good story of Landlord Roberts, who kept
the first hotel at Bar Harbor, some 80
years ago. He woke up one night by
hearing some one travel about the house,
and lighting a candle, found one Of his
guests in full shirt dress, wandering
through the rooms. "What do you
want ," said Roberts. 81 want to find
the hen pen" said the man. What in

"A new way Of dressing wounds,
which was discovered by accident, has
been introduced in the clinic of Prof. Es-
march, at Kiel, by DR.. Neuberg. Two
years ago there appeared at the clinic
laborer who had sustained a compound
fracture of the forearm eight or ten days
before, with considerable liberation. He
had got comrade to surround the whole
forearm al once with thick paste Of
peat mould, on which was laid rough
splint of wood When he came to the
clinic he was in good general health, and,
on clearing of the mould, the doctor
found the wound to be healing beautiful
ly, without any sign Of suppuration. DR..
Neuberg was led by this experience to
investigate the properties Of peat mould,
and his conclusion is that it is peculiarly
valuable for the purpose Of dressing
wounds, chiefly because of its great pow
er of absorbing the products of decom.
position.

THE FIGHT is on Us.
BY JUSTIN d. FULTON, DID.

In this land there is q momentous con-
dict going on for and against temperance.
1t is battle. The standard-bearers have
done paying compliments. Both sides
mean business.
In Brooklyn as elsewhere, and else
where as in Brooklyn, blows are given
and blows are taken. So long as tenn
perance men prayed and talked about
the peril of men who drank to excess and
did nothing more, all was quiet on the
Potomac. But the moment citizens
leagues determined that in New York
the Penal Code should be enforced, then
it became perilous to sell liquor on the
Sabbath and to minors, and the fight be-
gan. The men VINO dared expose the
enormities practiced who asked that lit
tie children be protected, and that the
men and women in Jail be defended, have
found themselves held up as objects Of
opprobrium and ridicule, That is not
the worst of it.
The men who were elected to do just
such work as needs to be done, evade and
shirk responsibility by saying, "You can
not enforce the law, because public SEN
timent is weak" Talk about the chill
dren going to rum-shops for drink, and
they tell you "they go as agents" The
law says nothing about agents, but about
the act, and declares that they shall not
enter such places or be permitted to pur-
chase liquor for parents, friends or guar
dians. Last and not least, Republicans
come and say, Don't do such things.
If you do defeat is certain" What is q
Republican good for who Is afraid to act ?
Is Republican dead lion better than a
fearless Democratic dog
In the West this fight is on our people.
Ohio Republicans have taken ground
against Prohibition. In Iowa many
would like to do it. In Illinois, " High
Licenses" are the order Of the day, and
the dream is that if we make liquor
drinking respectable and expensive, we
will decrease the quantity sold or drank.
Far from it. We drive it out Of the
slums and away from the poor into club
houses and elegant hotels, and make rum
drinking. as far as law and public senti-
ment can do it. respectable. The trouble
is we try and try and try to whip the
devil around the stump and wonder th q
he does not lie down and be quiet. The
devil cannot afford to lie down and be
quiet. As in the days of Job, 80 now, " he
is going up and down the earth ant
is keeping company with the sons o
God"
What is the fight? It is for total ab.
stinence for the individual and prohibi-
ton for the State. Oh, that all could
see eye to eye and stand up manfally fol

is bad, and held fast to such evil prac-
tees and wicked men and abhorrent in.
situations, by associations and interests,
that unity of effort and singleness Of aim
is an impossibility. In Illinois and in
the West the Catholic priesthood are do

up to the platform Of Neal Dow. When
will they get up. The question is hard

INDICTMENT OF KING ALCOHOL
The history of King Alcohol is his.
tory Of shame and corruption, Of cruelt!
and crime, Of rage and ruin.
He has taken the glow of health from
the cheek, and placed there the reddish
hue Of the wine cup.
He has taken the lustre from the eye,
and made it dim and bloodshot.
He has taken beauty and comeliness
from the face, and left it ill-shapen and
bloated.
He has taken strength from the limbs,
and made them weak and lettering.
He has taken frmness and elasticity
from the step, and made It faltering and
treacherous.
He has taken vigor from the arm, and
left fiabbiness and weakness.
He has taken vitality from the blood,
and filled it with poison and the seeds of
disease and death.
He has transformed this body, fear
fully and wonderfully made, Gods mas
terpiece Of mechanism, into vile, loath-
some, sinking mass Of humanity.
He has entered the brain, the temple
Of thought, dethroned reason, and made
it reel with folly.
He has taken the beam of intelligence
from out Of the eye, and left in ex-
change the stupid stare Of idiocy and
dullness.
He has taken the impress Of ennobled
manhood from the face. and left the mark
of sensuality and brutishness.
He has taken cunning from the hands,
and turned them from deeds Of usefulness
to become instruments Of brutality and
murder,
He has broken the ties Of friendship. and
planted the seeds Of enmity.
He has made the kind, indulgent faith
er q brute, tyrant, murderer.
He has transformed the kind and af-
fectionate mother into very fend Of
british incarnation.
He has made obedient sons and daugh-
tiers the breakers Of hearts and the de-
stroyers of homes.
He has taken the luxuries from off the
table, and compelled men to cry out on
account Of famine, and to beg for bread.
He has stolen mems palaces, and given
them novels in exchange.
He has robbed men of valuable acres,
and given them not even . decent burial

He has filled our streets and highways
with violence and lawlessness.
Hehas complicated our laws and crowd
ed our courts.
He has filed to OVERLOOKING houses Of
correction and penitentiaries.
He has peopled with his multitudes

He has straitened Us for room In our

He has taken away faith, hope, and

of wickedness.
He has banished Christ from the heart,
and created hell within it.
He has wrecked and enfeebled the

These are counts of the indictment.

"Here We are having warm westher
as wen a. the folks in Gotham; but here
we are. rich or poor, without ice or other
luxuries to keep Us cool. To drink ice
water, II we had It, would be dangerous,
yet we cannot drink the fresh warm river
water or hor stagnant puddle water. To
obviate the difficulty we cover pals, can
teens and jugs with one or two thicknesses
of blanket, fill the vessel, saturate the
blanket, and hang the whole in q draush-

is the result. Let the poor in New

WHIsrLING FOR BAIr.-A correspou-
dent Of the London Globe says that it Is
the custom Of the fishermen Of Ceylon
to whistle for their bait. On recent
visit to that island he saw the way in
which it was done. The fisherman run
down some yards to meet an advancing
wave, sgitated the water, and probably
the sand also, with the finger Of one
hand, and then ran backward, whistling
all the time 4; when the wave retired he
followed its retreat, and seemed almost
invariably to find q long worm left on
the sand At the point where be had agi-
tated the water. On being questioned
relative to this singular procedure, one
native replied that his whistling acted as
charm to the worms, and caused them
to rise to the surface.
