License VS.. Prohibition.

The attempt to commit the legislature to
high license in place of prohibition was a
stupendous failure. There is no doubt that
the managers of the democratic machine
had great hopes that they might so work
the legislature as to get a large vote for
that had about every enticing clause in it
which could be used and the great demo-
cratic champion of the cause was instant in
season and ont of season trying to work
up votes for it, but, after a most vigorous
drumming up, only eighteen members
in house of nearly two hundred forty
voted for it, and it was a fact worthy of
being remembered that not more than
twelve democrats voted for the bill, This
proves that while some conspicuous men in
this party are bowling for a license law the
sober respectable elements of the party are
as firm supporters of the present law as
there are in the state.-BdrtOH Monitor.

MoTHERs.--There are upon the skin of
every human being, child and adult alike,
100000 pores. Through these pores, in
the form of insensible perspiration, is eX-
PEELED more than one-quarter of the nourish-
ment taken into the system. The impor-
lance of keeping open these perspiration
valves upon child's body is second only
to that of promptly digesting the food eaten,
1t was to open the pores OF the skin and TO
assimilate the food that DR.. Pitcher formu-
lated Castoria. Loose bowels, constipation,
fevers and eruptions, which are so constant
among infants aud children and which kill
oBe-third of all children before they are five
years old, arise principally from these Two
causes. 1t is from the wonderful results at
tendant upon the use of Castoria in regu-
lating the stomach and bowels and keep
ing open the pores of the skin that Castoria
acquired its Worldwide reputation. With
plenty of water for the body, pure air for
the lungs and CastOria To assimilate the
food, there need be no unaccounted-for
sickness among children. Castoria is a veg
etable prescription without morphine or
other narcotic property. Thirty years eX-
tensive use has given il n history never at
tanned by another medicine.

There is certiin class OF swinders
who regard fTmgs as their legitimate
prey. OF thisclass are the Bohemian
ost swtndlers. They have, it seems, sue
ceeded in getting a great deal of money
out OF Western farmers. Their traps are
setbyasking p'money sometimes not even
notes, only sinatures for innocent pur-
poses. The fsmerS get full view of the
trick when thy are called upon to pay
their notes in ank for $50 or 500 or 5000
or more. lgnrant farmers who seldom
meet these wll dressed, oily-tongued.
polite and khd-hearted peddlers, are
easily taken h. Sometimes such swim
dlers come as ,olporteurs, distributing
tracts and Bible. They talk very sweet,
notice and praie the children, and wire
round until the' get the farmers sigma
ture for some pous purpose, then they
never return to that place again. But a
mysterious note turns up in bsnk and
then they understand what the nice stran-
ger was drivingst. Look out for all tree
and oats peddle's, and all strangers who
want your Signatures.
