The Prohibitionists.
New York Sun.

Some silly republicans in Kansas
have been amusing themselves by
hanging and burning in efigy Mr..
John P. St. John, lately the prohibi-
ton candidate for President. If
they were sober they ought to know
that Mr.. st. John is not responsible
for the defeat of the republican par
ty, and that it is nobody's business
if he were. If they were drunk, and
this is tie most charitable view to
take Of their idiocy, it is evident
that a course of St. John and water
is the best thing in the world for
them.
But there are plenty of republi-
cans besides these foolish fellows in
Kansas whose wrath is mighty
against St. John and his republican
followers. We do not remember to
have seen that any republicans have
objected to democrats voting the
prohibition ticket, but that republi
cans should have done so they esteem
a sin and a shame. And so the poor
prohibitionists are abused right and
left.
For what? Simply because they
took the liberty of voting for a can
didate who represented their opin-
ions. The prohibitionists have one
advantage over both the democratic
and the republican parties. They
have a single, simple and definite
aim. Any young and small politi-
cal party has that advantage. The
bigger a party grows the more con-
cessions it has to make to various
shade of opinion among its own
members, and the more polite and
evasive do the utterances become up
on public questions as to which pub
lie opinion is known to be definitely
made up. The republican party can
not afford to favor liquor prohibition
because too many republicans are
opposed to it. Republican prohibi-
tionists who want to secure liquor
prohibition cannot expect to get 1t
from their own party or from the
democrats. They have been obliged
to found a party of their own. If
they expect to get prohibition, they
must vote the prohibition ticket, land
vote it at national elections. So
long as they voted that ticket in
state elections, and supported repub-
lican nominations in national cleo
lions, the republicans merely laughed
in their sleeves at them. The abuse
lavished upon them now shows the
prohibitionists that they are on the
right track.
1t wasn't the prohibitiOnists that
did the business this year, to be sure,
but they did their best, and are
probably as well pleased as the re-
publicans are scared. We don't be-
lieve that liquor prohibition is de-
sirable or practicable, but when peo-
pie want anything we like to see
them go to work, man fashion, to
get it, and this is what the prohibi-
ZIONIST are doing. Under st. John
of Kansas, or some other st. John,
they are likely to continue to make
trouble for the republicans, and the
democrats, too, for that matter.
1t is no use to abuse the st. John
men or any other men for voting as
they are minded.

If people troubled with colds
would take Ayers Cherry Pectoral
before going to church or places of

coughing, greatly to the comfort of
both speakers and hearers. Public

No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so triaed with by the majority of suffer-
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from trifing or unconscious ex-
posure, is often but the beginning of fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.

Ta8saaY E.EaaNs ABOUT
TOADS.

.:oh, papa, see what g great ugly
toad Do geta stick and kill him
before he gets away" said Tommy
Gray, as he vas walking in the gar
den With his father.
sWhy do you wish 10 see him
killed. said his father.
aoh! because he is such an ugly
thing, aud I am afraid he, will eat
Up everything in the garden. You
know ne killed several bugs and
worms which we found here last
evening, I am sure this toad is
much worse than they"
"Wo killed the bugs and worms
because they were destroying our
flowers and vegetables. This poor
toad never destroys e plant Of any
kind about the place. Besides, he
is one of our best friends. These
insects that are doing SO much
harm in your garden are just what
he uses for his food. I have no
doubt that he kills more OF them
every day than We did last evening
If you can fnd a live bug, place it
near him, and see what he will dc"
Tommy looked about, and soon
found three bugs, which he placed
near the toad, and then stood back
a short distance 70 see the result.
Soon the bugs began to move away.
The toad saw them, and made a
quick forward motion of his head.
He darted out his tongue, and IN
stantly drew them, one by one, into
his mouth. Tommy clapped his
hands with,delight,
@How can such a clumsy looking
fellow use his head and tongue so
nimbly?" said Tommy; and he ran
off to find more food for him.
The next evening Tommy went
again into the garden, and soon
found the object Of his search ready
for his supper. At first the toad
was shy, but he soon learned to
sit still while Tommy placed the
food near him. Then he would
dart out his tongue. and eat the
bugs while Tommy was close by.
Finding that the boy did not hurt
him, he soon lost all feas and be.

him Humpy, and says he would not
have him killed now for anything

CUTTING TIMBER.

