When plants are wounded their respiration increases and their tem perature perceptibly rises. in recent experiments a thermo electric apparatus, capable of regis tering a change of one four-hun dredth of a degree, was employed. When a potato was wounded the fe ver manifested itself by an elevation of temperature which was greatest at the end of twenty-four hours, when it began slowly to decline. An onion similarly treated ac quired an increase of temperature many times greater than that shown by the potato, and the fever, instead of being confined to the neighborhood of the wound, affected the entire on ion. In fact, the onion proved to be more readily affected in this way than any other vegetable experiment ed with. The rise in temperature is caused by increased absorption of oxygen.— Portland Journal. can be folded over to be rigidly con nected to the plate.

The peculiar shape of the frame affords just the right surface for rub bing and polishing any object. At tached to the device is a handle, for easy manipulation. — Washington Scar. Baps In the Composing Boom. The editor of the Concordia (Kan.) paper has a wooden leg. He wrote and printed this paragraph: The town has been infested lately with a ounch of beggars. One young fellow, big enough and strong enough to hold a breaking plow in a patch of hazel brush stubble, asked for cash simply on the ground that he was a deaf mute. What is to stop a deaf mute from working and earning his own living? Another young fel low struck this office for help and all that was the matter with him was that he had a leg cut off below the knee—-what is to stop him from earning a living at a score of differ ent honorable avocations? The boys j in the hark end of this printing shack always enjoy the fun when a one-legged beggar comes in the front i door to strike \the old man\ for a ! contribution. Early Days of Famous Composer. Signor Puccini, who has come to London for change of air and scene, told a representative of the Chron icle that when he was writing Ills first, opera, \Le Villi,\ he lived for months on credit at a little restau rant called the Aida, in a slum in Milan. \My dinner usually consisted of a piece of badly cooked meat and a cup of more or less sour wine. 1 van still recall in the half ashamed man ner In which 1 used to tell the waiter to chalk up the bill, and then l sneaked otlt of the place because I had no money for a tip.

Six-year-old Dick was preparing, much against his own sweet will, to go calling with his mother. It was the first time that Dick had been allowed to get himself ready alone, and, together with boyish disgust at being obliged to go visiting, he felt the importune- of the situation. After having put on his hat and coat he suddenly remembered som e thing and called downstairs, “Mother, shall I wash my hands or wear gloves? \— Harpe\\s Monthly. Mislaid the Pudding.

Subject: The Sin of Nadali and i Ablhu, Lev. 10:1-11 — Golden Text, Pit iv. :JO:l — Memory Verse, H. Nadab and Abihu furnish the groundwork for the temperance les son of the day. Evidently they were drunk when they went to perform their usual duties before the altar. At least it would so appear since immediately following the recital of I heir foolish actions and grievous dis obedience to the commands of God we have the record that the Lord specifically commanded Aaron and his other sons that they should re frain from following after strong drink. What God expected of Aaron as a priest He expects of every one of us | as His children, especially of those of us who are sealed to Him in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. For, as the | Proverb says, \wine is a mocker.\ i It Is a sign not of a man's sense hut. I of his lack of it when he fools with | liquor. It not only makes fools of ' men but it makes beasts of them. ! It not only makes monkeys of them, but It also makes raging, vicious brutes of them. It is a delusion and a snare. it. was a good thing for Aaron and his sons to let the sort of wine, they used in thetf day alone, it is certainly wise that we should let the stuff that is sold to-day aione. If the wine of Israel could make idiots of the priests of the tabernacle no man can accurately predict what the alcoholic drinks of to-day will do with men. For the likelihood is that l the wine of that primitive lime as used by the priesthood was as good ^ as can be procured. But the vile i v stuff that is sold to-day is generally as bad as can be procured. The aver age man to-day when he does bqy wine, or beer, or liquors of any sort cannot even be certain that he is purchasing whal he wants. Much of the alcoholic drinks that are served . to the public to-day is poisou flaunt- j ing itself under the black flag of sub- i terfuge. But whether they he pure or pois- . onous alcoholic beverages had best j be left alone. No man can afford to i fool with them. We see daily in- i stances of the folly of even strong, j intelligent, moral men tampering | with liquor. It is as sensible to tam- | per with liquor as it is to tease a rat- I tlesnake. Statistics will never record ; the number of—the bright, indus trious, brainy, useful men who tam pered with liquor and met defeat. God alone knows the awful list of those who have gone down into Hie drunkard's grave because they felt competent to curb and control about, as fierce a monster as ever mastered i man. Alcohol as a beverage is a fraud. It is even questionable whether it is useful as a medicine. ! For its chief medicinal value is as a i preservative and solvent. Its nutri tive value is so negligible as to be ! I easily dispensed with, aud as easily ; replaced. As a stimulant it is a | sham. For its retroactive properties I ' are too thoroughly pronounced. There is nothing whatever to be i gained by the use of alcohol as a ! beverage. First of all b is au un- ; i natural acquirement. Water is the 1 natural beverage. Water slakes and satisfies the thirst. Alcohol in- , tensities and excites the thirst. It creates an abnormal desire. It is un satisfying. Secondly, alcohol is ex pensive. None of us though he have the riches of Rockefeller is rich enough to spend a dollar on alcohol ic drinks. And the poorer we are the more we need the money for valid i necessities. The man who has money to spend i*n drinks had better spend the money on his family, charity, or i himself. For practically all the money spent on liquor is an econom- i ic loss. Alcohol as a beverage takes the money of the drinker without af fording society commensurate re turn. In the mensi re that its return j is incommensurate it is an economic | loss. Thirdly, alcohol as a beverage , is dangerous. It is the hand maiden of hell. It is the devil's hangman. . The strange thing is that, while I the Church of Jesus Christ and ihe courts of the land recognize that the beverage liquor traffic is at the source of the vilest and most hope less miseries of this country to-day, j the church takes no more decided and defiant and aggressive attitude against it than she does and the courts of the land permit it to exist | in open defiance of the unconstitu- | tional guarantees to the public at 1 large of undisturbed and equal op- ; portunity to pursue a peaceful exis- | I tence in liberty and happiness before I the law. The strange thing is that j it is so unpopular even in the church i i to arraign the citizenship that, pal- j j Hates and endorses and permits the i saloon to exist for a consideration - i even the Christian citizenship of I America. The strange thing is that ! the courts permit such a business to ! exist. For every child of a drunken , father is denied the elemental oppor tunity for wholesome life, liberty and | happiness that makes ns equal he- | fore the law. Every child born out of drunken wedlock is handicapped Inevitably In the race of life. Every , weak willed sot is aided on towards misery and sorrow b; the consent of the State. Every mother in a halt furnished home, deprived of the nec essaries of life, is a standing argu- ; ment fo,r the intervention of «hr* church and State, You can't make j mon moral by law, to be sure.
