SPRAYING i'AID FOR POTATOES.
Careful potato growers con no longer
doubt the advantage's of spraying to
blight }•cars; but some doubt whether
the practice is profitable year atter year.
Tests along this-, line have been con-
tinua( for live years by the experiment
station at Geneva. N. Y., and the evi-
dence presented. Bulletin No. 200 giv-
ing details of the fifth year's test and
summitries of preceding years Seems
ccnclusivc in fever of lite practice. The
gain each year has been profitable; and
there is already much more than
enough excess of gain over cost to pay
for spraying five years more. Similar
gains. though not quite so great,
c.t,lained by farmers under test,
fully checked by the station and

We neat deliberately to free oMeelves
from any such paralyzing prejudice,
from the notion that there is an in-

toward the pit.
There are two possible views of this
word: One, that it is normally wholly
bad, with occasional heaven sent gleams
of goodness to throw its night into
greater relief; the other, that it is nor-
mally right, that wrong and sin are
unnatural and that the trend of human-
ity is upward and heavenward.
The law of the moral world is such
that neither of these views can be
adopted as envoys absolutely true; there
is no external law or force compelling
tzs, In spite of ourselves, either
TO BE GOOD Olt TO BE EVIL.
Even more sublime limn the fact that
the trend of mankind is forward and
upward is the deeper fact that we aro
kit ever free to choose what way life

There is another natural law in mor-
als that must be remembered; that is.
that a man goes in the direction which

Neither must we think we can take

to determine other lives, by influence,

THE PRINCIPAL DANGER
of moral stocktaking is that we man-

Many.
.Drugs as cures for drunkenness are
declared k) be useless, and even worse
than useless, by 1)1.. J. C. Dunlop, in-
spector for Scotland under the Inebri-
ate., Act.
"A specillc drug treatment," -.say's Dr.
J)unlop, "was tried in one reformatory,
llirgenti, but was found to be u com-
plete failure. The experience gained
by the trial of that treatment was c I

conclusive. n 1t
eptly definite to be
drugs used were atropine, quinine,
ei mnunium, sodium, and glome, a mix-
ture much vaunted for the cure of in-
ebriety. The Managers, desiring to
try the effects of such treatment, ask-
ed for inmates willing to submit to i1,
and 22 volunteered rind underwent a
full course. The result in every ease
was failure, for everyone of the women
Fc treated has since discharge selapsed
into drunken habits.
OTHER RESULTS.
"Glrgent has been auccesatul In row
farming some Inebrltttes, but of those
subjected to this drug cure none have
been reformed. Tho experiment is c 1
great value; 1t has shown the useless-
ness of any such treulinent when deal-
ing with the degraded class ot inebri-
ates committed to reformatories. No
lshort road to the reformation of the
degenerate Inebriates dealt with under
.Section 24 of the Inebriates Act has yet
been discovered. no means of obviat-
ing tete prolonged and necessarily cx-
ju►sive treatment of detention In a r•e-

Forty-seven per cent. of the patients
discharged from the Invcrneith "licen-
>'.ed retreat," where the inmates are all
in good financial circumstances, rid
self-supporting. have either given proof
of recovery or promise to do so. and
Dr. Dunlop regards this as very satis-
factory. Results in the reformatories.

are not nearly so satlsfactory, however.
Of all the cases That have completed
their sentences and been discharged,
rather less than one-fifth have been re -

here mentioned is the first of several
specifically noted by John, and furnishes
one of the important indications of lime
from which, together with others, it is
possible to ascertain, though with no
great degree of certainty, the duration of
Christ's public rnfnlslry as a whole,
which is usually taken to have extended
over the greater part of three years.

out of keeping with the sacredness of
the place, and ot.t of harmony with the
spirit of worship, but the selfishness and

"But the amount of reformation,'
the report observes, "is not the only
test of the utility of these ref-)rtnatories.
The benefits obtained from the main-
Ienance of a certified inebriate reform-
atory may Le looked for more in re-
moving the pernicious influence of the
worst of drunkards from a town or (run
n district, than in the reformation of a
lees"
To substantiate this, the experience
of Greenock is quote. That town is
possessed of a certified inebriate re-
formatory of sufficient size to deal with
al: its most.degraded drunken women,
and since its establishment female np-
j rehenstons by the police have dimin-

institutions, and their value estimated
accordingly.

BEAR Tllt'SE IN MIND.
A piano is a very delicate instrument.
anti requires careful treatment if its life
is to be a long and useful one. A musi-
cian gives our readers the following
hunts, which are worth beating In mind:
Never leave a piano in a damp room.
Damp rusts beth strings and tuning -
pegs. It also swells the felt on ham-
sters and dampers, cat.sing the mechan-
ism to move sluggishly.
Do not place heavy loads of books or
ornaments on top of a piano, otherwise
it may retaliate by emitting dieeordanl
sounds.
For dusting the case use an old soft
silk rag. Ruh the wood lightly, and in
eno direction only. Polishing the keys
with nlcohol will keep them clean.
A piece of camphor placed inside the
instrument will ward off the attacks of
meths on the felt.
In placing n piano in a room. the best
way of tending its proper position is to
move it about until the most satisfactory
r'mults are obtained. There are no fixed
riles on the subject.
