Prohibition Prohibits in vineland

In 1861 the Legislature of New Jersey
granted Vineland a local option law
Under this law in 1874. 753 votes were
cast; of these 742 were for No License
and IL for License. The township il
ten miles long and eight miles wide, and
the population in 1874 was IL 900. At
the start the valuation of the town was
1928, 500. In 1874 it was 81, 500, 900, with
taxes $3.50 on $1,000. There was no
lookup, Jail, house of correction, court,
police, or fire department in town.
Having no grog-shops, none of these
agencies were needed. In 1873, an agens
of the Massachusetts Alliance visited
Vineland, and also New Britain, Conr..
and collected statistics, the population
of the places being about the same.

A oneer Disease.

Attention has lately been drawn to .
disease met in Siberia, known to the
Russians by the name of "Miryachit I"
The person affected seems compelled
to initiate anything he hears or sees.
and an Interesting account is given OF
a steward, who was reduced to per-
feet state of misery By his inability to
avoid Initiating everything he heard or
saw. One day the captain OF the
steamer, running up to him, suddenly
clasping his hands at the same time,
accidentally slipped, and fell hard on
the deck. Without having been
touched, the steward instantly clapped
his hands and shouted; then, IN help
less imitation, he too fell as hard and
almost precisely In the same manner
and position as the captain. This
disease has been met with in Java,
where it is known as .Lata In the
case Of female servant who had the
same irresistible tendency to initiate,
one day at dessert her mistress, wish
ing TO exhibit this peculiarity, and
catching the Woman's eye suddenly
reached across the table. and, seizing 3
large French plum. made pretense to
swallow it whole. The woman rushed
ct the dish and put q plum In her
mouth, and, after severe choking and
semi-asphyxia, succeeded IN swallow
ing it. but her mistress never tried the
experiment again.

The Mind Baths or Europe,

In Austria they excavate a marsh
where decaying vegetable mold and
water is in abundance, cart it to the
bath-house. grind it in a mill, and pass
it into a large tank, where it is mixed
with water and heated by steam.
From the tank it is drawn off into
portable bath tubs, where it is again
mixed, more water added and the tenn
perature brought to the desired grade.
Then it is wheeled into the bathroom,
and the unfortunate bather plunges
into a black, bad-smelling mixture,
where he remains from twenty min.
utes to half ain hour, when he steps
into a second tub, full of pure water,
to cleanse himself. The mud is too
precious to be wasted, so after being
used it is deposited in a great heap,
where it is said to remain ten years be-
fore it will be fit for use a second
time. The mud bath is popularity be-
ieved to be very beneficial in all cases
"a yeritable cure-alI. Thephysicians
questioned on the subject were -un-
willing to commit themselves as to its
indications and effects, except in the
case of hypochondriacs, with one ex-
ception, and he said where a poultice
for the whole body was necessary he
knew of no more convenient way of
applying it.

White found it lying upward, open at

vii, while a large piece Of rich quartz,
which had been dislodgei by its fall.

seventh verse, SO familiar to all Chris

Clocks. Ancient and Modern.

Clocks were first made blythe Arabs,
and the ancient cities of Bagdad and
Cordova were at one time famous for
their OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES machines.
The Caucasian race, which has since
spread its learning and civilization over
so vast IN area, first looked upon the
clock as a joint product of Arab and the
devil. AMI in fact it SO regarded every
invention and all scientific attainments
of the then progressive Arabs. This
and the further fact that clocks were at
first very costly prevented an early
and widespread introduction of them
in Europe. The m%onasteries first used
them to direct the monks in prayer,
and afterward they were put on tall
steeples and towers in larger towns to
accommodate the public.
When first put up in Europe clocks
were regarded with superstitious fear,
and as the most wonderful Of inven-
tions. The first public clock put up of
which we have any record was at
Padua, Italy. Bologna possessed q
famous striking clock as early as 1856,
but the large towns in Germany and
France did not begin to put up tower
or steeple clocks until about AGO.
Paris, however, had a public clock as
early as 1864. Kensington museum,
London, boasts a clock that was made
by a monk for Glastonbury abbey in
1926, and which, strangeto say, is still
keeping time.
There have been many wonderful
and ingenious improvements added to
the modern clock AMI the tower or
steeple timekeeper Of to-day is much
handsomer and stronger than the
ancient public clock. In Trinity church
steeple, New York, there is a clock the
hand or crank of which has to be
turned $50 times in winding up. There
are several other very strong clocks in
the United States and in Europe, at
Strasburg, Heidelberg and elsewhere
there are some very ingenious and
complicated timekeeping machines.
