THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT
Splendid Progress Made in the Fight
Against King Alcohol During
the Last Century.

The chronicle of wonders, called the
history of the nineteenth century,
records victories of civilization trans
cending those of the previous
1,4OO years taken together, and in its
long list of moral triumphs the prog
ress of temperance ranks second only
to the abolition of the slave traffic.
A complete success of the prohibition
movement would reverse that sequence
of prestige.
The alcohol mania has proved far
more ruinous delusion than the belief
in the justice of the custom to enforce
the servitude of uncivilized races. For
one suicide caused by slavery, the
liquor passion has caused a thousand.
The inhumanities perpetrated by the
taskmasters of helpless bondmen are
surpassed by those which millions of
women and children have suffered at
the hands of rum crazed relatives. The
social degradation of slaves is more
than equaled by the social, moral,
mental and physical abasement of
drunkards. Bigots of class preroga-
tives never despised the poorest negro
as a slave of the drink vice is despised
by his neighbors and acquaintance,
whose verdict is not even offset by the
moral resisting power of its victim,
since drunkenness leads to the loss Of
self-respect.
Nay, it might be even questioned if
the loss of freedom, incident to the
man-hunts of the African slave deal
ers, is not dwarfed by the results of in
temperance. Four out of five convict
ed criminals can trace their ruin to
their passion for Intoxicating bever-
ages, and an equal percentage of
lunatics owe their affliction to the ''foe
that steals away the brain" More
over, the manacles of the alcohol pas
sion are harder to break than the
chains of serfdom, and the circum-
stance is perhaps the ultimate cause
of the difference in the completeness of
the triumphs achieved by the abolition
league and the advocates of prohibi-
ton.
Still, the progress of temperance
during the last hundred years is enor
nous as compared with that of any pre-
vious century since the days of Pytha-
goras, and may even be said to eclipse
the general success of the struggle
against the power of ignorance and de-
fusion.
The time evidently is near when no
scholar of the west Caucasian nation
will venture to dispute that alcohol is
in every sense foe to life, a nervous
irritant, without trace of nutritious
ingredients, and unauthorized by an
inevitable progressive power in its

GATE FOR THE BARN.
Where Some Unruly Animals Have to
BE Managed 1t Will BE Found
Very Useful.

In managing stock to the best ad
vantage in stables where few unruly
animals must be managed few easily
constructed conveniences can be
placed here and there that will great
ly lessen the labor of tying up the
stock, says an Ohio Farmer corre-
spondent. In our barn we have con-
structed few gates, as shown in the
accompanying illustration. The cross
pieces in the gate are made of pine,
being three inches in width and one
inch in thickness. Two pieces are re-
CURED both at the top and bottom
of the gate. 1t is very essential that
the crosspieces be of good timber and
quite free from knots, for the strength
of the gate greatly depends upon this
part of the construction. The vertical
pieces are made of oak, being two
inches in width and one Inch in thick

DID THE TIGERS KNOW
spect for Their Master Whom
They Saw Drunk.

A really remarkable story of ami
NAL perception has ben contributed
to Frank Leslie's Monthly by Mr..
Frank Bostock, who may be consid-
cred an authority on wild animals in
captivity.
L once had trainer, Mr.. Bostock
says, an old Irishman who had served
in British regiment in India, and
who knew the ways of tigers in
every detail. He taught three of
them to do more work in the arena
than l have ever seen done by any
other tigers. 1 have seen him sit
ting down between two of them at
rest times during rehearsals and ex-
aiming their claws to see if any of
them were sore or split. Anyone
who has ever tried that with even a
house cat knows that it strikes the
feline nature as an unwarrantable
familiarity. But they never did more
than show their teeth and whine, and
that half in playfulness.
One day the old fellow got very
drunk, the first time in his life, to my
knowledge. Before he was noticed
on his return to the cage he had gone

MILKING GLOVE TUBE.
A Device Which Is Quite Popular In
the Dairy Districts of Australia
and New Zealand.

