In our article, last week, we show
ed that the expenses of the liquor
traffic, in this county, must be about
thirteen thousand and five
hundred dollars, ($13, ,50O) per annum
and that to pay this it requires. a
sale of two hundred and seventy
thousand drinks. or enough to make
twenty seven thousand men drunk.
In that computation, we omitted
to estimate the profit Of the liquor
dealers. Since last week, we have
been trying to find some reliable
data, upon which to estimate these
profits without much success, but it
seems reasonable that men would
not so eagerly seek to. obtain licenses,
if their profits over and above expen,
ses, were not equal to their expenses.
This would require that the number
| of drinks should be doubled and
more men to drink.
1t must also be remembered, that
this great tax paid to the liquor
sellers, is not assessed equally upon
all the men of the county, for a. good
many escape it, by not drinking
The great burden falls upon the
drinkers, the ones least able to. pay
it. Can one compute how many
comforts this great tax would bring
to hundred of families, if it was ex-
pended for things needed, in making
happy homes.
Begin with small things let not
a day pass without trying to tighten
the burden of some poor struggling
brother. Show the world by little
acts of kindness that the life we are
living is making us better men and
women. AS it takes many drops Of
water to make the ocean, so it takes
many acts to make life. Begin
with little things, and as you grow
in understanding and wisdom, great
er opportunities will present them
selves. Do not forget that there are
hundreds of poor starving souls
reaching out in search of light, and
do not be afraid or ashamed to give
what you have. Remember nature
will only supply as you are capable
of receiving, and you can not be in
position to receive until you begin
to use what you already possess.

I. Once more the returning spring
with it's opening flowers resur-
rects the memory of our fallen com
rades and reminds us Of the approach
of our sacred "Memorial Day." We
see them as they fell when more thep
a quarter ofa century ago the food
tide of death swept them from our
side; we see them scattered along
our march of the passing years, some
with the dews of death not yet wiped
away and the flowers still fresh
sprinkled with the tears of loved
ones. Those of us that remain are
but few in comparison with those who
sleep beneath the ground that shall
echo with our solemn tread. Soon we
must commit this sacred duty to
other hands; let us do it faithfully
while we can. 1t is timely and profit.
able we should once again repair
the graves Of our fallen comrades,
and let the memory of their heroic
deeds baptise us afresh with 10y
atty to their heroism and devotion to
their country.
Need I urge upon you that each
step and action on that day be so
fraught with regard for that occasion
and reverence for the departed com.
rades, that we shall command the re-
spcct and commentator Of every
citizen throughout the Nation.
Let us reverently ard tenderly
garland with Natures purest and
most fragrant gift each mound where
sleeps our comrade, and effection-
ately think of the unknown aud un-
marked graves of our. patriot broth
ers, remembering that in this solemn
mission we have the prayers of the
widow and, the blessing Of a
grateful Republic.

no SCANDALS TO EXPLAIN

A Democratic House Of Represen-
tatlves, with an overwhelming Ma
iority, has been in session for five
months aal half, but so far has
been unable to furnish an ounce Of
ammunition to the Democratic Presi.
Dental campaign magazine. There
have been committees Investigating
the departments and every lead look
ing anything like scandal has been
persistently followed. But nothing
has been discovered, and the only re-
suit has been to lead the nosing COM
mittee or the too ambitious individ
ual against a stone wall. Not a
woodchuck has been found although
the Democratic party is out of meat
and a Presidential campaign is at
hand.
This is as encouraging situation
to Republicans as it is discouraging
to Democrats. II strelghthens the
former in just the same degree that
it weakens the latter. 1t compcls
the Republicans to defend no acts
and excuse no scandals, and leaves
them free to direct all their enc rgies
agairst the Democratic position.
The Republican party WIS never so
we'll situated in this respect as it is
now, No Administration has pre-
sented itself with so clean record
as this one has. The war of the re-
befhon, the question of obstruction.
the defense Of sound currency, for
a long time prevented the Republi-
cans from showing the skill, econ
omy, and cleanliness WITH which
they could conduct the administra-
tion in times of peace. when econ
omic questions are first in interest
The present Administration has Civ

ton of wi at the party is able to do

When Mr. Cleveland was up for
reelection he had to face the worst
scandals that have disgraced any adj

The ChiItern Hundreds.

The forced designations Of several men,
bers of Parliament recalls curious method
of procedure in such cases. A member OF
Parliament is not permitted to resign in
the ordinary way. To do so he must hold
an Office or position of honor under the
crown. To overcome this difficulty an odd
scheme was fixed upon about $50 years ago.
In early times the Chiltern Hills, in Buck
inghamshire, were infested by robbers. To
protect the inhabitants an officer was ap-
pointed, who was known as the Steward of
the Chiltern Hundreds. The necessity for
such an Office has long ago ceased to exist,
but retiring members of Parliament have
found q use for it. Forbidden to resign
without holding crown office, they apply
for the Chiltern Hundreds, which is no
sooner obtained when it is in turn resigned,
leaving vacancy always existing for those
who desire to follow. If it should happen,
however, that the Hundreds are not vacant,
the stewardship of the manors of East Hem
dred, Nothshead and Hempholme are at the
disposal of the Commoners.
The legality of this method Of resigning
has been questioned, but never in such q
manner as to prevent member from tax
ing advantage of this privilege if he de-
sired. There is one instance of its having
been refused. The Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer has the granting of the gift. As
the result of several bribery cases in 1912,
certain members applied for the Chiltern
Hundreds, but were refused on the ground
that by so doing the Chancellor would make
himself party to the corrupt proceedings.

