Society for the Promotion of Temperance was inaugurated in Boston in
February, 1826, and rapidly grew into an extensive organization, having
increased in three years to 11 State associations and 1,000 local societies.
About this time the name tee-total came into use, having originated from
the vain attempt of a stuttering reformed Englishman to pronounce the word
“total.” In 1840 the Washingtonian Society was formed by six drunkards in
the city of Baltimore, who resolved to avoid their cups and reform their
associates. In five years its pledge had been signed by 650,000 persons,
most of whom had been tipplers or downright drunkards. Other societies
were soon formed; the Sons of Temperance in New York, in 1842; the
Order of Templars of Honor and Temperance in 1845; and the Good
Templars in 1851. Since the war many local societies have been formed,
and the Murphy movement has extended all over the country.
PAUL PRY.
C , Ill.
Who was the author of Paul Pry and who was the original of
the character?
I .
Answer.—The author was John Poole, an English dramatist, born in
1785. He was remarkably successful in the production of light drama,
including some roaring farces, of which the most conspicuous was “Paul
Pry;” “Hamlet Travestie,” with burlesque annotations; “Deaf as a Post;”
“Turning the Tables,” and “The Wife’s Stratagem,” adapted from Shirley. It
was long believed that Thomas Hill, the eccentric editor of the Dramatic
Mirror, was the original of Poole’s Paul Pry, but Poole himself contradicts
this notion in a biographical sketch of himself that appeared a few years
before his death, which occurred in London, Feb. 5, 1872. In this sketch he
says: “The character of Paul Pry was suggested by the following anecdote,
related to me several years ago by a beloved friend: An idle old lady, living
in a narrow street, had passed so much of her time in watching the affairs of
her neighbors that she at length knew the sound of each particular knocker
within hearing, and could tell to which house it belonged. It happened that
she fell ill, and was for several days confined to her bed. Unable to observe
in person what was going on outside, she stationed her maid at the window
as her substitute for the performance of that task. But Betty soon grew
weary of the occupation; she became careless in her reports, impatient and
tetchy when reprimanded for her negligence. ‘Betty, what are you thinking
about? Don’t you hear a double knock at No. 9? Who is it?’ ‘The first floor
lodger, ma’am.’ ‘Betty! Betty! I declare I must give you warning. Why
don’t you tell me what that knock is at No. 24?’ ‘Why, Lord, ma’am, it is
only the baker with pies.’ ‘Pies! Betty? What can they want with pies at No.
24? They had pies yesterday!’ Of this very point I have availed myself. Let
me add that Paul Pry was never intended as the representative of any one
individual, but of a class. Like the melancholy of Jacques, he ‘is
compounded of many samples,’ and I could mention five or six who were
unconscious contributors to the character. That it should have been so often,
though erroneously, supposed to have been drawn after some particular
person is perhaps complimentary to the general truth of the delineation.
With respect to the play generally, I may say that it is original; it is original
in structure, plot, character, and dialogue—such as they are. The only
imitation I am aware of is to be found in part of the business in which Mrs.
Subtle is engaged; while writing those scenes I had strongly in my
recollection Collin d’Harleville’s ‘Vieux Celibataire.’ But even the little I
have adopted is considerably altered and modified by the necessity of
adapting it to the exigencies of a different plot.”

SLAVERY IN CUBA.
G , Texas.
What is the condition of slavery in Cuba, and in what time
will emancipation be complete?
S .
Answer.—According to a Cuban law, passed by the Spanish Cortes in
1870, all persons who should be born after June 23, 1870, and all who
should attain the age of 60, should be free after June 23, 1870. This
enactment, however, was evaded to a considerable extent. The plantations
were supplied not only with negro but also with Chinese coolies, who were
subjected to even greater servitude. In November, 1879, a new bill was
passed by the Spanish Cortes, which provided that all slaves from 55
upward should become free; that slaves from 50 to 55 should be liberated
Sept. 17, 1880; from 45 to 50, September, 1882; from 40 to 45, in 1884;
from 35 to 40, in 1886; from 30 to 35, in 1888, and those under 30 in 1890.
