The temperance people are exceed
ingly active at this time, aud several of
the States have recently passed the
most stringent prohibitory laws. The
laws are generally to prevent the sell
ing or drinking Of spirituous liquors in
public places, but some go so far as to
forbid the manufacture, or giving away
of cider and wine, as we'll as stronger
liquors. Such are the provisions of the
act recently passed by the Kansas leg.
islature. Ifsuch laws could be executed
they would deprive the country of a
large amount of revenue. Bismarck's
idea, as shown by the bill recently in
PRODUCED in the German Reichstag, is
more sensible and practicable; 1t is to
get as much revenue from the whisky
tariff us possible, and he does not pro-
pose to cut purchasers off from theil
drains. His design is to punish people
only after they get drunk. They car
buy as much as they please, but they
must he careful how they use it. Sensi'

ALCOHOL EYERYwHERE.-Mr. Mnntz,
a French scientist, has lately examined
spring, river, sea and rain water; also
snow, He finds alcohol in all except in
son 18th water ss Holding kn 81 auspnti-
ties of alcohol, rain water and the water
of the Seine are estimated to contain
about one gramme per cubic metre.
SNOW and cold rain seem to contain a
little more. The proportion in sea
water is much the same. There is eyi-
dent reason to suppose that alcohol

This diffusion Of the substance i'll ma

hove.Ient another one and which was
returned broken or cracked. The law
YER for the defense began an address to
the Court thus: "There are three points
in this case, may it please your honor.
Tn the first place, we contend that the
kettle in dispute was cracked when we
borrowed it /; secondly, that it was whole
when we returned it; and thirdly, that
we never had it."

A woman at Presburg, Hungary, was
arrested for receiving stolen goods.
She was born Jewess, but six months
before her arrest had been converted
to Christianity. Her defense was that
she was legally an infant and not res

rarian law reckons ones birth from the
date Of bis baptism. The court decided
flat the defense was valid, and released

APPROVED AND ADoPTED.-In look
ing over our exchanges, we came across
a paragraph in the Baton Rouge Capito-
liam, which struck us as such pre-emi-
nently local matter that, while giving
due credit to its originator, we trust our
readers will regard it as the reflex of
our opinion, and as emanating for their
especial benefit and instruction:
"The journalistic career is in many
respects glorious one, and those who
pursue It are given frequent opp0rtuni-
ties to fight, bleed, and even die for
their country's and the public good.
Yet while living to perform these noble
deeds, they have to send the basket to
market, like all other common mortals.
To further destroy the poetry OF life,
the ruthless butcher, knowing that the
printer does heap Of work for the love
Of God, frequently singles him out, as a
fit person from whom the cash is re-
quired before the goods are delivered.
In view of this distressing state OF at
fairs, we feel compelled to do as every
body else does; require pay for what
work we do. AS it is done elsewhere,
we will hereafter charge one dollar for
every marriage notice, and the same
amount for a death notice. Obituary
tributes will he charged at one half the
usual advertising rates."-lSt. Bernard

DIVORCE has become a steadily in

presented to the Societe d'Economie

four years between 1910 and 1874, inclu-
sive, the number Of divorces in Holland
had been one for every y sseo i 1oe 165
