THE DEVIL OF EVIL SPEECH.
By Rev. Polemus H. Swift.

Many a catastrophe has come to
struggling human life; many heart
has been made to ache; many a splen-
did plan has been made TO fail many
a cup of hope has been dashed from
the lips of yearning mOrtals; many
victory has been turned to defeat;
many a reputation has been blasted;
many a life has been embittered and
many a home has been broken up in
consequence of the sins of the tongue.
There is the devil of falsehood. Ev-
cry lie is of the devil. There is no
bright future for the man who cannot
be trusted How many forms this
devil takes on! Now he is the COM
mercial liar, who sells goods for one
thing when he knows they are some
thing else Now he is the social liar,
who INDUCES in white squibs." Now
he is the SANDER monger who delights
in circulating false reports because the
circulation will injure some one whom
he hates. Now he is the constituencies
politician, who persists in repeating
reports that have been nailed as lies
days and days ago, because if the re
port can be kept in circulation it will
make votes for his candidate.
Then there is the devil of gossip.
How many demons of that type there
are in our day How persistently they
keep at work. How diabolical their
business. The gossip goes about re-
peating an ill-founded tale or personal
remark in half confidence which eXerts
a diabolical influence that can never
be taken back or counteracted. 1t Is
oftentimes just a half criticism, a
slight fling, a suspicious word, depre-
eating sentence, a whispered suspicion,
a half truth or a whole truth that
ought never to be spoken, an insinua
ton that ought not to have amounted'
to anything.
There is also the devil of unkind
speech. How common that demon is.
You will find him in good homes. You
will meet him in Office. He Is not
stranger at your club. His face is not
unknown in your church. There are
great many people who would scorn
to tell a lie, who would spurn SANDER,
who could not be charged with gossip,
to whom falsehood is an utter stran-
ger, who are yet guilty of making
place for the devil of unkind speech
in their hearts.
Is it not strange that we speak the
unkindest words to those we love best?
That boys and girls will talk to their
mothers as they would not talk to any
other woman in the world? That girls
will speak to brother as they would
not think of speaking to any other
girls brother?

Short Meter Sermons.

The graces do not grow in gloom.
A growing faith will shatter many
forms.
Start in with a splurge, end with
dirge.
Dishonest thinking does not lead to
holy living.
1t takes strong man to stop doing
weak things.
There is little to admire in the man
who despises the good.
Half of success is in seeing the sig
nificance of small things.
You must master your own moods be-
fore you can master men.
To set child's face toward gladness
is to incline him to God.
A greedy hand never gathered
enough to feed its needy heart
Faith is not built by failing to take
fair account Of all the facts
Salvation often means making man
over according to ones pattern.
Red letter days are not made by
looking on the blue side of things
Many a preacher says he is seeking
souls when he is chasing statistics.
You cannot weld folks to the good
by frosty smile at the church door.
The possession of the vocabulary Of
virtue often is mistaken for it's prac-
tice.
Convert preachers to absolute sin
cerity and you can convert people from
their sins.
It's easy to build ideal castles If
you'll let the contract for the roads to
them to others.
lot of Sunday religion would put
up a better front If it was backed up
by weekday reality
When your face is an advertisement
of failures. it's no use talking of the
glory of your faith
The important thing about sermon
is not the impression it makes on you.
but the expression you give to it.
You cannot have good society WITH
bad men, but you can have bad So
ciety with good men If they fail In
their social obligations.

Electric Ripening of Fruit.


Ripening fruit by electricity is one
of the latest achievements of science.
The experiment was tried by an Eng
lish electrical expert, who found that
he could reproduce the effect Of the
tropical suns rays without the slight
est difficulty. The ripening experiments
have been tried for the most part with
bananas.
When punches Of the green fruit ar
rive in England they are put in an air
tight case made entirely of glass. In
side this case is supplied with a num-
Der Of electric lights which can be
turned on and off in any number at
will. 1t has been discovered that the
hananas ripen according to the amount
of rays shed on them. The expert has
made tests so that now he can ripen
bananas at any time he wants just by
regulating the lights. This is an i'm
mense advantage over the ordinary
method of ripening.
Bananas are cut and shipped when
quite green, but Of full size. 1t is err
roneously believed by those who have
never been in banana raising lands that
there the fruit is allowed to ripen on
the tree This is not the case. Bananas
are picked green and hung up to ripen
just as they are treated in the north.

Transplanting Nut Trees.

Nut trees as rule have long tap
roots and it has been handed down for
wears that to cut this tap root when
transplanting them meant death to the
free. but experience shows different. If
the long tap root is cut many laterals
are sent out, and thus fine, strong
system is established, which will make
a good tree.-Rural World.

