When an intelligent person makes up his
mind to try Smiths Tonic Syrup, made by
DR.. John Bull, of Louisville, KY, he will
not be persuaded by his druggf.t to take
some other remedy. He will Insist on his
druggist getting the medicine he wants,
even though he may have to wait a week for
1t. When a family has once used Smiths
Tonic Syrup and experienced its quick ef-
feet in curing all symptoms of malaria,
chills ard fever summer colds, ETC., they
never allow themselves to be without
it. An intelligent father would as soon be
without flour in the house as to be without
Smiths Tonic Syrup. The children like it,
and its effect is ALWAYS satisfactory.

IRRIGATION.

kONs
 The congressional committee on the irriga- tion and reclamation of arid lands has made two reports. One sets forth that the total area of the United States, exclusive of Alas ka, is little more than 3,00O,000 square miles, and that over one-third of it must annual crops. The report therefore recom- mends 8 general system of storage reservoirs for the arid lands, and careful designation of certain lands now arid as irrigable, with provisions for their sale as homesteads. The other report, handed in by the minority, agrees in the necessity of completing the in rigation survey now in progress, and the designation of irrigable lands, but lays stress on preventing the aggregation of the water supply of the arid regions in the hands of cattle syndicates, great individual land own CTS and mining and other corporations to the detriment of small farmers. It declares that the majority bill Is drawn in the interest of the great cattle and irrigatipg companies, instead of the homestead farmer.
 This matter is an important one, and it is full of difficulties. There is already good deal of artificial irrigation in the West, and 1t has done much good. But many believe that the general government should go no further than the preliminary work of investigation and survey, and that to the States and to private enter prise may properly be left all that portion of the problem which comes after the selection and the segregation of storage sites, and the delineation of irrigable lands, with arrange ments for their acquisition as homesteads.

LICENSE IN DRAOUT.

Dracut, Massachusetts, is having novel and instructive experience with high license, an experience which shows that license must be very high in order to hinder men from selling and drinking Intoxicating liquors. The city of Lowell, which is near Dracut, voted no license, and Drscut voted license. But one rum shop is allowed in Dracut, and competition for the control of it was very lively. It was finally secured by man who paid $8,000 for it. On Saturday the saloon was opened, and at noon, when the Lowell mills closed, there was 8 rush for the Dracut saloon. Within an hour the electric railroad doubled it's car service, and every fifteen minutes two cars, in which men were packed like sardinss in box started from Lowell for ture, about 40 feet long and about 15 feet wide. It has but one entrance. The crowd be- came 50 great that the room was filled with men standing six feet deep before the bar, calling for beer. No one could get in, nor could those who were in get out. The off, cers were finally called to clear the room. Then a regular system was adopted. Enough 70 HI tuo bdlOUu WcKc dumltlou, huu tue doors were shut. The new corners were filled up and let out. Then another gang was treated similarly, but.even by this system the process was too slow. The crowd out side pushed against the doors till they burst. Hats flew of and were crushed, men came out of the crowd with clothing torn and buttons gone. Then a line was formed and 1t reached eeveral hundred feet down the dusty road. Ten bar- keepers jumped and perspired in vain en- deavor to serve the crowd. Some paid for their drinks, and others did not. They climbed in L.. windows, squeezt in by the officers and acted as if their liye- depended on getting drink.
 This pleasing performance went on until 6 o'clock, when the proprietor of the saloon said he had seen enough and the doors were closed. There is talk of complaining of the saloon as a nuisance. Nuisance is mild term for such doings.

Bohemia and Society.


 The whole question of society's relations to Bohemia is an extremely interesting one meaning by Bohemia for the present at least, the world of art and artists. In London such people appear at entertainments as guests, and of course are not paid as & usual thing. Where they are paid, they are paid very lib- orally indeed. The Rothsohilds always dis- burse fee to artists, just ss though, instead of being hosts, they were theatrical managers or operatic impressaries. Frederick Leelie and Mrs. Potter gave s'Old Love Letters' in the Rothschild drawing rooms in London and they were paid 150 pounds each. In this country they are paid almost invariably, but they are not treated as guests, although they are usually treated with utmost considera- tion. When Sarasate and d'Albert played at Mr. Vanderbilts they stood at one side during the time that they were not engaged in dispensing music, and nobody spoke to them. They didn't seem to mind it in the least. Not long ago, however, well known singer was engaged for the evening, and after she had finished the hostess gave her check and said that she would find her carriage at the door. She was very indignant over this abrupt dismissal, end has been talking to her friends about it ever since. This recalls the story of Rubinsteip, who, after playing for the queen, was offered some refreshment and his fee was handed him, as thoug h it were physician's fee, done up ir brown paper. He refueed the refreshment, threw down the fee, and, after formulating very spicy message to the queen, walked out of the castle.

