Inronnitx on noth Sides.

A gentleman about to close his summer house at Nahant conceived what he con- sidered brilliant idea to insure the daily personal inspection of every room in his villa during the winter by the od man in whose charge the establishment was to be left. Accordingly, he said to the old man that he should leave all his clocks, one in each room, at Nahant during the winter, and he desired that every one should be wound up at regular hour each day. The old man concurred in the plan with all his heart, and promised he would not fail. The house was closed. The owner bragged good deal about his scheme for having every room guarded against leaks, etc., during the winter, and came to Boston. A week or two afterward this gentleman thought he would take run down to Nahant, and see how things were going. When he arrived there he found his man, who was very glad to see him, and told him that he had wound each clock faithfully as he had directed. On entering the house the two proceeded to the rear drawing room, and the astonish- ment of the owner may be better imagined than described when he saw ranged along in Q row his thirteen clocks, which the old man had brought down to save him self the trouble of going all over the house every day.-Boston Gazette.

A Lunch Box Needed.

A prominent physician says that chil- dren's school luncheons should not be placed in the old fashioned lunch basket or tin box, as bad odors always cling to a much used receptacle. What he rec emmends is fresh, clean napkin wrapped neatly round the bread and butter or other edibles, and pasteboard box to hold it all The box can then be thrown away when the meal is done. The good sense of this will strike every person given to wholesome living, and it will also delight the box manufacturers, who should immediately get up cheap little box especially adapted to the con- veyance of school luneheons. Parents, no doubt, would be glad to buy these boxes as they buy matches, by the quan- tity, should they supersedc the luncheon basket. Boston Herald.

Lnndon.s Religions Life.

The bishop of Lcndon has recently made public some interesting statistics on the religious life of the great city. Ac- cording to his figures the average number of communicants at communion services of the Established church during the year was 47,T14. At Easter the number rose to 99,000. The average attendance at Sunday morning services was 200, ,690; at Sunday evening services, 205, ,49G London is a remarkable church going city, but this exhibit shows that it has about 4,000, 900 inhabitants who don t attend tie services of the Established church, and that those who do constitute only about one-ninth of the population.

Care of reeble Infants.

Our dispatches announced the other day that scientific Frenchman had in vented an apparatus, something like a chicken incubator. for taking care of babies of low vitality. The idea seems to be that new born infants, so feeble that they cannot be nourished in natural way, are to be placed in a case Of proper toAnperature and built up artihcially. It has frequently been charged against France that there is scarcity of babies over there. Let us hope that the propo- sition to take better care of those with which the land is favored will lead to the improvement of the Gallic race.-New York World.

DURING the past century greater strides
have been made in TEN perance reform
than in any other channel of human pro-
gress. The older people of to-day all
remember that theiL parents Or grand
parents used to always keep whisky on
the mantIepiece, and it was thought mere
hospitality to treat their visitors to a
drink. The harvest hands carried their
whisky jug to the fields, and the best
people 1ndulged. What grand reform
has been wrought in this respect! But it
is not due to prohibitory laws. It is the
work of the church, the Sunday hool,
and the free schools. The general I'D
vance of enlightenment is lifting every
one up to higher plane of morality.
Men in the United States are growing
better because, under our pr Effective tariff,
they have improved means OF living, are
happier and think more OF themselves.
They rise above the old, rude methods
of enjoyment and seek more refined
society makes them better. Law never
can do that. Criminal laws are but one
step removed from the old whipping post
and the soourage. They represent VIC
lence and not the refined methods by
which men are lifted to higher plane of
being. The liquor traffic is here. Let
US deal with it practically. Tax it. Make
it pay for its existence in the commun
ity. Regulate it, restrain it; curb
it within the narrowest possible
limits. Taxation and license are practi-
cally the same. Two Supreme Courts of
Ohio, entertained totally different opin-
ions as to whether the Dow law was tax
or a license. But no one questions its
salutary results. Taxing the liquor
traffic does not approve or authorize its
existence any more than tax upon dogs
recognize their right TO kill sheep.
Taxation is the great sovereign power
that lies at the foundation of all govern
ment. Everything should be taxed &C
cording to it's means and character.
Churches are entirely exempted from
taxation because of the good they do.
The liquor traffic should be taxed in pro
portion to the harm it does. By attack
ing this evil in the line of taxation, we fol-
low the Oldest and best estabis bed lines
of legislation. 1t is sure to be practical
1t is g method based upon the best ex-
perience offered by history. It is like
adding another division TO the Grand
Army corps; like the arrival Of B ucher
to the almost victorious legions OF Well
ipgton at Waterloo. High licerse. or
taxation, will supplement the work OF
the church, the schools and the press in
moral reform and aid in gradually slifting
men up to a higher plane of morality.

The Administrations Economy.

