ShullSburg Votes for S200 License.
The Pick and cd

An election took place in the city Of
Shullsburg on Tuesday of this week
to determine the amount to be charged
for license to sell intoxicating liquors
within the limits of the corporation as
provided by the statutes of the state.
The vote was as follows: For 5000
in First ward II votes, in Second ward
Sc votes, total l2S. For $3.50, in First
ward 6 votes, in Second ward 3 votes,
total 9. For 500, in First ward -
votes, in Second ward 20 votes, total
IL votes. The result is that the license
will remain at 5000, the same as is
now charged. This election settles
the question for the ensuing three
years and as the advocates of the
different amounts have had an oppor-
tunity of expressing their opinions by
ballot everybody ought to be satisfied.
rheumatism is caused by poisonous
acid in the blood and yields to Ayers
Pills. Many cases which seem chronic
and hopeless, have been completely
cured by this medicine. 1t will cost
but little to try what effect the Pills
may have in your case.

Nearly every pattern Of "a Horse
Blanket is initiated in color and
style. In most cases the imitation
looks Just as good as the genuine,
but it haSRf ne ;tyVp threads, and
so lacks strength, and while it sells
for only 4 little less than the gcnu-
inc it isntworth one half asmuch,
The fact that M Horse Blankets
are copied is strong evidence
that they are THE STANDARD,
and every buyer should see that

Have You Learned to Walk?

Americans are bad walkers, says q
writer in the n. Y. World. It is rare
to find an exception, even in our army.
Among Europeans and the aborigines
of our own continent a noble mien is
not uncommon. l understand the
causes of this ugly defect among our
people, and my present purpose is to
call attention to it and to point out the
remedy.
In English and French books on the
military drill and physical training
whole chapters discuss the subject of
walking. We are told that this or that
part of the foot must touch the ground
first; that the angles must be so and so.
etc. I will not say this advice is not
right, but will say that very few have
been helped by it.
Look at good walker Shoulders,
head, and hips drawn we'll back, and
the chest thrown forward. What
firm, vigorous tread! Such a walk may
easily be secured by carrying weight
upon the head. An iron crown has
been devised for this purpose. 1t con-
sistS of three crowns, one within the
other each weighing about nine
pounds. One or all three may be worn
at time.
The water carriers of southern
Europe, although belonging to the low
est class. have noble bearing. Ger
tain negroes in the south, who ''tote"
burdens upon the head as a business,
can be readily pointed out in a crowd.
The effort required to keep the burden
directly over the spine so develops the
muscles of the back and neck that in
the absence of the burden the head is
carried in noble, erect attitude.
By carrying one of these crowns
upon the head half an hour two or
three times day while walking in the
garden or through the halls of the
house one may soon become fine
walker. One-tenth of the time occupied
in learning few tunes on the piano
given to this exercise would insure any
girl noble carriage. The crown is not
necessary. Any weight which does not
press upon the very crown of the head,
but about it, will answer the purpose
equally well.

A Conundrum of the Workshops.

