A PROMISING PLAN.

How to lessen the evils connected with the sale and use of Intoxicating liquors is 8 problem which is deeply engaging the at tention of many people in many countries. Thres comm!s sioners appointed by Gov ernor Russell of Massachusetts think they have found the best plan there is in the Norwegian license system. This system provides for the formation of companies ip. cities and towns to have licenses for the sale of liquors, and provides that the profits above 5 per cent. on the capital in- vested shall be applied to the aid of ob jects of public benefit or utility, such as industrial education, coffee houees and reading rooms. parks, hospitals, public baths and sanitary Improvements.
 The commissioners make @ strong areu- ment for the system. They say that 1t does away with all incentive to encourage drinking, by taking the sale of intox,cants ont of the hands of those to whom intem perance Is . gain, and intrusting 1t to per sons pledged to carry 1t on without any profit to themselves, and in the interest Of temperance and morality. The direct re. sponsibility for the abuses connected with consumption of intoxicants is largely placed on the shoulders of the beet people in the community, who will be held to strict account. Drink selling will be divorced from politics, can no longer serve as an instrument of corruption, and one of the greatest obstacles to all social reform may thus be overcome. The mum: ber of licensed places can bs reduced to the lowest limits consistent with public safety and complete control, and tempta. ton to drink minimized. The oonsump- ton of liquor can be effsctually checked, ,ae competition Is destroyed; prices may be raised and every restrictive measure per. fsctly enforced. All the immoral acoeeso. ries of the saloon are abolished. Bette, policing of places where drink is sold ii made easy, and tho cooperation, not only of the general public, but especially of thu temperance reformers, is invited to secur, adequate control as well as the detection o Illicit sales. The system does not interfer' in the least with the local option privilege 
 but rather helps to make no license an ac tuality; 1t does not advocate . state mo nopoly, but leaves tbe drink problem t be dealt with by each community. It is powerful means of education, by holdinI up intemperance as vice society will no tolerate. By securing for the communit

The wrap may have circular or princess shape, and is fit ted as far as the waist in the back with 8 long sash reaching from there to the hem, bordered on each side with ostrich feather galoon. The bottom of the garment Is or namented with jet pa.sementsrie.

 For the street and ordinary outdoor oc- oasions heavy kid gloves arc worn. It Is not, however, the card board stiff kid SO much in vogue last season. The new sort is soft, of very firm and cloee texture, but thick. It should bs well worked down on the hand, but the kid does not mold itself to the hand. Much care must be exercised ir the fastening of these gloves, the first button coming about the same place as in a dress glove. All colors are worn, the rule being that the glove should neither contrast with nor match the costume. A soft brown Is much worn, and the brick red has a suitability that 1t has gained from It's conventionslity. Black Ia seldom worn except in a dress kid of somewhat lighter make than the eolored street gloves These are often finished with white kid binding or stitching. FLoRETTE.

HOW TO GO TO SLEEP.


 There are all kinds of cures for sleep lessness, including the eating of peanuts just before trying to go to sleep. And still there are 6 great many people who can't sleep. Those who can't slesp by the aid of peanuts, lying with the head toward the north, counting sheep jumping over 6 wall, etc., etc, may be interested and profted by a new ''natural" cure fo, sleeplessness recommended by Dr. J. E. Huxley of Maidstone, England. Dr. Hux. ley has been watching animals and he asks ''What do the cat and dog do when they prepare to sleeps They turn around, gen. orally three timss, aud lastly bury their noses in some hollow in their hail and off they go." And he ad. vises imitation of the cat and dog by those who find 1t hard to sleep. He would have such unfortunases curl under the bed clothes like kitten, or put the head under the wing like hsn. He says: Try nature's plan instead: lower the sup ply of oxygen to the blood, produce 8 little aspbyxia, limit the quantity of air to the lungs, and the heart and tte circulation becoming quicker, the brain loses it's stim- ulent and sleep follows. When you find yourself in for 6 sleepless night, cover your head with the d clothes and breathe and re breathe only the reepired air. Thus you may reduce the stimulating oxygen and fall asleep. There is no danger. When asleep you are sure to disturb the cover. ings and get ss much fresh air as you re- quire, or, when once drowsiress has been produced, it is easy to go on sleeping, though the air be fresh.
 This is rather plausible potion. It is certainly safer to initiate cats and doge than to take chloral and other such stuff.

HOPE FOR THE ASSESSORS. < At laet the movement to save the lives of the assessors appears to be headed in the right direction. The board of alder
 men last evening voted in favor of the plan which provides for the building of an
 addition to the City Hall on the south side of the assessors tomb. This addition will give fine room with abundant light, and will avoid any further mutilstion of the City Hall. It Is the plan favored. by the assessors, who know what their needs are better than anybody e,ss.
 It is the only adequate plan that has been proposed. It ia the only one that will
 make the assessorE quarters at all what
 they ought to be. . Y
 It is to be hoped that there will bs no further pulling and hauling over this mat.
 tor. There has already been squabbling
 enough to build a new City Hall. The
 town is sctipg reasonably and the city ought to initiate it, Let the best plan be
 adopted as soon-as possible and then let
 us have peace until somebody raises
 another equally weighty question.

 DRESDEN, Feb. 20. To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In my last letter Lad visited the Dres- den picture galleries, SO replete with the master pieces of the worlds great artists. I could merely touch upon few of those precious gems of art, before whose glories ono could finger almost life time.
 I had no tims to tell you of the lovely St. Cecilia of Carlo Dolce; the beautiful Magdalsne of Rlberia; the St. Rodriguez of Murillo; or of Sslvstor Rosa's Ship wreck on q rocky coast; or of many other famous paintings, which like magnets at- tract the eyes of hundreds of admirers daily. Now let us descend the great stair- case and enter the "Collection of Engra- vings," founded by Augustus the Second, containing four hundred thousand plates from the oldest masters of the fifteenth csutury down to the present time.
 This chamber of engravings is one of the most interesting and instructive places to visit in the whole of Europe.
 Ancient and curious wood cuts of the fifteenth century, and masterpieces in wood aud steal engraving, are to be seen here. Room after room is filled with them; many framed and arranged in order as to the period of their production; while most of them are bsuud in very large tonnes and nicely put away in strong cabinets.
 To trace the progress of the art of wood and steel engraving from its earliest dayl is most delightful study. The master pieces of Spain, France, England, Italy the Netherlands and Germany can all b, found hero and studied to the hearts con | tent.
 One very agreeable privilege to be en joyed here is permission to personally ex anime the precious contents of these pon derous tonnes.
 One can ait ct the roomy tables fur nished with upright dssks and call for tn prints of any of the great masters he ma choose to elect.
 1 You can examine tome after tome 0 Murillo's picturee; these are photograph of those splendid pictures which hay made the name of the Spanish artist s celebrated.
 Thousands of large volumes can be ha containing prints from original plates Q A. Dursr, Y. Angelo, Rembrandt and yer many other masters.
 l It would require . life time to examin and study the treasures in these rooms.
 Admittancs is free and the privileges C the collection are to he enjoyed simply fo the asking.

The very best way to know whether Dobbins' Electric Soap is as good as it is said to be, is to TRY IT YOURSELF. It can't deceive YOU. Only be careful not to get an imitation. There are a great many Elec- tries and Magnetics, all intend ed to deceive the public into supposing that they are Dob bins Electric, or just as good. We have made this since 1869. It is the original Electric and is guaranteed to be worth four times as much as any other soap ever made. For washing anything, from the finest lace to the heaviest blanket, it is without a peer. Only follow directions.
