PERHAPS the most knotty problem
which conironts prohibitionisis is the
failure of prohibition in the State Of

originated. II hus failed in two ways.

Second, the latest returns of the United

that there is one license 10 sell liquor
for every ono hundred and fifty inhabi-

which the English are religious. The

The Orthodox Paradise.

The true and Orthodox terrestrial PARA.
disc Of the Middle Ages lay, not across
the mysterious Western ocean, but in
the equally mysterious lands of the sum
rising. IL WAS universally identified
with the Garden of Eden, in winch
Adam aud Eve had been placed; and it
was therefore impossible to seek 1t in
any other quarter than the East. Now,
in medieval times tho limits OF the
known world were unshrnnken far
within the boundaries known to
the later Roman geographers, Ptol-
emy, Strabo, aud their fellows. In
the twelfth or thirteenth century the
W,s,eln world knew almost exactly as
much, or rather as little, Of Asia AS
lerodvtus had known 1900 years before.
The very stories which the father OF his
tory related of Indians aud gold produc.
lug ants, OF griitins and ArImaspi, had
returned To treir old localities in Cen
tral Asia, though in Roman days they
had for some time continually receded
further aud further into the unknown
Northeast. Nov, agalD, as in the fifth
century before CHRIST, men beloved
that beyond an India of no great ex-
tent there lay no more inhabited lands,
but only desert and sea. But, unlike
the ancients, the me lievals p.a ,ed in the
furthest part of this region the earthly
paradise, either as M oasis in all ex-
panse OF rocks and sands or az an island
IN an unnavigable ocean. Sometimes
we read of it as accessible by reason OF
lands of mist and darkness, or insur.
mountable precipices; sometimes it is
tempestuous seas and rivers which bar
the way. But beyond them, if man
could but penetrate, lie would find tue
Eden where our first father had dwelt,
where rise the four mysterious rivers,
and where grows every tree that is
pleasant to the sight or good ior food.
There" says Neckani, ''is beauti.
ful land where whole tracts are over
grown with the noble vine; there are
clear springs and groves watered with
pleasant streams. Glorious is the fruit
which enriches its gardens, and no st,r
lie tree can grow in lis soil. Never do
storms come near it, nor violent winds,
but theie always blows gentle breeze.
Thither never came the waters of the
all-dcstroying flood"

whose aim seems to be to raise
q horse that will sell for thousand

Thomas Merry in the Breeder 4

the FLIES of that cross to . we'll

In this way good-size and ability to

of the little fifteen-hand horse that
can squirt fer two or three miles in

ed the big and rugged horses Of the

and trot nearly as fast as with two.
There is a splendid opening in Ne
vada for this method of breeding
coach horses, and they can invari-
ably be sold at q profit, as they
will require but little training. A
man breeds for trotters, and gets
one in twenty which he can sell for
$500; after spending 81 500 to de-
velope him. Let the same man
breed coach horses on the above
formula, and he can sell the whole
twenty for $500 each. without
spending over $780,"
