A Prohibition Law Invalid.

WAsHINGToN-A decision has been rem
dered IN the supreme court in the case of
Bowman Bros. vs.. the Chicago i North
western railroad company, which involves
the validity of the Iowa law forbidding
the railroad company to bring in oxicat-
ing liquor into that state unles such com
paoy had been furnished with certificate
from the county auditor of the county to
which the liquor is to be transported
showing that the consignee is legally au
thorizod to sell it. The court holds that
the power to regulate or forbid the sale
of commodity after it has been brought
into the state does not carry with it the
right and power to prevent its introduc-
tlon by transportation from another state.
The section of the Iowa statute of April 5,
1886, which prohibits railroad companies
from bringing liquor into the state, is
there fore declared to be invalid and the
judg ment of the United States circuit
court for the northern district of Illinois
is reversed, the chief Justice and Justices
Gray and Harlan 2Issenting.

but the log has nothing weetever to do
with the sound produced. The bird
while drumming assumes an upright
position and droops his wings until the

de then by an intense muscular effort,
makes quick spasmatic beats with his
wings. In doing this, the ends of the
wing feathers may, and perhaps some
times do, toCch the log; bus it Is the in
tense culver of the flight feathers, as
they come in contact with the still air, in
the short and intensely rapid beats that
produce the soft, yet powerful and far
reaching sound. No impact of feather
or feathers, with solid substances
peclahy a moss covered log-could ever
mace such sound, capable of being
heard quarter of mile.
Inc air seems to be filed with the
sound, soft as it is, and it seems TO come
to You from every direction, so that it
requires quick and practiced ear To
locate 1t correctly. This is proof nosi-
tive that it is produced bT yibratorv
action in the air, and not by The imnact

Sam SmaIl's Philosophy.

II was talking with physician a while
ago. He was from San Diego, and was
on his way to attend the great medical
conference at Washington. 1 asked him
what was the cause of all these malignant
diseases, smallpox, diptheria and the
like.
"' Every one of these Diseases he said
is traceable to one cause
"' And what is that?' / asked.
"' f lth,' he said
S. Dye mean that?'
"' Yes, every one of them is traceable
to filth in his own yard, or SOMEBODY else
yard
Every moral disease that ever killed
a soul comes from one cause-sin az ainst
God. I'm poor sinner Your living q
filthy life. | mean morally! Morally
Some women who are looking me in the
face with cor temwt, If they were to stand
up would be found covered with filth.
And that same person has enough moral
corruption and sin about her to damn
her whole family and every body con-
trolled by her Influence. 1t reminds me
of a fellow who washes his hands half an
hour before he eats. He's mighty par
ticular about his hands, he is. But he
sits down and eats from table so filthy
that hog would not look at it."

Writing for q Living

1.-The magazine has come to be the patb-
way that leads into literary society, said
an editor of a leading periodical to the
writer yesterday, but the pathway is a
long and rough oAe, and unless the plod-
der Is amply proxisioned before he begin
his journey, he is likely to be starved out
on the route. There is no subject in
which are more generally mistaken ideas
than on the remuneration of literary
work in magazines. There is a popular
impression that the we'll known contri-
buffers can earn princeIy incomes by
their articles. People have heard so
much about the $4,000 year which Mr..
Howell gets for his work in Harper's,
that they think all the better known
writer's receive something like the same
amount for their work But nothing
could be further from the truth. I am
quite sure that the contribute $, whose
names are seen oftenestin the periodicals
do not, on an average, earn $1,000 year
from this kind of work, and that much
only by persistant labor.
Il assure you that any man, however
gifted, who would depend for subsistence
on contributions to the magazines, would
soon become a Grub street speeiment.
Newspaper work pays far better, and
that Is why so few newspaper mems
names are seen in the magazines. An
able Journalist could earn a sure 800 on
a newspaper during the time it would
take him TO get up $50 magazine arti-
Gle, which insight find its way back to him
with thanPk, etc. Writing these articles
is very well as an adjunct to an income
from other sources, but to any one who
would think of settling down to gain
subsistence by them / would say: You
will lead happier and more comfortable
life with the pick and shovel"

A Great Fortune Made by bad Slip.

OLD time Pittsburghers wonld hardly
need an Introduction to Philip Wine
biddle, founder of the Winebiodle estate
in East Liberty. About sixty years ago
his mother gave him $500 as starter"
The "go west fever" had not AS yet agita
ted staid eastern communities, but Pnilip
was fired with a restless ambition TO go
west. aud seeing but little prospect for a
great future for Pittsburg, he iourneyed
toward the setting sun, and after much
meaudering, he halted at the city of Erie
then little more than lakeside hamlet.
Philis had considerable knowledge of
land titles, and as he was offered 100 acres
in the town for $500, he grasped eagerly
at the supposed bargain, but shortly
afterward relented, and wanted his money
back. But real estate deals are not gen.
orally made on the basis of "refunding
the money if the goods are not satisfac-
tory" and Philip had to keep his land.
He came back to his mother in Pittsburg,
broken hearted over his i'll luck, and
cried like child at what he considered a
robbery of his $500. and both agreed it
was a ''bad slip" for Philip. Thirty
years later this land could rot be bought
for 100000, and is now worth nearly
S4OCO,0O0.

