Laws of the Several States and Territories
for Its Regulation.
The Philadelphia Press has made
special effort to obtain a statement of
the methods adopted in the several
States and Territories of the Union in
dealing with the drink question, and
summarizes the answers it has received
from the several Secretaries of State as
follows:
s ''Ironclad Prohibition States with
Constitutional provision against the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors: Maine, Vermont Iowa and
Kansas.
Prohibition State but having no Con-
stitutional provisions: New Hampshire
i.
estates in which Prohibition has been
tried, but either for lack of success or
change in public sentiment changed to
milder methods: Massachusetts, Con-
necticut, Indiana Michigan and Wis
consin-5.
Estates and Territories having gen.
eral and stringent License or Local
Option laws: Rhode Island, New
York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
South. Carolina, Arkansas, Illinois,
Minnesota, Nebraska, Dakota and
Washington--11.
Estates allowing local option by
special act of the Legislatures North
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Misss-
sippi-4.
Estates and Territories having no
general laws, and where no special at
tention has been given The subject: New
Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, Louisiana,
Kentucky, Ohio, Missouri, Nevada, Col
orado, Arizona, Montana, New Mexico,
Wyoming and Utah-14.
States and Territories from which
we have been unable to obtain replies:
Florida, Texas, Tennessee. California,
Oregon, Idaho and Utah.. Total, As.
1.-The unique position occupied by
Ohio compelled US to classify this State
as we have, though it can hardly be said
that no special attention has been given
the subject of Temperance in Ohio, es-
peclally of late years. The law against
treating in Nebraska, it is only fair to
add, is founded on a sensible idea How
much of the drunkenness and vice OF
large American cities is due to treat
ing? In this respect we are Nation
of fools. In no country in the world is
this custom carried to such an extent.
The severity of Prohibition laws may
be best studied in Mr.. St. JONAS State,
where even physicians have to take oath
once in five years that they will not pre-
scribe liquor unless absolutely neces-
sary as medicine. In Michigan and
Minnesota, and perhaps some other
States, effort is made to create a Tenn
perance sentiment; in the frst-named
State, by compulsory teaching in all
public schools of the effect of drink on
the human system. In the latter-named
States to sell pupil of a school or sem
mary drink is misdemeanor. The
holding of saloon-keepers responsible
for paupers chargeable on the town,
when it can be proved from whom they
obtained liquor, seems to be peculiar to
Nebraska.

A GRAND WASHING.

How Matte and Nettie Managed to Make
Pleasant Very Drcary Day.
"Dear mel" said Matte, this is
very dreary day."
There's not thing to do" said
Nettie. I'm tired of every one of our
plays. How wish we could go out in
the snow"
At last Matte had happy thought.
"Let us have grand washing" she
cried. I'm sure our dolls clothes
need washing"
''Oh. yes, said Nettie;" "and We
can dry them before the fire"
Nurse said they might do as large a
washing as they pleased. She spread an
old rug down in one corner of the nura-
cry, and gave them the small bath-tub,
and two washbowls. Then she fixed
the light clothes-bars in front of tho
CRATE, so they could dry their washing
on them. Nurse tied large spotted
apron on Matte, and large checked
one on Nettie; then they were ready to
60 to work.
1--WE will have very large wash, :"
said Nettie. Josephine Mcdonald has
been so careless she has not one pair of
clean stockings left She kicked off her
last pair into the coal-hod this morning,
and they are sight to see. Twinkle
Eva DaliS is about as bad. She's worse
on her skirts"
Il believe my Amy Ruth gets her
aprons dirtier than anything else. Baby
Bunting is just awful on her socks, and
Daisy Dimple gets every single thing
she has soiied in no time, said Matte.
'DOl children are great deal of
care" sighed Nettie.
The two little girls gathered up al
their dolls clothes. They took off some
the dollies had on. So one little doll,
who had but one arm, had to be
wrapped up in 4 blanket; and anothG,
who was weak in the back from loss Of
sawdust, had to be put to bed. Daisy
Dimple had to be wrapped up in
towel, and placed near the CRATE to
keep warm, and Josephine Mcdonald
had to sit with her feet under her, be-
cause she had all her stockings in the
wash.
cit will teach them to be more care
full, " said Nettie."
Matte and Nettie made splendid
suds and went to work with will
They washed the clothes in the suds,
then rinsed them, and hung them up to
dry on the bars before the fire. They
had such large washing that the bars
were quite full. When they were dry
they folded them down ready to iron
the next morning. Nettie and Matte
were 50 tired when their work was done
that they had to sit down in their rock
ing-chairs to rest. Their mamma came
in just then; so she told them a story to
help rest them.-Our Little Ones.

Effect on Digestion.

