PROHIBITION is A FAILURE.
Maine Temperance Laws Denounced in
Strong Language.


PORTLAND, Me-, July 24.-At the an
nual meeting of the Maine Pharms-
ceutical Association, yesterday, Presi-
dent C. X. Partridge, in his annual adj
dress, vigorously attacked the prohibi-
ton laws of the state. He said in part
that tor many years, owing to the
so-called temperance laws of Maine,
the apothecary who would fulfill
his duties toward the medical pro-
fession, the invalid and the public,
has found himself confronted with the
statutes of prohibition. If alcoholic
stimulants are prescribed and he fills
such prescriptions his legal place Of
residence is the Jail. and in addition
thereto his pocketbook should be le-
gally multced of handsome sum.
Prohibition" he said, after nearly
half a century's trial in Maine, has
proved moral, political, demi-relig-
ious fraud"

General Barringer has corrected the
errors and shown just where the chief
honor belongs. An interesting work
could be prepared upon the exposure and
refutation of Virginia accounts of various
battles in the war. Injustice has marked
the course Of many writers towards the
North Carolina troops from almost the
beginning of the fighting. The errors
grew rapidly during the fighting around
Richmond and are still perpetuated. An
hundred years hence Virginians will pro-
badly read the several accounts of Gettys-
burg by the Virginia authors of this cen
fury, and believe in their verify as they
are believed now. They will never "hear
the other SIDE" and will never, therefore,
know the truth.
General Long did injustice to North
Carolina in his very charming and valu-
able life of the incompatible Lee. We
wrote to him concerning some of the
Sights, and he promised to make correc-
tons in a second edition. But he has

The Female BOgtrOtter.

We are becoming a little surfeited
with these wild women as g~lobetrotters
and travellers. Their adventures, which
for the most part are fctions based on a
very small substratum of fact, have
ceased to impress, partly because we
have ceased to believe, and certainly
ceased to respect. Who wanted them to
run all these risks, supposing them to be
true? What good have they done by
their days of starvation and nights Of
sleeplessness? their perils by land and
sea? their chances of being devoured by
wild beasts or stuck up by bushrangers?
taken by brigands or insulted by row.

EDUCATIONAL WORK.

RUSk has some very eAS0L-
lent views as to the importance OF atuller
use of the various educational forces
which already exist in the country for
the advancement of practical agriculture.
In his annual report he expresses the
conviction that there should be a closer
co operation between such forces. There
is too slight a thread connecting the de-
! partment OF agriculture with the agrlcui-
tural departments and stations, them
selves the recipients Of the national
bounty to the extent Of considerably over
81. 800, 900 annually, and he thinks it de-
| si1able that without in any way limiting
the independent action Of these several
| state institutions the connection should
be greatly strengthened. lie would have
this cooperation extend, also, to boards
representing in a special manner the agrl-
cultural interests of the state, and TO state
and national societies devoted to the i'm
prOyement of stock, to the interests of
horticulture, dairying and other special
ties in the line of practical agriculture,
together with the institutes established
and endowed by law in several states.
SECRETARY RUsK promises that the
efforts Of the department Of agriculture
will be directed to an extension Of some
system of co operation between these
various forces by which each in its
proper sphere may work to the best adj
vantage, and each be enabled to derive
practical aid and benefit from the others.
1t need hardly be said that in this laud-
able effort the secretary Of agriculture
ought to receive the Jealous support and
assistance of all persons, associations
and institutions engaged or interested in
promoting higher attainment in all
branches of agricultural industry. 1t is
obviously through such co operation that
the department of agriculture can be
made most useful to the interest for the
advancement and improvement Of which
it was created, while at the same time
the interchange Of practical knowledge
between the various associations and in
situations, and the more intimate rela-
tions they will be brought into, could
not fail to be very greatly beneficial to
them. SECRETARY RUsK, in common
with all earnest and intelligent students
Of the subject, believes that there is a
bOundless field for educational work in
connection with agriculture, and he
realizes also that the time is at hand in
this country for pushing such work
more seriously and earnestly than has
yet been done. American farmers as a
whole have yet a great deal to learn as to
the most practical, the most economical
and the most profitable ways of carrying
on their industry, and every year in
Creases the necessity fOrsuch knowledge.
The want of it is not the least Of the req-
sons for failure in agricultural pursuits.
The suggestion of closer cooperation
between the various and numerous edu-
tional forces at work for the advance
ment Of practical agriculture merits the
serious consideration of all who are en-
gagged in such work, and it is to be hoped
that efforts Of the department to bring
about such cooperation will not lack en-
enlargement and support from those
whom it most concerns.

One Way of Giving Satisfaction.

Incledon, the once famous singer.
never fought q duel, and he never in
tended to fight one. On occasion
some remarks of his gave offense to a
man with whom the singer happened to
fall in company, and the offended gen
tleman resolved to have satisfaction for
his wrongs. Accordingly he hunted up
Incledon the next afternoon, finding him
at dinner in a noted hotel. "Mr. Incle-
dOn," said the waiter, "a gentleman
wishes to see you, sir" "Show him up,
them" said the singer. Sir" said the
visitor, entering the room in a towering
passion, you have been making free
with my name in a very improper man
ner, and I've come to demand satisfac-
tom" After some parleying Incledon
rose, and, striking a graceful attitude in
the center Of the room, began to sing
"Black Eyed Susan" in his most delight
full style. When he had finished the
song he said coolly, "There, sir, that
has given complete satisfaction to sew
eral thousand people, and if you want
anything more, I've only to say you're
the most unreasonable fellow I ever
met!"-San Francisco Argonaut.

How Niagara Was Formed.

Once upon a time there was a beauh-
full Indian maiden who was compelled
by her family to engage herself to marry
a bideous old man of her tribe. In her
desperation she leaped into a canoe and
pushed it over the roaring breakers OF
Niagara, preferring the angry waters to
the arms Of her detested lover. But the
god of thunder, cloud and rain, who
watches over the harvest, dwelt in a
cave behind the roaring cataract. He
caught her just as her frail bark was
dashing upon the rocks below and gave
her a home for many weeks in his w
mysterious cavern.
From him she learned many new
things, among them why her people
died so often. He told her how an
enormous snake lay coiled up under the
ground beneath her village, and how he
crept out and poisoned the springs, be-
cause he 9aved the flesh of human be-
ings and could never get enough of it SO
long as they died from natural causes.
The maiden remained in the cave until
her ugly old sutton Was dead; then she
returned, and the god killed the serpent
with a thunderbolt.
The great dead snake was so huge that
when the people laid its body out in
death it stretched over more than
twenty arrow flights. and as it hoated
down the waters of the Niagara it was
as if a mountain appeared above them.
Its corpse was too large to pass the
rocks, so it became wedged in between
them and the waters rose over it, thus
f~ashioning the horseshoe, which remains
to this day.-Washington Star.
