TOO MANY ENGL7sHMEN,

What can England do with her surplus population1 A committee of the British house of commons has for some time been considering the matter of finding homes for the people of the country who desire to emi- grate. It is we'll known that all the great cities of England contain many people who find 1t difficult to earn living and who de- sire to obtain homes in some part of the world where every occupation is not crowd ed. Reports were presented showing that this country and the older colonies of Aus- tralia no longer wish to receive any more mechanics or common laborers. Western Australia and the western provinces of Cana de are the only portions of the world, where the English language is spoken and where the common law prevails, that are desiroui of having their population increased by i'm migration. But these places are very fal away from England aud do not offer much that is promising.
 It was shown to the committee that the other great British dependencies, India and South Africa, were not suitable places fo, the poor in England to move to. Native labor is abundant and very cheap. Men oi means can acquire fortune there, but the poor will be likely to remain poor. Half of South America and large part of Siberia are nominally open to settlers. But no one is anxious to become subject of the Czar, even if he receives grant of land. Every country in South America is open to objec- tion. The climate differs greatly from that of England and the people speak another language.
 England already owns or rules much of the desirable part of the worlds area. Per. haps she may solve the problem which the committee is considering by "annexing' some more territory.

Lake Drummond. Three railroads also cut across its northern limits on their way to a deep sea terminus in Norfolk harbor. In ad- dition to these we have the "Jerieho canal" and "Washingtons ditch"
 In this connection may mention the fact that George Washington, with his own real little hatchet, surveyed in this swamp, and knew it better in his day than any man has since. He surveyed and located the Dismal swamp canal. which was 40 years in build- ing-the entire work being done with spade and Whaelbarrow. It is undoubtedly the oldest canal, with one exeption, ,ir the United States. In surveJing it there was found section of several miles in length where the ground was literally filled with sunksn tins Der in a perfect state of preservation. The process of removing this timber was SO slow and expensive with the simple machinery of those days, that the canal was banked up, 50 to speak, and runs above the level of the surrounding country. The soil on the mar gin of the swamp is very rich indeed. Some of the finest crops of corn and grass I ever saw were grown on such soil. Bears are still to be found there, and steal the farmers' pigs and calves and eat his corn within 15 miles of Norfolk, just as they did 100 years ago. The deer and fox also are found here both iu summer and during greater part of the winter. In excavating in the swamp, workmen, after passing through several feet of dark, rich. soil of peaty nature, strike something that somewhat resembles blue clay, but which is undoubtedly species ot mari.
 This shows conclusively that at one day old ocean rolled over the area now covered by the swamp. When the cheap govern ment lands of the west shall have been all taken up, it may be that the Great Dismal swamp may be drained and brought under cultivation, in which case we think we are safe in saying that it would be the richest and most productive body of land in the world. It lies squarely in the teeth of the best markets in the United States.

Taken as 1t Should be, 1t Doesnss Mean
 Headaches.
From the Chicago Tribune

From the Chicago Tribune.l
 Dry wine is the only healthful wine, from the fact of it's containing no sugar and little alcohol. The grape is used when there is only about 22 per cent. of saccharine. Af- ter fermentation there remains 10 or Il per cent. alcohol, and TO sugar. The grapes for sweet wine are allowed to become very ripe, and used when there Is from 80 to 40 per cent. sugar. It is fermented into about 15 per cent. alcohol, and then brandy is added to prevent further fermentation in the bot ties. In drinking it the heat of the stomach causes fermentation; result headache, gout, and possibly an uncomfortable appetite for strong drink.
 The temperature of wine is a most import ant feature. Wine is like delicate flower and should be treated as carefully; other- wise. as lilly touched by frost,i will droop and it's full life and beauty never return. Champagne should be chilled but once, and then only fifteen or twenty minutes before 1t is used.
 Claret should be gradually warmed and drank at a temperature of 70 or 75 degrees, | and never drank at all excepting with meats. It is common thing to see ladies add ice and sugar to claret. They might as well add sugar to vinegar, or resort to their usual relish-pickles-for claret, with ice added, becomes nothing more or less than vinegar.
 The old custom observing many wines at banquets has sensibly been doae away with. l Now one sees only Sauterne with the oysters. sherry or Madeira with the soup. Burgundy or claret with the meats and entrees, these i grosser wines preparing the palate for the most delicate of all wines champagne. 1 One of the cruel things said about Chicago ans is that they never can be good judges of wine, because the delicacy of their olfactory senses is destroyed by an unavoidable cover. ing of coal dust, and that the pleasing odo. ., | quality. If after enjoying the delicate

