Are You Working For Temperance? ?

The great question, after all, in
temperance is not whether all people
are working in the same way, but
whether they are working In some way
for this urgent cause. People will
never wholly agree upon methods in
temperance any more than they will
in church policy. 1t is useless to try
to round up all temperance sympa-
thizers in the fold of one society or
under the leadership of one reform
or one newspaper This is not to
say that all methods are equally
good, for some are better than others
and some may do we'll for one set
of circumstances, but not for others.
The best methods must be sought,
with charity for those who differ
from us. And yet, the great, in
sistent moral question is not Are
you working in any way for tenn
perance?" but Are you con-
scientiously and prayerfully and def
nitely working in some way to re-
form the drunkard, to abolish the
saloon, to educate the children, to
oppose the expectation of American
rum to American colonies-in a
word, to make the world a cleaner,
quieter, happier place to live inn

Keep Hens at Work.

To prevent disease keep the hens
at work by making them scratch for
their grain food. Overlooking is the
cause of bowel diseases in the sum-
mer, or, rather, too much concen-
trated food Is given. and not enough
of that which Is bulky. If the quar-
tiers are kept clean there Is little
danger of contagious disease unless
an addition is made to the flock by
bringing bird from some other
farm. When new blood" is wan
ed procure a sitting of eggs of the
breed desired, as it Is very important
that when the coops are clean, and
the fowls free from disease, no fowls
from other places be introduced. as
flock may thus be stocked with
lice or infected with disease.-Phila-
delphia Record.

in the barrel before it fills. When
the water rises as high as the dia-
phragm, the float closes the hole and
the pure water then rises and flows
into the Cistern. After the rain the
water in the barrel should be drawn
off. 1t is useful for watering plants,

THE GENTLEMANLY CHEETAH.

The cheetah has reputation as
one Of the most gentlemanly OF
beasts.
A story from Ootacamund shows
what fine manners the animal has.
Three Calcutta visitors to the hill
station were out on tramp when
they were overtaken by thunder
storm, accompanied by sheets of
rain. They spied cave in the side
of the hill and into it they rushed.
When the rain stopped they came out
and to their surprise found cheetah
sitting licking the heavy wet off his
waistcoat and his paws.
1t was his cave. but rather than
deprive his visitors of their shelter
the polite creature had sat outside in
the driving tempest. With friendly
new and gracefully wagging his tail
the cheetah bade adieu to his guests
and walked with dignity into his
house. Asian.

Bury the APPLES.

Keeping apples by burying them
in the ground proves successful when
other methods fail, provided every
apple is sound and free from blem-
ish when harvested. The reason is
that the temperature in the ground
or mound in which the apples are
kept varies but little, and they are
always cool. The same results will
be obtained If a cold and even tenn
perature can be secured in a cellar.

VENlSoN AND CRANBERRIES.
Nature in Canada Provides Both the
Juicy Meat and Proper Sauce.

Nature in Canada Provides Both the
Juicy Meat and Proper Sauce.
Never had such luck in my life.
Got all the deer the law allows the
first day. Shot a big moose that night
by the light of the campfire within
twenty-five yards Of the hut. Had all
the hares and cartridges We wanted
to eat, brought home wolf skin and
three minks, and gathered three bags
of the incest cranberries you ever
saw"
This was the cheerful statement
made by a business man who always
takes his holidays In the shooting sea-
son, and this year spent his fortnight
on the Desert River, above Mont Cert,
Canada.
From all accounts this has been a
record season for deer everywhere. In
many cases parties have returned from
the woods much earlier than they had
intended, because they had made their
bags of game.
There were not many, though, who
had the foresight to pick and take
home the berries for sauce. The In
dams believed that there was a kind
of providence in the connection exist
ing between partridge and beach nuts,
wild geese and wild celery, black bear
and ripe fruit, and saw that there was
a reuniting Of these things at meal
times.
Some unfortunate men have had the
good luck to eat a pot roast of yeni-
son prepared by thoroughly cooking 1t
in a tightly covered iron pot and serv-
ed with a plentiful supply of cranber-
ry sauce boiled with sugar. Those
who have go prepared to make free
use of the berry on their hunting ex-
neditions, and occasionally bring home
a bagful or two.-Washington Post.

WONDERFUL GERANIUMS.
Why California Should Beat the World
on Common Flowers.

Why California Should Beat the World
on Common Flowers.
1t Is singular fact that we Cali
fornians neglect the geranium, says a
writer in the Garden Magazine. East
erners envy US because the geraniums
grow up to the second story of a
house and visitors say that tive-foot
hedge of red geraniums is one Of the
most brilliant sights on earth. Why
don't we have more hedges like this ?
And why don't we have more and bet
tire geraniums everywhere instead of
coddling rare plants that are not
adapted to our conditions? No other
plant, native or foreign, seems to be
so perfectly at home with us as the
much-neglected geranium.
Any one who explores our foothills
and canyons may find deserted cabins
around which are growing many varie-
ties of geraniums, in nearly all shades
of color, from white to carmine, with
no hand near to till, with no moisture
except the annual rainfall, yet seeming
to thrive fully as well as the average
native plant.
The geranium is valuable for its foil
age effect alone for massing in our
drier and more barren spots-yet the
geranium with us, as everywhere, is
distinctly a Towering plant, more 30
by far than the Gamma and host Of
other well-known "bedders." This ne
glect is due, no doubt, to the ease with
which it can be grown.
The novelty of being able to grow
geraniums out Of doors every month of
the year appeals very strongly to the
newcomer, who has known 1t only as
a much-coddled pot plant, after he sees
the possibilities Of our climate, some
thing less common-something impos-
sibls Of successful growth in his east
ern home-claims his attention to the
complete neglect Of the geraniun.
