Memories of Other Days.

Ii we were to ask about the light of
other days we should find that before the
use of burning fluid, kerosene or electric
lights the good matrons managed to light
up their homes with tallow dips, or
candles, FUN in tin moulds. Sometimes
pitch pine splits served the place Of can
dies, and some of the old ladies now liv-
ing can remember when in the absence of
all other means, they drew a piece of
wicking through the eye of a large button
and put it into the melted fat OF tallow in
a saucer and called the thing a Slut, but it
gave a brilliant light
Before the days of friction matches
special care had to be taken to keep the
fire, and if the hard wood brand carefully
buried at night failed to be alive in the
morning, then one Of the boys must start
out to borrow fire Of a neighbor or the
flint. steel and finder box was resorted
to. and sometimes when all other means
failed the old gun with heavy tow wad-
ding supplied the lack.
But though times were hard and neigh
bors distant there was much more social
enjoyment than now Then neighbor
visited neighbor. Then the spare-rib or
turkey was hung up before the roaring
open tlre, and the suppers Of those days
are not to be forgotten. j. r.

cleveland and the Liquor Traffic.

The organs of the liquor trade naturally
rejoice over the election of Cleveland.
Bonfort' Wine and Spirit Circular, New
\ ork. says of the election that it '.was a
phenomenal endorsement OF a party that,
in its national character at any rate. mas
never feared to speak Tor personal liberty
and to dennunce all sumptuary legisla-
ton. On the other hand it finds MANY
of the Republican leaders sopen in their
denunciation, of the wine ana spirit bust
ness. and adds:
To the Republican party we owe the
Prohibitory laws Of Maine, Vermont,
Iowa, Kansas, and the Dakotas. To the
Democratic party we owe the defeat of
Prohibition in Michigan, Texas. Tennes-
see, Oregon, Pennsylvania. Massachusetts
and Rhode Island. In Grover Cleveland
this country will have a President who is
not only opposed to Force Bills and Nc
kinley Bills, but to any attempts that ex-
tremists might make to compel the peo-
pie of this country to eat or drink accord
ing to formulas that few wise CIV men
might lay down. In a word, the verdict

These and kindred utterances prompt
the New York Voice, Prohibition. to say
of the liquor issue as it is at present:
We submit that the fight against the
crusade" but fight for the preservation
of popular government. Lincoln contend
ed that the Civil War was not a war against
slavery but war for the preservation of
the Union.' The Union might have been
divided and popular government have been
still maintained. This contest against the
saloon power, in that it is contest for
the preservation of popular government is
of greater Importance to America and to
the world than the war to preserve the
Mon could be. 1t is not a question con-
corning a man S right to drink a glass of

Germs the right of Il trade. originated for
political purposes, to override the laws of
the State, defy the Constitution. and de
throne the sovereignty of the people. The
utteranceS by the trade journals of the
liquor traffic are not mere ideal boasts.
Every man knows, or ought to know, that
they are Of a piece with the overt anarchy
that the traffic already displays in re-
gard to all statutory regulations. This de
claration of defiance OF the State Constit-
ution is also given additional force by the
attitude of the traffic in States where the
supposed Constitutional Amendment act
ually exists. 1t is about time for the peo-
pie OF America to pat stop to anarchy.
and the best place to begin the work is
with the open anarehism of the organized
liquor trade. The question each American
patriot ought to ask himself is whether
he is going to submit to it or fight it.

The Wanderings of a Shoe.

An old, badly worn shoe passed
through Madison, Wis, in the United
States mail the other day. An old shoe
with half Of the sole worn off and holes
in the uppers is a rather unusual thing
to find in the mail, but this had travelled
thousands of miles, and not one cent of
postage had been paid on it. There are
about 200 tags tied to the holes for the
lacings, and something like $50 of them
have the stamps Of different postofices,
together with inscriptions by different
postal clerks.
The shoe went to Madison from
Minneapolis, to Minneapolis from st.
Paul, to St. Paul from Seattle, to
Seattle from Portland, to Portland from
San Francisco, to San Francisco from
Honolulu, to Honolulu from San Fran
cisco. It is hard to trace its course be-
fore that, but it has the stamps of any
number of postofices on it, among
them being those at Oakland, Salt Lake
City, Denver, Omaha and any number
of cities in the east and some in the
south.
Where it has gone from Madison is
not positively known. The shoe was
started from Boston by one of the
postal clerks there-the first tag shows
that-and there is request that it be
returned there. AT st. Paul it was in
scribed: "Too small for a big city.
Pass it on to the village Then it was
sent to Minneapolis.

