PROHIBITION DISCUSSION.

About q dozen members OF the Pro-
hihtion club met in Good Templars
hall in the McMullen block Saturday
evening to continue the discussion Of
an editorial that recently appeared in
their party organ. The Voice, headed
The Urgodly League Between tho
Church and the Saloon" The editorial
was severely criticised for charging the
church with being in league with the
saloon, and it was argued that the two
are in direct opposition to each other,
as the one seeks to elevate mankind
while the other tends to destroy every
moral principle.

The following eloquent and touch
ing letter of coincidence by Mazzini
is published for the first time in the
Century. 1t is written to the mother
of a deceased friend of the great
Italian:
Like the Macedonian legion, when
one was falling, draw nearer all you
that remain; love each other more
dearly; see, help, advise one another
more than ever; commune with her
who has loved and loves you all by
communing more intimately with one
another, and remember, for Gods
sake, that there is no such thing as
death for all that is best in us; that
what people call death is only a
transformation and step onward in
life. Love is vouchsafer for immOr-
tally. We would not scatter sim
gle flower on tomb If there was not
an instinct in the soul teaching us
that our love pleases the cherished
one who Is buried beneath, and de-
pend upon me thcre 10 moro truth dis
covered by these flashes Of the virgin
soul than by all the dim, painfully
elaborated lanterns Of analysis and
reasoning knowledge.
"And this fate of mine, which ]
would give all my actual life gladly
for feeling able to infuse into you all,
and my grieving with you all over our
loss, and my loving you all more
dearly than before-that is all the
consolation can give to you, dearest
friend. / wish / could be with you
during these days, and 1t makes me
feel bitterly the bondage Of my con-
dition. Still, 1 live, think, feel with
you the best part of the day; and
dreamed of you all during the few
hours of sleep had last night. My
dear, dear friend, how should wish
to be able to take on my own poor,
doomed life all your sorrows, and to
yield to your own all the smiles that
your affections have been yielding

woodpecker's Justice.

"a year ago last spring." said a cor
respondent, "a pair Of red-headed
woodpeckers determined to peck a
hole in the boarding under the caves
of house, as woodpeckers often do.
The owner Of the house, not liking
such mutilation, after repeated efforts
succeeded in driving them away, and
they went to work at once and dug a
hole in the nearest tree.
when the BIRDS home was finished
and housekeeping had begun, the
farmers boys captured the female as
she sat in the nest, and kept her in a
cage, hoping in that way to catch the
male also, which had flown away when
his mate was seized.
"Two days later he returned with
another wife. The boys relented at
the sight. They gave Mrs. Wood
pecker number one her liberty, and
awaited results.
ITO their surprise the male wood
pecker, after a relentless pursuit of
about six hours, killed her. Then he
destroyed the one egg which she had
laid, and continued housekeeping
with wife number two, as If nothing
had happened"
The tragical story leads our CORE
spondent to ask several questions:
Have birds language, by means of
which they communicate one with an
other? II so, did the woodpecker
give his wife time to explain her alb
sence before rendering judgment and
proceeding to execution?
Was not Mrs. Woodpecker at
great disadvantage for waht of a vo-
cabulary with which to describe the
nnheard of experience Of captivity?
Is it possible that she was punished
for criminal carelessness in permit
ting herself to be captured?-Youth's
COmnanion.

THE Oshkosh Northwestern bewails
to the extent Of three-fourths OF a
column the fatality Of the name OF
Oshkosh. the whitening, blighting in
fluence of that name, and the disad-
vantage under which the unfortunate
city bearing it labors in the race with
other places more happily christened.
Yet it suggests no way out Of the
trouble. 1t utters its little wall and
then bows with humility TO the dis
pensation and ventures the hope that
Oshkosh will continue to be as pros
porous and happy with its present
name as if it had some other" This
is more touching than the lamenta-
ton that precedes it and calls for the
earnest sympathy of Kalamazoo.

The Dog and the Churn.

