Democratic victory, but is merely
a chastisement Of the Republican
party, administered by its friends,
for shortcomings which are not
likely to occur again.
The returns show that the Repub-
lican vote Of the State was not out
while the Democrats were at the
polls more generally than usual.
The Prohibitionists exerted them.
selves to the fullest, and undoubted-
ly developed the maximum of their
strength, which returns thus far re-
ceived indicate to be about 700 In
the State. That disatfection in the
Republican ranks contributed CON
sidcrably to swell the Prohibi-
ton vote on Congressman, is I'M
questioned To this cause may
safely be credited about one-third Of
the 300 votes thrown for Hastings
in the Sd district, and which would
unquestionably have been cast for
Republican nominee generally ac-
ceptable to the party. Even with
this advantage the Prohibition vote
of the State is less in proportion to
the whole than it was a year ago.
In 1881 the total vote thrown for
Governor was l7l,S56; of which
Kanouse received 1925, or about
eight per cent. This year the total
vote for congressman in the State is
estimated to be fully 10000; of this
the Prohibition candidates in eight
districts received about $4,000. Al
lowing 5000 for Prices district,
where no Prohibition candidate was
run, and deducting 900 from Hast
ings vote on account Of disaffected |
Republicans, and the strength of |
that parry at the late election is fixed |
at $4,000, or about sege'1 per cent of |
the whole. To find that they have
actually lost ground, despite most |
vigorous efforts, has a depressing eff
feet upon the Prohibitionists plainly |
noticeable. AS party in Wiscon-
son the Prohibitionist are defunct.
Hereafter they will be impotent for
good or harm, politically, as the
Greenbackers are.
4 story to the effect that Hazelton
Reyes $4,000 to Withdraw

to decline such an offer if

THE Official returns Of the New
York election are not all in, but
enough have been made public to
show that though Hancock failed to
carry the state two years ago, he
polled more votes than have been
cast for Cleveland, Notwithstanding
the 100000 majority Of the latter.
The election, therefore, shows no
INCREASE of Democratic strength.
The men who carried the State for
Garfield are still there and have not
become Democrats.

devotion had not won the proud and

student in Nuremberg fell on his knees
and avuwed to the royal Princess that
he had wagered with his companions
that she would kiss him in the public

the ears of the whole corps OF stupefed

It is depriving womanhood Of half its
Joy and all its mastery to remit the kiss.
It should be taught to boys with their

iect of prizes at school. Mothers should
encourage it, daughters should practice
it-on their brothers-andno man should
be considered eligible who can not kiss
in all moods and lenses. The poetic
side of the question has been merely
touched here. The practical opens up
field too exhaustive for present treat

The Omnibus.

The long coach called an omnibus,
with the entrance behind and the seats
along the side, facing each other, origi-
mated In Paris in 1927, and, in 1881 it
began to come into use In London. In
large cities it Is found the most econom-
ical form of carriage, except those rum
ming on rails, for conveying the largest
number of passengers through the
streets. In Paris the public omnibuses
are numerous and commodious, though
their progress is slow as compared with
those of London. One company hns a
municipal monopoly and owns all the
lines. The omnibuses on the gets Ial
lines are of different coiors, and the
lines are lettered from A to 2 and from
AB to A q. In 1876 there were in Lon
don about 500 omnibuses, employing
nearly 5000 persons. The number was
formerly much larger in proportion, for,
IN 1874, one company employed ], 400
omnibuses. But large part of the city
and suburban travel is now carried on
tramways and underground railways.
In New York city one was made In 1880
and run upon Broadway. In 1853 the
number of these coaches employed upon
various lines was 400. This was con-
siderable reduction from the number Of
former years, owing to the construction
of horse railroads, and by 1873 the num-
ber was reduced to about 200.

Bathing.

