IN GREAT STRAITS.

A new method has been adopted at Atlantic
City for getting signers to application for IL
cense to sell intoxicating drinks The whls-
key men bought patch of about five acres OF
meadow or marsh land in the vicinity OF the
city and have decided it to over fourteen hun
dred different people so as to have at their ell
bow an ample supply of freeholders.
The residences of the people thus made
freeholders at Atlantic City are scattered, it is
said from Beersheba to Dan, and their ages
and sex vary, even young girls having been
made freeholders by this wide-awake trans
action in real estate. The story goes on to
say that getting signers to applications had
become rather expensive affair, like 1t some
times is for candidates running for office to
get votes. and for the same reason. 1t is even
said that some freeholders held off for time
with an eye to stiffening prices. The device
above noted seems to have been resorted to
by the hotel and saloon men to protect them
selves against extortion from signers. If the
points thus stated in the story be true 1t
would appear that freeholders are growing I'M
willing to help set up hotels and saloons
gratis, but are beginning to want to share
somewhat in the profits of the whiskey trade
and are resorting in some places to measures
to make their co-laborers "shell out" Why
not ? the hotel-keeper could not go on with
the business, or even start in it If the free
holders did not set him up. His labor in
running the business is very light, and why
should he have all the profits of business
be could not set up nor continue without their
aid
Why should he lead an easy life indoors
and pocket all the vast proceeds, while the
freeholders toll hard in the field in the sun to
make living by tilling the soil and get no
income from the remunerative hotel which
they have joined with him to set up? The
thing is not equitable. The hotel-keepers
ought to divide with the freeholders. It's
not the fair thing for one man to put in his
own pocket all the profits of a business run
by thirteen men, all having therein about an
equal responsibility. These keen-sighted At
lantic City freeholders aforesaid appear to be
beginning to see it somewhat in that light,
and the equally wide-awake hotel and saloon
men appear, in consequence, to be engaged
in flank movement on the position taken by
said freeholders by manufacturing sufficient
quantity of freeholders of their own. The
whole party should 60 in bathing often.

man cannot engage in it, neither can good
man have any sympathy with it. The traffic
can neither be regulated, circumscribed nor
improved, except as the farmer proposed to
reform the mad dog by cutting his tail off
just behind the ears. AS the liquor question
is politico- moral we will apply the principles
of the Bible to it. The inspired writer says:
''The axe is laid unto the roots of the trees,
and every tree that bringeth not forth good
fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire."
The tree of alcoholic poison does not bring
forth good fruit on the contrary, its fruit is
evil, only evil and that continually. The
removal of the liquor traffic is the end that all
good men desire to accomplish, and this can
only be done in free country by the use of
the ballot. Vote as you pray and your
prayers will be answered. Your prayers will
not move other people to vote right unless
you vote right yourself. Your voting shows
what your praying is worth
We have high license in Camden; let the
righteous shout, for the year of jubilee is
come. The liquor traffic is no longer an evil;
it has become great good. The millennium
has come; the lion and the lamb will now lie
down together albeit the lamb may get up in
side of the lion What wonderful transfer
nation Drunkenness is now an evil of the
past; the police force is to be reduced, and
good rumselers are already asking to be
protected from the bad men who will continue
to sell without license. The occupation of
Rodolphus Bingham is gone the good rum
sellers will compel the council to close up all
illegal dramshops. The day of election and
reprobation has surely come. The man who
can pour 1913 into the treasury may take his
place among the elect, and the man without
money must take his stand with the repro
bate. High license is to work miracles; it
will not only turn water into wine, but it will
turn poison into good moral beverage. Hail
happy day of high license. Sound the tim
brel, blow the bugle, and let the big bass
drum be heard. We want to warn temper
ance people not to call man drunk who may
hereafter be seen staggering on the streets.
The cause must be traced to some other evil.
High license rum will not make men drunk it
is just as harmless as water. We are so glad
that our city is safe. All the rumsellers are
good men and they are earning money as fast
as they can to help pay our city expenses.
The mayor will now be lonesome man; his
Monday morning levees are ended. There will
be no more drunken men and women on Sun
day, for the rumseller will join the church
and keep the fourth commandment.

II am inclined to think" said Mr.. Walter
Beasant, in his recent lecture on the cart of
fiction" that few of the nineteenth century
novelists will never be suffered to die, though
they may be remembered principally for one
book-that Thackeray will be remembered for
his Vanity Fair, Dickens for David Cop
perfeld, George Meredith for the Ordeal of
Richard Feveril, George Eliot for Silas
Mariner Charles Reade for the Cloister and
the Hearth, and Blackmore for his Lorna
Doone. Ought we not to be full of hope for
the future when such women as Mrs Oliphant
and Mrs. Thackeray Richie write for us
when such men as Meredith, Blackmore,
Black, Payn and Hardy are at their best, and
such men as Louis Stevenson Christie Muir
ray, Clark Russell and Herman Merivale have
just begun? I think the fiction, and, indeed,
all the imaginary work of the future, will be
far fuller in human interest than in the past. F"