The bill also provided that the sum of 100,000 piastres should be set apart
annually for defraying the expenses of the emancipation, the owner to
receive 350 piastres for each slave. This bill has gone into effect and is
being generally observed, although there is still some complaint of its
violation.
WASHINGTON TERRITORY.
M , Iowa.
Please give a few facts concerning the climate, soil, and
products of Washington Territory.
W. C .
Answer.—The Cascade range of mountains extends north and south
through Washington Territory, dividing it into two unequal parts, which
differ somewhat as to their climate and soil. West of the mountains the
climate is very moderate. The inhabitants do not suffer either from extreme
heat or extreme cold, the annual range of the thermometer being from zero
to 85 degrees. The rainy season lasts three months in winter, during which
the inhabitants suffer no great discomfort. The soil on the river bottoms is a
very rich alluvium. The uplands have a clay loam, but considerable tracts
are sandy soil. About Puget Sound forests of fir and cedar extend up to the
summits of the mountains, while in the river bottoms may be found the
vine-maple, alder, and crab tree. Grain of all kinds, nutritious grasses, hops,
fruit, and vegetables grow abundantly. East of the Cascades the climate is a
little drier, and the summer and winter heat a little more extreme. The soil is
whiter than that of the Mississippi Valley, being highly charged with
alkaline deposits. Herding now is the chief occupation of the settlers,
though it is expected that when the Northern Pacific Railway is completed
agriculture will become more prominent. Fruitful orchards, surrounded by
fields of wheat, oats, barley, and rye are not at all uncommon.
WEATHER SIGNS.
A , Ill.
Now that Vennor and the Signal Service, or “Old
Probabilities,” are engrossing so much of the public attention,
we are in danger of forgetting the old weather proverbs. Cannot
Our Curiosity Shop call to mind a few of these, and let its
readers test them alongside of the prognostications of Tice,
Vennor & Co.
C R .
Answer.—The editor of Our Curiosity Shop is neither a prophet nor the
son of a prophet. The best he can do to meet this demand is to give the
following quotations from a lecture on “Weather Prognostics”, delivered by
Mr. William Marriott, before the Meteorological Society of England:

TRADES UNIONS.
J , Ill.
Please give us information as to the origin, object, and extent
of trades unions.
W. A. L .
Answer.—The various trade societies are the outgrowth of the old English
guilds, which originated in the beginning of the eleventh century, and had
for their prime object the relief or support of infirm guild-brothers, the
burial of the dead with proper religious services, etc. In time, however,
these organizations became better classified and more exclusive. One guild
was confined to the merchants, another to the woolen manufacturers,
another to the cutlery manufacturers, etc.: the objects, at the same time,
becoming more comprehensive. In order to secure skilled workmen and
prevent competition with the inexperienced, the craftsmen secured the
passage of apprenticeship laws. In the case of woolen and several other
trades apprentices were required to serve manufacturers seven years.
Employers and employes were then united in these efforts, but, finally, as
the manufacturing industries became more profitable and improved, and
machinery was introduced, the rich masters withdrew from the craftguilds,
and began to hire children and men who had not served a complete
apprenticeship. This action on the part of the employers caused the first
“trade society” to be formed, in 1796, called the Institution, which had for
its object the protection of its members against the encroachments of
capitalists, and to secure the passage of stricter apprenticeship laws. Since
that time the trades unions have increased in number and membership, until
they include nearly all the craftsmen of England, and from protective
associations they have grown into societies for the general improvement of
the laboring classes. To its efforts mainly are due the passage of the eight-
hour law of Great Britain and the statute granting the Saturday half-holiday.
In the United States similar organizations are found, to which, especially in
large cities, nearly all the workmen belong.
DESCRIPTION OF A CREAMERY.
F D , Iowa.
The farmers of this section of the country need to know what
a good creamery is. Tell us what the inside of a really good
creamery looks like.
M R .
