er refuses to appeal the case to the Supreme
court of the United States, and as she is the
nominal plaintiff it cannot be appealed with
out her consent. After the fall elections q
genuine test case can be made and carried to

The license law in New Jersey is working
more effectively than it was expected to. The
liquor dealers themselves begin to see that
the law is calculated to shut out the competi-
tion of great number of concerns which be-
cause of character or insufficient business
cannot secure licenses. Accordingly they are
beginning to use the law, with prospect of
important results, for. the extinction of the,
unlicensed establishments. The following ia
taken from a charge delivered by Supreme
Court Judge Jonathan Dixon to the grand
jury of Bergen county at Hackensack: have
lying on the desk before me Communication
coming from the liquor sellers Of the county,
the licensed liquor sellers of the county, those

nifty for the privilege of carrying on special
business which is committed to them alone.
They communicate to the court in away
which I say is unique. They say there are in
this county 100 places where the liquor laws
of the State are violated by the unlicensed
sale of liquor, and they propose to lay those
cases before you. They are joining hands
now, and perhaps they have been doing it,
less publicly, heretofore, but they now are
publicly joining hands with all those who are
engaged in, and who are desirous of the sup
preston OF, the illegal traffic in intoxicating
liquor, and they say they are ready to lay
before your body evidence which will indi-
cate where these 100 places in the county are,
who the offenders against law are. If those
matters alone were laid before you it would
indicate a. very large amount of business to
be done. I trust it will have your earnest
investigation and your fearless prosecution
not unfair, not prejudiced, not vindictive, but
fearless, simple, straightforward.

TAx1TToNIN ENGLAND.


The free traders talk about the terrible tax
which is laid on the people of this country by
protection, and they intimate that If free
trade were only adopted here the taxpayer
could feel great deal easier. But the taxes
are felt even in countries which have the
blessing of free trade" In England, for
instance, man can hardly engage in busi-
ness of any kind without paying a tax for
the privilege. The government taxes him
if he peddles goods, sells confectionery at
wholesale or retail, opens a restaurant or
starts thestsr. If he GETS up as physi-
clan the government mulcts him in the sum
of $125. If he leases house worth 800 or
more per year he is taxed on his lease. If
he makes written agreement to do or buy
anything he must pay tax on the agree
ment. He cannot study law with licensed
attorney without first paying $500 tax for
the privilege, and then he must pay $3.50 be-
fore he can practice. He pays $3.50 for the
right to sell goods by auction. He Is taxed
on his notes, mortgages, conveyance deeds,
carriages and horses, male servants, and even
on the ballots he casts at the polls. If his
rich uncle leaves him legacy he must pay
part of ii to the government. II he In smart
enough to make,a little money and earn as
much as $3.50 per year he must pay an in
come tax. He cannot sell share of stock,
or nave a copy of legal document made, or
keep gun, or hunt partridges, but he must
pay a tax to the government, and this is only
glimpse of the system Of taxation which
free trade imposes. The Englishman has the
tax collector under his nose at every turn,
and all for the sake Of giving the great Brit
ish manufacturer and merchant chance to
import goods free of taxation.
Making foreign manufacturers help pay fer
the suppors of the government isn't a. fool
ish as it seems to the free traders. The sys-
tenn of taxation which prevails in England
wouldn't be very popular IN this country.

LuxurIes which Have Caused Scands

LuxurHes which Have Caused Scandal
In q Boston school.
A sad scandal has recent been developed
in boarding school for boys not far from
the Back bay, writes Boston correspondent
of the Albany Argus. 1t is very swell estab-
lishment where none but seious of the best
Boston families are given instruction. and
the discipline, so far as good manners and
correct department. are concerned, is astonish-
ingly rigorous. Each pupil is compelled to
60 wash his hands and face according to q
prescribed method, his garments must be as
sumed upon getting out of bed in a certain
order, and at table the exercise of eating is
regarded chiefly as an educational pursuit
The unfortunate youth is drilled in the eti-
aueste of the festive board to point of re-
6nsment that would take away the appetite
of any grown person. In the gastrononic
code of propriety taught, rule number one
is to the effect that the young boarder must
in all cases, and no matter how much sur
feited he may be, consume everything on
his plate, without leaving 30 much as q
morsel, unless possibly bone. a corrollary
to this declares that no fresh buckWheat cakes
are to be distributed at breakfast until the
previous batch has been disposed Of, and
also that no one is to have his for lunch un-