In Australia there has been brought
into use in the dairies what is called
milking glove tube. A valve fits over
the teat and from the valve extends
long narrow tube, which conveys the
milk from the teat into covered pail.
The orifices in the cover of the pail are
just large enough to receive the tubes.
We illustrate the general idea here
with. From an American point of
view the device does not seem to be-
practicable. From Australian reports
we take it that the invention is sup
posed to be a substitute for cleanli-
ness in the dairy. A paper in that coun-
try says: Many of the troubles of
dairying are caused by the injurious
microbes that are carried by dirt into
the milk, and it has been recommends
ed by various authorities to groom

ness. In this gate the vertical pieces
are four inches apart. In hanging the
gate we have found nothing equal to
a strap hinge, with screw bolt for
hanger. The strap is bolted through
the gate with quarter-inch bolts.
The latch is made of the same ma
terial as the vertical pieces, being cut
down to half its size in order that the
side motion for moving the latch be-
low may be secured. 1t is bolted be-
tween the two three-inch pieces and
also to the piece below. When the top
of the lever is pushed forward the
gate is unattached, and with reverse ac-
ton the gate, when in proper place,
is securely held by the short right an
gular piece. A light brace is very
necessary to hold the gate in proper
shape. In our barn we have eight of
these light, simply constructed gates
that serve an indispensable purpose.
AT night all gates are closed, and if any
animal gets united no harm can DO
done.

THE BACTERIA SCARE.
A Subject on Which Much Is Written
by Persons Who Don't Know
Anything About 1t.

A good deal of misconception exists
in the public mind as to the nature
of bacteria. 1t is no unusual thing
to hear them called bugs" In fact
certain weekly paper, whose editor
should know better, has been guilty of
a headline, "Mr. - has discovered a
new bug" Only last week the writer
heard a fairly well educated man speak
of bacteria as bugs. Even the late Col.
Ingersoll stigmatized whisky as bug
juice" and the term stuck. Bacteria
are plants of the nature of fungus.
So when we hear about 100000 of them
being in thimbleful of milk we need
not be alarmed. 1t may only mean
that there are that number of yeast
plants in the milk. Whether the bac-
terra are harmful or not depends on
whether they are disease-producing or
not Out of million bacteria not one
may be harmful. Sour milk is prob
ably as healthful as sweet milk, vet it
has been rendered sour by the presence
of millions of these bacteria. The pub
lie seems to have taken up with the
idea that all bacteria are to be regard
ed as enemies. Hence we see reports
on milk, which represent it as swarm
ing with bacteria. The city and VIII
lage councils at once become alarmed
and propose sweeping measures to
prevent milk being sold that contains
more than certain number of bac-
terra. There is no doubt much reason
to watch the milk supply, but the mere
presence of bacteria determines moth
ing.-Farmers' Review.

TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

Keep all the dairy utensils spotlsss-
ly clean.
Keep the milk clean while being
drawn.
Own hand separator if J GU have ten
cows.
Let the salt be perfectly clean and
not too fine.
Remove milk as soon as possible
from the stables.
Use common clover as green soiling
crop; it makes butter.
Strain milk at once through several
thicknesses of cheesecloth.
Stop churning when the granules
are the size of a kernel of wheat.
The deep setting process, with plen-
ty of ice, makes summer butter max
ing easy and profitable.

the cows and wash their udders with
soap and clean water, and wipe them
with clean towel; to require the milk
ers to wash their hands and heads, to
brush and trim their nails, to wear
clean clothes, to put on white over
alls and caps at the time of milking,
to construct the floor of milking yard
and shed of asphalt, and to wash and
sweep it after each milking, and to
frequently tar and limewash both it
and the limework of the shed. All
these things are undoubtedly impor-
tant steps, and if they could be car
ried into practice would result in great
improvement in dairy work. But how
far are they practicable? Farmers
who have heard these recommends
lions have expressed the opinion that
If dairying is to require all this they
had better give up dairying at once"
We do not believe that any device can
take the place of cleanliness in the
dairy; and, moreover, device of this
kind will be very difficult to keep clean.

Parliamentary Bulls,

Here are a few "bulls" that have
been perpetrated from time to time
in the Austro-Hungarian parliament:
"One most important point of the
agricultural question is the mainte.
nance of the breeds of horses to which
l have the honor to belong"
"We are here for the veal and woe
of our constituents"
Gentlemen, consider this question
in the light of dark future"
''The eye of the law weighs heavily
on our press legislation"
"There, gentlemen, is the ever
changing point of which the opposi-
ton has made hobby horse"
"This taunt is the same old sea SER
pent which, for years and years, has
been grooming in this assembly."-Chi-
cago Inter Ocean.