The end of the day is the best time
for sponge-bath; q sponge and coarse
towel have often cmed insomnia where
diacdium failed. A bueketful of tepid
water viii do for ordinary Purposes; !;
daily shower baths in winter time are as
preposterous as hot drinks in the dog
days. Russian baths and ice-water
cures owe their repute to the same pop
nlar delusion that ascribes miraculous
virtues to nauseating drugs-the mis-
trust of our natural instincts, culminat-
ing in the idea that all natural things
must be injurious to men, and that the
efficacy of remedy depends on the de-
gree of its responsiveness. Ninety-nine
boys in q hundred would rather take
the bitterest medicine than cold bath
in mid-winter. II we leave children
and animals to the guidance of their in
stincts they will become amphibious in
the dog-days, and quench their thirst at
the coldest spring without fear of injur-
ious consequences but In winter-time
even wild beasts avoid immersion with
an instructive dread. A Canadian bear
viii make wide circuit, or pick his
way over the foes rather than swim a
lake in cold weather. Baptist mission
aries do not report many revivals be-
fore June. Warm springs, on the other
hand, attract all the birds and beasts
that stay with US in winter-time the
hot spas of Rockport, Ark, are visited
nightly by raccoons and foxes In spite
Of all torchlight hunts; and Haxthausen
tells US that In hard winters the therma
of Paetigorsk, in the Eastern Caucasus,

tant Terek valley. I know the claims
of the hydlopathic school, and the argu-
ments pro and con, but the main points

The Value of Life.

One of the interesting specuiations
recently started in England has for a
subject the present value Of life as COM
pared with its value when mankind did
not spend half of it's tine in studying
the problem Of prolonging life. One
Of the leading London physicians de-
clares that men were happier and bet
ter, and lived nobler lives, before the
pursuit of health and the yearnings for
longevity became craze almost
amounting to madness, and before the
questions what to eat, drink and to
avoid, and what to wear, and how to
live, by what means to avoid infection,
10 keep off disease, and to escape death
for few weary and wearied years, were
the all-engrossing ones. Another urges
that the '3 survival Of the fttest," so far
as the race is concerned, is great mis-
take; and that humanity in general
would be great deal better of ii there
we're less Of the loving labor now ex-
pended in prolonging the lives Of the
weak, diseased and crippled.
There is no danger that either of these
views will find general acceptance. The.
world has become so accustomed to
studying the laws Of health and long
life, and enjoys the study SO much, that
it is not likely to abandon it, even for
the purpose Of bringing back the happy
days when men didn't care anything
about diet and drainage and pure air.
There is just as little danger of any
retrogression in the matter of caring
for the sick and helpless. It may be
worse for the race, in one aspect of the
case, to prolong liyes of suffering and
to interfere with the natural process
which extinguishes the weddings m q
few generations. But what the race
loses in this way it is repaid an hundred
fold in the cultivation and expansion OF
its finer emotions. Detroit Free Press.

Specific Against Typhoid.

DR.. Guillasse, Of the French navy, IN
a paper on typhoid fever, speaks Of the
great benefit which has been derived
from the use of coffee. He has found
that 10 sooner have the patients few
table-spoonfuls OF it than their features
become relaxed and they come to their
senses. The next day the improvement
is such as to leave no doubt that the
article is just the specific needed. Under
the influence the stupor is dispelled
and the patient rouses from the state of
somnolency in which he has been since
the invasion of the disease; soon ali the
functions take their natural course. and
he enters upon convalescence. DIR.

4 Plea for Tobacco.

Here is an eloquent plea for the use
of tobacco: cit composes the mind,
busies the thoughts, it attracts all out
ward objects to the minds view, it set
ties and retents the senses, it cheers the
understanding, Strengthens the judg-
ment, spies out errors, it exasperates
foEies, it heats ambition, it comforts
sorrow, it abates passion, it excites to
noble actions, it digests conception, it
enlarges knowledge, it elevates magma
ton, it creates fancy, it quickens wit,
and it makes reason pleader and truth
Judge IN all disputes and controversies
between right and wrong" So wrote
Margaret, Duchess of Newcastle, some
200 years ago, and probably many a wife
has indorsed her statements since, for it
does work wonders with an irritable
man, we all know.

housekeeping Hereafter.

