Temperance people are watching the
working Of the prohibitory law in Iowa.
The Davenport (Iowa) Democrat, which
is apparently hostile to the prohibition law,
has gathered reports from number Of
it operates. The correspondents from fif-
teen cities pronounce it dead failure, and
those in three others regard its success as
doubtful. The Democrat says that in Da.
venport ''the total number Of saloons has
increased thirty mine over the previous six
months, and drunkenness is now greatly
increased" If this testimony is reliable it
is evident that in Iowa, at least, prohibition
does not prohibit.

Emperor William, Of Germany, has writ
ten letter in reply to the New Years ad-
dress presented him by the municipal auth
critics of Berlin. In it he dwells upon
the political and economic progress which
the German Empire has made in recent
years. The settlements in Africa which
have been placed under the protection of
Germany will give an additional outlet, he
says, to German enterprise, and will prove
stimulant to trade and manufacture un.

The Legislature Of Montana is now in
session and the question of county division
will bs one Of importance. The increase
of population in the different counties
makes it necessary for the convenience of
the people to create new counties and new
county seats. The righting Of county lines
will probably be attended. The line be-
tween Madison and Beaverhead should be
properly adjusted. AS the line is now run
Madison County includes slice Of ground
that should belong to Beaverhead County.

He Was a srWhite Man"

r. Machrsy in Harper.
One of the Hudson Bay company's
officers has with him his young wife
and child, tiny girl three years old,
pretty, prattling, fearless, fascinating
young woman. She is everybody's pet,
from the rather dandy wheelsman, who
tries to entice her up to his pilot-box,
which towers above the vessel, down to
the grizzled, grimy deck hands, whose
acquaintance she has some how or
or other made on the lower deck.
On the floor of this lower deck,
whittier she has been taken by her
nurse. she has seen three men living
bound, chained hand and foot. They
are on their way to be tried at Fargo,
and the sheriff, who has affected their
capture, never leaves them for they are
known to be desperate.
The little child came to them and
looked at them curiously they had prob
ably never seen anything so dainty or so
sweet before. She saw nothing in them
to brighten her. So she advanced and
spoke to them in her broken words, she
even touched the letters on the hands of
one of them, and smiled IN his face, and
asked him what they were. The man
smilen too, without replying, and the
child moved away As she walked
there was sudden quick Jerk of the
whole ship, its further side ground jar
ringIy against some unyielding sub
stance hidden in the water; it tilted over
slightly, the child lost her balance, and,
with scream, she fell over the side in
to the water. The vessel for an instant
was stationary. The three prisoners
saw her disappear. The prisoner to
whom she had spoken, and whose hand
cuffs she had for a moment
touched, exclaimed; "Godi don't ye
shoot, Bill" Then quickly rolling
himself over and over, he dropped into
the water beside the child. AS his
hands were bound behind him, he
caught the child's dress in his teeth,
and treading the water with his fettered
feet, kept the child above water until
help came. AS everybody's attention
was diverted to the opposite side of tho
steamer, it was some time before the
boat from the vessel reached them. But
the child was saved. Needless to relate
the thankfulness of the poor young
mother or the gratitude of the father.
Il guess you air a white man, Rik,
after all, said the sheriff.
A purse was made up among the pas
sengers for the man, whose name was
Erikir, Scandinavian by birth. 1t
was afterward learned that the sheriff
told the story to the Judge" and the
Judge, with western freedom, and that
admiration for gallant act that covers
multitude of SINS, so arranged that
when it was found that Erikir had
mysteriouslv disappeared, nothing was
done beyond little official bluster,
and he escaned

The Thanks of Congress.

Since the Government has been or
ganized there have been only thirty
four people named in resolutions OF
thanks by Congress. With three ex-
ceptious this honor has only been
paid to officers for great gallantry in
action during the war. The three ex-
ceptions were those of Capt. Ingrahan,
Capt Ringgold and Capt. Dahlgren.
In the first case, Capt. Ingraham clear
ed his ship for action and rescued at
the cannon's mouth an American cit
izen by the name of Martin Roszia
from Illegal seizure and Imprisonment
on board the Austrian war brig Hussar;
Capt. Ringgold was honored for his
daring and skill in rescueing the crew
of the steam transport Governor,
wrecked in a gale on the LIST of No
vember, 1861, having on board bat
talon of United States marines, and
also for the search and rescue of the
battle-ship Vermont, which was dis
abled in a gale on the 29th of Feb
ruary, 1864. The third, Capt. Dahl
gren, was thanked for his improve
ments in gunnery. This honor gives
the recipient the right of admission to
the floors of Congress at any and all
times. st. LousS Globe Democrat.

