Night AiR.

''It always amuses me-" remarked
Dr.. T, L. Goodwin of Chicago when
hear people say THAT they are afraid
to have their bedroom windows open at
night, owing to the night air. What
other kind of air can we breathe at
night but night air? The choice is be-
tween pure air from without and foul
air from within. 1t has been proved
that II largo number of the diseases we
suffer from are occasioned by people
sleeping with thoir windows shut An
open window most nights in the year
can never hurt any one. In largo cities
the night air is the best and purest to
be had i'll any of the 24 hours, and it
would BIO a great deal healthier to keep
the windows closed during the day than
at night The absence of smoke, etc.
tends to make the night tho best time
for airing the rooms. "

Quincy, Chicago Gas and ST. Paul

45,535 for the remainder Of the active
list. Sugar went down to 99K and rose

stock moved up and down according to
the tenor OF the advices Chicago Gas
figured for $4,000 shares in the total
sales.
There we're no new developments to
account for the result, which was gener-
ally attributed TO the efforts of short

quo warranto proceedings brought by
Attorney General Moloney, Of Illinois,
were considered more than at present.

The usual pictures Of the gorilla do
not represent him as have seen him.
He has not only a cr0uching habit, but
he walks on all four Of mis- legs and has
the motion of most quadrupeds, using
his right arm and left leg at the same
time, and alternates with the left arm
and right leg. It is not exactly walk
or a trot, but a kind of ambling gait,
while the chinpanzee uses his arms as
crutches, but lifts one foot from the
ground a little in advance of the other.
They do not place the palm Of the hand
on the ground. but use the back Of the
fingers from the second joint and at
times the one | have described above
seemed to touch only the back Of the
nails. but this was when she was scarce
ly moving at all. am now preparing
to photograph some Of them. and think
can give a more reliable picture of
this animal than have ever seen here.

Tie eot,enburg system.

To the Editor OF ths Bauasr.
The dispensary law of South Caro-
lima mas been in operation only few
months and if Gov. TilIman' IS message
to the legislature is 10 be received at
its face value the results are very
gratifying. The people generally are
interested IN and are critically eoBsid-
ering the workings Of this Gothenburg
system, as it is called. 1t seems that
this system Is something of COM
promise between prohibition and the
license system in operation in other
parts Of cur great country. II does
not prohibit the sale of intoxieants
but it puts the whole liquor traffic in
the custody Of the state. Reports
from twenty-five of the principal
towns of the state where the law has
been most vigorously opposed, show
most encouraging progress. There
has been reduction of forty-five per
cent in arrests where the law has been
but partially enfo reed.
From July to October Of the Year
1898 fthe last year under the old sys-
tenn in twenty-five towns reported,
there were sos arrests for drunken
ness; the past year, A. d. 1888, Wit
messed only AIS arrests for drunken
ness during the same months Of last
year. This is remarkable, Mr.. Editor,
even q partial enforcement of this i'm
perfect law has greatly reduced the
crime of drunksnness-
Governor Tillnan contends that the
law is working very satisfactorily,
that the new system is free from
many Objectionable features which
are attached to the old enc.
He mentions the following;
/. The element Of personal profit Is
destroyed, thereby removing the in
eentiye to increase the sales.
2 Treating is stopped as the bot
ties are not opened on the premises.
3. The LEGAL whiskey rings, which
have been the curse of every munich
pality in the state and have always
controlled municipal elections, have
been torn up root and branch.
We beg that your readers will par
tieularly consider the fourth item
above.
IT should be remembered that none
but total abstainers ara permitted to
keep the state dispensaries.
Or course there are several obsta-
cles in the way of making a fair test
of this system, but it csn not be
shown, we believe, that it is not de-
cided improvement over the democrat
izIng system in vogue elsewhere. 1t
has, clearly, strong moral advantages
erer the license system. One of the
best proofs OF its advantage is that it
ia vigorously fought by the rum power
Of the country, and, too, by many
cranks in the antI-saloon ranks. There
il no doubt, that in those cOmmuui-
ties in the old Palmetto state, where
public sentiment endorses it, this sys-
tenn is proving itself a great moral
blessing.
We use this strong language; II is
certainly no more immoral than the
governments internal revenue policy
and not half so Infamous as the Ii
cense system. One of the most cor
rupting influences in our country is
the saloon in politics. Let US take
it out of politics. CREDo.