 A third topic is the Stokes Hewitt incl dent. The Hewitt of the incident is the Hon. Abram s. Hewitt, Grants predecessor in office. and an individual whose sturdy and rugged honesty is quite out of fashion and of no possible further use. The Stokes Is W. E. D. Stokes, Yale graduate of the class of has cash but not nearly SO much as Stokes. Stokes has written what is called an open letter to
 Hewitt and has sent printed copies of it to
 all his acquaintauces and to many who are
 not his acquaintances. It is therefore public
 property and fair object for open criticism.
 The subject matter of the letter is of sec-
 another with openAeyed wonder and aston ishment what kind of place Yale can be

 grammatical use of the English language
 should be honored with degree; what

 had better order Stokes to return his sheep-
 skin and then advertise the fact as broadly
 as possible. Better yet; make Stokes endow
 an expiatory professorship of the rudiments
 of the English language. The right man in
 such chair might even be of assistance in
 the classical and mathematical training of those students who may still be spared from
 the task of propping the reputation of the institution with bat, oar
 and doughty kick. Stokes probably thinks he has cash enough to make his English, or any other English, current. Stokes may be right. Cash can even buy plaudits for i'm | becility.
 So talks the great Metropolis. Every year 1 it grows more crowded and seems to be in l more of hurry. If you want to get any 1 where you must be in hurry too, and band | ahead precisely as New Workers do. If you | turn out for anyone you meet on the sidewalk you will be turning out all the while and your progress will be in curves. You must ! walk with determination and force. Let it be seen by your glance that you pro pose proceeding along straight line. Clean out the fact with flashing eye that you | must be somewhere within certain time. If you allow natural politeness the slightest play, you are lost. Reserve courtesy for New Haven where, thank heaven, there are 1 still other things than the eelash, remorse- less fight for cash.

three years upon the picture, which contains nearly four hundred portraits, and required much travelling on the continent and the hir- ing of an expensive house in London in which the royal and other digni6ed persons whose portraits were painted could be re- ceived for their sittings. Mir. Lockhart says, and it is evident enough, that his expenses, while he gave his whole time to this great picture, neglecting other commissions, were many thousand pounds. The queen has ordered that one thousand pounds, and no more, shall be paid to the artist.
 The manners and morals of merry England seem to be improving. In England in 1S6S- persons; in 1SS7-88 the percentage had fallen by nearly half, and there was one known thief to every 1 1,945 persons. The decrease in the receivers of stolen goods is greater. In 1S6S-69 there was one to every g, ,430 peo- pie; in 1837-78 there was one to every 25,- 599. In 1869 there were 1869 houses kept by receivers of stolen goods; in 1888 there were only 778. The number of suspected public houses, beer shops and coffee shops hes fallen within the same period from 3,197 to 753. In 1S6e-69 there WAS only one police. man to every 556 people; in 1ss7-s8 there was one policeman to every 769 people. Such are the last statistics.
 Visitors at Heidelberg this summer will be relieved of the necessity of climbing up the long, winding road leading to the celebrated old castle and other points of interest in the neighborhood. An incline railroad has been built from the Kornmarkt in the central part of the town to the castle and the Molkenkur, the famous mountain restaurant so well known to lovers of the city in the Neckarthal. The railroad was opened amid appropriate ceremonies on March 31, delegates being present from several States of Germany. The incorporators of the company worked dili- gently for years before they succeeded in obs taining permission from the Baden legisla- ture to construct the road. They met with the greatest opposition from the professors of the university, who sent petition after pe- tition to the Grand Duke of Baden, begging him to decline to give the concession. They maintained that it would destroy the natural beauty of the place and eventually lessen the revenue of the city.
