Autumn Fires.

Autumn Fires.
In all other gardens
And all I'D the vale.
From the autumn bonfires
See the smoke trail.
Pleasant summer over,
And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
The gray smoke towers.
Sing a song of seasons,
Something bright in all,
Flowers in the summer,
Fires in the fall.

LIQUOR CLOUDS ONES BRAIN
"Tempcrate" Use of lntoxcants Is Apt
to Be Productive Of Queer Fan
cics and Fallacies.

It is well known fact that when
alcohol enters the body, one Of the
first organs TO feel its influence is the
organ of the mind, the brain. The per-
ceptive faculty is beclouded, the rea-
son dethrored, and the moderate drin-
ker never knows the exact moment
when the sceptre passes into the hand
of the arch-deceiver. In fact, such is
the Elusive nature Of strong drink that
tho d7:2l;c~ often imagInas that a
proper and legitimate" use Of the
same stimulates and sharpen6 the in
tellect We find among the friends
and supporters Of the liquor traffic
very few total abstainers. The mod
crate drinker, on the other hand is
found CharaCteriZing liquor as neCes
sary evil and apologizing for the So
loon as the poor mans club, which
goes to prove that even a temperate"
use of intoxicants is apt to be pro-
,ductive of queer fancies and danger

good lawyer, an able editor or an emf
tnent clergyman.

An American social reform journal
has this to say of the evil of the IL
censed liquor traffic:
1T is not chiefly that the saloon Is
"a political evil, not chiefly that drunk
,enness is abhorrent, not chiefly that
ut interferes with work and business,
not altogether, that it makes so much
misery for so many, but that at last
we are seeing that the saloon and in
Temperance are the enemies of souls
that have infinite worth and the De
stroyers of bodies that have cost such
care. We are at last seeing how ut
Iterly Illogical, even imbecile. 1t is to
spend thousands of dollars on schools
and churches to produce fine souls and
thousands of dollars OF sanitary cit
lies and streets and houses and safe
guards to grow a healthy young man,
and even to spend thousands more to
restore criminals TO manhood, and
then 10 allow on any corner an insti-
tuition which destroys both body and
soul"

HORSE KICKS UP 148 COINS

a horse kicked a remarkable treas
ure trove into view on John McEWen' S
farm on the Canadian side Of the St.
Lawrence river, near Ogdensburg. n.
Y. Six pieces Of silver flow from the
horses hoof when the animal was be-
ing driven across a field. The driver
jumped into the horses tracks and,
digging with his hands, turned up 14S
coins-three Spanish pieces, one Brit
ish, one f1ve-franc piece, and 14S
United States half dollars.
BY English law treasure trove goes
to the crown, so the coins have been
turned over to the police. They date
from 1905 to 1928 and they were found
buried in straight rows standing on
edge, only three inches under ground.
Workmen who built the Rideau ca
nal were paid in American silver, it
being part of the indemnity paid by
the United States to Great Britain.
This money was sent 70 the canal dis
trict in kegs, some OF which were stol-
en- and never recovered 1t is be-
lieved the money found is some Of that
lost eighty years ago.

OPERATE BOAT BY WIRELESS
trolled by Manip; !ator of NJ achan-
ism on River Bank

There was evhjy Il on the Dcnube
at Vienna, recently, a boat which is
controlled by wireless electricity from
the bank, without any person being on
board
The boat carries 2 storage battery
which furnishes its motive power, the
system" or invention consisting in
the adaptation OF wireless electric
waves Of different lengths to the con-
troll of the motive power, steering
gear and other mechanism This sys-
TEN, 1t is also claimed, will prevent
disturbance by electric waves else
where generated within the same
sphere Of influence.
At recent exhibition the boat was
manifesly operated without other con-
troll than that exercised by the manip-
ulator Of the wireless mechanism on
the bank. 1t moved forward and back,
turned right and left, described fig
ures, was guided to definite points,
rang bells, exhibited flags and lights,
fired guns, etc, giving proof of effec-
tive control.
The mechanism is, however, far
from perfect the speed is not great,
the responses to the operators will
are hesitating and inexact, and the
range is limited to few score yards.
The exhibition, in fact, was notable
only as the beginning Of the develop
ment Of a mechanism Of possible great
importance

WATER TURKEY OF FLORIDA

In the Indian river region or Florida
are to be seen islands green with man
grove bushes down to the waters edge.
The scene is animated by the presence
OF many water fOwls-pelcans, galli-
Mules, water tur..eys, COlIuof auts and
hsh crOws-feeding on the island, to-
gether with smaller numbers of gulls,
terms, VuItures, Ospreys and man-o-War
hawks, sweeping, skimming and sail
ing in the air above. In all this array
of bird life there is no more curious
and interesting creature than the wa
ter turkey, which is sometimes called
the snake bird.
AS the stranger gazes upon this
scene he is sometimes apt to think he
sees a queer snake wriggling out OF
the water several feet into the air
If he grabs his gun and fires 1t is
probable that a part of the supposed
snake will drop upon the water. while
the other part takes wing and flies
away.
The stranger wonder whether the
snake dropped the bird or the bird the
snake. The explanation is quite sim
pie. A snake bird, or water turkey
tPiotua anhinga), swimming with Its
long neck only out of the water, had
the snake in it's bill and the snake
was dropped when the gun was fired
The water turkey has been called
the most preposterous bird within the
range OF ornithology. He is not
bird says one authority, he is
neck, with such subordinate rights,
members, appurtenances and heredita-
ments thereunto appertaining as seem
necessary to that end. He has just
enough stomach to arrange nourish-
.ment for his neck, just enough wings
to fly painfully along with his neck,
and just enough legs to keep his neck
from dragging on the ground; and his
neck is light colored, while the rest OF
him Is black"

FARMER is ULTIMATE LOSER
For All the Mischief Wrought by
Saloons Country People Must
Foot Heaviest Portion.