HOW AN AUSTRALIAN CLIMBS TREES.
The Usual Way Is to Cut NOtches Into the
Bark or the Tree Itself.

The Usual Way Is to Cut Notches Into the
Bark or the Tree Itself.
San Francisco ChrOnicle.J
A black never uses his knees when climb
ing. Ifths tree is small in girth they some-
times use vine, passing it around the tree
and holding on to it as they ascend. The
most common way however, is to ascend by
means Of nutches cut into the tree or bark
ABOUT one and half inches deep and about
three feet apart. Having fixed upon the
side he intends ascending, the climber cuts
notch with his stone tomahawk about
the height of his waist and another on Q
level with his head, but a little to the
right or left of the lower notch, as the case
may be. These notches are made by a lew
taps of the hatchet, first horizontally and
then down at an angle of 45 degrees; having
made the two lower ones the ascent is made
by standing on the ball of the foot with the
great toe in the notch, while the climber
cuts fresh notch level with his head, aud
so on until the lower branches are gained
Often the gum trees run 80 feet from the
ground up to the lowest limb, the trunk Of
the tree being perfectly smooth. These
notches are cut with great regularity, for,
measured on a fallen tree, the distance be-
tween them seldom varies half an inch. In
reascending a tree fresh cuts are made for
every fresh ascent.

THE HEEAD OF LIFE.
The Significance OF the Lords Birth and
the Regeneration of Man.

The Significance of the Lords Birth and
the Regeneration of Man.
Rev. John Whitehead preached yester-
day morning at the New Jerusalem Church,
Allegheny, on the Specification of the Lord s
birth in Bethlehem in its relation to the re-
generation of man. He said Bethlehem in
the Hebrew language means the house of
bread, and natural bread which nourishes
the body is named in the Word to represent
that which sustains the soul. The Lord is
called the bread of life, the living bread
which comes down from heaven, and He
feeds mans soul by instruction in the divine
truth of the Word. The truth teaches how
one should live, and as he lives according
to the truth he receives genuine good Of
life. Spiritual good or spiritual life is OBJ
tanned only by lite in obedience to the di-
vine teachings. This is what receives the
lord in the mind. This is the spiritual
Bethlehem in which the acknowledgment
and love of the Lord and the love of the
neighbor is received, for no man really
loves the Lord and the neighbor unless he
lives life of obedience to the Divine Pre-
cepts. The Lord says, "If We love Me
keep My commandments" So this living
bread comes down from heaven into man s
life when he in thought and life lives strict
ly according to the teaching of the Lord,
stunning evils as sins.

ORIGIN OF THE CYcLoNEs

Recent Developments Show That They
Originate in the Upper Regions.
There has been of late tendency toward
a change of view in regard to the origin of
those widespread storms known as cyclones
NJ. Fave, the Freach astronomer, has long
argued that they originate in the upper re-
gions of the atmosphere, Instead of at the
surface of the earth.
Recently Mr.. W. l.. Dallas has announced,
as the result OF his studies of the cyclones of
the Indian Ocean, that the probability
seems to him to be that those whirling
storms descend from and retreat to the
superior layers of the atmosphere"
Much more study will be required, how
ever, to settle the question, but it is surely
most interesting to think that storms should
come to us in the way suggested. The at
mosphere is sort of ocean. at whose bot
tom we dwell, and if NJ. Faye's view is cor
rect, the storms that whirI over us must
first lash the air far above our heads, just as
q whirl started in water may bore its way
down toward the bottom, and disturb the
little fishes there.

An Important Convention TO Be Held at
Philadelphia Next February.
The League of American Wheelmen will
hold a constitutional convention at Phila-
delphia on February 20, when some ma
terial change will be made in the constitu-
tion and rules of the league. Outside of
the election of new officers, the amateur
question will be taken up, and admission of
colored members to the league also dis
cussed. The Racing Board, it is under
stood, will propose the adoption OF two
classes of riders, an amateur and semi-pro-
fessional class. They anticipate by this
move to keep men against whom they have
any proof of semi-professionalism from
competing in the amateur class
The National Cyclist Union of England
are contemplating adopting like measures
in regard to their amateur definition. Both
the L. A W. and the National Cyclist
Union realize that to approve of cash prizes
will injure cycling, and in consequence are
practically compelled to recognize semi
professional classes.
The wheelmen OF the South intend max
ing determined fight at the coming con-
vention of the L. A. W. against the admis-
sion of colored riders. The Northern divi-
sions are less conservative. They contend
that in an organization like the L. A. W.
no restrictions should be placed upon the
membership. The attempt to keep colored
men out of the League is likely to occasion
considerable trouble.
The L. A. W. officials have already be-
gun work upon the international race meet
to be held at Chicago next August. The
selection of n. E Raymond, the chairman
of the L. A. w. Racing Board, as Presi-
dent of the International Cyclists Union
places almost the entire management of the
races in the hands of the L. A. w. The
American racing men will have their first
opportunity in many years to encounter
bona-fde champions from all countries
The L. A. w. will likely have official
timers next season. The n. G. o., of Eng
land, have had official timers for some
years, and no question has ever been raised
about the legality of their records. They
are now discussing the advisability ofshav-
ing official judges to oficiate at their meet
ing next year.