The saloon Resnonsihle.

Rev. S. H, Morgan, chaplain of the
Huntsville branch of the Texas state
penitentiary, in a recent report,
says: 1.-The number of prisoners is
less than few years ago. One-third
of the populous portion of the state
is under prohibition. Seventy five
per cent. of the inmates come to the
prison from saloons and saloon in
fluences. AS these influences are cur
tailed, the number of state criminals
decreases" This testimony merely
affirms the assertion of the many
temperance workers that the saloon
is the chief source of crime.

slices and EnsiIaRe.

Experience has demonstrated that
there is no other way in which corn,
and in some cases clover, cow-peas and
sorghum, can be so cheaply harvested
or saved with so little loss as in the
silo. And there is no feed known which
is less harmful to the cowl and her
product than good silage, and no feed
that can be produced so cheaply. OF
course, it does not furnish a complete
ration; there should be some dry fod-
der fed with it, the same as there
should be dry fodder on pasture, and
in addition there should be more or
less grain fed.-Hoard'S Dairyman.

Edward. Temperance Contribution

King Edward has just sent per-
sonal contribution of $54.50 (ten
guiners) to the British Army Temper
ance association. This is the first time
in it's history, extending over 40 years,
that the association has received "a con-
tribution from the head of the state.
The war Office contributes 3,750 year
to the funds of the association. And
well it might, as Lord Roberts has
stated that the work of the A. 4. A.
had been equal to the addition of two
battalions to the effective strength Of
the army in India, where the member
ship is $4,000.

THE T1LDEN CLUB GATHERING.

Much interest is being taken in the
proposed gathering of Democrats at
the Tilden Club in New York on the
10Th, OF this month, and il has been in
tensified by the announcement that
friends of both men have succeeded in
effecting reconciliation between Ex-
President Cleveland and Ex-senator
David B. Hill II the programme, as
arranged, is carried out, the gathering
will be an impressive affair, and the
combining of Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Bryan among the speakers will be re-
garded as a decidedly novel feature.
The latter gentleman has been heard
so much of late that he is not novelty
in himself, but in the case of Mr.
Cleveland he has not been heard on
political affairs since he retired from
the White House in 1897, and certain
it is what he may have to say on the
occasion of the opening of the new
home of the Tilden Club will command
the attention of the whole country.
Announcement has been made of Mr..
CIeyeland's acceptance of the invitation
to deliver an address, but 1t Is not yet
known whether Mr. Bryan will be
present However, should he see fit
to decline the invitation extended to
him the fact should and Will not detract
from the Importance of the occasion.
These are the days of Democratic har-
mony and reconciliation, and if he
chooses to remain unreconcilable and
to sulk in his tent the party will move
forward without him. The rank and
file of the Democracy is beginning to
understand thht their party has mis-
sion other than to glorify Mr.. Bryan,
whom 1t has honored to the full, and to
appreciate the fact that his disastrous
leadership is thing of the past-New

An interesting feature in immIgra-
ton is noted in the figures for May, on
the arrivals at New York. Altogether
they exceeded something over 1900.
Among the arrivals last week were 700
Irish girls. A Catholic priest in charge
of this branch of immigration says that
of the entire number not one is in want
of home or employment. In fact, he
says that of the great number of irish
girls who have landed here this year
SO per cent have frien DIS to go to, and
it is impossible for him to provide one
of 100 applicants for servants with
girls from among those whom be shell

Ppn3 SfudipS Medicine.

CONSERVATION WAS displayed in the
Vatican the ether day when DIR. Lap
poni, POne Leo's private physician,
was seen going toward His Holiness
apartments with large microscope in
one hand and case containing sew
eral walls and surgical instruments in
the other. The rumor spread that the
Pope had suddenly become suddenly
ill, but soon the truth became known.
Pope Leo has long taken much in
terest i'm the progress of modern med
icine, and DR.. LappOni's object was to
show him specimens of the various
microbes which have been discovered
during recent years and to explain to
him the exact manner in which each
of them affects human beings.
The germs of typhus, tuberculosis.
diphtheria. anthrax and other mala-
dies were carefully examined through
the microscope by the Pope who asked
many questions. especially as to the
manner in which the germs find their
way into human bodies and as to the
methods which nave been devised for
destroying them.