TIE Little Boys Prayer.
Living Church

Here is one which we can vouch for: I
have an infant class in Sunday school and
the parents of one of my little ones have
great deal trouble to get him to stay
in the class after church. He insists that
one of them shall stay with him. No
amount of pursuation will induce him TO
stay alone, and the consequence is ne is
usually taken home and punished. This
was the case last Sunday, and when bed
time came his mother told him to ask God
to make him better boy and make him
willing to stay in Sunday school. So he
said his prayer: 80, God, make me
letter hoy, and make me willing to stay
in Sunday school, and please MAKE my
mamma to stay with me-"

Character and Composition of Cream.


Cream is the fatty portion of the milk
which rises to the top when the milk stands
at rest. The difference in the specific
gravity of cream and milk necessarily
causes this separ alton; indeed, to some
extent, this separation is partly made in
reservoirs of the udder, for it is we'll
established fact, that the first drawn milk
is less rich In cream or fat than that
drawn at the end of the milking.
The cream rises more rapidly under
certain circumstances, as when the milk
Is set in deep pals in cold water, at
temperature of 45 degrees, when all the
cream is raised through I8 or 20 inches
of milk in twelve hours; while at so de-
grees it will require thirty hours to rise
com pletely through three inches of milk
set IN shallow pans. Also when the milk
is deluted with water, the cream rises
more quickly, because the milk becomes
less adherent. The low temperature of
40 degrees reduces the milk to almost
its maximum density. which is at thirty-
nine degrees; hence the cream is com
paratiyely lighter than at higher tenn
perature. This fact is taken advantage
of in the use of the Geep pals and low
temperature for setting milk or cream !;
an innovation which has been of the
greftest value in butter making. The
cream raised in this manner Is, however,
more fluid, and has more milk mixed
with it than that raised in shallow pans;
but this is also an advantage, because it

HIS LAST ILLNESS.

Cause of the Sudden Demise OF Justice Waite
To be Buried at Toledo, Ohio
WASHINGTON, March 2G.-Chief Justice
Waite, of the United States supreme
court, died at his residence in this city at
6:10 O'Clock this morning.
The chief justice was in his usual
health, though exhausted by his recent
severe labors, until Saturday night when
on returning from Senator Hearst's,
where, with his daughter, he attended a
reception, he complained of chill
This feeling passed off during the night,
but he remained in bed through
out Sunday and until it was
time for him to go to the court on Mon
day. Suffering then from malise and
vague indisposition he did not read the
opinion in the telephone case, but sat
through its reading and then returned
to his home. He was wakeful Mon
day night and on Tuesday morning
symptoms of acute bronchitis ap-
peared, accompanied by insomnia and
great restlessness. His condition Tues
day was not alarming but on Wednesday
circumscribed pneumonia showed itself
During Thursday night he was comfort.
able, and no particular alarm was felt but
at O'Clock this morning failure of the
hearts action was observed, and at Clio
he passed away.
Justice Waite's illness was due to
trouble Nth his liver and spleen; com
plicated by very painful stomach dis.
orders. Justice Waite had a very SER
Gus fiji of sickness just at the close of tt
administration of President Arthur. He
was confined to his house for several
weeks with an attack of erysipelas that
threatened at one time to have a fataI
termination. The serious character of
his illness at that time was not generally
known until after the crisis had been
passed, and 1t was not until he became
we'll enough to DO up and about his house
on [ street that newspaper para graphs
appeared reporting him to be in danger.
The Justice was a-haIe man to look at,
but he had a stroke of paralysis some
years ago and his friends we're soIicitous
about him on that account, fearing a re-
currence of the old symptoms. After his
recovery from that illness he travelled and
sought recreation by prolonged abstention
from the duties Of the supreme court.
Chief Justice Waite's daughter, Miss
Mary F. Waite, and his son, G. G. Waite,
vice president of the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton & Dayton railroad, were with him
when be died. DIS Caroline B. Wins
low and Frank A. Gardiner were in attend
ance. Mrs. Waite left Washington for
California about week ago and is sup
posed now to be in Los Angeles.
Arrangements for the funeral have not
as yet been made. The chief justice will
be buried in Toledo, Ohio.