ETrs. General Custer.

New York Letter: Mrs. Custer has
now been eight years a widow, and dur
ing the most of these years she sup
ported herself by acting as secretary to
the Society of Decorative Art. Her
pension then from the Government was
only $50 a month; but such a TODD was
raised by the papers and public about
this niggardly way of dealing with
brave officers widow, that short time
ago her pension was doubled. So now
she is enabled by close economy to live
without working, and this she has done
in most charming way. She has
little flat in house in East Eighteenth
Street, and prettier or more attrac
tive apartment it would be hard to find.
Esthetieism and comfort in furnishing
are admirably combined, and in
this pretty little place Mrs. Gus
ter dispenses the most gracious
hospitality. She has no end of
friends, both in New York and scat
tered throughout the country, and the
latter never come to town that they do
not run in to see Libby" for she is ex-
ceedinely popular, as a woman with her
manner could no well fail to be. In
speaking of her circumstances to me
the other day, Mrs. Custer said that her
poverty seemed to distress her friends
good deal more than it did her, and
that they made up any deficiency in
her income by their practical attentions;
that she had more invitations to spend
weeks at time here and there, and go
on long excursions anywhere from
Mexico to England than she could pos
sibly accept My friends are kindness
ITSELF" she said, land seem to feel
that | am their special care" She is
so modest that she does not for a mo-
ment consider that her pleasant com
panionship is thing to be particularly
desired.

How Long We Should Sleep.
rom the Gentleman's Magazine.

From the Gentleman's Magazine
The latest authority on this vexed
question DR.. Mains, says that the prop
er amount of sleep to be taken by man
is eight hours. So far as regards city
life the estimate Is probably correct.
Proverbial wisdom does not apply TO
modern conditions of social existence.
Give (hours) for man, seven for wo-
man and nine for pig" says one prov
erb; and second, quoted by Mr.. Haz-
lit in his English Proverbs" declares
that nature requires five; custom ALLOW S
seven laziness takes nine, and wicked
ness eleven" These conclusions were,
however, drawn from observation of
country life.
Physical fatigue is more easily over
come than intellectual. Which of us
when travelling in the country or abroad,
or in any way separated from the ordi
nary process of thought and anxiety, has
not found that he could, without diff
Guilty, do with a couple of hours less
sleep than he was in the habit of taking
Men, however, who follow an intellect
ual pursuit are exceptionally fortunate
if the processes of restoration occupy
less than seven hours. More frequently
they extend to eight or nine hours.
Kant, see it stated, never took less
than seven hours. Goethe owned to re-
quiring nine. Soldiers and sailors, on
the other hand, like laborers. do with
much less quantity. ] am afraid to say
how few the Duke of Wellington re-
garded as essential. A school-master
under whom at one time studied, a
Woodworking man at the acquisition of
languages, proclaimed loudly that he
never took more than five hours sleep.
The hour at which he rose in the morn
ing gave some color to this assertion.
Only in after life did | discover that
two hours postprandial s1esta was not
included in that allowance.

They said the train was an hour be-

us all feel put out and annoyed. There

dressed and having a trampish look,
came along the platform asking for

pirate as the official residence of the
Prime Minister, is eminently suited for
the purpose 1t was built in ITO for
Sir Matthew Featherstonhaugh and
sold at his death to the first Lord Mel
bourne, who died there in 1928. Lord
Melbourne was father of the Prime
Minister Melbourne and Lady Palmer
ston, and during his time it was head
center of social high life. Byron, who
had very great regard for Lady Mel
bourne, was frequent guest here.
Pitt, Lord Gray, Lord Beaconsfield and
Mr.. Gladstone are the only Prime
Ministers who have in this century
made home of the official residence in
Downing street, which is quite unwor-

Gladstone presumably quilted his beau

At Roubaix, Department du Nord. in

At Roubaix, Department du Nord, in
France, menagerie was recently de-
stroyed by fire, in which number of
the animals were roasted. Exasper-
ated at what they believed to be the
apathy of the police in preventing the
spread of the flames, the infurated citi-
zens forced the miserable officers to eat
parts of the cooked animals. There
could be no worse torture to French
man than to offend his stomach in such
a barbarous manner, and none but a
Frenchman would ever think of inhict-
hight. The result has exceeded the
most diabolical desires of the perpetra-
tors, for the policemen fell i'll of a dis
ease said to strongly resemble cholera,
and it has since become epidemic. The
whole story sounds more like Jules
Verne than sober fact, but coming by
cable it has at least the ear marks of
authenticity.
