PROHIBITION IN IOWA.
A Dubuque Lawyer Says the Law Is Not
Enforced.

Mr.. S. d. Pollock, a lawyer. OF Dubuque, Ia,
Is at the Diier hotel sThe question OF prohi-
bition,' said be last evening, .'does not seem to
be cutting very large figure In your politics,
but In Iowa the discussion OF 1t has by no means
stopped. The truth is that the prohibitory law
is not enforced in the river towns and in the
larger places OF the state, although In the rural
districts the enforcement is fairly effective.
This state of things is due not so much to de-
fects in the law TO the fact that the legislation
is.ahead OF public sentiment, and when a law is
not supported by public sentiment il is likely to
be dead letter.
"The attitude OF the Republican party on the
question OF prohibition has cost il many votes,
and the majority of 300 which Iowa once gave
TO the Republicans has been cut down TO almost
nothing ~

A Bank True to its Pledge.

The Central Bank of Savannah re-
deemed, few days ago, seven Gifts 100
dollar-bills issued in 1855 and 1857, over
thirty years old. The bills, which were
we'll preserved, were found in an old
pocket-book among the personal effects
OF the late Martha Adams. and were
presented by the executors of the estate
for redemption, and were promptly
paid by the bank. The bills bear the
signature of r. r. Cuyler, President,
and George A. Cuyler, Cashier. and the
dates of issue are filled out in the hand
writing of T. NJ Cunningham, then
holding a clerical position in the bank,
and now its cashier.
There must have been an incident
connected with the bills, or they would
not have been so long treasured as they
were. Safely invested at the date of
issue, said Mr.. Cunningham yesterday,
the money would have doubled every
ten years, and would now represent over
$4,000.
"Has all the currency issued by the
Central Bank teen redeemed ?" Mr..
Cunningham was asked, and he replied
that there must be very little outstand-
ing now. There is no record, he said, of
the outstanding bills of the Central
Bank, which has redeemed since the
war about 100000. This drag, he said,
came in after the war, and although the
bank had lost millions in Confederate
money it had redeemed all of its own
issue. This last presentation OF the
CentraPs antebellum currency he adj
mitted was unexpected, and will be
hurued

Good Rules for Winter.
From the New York Ledger.

From the New York Ledger.
The following rules are worth needing
by those who believe an ounce of pre-
vention is worth a pound of cure:
Never lean with the back upon any,
thing that is cold.
Never begin journey until the break
fast has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then
Immediately go out into the cold.
Keep the back, especially between
the shoulder blades, we'll covered; also
the chest well protected. In sleeping
in cold room establish the habit of
breathing through the nose, and never
with the mouth open.
Never go to bed with cold or damp
feet.
Never omit regular bathing, for unless
the skin is in active condition the cold
will close the pores. and favor conges-
ton and other diseases.
Alter exercise Of any kind, never
ride in an open carriage or near the
window of a Car for a moment; it is dam
gerous to health and even to life.
When hoarse, speak as little as posi-
from. else the voice may be permanent
lost, or difficulties of the throat be pro-
duced.
Merely warm the back by a fire, and
never continue keeping the back ex-
posed to heat after 1t has become I'M
comfortably warm. To so expose the
back is facilitating.
When going from warm atmosphere
into cooler one keep the mouth
closed, so that the air may be warmed
by it's passage through the nose ere it
reaches the lungs.
Never stand still in cold weather, es-
pecially after having taken slight de-
gree of exercise; and always avoid
standing on ice or snow, or where the
person is expose d to cold wind.

Clerks Who Go Laaded.

''Long-felt wants." says the Washing
ton Post, turn up at intervals, and the
proprietor of a saloon on Pennsylvania
Avenue, not far from the Corcoran Art
Gallery, appears to have discovered
and filed one. The location of his place
makes it convenient for the employees
of the uptown departments, especially
those in the Safe, War, and Navy De-
partment building.
One of the greatest disadvantages un-
der which clerks with absorptive tenn
regulations which prevent them getting
a tipple when they feel inclined, and it
is to fill this want that the enterprising
saloon keeper has turned his attention.
When the customer gets his morning nip
on the way to the department. he pays
20 cents and receives drink in small
bottle, the size and shape Of an Ordi-
nary watch. This makes the price of
two drinks taken at the same time.
Along in the day, when the clerk feels
the need of little more stimulus, he
can go into his vest pocket and get it.
The bottle is SO small, occupying no
more room than watch, that drink
can be taken from it clandestinely, even
if chief of division were at hand.
At the noon lunch hour the clerk can

Navy Department building. care you

The bottle holds liberal drink, just
about four fingers, or what bar keeper
would call a bath. Most drinkers do
not care for 80 much at one dose, and it
is the practice to share the drink with
friendly associate. That is why, you will

up to the clerks desk and demanded in
excited tones:

Skill in Breeding.

The men who attain great success in
breeding seem to be possessed with an
uncommon amount of sense verging al
most on genius. 1t was by such men
that the distinctive breeds of cattle and
sheep have been produced. Studying
closely the prevailing characteristics Of
individual specimens, they only mated
those whose good qualities would har-
monte with the ideal they had always
in mind. Of course, mistakes were
were procured, and the process contin-
ued. Good feeding has much to do with
success, especially where flesh and lat
were the desired qualities, but no
amount Of feeding uncombined with
skill could change a scrub herd or flock
into anything else than it is. 1t would
be like trying to make polished gem
tleman from an untaught savage, mere
Iy by putting him into the clothes Of a
civilized and refined man.
