The Life of l'eacli Trees, It is an almost universal complaint that peach trees do not last as long as they used to do. We do not believo that this is ou account of the weather, because late winters ccrtaiuly have not been so destructive as many that occurred thirty to forty years ago. The increase of borers and of fungous diseases, in which we include the yel lows, are, wo think, mainly responsi ble for the change. By keeping borers out aud dressing heavily with potash manures, peach trees may be made much longer lived than they used to be. One of the secrets of tho ougevityof old-tiiuo peach trees was that they were never severely pruned, and never produced heavy crops, Tho old-time thirty-year-old peach trees bad a tall trunk with very little top, Boston Cultivator. The (.larilolue. What the geranium is to the living room window-garden, the gladiolus is to the outdoor garden. Such a display as I have had of this flower this sea son! I planted several hundred bulbs among tho border plants, and for a month past people have been stop ping to stare at aud admire my free flower show. And it has been worth coming a long way to see, I assure yon! It seems as if every bulb has put up from two to four flower stalks, aud such colors! Scarlets, crimsous, pinks, lilacs, mauves, cherries, car mines, violets, yellows, in endless shades and combinations. No two stalks seem to give flowers alike. I cau't help wondering if the milliners did not get some ideas here for their daring color combinations for hats and bonnets. No two plants were just alike as to flower, it seemed. Ave cut the great stalks laden with gorgeous bloom for tall vases in the house, for church decoration, and for gifts to friends, but the supply seemed inex haustible. Ebeu E. llexford, in How to Grow Flowers. Ventilating a Barn llaseuient. Luther Hoffman, of New Jersey, writes: I have a basement that covers 32x85 feet. This winter I have forty eight head of cows in it that I am milking and feodiug. I have no trou ble concerning ventilation. Basement is eight feet high. The north side is banked nearly to top of wall. There are two driveways aud at the end of each I have small windows which I can drop from the top. When I laid the foundation I used three-inch round tile pipe every six to eight feet just under the sill. These need not be closed except in case of a blizzard. On the west end there are large win dows, but I beldoni open them, the pipes furnishing enough air. Ou the south I have double sash windows. The top sash is hung with weights so I can drop them from one inch to two feet, according to the weather. The front is all windows except the space occupied by doors. I also have three liny chutes, which ex tend from stables out through the roof. These I open or close according to weather. Who cattle can be out all day, I often leave all ventilators open and sprinkle the wet spots with fresh slaked lime. The Bell Glass In tlie Garden. The advantage gained by the use of bell glasses over melon and cucumber vines is gradually gainiug recognition in this country, where it bids fair to be of greater service even than in foreign countries where it has long been practiced. To ripeu a musk melon in August iu oar northern states is a feat not often accomplished, or even in early September. How ever this has and can be done if na ture is thus assisted: A twelve-inch bell glass placed directly over the hill at planting time has a two-fold advan tage; that of hastening germination and preventing the rotting of seeds in rainy weather. As soon as the seed lings appear the glass must bo raised gradually; those which I have in mind ultimately resting upon common bricks turned on edges. These form an excellent support. Three bricks to a glass leave ample space for the vines to run out a privilege quickly availed of. Dnily watering is of course iu order save in cloudy weather. An idea of the difference in growth may perhaps be best obtained by notes taken Jnly 15, '?7. Side by side are four hills jf cucumbers planted on the n.i'iio 1ate. Twulve iuca bell glasses were placed ovev two of the hills aud gradually raised as described. A growth of two feet only had beeu made by the open air plants against live in the glass capped bills. With such strong sun-stored root-growtb melons can but Bteal a march on the ordinury cantaloupe calendar. Other glass devices may perhaps be less ex pensive and answer the purpose as well. G. A. Woolson, of Vermont. Change, of Te in pern t tire. Scientists and all observing persons are interested iu the statement that the climate of France is quite rapidly growing colder. For some timo this was disputed, but a careful examina tion of the conditions of vegetation appears to confirm the idea beyond the shadow of a doubt. Certain trees and shrubs that a few years ago flour ished luxuriantly are gradually dvine out, aud iu some localities have dis appeared altogether. Lemons form erly flourished in Languedbc and or anges in Ilo'issillou, but these have altogether disappeared, as have manv indigenous plauts that at one time grew iu the more northerly districts.

