LONG AGO.

Round the house the birds were flying.
Long ago.
Came the little children. crying,
Teach us. We are tired OF trying,
How to fly like you.
In the far-off blue
Came the eager children, crying.
Long ago.
From the house-iop lightly springing.
Long ago,
Mid the birds enraptured singing.
over hill and valley winging.
All the day they few.
Up and down the blue:
While the blithesome birds were singing,
Long ago.
When the summer day was dying,
Long ago,
Suddenly, their mothers spying,
Down the children came, swift.hying.
And I'm coy beds
Hid their weary heads.
Ended then the children's flying.
Long ago.

THE LIVE RRALITy.-When the wife
of named officer or seaman finds that
her husband is meditating joining an
Arctic expdition, she should kill dog
and cook him some of it, and fix up
dish, the principal part of which is a
piece Of a blacksmith's leather apron,
cooked in candle grease. In that way
men will be apt to come to the conclu-
sion that home is good enough place
for them.-PeeEs Sun.

preserve IL.
The result of prohibition in Maine has
been TO drive intoxicating liquors from
the country towns altogether. One may
ride for days and weeks through the
country towns, stopping by night at the
hotels, without seeing an intoxicated
person or finding place where single
glass of intoxicating liquor can be bought.
The Saturday gatherings have long since
been abandoned, and are remembeie
only by old and middle-aged persons.
Everybody who remembers them now re-
gard with amazement the habits and fol-
lies Of those days. lntoxicants have
long since been banished from our coun-
try houses and by most people are not
even recognized or tolerated as remedial
agents. In the cities, though great i'm
provements have been made, the work
has not been made as complete. Where
the city officers are temperance men and
prohibitionists, there is scarcely any
trouble. but where policy or party die
tate and control, and rum sympathizers
are placed in office, the law is not en-
forced. But even in the cities public
opinion has made the traffic disgraceful,
and it is confined mostly to disreputable
persons. Some hotels keep it on the sly
for their guests, and last year, at Bangor,
all the hotels kept open bars, and were
permitted TO do so by the city govern
ment. In Lewiston, on the other hand,
q factory town with large floating pop
ulation, and hard place TO enforce a
law Of this kind, there are no open
dram shops and but very little is sold on
the sly. Public sentiment is there op.
posed to the traffic, and questions Of
mere party policy are not considered par
amount to the morals Of the city.
AS a whole, Maine has been vastly
almost incalculably bly-beneRted by the
enactment Of the probationary liquor
law, and will never give it up. If,
through apathy, the rum power should
gain the ascendancy, its triumph would
be short, and law even more stringent
than the present would be speedily re-
enacted.
A bill was passed few years ago per-
hitting registered druggists to keep in
toxicating liquors to use in their business.
and this privilege is abused by many.
The search and seizure provision Of the
prohibi,ory liquor law, which is one Of
its strongest and most effective features,
cannot apply to druggists. and the re-
suit is that, being allowed to have it in
their shops, many Of them dispose of it
for tipping purposes. This defect the
next legislature will be called upon TO
remedy. 1t is little strange that the
druggist bill with all its looseness was
favored by many oc our most radical pro-
hibitonists as concession which could
do no harm. The people Of Maine are
deeply interested in the prohibitory
movement in the West, and are by no
means jealous Of Iowa, which has out
stripped US and Incorporated the prohib-
itory principle into the State constitution.
ibis is the true principle, as it drives
this great moral question from the arena
of politics and places it where it cannot
be affected by the varying fortunes of
parties William b. Laphdm IN the 81.

THE MINERAL POINT ZINC CON-
PANY FULLY ORGANIZED.
The Capital Stock of the Co mpany
Subscribed Within Five Hours
From the time the Books
Were Opened.

On last Saturday eveninga private
meeting was held by the signers of
the agreement, circulated some time
ago, to take stock in a company to
be organized for the purpose Of car
rying on at this place the manufac.
ture Of zinc and zinc oxide. The
meeting was attended BY every
signer, and after some talk it was
agreed that on Monday morning al
10 o'clock the books should be
opened to receive subscriptions tC
the capital stock of the company
At the time named the books were
opened and in less than five hours
the entire amount of the stock
S35, 0O000-was subscribed, and all
taken by the signers of the agree
ment.
The private meeting Of Saturday
evening adjourned until Wednesday
evening, at which time the stock
holders elected the following seven
directors:
James Toay, Sr.
Alex. Wilson,
Philip Allen, ST.,
John IL. Vivian,
n. II. Snow,
L. ]. Penhallegon, ST.,
John Horn.
The question of raising the capital
stock from s35,000.00 to 100000
was taken up and discussed, but we
understand no action was taken in
the matter. for the reason that il
was thought the present capital
was sufficient to transact the bust
ness Of the Company, but it was
thought that the factory building
should be constructed SO that il
there would be any need Of greater
capacity, the Company by an in
crease of capital stock, would be in
a condition to run more furnaces
than at the present time is consid-
cred necessary.
The Directors will within few
days visit Milwaukee for the pur-
pose Of making permanent arrange
ments with the G., M. q St. T. R'y
Co, III regard to freights, etc
While it may seem that the at
tempt % establish 4 Zinc Factory
here is an experiment which some
of our enterprising citizens have
entered into, still they act as though
they were not afraid of the conse-
quences. In other words, they are
determined in the near future to see
the smoke curling from manufacture
ing establishments in this city. The
stock holders have shown from the
first, enterprise, pluck and capital,
and we are confident that their
efforts will be rewarded with success.

The Great Dairy Garden Of the
Future.

The area Of territory included
within the northern third of Hill
nois and the southern quarter of
Wisconsin and the whole State of
Iowa, making about ninety thousand
square miles, says the Chicago Trib-
une, is destined, within a compar-
atively brief term, to become the
greatest garden for dairy products
IN the world. The central points in
his great district Of dairy produc-
zion are Cedar Rapids, in Iowa, and
Elgin, IN Illinois So great has the
production in Iowa become that a
Board of Trade for dairy products
has been established at Cedar Rap
ids, to which the butter and cheese
of that State are sent, and where
purchases from all parts of Iowa go
as to central market. Ten years
ago the principal butter sold in that
market was brought from New York
and Ohio. But little butter was
made west OF Illinois, and a sin.
gle COW was the limit Of the
farmers dairy Now Illinois, Iowa
and Wisconsin have the command
of the market, and butter and
cheese have not only become articles
of export to the Eastern States, but
they have done much to build up
the foreign exports of the country.
Henceforth the leading agricultural
interest, the one overshadowing all
others, in Northern Illinois, South
ern Wisconsin and all Iowa will be
dairy products. The products Of
this immense dairy garden will be
of immense value to tile owners, and
contribute largely to the wealth Of
the country. Nor Is there any
dread of the exhaustion of the land.
Self-interest will inspire the preser-
Walton of the soil in all its produc-
tiveness. As time progresses the
herds of the dairy farm will be i'm
proved, and the average yield from
milk, in the form of butter and
cheese, will be increased by higher
cultivation and by the improvement
of the stock. This is the future
which all the signs and experiences
Of the past and present indicate for
Iowa, and for the adjoining parts Of
Illinois and Wisconsin.
