make the middle-Rged men so young that
they would not know themselves. Writers

A II 10, the average middle-agsd Eng

have vanished with his youth, and he has
nothing now left TO live for but his rsspec-

pUNISHNRNT OR CURE,

How shall the law deal with drunkards,
is a question which has long puzzled law
makers, philanthrophists and others inter
ested In the human race. Drunkenness is
perhaps no more criminal than gluttony,
although 1t Ia less respectable and more
conspicuous. But for q long time drunk
ards have been punished for being public
ly and disgsacefully drunk, and occasion
ally man or woman in whom drunken
neas has become q habit is stamped as a
common drunkard and punished accord
ingly. There is. perhaps, come injus-
tice in the performance, and per
haps quite as much harm as good re-
been felt, but there has apparently been
no better course to pursue. But since 1t
has seemed to be discovered that drunk
ards can be cured, the idea has grown that
IL is better for the State to try to cure
them than to continue to punish them. In
Michigan law has, we believe, Just been
passed which provides for the curing of
drunkards, and very interesting and i'm
portsnt action in this direction has been
taken ia England, where q committee has
reported a much more drastic method of
dealing with drunkards than British law
now permits. This committee was sp-
pointed under the Salisbury government,
and has among its members several
eminent physicians, and the superintend-
ent of the Brosdmoor criminal lunstic
T.la tn thar
were established some retreats or reforms-
tories for the treatment aud cure of drunk
ards who chose to 60 to them voluntarily.
This committee find that a considerable
portion of the drunksrds who enter these
reformstories are cured, and that more
would be If they would remain longer;
therefore, they recommended that psrlis-
ment give magistrates the power to eend
these dipaomsniscs to these retreats for
period not exceeding two yesrs This COM
mitment may be made on petition of the
relatives of the inebriste, or az the discre-
ton of the magistrate, and 1t subjects the
drunkard to q rigorous discipline and close
confinement IL necessary. drunksrd may
still be admitted to these retreats on his
own petition, bat once in he must stay there
until discharged as cured. He may select
his own retreat, whether sentenced or vol
unfairly going there, and such property as
he has would be liable for his and his fam
ily's maintenance during his confinement.
The poorer GLASS are to be provided for ont
of the public treasury or In public ssylums.
| The semi criminal class of habitusl drunk
ards, with whom the police have to deal,
are to be subject to an indeterminate SEN
tence, which shall not be less than year,
upon their third conviction for drunken
ness within twelve months, or on being
proved guilty of ill-treatment or neglect
of their families.
Perhaps by and by all crimes will be re-
gsrded as diseases, and their microbes be
scientifically attacked. And when the
devil In all his forms Ia cast out of the u
man race by means of proper medicine and
discipline what fue world this will be.
Every prospect will please and man will nc
longer be vile.

WILL 1T PAF3
VIII the big show at Chicago payi That
is, will 1t pay in money! The indications
now are that 1t will not, but 1t Is not safe to
say that these indications will be found re-
liable when the accounts come to be made
up. When the Centennial exposition began
the opening month was decidedly discoursg
ing, but in the end there was money to
spare. But that expedition did not cost
anywhere near what the Chicago fair has
cost. On the other hand the Chicago fair
Is better and bigger show than the Phila-
delphia one was. and there are many more
people In the country now than In 1875.
the month of May was nearly /, ,6o0, 900.
The average was over 81, 900 day. This
included the opening day, one Sunday
when the attendance was comparatively
small on account of the uncertainty as to
whether the gates would be open and Deoors-
ton day, which showed larger attendance,
nearly 162, 900, than any other day. This
attendance for the first month Is greater
than that of any other worlds exposition
in Its first month, and is well up toward
the highest attendance in any month of
similar enterprises except the Paris ex-
position. 1t must be recollectsd also that
May was a month of unreasonable rains
and cold weather. And everybody un-
derstood that the show was not In q
very complete state. This month will
probably be more encouraging. June is
as good a month for travel as we have.
The summer school vacation in all PARTS of
the country will begin this month. South
ern and eastern people visiting the west
ern resorts will arrange for q week or two
at Chicago on their way. All who are 60
Ing and coming, on all the lines of travel
between the east and the west, on all the
errands of necessity, of business or of
will "take In the fair" at this
half f-way house of the continent before
to their various destinations.
There is therefore no good reason yet to
despair of the financial success Of the fair.
With good weather and everything finished
and in good working order the attendance
will greatly increase, and there may Be 9

A new enterprise of some account La ap-

damage suits. Three years ago the officers
of one of the trunk lines asked q firm of
lawyers what sum they would take to de-
fend the road in all suits arising from
death, accident, and destruction of prop
erty, and pay the damage in case of loss.
The lawyers named figure, and have since
relieved the officers of sn anxiety and, vir-
tuslly, of responsibility. Their undertAk-
ing, like insurance, is somewhat speculs.
tive, but they have killed so many suits In
the courts and have compromised on such
advantageous terms In other cases that they
have made q large profit. Other roads
have followed suit within year or 90, and
now several firms of lawyers are devoting
themselves to this work. A road that
hardly includes 800 miles Of track is under

Although many flowers owe their names
to famous people, there is only one instance
known when q man and q flower received
. title at the moment. When Mel, . brave
French general, Was returning from the
scene Of his victories In the war between
France and Austria he received from o
peasant, who wished to honor the hero, q
basket of beautiful, pale yellow roses. One
of the stems, which happened to have
roots clingiDg to 1t, the general took to q
florist In Paris, in whose care IL remained
until 1t became a thriving bush covered
with blossoms. Mel then took the plant
as gift to the Empress Eugenie. She
expressed great admiration for the eIqai-
site flowers, and, on learning the rose was
nameless, said significantly: Then will
name 1t. 1t shall be the Marechal Mel, 3"
and at the same moment shs bestowed
upon the astonished general the ieweled
baton that betokened his promotion to the
high ONCE of the marshal Of France.
The southern press Is very properly
giving It's countensnce to tine project of
stimulating the consumption of rice in this
country. 1t is fact of common observa-
ton that this nutritive article of food Is
little used except in the coastwise bsli of
the South. The reason for this, It's sI-
planned, lies In the general ignorance Of
methods of preparing rics for the table.
Even the plain boiling of ii is spoiled by
the average cook. A fund has been RAISED
by the Louisiana planters to advertise their
staple at the Worlds fair. 1t is proposed
to distribute qusrter-pOund packages to
visitors. Each package will contain recipes
detailing some of the dishes that can be
cooked with rice as the basic. There will
also be described the mode of rice culture.
1t is expected that by the time the fair lie
over Louisiana rice will be In demand all
over the United States. A New Orleans
newspaper thinks that a free.ric kitchen,
where the actual results of capable cookery
were shown, would do more good than the
distribution of upcooked samples.

FASHION NOTES.
The stylish sidewise Spread.

The many changes of fashion are all
dictated by two grea. principles, expsn-
sion and contraction. Perpendicular ef-
fects go with contraction and horizontal
with expansion. We are having the latter
just now. These fashions are pleasing in
all time that follow one OF the other of the
rules with some exsctnees. 10 is only
when we drop into ths bnlbous effect that
things are really u2ly. The fashion that
with close drawn skirts dictated the hustle
wac, and always will be, remembered as
hideous. But there was q harmony about
