English temperance drinks must be
delightful beverages. Not long ago a
Yorkshire chemist was held up for sell
ing decoction Of methylated spirits,
cardamons and ginger, which he cum
ningly called 8 the teetotaler's night
cap So many people took to wear
ing his ''nightcaps,' that an enterprise
ing manufacturer bethought him Of q
rousing mixture to counterfeit the eff
feet. He called his competitive drink
ginger beer. but it was found to con-
tain lead and copper. An analyst
writes Of it: This sample contains a
very notable quantity Of lead, about II
grains to the imperial gallon" hegoes
on to say that taken habitually and be
it noted that people who drink these
things drink them habitually. taken
habitually severe and even fatal symp-
toms Of lead poisoning might ensue.'
Another ginger beer contained nearly
three grains of lead per gallon, "a
highly dangerous proportion says the
chemist.

The Veto.

1t would be gain for clearness of
thought if the word veto could be ban
ished from political discussion on both
sides of the ocean. The use of that
word gives false conception of the
position of king, president, house Of
lords, any person Or assembly to which
It is commonly applied. The word
veto is in place when one power of the
state whose active consent is not neces-
sary to an act has the purely negative
power OF stepping in to forbid that act.
1t is from the intercession of the Ro-
man tribune that the whole notion of
veto comes. The tribune had strictly
a veto. His consent was not needed
to an act of the magistrates, of the sem
ate, or Of the popular assembly; If he
held his peace the act took effect, but
he had the power of stepping in with
his veto to hinder any act of any of
them from taking effect.
The principle of the Hberuns veto
which belonged to each member of the
Polish diet was much the same. But
the English king has iii Theory, the
American president has in practice,
something more than mere veto. The
active consent of the king in all cases,
the active consent of the president in
all but one specified case, is needed
for all legislative acts of both houses.
The king or president never stands by,
as the Roman tribune did whenever he
held his peace, and sees the acts of the
the other powers take effect without
any reference to him. Still less does
the word apply to the action of co-ordi-
nate houses toward one another.
If we say that the lords have a veto
on the acts of the commons, we must
also say that the commons have a veto
on the acts of the lords. But in truth
the word is misapplied in both cases.
1t is not that either house has power
of stepping in to forbid the acts of the
other house which otherwise would
take effect; the two houses are co-or-
dinate; neither can carry anything into
effect without the help Of the other;
each needs the others active consent
to every act of legislation and to some
others. There is indeed a real power
of veto in those cases where certain adj
ministrative acts are laid on the table.
of both houses which acts take effect
unless either house addresses the crown
against them.
But in the case Of ordinary legisla-
ton the word is misapplied,. and TO
speak of "the veto of the house OF
lords, while we never speak of 1.-The
veto of the house of commons puts
the house of lords in a, needlessly in
yidious light. But when we have re-
formed our "other< house, we. may per-
haps find something for it to do besides
simply reconsidering acts of the com
mons. 1t has been often remarked
that certain kinds of questions, when
the lords can be got to forego their
dinners to discuss them at all, get bet
ter discussed in the lords than in the
commons. In reformed "other
house, many more measures might be
brought in than are brought in in the
present house of lords. - freeman, IN

Elephantine Intelligence.

On one occasion arranged with
mahout to bring up his elephant where
! was standing, that I might indicate
the work to be done, the mahout to be
absolutely silent. Standing by six
foot log, ] beckoned to the mahout, and
up came the elephant. Arrived at the
spot, and being without chains, he
must have opined that dragging was
not intended, There remained, then,
pushing or carrying, the latter opera
ton being the one which the sagacious
creature saw was intended, for he pro-
ceeded at once with his awkward prep
arations for carrying it away. Through
out this test the mahout was absolutely
silent, and, as far as could see, quite
passive. The result of it was that the
elephant OWNED what I, stranger,
wished it to do, and did it.
On another occasion I applied the
test to q difficult object, an eighteen
inch cube of teak, which the dear old
fellow at once arranged to carry off;
but how to do it he could not at first
determine. AS his tusks diverged more
than eighteen inches, they were no
support, and the many sharp corners
OF the cube sorely tried the delicate
trunk. After some failures, he man
aged to seize the fragment by the CEN
ter, and then raise it up below the tusks
against his lower lip. As he had vir-
tually accomplished the task, discon-
tinucd the experiment., expressing my
satisfaction and delight to the man
ager, who somewhat damped my ardor
by informing me that the mahout,
while abstaining from use Of voice or
stick, might have conveyed his wishes
to the elephant by pressure with his
heels!
But moments reflection increased
my admiration for the elephants intel
ligence, for allowing that the mahout's
heels had pressed his side, how could
such pressure inform him that he was
neither to drag nor push, but carryR
Surely the mahout could not have pos
ssessed a code Of pressure-signals with
which he had octrinated the elephant
in prospect Of curious visitors. H he
had, then it must have included voice
and stick signaling as well. to either Of
which I might have resorted. No; I
believe the elephant acted independent
II Of signals, and reasoned on what he
had to do by what was laid before him.

THE LABoRs OF GENIUS.
Plato's Thirteen Versions of Sentence
Tcnnyson's Struggle With Meter
Bret Karte and Bryant Lab0rfOus
Writers.

The great Plato, whose thoughts
seemed to come so easy, is said to have
toiled over his manuscripts, working
with slow and tedious elaboration. The
opening sentence of s'The Republic"
on the authors tablets was found to be
written in some thirteen different YER
sions. When death called him from
his work the great philosopher was en-,
gagged at his desk s'combing and curl
ing and weaving and nnweaving his
writings after a variety Of fashions.
The celebrated French critic, Sainte-
Beuve, was accustomed to devote six
days to the preparation of single one
Of his weekly articles. A large portion
of his time was passed in the retirement
Of his chamber, to which, on such oc-
casions, no individual with the excep.
ton of his favorite servant-was allow
cd to enter under any circumstances
whatever. Here he wrote those critic
al papers which carried captive the
heart of France, and filled with Won-
der the cultivated mind everywhere.
The historian Gibbon, in speaking of
the manner in which he wrote his Ode
cline and Fall Of the Roman Empire"
said: MANY experiments were made
before could reach the middle tone
between dull tone and a rhetorical
defamation. Three times did [ COM
pose the first chapter, and twice the
second and third, before was tolera-
bly, satisfied with their effect Lamb
toiled most laboriously over his essays.
These papers, which long ago became
as classics in the English language,
which are replete with the most delicate
fancies, were composed with the most
exacting nicely. Yet their author is
regarded the world over as possessed Of
genius Of a high order. La Rochefou-
cauld was occupied for the space Of ff-
teen years in preparing for publication
his little work called 4sMaxims,'' re-
wrfing many of them more than thirty
times.
The great Belzac, after he had made
a plan of a novel, and had, after the
most laborious research, gathered to-
gether the materials which he was to
embody in it, would lock himself in his
private apartment, shut out all the
light Of day, and then, by the aid of his
study lamp, he would toll day and
night over the work before him. His
servant, knowing so well his peculiar
habits, would attend to his every want,
bringing him the necessary food with
which to sustain his physical needs,
and thus he would toll on and on, until
finally, with his task completed, as he
thought, he would come forth from his
retirement looking more dead than
alive. But invariably his task would

they stick to it till they leave the canal

would like to Danish women from the
