Good Wine Wants No Bush /"

A sign common to the licensed victualer
was the ivy Bush" or BUSH" hence the
maxim Good wine needs no BUSH" as
houses where good and wholesome bever-
ages could be obtained needed no bush or
sign. A writer in 1908 says, "Spied bush
at end of pole, the antient badge of an ale
house" A further quotation will show
the generality of this sign in Good Nerves
and Bad Nerves" The host says:
l rather will take down my bush and sign
Than live by means of riotous expense.
Publicans were not the only users of this
emblem, but all persons displayed it on
articles for sale; hence the fixing of bosom
or birch broom at the masthead of vessel
on purchase. In Harris "Drunkard's
Cup" we meet with the following:
IF house be not worth an ivie bush,
let him have his tooles about him, nut
megs, rosemary, tobacco. and other appur-
tenances, and he knows enough Of puddle
ale to make cup of wine"
A wisp of straw was once the sign of an
alehouse in Scotland and parts of Eng
land In Staffordshire and Bucks, within
the last fifty years, a bush was customarily
hung at an alehouse door, or, as they are
termed, mug houses" in the former, and
Jerry houses" in the latter. Prior to that
period, beer shops at provincial fairs and
wakes displayed green bunch, or branch,
over the door

Fine Feathers Make the Bird.

The biggest of all really powerful flying
birds are. l believe, the wandering alba
tross and the South American condor; for
the roc reject outright as worthy only Of
the most restricted Arabian and nocturnal
ornithology. Seen on the wing, or even
with the wings expanded merely, both
these great existing birds have most ma
jestic and colossal appearance. But feath-
ers In such cases are very deceptive; they
make fine birds out of very small bodies
For example, our well known little Eng
fish swift, which looks so imposing in fight
as it passes overhead with pinions poised,
is hardly as big when plucked as mans
top thumb joint, and weighs only half
an ounce. So, too, the albatross, though
its expanse of wing is said to exceed that
of any other known bird, amounting some
times to nearly ten feet from tip to tip,
does not average in weight more than fif-
teen pounds, which is just exactly the
poulterer's statement for my last family
Christmas turkey. AS for the condor,
while he spans from wing to wing some
eight feet, his length from beak to tail is
only three and half, and l doubt if he
would pluck into anything corresponding
to his magnificent outer show-though
am bound to admit that have never per-
sonally tried the unpleasant experiment,

Springer Has Them All.
Chtraga Times


A st. Louis newspaper recently pub
lished under Washington date long
article on the speakership question, In the
course of which the correspondent went
out of his way to misrepresent Springer
and misstate the position of the Illinois
delegation to the next congress.
ut is known here" stated the cores
pendent. that at least eight of the Iii
nois delegation are not in favor of
Springer for speaker, though they are
willing 10 give him a complimentary vote
with the understanding that they are at
liberty to abandon him after one vote "
The Times correspondent has, since
the publication of the above, personally
seen or had letters from all the members
of the Illinois delegation or their best
friends, regarding the speakeIship ques-
ton, and can state authoritatively that
there is not scintills of evidence to back
such an assertion as the above. Every
member of the delegation is earnestly and
heartily for Mr.. Springer for speaker, and
they will stand by him as long as he has
friends from other states voting for him.
Only two CT them announced a sec
ond choice. The majority assert that
they are for Springer without reservation
and without second choice. The two
exceptions are Fithian and NewbeIry. and
they will stand by Illinois favorite son as
long as there is any hope Of his election.
Nobody doubts the stalwart democracy
and loyalty of Illinois democrats except
the biased friends of other candidates.
The ebbing emotions of these compel their
friends to adopt extreme measures to ir-
still life into their canvass. To do this
they impeach the honor and attack the
integrity of the Illinois delegation as q
whole. They dare not name one Illinois
Congressman who will leave Mr..
Springer after complimentary vote. "
Mr.. Springer can count on the loyal, un-
divided, and earnest support of Allan G..
Durborow, Jr., Walter c. Newberry,
Lewis Steward, Herman W. Snow, Benz
jsmin T. Gable, Scott Wike, Owen Scott,
Samuel T. Busey, George W. Fithian,

commissioners, position with which be
has honored me-"
1t can be set down as q certainty that
Tanners resignation will be received by
Gov Fifer before many days. 1t is also
certain Tanner will be q caud: date for
state treasurer. He has abso. yed all
friends under Filters administration from
allegiance to him, leaving them to follow
their own inclinations. BE will make a
township canvass of the state if Eeces,
sary. He cannot ssssil Fifer if he were
so inclined. because he has done nothing
for three long years but talk Fifer in and
out of season.
Another phase of the situation is Curl
Gus. Tanner is one of Senator Cullom's
most confidential frilnds. The senator
will probably cooperate with Tanner 10
the fullest extent. He hasn't as much
fear as Fifer of the CRY about the ma
chine, and believes in results achieved
by cooperation and foresight. Ii is more
than likely Cullom's friends will back up
Tanner to a man. and then there will be
{. struggle that will be worth watching,
No doubt about it. The Peoria Herald
shifts the battle which is not SO very far
away, and says:
When Gov. Fifer placed John Tanner
on the railroad and warehouse commits
SION he had a double object in view. The
first was to secure the assistance of that
sstute and INSCRIPTIONS politician for his
second term aspirations; the second was
to do away with the desire Tanner had
to become state treasurer. Ia the first
he was partly successful ard Tanner has
devoted his energies since his appoint-
m emit toward securing second term for
private Joe. But he doesn't intend to
smother his own politic,l ambition even
t. please the executive mead of the state
Hence there is GOODNESS between the
two which bids fair to develop into open
ho.tilities. Fifer very properly believes
that with Tanner on the state ticket he
would act like stone about the others
necks and sink the whole blooming batch
under wave of adverse votes. Tan
ner's record is bad one and he could not
possibly secure the hearty support of the
republican press of the state. Tanners
untimely ambition has very dishearten-
ing effect upon Fifer.

