PRoHlBITIoN PROHIBITS.

The aim OF the liquor men outside the
state, is to encourage violation OF our
prhibitory law and thus make it un-
popular. Ilearn that they have prom
ised saloon keepers money for defense il
they will go right on selling, but they do
not promise to go to jail for them. A
determined effort should be put forth by
every temperance man and woman to
enforce the law. This is done now in q
large majority OF the towns and can be
done in every one, where the officials are
not in league with the saloon. In such
cases the officials should be prosecuted.
Let us be vigilant and dcourageous.-H

Two gentlemen. residents Of one of tlse
larger towns OF the state. were actively
engaged i'll campaign work this fall.
They had been similarly engaged during
the reign OF high license, and had often
remarked the number OF drunken men
they met toward night returning from
the towns to their homes. They agreed
they would take note of all intoxicated
persons they met this fall, but although
they left the city every morning and re.
turned in the early evening for several
weeks they failed to see even one man
who showed signs OF intoxication.-

SOME ANTI-sALOON UTTERANCEs OF
SECRETARY WINDOW.

SOME ANu-sALooN urrERANcEs OF
SECRETARY WINDOW.
How to curtail and finally destroy
this evil is the great problem OF the hour.
Its solution IS next on the worlds calen-
dar of progress. 1t has been called for
trial and cannot be dismissed or post
poned. The time has therefore come
when this issue must be met.
Political parties can no longer dodge
it If they would.
Private citizens must take sides open
ly, for or against the saloon with It's
methods and results. Neutrality is
henceforth impossibility; Indifference Is
a betrayal OF the sacred trust reposed
in citizenship"
The saloon system is itself a league OF
law breakers, whose example affords a
most powerful stimulus to disorder OF
all kinds. 1t openly proclaims Its pur-
pose to disobey all laws which interfere
with its supreme purpose to make money
in its own way and at whatever sacrifice.
By what right does the saloon exist?
I know OF none.-Speech at Woodstock,
Connecticut, July 4, 1887.
The Twentieth century delivers the
following monologue on ''society's two
extremes:
When you read Ward McAllister's
book you have a picture Of what our
civilization has done for the rich. If you
will walk through the Mulberry Street
New York; district, you will see what
it has done for the poor. Between the
two extremes you will find people OF
brains, OF heart, OF virtue. But among
the four hundred and in Mulberry Street
you will find two classes OF people who
are the counterparts Of each other
With all their differences they are mar
| velously alike. One is rich the other il
poor. One class Is respectfully, the
| other is desDised. One class is polished
the other is boOrish. One class is clean
the other is filthy. But both are brain
less, both are heartless, both are sensual
One class eats pate de foie gras, the
other garlic, but both live to eat. One
class drinks champagne, the other bao
whiskcy, but both live to drink. One
class dances at Delmonico's, the Other
in dives, but both live to dance. One
class ls brutalized by poverty, the other
3 sensuallz-d by luxury. The elegant
Mr.. McAllister, filled to the chin witt
six kinds OF wine, trying to get into his
carriage; and the filthy loafer soaked
with stale beer, sleeping on lumber
pile, are brothers. Both are idlers,
both are triflers, both are supported by
the labor OF others, both are useless
both are barnacles. One has been lifted
to the top by our our social system
the other has been kicked to the bottom

Language Of Fowls.

Very tame hens often show a desire to
talk to you, and it is usually possible to
understand their meaning Once Co
chin, whose years and breeding entitled
her to separate perch, came and stood in
front of me, looked me full in the face and
complained loudly Of something l could
not translate further. Patient investiga-
ton revealed that one end OF her perch had
slipped down, and Mrs. Buff had no idea
Of sleeping On an inclined plane Another
time a nervous little Leghorn met me at
the henhouse door fairly screaming and
jumping with excitement. l understood,
from the cackle which finished each SEN
tence, that she had been disturbed on her
nest I did not wonder at her new powers
of speech when l found the nest occupied
by nv cat and three small kittens.
When the chickens first begin to move
in the egg, just before Matching, the moth
er hen sings to them q low, grooming song,
very sweet and never heard at any other
time. 4 friend tells me that her canary
startled her one day By an entirely new
call. 1t was so plainly Come here, ouick~
that she hurried to the cage to find an
enormous cat, with face pressed against
the window pane, staring in at poor Ned
danger sufficiently great to account for
the new call.
There are but two ways by which one
can hear animals converse. One is by lis
tening to them when they are not aware of
yoar presence, always difficult feat The
oshsr is by winning their entire lore and
confidence. HaCalanan'a Rpl2 HaEyd.
