Has the liquor traffic ever built a
church, au asylum, or endowed A
college ?
Has it ever set a standard of bus•
inese character which is reoognized
in banks and counting -rooms
Has it ever given society a single
great braiued and great-hearted
man?
Has it ever made a wife happier
than she would be with a sober hue -
band ?
Has it over led a youth up into
noble manhood ?
Has it ever paid its own way as
a revenue returner ?
Has it ever lessened crime and
criminals ?
No, no ! Then, has it not been
weighed and been condemned as a
malefactor ?
Dare you sustain such an agency
and claim to be a good citizen ?
John R. Clarke will spend the
next three months at Grimsby park.
He delivers two addresses from that
platform, August 10th and 26th.
John A. Nicholls and Prof. Lane
assisted by a largo choir have been
bolding a week's temperance reviv-
al services in Welland, Ont.
Scott Act associations in Quebec
aro bestirring themselves to action,
and a vigorous enforcement of the
law is reported from Stanstead
County and other places.
A. recent analysis of "temperance
drinks" and "tonics," advertised to
"invigorate the system" reveals the
fact that they contain from seven to
fifty per cent. of alcohol.
Every State in the Southern
States has some form of local option
wheal prohibition granted by the
Legislature, so that more than half
of the territory is rid of the licensed
liquor traffic.
Bev. Dr. Griffin has stated that
sieve' the Scott Act has been in force
there was not three-quarters of the
drinking done in Guelph that there
was formerly and very little liquor
brought in.
Australia has had for many years
a temperance organization known
as "The Australian Army of the
Crusaders." Its members are grad-
ed in twelve ranks according to age,
the strictness of their obligations
and the length of their membership.
The highest rank is the gold cross
degree for those aged 42 years and
upward, who have kept a total ab•
stinenee pledge for sixteen years.
The Homoeopathic Medical Sd-
ciety of Kansas has passed the fol-
lowing resolution :—"That the pro.
miscuous prescribing of stimulants
and morphine is a very pernicious
practice and is producing great in-
jury to society, thereby developing
the habit of opium eating and in•
temperance ; and further, that this
society endorses the prohibitory
movement as a step in the right di.
rection in the field of preventive
medicine."
Roderick D. Gambrell, editor of
The Sword and Shield, the leading
temperanoe paper of the State of
Missouri, was waylaid on a bridge
by the leader of the whiskey ring
(Col. Hamilton) and his companions
and there murdered, three bullets
'being fired through hie body and
hie bead crushed by a blow. This
is the fourth assassination in that
county, three of ahem within a
month. Mr. Gambrell's offence was
his exposure and denunciation of
the whiskey traffic and other wick-
edness.
HARMONY AT HOIRE.
1. We may be quite sure that our
will is likely to be crossed during
the day ; so let us prepare for it.
2, Every person in the house has
an evil nature as well as ourselves
and therefore we must not expect
too much.
8. Look upon each member of the
family as one for whom Christ died.
4. When inclined to give an ang-
ry answer, let ns lift up the heart in
prayer;
5. If from sickness, pain or in-
firmity, we feel irritable, let us keep
a very strict watch over ourselves.
6. Observe when others are cuff.
ering, and drop a word of kindness.
7. Watch for little opportunities
of pleasing and put little annoyances
out of the way.
8. Take a cheerful view of every.
thing and encourage hope.
9. Speak kindly. to dependents
and servants and praise them when
you can.
10.1n all little' pleasuree which
May occur, put self last.
el. Try for the soft answer that
turneth away wrath,
Hee-Beeping in Early Summer.
Early summer is the season in
whieh to transfer bees from old box
toole required for this operation aro
a good bellows, molter, hammer,
stout ehieol for prying off Bide of
hive and cutting, n long, sharp -
bladed knife, for cutting out ooiube,
and a long hook, made like a corn
rnon stove poker, with bent end
sharpened—this for loosening combs
from aide of hive. After smoking,
invert the hive, place a box upside
down over the inverted hive, and
hives to movable framev ; the flow -
ors being full of honey, there is no
danger from robbers. Tlie only
see that no bees escape around the
box. Now drum with two nicks on
the outside of the hive until the
bees have ascended into the box,
then remove the box,taok a piece
of wire cloth over the top and set in
a pool plane until wanted ; place a
decoy hive or box on the old stand,
to receive any bees that return from
the field.
Take yuur hive to a sheltered
place or inside of a building: drive
out the oross sticks which you will
find about midway betwoeu the top
end bottom, and Bever the attach•
ratite of comb on aide of hive,
which can be most easily removed ;
pry off the nide, cutting the neile if
neooeaary, and you are now ready
to work., On your table have a
cushion made of cotton batting or
old quilts ; lay the comb on this,
after brushing off the bees; lay the
frame ou the comb and cut it to fit
sungly. Any plane that are left
may he filled in with pieces of the
comb. If any combs are too thick,
shave off to proper thickness (about
one inch). When the frame is full,
have some small strips of wood,
about a quarter incl] thick and half
inch wide—stripe to extend a trifle
above and below bottom bar --plane
these on each side of frames (as
many as necessary), opposite each
other ; over the ends snap a small
rubber band, both at top and bob•
tem, the frame is now ready for
the hive, which should be placed on
the old stand ; spread a sheet on
the ground in front of the hive Anel
throw the bees on the sheet, when
they will walk in. In a few days
pull the bands off the top of the
strips, when they eau be pulled
from the bottom without taking out
the frames.
WiTClb THE INSECTS.
Injurious unlade demand atten-
tion throughout the steamer months.
Look for the borers near the base of
young fruit trees ; if saw -dust is
seen to drop from a hole in the
bark, or if a portion of the bark is
seen to be depressed, out out the
borer.—If the leav es of currants or
gooseberries are eaten by "the
worm," apply white helibore et
once. Sfir a tablespoonful of the
powder in a pailful of water, and
apply with a eyringe. Repent this
after a few days. If later broods
appear continue the remedy, which
is a very oerbain one,—The green-
ish sling slug, which appears upon
the leaves of cherry, pear, and other
trees, may be destroyed by applying
air -slacked lime or wood ashes.
This may be dusted upon the leaves
by means ole bag of coarse fabric,
attached to a polo.—The insects at.
tacking the grape vine this montk,
are mainly large caterpillars, which
are most readily picked by hand ;
the no -called "thripe," which is
properly the "grape -vine leaf hop-
per," and not related to the true
thripe. It is a little whitish insect
which often rises in clouds when
the vine is disturbed. The beet
treatment is to go among the vines
with torches, gently beating them
to disturb the insects, which will
at once fly towards the light.—The
firet appearauoe of grayish epote on
the undersides of the vine indicates
mildew, and flower of sulphur ejiould
be applied with a bellows made for
the purpose.—Whenever pear trees
are attacked by blight, which Domes
without warning, cut away every
blighted portion and burn it.
Slanderous.
In last week's Hays City Times
we found the following article cred-
ited to the Beatrice, Neb., Demo-
crat :
A. Tecumseh preacher, at the close
of a singsong sermon on Sunday
last, made the following church an-
nouncement
"Next Thursday, the Lord per-
mittin', we will have a doin'e on the
prick, at which time and place we
will have the baptizin' of two adults
and three adultresses.
On Thursday night we will have
a strawberry festival and all the sis-
ters who give milk aro requested to
come early, Wo will now close the
services by singing that beautiful
hymn, 'LittloDrops of Water, Little
Online of Saud.' "
THE BRUSSELS POST
Jost then he looked toward the
choir mud perceiving that Brother
Tierney, the leader, eves not present
said t
"I ala sorry to see Mr. Tierney is
absent ; will the beautiful and an-
gelic ladies of the choir p!oaee start