When the flash of a new born sun fell first on
Eden's green and gold,
Our Father Adam sat under the Tree and
scratched with a stick in the mold;
And the first rude sketch that the world had
seen was joy to his mighty heart.
Till the Devil whispered behind the leaves,
Its pretty, but is it art?"
Wherefore he called to his wife, and fed to
fashion his work anew
Ine nrst of his race who cared a fig for the
first, most dread review;
And he left his lore to the use of his sons
Wis., ana t41 tnat was glorious gain
ear of the branded Cain.
They builded tower to shiver the sky and
wrench the stars apart,
I'LL the Devil grunted behind the bricks: Its
striking, but is it art?"
The stone was dropped by the quarry side and
the idle derrick swung,
While each man talked of the aims of art, and
each in an alien tongue.
They fought and they talked in the North and
the South, they talked and they fought
in the West,
Till the waters rose on the jabbering land and
the poor Red Clay had rest
Had rest till the dank blank canvas dawn
when the dove was preened to start,
And the Devil bubbled below the keel: Its
human but is it art?'
The tale is as old as the Eden Tree-as new as
the new cut tooth
he is master of art and truth;
And each man hears as the twilight nears, to
the beat of his dying heart,
The Devil drum on the darkened pane: You
did it, but was it art?''
We have learned to whittle the Eden Tree to
the shape of a surplice peg,
We have learned to bottle our parents twain
in the yolk of an added egg,
w know that the tail must wag the dog, as
the horse is drawn by the cart;
But the Devil whoOps, as he whooped of old:
Its clever, but is it art?''
When the flicker of London sun falls faint on
the club rooms green and. gold,
The sons of Adam sit them down aud scratch
with their pens in the mold
They scratch with their pens in the mold of
their graves, and the ink and the anguish
start
When the Devil mutters behind the leaves:
Its pretty, but is it art?''
Now, if we could win to the Eden Tree where
the four great rivers flow,
And the wreath of Eve is red on the turf as
she left it long ago,
And if we could come when the sentry slept
and softly scurry through,
By the favor of God we might know as much
as our father Adam knew.
-Rudyard Kipling in the Scots Observer.

Made Money from Thieves.

Up in the mountains near Asheville
there used to be an old darky who had
a great reputation, both as thief
catcher and as secreter of thieves as
well, says the N. Y. San. If thief
went to him for a charm before the
crime was committed or after doing
it, providing the loser had not pre-
viously arrived for one, the old darky
would insure safety. On the other
hand, if the old fellow had not been
bought off by the thief, the loser could
get charm that would capture the
thief and recover the property. The
charm for capturing the thief consisted
of three white hairs from a horses
tail, cut to an equal length and placed
simultaneously on hot shovel. When
they curled under the heat they would
point in the direction of the home of
the thief.
The thief who wanted to escape used
black hairs, and, when they curled. he
fed in the direction indicated, unless
they shriveled, in which case he re-
manned quietly about his usual haunts.
The whites say that the old darky
would seldom manipulate the white
hairs until at least one day after being
informed of the theft, and that there
were other indications that he used
other than occult powers in finding the
thief. The western part of the state
was favorite haunt for horse thieves,
who found it easy to run good horses
through the mountain passes into Ten
nessee, and it was chiefly in the catch
ing and protection of these that old
Abraham Durbill was employed.
Eventually he seems to have used his
powers so much in favor of the thieves
that some horse owners got exasper-
ated beyond endurance, for he was
found one morning hanging by the
neck to the limb of a tree, with the
body of Pert Stacy. a well-known thief,
hanging beside him.

Chevaux-De-Frise.

Several centuries ago. the peasantry
of Friesland finding their country in
vaded by a mounted army. and having
no cavalry to put in opposition. con-
ceived the idea of stopping the advance
of the horses by putting in their way
pieces of timber, pierced in x fashion
by stout rods of wood. tipped with
sharp iron points. 1t was impossible
for the horses of the invaders to make
any way against this ingenious device.
and, with a grim sort of humor, the
soldiers dubbed it the horse of Fries
land, or, those particular soldiers be-
ing Frenchmen, cheval de Friesland.
This was presently corrupted to che
val-de-frise or, in the plural, chevaux-
de-frise.
What the Friesians did then, soldiers
who are put on the defensive have
done ever since; and so have garden
ers who grow tempting fruits, or gen.
tlemen who have attractive dooryards
in the city. In fact a cheval-de-frise,
properly constructed, is so good bar
rier to progress, that it seems to sug-
gest itself naturally to both man and
beast; for it is not only the soldier
who constructs one according to rule,
or the gardener who makes one OIL
hand by sowing broken bottles in NOR
tar on the top of his wall, who have
thought of this method of repelling in
vasion. A great many birds recog-
n1ze the value of thorn bushes for
nesting places, and one bird at least
the road-runner of our western, or
southwestern, plains-displays now
and then sound knowledge of the
practical uses of the chevaux-de-frise.
1t is said that its hatred of rattlesnakes
is so intense that when it finds one
asleep in the warm sand of the deserts
it will gather the spiny leaves of the
prickly pear-a species of cactus-and
surround the snake with them in such
a manner that it is impossible for the
beleaguered reptile to escape without
passing over the spiny wall, thing he
cannot do without becoming impaled
upon the sharp spines.-iSt. Nicholas.