An expert on timber, writing to
an exchange, says: Timber should
be cut during the fall of the sap.
When gonng leaves and fruit are
forming the sap is rising. As soon
as the leaves are fully formed and
the frait changes color, or in the
case Of pines fhe cone becomes ripe,
then IS The, time to commence : fell
ing, and continue doing so until
the Leaf buds begin to form again:
The rising Of she sap softens the
tinl5gY, which if felled when full of
sap is apt to. split in seasoning.
Resious woods, sRch as pine, form
by the ezudation Of resin at their
ens ends finn which prevents the
escape Of sap, hence It is best to.
strip the bark from pine logs as
soon as felIed. In the case of hard
wood i is best TO quarter the logs
through the center, as if left entire

TEE ABGMEsABLE SHIRT
COLLAR.

The shirt collar originated in
fraud and hypocrisy. In the days
when men first wore linen it came to
be the fashion to leave more or less
of that linen exposed at the neck
to prove the cleanliness Of that uu-
derneath. This naturally took the
form of the collar. Then a genius
caught on to the idea ofcutting out
a separate piece of linen in the
shape of the overhanging part and
affixing it to the top of the shirt.
These bits oflinen could be put on
clean very day, thus they thus CIV
en- the public the impression that
they represented the cleanliness Of
the unseen garment to which they
were attached. They were in effect
fraudulent certificates Of such clean
illness. Hence, the collar is but a
base subterfuge of ancient origin.
# IS as the gold wash on the pinch
.lSek jewelry, the rouge on a dead
complexion, or the vofuptuous
outline of a new pair of corsets.
Tie collar is a useful aid to the.
erasat in strangling the neck and
making it undaly sensitive to cold.
The collar did not attain its per-
fection of fraudulency and the
height of its iniquitous hypocrisy
until starch was invented to gloss
and stiffeni it. When this happened
mankind forgot that it vas cheat
The collar is an unmitigated nuis-
anee in bot weather, and of very
little protection in cold. 1t is a
JOY to the young man and a nu-
sianee to the old one.

TWO DoLLaRs AHEaD.

The adrop game is frequently
played by thieves in city banks.
While some customer of the bank
is counting the money which he has
drawn a stranger calls attention to
bill which has apparently been
dropped by the depositor. The
customer stopped to pick it up, and
on r'gaining his feet generally finds
some if notall the money which he
has been counting gone, together
with the stranger. The following
story is told Of how ex-senator
David Davis once outwitted a
would-be thief.
The Judge was making a deposit
at a Washington ban5:, and stood
counting large pile of money at a
desk. A well dressed young man
stepped up and, with bow and a
smile, said: Judge, you have drop
ped BILL" Sure enough, here lay
q clean, crisp, genuine tive dollar
billat tie depositofs feet. THANK
you" blandly answered the judge
placing his ponderous right boot
over tie bill on the floor, and calm
y resuming his counting. The
sharper, taken aback by the coolness
of the proceeding, disappeared, and
the Judge was 81 ahead by the
transaction.

WHERE GARDENING PAYS.

The farmer can readily raise q
large share Of the garden vegetables
in demand in places of moderate
Size. Lei the farmsr who would
undertake to raise crops more pro-
ftabls than the staple farm pro-.
duets, begin With those most easily
produced, and gradually work his
way to those which are most pro,
fsable. In a town where there are
factories enploying numbers OF
foreign Workmen, cabbages are al,
ways in demand, and the earlier
they ere, the better the price they
viii bring. Most farmer gov late
cabbages; to raise early kinds, he
aust either SOW the seed in the
fall and keep the plants through
the winter in q cold frame, or SOW
IN early spring in . hot bed and
forward the plants TO be ready to
SET as when the ground IS in con
dition: Either method is out Of
the usual way Of farming, but there
is nothing about It that can not be
readily learned. onionsare always
in demand; If ths bulbs are punched
and sold while two-thirds grown,
The crop is a very profitable one.
Sweet corn IS as readily raised as
Geld corn, and when the ears are
off, tie stalks are in excellent con-
dision to cure for fodder; these will
Pay the cost Of cultivation; leaving
what is received for The ears clear
profit. Green peas and string
beans are easily raised, and if pick
ers are at hand, will pay well, as
VIII new potatoes, beets, etc. The
crops here suggested, with the ex-
ception Of early cabbages, are as
easily raised as ordinary farm crops.
Il will be well for those near . local
marketso make q trial of these at
first and gradually increase the
list Farm gardening offers a
ready relief 70 thosewho find that
tanning does not pay" and those
--wino need TO grow more profitable
crops should look into its possibih-
ties. The works Of Henderson,
Harris. Brill, and Quinn, each give
yalnable aid to the cultiyator.
Success will, in part, depend upon
locality, supply of manure, quality
Of seed, and the character of the
market; bnt the probabilities are
greatly in favor of a profitable re-
turn from well conducted farm
garden.-Dr. Thurber, u, Ameican
