Governor St, John relates in one • of bis epeeelies the following lucid. tint : "A poor woman with a baby in her arms came to me with a pet- ition for the pardou of her husband, who was sentenced to ten years in the pea iteuliary for homicide. After examining her papers, he said to the woman : 'I am bound by my official duty, and roust not consult my personal feelinge.' The poor woman, sta::diug with the child in her arms made the following plea : `Hear me, and 1 wilt tell you the true story. We .sere married ewe. eral years ego, My husband was sober, industrious cud thrifty. By great exertions and self.denial wo finally -got. our Homo pied for, and were happy and prosperous. In au evil hour On stale licensed a saloon between our happy home and the workshop. He was solicited to en• ter this saloon and weakly yielded. Hoar after hour he spent there playing Garde. One day he became embroiled in a drunken qnarrel, and, fired by drink, struck a man and killed him. He was tried and sent to the penitentiary for ten years. I. had nothing to live on ; and by and by the sheriff turned us out .of our comfortable home into a rough shauty, neither lathed or plastered—the cold wind came in through the walls and ceiling. My oldest boy took sick and died. Now this babe in my arms is sick, and I have uowhere to take it. The State licensed that saloon ; the Stats murdered my children ; and now, in God's name, I want you to set my husband free.' "I said I would and I dict" PROHIBITION Saves THE .Boys.— '1'he best argument I have found in Maine• for prohibition was by an editor of a raper in Portland, that was for political reasons, mildly op- posed to it. I bad a conversation with him that eau something like this : 'Where were von born ?' 'In a little village about six miles from Bangor.' 'Do you remember the condition of things in your . village prior to prohibition ?' 'Distinctly. There was a vast amount of drunkenness, and conse- quent disorder and poverty.' 'What was the 'affect of prolub- Ilion ?' 'It shat up all the rum shops, and practically vanished liquor from the village. It became nue of the most quiet and prosperous places on the globe,' 'How long did you live in the village after prohibition ?' '.Eleven yeere, or until I was twenty-one years of age.' 'Then :" `Then 1 went to Bangor.' '.Do you drink now ?' I have never tasted a drop of lir quer in my life.' 'Why ?' 'Up to the ago of tyventyouo I never saw it, and after that I did not care to take on the habit,' That is all there is in IL If the boys of the country are not expos- ed to infantilism, the men are very sure not to be. This man and hie schoolmates were saved front ruin by the fact that they could not got it until they were old enough to know better. Pew men are drunk- ards who know not the poison till after they ere twenty-one. It is the youth the whiskey and beer men want. Fashion Note:,. Colored pearls are much esteem. ed for elegant jewels. Belts made entirely of gilt braid aro stylish and are worn with white Costumes. Fancy hairpins are generally worn and continue to be ornament- al and elaborate. Imitation palms in pots for the hallway and Ostrow are hard to detect from the genuine. They call the now gold girdles happiness belts, because they make bright the waist places. s Itisto be b noted that girls iris oft d g he period have taken up the etub pen o for their social correspondence. Women who wear diamond brace- lets in travelling are usually the ones who eat peas with a knife. Large buttons enter onto the trimmings of many fall costumes, and are of very beautiful workman• ship. The soft, warm (knitted silk un' dormer promises to take place of the jersey weaves, as it is healthful. The colored masked veil is more or lees worn by women who want either to bids or protect their nom- t ploxione, i The bites of epiders and the slings of bees and wasps usually re- quire no other treatment than measures to allay the pain. There aro various popular remedies em- ployed for this purpose. Some- times hartshorn is applied; some people consider a cabbage loaf the best remedy. Oloths saturated with equal parts of water and harts- horn are usually n grateful remedy —the fact is that anything cooling to the surface diminishes the pain. It becomes more and more evi- dent each year that much of the iciness prevalent in the country is irectl attributable to the y b t quality f the water. By carefully study- ing the matter it is found that in nine cases out of ten typhoid fevers originate in families whose water supply is from a well into which impure water comes. This may be from the farm yard, and quite gen- erally such is the case. icor some years the water in a well near the house may be pure and wholesome but by and by the soil between it end the house will become so fm- pregnates with pollution that an I THE ` BR1JSSEL,S, POST The prophecy is that less jewelry will be wore on uudruss ocoasicus than ever.

The fainter who attempts to keep sheep and has no sheep dog ,ie in about ns bad a situation as the mar- iner who ventures to son without n compass. More sheep means more grain to tbe acre, better pastures and a larger pocket -book. Wool must be bad, and the demand for good mutton is on the increase. As a rule there is nothing ou the farm which pays better than a good flock of sheep. The hog is a grass eating animal. Some do not seem to realize this. Swine not only like grass, but they like hay ; and they not only like them, but they are good for them. The man who has never fed clover_ hay, to his swine has missed a great deal of profit. One of the principal causes of heaves iu horses is the feeding of dusty or dirty hay. Ordinary. clean hay can always bo fed with safety if properly cut up, moistened and mix• ed with ground grain ; but to feed the musty or dirty sorts is very in- jurious. Clover, owing to its liar Unity to crumble, often gets dirty, even after storage, and should never be fed without being previously moistened. The best fruit cellars are fitted up with drawers and bins in which to store the fruit. These are made with slatted bottoms, and shallow, so that the fruit need not bo etored in them over six Inches deep, and so that tbo air can circulate freely through them. This is not only favorable to the keeping qualities of the fruit, but enables it to be close- ly watched, and the decaying speci- mens to be the more easily and carefully picked out. 1 quality will bo imparted a it, and disease will result from is tufa.
