selected by the Governor, he would, for
his own credit as well as the credit of his
State, select good worthy men for such
positions; and such commissioners should
be selected In each locality from men OF
both political parties, so that their ap-
pointment could not be considered, one
made for political purposes Of any parti-
cular party.
Now, am fully convinced that the
passage Of such law, as to license fees,
penalties, distribution of fees and ilnes,
and appointment of commissioners as
above suggested, would meet with the
general appreciation of the cltiz.n ms OF
this State, and prevent the sale of
liquors by unlicensed persons and
place the sale Of liquors in the
hands of Iersons who will not seek
to violate the law and besides, produce a
considerable amount of revenue to the
State, county, municipalities, and hun
dreds In which said places are licensed,
and sincerely trust that bill of this
character may be formulated without
delay, and be passed at the present ses-
sion Of the Legislature, as legislation is
very much needed on this subject In this
State. Our present liquor license law is
very unsatisfactory to all classes of our
citizens and terrible nuisance to the
Court, who now are compelled TO act as
dispensers OF licenses OF this kind under
our present law. 1t is no part OF their
judicial duties (properly speaking) and
they would gladly be relieved FROM this
very disagreeakle and unpleasant duty II
imposes upon them.
Very respectfully submitted,

"This was sometime a paradox" as
Hamlet says. Since, however the people
of America and other lands have been
enabled TO pit Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters against that unseen foe, malaria, 1t
is no longer a paradox, but an easy pos
sibility. Wherever malaria evolves Its
misty venom to poison the air, and de-
caying unwholesome vegetation impreg-
mates the water, there, IN the very strong
hold of miasma, is the auxiliary petent
to disarm the foe aud assure efficient
protection. Fever and ague, bilious re-
mittent, dumb ague and ague cake, no
matter how tesaciously they have fas-
tened their clutch on the system, are first
forced to relax their grasp and eventually
to abandon 1t altogether. But It is its
preventive force that should chiefly

not know that the first clock that in
any way resembled those now in use
was made by Henry Wick, in 1870.
He made it for Charles V. of France,
who has been called The WISE
Nov, Charles was wise in good
many ways. He was wise enough to
recover from England most of the
land which Edward III. had conquer
ed, and he did good many other
things which benefited France But
his early education had been some
what neglected, and he probably would
have had trouble in passing civil
service examination in these enlight-
ed ages. Still he had a reputation for
wisdom, and thought that it was nee
essary, in order to keep it up, that he
should also be supposed to possess
book learning. TheIatter was sub

Utility OF Hobbies.

Said gentleman who had seen
much Of human life and was himself
an enthusiastic student at threescore
years: mo man in this world can be
happy without a hobby"
With this as text, another scholar
ly and amiable hobby-rider said, as an
introduction to lecture upon his ia
vorite study: Indeed, for diverting
your minds from the little crosses
which we all have to bear, there is no
earthly solace so healing as subject
in which we are intensely interested
something to which the thoughts may
at any moment recur when weary of
he suggestions we would escape.
"When, in addition to being an in
nocent diversion, ours is useful study,
we and our fellow-mortals are alike
gamers. The person who passes
through life without being an enthu-
siastic student of something loses
something more than he can appreci-
ate.
III Emphasize the something, because
nothing but natural selection can de-
eide what ought to be each PERSONS
field of work. Nature is generous;
the field is the world. With one it
may be rocks or ferns, with another
MOSES or oaks or leaving untamed
nature for applied science, it may be
the steam engine or the telescope, the
field of language or the human form.
No person has a right to say: my
study is important, and yours is use
less,' Each mans hobby is really for
him the most valuable addition he can
make to his own happiness and the
most precious contribution on his part
to the sum total of human felicity and
general knowledge"
