The Prohibitionists, the National Tenn
perance Society, and the Woman's Christ
ian Temperance Union are doing good
work for the discrediting and extirpation
of the vile saloon. But after all said and
done by these mighty and God-blessed or
CARNATIONS, tits the great industries of the
country that make it Improbable for the
tippler to visit the saloon, for when he gets
into the way Of drinking he has got to go.
Important trusts cannot be left i'll the
hands of servants whose brains are stolen
by alcohol, and whose eyes swim in their
heads. Think of putting a train INTO the
hands of a drinking engineer or a tipping
conductor; or a steamer, inland or ocean,
in charge of G captain who is a good judge
of liquor. That thing is played out. The
man who drinks, as things are now going,
will soon find nothing to do but to sweep
the streets, for he cannot be trusted round
the corner. Our great insurance compan-
les know very we'll that a very large per-
centage of their losses come from the use of
liquor. And so it is all along the line, So
Der men alone are wanted, and the drunk
en- are being sent to the left-about as dan
gerous to nave around where large inter-
ests are at stake.

The liquor dealers and their friends in
this State are beginning to see that they
nave a hard road to travel. Nor does the
future present an encouraging outlook,
whether the Legislature repeats or fails to
repeal the Local Option law. The liquor
men have themselves to blame for the con-
dition that now confronts them. The
time was, and not very long ago, when no
man who aspired for. Office could expect a
place on any ticket unless he was accept
able to the liquor interest, and this super
vision Of the nominations extended from
Governor to P~ound-keeper and included
every county in the State. This was borne
for years without any formal protest, but
when forbearanec ceased to be a virtue and
the moral element began to assert itself
the trouble for the liquor men began, and
so energetically have their opponents car
ried on the work that it now appears that
they have aroused a public sentiment quite
powerful enough in itself to defeat the ma
nipulations of the liquor men, and to
show beyond all question that New
Jersey is as decidedly in favor of liquor
restriction as any of the so-called prohibit
tion States. The war thus provoked by
the officiousness OF the liquor dealers in
the matter of party nominations, promises
to continue until the latter are stripped of
their power entirely and the question of
liquor control placed forever beyond their
reach.-W. H. Press.

pARENTs ARE REspoNsIBLE.


The American girl is healthy if meas
ured by the fashionable girl of the civil
lized world-unhealthy as compared with
the child of nature, 1. e., the girl who does
not yield to the follies of fashion. Hence,
she is unhealthy because she violates the
laws of nature, and is below the physical
condition intended by her Creator. I'm
healthy, because she comes of a father
who has shaved at business, without recre-
alton, until his nervous system is shattered
he cannot eat or sleep, and he inherits a
weakened constitution from a father who
did the same. He marries a woman who,
from her girlhood. has worn all her cloth
ing suspended ABOUT her waist, thus crowd
ing a portion of the abdominal contents
down into the pelvis, %crowding them, in
turn, in such a name that pressure is
made upon the rectum, producing consti-
patton, on the bladder and uterus, causing
displacement of both organs; this is fol-
lowed by all the ills incident to such an
unnatural condition. Children of strong
physical powers cannot be born of such
parents, for the same reason that a thor
oughbred colt cannot be procured of par
ents of inferior stock. The American girl
follows in the footsteps of thesmother,
commits the same indiscretions, violates
the same laws of nature-clothing% suspend
ed from the waist, late hours, in low neck
and short sleeves, spent in the vitiated at
mosphere of the ballroom and theatre;
six or eight hours each day, for years,
passed leaning over a low desk in an lily
ventilated school-room; insufficient exer-
else in the open air; all this heaped upon
an inherited debility goes to make up the
unhealthy American girl. What is the
remedy? Let the father avoid the Ameri-
can rush and hurry to get rich in a few
years; devoting a reasonable time to bust
ness, also a reasonable time to the very
important matter of recreation M exer-
else; keep good hours; be moderate in eat
ing, drinking and the use of tobacco. The
girls should not be confined in the school
room at an earlier g than nine years;
the clothing should be supported from the
shoulders, God made them square and
broad for this purpose; the legs should be
we'll clothed. thin stockings are o sufi-
cient; the neck and arms should receive
the same attention; outdoor games should
be a part of their daily education; late
hours avoided; and then the American girl
will be the healthy, beautiful creature that
she was intended by the Creator sheshould
be.-IHeo. A. Worral, II. d.. in The Voice.

a Barre1 of whisky.


