Pawtucket Whiskey.

The recent cases of poisoning in
Pawtucket have brought out the state
ment that poor whiskey is abundant
in that city. It is sold principally in
the kitchen dives and in places on the
outskirts. Some of the whiskey, it is
said, has been so poor that wholesale
dealers have disclaimed all knowledge
Of having sold it. Some Of the un-
licensed dealers have been selling the
whiskey, but where obtained is one Of
the mysteries that is impossible to ex-
plain. With the poisoning of the
three men on Sunday night, and the
Investigations which have. followed,
some light has been shed upon the
subject.
1t was stated in these columns on
Monday that there had been man
about Pawtucket selling recipe for
making whiskey. Investigation proves
that this is 80, but it is impossible to
find liquor dealer, who will say he
purchased it for S., the price asked.
This recipe, as near as can be ascer-
tanned, is as follows: One drachm Of
oil of vitriol or sulphuric acid, six
drachms Of spirits of turpentine, three
drachms of spirits of juniper, six
drachms of oil of almonds, and a
quart of elderberry wine, seductive
decoction, indeed.
These fluids diluted with "a gallons
of water will make about Is gallons of
whiskey, and costs in the neighborhood
of s1.25, while the same quantity OF
distilled whiskey would cost from $40
to SIS. Just how much of business
this man has conducted in Pawtucket
is not known, but that he has been
favored with fairly good trade is not
doubted by the regular wholesale
liquor dealers here. He has been all
through the villages in the Blackstone
Valley, and has also been to Fall
River. It is said he resides in Provi-
dence at the present time.-Froutdence

- The speed Of the fastest railway
train is only little more than one

= San!ander, prosperous port of
Spain, has had the monumental disas-
ter of the age. The explosion of 48O
kegs Of dynamite, that had been hid
den in the hold of vessel, sent one
hundred other ships to the bottom,
besides killing and mangling about
one thousand people, and setting fire
to tom. The dangerous explosive
was contraband and was concealed in
order that it might be smuggled.
"Why is it," asked an elderly
gentleman who has been all over the
world, "that young man will insist
upon having other people think he is
much older man than he really is,
and an old man makes himself silly by
trying to pose as young man These
are certainly two extremes, but if you
have had any experience at all, you
will recognize the fact that what | say
is true. The boys will simulate ma
turity and the old men will try to
appear young. Which is the most
laughable ?''-PAiladelphia Call.
"Time is money" is an old and
honored saying. Industry is money"
is better way to express it. Every
one has time at his command, yet has
nothing to sell that anyone wants,
consequently he can get neither money
nor the common comforts of life. The
boy who is equipped with health,
strength and honesty of purpose, if he
has been instructed as to their value,
is better prepared to engage in the
struggle for existence than he who
happened to have been born with
silver spoon in his mouth. Industry,
when properly directed, is always a
more reliable stock in trade than
money.

4 Business Mans Lesson.

He was an upright business man.
In his heart he believed the religion
of Christ to be true. But he was
very busy, and when Sunday came he
was thoroughly tired. He had become
interested, too, in his Sunday paper,
so he gradually dropped off going to
Church. His wife went regularly, and
sometimes the children. One morning,
just after his wife had set out, he was
comfortably seated reading the money
article, when he heard his boys talking
in the next room. Said eight year old
Willie: "When you grow up shall you
go to Church, as mother does, or stay
at home like father p II shall do
NEITHER" said the one decidedly.
"When I'm man I shall have my
horses, and be on the road Sundays,
and enjoy myself" !" The newspaper
suddenly lost its attraction. Between
the father and it there came picture
of his boys associating with loose
men, and drifting into goddess, reck-
less life, and of himself looking on it
in his old age as the fruit of his self
indulgence. Five minutes after he
was rapidly walking toward the Church.
When the service was over, his wife,
coming down the aisle, saw him wait
ing at the door. There was no ques-
tioning, glad surprise in her eyes, but
he only remarked that he had taken a
walk, and thought he would join her
on her way home. Next Sunday,
however, the whole family were in
their pew, and all the rest of the day
there was kind of peace about the
house that reminded him Of his boy
hood days in his fathers home. And
who will say that he was the less fitted
for another week Of business life by,
this share in the service of Gods
house, instead Of staying at home all
Sunday to rest. "-Sunday- School
Times.

His Wit.


1t was raw, gray morning as the
comfortable citizen, passing through
the park, saw tramp shivering on q
bench.
"Gimme nickel, won't tyou mister?"
pleaded the unfortunate.
"What for ?"
''To get bite to eat with.
"Nothing to drink?''
"No, sir.
"You wouldn't lie for a nickel, I
hope?"
"No, sir f; I've no place to lie but on
the cold ground, and you'd hardly ex-
pect I'd do that, would you, on such
a morning?''
This stroke of wit pleased the citi-
zen SO greatly that he gave the tramp
two nickels, one for food and one for
general expenses.

A Perplexing Case.