slice of bread and butter. There was always
more or less rebellion against these oppressive
laws, until within the last few months during
which they have been obeyed with a readi-
ness which might reasonably have excited the
susricion Of the master. All would have
gone smoothly however, had it not been for
the discoveries made in the process of this
summers house cleaning at the school. In
cidentally to the purifying operation, it was
observed that many Of the dining tables and
chairs were ornamented beneath with strange
fungus like growths, resembling nothing in
particular, but evidently of vegetable ma
ture 1t was not until some time had been
spent in elucidating the mystery that the
secret at the bottom of it was finally discov-
cred. 1t seems that boys-inspired by the
inventive faculty of some ingenious school,
mate-were accustomed to get rid of any
stale plates of cake which stood in the way
of new supplies by jabbling steel fork

TEaOHTNG EMRALMING.


A College with a FuII-Rled@ed Facul-
~ and an Extended Currfculum.
"a college of embalming, with full
fsdged faculty, curriculum and the necessary
auxiliaries, Ia the latest stride toward the
establishment of the undertaken as profess
ional N an" said city undertaken to re-
preventative of the New York Mail few
days ago.
f'Ths process of embalming Is to be ac-
eepted by the undertaken as a necessary ad-
junct of his calling in theimmediafs future.
The revival of the art has found favor, and
the demand thus fostered has necessitated
the creation of bona fde college of instruc-
ton where In the undertaken might derive q
more thorough and practical knowledge of
the organization of the human body than he
is possessed of at the present time, for, in
truth, many practising undertaken have no
other qualities of value to society than
strong stomach and q readiness to work both
night and day, for, as you know, the under
takers Office is never closed"
'eAbout this college-its curriculum en-
braces what?"
ly explaining the arterial, venous, capillary
absorbent systems), physiology, or the science
of natural organization of the human body,
lectures on morbid anatomy, exemplifyng
the post-mortem condition of the body, in re-
1ation to the cause of death, and elucidation
of the embalming process, illustrated by de-
monstrations on the dead subject, when pup
lis will be required to preform the different
operations incident to the subject"
sfDo you consider embalming the most de-
sirable method of disposing of the dead?
Has there not been other methods used which
are equally valuable?"
ssThe failure of cremation leaves the civil
zed world still in doubt as to how it shall best
dispose of its dead, and the brains of the un-
oring to conceive solution of the problem
or offer compromise. The result is COM
promise in reality another revival of an an
cient mbalming-not in the tedi-
GUS and Iaborious manner of the Egyptians,
however, but in practicable and easily ap-
piled fashion.
eThe argument of modern embalming is to
the effect that body may be preserved and
the Ife-lks appearance retained or repro
duced where ante-mortem decomposition
has ensued to slight extent. In this 1t diff
fers very much from the intent OF the ancient
or so-ealled Egyptian custom, which simply
sought to preserve the body from decay. In
the United States embalming received its
first impetus during the civil war, and many
of the bodies of officers and soldiers of both
armies were emba1med by army phyEfoians
and sent home.
"Schools of embalming are now in opera
ton in many cities, having an attendance of
90 or more undertaken students. As an aid
to his pupils, the lecturer displays his skill
upon the body of some unfortunate contri-
buted by the city morgue, and with great
rapidity lays bare the femoral brachial arter-
les the principal ones usep, and which, by
application of a system Of measure
ment explained by the lecturer, are found to
be easy of access"
