Sumptuary Laws.

The Galveston News of Sum-
day contains a lengthy editorial
on "Sumptuary Legislation" in
which special reference is had
to the proposed amendment
prohibiting the manufacture,
importation, or sale Of alcoholic
liquors in Texas. The subject
IS reviewed at length and it is
found that Intoxicating liquors
have been in use from the ear
Hest ages. 1t is admitted that
strong drink is the cause of I'M
told evil, but past experience
has proven that prohibitory
laws do not remedy the matters
in the least. So long as the
art Of making whiskey exists it
will be made and drank. LET
men be raised physically, NOR
ally and Intellectually above the
appetite for strong drink and
the craving to get drunk, and
the means of drunkenness will be
perfectly harmless, though pre-
sented in boundless profusion,"
says the News. 1t concludes
by saying that Texas is never
likely to be benefited by a pro-
hibitory system, more like a
corpse from the outset, if posi-
bic, than the bell punch, and
calculated to make the state a
laughing stock in Germany,
France. Great Britain and the
rest of the civilized world"
In matters of this kind it is
well enough to be governed by
plain common sense and philos-
ophy. The revenue of the
State is not more than sufficient
for its requirements; if prohibi-
ton is adopted the revenue from
the sale of liquors is cut off and
the deficiency must be made up
from other sources. In the
place Of barrooms, we will have
drug stores, and we will be af-
fiicted with an epidemic Of dis
eases that will require alcoholic
liquor as a remedy.

sleeping North and South

Experience has proved there
are advantages in sleeping with
the head toward the north.
Numbers of individuals cannot
enjoy a good nights rest In any
other position. Many children
almost invariably settle down
to sleep in a northerly direction
no matter in what position the
bed is placed. When we re-
member that the compass needle
which is magnet, is never at
rest, unless pointing towards the
north, We can easily understand
that man, who is also a magnet
will be more at rest If he places
himself in the same position.
Many people are highly mag
netic while others lack this i'm
portant gift of nature. A lack
OF animal magnetism causes
sickness and death.

Diseased Pork.

While there is some COM
plant about the rule issued by
the French government, prohib-
iting the Importation of Ameri-
can pork into France, the gen.
eral admission is made by the
Western dealers that a great
deal of inferior pork has been
shipped oflate from this country,
particularly last year, when the;
season was unfavorable foN
packing. The present winter,
however, has been extremely
favorable, and it is not likely
that we will hear of any COM
plants against this years CROP
As to triohinosis, this disease
has been increasing rapidly
among the hogs of this country
of late years. 1t is suggested
by the dealers that compe-
tent person might be appointed
in each city that is.a pork CEN
tire, to examine not only the
hogs, but the food they eat.
Such an examination was made
in Chicago last year when it
was discovered that one hog
in ten suffered from trichina.
There is not much danger from
these parasites, however, unless
they are present in. great guam:
titles, as was evidenced by the
hog Inspector, who freely ate
of the infected pork, containing
tens of thousands of these pests,
without any apparent injury.
such an examination or inspec-
ton might result IN wiping out
these pests altogether. Unless
something is done, the time is
not far distant when American
pork will be unstable, and its
importation prohibited by every
power in Europe.-N, o. Dem

Walk for Health.

What is better than walk in
winter as stimulation to the
nerves7 How gratefufthe crisp
air is to the lungs! How clear
and sweet it is to the nostrils (!
How it inspires and sustains
one in a swinging gait of four or
FIVE miles an hourl How the
cheeks glow, and the eyes shine,
and the muscles tingle with de-
lightful vigor, after such a walk
through the winter sunshine !
A chaise-ride is not half so
good, for it robs the trip of the
necessary exercise. Try..it, you
who seek health and strength.
Winter walking, asan "neFvine,"
is a milion times better than
medicine, and for improving the
complexion is worth a whole
harbor full of lotion and washes.
1t will put an edge on appetite
that you can't buy at the doc
tors, and promoting digestion
is better than a coIneF drug
shops entire stock Of bitters
and pills. II you have never
tried it, take a walk. Keep
your mouth closed, your Shout
ders well thrown back, your
head up, and remembers
that your legs-and especially
your hips-wers given you to
walk with. Some people walk
with their knees, bodies and
shoulders--and no wonder they
don't like it. We doE't like to
see them. There is an art ia
walking, as in other things. If
you don't belisvs ii, observe the
mot;oR OF some shapely woman
who knows how to move, or
study the gait of a man who
has some spring and litheasss
in him; 1t is never too late to |
learn how 20 walk by walking. |
And. once learned, it is a de- !
lghtful accomplishment.

FEDERATION.

It is a hopeful sign when
party papers display boldness
to do justice to political oppo-
nents, says the Waco Telephone
commenting on the favorable
criticisms Of the southern press
on Garheld's inaugural address.
Partisan feeling, elimination and
recrimination has done much to
prolong the differences between
the north and south. Republi-
cans IN the north are beginning
to find out that there are honest
democrats and pure men in the
south, and democrats in the
south are beginning to learn
that their are honest republicans
and pure men in the north. The
politicians ofboth sections have
been mainly responsible for the
people not understanding each
other. Men may entertain wide
ly different opinions in regard
to religion and politics, and yet
their business and social rela-
tons may be of the most pleas
ant character; it should be SO,
and when such is the case it
shows that enlarged and liberal
views are for more preferable
than narrow-mindedness. So
long as the republican politi-
clans of the north were in the
ascendency and used their polit-
ical power for the purpose Of
putting money in their purses
and depressing the people of
the south, just so long were
they FESTIVE and dissatisfied.
The northern politicians and
A.
not the northern people were
responsible for the unhappy
condition Of affairs that for so
many years after the war pre-
vailed, The country at large
certainly has every reoson to
congratulate itself thatwe have
a partisan president who has the
manliness to be conservative
and to feel that he is president
of the United States and not of
any section ofthe country.

i Fortunately for Brennan the
larger number of capitalists and
property holders, are men o.
enterprise and men Of liberality
recognizing the fact that they
share in the general prosperity
of the community in which they
live. They promptly respond
to every demand for money for
a public object, although they
have TO direct or immediate in
terest therein. Schools, church.
es, railways, public highways,
have, in their opinions, legiti-
mate claims upon the general
public, and they act according
! ly. Neither begging, or bull
doing is required for opening
their purses. But unfortunately
there are in Brennan, as well as
elsewhere, a small class whose
views and acts are purely sell
fish. They never invest in any
enterprise, unless it pays cent.
per cent. into their pockets.
They are very willing to see
others expend money for the
public good, and very willingly
take their share Of the profits.
If the building Of a church will
double the value Of their tene-
ment houses in its vicinity, they
like to see others build the
church. If a public school or
a railroad draws population and
creates demand for their stores
and houses and unimproved
lots, they cheerfully permit
otie,s to give their money for
those laudable objects. But
there is no law compelling them
to give their money, and as they
are strict legahsfs, obeying the
law in all things, their conscien-
tious scruples restrain them also
from giving money for such
laudable purposes. No doubt
they have hard work to restrain
their gust of liberality. They
can't for their lives keep from
talking ard sometimes when
they get very much excited, of
fo,Tting about the free gifts and
liberal contributions they would
make, if their conscientious
scruples did not restrain them,
show them a lao for it and
ropes could not hold them back.
