Nations that license murder for pay will be murdered for plunder, natious that fatten the wild beast of pasßion will be devoured by the wild beasts of rapine and ruin. The rum bole must be closed or the rum-hell will engulf Christendom. What shall be dofle with Christain rum, is the problem. W hat shall become of the Christain world? Answer it with license, or authorization, or temper ing politics, it is difficult. Strike it down, cage the beasts that vend the frenzy in the only place to which they belong, the criminal cell, and the kennel will disperse. There is but one remedy. The nation must put an end to transforming men into beasts by law, and must put the beast swbo do it into limbo, where their sorceries will cease. The answer we make to that question determines our fate. If Christianity has no power to save Christendom, where is our hope? With what face, then, can we go to the heathen? There is no devil-worship in Africa more degrad ed, more lost to all sense of shame than the demon worshipper of rum; no high priest of the sorceries ot heathenism more diabolized than the minions ot Christain Btates authoriz ed to manufacture and vend the poi son. Paganism can muster no mis creants from all her realms more de baaed than the rum army; no fester ng pesthouse—not even the Chinese opium den—more deadly to virtue than the ChriHtain rum hole. Must it be endured longer? Must the race be doomed to go into the fu ture with thin millstene fastened about its neck legislators of Chris tain states? Are our tyrants too much for us? Then farewell to hope. Brand "felon ram-seller" on bis brow; huddle him with co-fellows in the criminal's dock; drive him with the gang in striped garments. The business will then cease, and the earth will be delivered from his devilish sorceries. No man in his senses can say that there is any* otber remedy, or that this is too severe. All that is demanded is concert of action. It will come. It is at the door. There are men enough not hoplessly de bauched to vote such laws. They will unite and rid the land of thto foul monster, It lives, not because it cannot be put to death, but because we have not the will to strangle it Let Christendom arouse, and in a sin gle day of brave work the land will be freed of this vilest gang of crimin als that has ever cursed it, and the prisons will empty, and the slums will dry up, and the vicious classes will vanish, and the miseries of pov erty and wretchedness will cease. If a Christaiu nati aso will, it can be done in one day. If we will not, the Moloch will devour our homes and our children."— Bishop R. S. Foster, LL.D., M. E. Church. State Dues. In the March number of the White Ribbon, Mrs. Woods, State Treasu rer makes this appeal to all presidents of anions in regard to the State dues and the payment of the additional five cents, she says: I hope all presidents of Unions have read at their meetings Mrs Swift's "Official Letter," published in the January number of the White Rib bon, and thatjall will remember tbiriy cents, instead of twenty-five, should this year be paid to the State Treas urer for each member of a Union. This, you know, is to meet the re quirements of the National, which now asks from all the States ten cents a member, instead of five. We can pay this extra five cents to our Nation al,and pay it cheerfully, can we not? Five cents is not much when it comes from the individual member, but it will amount to quite a nice sum for the National Treasury where it is needed. The N. W. C. T. U. has branched out and taken up many lines of work. It is not to be expected that all this work could be carried on without an increase of funds, and sorely we should rejoice that the mo ney is needed, when it shows plainly the progress the cause is making. The May number contains the fol lowing: Dear Sisters : It becomes my du ty to again call your attention to the payment of State dues. Ido beg of you not to pu» it off until tho end of the year. Disbursements have keen larpe. We have used most of our balance from last year, and bat little of the dues for this year has been paid. I am sure you all want to keep the treasury well replenished, and just as sure that many of the Unions could pay their State dues now, or very soon, thought it was necessary to make the effort. It is easier to do the collecting now than to wait until the warm weather, and It will give you a great deal of satisfaction to know that this part of your wort is dons for the year. In collecting do nut forget that we now want to col ltci 62 instead of 60 cents from each member. Quite a number of counties have, at their county conventions, passed a resolution to collect 65 cents, and pay into the State treasurer 30 cents per member. I hope all coun ties will do this, and hope all also that all county officers will see that the reason for asking the live cents in advance, over other years, is un derstood by their Unions. I am al ways glad to answer questions. So, if any one wishes to know anything about the work that I can explain please write, and if I can answer' your question, I will. Sincerely voors, Mas, W. H. WOODS, Treasurer Parasites on Live Stock. At the end of winter, colts, calves, and older stock are very apt to be crowded with these objectionable parasites. They