HOME RULE.

It is noticeable circumstance that
every movement made by Mr.. Parnell
and supported by Mr.. Gladstone brings
the great question Of Home Rule days
march nearer home. The opponents of
the scheme have indirectly conceded that
the principle is right, and now all that
remains to be done is for the Nationalist
party to hold firm. It is true that, with
the hope Of delaying the issue. and Sc
curing temporary power, an attempt is
being made to raise unfounded fears
and embitter old feuds. But these tao
tics will have to give way before the in
evitable success Of the measure
Throughout the length and breadth Of
the Queens colonies the people are in
favor Of Home Rule, because they feel
it to be unreasonable to deny 20 Ireland
what they hold as belonging to the very
alphabet of freedom. They have too
much confidence in the wisdom of Mr..
Gladstone to believe that he would for
one moment even hint at anything shat
would have tendency to involve I'M
perial disruption. He has never con-
tended for anything but what all are
nearly now ready to concede, and what
not only ireland, but England and Scot
land are making preparations to de-

dorsed by overwhelming naajorities in
Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and came

into account the large number Of his
followers who were elected without a
vote, and therefore by majorities SO
overwhelming that even the. form of e.

change within the past decade! Sails

the most conspicuous fgure-the one
whose movements are most watched,
and, and whose utterances are most

HON. EDMUND RICE FOR CONGRESS.


The Democratic Congressional Con-
venvention has every reason to feel
proud Of it's work. The nomination Of
Hon Edmund Rice as candidate for the
Fourth District was grand conception
of the old maxim, ''the right man in the
right place." We doubt very much if
there could have been another person in
the district selected whose strength can
in any way approach that of Mr.. Rice.
No man can point the finger of scorn
at his record. Honorable, upright-a
man of sterling integdty---is Edmund
Rice. Every man who desires TO see our
political atmosphere purified, should re-
cord his vote for the unanimous choice
of the convention.

A RUMSEllER'S CRIME

a crime which, in many of its particti-
lars. recalls the famous murder of Love
joy, has, since the third of last August.
aroused and maintained feelings of the
intensest Indignation throughout the
state of Iowa. The prOhbitory law of
Iowa has not, like that of Vermont been
in force so long that law breakers have
ceased to think of organized resistance.
In some parts of Iowa there are lawless
crowds who regard the law and its work
ings in much the light that the game laws
are regarded by the Shackers of Maine.
1t was in Sioux City, place inhabited by
an element of this sort. that Rev. Geo
{. lladdock, ii Methodist minister, began
an active crusade against the rum shops
and 1t was in that city, on the night of
the 3D. of August, that he was shot in the
public street, while returning from taking
notice of the conduct of certain saloon
men. 1t is said that he had often been
threatened. and that he had for a LONG
time been expecting such an end to hi,
labors. However that may be. it is GER
tain that the murder was instigated by
saloon men and committed bv an agent
of theirs. In some respects it was more
shameful even than the murder of Love
joy; for while the anti-slaverv agitator
fell victim to the fury of mob. Had

The Effect of Some Colors

The aroma of red cedar is fatal to
house moths; the aroma of black wal
nut leaves is fatal to fleas. 1t is a mat
ter of common observation that persons
engaged in the business of making shin
giles from odoriferous cypress timber in
malarial districts are rarely, if ever, af-
fected by malarial diseases, and that
persons engaged in gathering and dis
tilling turpentine do not suffer from
either malarial diseases or consump-
ton.
1t is said that, when cholera was cpl

from epidemics unknown before; and in
times when cholera has prevailed in
London and Paris those employed in the
perfumery factories have escaped its
ravages. Boston Journal of Chemistry.

THE MARCH OF A CUSTOM
From the Atlanta Constitution.


The general observance of Thanksgiv-
ing day yesterday seemed quite matter
of course to the younger generation. Yet
in this part of the country it cannot be
called a time-honored custom.
The early Puritans felt so grateful for
their deliverance from savage foes. wild
beasts and the hostile elements of nature
that they set apart Il day of thanks giving
and prayer. For generations the GUS
tom was confined to New England. Grad
ually it spreads to the central States and
to such western communities as were
under the control of New England ideas.
The South stood soldly arrayed against
the observance of New England's most
notable day. Not until after the war
was there "a change. When our social
and political chaos gradually rounded
into shape, new conditions brought new
customs. and with them Thanks giving
day.
1t is well to borrow from our neighborS
all that is good and gracious and beaut-
full. The day dedicated by the New
Englanders to Almighty God in acknowl-
edgment of his manifold blessings has be-
come the religious holiday of great ma
ton. Its beneticent influence has brought
States and individuals nearer to each
other, and all nearer to their Maker.

ed this custom ''they builded wiser than

Method of House Ventilation.

In order to secure more healthy and
thorough ventilation, an English archi-
tect advises that rooms should be pro-
vided with many inlets for warmed fresh
air at the floor line the effect of which
would be to drive up all the impure air
toward the hotter stratum near the cell
ing; an outlet at the ceiling line would
then carry off the whole of the vitiated
air. Again, as the warm air begins to
rise as soon as it enters the room, the
more it is subdivided into separate inlets
the better because it will ascend by the
most direct line to the outlet; and, this
streams will move the general body of
air in the room more effectually than
one large current, which would be likely
to pass through the body of air without
affecting anything that did not happen
to be directly in its path
The temperature of the inflowing air,
he says, should be moderate and its We
locity low, but it is desirable that there
should be only one outlet for foul air
from an apartment, because if there
were more than one the draught might
be unequal, and then one would pull
against the other, causing flow of all
down one and up the other, instead OF
from the proper inlets. Of course, in
carrying out this arrangement for ven
tilation, the one outlet need not neces.
sarily appear as such in the apartment
as its mouth may easily be concealed by
a perforated cornice or other Device

A Skilfull Juggler.

NJ. Robert Houdin, in his delightful
autobiography, tells us that when he
had determined to become a onjurer
he began by learning to juggle as pre-
liminary training for his eyes and his
hand. He was instructed in the art by
a "pedicure" named Maous. who taught
him in a month to keep four balls in the
air at the same time. Then the future
master of magic, desiring to acquire the
faculty of doing two things at once-a
faculty of inestimable value to the
modern magician-improved on his
teachers instructions by training him
self to read while juggling. Il placed a
book before me-, he records, and while
my four balls were dancing in the air
accustomed myself to reading it with
out hesitation"
Thirty years later, when he sat down
to write his memoirs, he found that
although he had never performed this
feat in public, and very rarely had re-
peated it in private, he was still able tc
read while Juggling, but that he could
then only keep three balls in the air, and
not four, as he had done formerly. This
is additional evidence, were any needed
that although a dexterity acquired early
in life may diminish with the advancing
years and an abandonment of constant
practice, it is rarely lost altogether
