be the withdrawal OF license, never to DO

~ am in favor Of severe police Sunday
law prohibiting the sale OF liquors on Sun
days, and would have the law rigidly en-
forced The saloon.keepers in Baltimore
say that they sell more liquor on Sundays
than on any other day. This Is a crying
shame and somebody is responsible for
this state OF things. The keeping OF tay.
erns and saloons open on Sundays lead
to many bad consequences. The man who
frequents the saloon is not likely to attend
church, nor is he in condition to wor-
ship. Drunkenness, while always sim
full, is an aggravated crime when
committed on Sunday. 1t is scan
dalous, and leads to the violation Of
other laws. More crime can be traced to
intemperance than TO any other source. 1t
is useless to make the most stringent laws
for the observance OF Sunday and the
prevention OF tie sale Of liquors on that
day unless the police are brought to en-
force the laws. The indifference shown
the Sunday laws and the neglect to en-
force them bring those laws into contempt.
Either enforce Sunday laws or take the
LIQUOR licenses away"

From the Journal OF the Society OF Arts.
When the Acclimatization Societies OF
Australasia introduced the rabbit some
years ago, they thought they were ac-
complishing a good work, and little an
ticipatej what serious injury these rab-
bits would effect in less than ten years,
and that their determination would be u
costly and impossible work. Rabbits have
so increased now in Australia and New
Zealand that the colonists are at their
wits ends how TO repair the evil.
The extent OF the injury done 10
the pasturage required for sheep
may be inferred in some measure from the
enormous number OF rabbit skins export
ed, which. however, prove blessing TO
the cheap furriers OF Europe and America.
A local industry has also sprung up in the
colonies in making soft lelt hats from
their iur. Coney wool was encouraged and
valued in England $50 years ago, and is
now worth Is pound. The damage done
to the crops In the Australian colonies by
the little animals that furnish tho skins
Tor export has become OF such magnitude
rs 10 furnish the subject OF Parliament
airy legislation there. From tho single
colony Of New Zealand there has been
exported about 40 900, 900 skins. valued at
nearly E750,0O0. But the property de-
stoyed by these rodents is estimated by
millions, and this industry OF rabbit skins
is one which the people there do not wish
TO see prosper. In Victoria the colony Is
asserted to have sustained a loss OF about
$4,000, 600. The cheap Innings Of coats and
ladies' cloaks, and many OF the dyed arti-
clcs Of fur. are due TO rabbit skins, home
and foreign. In the last ten years 20,
100000 rabbit skins have been
exported from Victoria In add.
ton TO the vast exports from
the colonies many have been used locally
by hat manufacturers aud others, aud large
numbers have doubtlessly been destroyed
or allowed to decay. The extensive supply
from Australasia has flooded the English
market, and the trade has on hand sup.
ply sufficient TO last for year or two. The
English rabbit breeders also found IL 10
their advantage TO kill rabbits mainly ior
their skins, aud the supply OF the home
skins is said TO reach $1,000, 900 annually.
Belgium, which supplies rs with the tame
brod rabbits so largely appreciated and
imported for food, sends away over 5000
900 rabbit skins, but then these skins
are much larger, Of n finer color, and better
fitted for iurs than those OF the wild rab-
bit. In some OF the Australian colonies
attempts were uiadc 20 preserve their flesh