THE DRINK IN EVIL MADE MANIFEST MANY WAYS. The Keren Stages of Rain The Cnanswer able Reason Why the Atlowanoe of lirog to the Bluejackets In Our Kavy Was Discontinued. All the world's a tavern, And all the men and women merely drink ers; They bave their cocktails and their whisky strniKht. And one man In his time drinks many iuarts. His course being seven stages. At first a clear head, Sober and steadfast ia all good resolves; And then tho morning bitters, with cherry red And slice ot mellow pine, creeping like snail L'nwIllinKly to work. And then the tippler. Sneaking back agnin, with a woful story About pains internally. Then a toper, Full of strnugo oaths and loaded to the guard. Jealous In plotting, sodden, and quick to imbluc. Seeking the bubbling repetition Even nt the bottle's mouth. And then the drunkard. In grumbling belly with poor liquor lined, With eves bleary and benrd for uays uncut, Full of rash words and prone to' quarrel- And so he plays his part. The sixth stage snirts Into the grim and ragged roustabout. witn carbuncles on uosj ana patch on bend, His shrunken face unshavod, while bar to bar He beats his way; and his once manly voice, Unhinged by sloth and thirst colossal, pleads And whimpers for a drink. Last scene of ail. That ends this sad and shameful history, Is beastly sotlishness and foul oblivion Bans rum, sans beer, sans pipe, sans every thing. John W. Tostgate. Temperance in the Navy. Now that the cotirso of events has brought Into prominence the ships of our navy and the sailors who man them, It will be Interesting to know that the prac tice of serving out a ration of liquor dally to United States man-of-war's mon was discontinued many years ago. It was found to be a bad scheme, for while many of the men used the rum In moderation, the ration of liquor only served to stimu late an appetite for more, among a great number of the bluejackets. When this fact was satisfactorily proven, the serving out of "grog" to United Htntes man-of-war's men was discontinued. Sailors in all other of the world's great navies still receive their dally "grog." though temperance reforms in Great Britain have been for many years working to put a stop to its distribution on the ships of her Brltanlo Majesty, It Is claimed thut much Injury Is done to the apprentices aboard the ships by creating the appetite for liquor, among them, and this claim is not with out foundation, for the lads get the same amount ot rum from the boatswain as the oldest sailor. Auother reason for discon tinuing this practice Is now being consid ered by the British admiralty office. It seems that British bluejackets have, many of them, got Into the habit of accumu lating their grog, Instead ot drinking It as it Is served out. When they bave aggre gated a large quantity, they enter on a debauch for one or two days, and gener ally wind up In the "brig" In double Irons for sobering-up purposes. It Is consid ered probable that grog, as a part of the British naval rations, will soon be cut out for this reason. It Is gratifying to know that the temptation has been removed from the men of our navy, and that the navy of another nation may soon be free of It also. The Drunkard. Under the above caption a recent number of the New York Independent has an article from which we make the following ex tracts: "That the drunkard should destroy his own body and consume It In the fires of alcohol Is bad enough, but the cruelest side of the picture is the suffering he causes other innocent people. Heartbroken fath ers, and weeping mothers, and wives whose lives are one protracted tragedy, could alone adequately describe the needles misery. "But the saddest phase ot the drunkard's career Is found In tne legacy he bequeaths to posterity Idiocy, hysteria. eDilonsv and Insanity. That a 'drunken fnther has a drunken son' is as old as Plutarch; but the more comprehensive denunciation ot the Scriptures, 'The sins of the fathers are visited npon the children to the third and fourth generations' ts but a common-Dlace observation of all our Insane nnd Inebriate asylum superintendents. Doctor S. O. How reported to the Massachusetts legis lature