I had learned purely by experimental
observation that, in its action on the
living body, this chemical substance,
alcohol, deranges the constitution OF
blood; unduly excites the heart and
respiration; paralyzes the minute blood
vessels; increases and decreases, ac-
cording to the degree of its application,
the function of the digestive organs, OF
the liver and of the kidneys; disturbs
the regularity of nervous action; lowers
the animal temperature, and lessons the
muscular power. 1t will be asked:
''Was there no evidence of any useful
service rendered by the agent in the
midst of so much obvious evidence of
bad service?" / answer to that ques-
ton that there was no such evidence
whatever, and there is none. 1t has
been urged, as last kind of resource
and excuse, that alcohol aids digestion,
and so far is useful. I support, in re-
ply, the statement of the late DR..
Cheyne that nothing more effectively
binders digestion than alcohol That
''many hours, and even a whole night,
after debauch in wine, it is common
enough to reject part or the whole of
a dinner undigested. hold that
those who abstain from alcohol have
the best digestion; and that more in
stances of indigestion, of fatulency, of
acidity, and of depression of mind and
body are produced by alcohol than by
any other single cause.-Dr. B. W.

Three Chains.


There are three chains which bind
men in captivity-custom, habit and APP
petite. These different forces play into
each other hands. First custom comes
with its insinuations and solicitations;
then follows habit with its bands and
letters; and finally comes appetite with
its fiery energies, sweeping the soul as
with q cyclone, and hurrying man to
irretrievable ruin. The time to snap
these chains is at the beginning. A
three-fold cord is not easily broken.
Let those who ate>bondage remember
that tyranny in its beginning is insidi-
GUS and unsnSpected, and that those
who fail to resist the beginnings of evil
will find themselves powerless to war
against it when it is completely devel-
oped and fully grown.-NatjOnat W. c.

SOUND WORDS.
Some Sensible Advice by a Religious Ex-
change.

| change.
The Scripture exhorts us to "hold
fast the form of ''Sou1gd a0OrdS," which,
l suppose, means that we should call
things by their right names. The rose
by any other name would smell as
sweet, bus rascality sometimes adorns
itself with names that makes it smell
far sweeter than when bearing its own
proper designations.
Especially is this true when men
undertake to describe the swindles and
yillainies which are toe common in the
higher circles of the commercial world.
| Speaking of certain transactions Of this
description, the Hartford COurGnt says:
'Over-certifcation and rehypOtheca-
ton, are pretty long words One means
lying, and the other means stealing.
When we are told that the recent
troubles in business in New York are
attributable to these lOng-sounding
causes, we are really told lying and
stealing are at the bottom of the diff
Guilty.
This is refreshing. "'Over-certifica-
ton" is when bank official says that
some one has certain amount of
money in the bank, which he does not
have though he may promise that he
aUiU have at some other time. ''Rehy-
pothecatiOn'' is the taking of stocks,
bonds, notes, ETC., which are already
pledged as security for loans, and
pledging or pawniDg them again to
raise more money. And under the
shadow of these two big. words, too big
to be found in most dictionaries, it is
difficult to see just where the wrong in
the case is. But when we translate the
thing into English, and find that one
word means lying, and the other steal
ing, we know just to think about it.
There are many other words which
are high sounding. There are dis
crepancies," and ''defcits,' and ode
faults" and 'defalcations;" there are
irregularities, and miSappropria-
tions, and "breaches of trust and
acknowledgements" and numerous other
operations, by which genteel rascals get
away with the money which belongs to
honest and unsuspecting people, the
true character of which may be ex-
pressed by the simple words lying and
stealing! These words bring the whole
matter within the range of the ten COM
mandments. There is no Scripture
which says: '.Thou shalt not default,
thou shalt not rehypothecate, thou
shalt not over-certIfcate," but there is
a passage which says: Thou shalt not
steGt," and there is a passage which
tells us that oil liars shall have their
part in the lake which burnett with fire
and birthstone. If we can get rid of
some of these big words, and come
down to language which the common
people can under tand, we shall per-
haps be able to warn men against the
dangers OF stealing. and tell men who
lie that they are on the straight road to
hell. This is very unpopular word,
and very obsolete doctrine, but there
are some things which go to show that
it is true One of them is this: that the
devil is very sure to get grip on these
genteel swindlers and their ill-gotten
gains in THIS world, and nothing affords
much foundation for the idea that he

CAPE COATS AGAIN.

The Disappearance of Capes After Il Mur-

"Men are wearing capes on their

tailor yesterday, as he leaned against

''and they recall to old New Workers
the popularity of the cape, and its sud

man named Robinson.
Many years ago every man with any
pretensions to style wore cape. The
garments were OF various colors, often
running to bright plaids, and they were
worn quite long. A tall man wrapped
up In one of these capes, and walking
along in the dark, looked like bandit.
They were very convenient particular
ly when a man went to the theater in
dress clothes. He had only to slip his
cloak over his shoulder when running
out between the acts, which was vastly
easier than struggling into an oyercoat,
and saved man from catching many
acold. When the great Robinson muir
der trial came OH. however, the testi-
mony played largely on cape which
was worn by mysterious man who
was subsequently identified as Robinson
They then became known as Robinson

son was over. Until now they have
