The Philadelphia Press has been at the
pains to gather from official sources infor-
nation as to the action taken by the States
of the Union in regard to the restriction
of the use, manufacture or sale of intoxi-
eating liquors. Five States have prohlbi-
tory laws-Maine. New Hampshire. Yer
mont, Iowa and Kansas. Thirteen are
without general laws upon the subject.
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Indiana,
Michigan and Wisconsin have tried prohi-
bition, and finding it ineffective have had
recourse to less drastic measures. Twenty
states and territories deal with the liquor
question by means of a license or a Local
option is the more popular system, as 1T
comedies to communities the right to deal
with the question according to the indi-
yidual convictions or needs. Rural neigh
borhoods and populoHs cities may have
different views and interests, and it is the
merit of the local option method that it
provides for this possible difference.

The Little IIOusckeepers.

I suppose you know that nearly az
kinds of birds take their flight to a
warmer part of the far distant South
upon the approach of cold weather,
and come back to us again with the
opening days of spring. Among
these are the blackbirds. But one
winter, not many years ago, in a log.
ging camp away up in the Minnesota
pineries, where the weather is very
cold in midwinter, two blackbird3 re,
manned all winter, making their home
in the building used as stable for the
oxen. The rough lumbermen, whc
had never known of case like this
before, were pleased and were kind to
the little birds; the man who had
charge of'the camp and cooked for the
stalwart choppers scattered crumbs
for them in generous quantities neal
the camp door, and the birds SCOT
learned to expect their food at regu
lar times each day.
When the weather was extremely
cold the little birds kept in the stable
Cor, as the men calico it, "hover) al
through the day. That Is, they would
"sit in the barn to keep themselves
warm and hide their heads under
their wings-poor things" Anc
when the oxen were driven home
from work in the evening. the birds
would hail them with cries of wei
come, and alight on the warm backs
of the oxen and nestle down in the
thick, bushy hair, probably to warn
their toes. And every night they
slept on their chosen perch, nestled
down snugly on the backs Of the
good beasts. who either die
not care or were unaware of theiI
presence. In sunny days they flew
about, alighting in the tall pines and
on the big log building which the
men call the "camp'-but never, dur.

Historical Items About Hair.

The Romans never adopted long hair,
considering it efeminate.
Mr. Cleveland is the first President
who has ever worn only mustache.
Kings and mobiles among the Franks
were distinguished by long hair.
Lord Justice knight Bruce refused to
hear barrister because lie wore o
beard.
1t is said that Cynoisius, the tyrant,
singed his beard off with hot walnut
shells.
Archbishop Tate forbade one of the
clergy to officiate because he wore Q
mustache.
False hair was worn ages ago. 1t wns
preached against by the fathers OF the
church, but to no purpose.
Red hair became popular under the
reign of Queen Elizabeth, and has con
tinued more or less so ever since.
Red hair, in general, was an aversion
to the ancients, mark of reprobation,
even before the time of Judas.
Black hair was not highly esteemed by
the ancients, the possessors of it being
thought jealous and auarrelsome.
