K-' The temperance party In New Zeland |? having, by the recent plebiscite closed so many drink shops and threatened the ' early extinction of every liquor saloon in the colony, now demand an amendment ;, to the licensing act, permitting prohibi- ;• tionby a bare majrrty of votes Owing to the strength if the temperance party, soch an enactment is spoken of as cer­ tain in the near future. Archdeacon Farrar, in the London Hu­ manitarian, gives these appalling facts in regard to the effects and prevalence of drunkenness in England: "The number of drunk and disorderly persons for 25. ^years is no fewer than 4,266,022, though not one in twenty oi the drunkards is ar­ rested. Pauperism has extended enor­ mously, and the chairman of the county board of guardians has never seen an abstainer come to the workhouse tor re­ lief. The same is true of fifteen other workhouses." WHEN YOU ARE STRONGEST. •• > v rrom ll:SO A. M. to 4:30 P. X. the Boat Time for Work. We may accept as a fact, says the Journal of Physiology, that there is a diurnal rise and fall in the power of doing voluntary muscular work, in the same way as there is a diurnal rise and fall in bodily temperature and pulse. It is remarkable, h6wever, that instead of the greatest amount of work being done, as might have been ex­ pected, on rising in the morning, after a good night's rest, it is found that at 9 a. m. the smallest amount of work is accomplished, the powers of doing muscular work in Dr. Harley's case in­ creasing each hoyr up to 11 a. m. Immediately after lunch there is a marked rise, followed an hour later by a fall, while again an hour later, or about 3 p.m., the amount of work ac­ complished reaches its maximum. Then, from some unexplained cause, there is a notable fall, at 4 p. m., which is succeeded by a rise at 5 p. m., after which a progressive fall takes place during each successive hour until dinner. Even during a prolonged fast more vaork was capable of being exe­ cuted from 11:30 a. m. to 4:30 p. m. than stDa. m. - xtsars- ; A Shower of Mltnr Clay. April 4, 1892, Marion county, la., and especially that portion of it contingent , to Knoxville, the county seat, was treated to a bath of thin, yellow mud. The cloud came up from the south- southeast. but did not appear to be the result of any unusual meteorological disturbance. The barometer did not Vindicate cyclonic conditions and the great mud vehicle which rolled across the ridge which separates English and Whitebreast creeks was unaccompanied by either wind, thunder or lightning. In some places in the county thin, sticky clay covered everything to the depth of about one-tenth of an inch, making a general cleaning up neces­ sary after the "shower" was over. The Knoxville Journal of April 6, two days after the mud shower, contained the following among its locals: "We had a regular mud shower here Monday morning, the mud falling a few min­ utes only, but while it lasted it literally plastered the south side of buildings and covered the windows and the peo­ ple upon the streets with a coat of thin, yellow clay."