IN THE WAY OF FREE RUM

IN THE WAX OF FREE RUM. -@
 The ''original package" decision seems te affect not only prohibitory laws but higt license laws also. In Ohio license law pre- vails, and it is claimed that under this de. cision person in Cincinnati, desiring te avoid the payment of license or desiring te sell intoxicants when not allowed a license by the authorities, may make his arrange ments with the wholesale liquor dealers ol the city of Covington, Kentucky, and have transported from that city to Cincinnati, as articles of interstate commerce, intoxicating liquors put up in such packages as deter mined upon between. the parties. The pack. Pges might be vials containing single drink of whisky, perhaps; or two drinks or more or one glass of beer or two, etc. IT.
 It is highly probable that the decision will lead to the passage of g bill at this ses' sion of congress which will leave matters pretty much as they were before. In the first decision of the Supreme court, upon which the recent action was largely based, the right of the State to prohibit certain i'm. ports was denied on the ground that con. gress had not given its permission to such denial, and that congress had paramount au. thority over interstate commerce. In Jus tioe Fuller's opinion, the fact that congres sional permission to allow States to prohibit the importation of liquors, if incompatible with their laws, would alter the case, waf admitted. The Iowa court were wrong sim. ply in deciding to prohibit articles of com. merce which congress still considered arti. eles of commerce between the States.

 The Journalist says concerning one who has given the readers of the JOURNAL AND COURIER much pleasure: Mr. Edgar l.. Wakeman, author, journalist and traveller, who for the past five years has furnished the American press with some of the most charming feature-service articles printed, ia certain to make his "Wakeman's WanderI ings" papers really famous in the highest literature of foreign travel and observation. His work throughout is poetry in prose; and to read after him is to travel beside him and see and feel the splendor and sadness of old world life in marvellous comprehensiveness He wanders about on foot and alone, and journals of the country begin to recognize that "the mantle of Bayard Taylor has fallen upon him." In August next he will leave the Mediterranean countries where he is now travelling, and pass the remainder of the year in Scotland, contributing studies of Scottish life and people to his American syndicate, under the title of "Afoot in Scot- land"
 Writing to the Rev. s. G. Appleget, of Inwood, New York, Mir. Herndon, Lincoln's law partner. said recently: MT. Lincoln was the great American thinker; he was always collecting, sitting and analysing facts; he studied well and thoroughly the relations of those faets-one to the other and each to all. MT. Lincoln had a keen and accurate percep- tion of things; was very cautious; had great continuity of thought; had an intense honesty of purpose, and was wise, a very wise man; shrewd one, full of practical sagacities, and whose general life was pure in every direc- tion. Some of Mr. Lincoln's leading charac- teZistics were an intense love of truth and honesty-had great naturalness-was quite demonstrative in his feelings and ideas--of easy approach, and 1iberal-minded in his views of the world and of man; and yet he remained the great unknown. The mass of men say of him: "What heartl" but those who knew the man will say: "What head!" MT. Lincoln was of tender heart; but not of h gushing, warm, social one. May in- clude his mental power ss characteristic of the greats If so, it was his leading one. Let me say to you that Mir. Lincoln lived in the realm of thought alone and with himself. Lincoln was very reticent man-was secre- tive in the extreme.

 Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria has been capercailzie shooting. He began to shoot capercailzie forty years ago, and since that time his majesty has killed 645 of them.
 A new electric device has made it's appear ance in London. This is an apparatus for measuring the amount of liquor sold st the bar and for checking and recording the sales and receipts. For each pennyworth of liquor served distinct contract is made, and the current which then passes Is made to excite an elsctro-msgnet and thus turn 8 raohet wheel through one notch. In this way the total amount of liquor served is checked.
 Converting heathen is not always easy. A gentleman who has recently returned from the cities he delivered an address upon Christianity to an audience of three hundred Brahmins, who spoke English better than he did, and who afterward came in large num- bers to his bungalow asking him to answer the arguments against Christianity in a tract they handed him, which he found to be one of Colonel Ingersoll's speeches.
 Oil from corn Is one of the latest products which modern science every now and then throws upon the world. The maize, which is now grown in the United States at the rate of some 2,OoO, ,O0o, 900 bushels per year, has been experimented with and found capable of yielding 31s per cent. of it's weight in oil, the germ of the kernal being the part from which the oil is extracted.