thrive best upon poor animals, and are supposed to be bred by old, worn out, aud misera ble creatures. However this may be therß is no doubt that they find a suitable home in the dirty matted hair in the late winter or early spring months, and on a sunny day may be seen literally in millions, every hair having nits upon it. One reason of so much rubbish accompanying them it that in the course of their develop ment from the egg to the mature louse the skin is cast several times. To get rid of them is not always easy, as the length of coat and ac cumulation of dandruif or scurf makes a waterproof covering that resists many remedies which in themselves are certain destroyers if only brought into contact with the parasites. A sunny day should be chosen, and the early part of it, when a bountiful washing with soft soap and hot water should be undertaken, so as to clear the skin of grease and dirt before ap plying the remedy. Stavesacre is an effectual destroyer of lice if prepared by boiling £ pound with a gallon of water and brushing well into the coat with a bard brush. Tobacco juice is also much in re quest for the purpose, and can be pro cured from druggists at a very low rate, as it is imported now free of duty, or only a nominal duty, and the'old expensive plan of boiling or infusing good shag tobacco is not necessary. By the way, yery few people avail themselves of the gov ernmental privileges of growing suf ficient tobacco for this and fumigat ing purposes, though they might easily do so. Paraffin is sometimes used, but is a very dangerous remedy, occasion ally being absorbed and causing the death of the animal, and not unfre quently causing a blister, and mnch unnecessary pain, and subsequent blemish. There is another kind of louse from which horses suffer, which if once seen, can never be forgotten— we refer to poultry lousiness. It will sometimes happen that a horse stabled with fowls will become affect ed and literally tear himself to pieces with them unless promptly treated with one of the forgoing remedies, either of which is as effectual against these as against the ordinary louse. In washing or applying any remedy, it should always be com menced near the eyes and worked backward, as if any other plau is adopted the besieged retreat into the mane and ears, and many escape al together, like the rats that are left just to keep up the breed after the rat catcher has gone. It is always well to repeat the dressing and keep the animals moving about till dry, or they may lick oh more lotion than is good for them, or stand about and get chilled —Chem ist and Druggist.

Thompson, young far mer, sat in the chambers of the Mun icipal court at Biddeford, Me , a few days ago, a prey to all the emotions that love and fear could arouse He was between the extremes of a terr ble dilemma. Either he had to expose the woman he loved to the world as a depraved adventuress or go to jail His case is one of the most remarka ble schemes ever attempted. Ella Waterhouse. a pretty slender buib girl of the blonde type presides over oue of the city echools. She met Thompson two years ago and he fell madly in love with her. He was a poor farmer and beside a few acres | had not a cent in the world. His at tentions became annoying to Miss Waterhouse, and in conjunction with Ler brother, Porrett Waterhouse, she determined to get rid of the trou blesome suiter and enrich themselves at his expense at the same time. Shortly after the opening of the term last fall Miss Waterhouse announced to the police that she was the victim of some scurrillious anonymous writ er, She proved that upon several occasions when she opened school in the morning she found the blackboard covered with the moet horribly ob scene passages and pictures and the school-house broken open. She also received letters of a similar nature through the mails. She charged Thompson with being her persecutor and his being seen haunting the school-house at unseemly hours led to his being arrested, and backed by her brother, who testified against Thomp son, she secured heayy damages. The poor victim was heart-broken at his idol's treatment, but tried hard to settle, refusing even to attempt an ap peal. He sold his farm and all he had, but could not raise the entire sum needed and pleaded hard for time. This was refused and the Wa terhousea insisted on his payment or imprisonment. This routed him, and soliciting the aid ot friends,detectives were put to work on the case, result ing in the .startling exposure of the conspirators' plans. The obscene letters wore all traced to Forrest Wa terhouse, who had imitated Thomp son's sty le of writing. Ho was prompt ly arrested and triei. The evidence created a great sensation, as it clearly showed that the school teacher not only composed the vile epistles her brother wrote but also may have done the Bcurilous drawings on the black board herself. Forest Waterhouse is badly scared at the sudden turn in thing, but his sister sat stoically through the whole proceedings. Poor Thompson cried bitterly when compel led to testify against Ella, who he still loves regardless of his treatment and wants to compromise the case to save her,but the state insists on sus taining the matter. The prisoners are highly connected. SSOO Reward.
