In speaking of the recent decision
of the federal supreme court, in the
Iowa case, the Chicago Herald says:
"This decision is only another
proof that the prohibition movement,
instead of being out of place in ma
tional politics, can never be effective
without federal cooperation. Ever
since the war the general government
has been the real saloonkeepcr. 1t
has been the great dispenser of liquor
licenses, and has continued TO issue
them eve in states that have enacted
prohibition laws. The federal courts
in these states have held that these
licenses cannot be offered in state
courts in proof that the licenses are
selling liquor. The government has
even opened beer saloons of its own
at several of the soldiers homes.
Now, the supreme court decides that
any state has a right to ship liquor
into q prohibition state without mo
lestation or seizure. Evidently no
state can hope to execute prohibitory
law until all the states and the gen.
eral government unite in the move

Origin of the Hnrleuuin.

John Rich, the son of Christopher Rich,
the manager Of the theatre in Lincoln's
Inn Fields, London, was n very illiterate
man, with strong dramatic instincts.
From his inability to speak upon the
stage he originated the silent harlequin,
and by mere dumb action could rival the
power and pathos of the most accom-
plished tragedian.
Previous to this, and, indeed, for some
time afterward, harlequin was Il speak
ing part, and David Garrick played him
as such in the theatre at Goodman Fields.
It was In the year 1717 that Rich APP
peared in q pantomine called "EarleGuin
Executed"
Jackson, in speaking of Rich's wonder
full abilities us a pantomimist, says: son
his last revival of The Sorcerer' l saw
him practice the Matching of harlequin
by the heat Of the sun, in order to point
it out to Miles, who, though excellent
in the line of dumb significance, found
it no easy matter to retain the lesson
Rich had taught him. This certainly
was u masterpiece in dumb show. From
the first chipping of the egg, his receiv-
ing of motion, his feeling of the ground,
his standing upright to his quick harlc-
quin trip round the empty shell, throu:s..
the whole progression, every limb had
its tongue and every motion a VOICE,
which spoke with most miraculous organ
to tho understanding and sensation Of
the Observers"
The tight fitting spangledd dresses which
arc now worn by all %harlequins were not
adopted until the present century.-scot-

Bee. Sting . Team to Death.

While William Harris and his son
James were at the McKim farm, Steuben-
vile. on the West Virginia side Of the
river, two horses, hitched at the side of
the barn, slipped their brides and start
ed to run away. Harris, seeing the rum
away. tried to head the horses, causing
them to turn and go through a fence in
to II yard where there were thirty bee
hives. Three hives were knocked over
by the horses.
Thousands of bees swarmed over the
horses, which lay down in the harness
moaning %piteously. AS young Harris
could not SEQ tho horses suffer he cut
the traces with a butcher knife, while
the bees attacked him. He started the
horses off. When loose from the cattle
crate tho horses ran in all directions in
tho fields, uttering unnatural squeals, at
times rolling in the grass, moaning ter
nbly.
One horse lay down in q creek, where
it rolled and shrieked till death ended
its s%ufferings. The other horse was
caught and hay burned under 1t, but the
horse died in u short time. Both were
fine animals. Young Harris was stung
badly, but he was bathed in a tub of
soda water, counteracting the poison

English Walnut.

There is no nut bearing tree which is
capable of being made moro profitable
than the English walnut. The nut is
always in large and profitable demand,
and the tree is an unusually prolific
bearer. 1t is hardy and is readily grown.
but seldom does at all well in far north
ern ATTITUDES. In the vicinity Of Phila-
delphia we have seen n tree of this vari-
ETY. that produced annually about forty
or fifty bushels of fine, marketable nuts.
In Virginia and states In similar latitude
it should be made to pay handsomely.
Its widespread habits of growth make
it necessary to give it plenty Of room.
and we should say that forty feet each
way, rather than less, should be accord
ed, the intervening space being utilized
with ash trees. The wood could no
doubt be used in many ways, and the
reason it has not been is from the fact
that there has never been enough Of it to
enter into any of the calculations of
those who use valuable woods in manu-
facture. Its greatest value as a tree
consists in its nuts, which are second
only to almonds in commercial value. \
we'll set grove of these trees would be a
handsome ight.-Philadelphia Ledger.

A Change in tho Manner of marketing.

A Change in tho Manner of Marketing.
If any II is DESTROYS of seeing the
only eNtant specimen of old fashioned
marketing it can DO witnessed in and
about Washington market on Saturday
morning. In a former generation the
head of the household rose at daylight,
and grasping a hugo basket betook him
self to Washington, Clinton OF jefferson
market to ecure the choice cut Of beef
and the freshest vegetables and berries.
The leonine head and massive figure of
Gen. Scott could DO seen nearly every
morning at jefferson market, and every
burly butcher and red checked market
woman looked for his greeting as u mat
ter of course.
At Clinton market the heads of the
Lord, Lydig, Griffin, Aymar and other
families Of social note did not disdain to
put i'll a personal appearance, and amid
the jokes and laughter that the wit of
the society man and tho ready repartee
of the market woman provoked the work
of filing the basket was a pleasant one.
Times change, and the grandsons of the
men who carried their OWL baskets to
market are waited upon by the butcher
and green grocer at sheir houses, but
some Of the gray haired sons of those
venerable men still go down TO market
on Saturdays, and they naturally have
enough imitators to mako this personal
visitation a feature, on Saturdays espe-
cially. This set are careful purchasers
and only buy after examination and
study. They know what is good and
where to get it, and evidently it pays
them to carry their WI baskets.-New

a Il Ananfas.