holding over for the two years. Now
the people are invited to settle it as be-
tween the two old candidates.
General Samuel e. Merwin, Of New
Haven, the Republican candidate, is
sixty-one years old and native OF
Brookfield. He is engaged in general
business to some extent, but his speciality
is pork packing, in which he has been
very successful. In 1883 he was elected
lieutenant governor, and his popularity
was shown by the fact that he ran far
ahead of his ticket, especially in his
own town of New Haven, where he re-
ceived some 1,100 more votes than Gov
ernor Bulkeley.
Judge Luzon B. Morris, Democratic
candidate, was born in Newtown in 1927
and was graduated from Yale in 1850. In
early life he worked on the farm and in
an edge tool factory, fitting himself for
college in the intervals of labor. He

Climate of the British Empire.

A summary of the climate of the Brit
ish empire for 1891 has been compiled
from reports prepared at sixteen selected
stations. The highest shade tempera-
ture 103 degs., in january was regis
tered at Melbourne, and the lowest (34 5
degs., in February at Winnipeg. The
extreme maximum in the sun (165 degs.) J
and the lowest mean humidity (57 per
cent? were recorded at Adelaide. To
Ceylon belonged the highest mean tenn
perature S0.7 degs.) and also the least
range in the year, there being only a
difference of 24.3 degs. between the
maximum of the hottest day and the
minimum of the coldest night. Malta
has, as rule, the smallest rainfall and
the least cloud, but last year Adelaide
had the smallest rainfall IA inches) and
Bombay the least cloud (3.6). The great
est rainfall Q19 inches) occurred at Co.

what TarIr reform Can Do.

Secretary Foster has returned from
his vacation. Before he entered upon
the speechmaking tour which is said to
have convinced Mr.. Harrison that he is
not discreet enough to be campaign
leader he directed Major Brock, of the
bureau of statistics of foreign trade, to
fix up document for campaign circula-
tion showing how the Mckinley bill has
stimulated things during the past year.

shows that we have netted clean $1O,-

Diamonds in Meteorites.

An interesting paper on diamond bear
Ing meteoriteS was read at the Washing
ton meeting of the American Association
Tor the Advancement of Science by Pro-
tessor A. &. Foote of Philadelphia. The
author describes the meteoric iron found
near Canyon Diablo, Ariz., fragments of
which contained diamonds.
Small meteoric fragments were scat
tered over an area about third of mile
In length and l20 feet wide, extending
northwest and southeast. Exactly par
allel with it, but about two miles from
the crater, were found two large masses.
one weighing l54 pounds and the other
pol pounds. Both were deeply pitted
and the larger one was perforated in
three places. The latter is now the
property of the Ec0Ie deS Mines, Paris.
Smaller masses were also found.
A fragment of q mass weighing forty
pounds was examined by Professor G. a.
koring, who found it to be extremely
hard day and a half being taken in
making a section, and several chisels
were broken in the operation. An emery
wheel was ruined in trying to polish it.
This led to closer inspection of certain
exposed cavities, when small black dia-
mOndS were found which cut polished
corundum as easily as knife separates
gypsum. These diamonds are mineralog-
ically OF great interest, their presence
in meteorites having been un-
known until the year 1887, when two
Russian mineralogists found traces. of
diamonds in meteOrite mixture of oil
vine and bronZite. By treating the
amorphous carbon in the cavities with
acid, small white diamond, one-fiftieth
inch in diameter, was found, as well as
troilite and daubreelite.

Christianity Versus Brahminism.

That Brahminism is apparently losing
ground IN the East Indies, whether OH
account of the famine prevailing in many
parts, or for the reason of the continu-
ance of the domination of the Christians
over the Hindoo Princess, it is difficulty
to say. The English say it is the schools
which they have established, and in which
the Christian missionaries are teaching
the Hindoos, as well as the influence of
many charitable and educational societies
in spreading the liberal ideas of Chris
tan England in India. During the wear

tries north of the Ganges were baptized.