OPERATING I'ilE IIIOWER.
Take up the wear of the boxes by
removing the stuffing. If the jour•
vale have too muob play they out
fast. But if the boxes fit too close-
ly, they will heat. The thickness
of newspaper all around each is suf-
ficient play. Examine all the unto
and tl uten any that aro loose. A
loose nut wilt cause the machine to
wear or break ; and will lose off in
the field, causing a vexatious delay
et the least. If any nut is very
loose, place a leather washer under
H, and sink the nut in. Assure
youreelf that there is no weak spot
in the whiffietrees. They always
break at the wrong moment, and
may allow your machine and your
team to mire down iu a muddy
spot. Mind the sickles. Every
mower should be provided with
three sickles, so that as soon as one
becomes dulled, another may be put
in He place, A. dull sickle does
"ragged" cutting, and will increase
the wear and draft of the machine
one half. Observe if the sickle bar
is not warped ; and if the points of
the sectione are in a perfeetly
straight line. A. section out of Hue
will wear fest and increase the
draft. Try the sections, and tighten
any that are loose. A loose section
is apt to cause a breakage. A loose
guard will produce the same result.
See that the tool box contains claw -
hammers, pincers, file, sections,
rivets, bolts, wire and r aile ; the
lack of these will often require a trip
from the field to the tool house. If
any journals have rusted, use coal
oil every few minutes, for the first
half hour, driving slowly ; and it is
well to use coal oil ooeasionally on,
the track of the ankle, to clear off
the gum that gathers from the grass.
The machine oil often sold 10 poor
stuff; it is often necessary to add
castor oil to give H body. If too
much of the latter is used, however,
It will gum. We have never used
anything that gave higher satisfac-
tion than lard (unsalted) with cas-
tor oil added to give it a little body.
If the lard is taken to the field hot,
in the morning, the sun will been it

tune Tellers.

What to learn.
The secrete of the past, present
or future.
There ie always some lucky bit–
lucky for the fortune teller.
The most of people who have
lived to any age have friends com-
ing from a distance. Many have
relatives who die and leave them
fortunes. 'Young tire usually in
love with some ono of the opposite
sex who is either dark or fair, and
a journey is imminent in nearly all
conditione. Crossing the water
may mean going over a ferry or a•
running brook, as well as an ocean.
But the myths quality lies in the
fact that the person telling all these
things is an announced seer—born
with a caul, like Davie Oopperfield,
and having intimate relations with
the world of futurity and the powers
of mystery.
No matter how ignorant of the
civilizing influences of this lite the
inspired fortune teller may be, how
cheaply gotten up, or with what
sordid ciroumstanoes environed, pro -
fowlers of ail the sciences aro willing
to kneel at her feet to learn the 'se -
orate of the past, present and future,
from her occult knowledge.
A new mythology would be a
boon to society in its present con•
dation when everybody ire looking for
a sign.
The crowing of a gook was an
omen of ill to Peter. It heralds a
visitor in those days as well as a
change of weather.
If you drop the scissors, a fork or
a pen, and the point sticks in the
floor, somebody ie coming.
If your nose itches you are going
to hies a fool.
If pour left hand tinkles you will
handle a cum of money.
If Ilio right hand, you will shake
hands with a friend.
If you first see.a visitor in the
Iookingglass it is a sign of misfor-
tune.
Two spoons signify a wedding ;
bea•sp0ena are understood.
But these signs of necromancy
are as old as the doinge of Macbeth's
witches, whose weird incautations
are practiced to this day. Indeed,