Answer.—A Chicago inquirer says: “Oblige butter and cheese consumers
with a description of a first-class creamery. Some of us have a very vague
notion of such an establishment.—E. D. Smith.” Another inquiry comes
from Neligh, Neb. So some care has been taken to obtain a description of a
thoroughly well-constructed factory of this kind. This is the more important
as the dairy business of the West is growing with wonderful rapidity, and
nothing has done more to develop this industry than the recent introduction
of creameries. The term creamery was formerly applied to an establishment
fitted up expressly for the purpose of manufacturing butter, but now the
name is given to factories where both butter and cheese are made. Milk is
brought in spring wagons from dairy-farms for a distance of six miles or
less, and cream is gathered anywhere within a radius of fifteen miles to be
manufactured into butter and cheese. This product thus handled in larger
quantities, in a scientific manner, with effective labor-saving machinery and
proper surroundings, makes it possible to obtain the best results, and such
product is always marketable at prices much higher than dairy butter. The
factory of the Aurora Creamery Company, built at Aurora, Ill., about a year
ago is generally regarded as a model establishment, and will furnish an
example for this description. To operate a creamery successfully two things
are absolutely necessary, viz., a good spring of living water of low
temperature, say 50 to 54 deg., and good drainage; without these features
there is no prospect of permanent success in the undertaking. The factory
named has a spring located about 200 feet off which discharges, both winter
and summer, 750 gallons of pure water per hour, temperature 52 deg., with
5 feet 9 inches fall, while drainage is supplied by a 2-foot square stone
sewer which empties into the river, through which a slough is drained, and
into which there is a 5-foot fall from the factory. The main building is of
brick with a 12-inch wall: size, 32 × 70, 20 feet high; right wing, 20 × 24;
left wing, 18 × 24, and rear extension, 18 × 26. The room in which the
cheese is manufactured is 30 × 40. It contains a fine upright 9-horse-power
engine, a Wir’s self-agitating rotary cheese vat with a capacity for 12,000
pounds of milk and a gang cheese press. The butter room, 30 × 30 feet,
contains one churn with a capacity of 400 gallons, and one with a capacity
of 150 gallons, a power butter worker, sink with steam pipes to scald, and
revolving brush for washing cans, 3 cream vats 300 gallons each, a
receiving vat into which the milk is strained, and from which it is drawn
into deep pails, or sets, which are placed in three cemented water vats of
capacity sufficient to cool 20,000 pounds of milk daily. The left wing of the
factory contains a 16-horse power boiler, which furnishes steam to run the
machinery and heat the building; a seventy-barrel water tank, which is
placed over the boiler; a Davidson steam pump and coal bin which will
store fifty tons of coal. An improvement which, it is claimed, is found in no
other factory, is an elevated “whey vat” placed over the boiler-room, into
which the whey is raised by a rotary pump, and from which the farmers
draw their supply of whey to be carried into the country. When all that is
wanted has been drawn out a gate is opened, and the balance is run into the
river, after which the tank is scalded out and kept sweet and clean. This is a
vast improvement over the pestilence breeding arrangement which is sunk
in the ground, and is located near the butter and cheese rooms of most other
factories. The right wing of the factory contains a driveway, a receiving-
room, weighing platform, and stairway to office. The extension holds 150
tons of ice, and contains a refrigerator with a capacity of 30,000 pounds of
butter. In the second story is a neat office, store-rooms, and curing room, to
which the cheese are raised by an elevator. The lower floors are made of 2 ×
6 joists, dressed and matched and imbedded in cement; under which is a
four-inch coating of grout, so that there is no possible chance for the milk to
leak through the floor and produce the sickening stench which is so
common in many factories. Special attention has been given to ventilation
in every part of the building and the whole establishment has the
appearance in neatness of a tidy farmhouse kitchen. The sum of $10,000
was expended in real estate, buildings, and fixtures of this factory, but a
good creamery with a comfortable outfit of medium capacity could be put
up for much less money. The machinery for churning and working the
butter is as simple as it is ingenious. The churn is a great square chest
revolving on an axis running through its longest diameter; the butter-
workers are fluted wooden cones running around a circular disk inclined at
an angle to the horizon, so that the buttermilk runs off as fast as it is
expressed. The apparatus for stirring the cheese curd and pressing the
cheese, and a score of other nicely contrived instruments, operate with the
uniformity and precision of clock work.