Housekeeping, as now conducted, is
too big job for those who undertake to
do it-a fact practically realized In all
households. Not even the most favored
are free from danger ofperiodic break
down in the over-taxed machinery OF
domestic administration, and the COM
mon experience is that the gearing runs
anything but smoothly at best. The
one matter of trouble with servants
is becoming such crying evil that it is
talked of whenever housekeepers meet,
and the public prints are burdened with
discussions of remedies and plans for
obtaining better "help." This agita-
ton will presently make plain that the
servant trouble lies too deep to be
reached by changes in the personnel OF
the service. It is not that cooks and
chambermaids are SO greatly at fault as
that too much is demanded from them.
The work to be done requires greater
intelligence and ability than can be in
duced to enter domestic service at pres
ent.
Necessity commanding and oppor-
tunity inviting, an attempt to institute
better methods of housekeeping cannot
long be delayed. The centripetal force
of society, potent In commerce and arts,
will be permitted again to modify the
conduct OF household affairs acting, as
heretofore, by removing certain kinds
of work from the home, and max
ing them the basis of q new business.
The kinds OF work to be transplanted
are those which bring dirt and litter into
the house, those which require and
which produce heat, and those which
demand mans strength OF an experts
skill. In plain words, the household is
to be relieved of the heavy and gross
labors, and also the difficult and trying
operations connected with cooking,
washing, ironing, heating and cleaning.

Wonders Of Electricity.

In discussing lecture delivered be-
fere the Society of Arts in London by
Mr.. Alexander Siemens, on the trans
mission Of power by electricity, the
London Standard says that he dealt
with q subject which is destined to play
o conspicuous part in the future of the
worlds history. cit would seem," it
says, Gas il much we have hitherto
deemed wonderful and almost perfect
m the domain of practical science was
about to vanish away. A new COMPETE
tor enters the field, armed with subtle
and irresistible power, and promising
not merely to perform old things in a
better way, but to accomplish that
which has been hitherto uninterrupted,
If not altogether undreamed of. Even
the railway, the perfection Of mechan-
ISM and engineering arts not secure.
1t may, indeed, remain; but there
seems a possibility of undergoing a
change which will make it anew thing
altogether. Experimental railways,
worked by electricity, have been known
for about two years but commence
ment has now been made in a business
Ike form, and the suburbs of Berlin are
Now witness to the opening of q public
line OF railway, in which the moving
power takes the shape Of electricity.
The beginning is small, but it is
real, and as it already presents the
appearance Of success we may look
for its extension. The Prussian
authorities have officially decided
that the vehicle thus travelling
on rails Is tramcar, and must not
go Of higher average speed than nine
English miles, or just fraction more,
per hour. This so-caled tramcar is in
reality an electrical carriage, very well
capable Of performing in five minutes
the Journey On which it is compelled to
expend twice that amount OF time.
There is no reason why several carriages,
each with its own electrical appliance,
should not be joined in one train. The
motive power will thus be equal to steep
gradients, and the machinery could in
an instant be made to exercise the most
effective brake power. When proposal
was put forth some time back for an
overhead street-railway In Berlin, on
the Simens and Halske system, calcu-
lation was entered into as to cost. It
was then estimated that the first cost
for the railway and all it's accessories
would be under el2,000 per mile. The
rolling-stock would be OF small extent,
but it was shown that, if 200 trains ran
per day, carrying on an average five or
six passengers each, at the charge of a
penny per mile for each passenger, all
the expenses would be paid, including
depreciation and repairs and 5 per cent.
on capital. Unfortunately, there were
objections to the scheme. People ab-
horred the idea of railway passengers
peering in at their 'frst-foor windows,
and the Emperor did not wish to see one
of the handsomest thorougnfares of the
capital disigured. Hence the copces-
sion was not granted and the project re-
mains in abeyance.

dices in Italy about certain fruits and
vegetables Though blackberries grow

cred altogether too common. Water