One of the hands on board the steamer
P~enobscot, of the Bangor line, has
gained a wide reputation as a story
teller. 1t was recently that this famous
%raconteur favored u select audience with
this Renaissance of his early days: "It
was a beautiful afternoon in July" said
he, "the sun was pouring down through
tho hay fields, and as we toiled with
scythe and rake we felt tired and weary.
Coming suddenly upon a patch Of
Strawberries, we sat down and Toasted
upon the luscious fruit, the single ber-
ries being as large round as your fist.
While We sat enjoying this delicious re-
past we suddenly saw a bear come out
of tho woods on the other side Of the
meadow and make for us. You can bet
We ran for our lives. Ibeing the latest
fellow could not keep up with the rest,
and more than once the nose of the bear
grazed my legs as l flew along. Reach
ing the river, about two miles from the
field, we rushed out upon the ice. It was
so slippery that the bear could not keep
up with us, and we made our escape"
One of the fellows hearers in~nocently
remarked that lie would have believed
the story elf the critter hadn't lied so
about the size of the strawberries."-

Two Words.

People who wish to send homo tele-
grams from abroad commonly arrange a
system of cipher in order to make the
expense as small as possible. A story is
told of one man, however, whose ingenu-
ity supplied the lack of any prearranged
cipher.
A western man who owned a great
farm in Dakota was obliged to cross the
water for business purposes. For three
months he heard nothing from the mar
whom he had left in charge of the farm,
and at last he became somewhat dis
turbed. He was all illiterate person,
though a capital farmer, and the writing
of a telegram was a matter of some diff
Guilty. At last he sent off the following
comprehensive message:
"Is things all right at the farm?"
I1npatiently he awaited the answer.
1t would be expensive, he felt sure,
whether it brought good or bad news.

A True Philauthropist.

Aphilanthropic lady, Mrs. Magnusson,
is about to sell her family heirlooms for
the purpose of opening q high school for
girls in Ireland. Some Of these articles
are 700 years old, and the unique collec-
ton comprises belts, clasps, bracelets,
brooches, old wood earrings and spoons.
This lady has, by the help of some friends
in England, succeeded in erecting a
building on a piece Of ground which be-
longed to her, and it Is for the purpose
Of furnishing the interior, Of supplying
books, and paying teachers that the lady
has determined to part with her cher
ished heirloom. The great test of IL
woman's devotion to- any purpose seems
to have been, from Queen Isabella down,
the sale Of her jewels to forward its in
%terests, and it is an inlisputable fact
that comparatively few ONE can
duro this test of her loyalty.-New York

creelx,s Tc1egraph Line,

There is a good story told on Gen.
Greedy, the chief Of the signal service.
A number Of years ago "Old Probabili-
ities," thena lieutenant in the Fifth cav
airy, was stationed in Texas. While
there he was ordered to build 100 miles
of telegraph line. Greedy decided to pur-
chase a new kind Of insulator, a sort of
sheet iron, cone shaped affair. The line
was completed, and for a couple of
weeks everything worked we'll and the
lieutenant vas congratulating himself
on the success of his work. All at once
the line would not work at all. A couple
Of line repairers started out to find the
cause. The first polo they tackled was
their last, for a swarm of hornets
emerged from that insulator prepared to
resist all corners. AS the swarm settled
about the two men they ran, and as they
ran tho swarm increased and followed
them nearly into the fort. The line was
rebuilt, but the ordinary glass insulators
were used. To this day those linemen
have never forgiven the
City Times.

people amid whom he sat in the presi-
Dental grand stand at the Grand Army

terms with him knows that he is as
proud of his little state as though it was
as big as Texas, and the chatting to
which he vas subjected while the

past was not calculated to make him
particularly comfortable.

About Thunder Clouds.

Among the earliest symptoms of the
approach of q thunder storm is the ap-
pearance on the western horizon Of a
line Of cumulus ("wool pack") clouds,
exhibiting a peculiar turreted structure.
| say on the western horizon, for most
of our changes of weather come from
that quarter, and it has been proved that
thunder storms, like wind storms. adj
vance over the country generally from
some westerly point. This bank of clouds
moves on, and over 1t appear first stream
ers and then sheets Of lighter upper
clouds %(cirrus, or mares tail') which
spread over the sky with extreme rapid
ity. The heavy cloud mass comes up
under this film, and it is a general OBJ
s%ervation that no electric explosion or
downfall of rain ever takes place from a
cloud unless streamers of cirrus emanat-
ing from its upper surface are visible
when the cloud is looked at sideways
froma distance.-New Orleans Picayune.

The Opal.

While most gems owl their tint to the
presence of some foreign coloring mat
ter the many hued and beautiful opal
differs. 1t is Opaque, deriving its beauty
from the marvellous property it pos
sesses of decomposing the rays of light,
and thus rejecting from its polished
surface all the colors of the rainbow. 1t
needs, therefore, no brilliant, but ap-
pears to the best advantage when alone.
1t is at present among the most priced
of gems, and has held its place for ages.
Mark Antony once offered e17O, 900 for
an opal the size Of a hazelnut, but the
owner, Nonius, a Roman senator, pre-
ferred exile to parting with his treasure.
In spite Of their value opals are unsafe
investments, for time and exposure dim
their %luster, while their sensitiveness to
heat is so great that the warmth of the
hand has been known to crack them.
The finest stones come from Hungary,
and among the Austrian crown jewels
are gems Of greater size and beauty than
that which temptedt the Roman emperor.
