such spectacle! 1t takes good deal to

Horse Blankets whicha are strong
and have a reputation are always
initiated in poor qualities which
look like them, but having fewer
warp threads are not as strong.
Some dealers buy these poor
limitations for a few cents less and
by saying thcyare "just as good"
sell them at the same price as the
strong blankets to parties who do
not know the difference.
You cannot tell whether horse
blankets are strong by the look
or feel, as the warp threads do
not show on the face. How then
are you to know?
Inorder that you cantella strong
blanket from a weak one, the man,
facturer of "a Horse Blankets
sews the above "a Trade Mark
inside of each blanket. This is a
guarantee that it is the strongest
blanket made for the money and
will wear well.
Many poor limitations have been
sold as "a blankets. Remember
none are genuine unless the
81 Trade Mark is sewed inside.

IT is said that reaction has set in against winter sports in Montreal, and that the clubs are beginning to realize that the carnival Is in fact fast developing into a money grabbing business, and that the legitimate object of those who organized the first carnival, viz, an annual reunion of tEe lovers of winter pastimes with games and sports, is rapidly being lost sight of.

TIPS ON TOBACCO.

THE Thracians imbibed smoke by en- ploylng the aromatic seeds of certain plants for the utilization of their nostrlls.
 HERoDoTUs says that the Babylonians used to cast bundles of herbs into the fire, and then stand around the flames and in- hale their fragrance.
 JEAN NIcoT, from whom the essential oil of tobacco was named, introduced the herb to Catherine de Medicis, while Sir Walter Raleigh presented it to Queen Elizabeth.
 THAT smoking is injurious to health in adults is often urged It probably very often is, and so is tea and coffee drinking, carried to excess However, most of the centenarians arc smokers.
 TOBACCO should be credited as part of the discovery of Christopher Columbus When he first met the Indians they "were imbibing the fumes of tobacco in the shape of cigar" This cigar was not wholly of tobacco, though. twas a stalk or straw tube filled with this weed. But the Indians smoked pipes chiefly.

NO PROHIBITION YET.

Connecticut is not yet ready for pro- hibition. That was pretty clearly shown yesterday when the proposition to sub- people was voted down. Had the people been given chance to vote on the ques- tion We believe the result would have been still more decisive against the kind of temperance the prohibitionists seek to propagate.
 The democratic party ill the house was very largely against the proposition, which is renewed evidence that the party is against state interference with personal rights. It is proof, too, that the democratic party is a more intelli- gent friend of real temperance than the men who would foist on the common wealth a bogus temperance that has been a rank failure in Rhode Island, in Maine, in Kansas or wherever prohibition has been tried. Senator Platt said, in an address delivered at Woodstock last Fourth of July, that prohibition could never be successful until the majority of voters were themselves total abstain CTS. Nobody will be reckless enough to seriously maintain that the ma iority of voters in Connecticut, or even the ma jority of voters in any party in Connec- ticut unless possibly it may be the pro- hibitionists, are total abstainers. It is quite evident, then, that these voters would not consent, if the matter were submitted to them, to accept an amend ment that would abridge their personal rights to the extent of prohibiting them from having little wire for their stomach's sake" when they felt disposed to have it. And though we would not have been averse to having the question submitted to popular vote, because there would then be no reason for the pro- hibitionists to grumble, we believe the democrats in refusing to allow it gave the prohibition cranks and republicans of the legislature a taste of their own medicine. The prohibitionists have not hesitated to stoop to trickery and deceit ill sneaking through certain pet meas ures of their own, and the republicans of Connecticut have been so shameless in overriding all popular rights that not one of them with any sense of decency can find fault with vester days action. As for the people of the state, we believe the great majority of them are against pro hibitiou, and they will be perfectly con- tent that they are not to nave a chance to declare themselves on the subject. l Those who see the most friends of temperance in the republican, party as 2 result of yesterdays vote make the 'blun- der mistaking fanaticism for temperance. True temperance will not be secured by prohibition, neither vii! the visionary vaga,ias ot the prohibitionists ever be popuia. with the majority ot 4 meric,n citizens. The st intelligence ot the country sees in moral quic.lening and tue development Of seif-respec+ the tru solution of ;he temperance problem. And or ti,e,e lines tle tepnpa1s, '9: l.'aye-
