more than usual interest, and we hope that
every brother who can possibly spare the time
will be present. A grand Campfire will be held
at Representatives Hall on the evening of the
5th, and will be addressed by Gov. Oglesby,
Gen. Palmer, and other speakers of national
reputation Col w. w. Berry, Department.
Commander of the GAR. has been invited to
deliver an address, and will probably do so. A
reception will be held at the Lincoln residence,
which has been fitted up as museum, In which
many thousand articles connected with the life
and public services of the martyr President are
stored under the care of Mr. Oldroyd, the gifted
author of the Lincoln Album" This will in
itself well repay visit to the city. An excur-
sion to the Lincoln Monument at Oak Ridge has
been planned. and viii be carried out. weather
permitting. Mayor Garland and the City Coun-
Gil will do all in their power to make the visit
interesting, and the citizens will greet the boys
with open arms. The local Camp and the
GAR. Posts will do everything in their power
to make the boys feel al. home. We want tho
GAR. comrades to attend the meeting and
hear and see for themselves our doctrines and
work They will at least find that none but
sons of ex soldiers are admitted to membership.
and that the SD cousin " business is . delu-
sion and a snare. In conclusion, We invite
everybOdy-that is, GAR comrades and s. Of

with US and enjoy our Campfire.

Drinking Habits Changing.

AS proof of the great change in the
drinking habits of the people it is shown
by official statistics that the consumption
of ardent spirits in the country in the
first decade of this century averaged four
and half gallons annually to each head
of the population. The consumption of
spirits for drink has gradually declined
from that time, until now it does not
much exceed one gallon annually for
each inhabitant. The total amount of
spirits produced in the country and i'm.
ported for consumption in 1860 was 98,
96S, ,651 gallons From this must be de-
Quoted an export of 3,604,OS gallons,
which leaves Sc, 364, 564 gallons for do
mestic consumption. If 5000, 900 gal
Ions be deducted for use in the arts and
manufactures, there remained 61, 364, 564
gallons for consumption for drink. In
1884 the total amount of liquors retained
for domestic consumption and imported
was 6S, 807, Ala gallons. If twelve per
cent. of this be deducted for the arts and
manufactures, go, 30, COS gallons remain
for drink. In other words, 81, 443, 321
inhabitants of the United States con-
sumed in 1860 more spirits for drink
than $4,000 inhabitants consumed
for drink in 1884. While the consump.
tion Of whisky is steadily declining, the
use of beer and light wines is increasing.

RevOlvers Going the Rounds.

A country merchant stopping at one
of the Chicago hotels the other day
asked the clerk to direct him to the
pawn-shop region of the city. The
diamond wearer and bell jabber looked
up in astonishment, and was about to
send a porter up stairs to look after the
guests baggage, when the latter re.
marked:
sob, you needn't look so scared. ]
don't want to pawn anything, and will
pay my hotel bill. l am hardware
dealer and want buy some revolvers."
The country merchant went down to
South State and Clark streets and made
the rounds of the numerous pawn-shops
to be found there. He bought severai
dozen revolvers of all sizes and values
and piled them in carpet bag, which
he had brought along for the pur.
pose.

quiry of the Chicago Herald reporter,
who had followed him. 81 buy all my
revolvers in this way. I have been on
to the scheme about year. l never
come to Chicago but what I save enough
on the revolvers l buy in the pawn shops
to pay my hotel bill, and sometimes my
incidental expenses. can buy these goods
a great deal cheaper than / could new
ones, of course, and out where
I live l can sell them for almost
as much. There's a queer thing
about this revolver trade. A country
boy never thinks of coming to Chicago
without revolver in his pocket. He
has heard so much about the wickedness
of Chicago, you know, that he really
thinks it wouldn't be safe. And, beside,
no young man in the country thinks him
self really man unless he has a revolver.
When they come here to Chicago on busi.
ness or visit, or looking for job, and
they run short of money, the first thing
goes to the pawn shop is the revolver
and they go for song, too. One day /
was in the pawn shop at No. - State,
when fellow came in and pawned re-
volver for $3.50 that he had bought OF
me month before for 50. On my next
trip bought that gun for $3.50, and
sold it within week for So. Shouldn't
wonder if l could make two or three
more turns on it before it wears out, and
if don't somebody else will. There's a
continual drift of revolvers in that way
We sell 'em in the country, in the city
the pawnbrokers get them, and then we
buy them back again. Four ifths OF
the revolvers sold are in the country
towns, and the smaller the town the
better the trade in proportion. The trade
in the cheap revolyers has about played
out"

Domestic Habits in Alaska.

The Chilcat people long ago gained
for themselves the reputation of being
the most fierce and warlike tribe i'll the
archipelago. Certain it is that, between
themselves and southern Hy-dah, there
is not another which can compare with
them in strength, either as to numbers,
intelligence, physical perfection or
wealth.
ga diseased person among the Chill
cats, is rather the exception, and prosti.
tuition as defined by them is punishable
with death. At first thought their mar
riage laws seem very elastic, but such is
not the case. Though they do not bind
tightly they bind strongly, and the
limits which are fixed are fixed indeed.
The children always belong to their
mother and are of her to TEN. The to-
temic relation is considered closer than
that of blood. If the fathers and
mothers tribes be at war the children
must take the maternal side, even if
against their father. 1t is this law which
makes illegal any marriage between
members of the same tribe; though the
contracting persons may be entire
strangers and unable to trace any blood
relation. at the same time man may
marry his half-sister Zone having a differ
ent mother) or woman and her daugh-
ter-either at the same time or consecu-
lively; for plural marriages are not un-
common, though they are by no means
general In very rare cases woman
has two husbands, oftener we find man
with two wives, even three; but more
frequently met than either is the con-
secutive wife. Mrs. Willard, IN Tho

The Little Snakes.