that of 300 Idiots whose parentage had been traced 117 were found to be the children of drunkards. Doctor Wilson gives the statistics of one family where all the seven children of intemperate parents were either Insane, epileptic or criminals. one woman having been arrested forty-two times for criminal actions. "And one of the saddest features in the matter Is that the deterioration ot the ner vous tissue not only makes the child an easy prey to the desire for alcohol, but possibly skips one generation to break ou in the third." Testimony of a Governor. In a communication recently sent bv Governor Woloott to the oollce com mis. sioners of Boston regarding the number of drinklng-places, the following significant passage occurs: "I bave for years felt that the number of saloons In the immedi ate proximity of some of the principal railroad stations Is excessive, and tends to maite tne approacnes thereto disagreeable to respectable citizens, especially to women and children, nnd to place an extraor dinary degree of temptation in the way of the weak. I should personally reirret to see the Immediate neighborhood of the new station reduced to the conditions whteh bare surrounded some of the older ones which are now displaced." Shafts Shot at the Demon Drink. Plenty of beer In the summer menus ltttl Are in the winter. Chicago, it Is said, snonds annuallv for beer 23,000,000. 'What maintains one vice would brlno up two children." Benjamin Franklin. Some babies are brouuht nn on the W. tie, and a good many men nro brought down by It. There is nothing elevating or roflnlng about drink or drinking places; their whole tendency Is downward. "In the bottle discontent seeks for com fort, cowardice for courage, and bashful ness for confidence. "Johnson, The man who gets drunk without suffer ing injury is not over-burdened with brains. Drink neither wine nor strong drink, so long as by it you make weak or cause to stumble, sud tempt into ruin or misory the soul of a brother. "A drunken man Is like a drowned man, a fool and a madman; one draught above heat makes him a fool; the second mads him, nnd a third drowns him." Shake speare. There are quite a number of people who will now begin to drink intoxi. cants for spring medicine. Those are the same people who in the other tlireo seasons of the year do not fall to find excuses for thoir inclination to drink. Miss Wlllnrd, when asked once what is the greatest need in the temperance cause, replied that it Is to "keep pounding on the nail." "I have no new revelation," she said. "I know of no magical method but hard, honest work." "If there be n niuiuu inat exports its beef and linen to pay for tire importation of claret nnd porter, while a great part of its people live on potatoes and wear no shirts, wherein does it differ from the sot who lets bis family starve, end sells bit clothes to buy drink?" Franklin. Ab3olute security from the drink hnblt is found in total abstinence. He who per mits asingle link of the tyrant's shackles to become fastened npon htm Is still a slave, on whom more links are fastened with nn ease that gives no warning until the man Is a helpless prisoner. An Ancient Custom. From Republican Travtitr, Arkanta$ A'aa. City, Pilgrimages to some shrine of St, Vitus to cure the disease known as St. Vitus' dance are no longer made. The modern way of treating this affliction Is within reach ot every household, as Is shown by the experience of Karl A. Wagner, the eleven-year-old son ot Oeorge Wagner, ol ois xtit St., Arkansas city, Kan. The fath er tells the story as follows: "Over a yeRr ago," he says, "Karl wai taken with St. Vitus' dance and continued to grow worse during five months he wai under n physician's care. His tongue be came paralysed and we could not under stand a word ho said, lie became very thin, lost the use ot his right leg aud seemed doomed to become a hopeless in valid. We had about given up hope when Dr. Williams' rink Pills for Pale Teople wore recommended to my wife by a lady whose daughter had beeu cured of simi lar affliction by the pills. "I bought a box ot them at once and soot noticed a change for the better iu Karl's con dition.

