EASTERN LIQUOR LAWS.

New York has liquor law which makes
the dealer responsible for the results of his
business, just as it does the apothecary who
sells the deadly drug. For instance,
where drunken brute kills his wife and
leayes several children without protec-
tor, the children can recover damages from
the man who sold the whisky which made
the father drunk. Massachusetts has a
law pending which, il passed, will make
the sellers Of liquors exceedingly cautious
to whom they sell. 1t reads as follows;
Every husband, wife, child, parent, guar
dian, employer or other persons who shall
be injured in person or property or means
of support by any intoxicated person, or
in consequence of the ntoxication. habitusl
or otherwise, of any person, shall have a
right of action in his or her own name,
severally or jointly, against any person or
persons who shall, by selling or giving in
toxicating liquors, lave caused the intox-
icatiol, in whole or in part, of such person
or persons; and any person or persons
owning, renting, leasing, or permitting the
occupancy of any building or premises, and
having knowledge that intoxicating liquors
are to be sold therein, or who. having
leased the same for other purposes, shall
knowingly permit therein the sale of any
intoxicating liquors, shall, If any such
liquors sold or given therein have caused
in whole or in part, the intoxication OF any
person, be liable, severally or jointly, viii
the person or persons selling or giving in
toxicating liquors as aforesaid for all dam
ages sustained, and for exemplary damages
and the same may be recovered in an actor
of tort. A married woman may bring sucf
action in her own name, and all damages
| recovered by her shall inure to her separate
use. In case of the death of either party

Waterproof Birds.

A writer in London Land and Water
saws: Perhaps the reader has never
considered how all birds obtain the
gloss on their feathers which makes
them proof against water. Waterfowl
are, OF course, supplied with a thicker
coating OF feathers than land birds, but
all have the faculty of procuring the oily
matter to cover their feathers and resist
water getting in between. Have you
ever noticed, when bird was plucked,
small protruberance above the tail,
furnished with pencil-like tuft OF
feathers 1t is here that the ointment
is hidden; and the bird has the power to
raise the thicker feathers that cover
this spot, and, passing its head over 1T,
obtains enough matter at time to COM
municate it to the rest of its plumage.
And it is truly interesting to watch a
duck pluning itself and covering its
feathers with the oil that is required for
keeping out the water. AS this part OF
the body is liable to give an unpleasant
flavor to the flesh, it ought to be cut of
before cooking"
