Prohibition.

As moral question there can be
but one judgment regarding the pro
priety aud necessity of prohibiting
the sale of ardent spirits. The policy,
so far as the public good is concerned,
cannot be successfully controverted.
But there are broader and deeper
considerations at stake in this matter,
and the question cannot be examined
or disposed of with justice unless all
interests come up for adjustment at
the same time. The rights of man,
the right of each man to order his
life as he pleases, is guaranteed by a
law which is higher than any law
Texas can pass, higher than any pro-
vision that the constitution of Texas
can be made to contain. The coDsti-
tuition of the United States settles all
that sort OF thing. We doubt indeed
II anything can really be done with
the question: by the several states or
by fractions thereof, counties or mu-
inequalities. In our Judgment the
only way to reach 1t by law, reach the
evil of whisky drinking, selling or
dealing, is to have an amendment to
the constitution of the United States
which makes 1t criminal and and un-
lawful to import manufacture, sell
or drink whisky, brandy, wine,
beer, alcoholic or other liquors of
an intoxicating character. No mu-
nicipality, no county or single state
can so deal with the use of or traffic in
the destructive compound as to pre-
vent its sale or use in the states.
Even then we doubt if it can be
done. Patriotic men who have man
ufactured, dealt in and drank the al
choholic beverage, have paid theil
taxes, fought for the government
and obeyed the laws. 1t is utterly
impossible to take from them anyone
of their personal privileges in this way
We mention all these objections, mott

Gum Giving Place to LicOrice.

"Yes, gum has lost its prestige" says
a Chicago druggist. you see, it isn't
the nature of woman to stick to any one
thing very long, unless it is a scal-skin
sacque, then the the longer the better. >"
Without exhibiting any signs of agita-
tfon the newspaper man asked what the
tickle females were now chewingl
"Glycyrrhiza gla-b-r-a," was the reply.
"That must come from Moscow ven
tured the reporter"
"No, that is Latin for licorice root.
You see women must keep their jaws in
motion. Six months ago it was almost
impossible to find female without a
quid of chewing gum in her mouth,
whether out shopping or reading sensa-
tional novels in her boudoir. The chew
ing gum craze was a profitable one for
us. We sold tons of it during the run,
and the trade was not cornercd by drug
gists by very large majority. Shrewd
grocers with an eye to business dabbled
in the trade, and the amount sold in this
city alone would have made gum road
from here to Joliet, but now the demand
is for licorice". - Chicago Herald.

An AyaI's Terrible Revenge.

The steamship Valctta, which arrived
at Plymouth last evening, was on the
voyage the scene of deplorablc murder
and suicide. Among the passengers were
Mr.. and Mrs. Abbott, with two children
and japanese ayah. Mrs. Abbott had
occasion to rebuke the ayah, who became
much excited, and, in consequence of
remark she let fall, the children and
nurse were closely watched. In the
evening, however, while Mr.. Abbott was
sitting with them in the saloon he turned
away for a minute, when the woman
seized the eldest child, a beautiful fair
haired girl six years old, and thrust her
through one of the ports, then jumping
out herself. Both fell into the sea, and,
although the steamer was stopped and
boats got out, nothing could be seen of
the child, who doubtless had been
sucked down in the vortex caused by the
screw. The poor child was a general
favorite on board. London Telegraph.

During Cholera Epidemics.

The epidemics of 1880, 1915, and 1866
caused the people everywhere to adopt
preventive measures which were
thought to have great efficacy. Care in
diet was considered most important, of
course, and fruits were almost entirely
discarded. Waicrmclons and cucum-
bcrs were looked upon rs poisonous, and
even ripe peaches and other harmless
fruit were permitted to rot. SO heavy
were the losses by fruit growers and
dealers in the East in 1880, that for a
few years after the plague disappeared
no one would raise melons and other OBJ
jectionablc vegetables and fruits for fear
that they could not be disposed of.
Boiled rice, mush and milk, and bread
and milk became the principal articles
of diet in many families, and meats and
other heavy foods were partaken of very
sparingly. Camphor came into universal
use as disinfectant, and nearly every
body wore some of it on the person.
Flannels were worn all summer, and
plastcrs of various kinds were used on
the chest and back.

