IOWA AND PROHIBITION

On Tuesday the people of Iowa
voted upon the following as an
amendment to the state constitu
ton:
SECTION 26 No person shall manu-
faclIre for sale, sell or keep for sale dc q
beverage, any intoxicating liquors what
ever, including Rie, wine and beer. The
Rsrer<l Assem- bly, shall, by Law, prescribe
regulations for the enforcement OF the
provisions herein contained, and shall
thereby provide su table pens ties for
vIoiatIons OF the provisions thereof.
The telegraph has not brought
the complete returns, but enough
has come to make sure that the
amendment has been adopted into
the fundamental law Of the state,
and Iowa only awaits the action of
its Legislature to make it pro
hibitOry" commonwealth. Every
advocate of temperance and sobrl-
ETY. will sincerely hope that the
amendment will Prove effective in
Stopping the traffic in intoxicants
ia Iowa; at the same time, no in
telligent person will believe that
any such result will follow this
action on the part of the voters.
Experience everywhere teaches that
prohibition does not prohibit; that
1t does not. in fact, decrease drunk
enness nor drinking; but it does
put the liquor traffic into the
hands of irresponsible, roguish peo-
ple-men who delight in breaking
law and violating statutes. Pro
hibitOry laws engender a disregard
for law. The reform of the drunkard
is not accomplished by making in
tOXicat'ng liquors more difficult to
procure. After witnessing the con-
SpicuOus failures Of prohibition in
Maine and Kansas it is somewhat
surprising that the progressive
young state of Iowa should under
take an impossibility and put itself
into a position to be laughed at by
thUse other communities that are
intemperance intelligently
and trying to put stop to drunken
ness by dealing with it as all evil
that has existed since before the
days of Noah, and has come down
through the generations among all
peoples until it has become almost
a part of human nature. 1t can
not be an experiment that Iowa
is entering upon, any more than it
would be an experiment for a man
TO attempt d known Impossible
thing. Iowa has simply permitted
4 sentiment-good in itself-to run
away with its judgment, and the
will be the liquor
5rade will fall into the hands of
-ogues, tlicksters and irresponsible
characters, while drinking goes on
IS before. The best way to decrease
drunkenness is to create a senti-
nent in the community that makes
ippling disgraeeful, and the best
way to control the liquor traffic is to
ak it to the highest point possible.

Sir Garnet Wolselcy's Goodness ON the
Battlefield.

All accounts are agreed as to Sir
Garnet demeanor both before and after
the fight His GOODNESS and self-reliance
were extraordinary. On the morning
before the battle. when he took all the
Generals and their respective stalls to
reconnoiter the enemy's lines he dis
mounted within a couple miles of Tel-el-
Kebir. and gathering the Others around
him, explained exactly what he meant
to do With a short stick he Pc nted to
the intrenchments AS he might to a
blackboard in lecture-roOm, and quiz
etly indicated in turns the position of
each part of the attacking force. He
had the whole thing of by heart, knew
and explained in exact detail what every
regiment had 10 do. While they were
thus occupied, protected only by small
cavalry escort, the enemy sent out a
party to observe them. but made no
further demonstration. Wolseley's
=. lecture finished. they all remounteG
and rode back to camp.
After the battle was practically won.
Sir Garnet came tothe bridge across the
canal communicating the right with the
left attack, and getting OFT his horse.
quietly began TO write his telegram an
nouncing the victory on a scrap of pa
per handed to him by one of his staff.
Here, too. he received tn. reports from
the various staff officers of divisions and
brigades. asking more particularly as to
casualties. Are you quite sure?" he
always said. Don't give me wrong
figures. Don't mention any officers
name unless YOU are quite positive he is
hit" All this time he was giving or
ders right and left, now to one staff Off
Ger. now to another. and through it all.

chicago Il YOU don't like the streets.
You can be Just as Independent; in Ger
many as YOU are in Chicago. You can
order the walters around. and tell
them they are already paid for then
services: or you can tell the .''portier"
the biggest nuisance around a Eu
ropean hotel. and almos. As insolent as
the hotel clerk in America-fiatly. that
you will not pay twice for everything;
that you will not give any fees You
may disappoint the PORTER and the
walters. and the rest Of them, but in the
long run Won succeed only in making
Yourself miserable.
There are two kinds of fees, the
judicious and the iniudicious fee. You
must learn to put your money where il
will do The most good. The judicious
fee will sometimes secure you the
greatest comfort; it will always assist in
making your stay in a hotel agreeable.
The iniudicious fee may occasionally
have a good effect. but usually it only
protects you from annoyance without
giving YOU any other satisfaction. Gen
orally Americans are injudicious in the
distribution of their fayors. They usual
" give too much and too often. FREE
quently they give large fees to per-
sons who do not expect them, and
small ones to those who do. The result
is dissatisfaction, and you will see it in
your beefsteak. in your coffee. in your
tea, in your cigars. or in your wine.
Then there are people who give fees as
a matter of course. They are taken as a
matter of course, and no benefit is de-
rived from them. Others give fees in
an improper spirit. They allow the re-
cipient to see that the fee is not given
cheeriully, and the services which are
given in return for it are not given
cheerfully either.
The experienced tourist or traveller
will always find out, in the first
place. the persons upon whom he
will be dependent for the numerous
little comforts SO essential to one 5
happiness in a European hotel
He will give them a little at first-just
enough TO make them cheerful-and
promise them more. If he makes the
right kind of promise his attendants
will do their best TO earn his good will
1t is much better TO allow them to live
in hope of future reward than TO pay
them before they have earned anything.
If they think that you have given them
all Won intend to give. they soon forget
I that You have given them anything. and
become careless regarding your happi-
ness. Chemnitz Cor. Chicago NcUs.

