The constitutionality of the South
Carolina liquor law is about to be
sustained, and henceforth the State
will be the sole liquor seller there.
Such laws, while new in America, are
common in Europe, and date back to
the Roman Empire. In Italy and
France today salt and tobacco are
Government monopolies. In those
countries, however, money, not morals
is the cause of the Vicksburg

The Copiah Signal, edited by our
talented young friend, Forest Runnells,
we regret to learn, has been forced to
suspend. The Office was attached last
Saturday by numerous creditors. This
leaves the hub of Copiah, as the la

call it, without paper.

Some one stuck a lighted match in
the bung-hole of a whisky barrel at

the lighted match of an aroused moral
conviction under the whole internal

tanned in the correspondents letter from
Custom. Thanks awfully." We are
not bit jsalous and perfectly willing to
share part of the praise with our neigh
bors. We do not profess to be poet by
any means, or would we attempt such a
thing as trying to reach the high stand
ard you have attained in poetry, it is so
far beyond our reach that it reminds us
of little child trying to reach plate of
"rosy checked apples" that have been
placed far beyond the length OF its little
arm and fat, dimpled hand. Unlike the
child, we will not try to possess what we
could never reach. And by slow degrees
the sad reality steals over us, and that is,
if our neighbor still wants part of the
praise that was being bestowed upon us,
we know that with few more attempts
we will have to yield up to him the en-
tire part. We are neither jealous or en-
vious, nevertheless it would be very hui
initiating to give up something that had
been bestowed upon us without the least
exertion on our part to possess it. But
the temptation is too great at times to re-
sist 'pencil and paper" and before we
are aware OF the fact we have committed
ourselves to poetry. On cold wintry days
when we had nothing else to do we ad-
NIT our pieces were rather lengthy, now
with the return of Spring, when every
one is busy and scarcely have time to
read even political" news which is dear
to every heart, we will try and govern
ourselves to write shorter pieces, think
ing they will be more appreciated. So

highest alertness. Increased wealth ex-
empts them in large degree from the old
necessity from work. Even in the alb
sence of wealth changed industrial con-
ditions have made it cheaper to buy the
things woman once made than to carry
on domestic manufactures.
The result is, that women of the edu-
Gated class are to-day largely women with
out adequate employment for their high
ly trained faculties, without occupation
of an absorbing character for their awak-
ened and alert minds.
In this condition contentment is we'll
nigh impossible 10 human beings. The
mind that is cultivated demands active,
strenuous, and worthy work. The intel
ligence and character OF our women fit
them for serious and earnest activities,
and, so long as circumstances deny such
activities to them, restlessness, discon-
tent, and nervous prostration must con-
tinue to be characteristic of sex held in
subsection to unfit conditions.
The question is not, What are we going
to do about it? but, What are women 60
ing to do about it? Will they in future
generations insist upon bearing their full
part in the outer activities of life? Will
they enter upon the conduct of business
for themselves, making it the rule rather
than the exception that women, like
men, shall have definite interests and oc-
equations, finding the real employment
OF their time in the outer world and max
ing of home, as men do, retreat for rest
merely?
The strongly felt need of our educated
womankind for earnest employment
tends Enthusiastically to development in
that direction. But in that event what
is to be done with the children? Are
they TO be made public care, as in the
old Greek commonwealth Are they to
be nurtured by system and for hardihood,
without the education of tender sympa-
thy and loving partiality OF protection
Is softness of sentiment to be eliminated
from their natures in the process OF edu-
cation? Are we to breed race OF men
without tenderness and women without
a yearning to coddle and comfort their
own little ones?
After all, is it safe to consider the ques-
ton of happiness as the sole guide in de-
termining what conditions women shall
seek for their lives2 What is the opin-
ion OF women themselves on the sub
ject ? ). That at last will determine the
matter.

The Future of Women.

When women were brought up to be
the pets and playthings OF men they we're
educated to be happy in the place assign
ed them, says the New York World.
Their hands were trained to dizziness in
embroidery and music, and their minds
were left in a condition OF quiescent con-
tent with their status. II they learned
to read, the literature given them was Of
romance and entertainment solely. The
higher learning was withheld, and con-
versation in their presence never took
the form OF discussion touching the SER
ious problems OF life. They were treated
with sort OF Difference, but ii was def
erance TO their charming incapacity, and
not at all to their accomplishments OF in
tellects.
Doubtless they enjoyed the sort of wor-
ship they received, and were content with
their position of carefully nurtured ex-
emption from serious care.
When the women whose strong help
contributed to the conquest OF this conti-
nent and the founding of this nation
we're required to manage homes which
were In truth factories their minds were
fully occupied and their lives satisfactory.
They washed the wool, carded and spun
it, wove 1t into cloth, made the clothing
OF the family, preserved the fruits Of the
summer for winter use, brought up large
broods Of children, cared for the sick,
comforted the afflicted, did their house,
work, and often lent willing hands TO the
work OF the "men folks"
These women were doubtless happy.
They had no leisure for discomfort or idle
longings for the unattainable. Their ed
ucation was practical, and embraced moth
ing that looked TO an intellectual devel-
opment beyond the range Of their lives
and duties.