The courthouse Of a mall country
town in Illinois was filled 8ith curl
Gus throng gathered to witness the
proceedings of divorce case begun -by
young woman whose husband was
town-marshal of the place.
A string of legal lights supported
the suit on both sides, which gave ev-
idence of long and tedious fight.
: The Judge to whom the case had
been assigned was enjoying his first
term, and his conscientious face
showed that he would discharge the
duties of his Office with the greatest
care, but the town marshalls suit was
one of universal interest in the COM
munity, and the worn look around His
Honor s eyes revealed sleepless nights,
which he had spent pondering over
law books to hit upon decision that
would make lasting impression upon
the people, and to show them that he
was ably equipped with the necessary
knowledge and sense Of justice for the
Office to which he had been elected.
The complainant's side rested. The
defendant was then called to the stand,
and the opposing counsel began to rig
idly cross-e1amine him.
"Where were you married ?" he was
asked.
"Chicago," the defendant answered
bluntly.
"How long have you been married,
Mr.. Blank p
"About four weeks.
every WE'LL" said the lawyer.
CHOW, Mr.. Blank, wherepdid you go
after the ceremony p
"We came down and visited the
fair"
"Came down from where p
"From the air." he answered with
chuckle.
"How did you manage to get in the
air ?" the lawyer asked, surprised.
"Why, we were married 258 feet
above the earth"
"How did that happen p
"You see," he explained, II went
to Chicago to meet my wife, and We
both decided that it would be novel
and inexpensive wedding tour to take
a ride on the Ferris wheel and to i'm
prove on the idea, she afterwards sug-
gested that the ceremony be performed
on the trip. I, Of course, consented,
and minister came with us, and we
were married at the highest point in
the revolution of the wheel"
At this point the rustic maidens
looked longingly at one another in an
ticipation of such a glorious wedding
trip, while the judge, with long
breath, arose to give his first decis-
ion.
Gentlemen" he said, II find by
the testimony that this case is beyond
my jurisdiction, and l am wholly
without power to decide. In the evil
,dence it appears that the couple were
married 258 feet above the level of the
ground, and there is no authority vest
ed in me or this Office by which | am
given jurisdiction over events transpi-
ring in the air.
FT'he parties then," he continued,
as he threw his head back, with an air
Of great Importance, will have to ap-
pear at the court of the district in
which. the ceremony was performed, or
else remarry on solid and substantial
earth instead Of in mid-air, and try
their case over again. Detroit Free

To Start a Now England Kitchen.

1~esA
To start New England kitchen choose
3 location thickiy settled by wage earn
ers, those to whom ready cooked food
will prove relief from labor and to
whom cleanliness and savoriness will ap-
peal. Then secure vouchers from the
honest, respectable and reliable business
men of the place, from the dispensary,
policemen. clergy and parish priests.
Any new enterprise is looked upon with
suspicion. and our wage earners are SEN
sitive and quick to resent charity or
patronage. Helpers in the work should
be chosen from the neighborhood, and
only those should be taken who can learn
to be accurate and trustworthy.
The neighboring ,grocers, bakers and
tinsmiths should e enlisted in the work,
for they can DO much by their co-opera-
ton. The habits Of the people should be
closely studied and friendly, and neigh
borly relations should be established
with them. Moreover. hot and cold wa
ter, which is such an invaluable blessing
in tenement house, should be freely
distributed by those in charge of the
kitchen. Criticism Of the dishes sold
should also be welcomed, and sugges-
lions should be encouraged. Mrs. Ellen

THE OUTLOOK in BELGIUM.

Constitutional Provisions Which Are Clum.
sy and Must BE Changed Soon.
The struggle in Belgium for popular
government is far from being ended. The
legislative chambers have only revised as
yet one clause in the constitution~that
referring to the right of suffrage. How
much need there was for an extension OF
the electoral franchise will appear from
the following exhibit of the number OF
voters in proportion to population in the
United SITS 'es and 10 Of the parliamen.
tary states - Europe:
Frapce-One voter In every 800 of population.
Greece-One voter In every 456 of population.
United States Zone voter in about $50 Of pop.
ulation.
Germany-One voter in every 4.s7 Of popula.
ton.
Great Britain-one voter in every BIB of pop.
ulation.
Italy-One voter n every 1857 Of population
Holland-l0ne voter in evsry 1902 Of popula.

tiqn.
Sweden-one voter in every 1850 of popula-
ton.
Hungary nevoterin shout IS Of population,
EelgtunAO One voter in every 1920 Of popuia-

Some of the provisions respecting the
extension of the electoral franchise ap-
pear very strange to an American One
vote is to be given to every male Belgian
citizen who is 25 years old and has re.
sided IN a commune for one year. Bel
gian male citizens who are IS years old,
have family and pay property tax OF
at LEASH 81 are to have two votes. Such
of these persons as own land or govern.
ment stock realizing at least 800 year
are to have three votes. Four votes are
given to those who have taken univer.
sity'degree, but then, by provision in.
consistent with this, no one can cast
more. than three votes at any one cleo
ton. It is not very likely that such
complex provisions will continue very
long. Then, too, by another provision
voting is to be compulsory on the part
of those to whom the electoral franchise
has been given. We doubt whether this
provision will last very long, and if it
should it will be difficult to enforce it.
Other proposed provisions Seem very
grotesque. 1t is proposed that minori-
Z ties shall be represented, and also that
the senate shall be divided into groups,
respectively representing various inter-
ests, such as industry, science, art, etc.
When these subjects shall have been
disposed of, there will be general cleo
ton. And 1t requires no prophet to fore
tell that then there will begin fresh
agitation for universal suffrage. The
masses in Belgium win certainly not be
satisfied with such crumbs Of conces-
sions and such clumsy, complicated ar
rangements as the proposed new polit.
icai constitution will contain. Catholic