The unusual occurrence of a COW
Giving birth to three calves, two males
and one female, has occurred on the
farm of Mrs Caleb Willin, near Bridge
vile. Della. The calves are perfectly
formed and all three marked alike.
The mother is a full-bred Jersey COW.
II Is estimated that 500 people viewed
mother and calves in one day.

trust, through friendly senator's, par
tally succeeded, and no alcohol will be
made on farms this year or next. In
fact, it is safe to say that it will be
many long years before the laws are
50 framed as to carry out the intention
Of Secretary Wilson in the matter.
There is, however, every prospect that
the manufacturing Of denatured alco
hol will soon assume large proportions
and that farmers will profit by raising
those crops that can be used in the
business.

Cost of Hauling CrODs.

1ue information contained in a bull
letln issued by the United States De-
paftment of Agriculture was secured
from correspondents in 1894 counties
III dlHerent States. The statistics deal
particularly with twenty-three of the
staple agricultural products grown in
the United States, and embrace the
number of counties reporting, average
miles OF shipping, weight per load, cost
per ton per mile, etc.
In a summary of these data the au-
thor says: The average costs per 100
IDS, for hauling products from farms
10 shipping points vary in number of
instances roughly with the relative
values of the articles hauled, the more
valuable product being hauled often at
greater cost than the less valuable
product. Corn, wheat, oats. hay and
potatoes were hauled at costs ranging
from to cents per 100 lbs, cotton
10 cents, and wool cost only 10 cents
per lOO lbs to be hauled from farms
The difference Of cost in hauling be-
tween one product and another is
largely due to the relative distance
traversed and the relative size of load
taken"
statistics are also presented and dis
cussed regarding the farmers longest
hauls and methods of hauling, with the
effect of these factors or local and gen
eral prices. The quantity OF farm
produce hauled in 190o-06 is estimated
at more than 100000 tons, and the
cost of hauling at about $S4,6S4, 900
for the most important crops mention
ed. The value of better roads, quicker
methods of loading and unloading, and
other factors are also discussed in
their bearing on the reduction in the
cost Of hauling.
Notes from correspondents, regard
ing the conditions Of wagon transpor-
tation in different parts of the United
States, are also appended.

DIRECTOR PATTERSON, of the Maryland Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, proposes a gen.
eral law for the licensing of dogs and the pro-
lection of sheep, lambs, poultry and other do
nestle animals from injury by dogs Senti-
ment appears to be growing everywhere for
the passage Of such law by the next Legisla-
ture. Prof. Patterson suggests that the owners
of dogs in the State shall be required to pro-
cure license at the rate of 81 per annum for
each male dog kept and So for each female dog.
The license fee so collected to be turned into
the county treasury and be set aside as special
fund for compensation to the person losing
sheep, lambs, poultry, etc., by dogs. All
moneys which arereceived by the county treas
urer under the provisions of this act and which
is not paid out for damages in the calendar
year for which it is collected, shall be expen-
ded for the restocking Of game in the respec-
tive counties under the direction of the State
Game Warden. Dogs not to be considered
property unless taxes are paid on them. The
enforcement of the law to be vested in the
County Commissioners of the respective coun-
ties. It is earnestly hoped that such law as
suggested by Prof. Patterson, or something
like it, may be passed at the coming session of
the Legislature. It is a matter in which the
farmers especially are deeply interested.

JUDGE N. CHARLES BURKE, in the Maryland
Court of Appeals few days ago, handed down
an opinion reversing the decision of Judge
Harlan, of the Criminal Court of Baltimore,
that the Maryland Club. leading social or
ganization of that city. was not guilty Of VIOLA
ting the Sunday liquor law, as charged in an
indictment by the grand jury. Although the
opinion is a ruling on pleas made by the coun-
sci for the club, its practical meaning is that
the Maryland Club was guilty of violating the
Sunday liquor law. and in its broader sense
that clubs are just as amenable to the law reg
ulating the sale of liquor as are saloons and
hotels. The decision also means that all So
cial clubs violating the Sunday liquor law
may be fined, when convicted, from 500 to
$500, and their license revoked. 1t is said
that States Attorney Owens action has been
due not to any fanatical opposition to the sale
of liquor in clubs, but to a desire to get after
some fake clubs, where swindling gambling
games and the illegal sale of liquor goes on
and that it was necessary first to get decision
of this sort.

ONE OF the most important weddings of the
season and one that was attended by avery
large and fashionable audience, was that Of

Old st. Pauls Protestant Episcopal Church,
North Charles street, and was performed by
