A Georgia gentleman who has tried 1t
vouches for this story: Taking q gallon
Jug OF whisky he passed a string through
Its cork, which string dropped TO the
bottom OF the jug. The Irvine was then
introduced into q watermelon vine by
Sitting the vine and the vine was per-
mitted to produce only two melons.
When the melons were matured they
were served at a private barbecue TO six
gentlemen. The effect was astonishing.
The gallon Of whisky got in its work,
Not q drop OF the liquor remained in the
Jug when the melons were ripe.

VOTING IN BOSTON.
How the Women Take to the New
System.

lOOoJUu 0AOuC'l
"rhe Australian system worked like a
| charm" seems to be the almost universal
opinion among those whose duties or whose
interest In the matter enabled them to form
an intelligent opinion.
1t was the second trial of the system, and.
according to all testimony, worked as quietly
and expeditously as before.
1t was the first occasion upon which wom-
en- have investigated its mysteries, but they
seem to have taken as naturally to it as a
dnck does to water. save in one instance,
where woman undertook tn carry baby
behind the rail with her, but was obliged to
leave her precious burden with one of the
precinct officers while marking her ballot.
owing to clause in the law which saws
there shall be no witness to the marking of
the ealtot
The system which banishes the ward heel
er also served to prohibit missionary work
of the women in favor Of certain school com
mlttee candidates, but IN some instances the
fair and persistent missionaries, by seating
themselves In the polling booths where vot-
ers could see them, endeav0red to get in
their work for the women's candidate In that
way
As the women had full swing to exercise
thelr influence at the polls year ago it Is
natural that the change should nave some
mittee for the a KIT year.
One notable correction in the observance
OF the law over its operation of month ago
was practically strict enforcement of the
provision against the admission of voters be-
hind the rail before they have given their
names and received their ballots. This pro-
vision was not observed to the letter at the
first trial of the law, and resulted, OCCASION
ally, in some confusion.
In a few instances little trouble occurred
owing to an inclination on the part of voters
especially women, to talk and compare their
ballots, even after being warned by precinct
officers not to do so, but doubtless this OBJ
more familiar with the requirements of the
law.
In fact, there seems to have been but two
| objections made to the system; first, that it
| Is extremely mon0tonous and uninteresting
| for the precinct officers; and second, that
| the inventive small boy is prone to utilize
| the roofs of the polling booths as toboggan
slides, greatly to the detriment of shingles
and trousers.
City Clerk Curtis said to Globe reporter
last evening:
"The working of the Australian system
today seems to have been quite as satisfacto-
ry as at its first trial. Quietness reigned
everywhere, and business seemed to be the
order OF the day at all the voting places In
few OF the warde the ballot-boxes failed to
work properly this morning, and were re-
placed by reserve boxes which we're immedi-
ately sent out. Whether the difficulty was
due TO defects in the boxes, or to the failure
on the part of the precint officers to compre-
bend their workings, | have not yet been
been furnished there was no further trouble
reported. see no reason to doubt the per-
feet success of the Australian system, and
am OF the opinion that 1t has come to stay"

Though Boston voted for license the oppc-
sition was remarkably large, considering the
character of large per cent. of the popula-
tion. Still more remarkable was the strength
of the no license vote In Lowell, constituting
as 1t did a majority. The votes of these two
cities seem to show how small per cent of
the people who believe in prohibition
vote the Third party ticket. The no license
vote in Boston exceeded the total Third party
vote in the whole state at the recent general
alaofian

III all the sons and daughters who have left
Maine to make homes in the West had gone
at one time and In body 1t would have been
one Of the most remarkable migrations in
history. One by one they have been taking
leave and departing for the last thirty years
so quietly that little note has been taken of
the departure, except in the farmhouses that
have been made lonelier by their going.
Fathers and mothers have hidden adieu to
sons and daughters; the State has hidden
adieu to the materials of commonwealth.
The next census will show probably the ex-
act extent Of our loss; but an occasional fact
crops out that gives pretty good idea of the
magnitude OF the migration. One Of these
suggestive facts is afforded by the Machias
Republican this week. Machias is town of
1000 or 200 population. not large town by
any means. Yet the Republican publishes a
list Of one hundred and twenty-five OF its
former citizens who are now residents of the
single city Of Minneapolis. Almost quar-
ter OF these are the names of men with fami-
lies. 1t Is fair to presume that the wives of
q large proportion of these men with fami-
lies were also from Machias, or at least from
Maine, and deserve to be added to the list of
the one hundred and twenty-five When
small Maine town makes such contribution
to the population of Minneapolis it is not
difficult to see where the population
OF Maine has gone. Every Western
city OF size has Its Maine colony,
sometimes numerous enough to form So
ciety Of the sons and daughters of Maine
Chicago has large and influential society
OF this sort. including in it, membership
some OF the most influential citizens of the
city. Meanwhile the old State continues to
send out new colonies every year; and the
stream OF emigration shows few signs that 1t
Is diminishing.
