That Tired FeeEno

The warm weather has debilitating effect,
especially upon those who are within doors
most Of the time. The peculiar, yet common,
complaint known as "that tired feeling"
is the result. This feeling can be entirely
overcome by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which gives new life and strength to all
the functions Of the body.
"I could not sleep; had no appetite. I
took Hoods Sarsaparilla and soon began to
sleep sonndly; could get up without that
tired and languid feeling; and my appetite
improved" r. A. SANFORD, Kent, Ohio.

AN ARTIST WARNED.
An Imitation of United States Currency
That Must Not be Repeated.

The secret service officers made
seizure in Theodore Stewards saloon in
New York recently of small painting
by William H. Harnett, the well known
artist, representing the face of United
States s. note. The work was done so
well that it took close examination with
glass to show that note had not been
pasted down on piece of wood, as even
the mucilage which apparently had
been used was initiated. The law pro-
hibiting the counterfeiting and imita-
ton of money was felt to have been
violated by this neat piece of artistic
painting, but the law officers of the
Treasury Department could not say that
talent such as that exhibited in this case
should be promoted, because Of the sub
Ject selected to portray. Neither could
they allow the matter to pass without
calling attention to the dangers of imita-
tions so skillfully made that they re-
qulred but groundwork Of paper in
stead of smooth surfaced wood to en-
able them to pass for money.
1t was not supposed that any jury
would convict the artist of q violation of
law should the case be put to trial, so
the Solicitor Of the Treasury advised the
Secretary that while under the circun-
stances of the case he should not advise
prosecution, yet he would suggest "that
the development and exercise Of a talent
so capable of mischief should not be en-
couraged in direction which might
lead to embarrassment and discontinue. :"
This means that the artist Will be
warned to let imitation of United States
money alone hereafter and to exercise
his genius in some other direction un-
less he wants to get into trouble. The
picture will be returned to its owner.

a Growing People.

In round numbers the population of
the United States increases at the rate
], 100000 year. The census of 1880
showed a population of over 5O,0OO,OOO
and close estimates based on local CEN
suses give in 1886 56,000,000. OF this
increase about one-third is from abroad.
Two natives reach the stage of action for
one foreign resident. The ratio of native
increase must in the future be greater, as
the native element is constantly growing
larger while the foreign is about station
ary. The immigration for last year was
a little larger than that of 1884 and this
year promises to exceed the last; but
both years show decrease on several
preceding years. Many thoughtful per-
sons are apprehensive of future trouble
through this rapid increase of population,
so largely drawn from foreign sources.
The spectacle of from 300,0 900 to 100000
foreigners being absorbed annually into
our industrial force is one, they think,
which cannot be continued without in
time producing serious disturbance. It
should be borne in mind that when
foreigner comes to this country and be-
comes a part OF its laboring force, he be-
comes also a part Of its consuming force.
In many cases he does work in this coun-
try which in his absence would be done
in Europe. Until the population ap-
proaches the limit of our producing
capacity, the foreigner may as well work
here as in Europe. We now export grains
and meats which are consumed in Europe,
and the product of the consumers labor
is sent to us. When the laborer comes
over and works in this country, he con-
sumes more Of our agricultural products
than when he is in Europe and he only
adds to the consuming force. In time
the foreign immigration will decrease in
actual numbers, as it is already decreas-
ing relatively. The number of born
Americans is every year larger, and viii
increase for years; but the inducements
for foreigners to come here will grow less
and less The immigration question is
therefore largely one of the imagination,
so long as it is confined to the Caucasian
race. The politicians who are disturbed
over it live a quarter of century too
late. This country has passed success
fully through the danger they now think
they see in the future Whatever peril
there may may have been IN that ques-
ton when the nation was young and the
native population small has now passed
away.-San Francisco Call.

The Power to Prohibit.

When a legislature says that on GER
tain conditions man shall be authorized
to sell Intoxicating liquors, and that un-
less he meets those conditions he shall
not have the right to do it, the legisla-
ture by that act assumes the right to
prohibit the sale of liquors; for if its
prescribed conditions are such that no
one will accept them, prohibition be-
comes fact, ii the law is enforced; and
whether it is enforced or not, the legis-
lature has recognized the principle and
has assumed prohibitory power. 1t does
the same when it enacts that no person
shall sell intoxicating drinks as a bever-
age from Il o'clock midnight until SIX
o'clock in the morning. If for the pub
lie good, and because the public interest
is promoted by it, a law can be made to
close the saloons part OF the time. for
the same reason law could be made to
close them all the time. If to promote
this public good it is right to restrict the
business, it is right, for the public good,
to annihilate business. This is what law
is for, and it is not only its legitimate
function, it is its solemn duty as well to
abate nuisances, to put an end to crime,
and at ali possible points to protect So
ciety. There is no more reason to
question the right of the government to
forbid the sale Of Intoxicating liquors as
beverages than to question its right to
forbid arson and murder. 1t has as
much right to close saloons as it has to
close gambling dens ard houses of pros
titution. Having the right to prohibit
for an hour, it has the right to prohibit
forever. Legislation which already ez-
lists assumes all the constitutional power
necessary to make prohibition fact,
and what we need now is not more legis-
lative function, but a public opinion
which will demand the necessary leg1sla-
ton and the enforcement Of the law.
The voter is the power behind the throne
in this country. The lawmaker listens
for the voice Of his constituents, and the
executive officer does the same thing,
and if the voice is sufficiently imperative
it is regarded. a mere whisper is not
enough, but when it thunders it is usual
" obeyed. Western Christian Advocate.

Not Il Drunken Nation.

Really and truly We are not a drunken
nation. There is sadly too much drink
ing, and there is an intinity Of crime and
poverty resulting from it, but it is GER
tain that we drink less per capita than
our fathers did, and it is also certain
that the mode and matter OF drinking
has undergone great change in the last
twenty-five years, and is still undergoing
change. Fashion makes custom, and it
is no longer the custom to drink rum,
as our New England ancestors did,
or whisky, as our Southern ancestors
did. Wine and beer are now the staple
drinks of those who consume intoXl-
cantS. We also drink slowly, and,
therefore, more decorously than We used
to do. And because We drink more
slowly We also drink less. We are not
a leisurely people. We cannot sit an
hour over two or three glasses Of beer,
as an Englishman or German does, or
over 4 half pint of very thin wine, as .
Frcnchman or Spaniard does. And
therefore we are not likely to become u
nation of slow guzzlers. 1t cannot now
be said, nor is il probable that it can
ever be truthfully said, of the American
as it is of the English constitution, that
sit floats III beer" We DO not pity 4
drunken man as the European people
do, or, if in such case
Some pity lives,
That pity half despises, half forgiycs;
'Tis mixed with shame, It's not from
grief exempt,
And savors very largely Of contempt.
We look upon drunkenness IS 4 mis-
fortune. We regard it as Il major or 4
minor crime, according to the magnitude
or minitnde OF its evil consequence.
The vice OF drunkenness IL America IS
in a sure and not very slow process ot
diminution. We are thiu-sklnned Eo!E,
| impatient OF ritlicule and intolcrant q
contempt, and the tone OF modern
society is that Of ridicule and contempt
toward drunkards. Iwo of the strong
