Judge Sherwood last Monday hand
ed down q decision to the effect that
the Act of 1857, relative to keeping
open saloons in the city of st. Louis,
had never been legally adoptea-the
law requiring the ordinance to receive
q majority of all persons entitled to
vote, while at said election when there
were over $4,000 qualified voters, only
5.065 voted for it. The decision is good
law and good sense. and subserves the
equal rights of all citizens. st. Louis
has no more just right to have open
saloons on Sunday than has Ironton.
Let the saloon be closed on that day all
over the State.

"And find she's mighty sociable with God"
How proud her spirit must be! Looks

P. Walker would not have had money
enough to meet all his appointments

We agree with the Doniphan Pros
pect-Ne,os that candidates from the
South east for State officers ought to
canvass the other parts of the common
wealth. The Southeast is always solid
for its favorite sons, and generally fritz
tiers away her influence without doing
any good for them. Unaided by other
sections, she can never do anything I'D
that way, and her candidates ought to
govern themselves accordingly.

Thinking democrats have learned that all
democracy does for them is to tax them.
So says our Republican contempora-
~, the Pennington Democrat. Over
in Republican Illinois-Republican for
twenty-five years - the tax for State
purposes is .ffty-three cents on the
hundred dollars, while in Democratic
Missouri - Democratic for eighteen
years-it is taOenty cents on the hun
dred dollars. That, too, while we are
paying interest on State debt con-
tracted principally by Republicans
when they were in Pc wer while Illinois
has no such burden. For gall-pure,
unadulterated gall-and naughty indif-
ference to fact, commend to us the Re-
publican editor on the trail of "reform."

The Touch of a Mothers Hand.

Why is a mothers hand on the head of a
sick child so soothingl Because her love
supplies electricity, which is curative force
and tonic Animal electricity is an agency
not so well understood as it should be ty
women, though they use it continually. Il
is enormously confounded with the massage
treatment, which is nothing more or less
than merely rubbing the entire body Ami
NAL electricity is impaired by careful manip-
ulation of the muscles, performed by gently
stretching them with both hands This pro-
duces an elasticity of action which causes
them to rise, thereby increasing their power
to act.
Women, whose fingers are supple and ye,
strong, can best impart electricity TO their
children. The treatment should be applied
mainly with the fingers. When the nerves
are Frustrated they can be invigorated in tho
same way. They should be gently pressed
il one direction and another, which tends 70
increase their vitality The general circula-
ton can be increased by lightly moving the
hands over the surface of the blood vessels,
not rubbing them briskly, but using enough
force TO quicken the circulation Women
car become thorough animal electricians if
they will but devote themselves to a careful
study Of anatomy. The world is fun of half
invalid women, who should be restored to
health by this natural method -Woman's
ArGosy.

The Gloss That Shines.

I The gloss that shines on the collar and cuffs
Of the city youth often causes the envy Of his
country cousin. We do not greatly admire
this high polish, except that it does repel dirt,
and linen will keep spotless much longer than
with the ordinary surface. A skilled laun-
dryman, when asked what was the secret of
this work, replied: 'The secret is pressure,
nothing more" The pressure of moving hot
cylinders is used in steam laundries. In a
recent visit to steam laundry we were much
interested in the patent appliances for IRON
ing cuffs and collars to make them look like
new, and we found the linen was passed be-
tween two moving hot cylinders under a
pressure of 100 pounds, and thus received the
high polish. But the ordinary ironer viii
succeed well if after being sure that the
articles are washed thoroughly. rinsed free
from all traces of soap, and dipped in pure,
clean, boiled starch, not too stiff Shewin
use clean, smooth irons and bear down
heavily upon the linen with the rounded edge
of the iron There should be 10 soft blanket
for it TO sink into, as the polish is produced
by the fattening Of the linen through the
pressure
There are patent CLOSES and starches of
various kinds widely advertised to produce
polish on linen, but it is best to adhere to the
common starch bought in the bulk and of the
best grade. Some persons stir the hot starch
once or twice around with a spermaceti can
die kept for the purpose, and others add
bit of clean mutton tallow, but it is best to
add with caution all foreign substances, such
as wax, gumarabic, salt or sugar. Good re-
suits can be procured with pure starch alone.

and fences for the purpose, OF course, OF OBJ
securing their numbers. Except when sub.
jected TO the painful necessity OF going in on
charge IA man may fight all day with hardly
a look at the face of an enemy. The line OF
battle made by great armies is usually four
or five miles long, with Instructions of vari
Gus kinds on the line of sight. 1t is some
times the case that one flank of an army has
a very desperate fight and wins a victory
when the men on the other flank can hardly
be convinced that anything more than little
skiImishing had been done. Even the charge
is not what the imagination paints it. A thin
gray, black, blue Or green line Of troops, one
of the extremities so distant as to be hardly
visible, does not cut very imposing figure
running across a half milo Of open field
against an invisible foe. Only the flashing,
smoking batteries on the ridges and hilltops
are grand. Particular incidents Of battle
are about all that can be painted effectively
and they must all be represented in the fore