-Churn-dog" stories are always In
order. A city man who used to live
on a farm, as so many city men did
when they were boys, sends us this:
AT home on the farm we had a
number of cows, so many that churn-
ing was too heavy task for even the
men folks, so Mr.. L. rugged up dog
churn, an inclined wheel, sort Of
canine treadmill. 1t became the duty
of Ponto, a large white mastitf, TO
tread that monotonous cycle, and not
withstanding the toothsome bit Of
meat that was fastened on a lath
within four inches of his nose, he was
not at all proud of his position and
responsibility. He made several at
tempts to shirk his task, and twice
succeeded. He got to know when
churning day came around as well as
any one in the house.
"On the morning Of that day,he
would loiter about the kitchen door
until he was fed, and as soon as he
heard the note Of preparation-the
bringing Of the cream jugs, preparing
the churn, etc.-he would put for the
woods and would not be seen again
until night. The day Of churning
was changed, and next morning a
more crestfallen and astonished dog
never was seen when he was collared
and harnessed to the beam which set
the dash in motion; he looked posi-
lively foolish. He did his work, but
with lowered head, and evidently in
cogitation.
"On another occasion he tried an
ouher Dodge. When They were about
TO put him on the wheel he ran up 70
his mistress, holding up one paw,
affecting to be lame. She thought
much of the dog, and was inclined to
let him off that day. The next in
slant he was seen charging over a
high fence after a neighbours cat.
We'll, said the old lady, If he can
go after cat like that he is able to
churn.' And he did, and never tried
to shirk his work again. Forest
and Stream.

American Art.

Vice President Frank Millet, Of tho
National Academy, has an article on
the outlook for Art in America"
in the Century, from which we quote:
"Within the past few years also there
has arisen here a coterie Of picture
buyers who make point Of purchas-
ing none but works by American ar
lists, thus stimulating home produc-
ton, softening the harshness OF for
eign competition, and gathering to-
gether, as is amply proven by occa-
sional exhibitions, most Interesting
and choice collections Of contempor-
airy art which are revelations even to
the most hopeful and enthusiastic
friends or our artists. In various in
situations there have been established
funds for the purchase Of works OF art
for permanent public exhibition. The
library building Of the city Of Pitts
burg, given to the city by Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie, has, with equally unparal-
leled generosity, been endowed by him
with fund the annual income ofwhich
fifty thousand dollars-is to be ex-
pended in the purchase of works Of
art for the permanent collection, and
at least ninety per cent. Of this sum
is, by the terms Of the endowment, to
be spent for the productions Of
American artists. The extent of
this gift is scarcely to be realized at
first sight. What museum of art
will in few years be built up by this
fifty Thousand per annum in perpetuo!
The income from the fund of the
Chantrey bequest in England for the
purchase Of modern pictures is but
twenty thousand dollars year, and,
so far as is known, was, up to the
date of Mr.. Carnegie's endowment,
the largest sum in the hands of any
institution for such purpose. What
stimulus to production this fund in
Pittsburg will become and what a
power in the hands Of the committee
to urge our artists to turn from the
tentative to the genuine accomplish
ment! The prospect is as encourage
Ing as 1t is novel, and as bewildering
| in its possibilities as it is encouraging,
for the Carnegie fund is doubtless
the precursor of other similar endOw-
ments in different cities, and almost
before we are aware of it we shall find
this new factor one of the most i'm
portant ones in our artistic develop
ment."

THE Kansas City Journal is looking
a long way ahead of present condi-
tions, though according to its own
fitxaesd Beyond ar hope Of Change in the
near future. 1t says, kansas City is
beyond doubt going to be the big
wheat market Of the West, and all
the railroad combinations in the
world cannot prevent it," Yet in the
next breath it tells its readers that
so long as the present system prevails
it will be impossible to determine the
value of bushel of wheat here, and
this fact will greatly interfere with
trading" And this, though the same
article admits that "the joint grain
agency of the railroads centering in
Kansas City has been in operation for
several weeks. 1t has given rise to
no complaint, and proved as satisfac-
tory to both grainmen and railroads
as . mere makeshift can" 1t looks
very much as If the article in ques-
tion was joint-stock production,
written by two individuals who fol-
lowed the advice given by Denis
Kearney to the Californians, SPOOL
your issues" If not incubated in
that way it may have been produced
under some such influence as that
which controlled the man who once
wrote an article about "The Elbows of
the Mincio."

In nearly every case where the
funds he'd In flSdciary capacity
have disappeared the method OF easy
plumber has been due to two causes:
First, the absence OF supervision, leay-
ing bank officers without external
check when exposed to the temptation
of cupidlty or dishonesty; and, second,
the disposition of the officials to use
the funds intrusted to their charge in
speculative enterprises generally akin
to pure gambling. Back Of all this,
of course, is the prevalent social
theory that it is the duty Of every
man to get rich without much regard
to the means by which he does so.