A~drayman rolled forth from his cart to the
street
A red-headed barrel, well bound and COM
And on it red letters, ike forked tongues of
flame,
Emblazoned The grade, number, quality,
fame,
OF. this world-renowned whisky from some
body's still.
Who arrested the grain on the way to the
mill.
So there stood the barrel delivered, butt
Could see that n shadow was lowering nigh
A sulphurous shadow, that grew as 1 gazed
To Il. form of Mephfsto. Though sorely
amazed,
l ventured to question this imp of the realm
Where Vice is the pilot, with Crime Mt the
helm,
And asked him politely his mission to name,
And If he was licensed to retail the same
Identical barrel of whisky which he
Was fondly surveying with demonish gleef
"Oh, L never handle the stuff he replied,
"My partners mortal are trusty and tried:
Mayhap, peradventure. you might wish to
look
AT the invoice completed will read from this
book.
You will find that this barrel contains some
thin more
Than forty-two gallons of whisky galore"
And ere l could slip another word in,
He checked it off gaily, this cargo of sin =
ga barrel of headaches, of hcartaches, of woes.
A barrel of curses, a barrel of blows;
A barrel of tears from q world-weary wife;
a barrel of sorrow, q barrel of strife;
A barrel of all-unavailing regret;
A barrel of cares and a barrel OF debt;
a barrel of crime and a barrel of pain;
a barrel of hopes ever blasted and vain:
A barrel OF falsehood, a barrel of cries
That fall from the maniac's lips as he dies.
\ barrel of p~oison-of this nearly full;
a barrel of poverty, ruin, and blight;
A barrel of terrors that grow with the night;
\ barrel of hunger, a barrel of groans;
\ barrel of orphans most pitiful means;
A barrel of serpents that hiss as they pass
From the bead on the liquor that glows in the
glass;
My barrel. my treasure, L bid thee farewell.
Sow ye the foul seed, l will reap it in hell.'

III Health Of American GIRLS.
THE L

II CAUSE
On visiting the Boston public schools,
Lady Amberley remarked of the girls,
sThey all looked sick" Frances Power
Cobbe, representing the average health of
English ladies at 10 out of a possible 100,
asserts that in America it is ''emphatical-
ly'' worse. Mrs. Stowe says: t'The race
of strong. hardy, cheerful girls is
daily lessening; and in their stead come
the fragile, easy-fatigued, languid girls of
a modern age" DIR. Weir Mitchell thinks
American women are probably of all wom-
en- least qualified to bear woman's bur-
dens. Dio Lewis gives it as the expert
ence of physicians that half their practice
comes from displacement of the peloric
viscera-one of the many complaints pc
culiar to women.
Contributing causes Of this result are:
A n%eryously eXhausting climate, no regu-
lar outdoor exercise, the pressure of life,
especially in school, the high crimes of So
ciety life, ill-chosen foods and sweetmeats.
But only one abuse--bad dress-and only
one feature of dress-waist binding-is uni
versal enough to be the cause supreme.
Woman does not reach full development
in northern climates till %. Ninety-nine
of every 100 girls begin wearing corsets
before II. No full, healthy growth, no
true growth at all, is possible with such
restriction.
1. Corsets weaken or annihilate certain
muscles by superseding them. 2. They
displace the lungs, in one known case
crowding one lung into the neck. 3. They
displace every abdominal organ. 4. How
ever loosely worn, they impede the respira-
tion, circulation, and digestion. 3. How
ever loosely worn, in every posture save
standing erect, they are transmitting pres
sure from above to the lower organs-a
cause sufficient universally to produce pro-
lapsus uteri.
"When ought a girl to begin to wear
stayss Never" This opinion of DR..
Chavasse is re-echoed by every man of
note in medical literature.-W m. IT.. Walker.

Mrs. Caroline E. Merrick, President of
the Louisiana w. C. T. u, and of the La
dies Sanitary and Benevolent Association,
has taken an active part in the formation
of the new "Woman's League" of New
Orleans. The Picayune says: "Mrs. Mer-
rick is one of the first of her sex in the
South to believe that the condition of wo-
men would be improved and the welfare Of
the State advanced if they possessed the
right of suffrage. She addressed the Leg
~islature of the State on the subject, and
was instrumental in getting the bill passed
which entities women to serve on the
school boards of Louisiana. During the
war she managed a big plantation in her
husbands absence, established a hospital,
where she nursed and doctored Confederate
and Federal soldiers with equal tender
ness, entertained distinguished guests that
fortunes of wal sent her, and was commits
sary for the neighboring planters, making
a p~erilous trip to New Orleans over an
overlooked country to purchase supplies"

FOLLY OF GRANDPARENTS.

