AxeruER Cause roR pRUNKExx,s

CHARLES KINGSLEY says that the craylpc
for drink and narcotics, especially in crowded
cities, is not disease but a symptom OF dis
ease-"of far deeper diseaie Than any whirh
drunkenness can produce, namely. of The
growing degeneracy of a population, striving
in vain, by stimulents and narcotics, to fiobt
against those SLOW posions with which Our
greedy barbarism, miscaled civilization, has
surrounded them from the cradle to the grave. +"
The remedy which Mr. Kingsley suggests is,
for physical evils improved sanitary regula.
tons and customs. Another cause of.intem
perance is overwork. I'm the heavy struggle
for existence which goes on ali around US
each man is tasked more and more ali day
long" Exhausted nature seeks stimuli ants2
not merely to supply exhaus ion or drive away
care-often simply to drive away dullnesc
Another cause is found in the abundance
of money in some peoples hands. Without
legitimate resources for recreation, men fall
back upon sensual qualification. The remedy
for this is mental cultivation. How to stay
the demands Of overwork and competition. or
to abate the struggle for existence, Mr.. Kings.

fancy devise anypublic measure for relief. But
each individual may gauge his own strength,
and refuses to supplement it by any delusiye

There is a prospect of a short ice
crop and consequent advance in pri-
ces. Until the thaw of the past few
days, there was still fair chance of a
good crop, but the prospect appears
now to be somewhat slim. At any
rate the quality of theice will be badly
damaged. The Courier says that an
advance from 80 to 40 cents hundred
weight for the coming season is not
improbable. as the three companies
which mainly furnish the local trade of
the city require about 200, 900 tons an
nually, of which amount only 100, 600
to 125 900 tons has yet been secured
from the regular sources OF supply.
The Boston Ice Company uses each
year about 125, 900 tons, which is cut
on Quannapowit Lake, Horn Pond and
Fresh Pond. Week before last it had
stored about 500 tons, and resumed
work on the fourth. The Citizens Ice
Company housed about 10000 tons
early in the season, its business re-
quirirg an aggregate of 64.OOO
tons. OF this amount 80, 600 tons
is obtained from Leecb's Pond.
at North Chelmsford, and the remain
der is purchased from a dealer who
cuts at Wellesley. The Union Ice
Company, which was organized two
years ago by a number of gentlemen
in the Wholesale fish business, and
which supplies fish dealers almost ex-
clusively, cuts about 20, 600 tons annu-
ally at Wilmington. The Jamaica
Pond Ice Company, which supplies
Roxbury and a portion of the Neck,
uses AMI average of %, 600 tons, and
began work on the 9Th instant on ten
oh
day. The Highland Ice Company is
also actively at work, and its houses
are by this time nearly filed from the
same source. In Walthom the ice men
are cutting twelve inches in thickness
from Charles River and some of the
ponds near. For the export trade
Jacob Hittinger cut at Fresh Pond last
year nearly 10000 tons, which, with
the exception OF a small amount
for the retail trade, was shipped to
coastwise ports. This year the sto-
rage capacity has been increased to
100, 600 tons, and cutting was begun
on Monday. Addison Gage GO.
have storage capacity for 10. IVY tons;
at Sandy Pond, Groton, $4,000; at
Spy Pond, Arlington, 60, 600; and at
North Beverly, for 30, 600 tons taken
from Wenham Lake. This firm cuts
entirely for export to coastwise ports
and the West Indies, and has no doubt
of its ability to obtain full stock:
Their work is now ir progress at all
these places. The Tudor Company,
which exports its entire cutting of
Fresh Pond ice to East India and other
foreign places, did not cut pound I'M
til few days ago, waiting for thicker
ice, its trade demanding ice of the
very bost quality and of the greatest
possible thickness, to insure its ship

Life insurance, which is now almost
as a test of civilization, is heavier in
this country than in any other. The
life insurance of the people of the
world is said to amount in the aggre-
gate to S., 273, 600, 900, and is divided
among the civilized nations of the
globe in the following proportions:
The United States, $2,750, 600, 900;
England, 81, 636, ATS, 600, 900; Germany,
$270, 900; France, s194, ZOO, 600;
Austria, s65, 900, 900; the rest of the
world, s1s7, 100000. The estimate
shows that the life insurance of the
United States is larger than all the
other countries of the globe, which in
the aggregate amounts to 50, 523, OOO,-
600, which is 1927, 625, 600 less than
tho amount accredited to the United
States.