WOMAN IN GERMANY.
A Point Over Which Female Advocates OF
Emancipation of Their Sex Lament.

A Point Over Which Female Advocates OF
Emancipation of Their Sex Lament.
In Germany freedom belongs to those
only who are able to fulfill all their duties
toward the commonwealth, who are fit to
bear the burden of freedom The prime
duty is to defend, sword in hand, the native
soil Whoever, man or woman, was not
able to do that, had no claim to the exer-
else of power in the community, to per
sonal independence, no civil rights, not
even the right of administering a private
fortune. The child, the invalid, the old
man, were temporarily deprived of these
rights; women were excluded from them
altogether.
With regard to the girlhood OF Germany,
a change was brought about at the end of
the Fifth century. The right of the Ger
man girl to own property dates from that
time. The administration of her fortune,
however, was left to guardian She was
partially free, and not until the Thirteenth
century did she really enter into the indie
pendent possession Of her fortune, did she
become legal person, not indeed accord
ing to public, but to private right, and SO
she has remained to the present day
Only in so far as the legal position of
the married woman must exercise moral
influence on the life of the unmarried is il
necessary to say word of the legal foun-
dation OF marriage in Germany. 1t rests
entirely on the view of the superiority OF
man, of the subordination of woman.
Even the notion that she is bought by her
husband survives, in however slight
form, in the ceremony of betrothal Her
husband Is her master, her guardian, her
natural supporter; above all, he is her edu-
Gator. She shares his rank, his name, his
dignities, his fortune, but without him she
cannot administer her own. I'm the do
main of law she remains subject" Sohm
concludes, land If she reigns at all, it must
be by the free will CT man"
In a country like Germany, where in all
matters connected with moral and intel.
lectual life the links of tradition have
never been severed, the present is ex-
planned by the past. Disdainful silence is
the mildest form of criticism opponents
will offer whenever on the platform or from
the professional chair the attempt is made
to plead in favor of women's political
rights, says the English contemporary from
which we quote

How to Kill q Cat.

One who has tried it assures the public
that in spite of cats having nine lives, it
may be easily put to death by the follow
ing plan: Draw a sock over pussy's head SO
that the toe of the sock is brought to her
nose or nearly SO; then pour about half n
teaspoonful of chloroform on the sock close
to her nose. Almost as soon as she has be-
come frightened by the unusual smell of
chloroform she quietly goes off to sleep; a
little more chloroform is added-perhaps
twice-and pussy never wakes again. The
indiscriminate laying down of poison for
cats or anything else that may come along
cannot be too strongly denounced. II the
cats are not Sin hand" that are req uired
to be poisoned they may be caught in wire
traps, like large rat-cage traps, and chloro-
formed by spray from a small spray pro-
ducer, without removal from the cage I'M

Fifer VS.. Tanner.

The political sensation Of the day in
Illinois is the split between Gov. Fifer
and ex-State Treasurer John R. Tanner,
who have been confidential and close
friends for years. With Senator Cullum
rs the the head boss they formed close
corporation in politics, and worked to-
gether for their mutual advantage. Tan.
ner was largely instrumental in securing
Filters nomination for governor. and upon
the expiration Of the term of the railway
commissioners last winter Tanner was
appointed by the governor as member
of that board. Thus far everything
seemed to work smoothly, and il Mr..
Tanner had been contented to remain a
railway commissioner peace most likely
would have continued. But the cause of
the ruction between them, as the
story goes. is Tanners ambition to
be nominated again for state Treas
urer next year. This desire has been
known for some time, and ap>
parently has been acquiesced in if not
encouraged by the governor. But for
some reason not known, but suspected
to be opposition OF other state officials
and prominent republican politicians, o
change has come over Gov. Fifer. and he
now evidently thinks Tanner ought not
to be a candidate for state treasurer and
has ;fof 20
given is that The believes that Tanners
candidacy would imperil the success of
the ticket il he were nominated. on the
ground that the party has had its full
sale of machine politics and machine
tickets" Tanner disagrees with the gov.
ernor, of course, on this issue. He thinks
that the ticket would be strengthened by
his nomination, and that he would help
pull Private Joe through the next cam
paign. The result of this disagreement,
as told in Chicago Tribune special, is as
follows:
The upshot Of the whole matter is,
Tanner will be candidate for state treas
urer no matter what the state house folks
may think, and he will get there il he can.
Gov. Fifer doesn't want Tanners name
ON the ticket with his own. The objec-
lions to Tanners candidacy already given
will not receive any material backing
from some of Filters friends. Tanner is
o peculiar man and has great ideas as to
the proprieties of the situation. his ar
gument with himself will be something

Lacemaking in Japan.

Lacemaking is comparatively modern
industry in Japan, having been apparently
introduced into the country as late as ten
or twelve years ago, but in that time it has
made wonderful progress. This is not
wonderful when it is remembered how the
japanese excel in delicate work requiring
dexterity, and how successful they had
previously been with embroidery. Japan
csc lace has hitherto been mainly consumed
at home, but recently Toxic firm has
been very successful in selling specimens
Of its productions in England, France and
Belgium, and it is confidently anticipated
that large export business may in time
be developed.
