Still Undetermined on the Whisky
Question.

Our contemporary, this week, has this to
say on the high license question:
uOur contemporary thinks we are incon-
sisteut, We never try to deprive any man of
his opinion, III permit us to say our contem-
porsryfs mistaken. Bygarbling extracts from
one article and putting them in contrast with
others it is an easy matter to show . differ

high-license question"
To ssgarble' means to change or deface or
mutilate in some way the expressions taken
from the speech or writing Of another. Our
contemporary does not intend to say that we
did such a dishonorable thing as that, as the
assertion would be untrue. We quoted entire
two extracts from its columns, word for word
as they appeared there. If they were con-
Trajectory of each other it was not our fault.
Now, we protest that we are not fully aware
of the Registers position on the prohibition
and high license question: To enlighten US

er the Register is zone of these or one Of those.
paper by informing it that we have always
looked upon the high license as passed by our
democratic legislature to be an outrage on
poor saloon keepers and q blessing to the rich
ones. The former are thrown out of busi-
ness entirely while the latter are going to get
rich faster han ever"
We hope that our contemporary does not
take the narrow view of the liquor question
indicated in the above, viz: that 1t Is to be
considered solely as 1t may affect the interests
of the "poor' or erich" saloon keepers. Its
declaration is 40 declaration ut all. The Ques-
lions are these, and it should not try to evade
them: Is it for or against prohibition: Is it
for high or low license? We infer that it is
opposed to prohibition and in favor Of low
license, but 1t has not directly so stated. If
1t occupies these positions why eau It not so

Mr.. John Thompson, the driver Of Mr..
Kerdolf's deli cry wagon feels that injustice
has been done him in the account we gave
last week Of the accident to Mr.. Chinn's mare.
Mr.. Thompson says, that In coming through
the alley he got quite close to the mare and
buggy before he noticed them. Then he pull
ed as far to the LETT as Mr.. Rnssells fence
would allow, thinking that he could pass,
tut his front hub caught in the hind wheel
of the buggy. Seeing that he could not pass,
he backed his team, intending to get down
and lift the buggy over to the right, but when
his team began backing they came too fast,
and fearing that the breast-yoke would catch

struck one Of his mules q smart blow with
the whip. The cracking Of the whip caused
the mare to jump forward about eighteen
inches, which gave him plenty Of room to
pass. He passed, and delivered -four, bran
and meal at Mrs. Taubman's stopping his
wagon Immediately in front Of the buggy and
mare. He was several minutes engaged In
thia. and when he started off The mare wac
standing exactly where he first saw her. He
says that she might have broken the hitch
rein when she jumped from his whip, but II
so he did not notice 1t. BE also noticed a
buggy sheet hanging from her names, and
wondered if she would not scare at it. The
article last week was written from the most
direct information, and with no intention Of
doing any injustice. II Mr.. Thompson was
guilty Of gross negligence, he deserved cen,
sure, but his statement puts new light on tn,
matter and we believe hat 10 has given s tru,

tached in the middle, just where he wants
the honey made, but he compels the bees to
make each piece straight, uniform, of the
same shape and nearly. of the same weight.
Mr.. Lanes hive and general process of pro-
ducing honey is unique and well worthy of
study. His comb honey is beautiful and as
handy as it could possibly be prepared for the
trade. When there is plenty of bloom the
bees will fill a hive and the small boxes above
in from IS to % or % days. OF course, man
ipulated as they are, much honey can be TAX
en- from the hives. DR.. Young's process OF
doing this is new and very valuable. Accord
ing to the old order of things d hive was
"robbed, p literally, the comb. with all its dead
bees, bee bread, dirt, &c. was pressed, and
the result was strained honey and discolored
bees-wax. Instead of doing this the doctor
now extracts from the comb the pure honey,
with none of the above impurities in it. Each
frame is-taken from the hive; with a knife
the ends Of the cells are carefully cut off, W
frames are placed in a centrifugal extractor,
which by rapid revolution extracts all of the
honey from the cells, but with such ease of
motion as to leave all the dirt, bee -bread,
dead bees, &c, still attached to the comb.
After this process the comb is almost intact.
1t is placed back in the hives and the bees
have just that much work done for them on
their start for a new hive full of honey. This
extracted honey is so much clearer, cleaner,
purer, and in every way nicer than strained
honey that it went do to mention them in
the same day. The way the doctor is liked
it does appear as if he could produce enough
honey for the whole community and some to
ship abroad. Its quality is unsurpassed any
! where, and is not approached by any but the
most advanced apiarists. Mr.. C. F. Lane, his
bee-keeper, formerly of Rock county, Wis,
san expert in the business, and, together,
both being enthusiasts they leave nothing UNI
done to keep. at the front. Any one, any.
where, wanting the finest honey that can be
made, will do well to address DR.. Geo. W
Young, Lexington, Mo. His bees are Italians,
and he raises his own queens.

Great care should be taken in seed

they will inevitably be covered with

each way, gives a good stand Toledo

"A small economy, but one not to be
despised, especially in large families, is
to save bits of toilet soap when they

half pint is collected, put in a bowl,
add boiling water and stir. Set away,
and, as it evaporates add little boiling
water and stir well. Do this every
day till all the, Jumps have disappeared.
Then add a few drops Of oil Of CHINA

and leave it to mold. After two or
three days turn it out and leave to dry.
The result will be an acceptable toilet

A Mile a Minute on a Locomotive.

Think OF a man getting seasick from
riding on q locomotive engine said
Counselor Farley who last week shot
down from Philadelphia to Atlantic
City at the rate of more than a mile a
minute to reach the bedside of dying
child. .Seasickness' is, of course, not
the term to apply to the disorder, but
that expresses it better than any other
name that I can think OF. Ny ride
created the same feeling of wretched-
ness that a few hours on the ocean al
ways gives me, only, instead of its be-
ing caused by the rolling Of vessel, it
was brought on by the pitching and
tossing of the locomotive.
81 received a telegram telling me OF
my child's condition about two in the
afternoon. Every moment after that
second seemed an hour. 1realized how
extreme was the danger, for had been
up for several nights with the little one.

There was nothing but the locomotive,
and sat in with the engineer. Dis
patches were sent ahead ordering all
regular trains to run for sidings and re-
main until the engine passed. Wewere
about minute getting out of the built
up part of Camden Then we flew, but
no rate could be too fast for me. AS
we rushed along, we enyeloped ourselves
in cloud of dust that was so thick at
times that [ could not see half a dozen
yards ahead The whistle screamed a
note of warning almost every second.
Indeed, it seemed to my excited mind
that it was all one wild shrek, exte nd.
ing from the Delaware to the sea. After
we had gone q few miles the engine be-
gan to pitch and toss, and as the speed
increased the motion grew more violent.
Now we seemed to drop into gulf,
then to rear into the air, and, again, as
quick as thought, to be in the act of
leaping into a creek. The trees and
fields and houses were like a long,
black, waving streak. began to feel
faint ands dizzy, and if it had not been
for the rushing wind fear l. must have
sWooned in that terrible cab. The en-
gineer was perfectly cool. He after
ward declared that never before had he
gone at SO high a rate Of speed for so
great q distances. I told him of my
feeling of sickness. Yes he said, I
have heard old railroad men tell how
had been made seasick by
fast riding. but / never saw it before
When we struck the meadows and I got
a Whit, of salt air I braced up a bit, but
I felt queer and unsteady on my legs,
even after we had reached the station
and T had alighted. felt as if Z had
just come in from a rough sea voyage.
But was in time. | once more saw
the light Of my chila's eyes, fading fast,
indeed, but still instinct with life, and
