from Lake Erie to the Bay Of Fun
dy. Every city and town IN Can
ada which voted that day, repealed
prohibition
In Iowa in 1880, there were
1904 government licenses issued
for the sale of liquor. In 1856,
under prohibition, the number had
increased to 4,032-an increase Of
800.
For the year ending April 80,
1881, before prohibition, 1854
government licenses to sell liquor
were issued in Kansas. In the
year ending April 80, 1887, after
gve years of prohibition, 1897 Ii
censes were issued; in other words
there were 5S per cent. more pla-
ces selling liquor in the year end
ing April 80, 1887, under prohibi-
ton, than in the year ending April
80, 1881, before the enactment Of
the law. There had simply been
a change of name from ''saloon'
to ''drug store"
Maine has more liquor stores in
proportion to population than ma
ny license states. Rhode Island
has one liquor seller to every 243
men. (See Internal Revenue Re-
ports.)
In Pennsylvania the question of

ment in the constitution was sub

One of the religious papers,
commenting on the Conemaugh
disaster, remarks that whether
there shall be earthquakes and
other such dire disasters is simply
a question whether God shall rule
the world by natural law. This
allaws for nature and natural
things and "a ..Deltv who has no
will of his own but to run the
world in a fixed groove. 1t is a
slightly worse solution of the pro-
blem of evil than the agnostics
offer. On the whole, those who
'sapologize" for god made bad job
of it. The best way is to mend
our dams, and then never mind
about damnation. The whole duty
that we have ON our shoulders is
to live according to natures laws
and avoid temptations of both a
physical and psychical or ethicol
sort.-St; Louis Globe-Democrat.

THE OLD STORY.

Albany, Or, July IA fatal
shooting accident occurred three
miles north of this city this morn
ing, at the residence of William
Collins. Miss Kate Fennell of this
city, aged .16, was visiting Mrs.
Collins. About 10 o'clock this
morning Miss FhnDell saw a rifle
leaning in a corner of bedroom.
Picking it up, she asked Mrs. Col
Inns if it would do any harm to
snap the hammer. The latter
thoughtlessly replied, "No," when
the girl drew back the hammer
ana pulled the trigger. The gun,
which no one knew was loaded,
was discharged, the ball entering
Mrs. Collins's left breast, penetrat-
ing the heart and coming out at
her back, killing Her instantly,
Deceased was aged 35, and leaves

resides at Gervais, Marion county,
where the remains will be inferred
tomorrow.
Both families are grief stricken
at the shocking occurrence, and
the girl who heedlessly fired the
| fatal shot is prostrated with re-
morse.

1855, but the people repudiated
it at the polls in the same year.
New York passed the law in
1854, tried it two years, and gave
it up as bad job
Massachusetts tried prohibition
for fifteen years, and finally re-
pealed it as vain and injurious.
An effort to restore prohibition
in Massachusetts was voted down
by an overwhelming majority,
April %, 1889.
Atlanta tried the law for one
year and repudiated it by all over
whelming majority, in November,
1887.
Connecticut enacted the law in
| 1854, tried in vain to enforce it
for eighteen years, and then finally
repealed it forever in 1872.
Ohio enacted prohibition IN
1855, and otter a few months OF
bitter experience repealed it.
Maryland passed prohibitory
law in 1855. The results were so
disastrous, both to- material and
moral welfare, that after a few
months trial it was repealed, and
the lesson was so severe that the
question has never been raised
again in that state.
New Hampshire tried prohlbl-
ton for thirty=four years. April

She enacted it last year, and ha

Michigan passed the law in 1S5;

Some remarks in the editorial col.
umns of The London Electrician have
called forth a letter from Professor
Lodge on the subject of the dissipation
of the London fogs by means Of elec.
trio discharges. At the Montreal
meeting Of the British association, in
1884, Professor Lodge described some
experiments in which he condensed
smoke by means of a brush discharge
from points connected with q static
electric machine. The subject was an
interesting one and attracted consider.
able attention at the time; but it seems
that no experiments Oh a large scale
have since been attempted.
A number OF possible applications
have been suggested-for example, il
has been proposed TO use an electric
discharge to dissipate the dust particles
in -four and other mills, which have
been the cause OF several. disastrous
explosions, but the efficacy of the plan
has not been tried. In the letter re.
ferred TO. Professor Lodge states that
he has been deferred from experiment.
ing chiefly on account Of the grea,
initial expense necessary for a trial on
a large scale-an expense which he
estimates to be in the neighborhood OF
IS, 900. As to the form Of experiment,
he is not sure that a battery of an
enormous number of cells would not
be the most likely plan.
So far, the largest experiment That
Professor Lodge has made has been
the clearing of q smoke filled room,
but the results were so encouraging
that he does not despair of ~condensing
the fog in a stagnant atmosphere. The
matter is q most interesting one. We
have an entirely new field for electri.
cal application, with a very substantial
promise Of reward for success. There
are a number of possible applications
OF the process-the clearing Of smoke
from tunnels, the dissipation of dust
particles in mills, and the general
abatement Of the smoke nuisance that
is so unpleasant in manufacturing
towns. Science.

~whereupon the boy said he would

where he remained until fourteen

house was afterward painted all over

designs. While John, the peculiar,

Robert Burton.

One Of the most interesting remains
OF English literature in the Seven
tsenth century is the Anatomy of
Melancholy, written by Robert Bur
ton, who was inferred in Christ
Church cathedral, Oxford, on the 9th
Of January, 1859. This book was his
sole production, and it passed through
eight editions up to 1876, after which
it fell into neglect. In the next cen
tnry it was brought into notice by DIR.
Samuel Johnson's remark that it was
the only book that took him out OF bed
two hours sooner than he wished to
rise. Sterne was largely indebted to
Burton, and many other authors have
been poachers on the same preserve.
The latest edition of Burton's work
was published in 1S49 in an Svo, with
notes in which the quotations were
translated, explained and referred to
the respective authors from whom
they were derived. Burton was a
mathematician and q curious calcula-
tor of nativities. He died at very near
the time which he had some years be-
fore foretold from the calculation of
his own nativity, and which being
exact, several Of the university stu
dents whispered among themselves
that, rather than that there should be
u mistake in the calculation, he sent
up his soul to heaven through a slip
about his neck.-Philadelphia Times.