A barelegged boy riding rake on one
of the divides near the Santa Fe trail
dragged into the window a rattler; but
instead of coiling and giving forth de-
ticiant buzz, the snake manifested every
inclination to get off peaceably. The
average Kansas lad would have taken q
strap from his harness, given the reptile
two or three paralyzing taps, counted
the rattles, and gone on his way before
anybody discovered the rake was idle.
Not so did Billy Woodward, who is only
a few months from County Donega! and
possessed of the abundant natural curios
ity of an Irish boy abroad. He got
down from his high seat and began to
study natural history. The snake tried
to run away, but Billy "headed her of, {"
as he said afterward. Once or twice the
fugitive coiled and threatened to the
boys great delight. For fifteen minutes
the teasing went on, and then the snake
darted her head into hole in the prairie
sod. Perhaps third of her length was
concealed, while there came from under
ground a noise which the boy said
sounded like "a queer kind of Cluck-
ing" BY the time he had got trace
chain loose the snake was out of the
hole and wriggling slowly toward the
uncut grass. Billy followed her up,
''fetched her couple of cracks" and
supposed the sport was over.
Later in the day party of hunters
came along and the boy exhibited his
trophy, and told what he had seen One
of the hunters. ranchman of varied ex-
perience, got out his pocket knife, and
with the remark that he guessed he
could show the others something about
rattlesnalles they never knew before,
stopped down and drew the sharp blade
across the thickest fold of the dead
snake. Out squirmed eleven young rat
tiers, all of size, eight inches long and
as large around as a lead pencil. They
were a very lively family, and had to be
laid out one at time. Billy's eyes
grew big as he saw the revelation which
added the best part to his snake story.
The ranchman said that when overtaken
with her young the maternal rattler will,
as last means of protection, swallow
the little ones. She calls them with a
noise which is q combination of cluck
and whistle. Very rarely does it happen
that the act is witnessed. In all his ex.
perience the ranchman said he had never
seen this snake swallowing performance
but once. Then he had come upon the
mother snake and her young summing
among the stones. They had tried tc
get away, but failing, the young had
glded into the mouth of the old one in
response to the peculiar call, and had
disappeared before his eyes Globe.

Melancholy.

There is deal of 'moping melancholy
and moonstruck madness" in the world,
about two-thirds of which attribute to
disordered liver. There is, of course,
much melancholy which results from
sufficient cause, but when one takes the
majority of the cases and examines them,
he will find that little dieting, some
lemon juice, and pill or two will make
the sunshine Just as bright as it evei
did to the patient, and he Will wonder
that his liver had such power over his in,
tellect. Young people in love are given
to fits of melancholy, but in these in
stances the cause of the trouble
is a supersensitiveness of the peri
cardium resulting from excessive
youth and redundant verdancy. A
little age and little ripening always
work a radical cure with these patients,
l think it is extremely foolish for people
to let themselves become melancholy,
even though there be some cause for it
There is blue sky above us al, and
bright sun; the fields grow golden
harvests of fatness; the rivers run clear
and sparkling; the flowers bud and
blossom along our paths, and the birds
sing cheerily all the day, There is life
everywhere, and JOY and gladness, if we
will only look for them, and insist upol
having our just dues, and if we neglect
them, we are SHINING against ourselves
our friends, and the good ard wise
Creator, who put us here to make the
world better, and not fill it with sigh'
and tears, bad blood and bile. There:

out you'll Forgive me for my cruelty"
"It is who have come to ask forgive
ness!" said Guy, leading her to a seat.
"After we parted, two years ago, and !
got over my stubbornness, / tried to find
you, but you had disappeared, leaving
no trace behind you. l was inconsolable,
and reproached myself for my harshness,
because it was all my fault. Finally,
however, grew moody and cynical, but
/ could never bring myself to think of
you with aught but love and tenderness.
Six months after you disappeared my
old uncle died, and left me his heir.
Since that time l have hunted for you,
far and wide. Last summer | took
a run along the coast in my
yacht, stopping at every
port. Two weeks ago we were lying
off Cape Breton, in dead calm. One
of the sailors called my attention to a
bottle that was drifting by US. / fished
it up with a scoop net. 1t was sealed,
and all gathered around to see what it
contained l broke the neck, and found
this little note;" and he produced from
an inner pocket the identical message
she had written on board the Mantle, in
mid ocean. "You can imagine my JOY
at the strange discovery of your hiding
place, and, breeze springing up, or
dered the yacht put about, and we ran
into Halifax. l have come to you as fast
as steam would carry me, to ask your
forgiveness, and assure you that | have
never ceased to love you."
What answer she made him can but
be imagined. Anyway-when Pipa
Gale returned to dinner he heard the
whole story, and declared in his hearty
way that he'd give away the bride.
Accordingly, as soon as suitable
trousscau could be prepared, the two, SC
strangely reunited, were made one.
The Misses Gale officiated as brides
maids, and Bob Darlington and his
cousin were the groom's best men.
Papa Gale, true to his word, gave the
bride away, and the great pyramid o.
flowers which occupied the centre of th'
banquet table was crowned by the iden
tical bottle that was responsible for thu
happy event.