Cunning Weasel.

An exchange gives the following account
of weasel's stratagem with the suspicious
remark that it is vouched for by friend
A grist mill was infested with large rats
until a weasel came there, and destroyed
nearly all of them. There was, however,
one large rat which he could not conquer.
They had several pitched battles in which
the rat whipped the weasel, until whenever
the rat appeared the weaesl would seek safe
ty in fight They were watched for sew
eral days, when the weasel was observed to
be digging hole in the earth under pile
of lumber, After he had completed it he
approached the mill, and the rat came after
him as usual He made some show of fight
until he got the rat interested, and then ran
into his hole. The rat followed, when the
weasel was seen to come out at the other end
of the hole and ran in at the entrance after
the rat. Subsequent examination proved
that the weasel had made the hole large
enough for tho rat to enter but had con
tracted the other end so that he could not
get out. Having thus trapped his antago-
mist, the weasel took him in the rear, and
easily conquered him,

wen PLAYED q Second TIme.

Some months ago, gentlemen in cer-
tain city, not far out of the County of Hills
borough, whom we will designate as Mr..
Jones, lost a valuable watch very mysteri-
ously. He supposed it was taken from his
pocket by some adroit "light-fnger," and
that it was hopelessly lost. He however,
advertised it, and proposed to pay "Fifty
dollars and ask no questions" for its return.
Not long after, fine-looking young man
called ON the owner of the watch, and said,

anxious to recover it, and will pay fifty dol
lars, and take no steps to punish the per-
son who took it," Said the stranger,
"Trusting to your honor, venture to return
your watch" 1t was returned and the fifty
dollars paid.
Said JONES' "Now the matter is settled,
am curious to know the history but will
not ask you" The stranger replied, 81
have no objection to telling you, but go
ont in the next train If you will walk to
the station with me, will tell the story as
we go along"
The stranger took Jones by the hand,
and as they walked along told him story,
but passing shop he said to Jones, AZ
must step in here minute; hold on" He
stepped in, Jones waited impatiently, and
at length discovered his friend had given
him the slip without relating the whole his
tory Of the lost watch. Putting his hand
TO his pocket, he was confounded on find
ing that the watch had again disappeared,
quite as mysteriously as before.

Remarkable If True.

The following incident of the famine
reported by the Collector Of Monghyr, is,
says tho Times Of India, certainly re-
markable: "a woman OF the fishing
caste" writes Mr.. Lockwood, was sit
ting by the side of the Ganges, some 100
miles from here, in the Patna District,
about daylight CT the 10th of August
suddenly the bank on which she was sit
ting gave way and she fell into the wa
ter, dragging with her large bundle of
castor roll sticks, which formed kind OF
life-buoy, and she was carried down by
the current, which is now running at a
great pace.
As each village or boat was passed she
shouted to the villagers to help her, but
no one came to her relief. In this way
she was carried nearly 100 miles, and,
fortunately for her, when she had been
twenty -four hours in the water, she pass
ed by Monghyr and was rescued by Col
Murray, who, seeing her floating by, sent
his private boat and rescued her. The
woman did not appear much the worse
for her prolonged stay in the water, but
naturally was much impressed by the
fact of her being rescued by a European,
when so many Of her own caste had de-
clined to help her. She was provided
with railway ticket TO Patna, together
with food AID clothing from the relief
funds"

The Democratic Victory.

Tho victory achieved by the Demo
Gratis of this county and State is one Of
the grandest that has ever occurred in
the political history Of our State. We
congratulate the whole people on the
result. The triumph achieved by the
Democracy is in behalf of all citizens
and for the interest and benefit Of all.
The small amount of money involved in
the official patronage Of the State is
nothing. The great matter is in the
fact that we are permitted to hold our
institutions from the hands of the spoil
ers until calmer judgment prevails in
our opponents. We are now safe from
the fearful extravaganza into which the
Radicals would have run had they car.
ried our county or State.
Our extra this morning was inaccurate
in many details; but correct in all the
essentials. We have since made such
corrections as we have been able to dc
by comparison with the official vote
since received.