Military Consumption in Germany.

Military conscription is being en-
forced in Germany with more than
usual stringency, and the socialist
leaders are denouncing the system.
A Cologne correspondent of the Lon
don Ne50s says it is pitiful spectacle to
see the squads of German conscripts at
the various stations awaiting enforced
transportation from home and friends.
They look more like convicts on the
way to iail than recruits for the army
of the mpire. and as they are sur
round,.; by throngs of weeping and
wailiu- relatives the cruelty of the
system lorces itself on the mind of the
observer. Just now these conscripts
are being driven to the military depots
in droyes from all parts of Germany.

ormsby District School Money.

State contribution, July 10, for
support Of the public schools was
100000, OF which sum 50, 5l9.S5
goes t. Ormsby county, and of
that, about $4,000 will be received
by this school district, which is
the largest sum for many years, if
ever. 1t is true that this includes
the sum Of $4,000, being the one
half OF the amount of interest
heretofore paid into the State
School Fund enormously, but de-
Quoting thai amount would still
give $4,000 for distribution
nearly double what it has been
the past ten years, and the first
years interest on the great major
ity Of the new State contracts not
maturing until late this Fall and
and still more year hence.
We are OF the opinion that ex-
school Trustee Hanford, in his
statements made at the Opera
House year since on the new
school house question, much IN
derated his estimates as to the
substantial help which this and
other school districts would in the
future receive from the State.

AWORD FOR THE PRINCE.

1t is the proper thing just now
to kick the Prince. Of Wales. The
Established Church kicks him be-
cause he is expected one day to be
its recognized head, and the
church cannot approve OF gam
bling; the Nonconformists kick
him for the same reason, with the
added incentive that they are op-
posed to the Established Church
on principle; the Liberals in poll
tiles are making the most Of the
opportunities, and the Cons erva-
tives are kicking, with good rea-
sen, because the Liberals have
given such chance against them
In this country the Prince is
roundly denounced, partly because
he deserves censure on his own
account, and partly because, de-
spite the foolish aping of aTistoc
racy by a few, there is still q Wig
orous and wholesome contempt
for royalty among the masses Of
the people.
The Prince undoubtedly de-
serves censure-perhaps all he IL
receiving-but there a,e some con-
ditions in his case which do not
appear to have been greatly con-
sidered.
Royalty is an accident of birth,
and not a proof or a mark OF diff
ference in the mental or physical
characteristic Of human beings, and
those in this country who claim that
all men are created equal, consider
that a Prince has no right to be
like thousands OF others.
The Prince was bright, active
boy, and this fact was noted with
pride and pleasure. Having the
natural propensities Of other boys,
and not feeling the restraint OF
short funds or the necessity for
prudence, having nothing to do
but wear great honors and wait
for more, beng constantly in the
company OF men Of sporting pro-
pensities, with less chance to
choose his companions than boy
in humble station, it is really less
surprising that he is where he is
now, than it would have been had
he restrained his propensities for
excitement, left the care Of his
tutor and settled down into an
aimless, useless model OF perfec-
ton.
II the Prince had neglected any
occupation which he was required
to follow, il there had been any
regular employment which his
station would have permitted him
to engage in, there might have
been some chance to criticise his
choice. But he has really had no
chance. There was no chance for
political ambition to engage his
mind and energies, for his destiny
was fixed, and there was no ne
cessity for his working his way
up.
He simply had the desires of
common men without their oppor-
tunities to restrain and direct
them. and the blame which is now
heaped upon him should at least
be equally divided with the sys-
TEN Of government which has
produced him.