The great argument used for licens-
ing the saloon is that a revenue is
thus secured to lessen taxation. 1t Is
said, License money will build side
walks, support schools, and do many
other things which otherwise would
have to be paid for directly out of the
pockets of the taxpayers.
L:oo;,5o l,.o::;cy does not decrease
your taxes one cent; but the saloons
do increase your taxes enormously.
You are not taxed to build sidewalks,
hight the streets, or to do any Of the
shings it is claimed license money
does for the town. But you are taxed,
and that right heavily, to pay the
county's bills for courts, jails, poor
houses, care of the insane, and things
hke that The land you own pays the
bulk of the county taxes.
, The poor-house and farm are just
outside the city limits and you feel
battered when the state authorities
report It the best institution Of the
Rind in the state. Well, you may, for
you are back of that institution, so
tar as money goes; for the taxes you
pay, in large measure, sustain 1t. But
ITS physician, himself a drinking-man,
not a temperance fanatic, reports

That at least three-fourths Of its in

The case in a nutshell is this: II
there Is any good coming from license
which We deny-the city gets it;
while for all the mischief the saloons
work, the farmers foot the heaviest
part Of the .i.i-
Infinitely beyond any money consid-
cr&t!o2 &C The danger-pits that the IL
censed saloons of the town dig for the
unwary feet Of your boys. From lack

able than city boys, to fall victims to

SECRET OF OASIS REVEALED

The opening of railway communica-
ton from a point near Luxor into the
Libyan desert has rendered easy of
access the celebrated oasis of Khar-
geh, long regarded as typical exam
pie Of these isolated centers of life.
For some time past certain scien-
lists have while actually residing
there, been studying the phenomena Of
springs, moving sands, wells. and so
forth 1t appears from their investiga-
tions that the Ilbyan GASES are deep
depressions in a lofty plateau that
has a maximum elevation Of nearly
1000 feet, but that the bottom of the
GASES are only from one hundred to
three hundred feet above sea level.
They are underlaid by beds of Of sand,
stone, which are the sources Of the
water supply.

nine feet in circumference, had out

Brunni started to cut it down, but

tust what was in the center of the
tree, both men attacked the trunk

work sent the upper part Of the tree
crashing to the ground, exposing to
view steel plowshare. The plow-
share was upright and probably had

ARRANGING GRADE OF CREAM
Lack of Quality Has Long Been DetrI-
ment 70 Dairy Interests Of
the United States.

Increased attention is being given
in butter producing districts to the
grading of cream and the arranging of
price schedules to conform more near,
ly with the real value of different
grades of the product Lack of quail
ity has long been a serious detriment
to the dairy interests of the United
States, regardless of locality. The
production Of d higher quality Of
cream by the individual farmer has
long been urged by the creamery op-
orators as the prime necessity to the
production of better butter. For the
most part, however, creamery inter
ests and creamery operators-eyen
under the cooperative plan-have Of
fered no particular inducement to
the farmer to improve the quality of
his product. Producing cream under
the most improved conditions and
keeping and delivering it in the best
possible condition generally costs more
work and more money than the pro-
ductiOn of an inferior product AS
long as cream is paid for on a fiat
scale at so much per pound of butter
fat regardless of condition, the great
bulk of farmers are not going to spend
money and effort to deliver n high,
grade product at the creamery When,
however, a price difference is paid
commensurate with the real difference
in quality the matter becomes a Ques-
ton Of economics, as it properly
should, and there is a tangible object
in delivering cream of high quality.
There is Just as much good, sound
season back of grading cream as pay
ing for 1t according to its relative
value as there is in the grading of
wheat and corn.

MOST SOUTHERN INDUSTRY

OIL Macquarie island belongs to the
state of Tasmania and has an area of
about $4,000 acres, being about %
miles long and 3 miles wide The
Island has been leased by the Tas-
manlan government to Joseph Hatch,
who has established the penguin oil
industry there
There are probably S0,0OO,OO0 pen
gums on the island, so that the stock
TO be drawn from seems almost limit
less. There are also a large number
OF sea elephants about the shores of
this island. The oil is obtained from
the penguins by boiling the carcasses
In digesters capable Of dealing with
800 birds at time. The oil is placed
In barrels and sold to binder Irvine
makers in Australia and New Zea-
land.
Macquarie island is about $50 miles
southeast Of Hobart The island is bar
rem, being covered only with tussocky
grass. Whaling ships visiting there
have introduced rabbits and Maori
hens, which are now quite prolific.
