Fattening Fish on Corn.

Here is something new in the pro-
duction of meat. A telegram from
Kenosha, Wisconsin, says that people
along Fox River, in that State, have
opened up a new industry n are
fattening fish on orn for the Chicago
market. German carp, which are
plentiful in Fox River, are scooped
up in nets and placed in a big pen
fenced off in a small stream. They
are fed on corn and grain, the same
as hogs. Il is claimed the fish take
on flesh rapidly, and it is not ulcom-
mon to take carp from the pen weigh
ing from thirty to fifty pounds. Last
year the ingenious workers in the
new industry sold over two tons of
fish fattened in this way. This sea-
son they will dispose of twenty tons,
as there is a good demand.

Tempcrancc Notes.

The anti-saloon sentiment was
never stronger throughout the coun-
try than it is now.
A noted physician of Paris asserts
that it is impossible for a h%abitual
drunkard to have sound children.
After an exciting and holly con-
tested local option campaign and cleo
ton, Athens, the county seat OF Attn
ems County, Ohio, voted out her sa-
looms on May 30, by 4 majority Of
thirteen votes. A total of 1880 votes
were cast.
Bradford, Ohio, which voted in
favor of the saloons two years ago, by
a majority Of twenty-eight, has just
carried local option by a vote Of 1S9
to 1874.
There seems to be a wave Of pro-
hibition gradually sweeping over tho
country; this is especially true of the
South.
In a recent leading editorial in the
washington Star that paper says!
"Tne whole South is likely to be afj
fected shortly by the Prohibition pro-
paganda. and this means that at no
distant date the question will grow in
National importance and will enter
into the calculations Of patty Mau-
ayers"

Scores of instances illustrating this
truth come to this office every week.
Here is one which made its appear

Until about a year ago John H.
Hodges, of Durham, N. c., was looked

He was a total abstainer, but sud-
denly he took to drinking and began
to neglect his family. His wife ar

dragged his sick wife from her bed,
and Notwithstanding the most pitiful

Better Truth or Truth Better.

The whole matter was once put by

he said: +,

This Is the true doctrine Of the
open mind. To speak Of the ever
moving revelation of God" Is mis-
leading, and also entirely untrue, If
by it is meant that God has given to
men nothing eternal, definite and
fixed. According to this, fixed truth
Is to be the possession alone Of the.
future; the men Of the present are.
left with nothing but uncertainties.
