STATE AND MUNICIPAL LAWS
RELATING TO THE SALE OF
INTOXICATING LHQUORS.

We promised our readers not long
ago to place them i'm possession of
the law, exactly as it stands at pres
ent, in relation to the retail liquor
trade. We intended then to give a
brief digest of these laws, but find
ing that the laws themselves can be
given in a very moderate space,
have preferred to do so, appending
a few remarks as to their practical
application.

Isroad-Cl.ested Rorses.

wind" says an old horseman, is the
grand secret of a fast horse. Good lungs
will cover multitude Of faults: while on
the other hand, perfection Of shape and
form are useless when the wind is out.
The chest, therefore, in all cases, should
be large and capaclous. In shape it may
vary somewhat, according to the service
to which the horse is to be put. If he is
to be kept for slow work and heavy draw
ing, the chest may be nearly circular in
form, because this shape is one Tor
strength and bulk, to receive and bear up
against the pressure of the collar, while
at the same time sufficient room is Sc
cured for that expansion Of the lungs
caused by slow, regular work. But if the
chest is circular, let it be at the same
time deep, or else the lungs may be
cramped. A horse with shallow chest
is worthless for any purpose. The rule,
then, is this: For draught horse, cir
cular but deep chest: but, as you pass
through the different degrees of speed up
to the racer and trotter. the chest will in
increase in depth, compared to its round
ness, until, for the highest rate OF speed,
you must take a chest as deep as grew
hound, and at the same time not lacking
in strength"

George Sherry and Thomas Connolly,
who were recently found guilty OF the murder
Of Mcconnell in Chicago, were sentenced to
be hanged on the 21st of June. On receiving
the sentence Connolly replied, Thank you,"
to the Judge, and sat down apparently salts
fed.
At Eastville, Northampton county, Vir-
ginja, on the 2Sth ult., Sidney Pitts and A. P.
Thomas fought with pistols to settle a dispute.
Two rounds were fired by each, and as they
stood only six feet apart Pitts was killed, and
Thomas received q ball in the head flom
which he will probably die.
Pat and John Reilly, brothers, Of Chip
pewa Ont, attem pied to cross the Niagara IN
a row boat on the lst inst. When half over it
was noticed that they were in trouble as if an
oar was broken. They were too far down to
render any assistance, and they went over
horseshoe falls, just outside Of the Three Sis
ter's Islands.
The bank of South Pueblo, California,
was robbed Of about $500 in money and a gold
watch, on the 30th ult. Mr. n. H. Banks, one
Of the propretors, sleeps in the bank. The
robbers forced an entrance through the back
door, and when Mr.. Banks awoke one of
them was holding big revolver to his head
and the other had the point of bowie knife
against his body opposite the heart. They
threatened to kill him if he made noise, and
Immediately gagged him, after which they
compelled him to open the safe. After secur-
ing the plunder they tied his hands behind
him and bound his feet to the bed post, and
threatened to return and Ejn him if he at
tempted to make any noise after they had
left.

Formerly suspicion fell on green wall
papers only, and there was certain rea-
son for this, because there is really not
the slightest excuse for using arsenic in
even the brilliant collors of any other
shade than green. Paper stainers, how.
ever, have found that it is such an unusu-
ally profitable practice that now they are
not content to use arsnic in green wall
papers only, but are introducing it into
even the palest white drawing room pa
pers, anl especially into those which have
an enamelled ground. Some recent analy-
ses have resulted in the startling dis
closure that many of the pale colored wall
papers contain from fifteen to twenty five
grains of asenic per square foot ,or quantity
in essof:that which is contained in most
of the brilliant green papers. By at
tempting to make the color Of the pattern
as dead as possible, the evil is increased,
for the arsenical coloring matter is put on
in such loose and powoery form that
the mere friction of coat or dress against
the paper is sufficient to bring off ouanti-
ties of arsenic which can be detected by
chemical test

The great London walking match, just
won SO handsomely by O Leary Of Chicago
will probably yield not a few lessons in
the art Of pedestrianism. One such lesson
is already evident, namely, that in 500
mile walk little is gained by spurts Of
trotting ana running. O'Leary tried these
on the first day, bat lost ground by them,
and so from Tuesday till Saturday night
kept to the walking stride that brought
him out victor Vaughan, on the con-
trary, ran more Or less each day; but. as
a consequence, his walking gait tempor
airly fell off. Brown and Corkey also
trotted good deal; Corkey, who, on
Tuesday, was second, and only a mile
behind OLeary, seems to have DESTROYED
his chances by his running tactics. These
are, no doubt, good for varying the mo-
notony of the walk, but they apparently
do not gain distance in a SIX days con-
test.

Although bachelors have (Crabb Rob
inson, for example, who lived to be nine
ty-four)- attained a great age, sta
tistics go to prove conclusively that so
far as men between twenty-five and thirty
are concerned the married state is more
conducive to longevity. In France the
mortality per 1000 is G.2 in married
men between twenty-five and thirty, and
1912 in bachelors Of the same age. Bel
gium and Holland show similar statistics

Retributive justice has overtaken a
clever thief iu France, who for seven
years lived comfortably on the products
of his plunGer. In 1871, bank clerk
named Mouny, bearing good character
absconded with the proceeds of check
for $4,000. A girl known to be intimate
with him was arrested, but released for
want Of proof. All this time he was con
cealed with friends in Parif, to whom he
gave $4,000 for the hospitality After
two months he went to Geneva, where the
girl met him. There he procured forged
certificate of marriage, under the name
of Graf, and, armed with this the pair
crossed the frontier to Savoy, bought a
pretty country house near Chambery, and
lived there quietly and unmolested till
quite lately, when the long baf1ed police
found them out. Mouny was sentenced
to eight years in penal servitude, and the
girl to five years.

A preacher remarked, on concluding a
long and wearisome discourse, that she
could have expressed all he had said in
five minutes, but he knew that many OF
lis audience had come a long distance,
and expected to hear a sermon" A great
many preachers have felt this way about
their sermons, but lacked the frankness
to say so. The people expect, as gen
eral thing, so many minutes of sermon,
and if the minister cuts them short as to
time, they suspect that they are not get
ting the worth Of their money out of him.
He may water his material as literally as
he pleases, and it is all right if he only