Causes of i'll health: /. Heredity. Our
mothers and grandmothers took pride in
overwork and exposure. A lady not sew
enty years of age told me lately of the in
sufficient underclothing in which, when a
child, she braved the cold and waded the
SHOWS of a New York winter.
"a GIRL" said she, who had warm
flannel would have been ridiculed as old
grannyish.' Flannel was for rheumatic
old women"
To do three days work in one, rising
before day and thus robbing nature of its
sweetest sleep; to suffer physical martyr
dom, warning against a stray fly or speck
of dust, was the acme of womanly thrift.
Their progeny are paying the penalty to-
day in enfeebled constitutions.
ii. Improper dress. Apply this test
Unfasten the highest garment worn by
your girls, require that the lungs be in
iated to their full capacity. Not one girl
in one hundred will be able to ~refasten the
garment without first expelling a portion
of the air from the lungs. Most of our fe-
male ancestors laced tighter than we do.
We impede muscular action by tight
sleeves, heavy tied back skirts, and high
heeled, ill-itting shoes.
III. Improper diet. Too much French
candy and pickles; Toe little beef steak,
milk and oatmeal.
". Nervous excitement and lack OF
exercise. The modern girl is. overworked
mentally-be the subject books, euchre,
dress or beaux-and underworked physi-
cally. She pursues in the high-school a
heterogeneous course of ~"'ologies" which
is confusing and wearying to the brain,

There are sixty persons in the Warren
county Jail at Belvidere. The Sheriff re-
ceives fifty Gently each pei day for their
board, and would like to keep them the
year round, but the bill will be rather
heavy on the taxpayers.
\ great fire attracted attention in Phil
adeiphia on Sunday last. Wyeth's whole
sale drug store and Frank E. Morgan's re-
tail drug store, at 1412 and 1414 Walnut
street, were entirely destroyed. In the
midst of the fire a great explosion took
place in the third story, and one fireman
lost his life and another was carried to the
hospital badly injured. The loss is re-
ported at $500, 900.
On Saturday the filing of applications
for licenses to sell liquor in Philadelphia
for the coming year was completed. There
were 3,212 filed. Last year only 1,347
licenses were granted by the Court.
Therefore nearly 1000 more persons than
those thai we're granted licenses a year ago
stand ready to pay the $500 high license
fee. If the number of saloons in Phila-
delphia is not Increased this year, the fact
will be due not to high license but to the
prohibitory powers that the law gives the
Judges.

The question of repeating the local op-
ton Law is getting to be a serious one in
the Democratic ranks of New Jersey, if we
may judge by some of the expressions of
the Democratic press. Speaking for Nor
ris county, the Dover Iadez says: "We
think the Democratic majority in the State
Legislature will do a very unwise thing
to repeal the local option Law. 1t was pass
ed by a Republican Legislature, and we
do not believe it advisable TO help pull their
chestnuts out of the fire. Let the local OPP
tion law stand as it is, and give the people
an opportunity to vote UP this measure,
and decide it at the ballot box. That is a
Democratic as well as Republican way to
settle it," The Bergen county Democrat
sees similar signs of trouble in the liquor
dealers control of the party in that county,
and lifts up a warning voice as follows:
s'The Democratic majority at Trenton
will find it wise policy 10 be careful how
they tamper with the liquor legislation.
If we read the signs Alright. the people of
the State don't propose to be a tail to the
kite of a dozen or 50 whisky dealers in
Hudson eoantY. Men who keep saloons
are entitled to certain considerations as
business men and property owners, but
if they think the Democratic party is to be
run solely for their benefit, they will find
put that they are mistaken" And the
Matawan Journal too, speaking for Mon
mouth county, uses this language: THE
Democrats will make very poor use of
their success in the last election if they
repeal the local option law at the instiga-
ton of the brewers or saloon keepers.
Local option is home rule on the question
of liquor selling. And home rule is a Dem
ocratic principle. Let the people manage
their local affairs in their own way"
