Some of the grain men claim the
barley is being threshed too close on
this prairie to bring the best price
for brewing barley. 1t is claimed
that all grains that are broken or
the ends broken off are of no benefit
to the brewers. Otherwise the barley
on Nezperce prairie is as good as
that raised anywhere, no exception.

Old Time Drunkenness.

In reviewing The Early Married
Life Of Maria Josepha, Lady Stanley"
the London Spectator comments on the
light In which drunkenness was re-
garded at the beginning Of the nine
teenth century. There was a christen-
ing of twins and rejoicing among the
neighbors, tenants and laborers. "All
the guests" says Maria, were as
drunk as ever had the pleasure of
seeing any one" Among the laborers,
however, shat extent Of intox1cation
was not reached which causes men to
be swine"
Lady Sheffield, who received this &C
count Of the festivities, replies: II
would have given a great deal to be
present. There Is nothing / love so
much as such sort Of festivities, where
one has the satisfaction Of knowing
that one makes one's friends happy as
well as drunk" In London, she de-
clares "when you give a ball you at
front many people, please few, make
many drunk and yourself miserable"

Too Much Music.

II like churches to provide fine mu-
sic at all times" said a prominent
clergyman, "but there are cases on
record where the music has been given
too prominent place.
San eloquent brother divine from
South Carolina once told me that going
to preach at strange church he was
taken aside By a deacon, who whis-
pered:
"'Beg pardon, sir. but must ask
you not to preach longer than ten or
twelve minutes. It's the music that
the people come here for
"That was wrong. But worse still
was the case of supply preacher In
church famous for its anthems and
choruses. The stranger, not noticing
the scraplng and tuning Of nddles'
rose and began to preach, when the
choir leader jumped up and shouted
angrily to him from the choir loft at
the other end of the church;
"Sit down. man! When It's your
turn wen tell you.'"