Dogs I'm Partnership.

A curious story of canine sagacity is
reported in the Cologne journa 5. The
owner of number OF rabbits near Bar
nicu found that for six successive nights
one of his rabbits was stolen from the
house which he bad made for them out
of wooden case which stood few
inches above the ground. At the top of
it an opening had been made about the
width OF two hands. which was closed
at night by board on which heavy
stones were laid The house having
thus been secured, and as it was found
each morning that only one rabbit had
been stolen, and that all the rest were
quite uniniured, it was considered i'm
possible for weasel to have effected
the theft. II was, therefore, supposed
that human hands had been at work.
The owner consequently first made the
opening more secure by mailing down
one side of the board. and covering IL
with grass and stones. and then hid
himself in order TO watch for the thief.
AT one o clock in the morning he heard
a noise at the rabbit-house. and was not
a little astoniShed to see two dogs in
stead OF man on the top OF it. One

on other occasions. never noticed his
smaller comrades. had evidently come

about the nocturnal rendezvous. The
big dog scratched away all the grass
and the stones. dragged up the board.
and let the terrier Jump through the
hole. The latter returned in few
minutes with rabbit in his mouth,
which he presented to his great friend.
and both proceeded to devour their sup

Gently. We put up at a iirst-class ho-
tel. and took rooms on the second floor.
II was very chilly evening when we
arrived. and | rang for the waiter. and
told him would ike 10 have lire in

friend was visiting some friends in the
city, and was left alone. After wat
ing TO hear something about the fire for
about fifteen minutes ] rang again, and
the waiter appearing | asked him if il
was not possible 10 have fire made
this evening. or must wait for some
other evening He told me that the
houseman was very busy, but he would
see. This was plain bid for fee. so
/ gave him mark and tod him 10 hur-
~ up with the fire. Three minutes later
the houseman appeared, and inside OF
ten minutes there was blazing fire
IN the room. The houseman stood ut
the door before retiring. and limited as
broadly as he could that he wanted n
fee. but paid no attention to him. He
went out and returned in few minutes
when he deliberately carried off the
hod Of coal which was intended to re-
plenish my fire. | rang again and the
waiter came. told him l must have
coal The houseman returned with the
coal, stood in the doorway and limited
for lee. and this time | was compelled
10 comply with his demand. | was
afraid that if ] refused TO fee him he
would carry off the stove. Before we
had retired that night we had feed the
chambermaid for bringing in a lamp in
stead of candle. We had feed two wait
ers. and we had feed the houseman.
Next morning Us we descended the
stairs We observed a PORTER pulling
bell string. He detained us in the
hallway for few seconds. and in the
meantime nearly all the employees of the
house gathered around us. They want
ed some more fees. and the PORTER
had pulled the bell-string so as to call
them together. We gave them triile
all around and left Ny friend. who
was born and bred in Leipsic. told me
then. what | have since learned from
actual experience, that this eggarly
system of doing business is common
throughout Central Europe. Why the
proprietors tolerate il is something do
not know, unless the fees are divided
with them afterward. The native Ger
mans are as thoroughly disguised with
the fee business as the strangers, and
almost as often victimized.
II may he thought by those who have
never had any experience of this kind.
that ii would not be very difficult
matter to refuse 10 pay fees unless You
wished To do so. Ii is not difficult.
You can refuse 10 pay fees unless you

Amber OF sSAenisA hwe is themost valu-

lar supposit;on that cloudy amber. is OF
more value than clear is not supported
by fact. Cloudy amber-is stronger. and
it obscures nicotine stains, ana is. there

prettier. and is always in demand. A
combination of green, black. clear and
cloudy amber in cigar-holder was ex-
hibi,ed to the reporter. 1t was beauti-
full and novel. Amber is readily worked
into shape with the aid of fine sand and
Furnishing wheels. 1t can be softened
by heat with the use of oil to keep il
from burning. and when ductile can be
bent as easily as horn. II is also sus-
ceptible of high polish.
Amber is principally expensive on
account of the waste in its manufacture

and various other compositions have
been found to be good and cheap SUBJ

demand for them. | find the greatest
variance in tastes for pipes between city

city man purchases pipe from
motives of economy. He wants good
pipe, and doesn't hesitate to purchase
meerschaum. Sometimes n city man
buys pipe because it has a novel shape,
but as rule a desire to economic

the use of pipe. Sooner or later, how

cigars. With a countryman things are
different. He buys pipe for daily use,

The word carat" used to express
the fneness of gold, is so called from an
Abyssinian bean, which from the time Of
its gathering varies very little in its
weight, and for this reason is used in
Africa as weight in gold, as it is in
India for gems and pearls. 1t is, with
us. an imaginary weight, used to express
the proportion of gold in given mass Of
metal. Thus, if an ounce of gold is
divided into "a parts or carats, then gold
20 carats fine is that in which twenty
parts are pure metal, and 4 parts silver,
copper or some other alloy.