The bottom fact of the business is that
President Cleveland, the Reformer and
head of the Economical Democracy, will
have spent 95,000,0 900 more for four
years than Presidents Garfield and Ar
thur in the latest term of Republican
Administration. If the President did
not think the money ought to be expend-
ed he had power to veto bills, and in
most cases also had power to prevent
expenditures which were left to Execu-
tive discretion. He has taken the money
and thus far has spent it, and his Adj
ministration has every year asked fer
more. Every year it has implored a
Democratic majority in the House to
vote vastly larger sums than even his
partisan friends were willing to vote,
and the sums actually voted were vastly
larger than Republican Administration
received from Congress. Thus the
Democratic false pretense Of economy in
administration goes where the false pre-
tense of reform in the civil service has
gone. In both respects the party has
been trying to deceive the people. -NeaC

HIGH LICENSE BETTER THAN PROHIBITION
There Is scarcely country in the world
whose history does not furnish indubita-
BILE proofs OF the inefficacy of arbitrary
legislation in securing reforms in any
thing depending upon the appetites and
personal tastes OF men. Every great
nation Jour own excepted) has contribut-
ed TO the wisdom of history on this sub
ject. A law which absolutely prohibits
the indulgence of an appetite IS invaria-
bly, dead letter. A law which attempts
by fiscal means to regulate, restrain and
to confine within certain limits, the in.
diligence OF an appetite can be enforced
, because the worldwide machinery of
taxation stands ready to assume the de-
tails of its execution, and its enforcement
is always productive of beneficial practi-
cal results. In the Republic of Venice,
when the people were running to extrav
agant excuses in living, decree prohi-
bited women from having in their
wardrobe more than three dresses of a
certain expensive material. In France
under similar circumstances, law pun
ished by fine and imprisonment, the as
senbling of more than twelve persons,
besides relatives, at wedding or other
oonvivial gathering. In Russia, Peter
the Great, wishing TO force his people to
adopt the habits and dress of Western
Europe, prohibited the wearing of boards.
The parliament held IN Westminster,
England, in 1868, passed laws to restrain
undue expenditure and TO regulate the
dress of the several classes of people.
Under Edward Ii, proclamation was
issued against 'the outrageous and exces-
sive multitude of meats and drinks" used
by great men, "ss well as persons of in
ferior rank initiating the example" All
such laws and proclamations were inef-
fectual. After numerous repeals and re-
enactments they were dropped, and great
statesmen became practically unanimous
in their reprobatIon of the policy of
legislative compulsion in matters OF
appetite. But when a heavy tax took
the place of prohibition the desired re
form began to be realized. No one es-
capped the tax-gathersr. The tax was
paid for few years until the people up
on whom it fell decreased to so small q
number that its collection was abandoned
Thirty years after the adoption of the
Maine prohibitory law, Neal Dow and hi;
friends were still clamoring for more
prohibitory legislation. The Ohio tax
law was fully enforced the first day i
went into operation. 1t has closed 1000
saloons, nearly half the number in tn,
State, and yields a revenue of two and {
quarter million dollars.

Republican Recruits.

Mr.. J. c. Grant. u Chicago manufac-
turer, who WIS in Om1..a on business,
told a reporter of the Republican that he
had never vr voted 1T any election, but
added: Il si'a vote this wear and take
several hundred woykingmen-employ
of mine-to the polls. And every one
of us will vote for Harrison and Morton.
l tell you, sir, also. that | am not the
only manufacturer who will do the same
thing. This question Of protection VS..
free trade, as construed by Mr.. Cleve-
land, makes me warm under the collar
l am not theorist, but practicalist,
and my practicabi,ity shows me that
pauperIsm turks in Ceveland's teachings,
and with hundreds of other manufacture
ers | have joined hands to do all in our
power to defeat Cleveland and the party
that has assembled to second his country
killing ideas. Yes, sir, never voted be-
fore in my life-strange as it may seem
but | shall vote next November, and
so will every man in my employe vote,
the straight Republican ticket"
Gen. E. C. Darlington of Prince
Georges County, Maryland, writes a
long letter to the Baltimore american
giving his reasons for refusing to vote
for Cleveland and Thurman and support
ing Harrison and Morton. Gen. Car
rington has been vigorous democrat
for several years. He was captain in
the Mexican war and a member of the
Legislature of Virginia and afterwards
States Attorney for the District of
Columbia under Lincoln for six or eight
years. Gen. Darlington makes a strong
case out Of why soldiers should not
vote for Cleveland, but support Harri-
son.
It is stated that at Harrison and
Morton meeting in Hornellsville, n. Y,
a few days ago, man who never voted
anything but democratic ticket in his
life was made Chairman of the meeting,
six ex-democrats were made vice-presi-
dents, six more were made secretaries,
and one of the two speakers was a man
who stumped the state for Cleveland
four years ago. -Four years ago Cleve-
lard carried the township by SO majority;
this year it is expected to give 200 ma
jority for Harrison and Morton.
J. J. Cole, foreman of the Indianapolis
Car Works, who has heretofore been a
democrat, announces in an interview
that he will vote the solid republican
ticket this year. Mr.. Cole says: Il am
not leaving the Democratic party-it is
leaving me. Since 1860 l have voted
the democratic ticket, and | can say one
thing that but few men can. As long as
| have been a voter have never scratch
ed ticket. Never in my life have
voted even for a republican councilman