Hunting for Elder Down.

A letter from Reyk javik, Iceland. to
the New York Sun, writes Of the elder
down harvest as follows: The men who
get the down leave home early in the
morning, and visit the places to which
the cider duck resorts, and each man
hunts for the nests. The nests are built
in cefts of the rock sometimes near the
sea, and slippery from the spray, aud
sometimes very high up, where false
step would be death to the unfortunate
man falling down on the jagged rocks
below.
The down is pluckcd from the breasts
of the duck by the bird itself, and is
used to line the nests for the comfort of
the young ones. The hunter robs the
bird of all the lining it has provided for
the nest putting it in bag that he car.
ries along for the purpose, and then goes
on and repeats the performance at some
other nest. Everything must be done very
quietly, for loud noise frightcns the birds,
and If frightened away once, they will not
build there again. There is law en-.
forced that forbids TIE discharge OF fire.
arms within hearing of the breeding
places, and stranger would probably
be mobbcd If he disobcycd it.
Two crops Of down arc gathered. The
first crop is the best, for the duck uses
an abundance of her choicest down In
making the lining Of her first nest. A
short time after the first is gathered the
hunters 80 over the same ground again
and rob the nests oil the second lining,
which consists OF all the down the poor
bird could rob herself of for her young.
This proceeding seems to cali out the
last energies of the birds, for they then
make q new nest, and the drake lines it
with his breast feathers. In this nest
the young arc Matched. The hunters
seldom disturb it, for the probabilities
are that the pair would go away and
never return.
After the down has been gathered, it
is taken into large room in the farmers
house, and each nest, for the lining re-
tains the shape Of a nest, is placed on top
OF primitive arrangement that looks
like harp laid fiat, with strings of
leather laid across it. The nest is then
rubbed over the strings, and the lichcn,
moss, sticks, chips. and other parts OF
the frame Of the nest that are mixed
with the down fall through to the floor,
while she down remains in the operators
hands. The down is then packed and
brought TO market, and from here shipped
to all parts Of the world. The color of
the down is surprise to many, for in
stead Of its being white, as some people
imagine, it is blue slate color, glossy,
and very pretty. An Immense amount
OF it can be crushed into handful, but
it will resume its natural fo:m when re-
leased.
The down taken from dead birds is
not as good as that from the nests 1t
is not so light or so much like floss silk
to the touch. Iceland furnishes about
1000 pounds of the down every wear
that is Of o superior quality.

WISE WORDS.

Be loving and you will never want 70
love; be humble and you will never wan
for guiding.
What people sometimes think an ocean
of trouble is really but a notion of dys-
pcptic ideas.
The soldier who executes his captains
commands is no less valuable than the
captain who gave the order.
Half of the misery of life might be ex.
tlnguished would man alleviate the gen
eral curse by mutual compassion.
Water that flows from q spring, does
not freeze in the coolest winter. And
those sentiments of true friendship which
flow from the heart cannot be frozen by
adversely.
Eat, digest; read, remember; earn,
save; love, and be loved. If these four
rules be strictly followed, health, inteli-
gence, wealth, and true happiness will
be the result.
Politeness is the poetry of conduct,
and, like poetry, it has many qualities.
Let not your politeness be too florid, but
of that gentle kind which indicates re-
fined nature.
An old writer says "therc is no saying
shocks me so much as that which hear
very often, that a man does not know
how to pass his time. 1t would have
been but ill-spoken by Methuselah in the
9G0th year of his life"
Strong passions are the life OF manly
virtues. But they need not necessarily
be evil because they are passions and be-
cause they are strong. The passions
may be likcned to blood horses, that need
training and the curb only, to enable
them whom they carry to achieve the
most glorious triumphs.
