UNDER the workings of a secret ballot the prohibition vote in Massachusetts has fallen of so that the party is below the ten per cent. needed to secure place upon the official ballot except through petition. There Is but one way to account for this the politician who is in that party, be- cause he can better serve the one for which he has greater love, can bravely urge his fellows to "stand up and be counted" and then in the privacy of the booth arrange that he himself may be counted for the ticket in the success of which he feels greatest interest.

Turf Cutting in Ireland.

Among the chief characteristic 1eat.

moors that occupy principal portion OF

1 .OOO, 900 acres; but by cultivatiop lts
size has been considerably diminished.
Tn the form of table-land, IL rises 2IO
feet above the level of the sea, extends

Kings County, reaching east and west

His First Boar.

A Russian officer at one of the military |
stations in the Caucasus hearing OF the
presence in his neighborhood OF two
gentlemen in pursuit of boar, sent to
them an invitation to join him on the
following day, when he would give
them taste of real sport. With many
thanks they accepted the kindness, ana
1t the appointed time set off.
During the day many shots were fired
1t one thing and another, though at least
one of the party had seen no boar. AS
the afternoon wore on and the daylight
began to disappear, one of the Russians
quests, who had wandered away from
his friends, found himself rather tagged,
! and felt that it was time to stop.
f. Just then he heard the dogs baying
something not far from him, and atter
creeping up to within thirty yards OF
them, he crouched behind the bole OF
a huge oak, and waited for his eyes to
get used to the darkness. He was soon
able to make out the dogs tails waving
to and fro, and then, under leaning
tree-stump, the indistinct outline OF their
enemy. Meantime, the boar kept up a
half -grunting, half-growling noise, While
the dogs barked their loudest.
"Suddenly," says the gentleman, "the
mass moved, and dog went flying, ana
his wells were added to the discord. Bul
this movement of the boar's was fata
