Senator PETER on LIQUOR.

Senator-elect PETER, of Kansas, who
is the successor of the late Senator In
gals, made an address at temperance
meeting in Washington the other day
in which he presented an interesting
grouping of figures to show the extent
of the manufacture and sale of intoxi-
eating liquors. He said that during the
year 1890 there were 25,O00,000 barrels
of fermented liquors manufactured in
this country, and on October / there
were $4,000, 900 gallons of distilled spir-
its in bonded warehouses and 1G, 600, 00c
gallons in the establishments of whole
sale Dealers "Suppose, said the SEN
ator, 1--WE put this in a canal twenty
feet wide and ten feet deep the canal
would have to be fifteen miles long.
Let us make lake of it and it would
be mile square and thirtytwo feet
deep. What is all that liquor for? Out
in Kansas we have come to the conclu.
sion that liquor has no use in the world,
that places for open drinking are
nuisances and dens of iniquity. Liquor
controls elections, debauches the bal
lot, bereaves families and destroys
homes."-N. Y. Witness.

SILVER COLLARS,

Put Around the Necks of Slaves Centuries
Ago.
In the London Gazette for March,
1855, there is an advertisement to the
effect that a black boy of about fifteen
years of age, named John White, ran
away from Col. Kirke on the 18th inst.
''He has silver collar about his neck
upon which is the colonel's coat-of-
arms and cipher. He has upon his
throat great SCAR" etc. A reward is
offered for bringing him back.
In the Daily Post of August 4, 1920, is
similar notice: went away the 22d
of July last from the house of William
Webb, in Limehouse Hole, a negro
man, about twenty years old, called
Dick, yellow complexion, wool hair,
about five feet six inches high, having
on his right breast the word Hare
burned. Whoever brings him t~ tho
said Mr.. Webb's shall have half a guinea
reward and reasonable charges"
Again, in the Daily Journal for Sep
TENDER 20, 1928, is an advertisement for
a runaway black boy. 1t is added that
he had the words ''My Lady Brom-
fields black in Lincoln's Inn Fields''
engraved on a collar round his neck.

male and female slaves in England

pie set for it in a high quarter.
There still exists at Hampton Court
the bust of favorite slave of King
William ILL.,, the head of which is of
black marble, while encircling the
throat is carved white marble collar
with a paddock, in every respect like a
metal dog collar.
In the museum of the ANTIQUARIAN
society in Edinburgh there is a speci-

this case the wearer of the collar was
not a black man, but a white The
collar bears the following inscription:
alexander Stewart, found guilty of
death for theft, at Perth, December $,
1901. Gifted by the justiciaries as a
perpetual servant to Sir John Erskine
of Alva."
That a collar was considered as es-
sential for black slave as for dog is
shown by an advertisement in the Lon
don Advertiser for 1856, in which Mat
thew Dyer, working goldsmith at the
Crown in Duck lane, Orchard street,
Westminster, intimates to the public
that he makes "silver padlocks for
blacks or dogs, collars" etc.-Cham-

A BATTLE BENEATH THE SEA.

An Ocean Divers Fight for Life with an
Octopus.
The occupation of diver is one that
offers but little attraction to those who
by temperament have no fancy for ex-
ploring the mysteries of the deep" 1t
is, however, not so monotonous an en-
ployment as might be imagined, and
divers occasionally meet with exciting
adventures while engaged in their
labors.
One of these fell to the lot of a gov
eminent diver in Victoria, Mr.. Smale,
while at work on the bed of the Moyne
river at Belfast in that colony; and
from the account he gives of it. it must
have been more exciting than pleasant.
Having thrust his arm into hole he
found that 1T was held by something;
the action of the water was stirring up
the clay, and therefore / could not see
distinctly for few minutes; but when
it did clear away saw to my horror
the arm of a large octopus entwined
around mine like boa constructor; just
then he fixed some of his suckers on
the back of my hand, and the pain was
intense.
81 felt as if my hand was being pulled
to pieces, anu the more l tried to take
it away the greater the pain became;
method would be useless; but what
was to do lying in this position?
II had the greatest difficulty in keep
ing my feet down, as the air rushed
along the interior of my dress, and in

sible, held in such a position; and also
if had given the signal to be pulled up
the brute would have held on, and the
chances would have been that should
have had a broken arm.
81 had a hammer by me, but could
not reach down to use it on the brute.
''There was small iron bar about
five feet from me, and with my foot 1
dragged this along until I could reach
it with my left hand.
''And now the fight commenced; the
more I struck him the tighter he
squeezed, until my arm got quite be-
numbed. After awhile found the grip
began to relax a little, but he held on
until had almost cut him to pieces,
and then he relaxed his hold from the
rock and pulled him up.
Il was completely exhausted, having
been in that position for about twenty
minutes. brought the animal up, or
rather a part of it. We laid him out,
and he measured over eight feet across;

Why Some Marriages Are Failures.

One reason why marriage is so often a
failure is that the average man falls in
love with woman because she has two
or three of the qualities which he attrib-
utes to the ideal woman and never gets
over blaming her afterward because she
doesn't have the rest. Women don't
make any such mistake They don't ex-
pect to find in the average man any of
the qualities possessed by their ideal
and they are very seldom disappointed