the average COW nothing is better than
mixture OF one part cornmeal, one part
oatmeal and two of wheat bran. OF this,
feed as much as after experimenting with
your COW you find gives best results in
milk and butter.
Each COW is law unto herself as to the
amount of food she can proftably con-
sumo. 1t takes more to produce a like
result with one than another. Upto the
extent of her capacity the greater the
amount consumed the greater the returns
at the pail and the churn; but when a
cow is fed beyond her capacity to con-
vert the food into milk and butter she is
fed at loss the extra food goes to make
fat.
A liberal allowance OF coarse fodder
should also be fed. Clover hay, corn fod-
der, ensilage-all are good. Roots are
valuable as food for milch cows. Car
rots are perhaps best, with sugar beets
next. Turnips and ruta-bagas will flavor
the butter.
Pure water should always be within
reach of the cows. No other domestic
animal requires so large a quantity, and
shrinkage OF the milk will follow il she
is deprived of it in abundance.
While Jerseys as breed are unsur-
passed as butter-makers, there is wide
range in their value in this respect. Each
COW should be tested and the best only
kept. In regard to testing, it is not al
ways that the COW showing the highest
test OF butter-iat is really the best cow.
Other things should be taken into con-
sideration-quantity of milk and length
of milk period during the year. These
should be considered before deciding, as
COW showing a medium amount OF but
ter-fat may make up in quantity of milk
during the year what single test of her
milk may lack.
Not all of us can have cows making a
thousand pounds of butter in year; but
any one owning single Jersey COW may,
with judicious breeding and careful feed
ing. combined with the kind treatment
and care which all animals should have,
in a few years possess a herd OF cattle
which will be a source OF profit as well as
pleasure.

CARE AND TREATMENT OF JER-
SEY CATTLE.
PRIZE ESSAY, BY MRS. ELLA LOCKWOOD.

Perhaps no breed OF cattle possesses in
greater degree susceptibility to treat
ment, kind or unkind, than the Jersey,
The peculiar nervous temperament 30 es-
sential in perfect dairy COW is one of
her strongest characteristics.
Look at the bright, intelligent face of a
true specimen of this breed, and note the
large fawn-like eyes, bright and glisten-
ing. Look at the thin, dilating nostrils,
with their orange lining, which seem to
scent danger like deer, and seeing,
know that this queen among cows de-
mands and well deserves the most care
full handling and kindest treatment to
bring out her good qualities and keep
them at their best.
No COW, from the scrub to the thor
oughbreed, can do her best unless under
circumstances conducive to quiet and
content; and although cows of more slug
gish temperament may bear ill-usage with
little apparent regard, it is not so with
the sensitive Jersey, and she soon depre-
ciates in value.
From calfhood she should have reason
to regard her master as her friend. No
blows or harsh words should teach her to
fear him; but she should expect and re-
ceive only caresses and kind words. I'M
der such treatment she will develop a
gentle, kind disposition.
She should be taught to lead by hal
ter, to stand quietly as for milking, and
tn bear handling OF the udder long before
she reaches maternity; so that she may
be quiet and easily handled, instead Of
being wild and manageable, as heifers
often are at that time. No breaking-in
will be necessary, and If it is desirable TO
dispose of her she will bring better
price than one that has never been
trained.
Do not make the mistake OF thinking
that when she drops her first calf is time
enough to begin feeding her; she should
have been fed from her birth with this in
view.
No supplemental food is better than
ground oats as help in developing the
heifer calf. As soon as she begins 10 eat
hay she should have little, night and
morning, fed dry. Begin with half a pint
OF feed, or even less, and gradually in
crease the quantity until bessie will take
pint at feeding. Keep her thrifty and
growing. A calf once stunted by insult
fciept or improper food will never make
SO good COW as she would otherwise
have been.
The grain ration should be increased
as the heller grows, and at the arrival Of
the milking period she should, after the
first few days, be given generous guam
tity Of such food as is best suited 10 assist
her in producing milk.
While there are various grain foods
recommended by dairymen as excellent
for milch COWS, for the general feeder and