One cited the case of an artist who is afflicted with palsy so badly that he cannot convey his food or driuk to his mouth unaided. And yet this man with pallet aud brush iu band can paint as well as ever he could. Before bis brush touches the canvas his hand trembles violently, but the moment he feels the brush touch his picture his stroke becomes firm and strong aud just what he de sires it to be. Almost a 'parallel case is that of veteran soldier well known in Kansas City, "Peg Leg" Smith. Smith ia now in the Soldiers' Home in "Leaven worth. When in Kansas City he used to run a cigar wheel at the city hall square. Smith comes to Kansas City fre quently, and when here likes to go to a shooting gallery on Walnut street aud shoot at the targets. He is a good shot and enjoys looking along a rifle barrel. Smith has the palsy in an alarming degree. When he raises the rifle and aims it at the target it jerks around in such a lively manner that one would wager he could not hit the side of a house. But just as he is about to pull the trigger bis band steadies aud the next instant the bell rings. The palsied man has hit the bull's eye Kansas City Star. ' Lawrence's Immortal Cry. "Don't give up the ship," the dying words of Commodore Lawrence, the heroio commander of the Chesapeake, are among the very noblest ever ut tered. They will Jive as longas ocean rolls or gallant ship floats. The gal lout Perry flew that signal at bis masthead in the memorable battle of Lake Erie, at the glorious close of which he had the inspiration to pen that dispatch which has canonized him iu our history: "We bave met the enemy and they are ours." It was. written on his stiff bat in lieu of a table, on the half of an old letter, and the additional information in it gave the size aud number of the enemy, namely, "two ships, two brigs, one schooner aud ono sloop." Perry was a bero in peace as well as in war. During a fearful wiuter storm, while lying in the harbor of Newport, he heard that a merchant vessel bad been driven on rcer six miles distant. Ho at once manned his barge and said to the crew: "Come, my boys, are going to the relief of shipwrecktr2v men; pull away." That act was ap-' plauded by the country almost as much as the battle on Lnko Erie. During the Mexican war General Scott re quested the loan of some guns from the fleet, to be use 1 on shore. Perry complied, but ou one condition that "wherever the guns go the offioers and men must go also." Books on High Shelves. To put a book in a bookcase on a shelf over six feet from the gronnd means that you will have to climb for it. ith the common, close-shuttiug- np tepladder this may mean only slight expenditure of labor, but the trouble the getting of the book may require is not the most serious one. One should never put a book up high if it has a nice binding, because, as the heat rises, the leather ot the book will dry up, rot, and perish. Gas light, which throws off its snlphureted hydrogen, aud the ordinary kerosene lamp are mortal enemies of all bonnd books which stand ou a high shelf. Then, again, the finer particles of dust rise, lodge, and stick to the book. Nice gildiug becomes obliterated. The mortal foe of a book is, then, a high shelf. A Hint at Breakfast. "How absurd!" she said asshepul down the article descriptive of a naval battle and went on with the work that nai irauy ians to tne lot ol a woman who keeps a boarding house. "What's absurd?" "Why, one part of this article tell how to repel boarders. But who wants to repel them as long as they pay up every week?" Chicago Post. At a recent Western wedding the wedding march was whistled by twelv girl lriends of the bride. Haymaking- la India. At Allahabad eight cuttings of grasi are taken during the season, which begins early in the monsoon, and lasts, say, from the middle of June to the middle of March. From manured land the total weight varies from fif teen to forty tons per acre, according to the quality of the soil and the num ber of years whicb have elapsed since the manure was applied. The jhabau, a native hook which resembles a scythe blade, is preferred to the grass mower drawn by bullocks, as the clean cut of former is less injurious to the grass stubble than tho clippiug action of the latter, which reduces the number of cuttings from eight to two. On poor, uuraannred land only one crop cau be cut for hay In October. The haymaking season begins in the middle of September. It is im possible to make good hay beforo this time, for, even in periods wbeu there in no rain, the ground is so wet that moisture is drawn up by the bar. which, quite independently of this circumstance, does .not dry properly in the humid atmosphere. There are forty-eight good species of natural grasses, some of which are as valuable as any British grass, and frequent cutting develops a fine quality of pro duce. liiackwell a AlAgazino, The President's War Map. Not many of the President' visitors are admitted to the war room. Those who are thus favored see something novel in the way of war planniug.

She says: " I never can find words with which to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound has done tor me. Some years ago I had womb trouble and doctored for a long time, not see ing any improvement. At times I would feel well Plough, end other times was miserable. So it went on until last October, I felt something terrible creeping over me, I knew not what, but kept getting worse. I can hardly explain my feelings at that time. I was so depressed in spirits that I did not wish to live, although I had everything to live for. Had hys teria, was very nervous; could not 6leep and was not safe to be left alone. " Indeed, I thought I would lose my mind. No one knows what I endured. ' 1 continued this way until the last of February, when I saw in a paper a testimonial of a lady whose case was similar to mine, and who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegeta ble Compound. I determined to try It, and felt better after the first dose. I continued taking it, and to-day am a well woman, and can say from my heart, Thank God for auch a medi cine.'"