The discovery that diamonds are
phosphorescent was made in 1853 by
Robert Boyle and created a great ssnsa-
ton. A diamond was shown that looked
like burning coal in a perfectly dark
room. An old chemist of Hamburg
while trying to manufacture gold
fluid made accidentally sub
stance that shone in the dark,
and in a delirium of delight he went to
the chemist, John George II. of Saxony,
thinking that he had discovered the
golden secret. He took care, however,
not to inform anyone how it was made.
Another chemist hearing of the discovery
aveled long distance for these times
and succeeded in buying the secret for
about 5000 of our money. But his ex-
periments were not successful, the mate
rial being merely PHOSPHORUS that was
discovered in this way. Later, in 1895,
n different phosphorescence was discov-
cred by calciming nitrate of lime, and
others soon followed, until now hundreds
of different methods of its manufacture
are known.
''Heat in some mysterious way de-
velops light in certain minerals; thus
feldspar, lime, sulphuret of calcium, dia
monds, ETC., when heated to a certain
degree give out a soft, phosphorescent
CLEAN over their entire surface. In fact,
the luminous property is possessed by
everything-plants, insects, minerals,
and even the very air often shows re-
markable exhibitions. Some years ago 1
was travelling on horseback at nighS near
Trenton, New Jersey, when a sudden
rain-storm came up and ip minute was
completely surrounded in blaze of light.
You would have thought the liquid fire
was being poured over me. The trees,

The Water LiIY's Story.

When first opened my eyes to the
daylight was in a lovely place. My
home was beautiful pond, whose waters
were so clear they reflected the blue sky
and leecy clouds overhead, and where
everything was still and calm and quiet;
was surrounded by fair companions
each as lovely as myself. We grew
fairer and sweeter every day, and we
thought ourselves better than the COM
mon flowers that grew on the farther
side of the pond, the Daisies, the Blue
Violets, Adders' Tongues that queer
fellow, Jack in the Pulpit, and the Wild
Rose, who was so rude if any one
touched her. Were we not tall and
slender fair and sweet of face. and did
not our green dresses become our fair
compilations wonderfully Were we
not admired by every one who saw us;
and more than all, did not our mirror,
the pond, tell us we were beautiful
every time we glanced in itl Yesterday
there came to our pleasant home gay
pleasure boat with party of ladies and
gentleman: the ladies all exclaimed, as
soon as they saw us, "Oh, how sweet,
how lovelym and one, whose face was
like an angels, reached over and took
me and several OF my companions into
the boat with them. The other ladies
gathered some of my fair sisters, and we
were all carried away to our new and
separate homes. The lady that and my
sisters were with took us to grand
house on hill, where we were again adj
mired and our fragrance inhaled, and at

and as he did so, he bent and whispered
something in her ear, and then kissed the
rosy lips that looked so tempting. The
warm bloom rose 10 her cheek, and /
thought never had beheld anything so
beautiful. | missed my old home and
my pretty mates, but felt sure | had
fallen into good hands, and felt proud
in having so beautiful mistress and
being so admired. Whenmy mistress came
home and looked in the mirror she saw
my dropping head, for the heat in the
ballroom had made me faint and Ian
guild She took me from her hair, and
said tenderly, as she held me in her
hand, "POOr wilted lily, I'm sorry you
faded so soon" Then she put me in a
vase OF water, which refreshed and
strengthened me. and this morning when
she looked at me my white petals were
open once more, which made her excaim:
"Ah, my pretty lily, you are alive yet
amt you. But have lost some OF my
fragrance, and know that before the
sun sets | shall be dead, for the life Of
lily is very frail. They say this is a cold
world, but my lines have fallen in pleas

A LiIIiputlan LocomotiYe.

One of the finest exhibitions of the
patient ingenuity of skilled mechanics
is perfect reproduction of a locomotive
made by Mr., Case, matchmaker of
Franklin, Penn. From the point of the
w-catcher to the end of the tank it is
six and one fourth inches long and weighs
two pounds. 1t is finished in gold, sill
yer and steel, and to the most minute
part is a perfect locomotive. Mr.. Case
has spent four years in building it, 1t
makes its own steam, pumps water into
the boiler has throttle valve, bell sand
box and, in fact, lacks nothing found in
a tirst-cass locomotive. Many loeomo-
tive engineers have examined it and they

This world is full Of people, who

Who, if they chance to buy house,
Wish always they had rented.
Or, if they have one kind Of name,
They wish they had another,
And when they have a sister eomes
They wish it were a brother.
Just such one was Mary Green,
Whose life was out Of jingle;
She thought she must become a wife,
She'd ne'er be happy single.
She didn't like the name Of t6reen,
And wanted something BETTER
So both her parents let her try

Thus Mary Green gave up her name,
And took that of her master;
