EXTRACT FROM HON. NEAL DOW's REPLY.
PORTLAND, Me May "a, 'S5.
DEAR SIR:-I have seen nothing in the
IatcIjqeneer which intimates that there is
not another and brighter side to the gloomy
picture it has drawn of the state of things
in Maine. 1t says nothing of the fact that
in more than three fourths OF the State
containing more than three fourths of oar
population, the liquor traffic is practically
unknown. In all our smaller towns and
villages and in our rural districts, the
saloon has ceased to be, so that an entire
generation has grown up there never bav-
ing seen one or the effects of one. Names
share of the national drink bill would be
now abont thirteen million dollars, but
one million will more than pay for all the
liquor struggled into the State and sold in
violation OF law. We save directly at least
twelve million dollars annually and indi-
rectly as much more, which, but for pro-
hibition, would be spent, lost and wasted
in drink. Maine, in the old rum time,
had many distilleries and brewerles, but
now not one Mr. Dow says, also, that
''the Republican party has taken upon it.
self the protection and defense OF the sa-
loon, and hence his war on that party, be-
lievipg "a he does that full success for
prohibition is impossible while it cumber-
eth the ground"
These letters are a sufficient evidence
that Mr.. Charles Burdette Hart deliber-
ately subverted the truth respecting the
effects of prohibition in Maine. He says
later that he did not authorize that dis
patch, but does not deny one assertion
made in the report. Let the people Of
West Virginia see this gentleman in his
true light. FRANCIS n. LYNCH,

U. S. SENATOR FRYE's ANSWER.

WASHINGTON, May -, 1888.
DEAR SIR:-Your letter of inquiry touch
ing the prohibitOry law in Maine is re-
ceived am very sorry to say that have
not the time toreply at length as you desire.
In my opinion, the law has had an exceed
ingly beneficial effect in theSState and
has commended itself to the people.
Wherever it has been persistently executed
it has been very effectusl in stopping the
sale Of liquor. 1t was early made a pOliti-
cal question, and its strength may be in
ferred from the fact that the Democratic
party has not dared to antagonize it in its
platforms. At convention held in Maine
few days ago by that party, the PROPOSE
ton was made to insert plank in their
platform for high license, but it was de-
feated by large majority. 1t is provided
for now by constitutional amendment
submitted to and adopted by the people
and il is safe to say that they would not
permit its repeal.

NOTIONS OF BRIDES.
The Bit of Blue-Why Hair Is Sown into
the Wedding Gown. j

See pin and pick it up,
Through all the day you'll have good luck,
See pin and let it lay
Bad luck you'll have through all the day.
A nursery superstition, you say, and a
rhyme hardly worthy of the nursery, even.
Truly, so it is. Yet it is also a superstition
that is carried beyond the nurser. Many
a society girl holds to it as firmly as any
child. Wherefore? That is hard to
say. Girls are naturally superstitious,
and a young ladyies boarding-school
is a regular breeding-place for SUI
perstitions Those of childhood are
there added to, and when the young
lady makes her debut in society she
has large assortment. This is no fairy
tale; it is the truth. Who has
not heard of the brides superstition con-
tanned in the following lame rhyme:
Something old and something new,
Something brown and something blue.
AS flight of poesy it is not worthy
much notice, but as a superstition it re-
ceives great deal of attention. Did you
consider it idle talk when you heard it ?
II you did you are sadly mistaken. Dur
ing the last season there were probably
not three society brides, if the term be
allowable, who had the courage to disre-
gard the rhyme. That is why the bride
wears blue garter. Then follow the other
superstitions of the wedding. The ring in
the brides cake every one knows about ;
also the throwing Of the brides bouquet.
The latter is very pretty custom, and is
ever attended by great deal of excite
ment and jollity. The superstition Of the
brides garter, perhaps, is not so well
known to the masculine sex.
1t seems that the superstition that no
marriage can be happy one unless
the bride has one hair of every men,
Der of her family sewn into the lining
of her wedding gown is no longer a mo-
nopoly of the French. a young lady
was married at st. Judes, Kensington, a
few days ago who had general collection
OF hair-even including one from the ia
vorite pet dog-made, and attached as
much Importance to it as to the fifty yards
of material, exclusive of lace, which her
French maid brought from Paris for the
wedding dress.-London Life.

As to Mustaches.

A famous hair professor told me the
other day, says writer in the Pail Nal
Gazette, that he remembered the time when
a military officer would have denounced
lin military language) a civilian if he
sported mustache. We were talking
about the discussion as to the propriety OF
curates wearing those attractive ornaments
to their upper lips-a custom which is Ger.
tainly fashionable, but which my professor
could not trace to its origin. Or, as he put
it, with pleasant sense of humor, he
could not get to the root of the matter
1t is interesting, however, to know that
civilian mustaches came in with the volun,
teer movement. My professor told me that
he receives countless applications for mus
tache mixture from mustachless males, and
| further assured me that it was quite pos
sible to cultivate a mustache up to a GER
! tain point. 1t seems that an electric bat
terry is often used by the bald either fol
| their pates or their upper lips.

when all the ladies dress in their most
elaborate afternoon costumes, and another
call is made on the father of the house to
wish him good afternoon. Then the nu-
merous family, servants and all, sit down
for their evening meal and converse, ac-
companied by an enormous barrel organ.
The fifth and last prayer comes at 1850,
though it may be put off till bedtime by
those who are busy.
Ten o'clock is the usual hour for retir-
ing, and the ladies are attended by their
female slaves, whose duty it is to watch
their mistresses until they fall asleep. All
women go to bed fully dressed and wearing
,, all their jewels.
The ex-princess writes that at meal
times they all sat down on floor before a
table about thfee inches high, with ledge
running around it like billiard-table.
On this great variety of viands were
placed and all kinds of sweets and dam
ties. The various dishes were served on
| small plates symmetrically laid along the
! table, and as everything was placed there
beforehand no service was required. Two
people very often ate from the same dish.
Drinks were not taken with the meals, and
no one said word during their progress.
As fingers are preferred to forks and
knives, the eunuchs hand around basins of
| perfumed water after each meal.

THAT WASN'T II.

Johnny, who has been very much inter-

he would test grandpa's historical knowl-

historical event happened in 1892"

THE "sTEEPLE JACK"
Do you know who "Steeple Jack" is?
That is the name given in England to the
men who make regular business of climb
ing up steeples tall factory chimneys and
other great elevations where there is any
job to be done which ordinary workmen
cannot attempt. For such calling a
man must have a very cool head, and
sometimes he runs great risks. A singular
accident occurred at Slaithwaite, near Hud-
dersfield, in county of Yorkshire, Eng, re-
Gently, which for the time caused good
deal of excitement. A very extensive
cotton mill has been erected for the Slaitls-
waite Spinning Company, and on Satur
day, December 3lst last, the chimney
which reaches to hight of $50 feet, was
so far completed that a Steeple Jack"
from Huddersfield was engaged to fix the
lightning conductor and remove the scat
folding which had been used to complete
the chimney-top, round which there is
very wide parapet. The "Steeple Jack "
successfully removed the scafiolding, and
was about to make preparations for his
descent when the rope by which he was to
descend somehow became detached and
fell to the ground. The man was left on
the chimney-top. Soon large crowd of
persons assembled and they were for
time somewhat puzzled to know how he
was to get down. The "Steeple Jack "
was equal to the occasion, and while the
people were wondering how it was to be
done, he sat busily engaged in unraveling
one of his stockings, and when this work
was completed he let down one end of his
thread and in course of time was provided
with rope sufficiently strong to let him.
