The legislature of Iowa has hot
in set terms abolished the prohibi-
tory liquor lawi but has provided a
way through which liquors may be
sold within the state, The new
law fixes a tax of 5000 a year on
any real estate upon which liquor
is sold, and the payment of this tax
is to be a bar to prosecutions under,
the prohibitory law when majority
of the voters in the larger cities,
and IS per cent. of them In places
not SO large, ask such exemption
by petition. That is, while prohi-
bition is nominally maintained, a
method of local option Is devised
whereby it may be set aside.

When We MAY Fly.

What is now required is that the
field of research and experiment
should no longer beleftto impractical
enthusiasts, rs for the most part 1T
has been of yore. 1t is high time
that really competent and well-in'
formed mechanical engineers should
follow the example Of Mr. Maxim and
Prof. Langley by turning their at
tention to the subject. Once let
this be done and l am satisfied that
the problem will be in fair way OF
solution and cannot fail ultimately
of a satisfactory issue.
Nevertheless, after some consider
able study of the question, l have a
persuasion amounting to a conviction
that whatever partial or temporary
success may attend all such machines
as Mr.. Maxim's, which depend upon
locomotion through the air for sus
tanning power in it, the ultimate
solution Of the problem will be some
thing different. That is, | believe
that really safe, workable, and
reliable flying machine must be based
upon the principle Of dissociating the
stable vertical suspension in the air,
If required, from horizontal locomo-
ton through it. Such a machine
must be capable of rising vertically
In the air in a dead calm, and re.
naming suspended in it, as apart
from, or in addition to, any question
of horizontal locomotion through the
air
Moreover, it must be so constructed
that no possible breakdown or failure
in any engine, or in any part Of the
gear, will endanger the lives OF the
passengers. But these conditions
will no doubt involve a considerable
further reduction in the ratio of
weight carried to power developed
in the motor, and for this we must
be content to await the further
progress of science.
Once let this vital issue of stable
suspension in the air be satisfactorily
achieved in really sound, safe, and
reliable way, and the consequences
which will follow from the new de-
parture are enormous and meal
culable. Contemporary Review.

The ResponsibiIity Fixed.

The professor of natural science in
a well-known university was discuss
ing the process of fertillzing plants
by means of insects carrying pollen
from one plant to ano her, and to
amuse them told how the old maids
were the ultimate cause Of it all.
The humble bees carry the pollen;
the field mice eat the humble bees;
therefore, the more field mice, the
fewer humble bees, and the less pol
len and variation Of plants. But
cats devour field mice, and old maids
protect cats. Therefore, the more
old maids the more cats, the fewer
field mice the more beer. Hence,
the old maids are the cause of it all.
Thereupon a sophomore with a sim
gle eyeglass, an English umbrella, a
box-coat, with his "trousers" rolled
up at the bottom, arose and asked;
81 sa-a-y, Professah, what is the
cause-ah-of old maids, don't you
know"
"Perhaps Miss Jones can tell you,
suggested the Professor.
Dudes" said Miss Jones sharply,
and without a moments hesitation,
There was silence in the room fol
the space of thirty seconds, after which
the lecture was resumed.

Tituba and the other two women
were but the arst victims, and Others
followed, persons of much gre Liter
Importance in.the community, Next
came Martha Corey and Rebecca
Nurse. The former had said that
she did not believe the children were
bewitched; the latter was one Of the
most devout and spotless women Of
Salem. They were both accused,
and with the rest, thrown into jail.
The two latter with six Others, were
hanged Sept. 0. Before her execu-
ton Mrs. Nurse was solemnly eXcom-
municated and cut of from the
church. AS the eight bodies swung
from the tree where they were left
to hang Rev. Mr. Noyes pointed to
them as he passed some distance be-
low, saying to his followers; "What a
sad thing it is to see eight frebrands
Of hell hanging there!"
Giles Corey's Terrible Fate.
1t would be too long to particular
lie every case, but it may be said
that during this excitement, in Sa-
lem alone nineteen persons suffered
death-slx men, one a clergyman, and
thirteen women. OF all these deaths
probably the most horrible was that
of Giles Corey. He was an old man
80 years of age who had been az.
fected by the popular madness, and
his accusations had had influence in
convicting his wife. Seeing what
had been done he confessed he had
been misled, upon which he was in
turn accused of witchcraft Thrice
was he brought into court, but he re-
fused to open his mouth. He was
then taken to a spot on the high
road, a picture of which is here given
as it now appears, and pressed to
death. He wasstrlpped of his clothes,
laid upon a board and another was
placed on top of him, The magls-
trates then put heavy weights and
stones on his body until life was ex-
tinct. He prayed them, it is said, to
put on as heavy ones as possible and
shorten his agony.
An End of tho Craze.
But the end was near, and what
finally turned the tide was the accu-
sation Of Mrs. Hale, wife Of minis
ter at Beverly. In October charges
were brought against her, but she
was so unanimously regarded as
good woman and the people were SC
heartily sick of Rev, Mr. Paris and
the bewitched children that reac
tion was only natural. In January
1893, three more persons were tried
in court and condemned, but no exc
cutions took place, and they, with
those in jail, $50 people in all, were

Frenncnt OnsIanghts

On the delicate membrane Of tho bowels and
stomach with drastic purgatives must hqye
their natural consequence-to weaken and dis
able both organs. Nature oxacts severe penal
tics for infringcments Of her laws, and there is
frequent and unnecessary dosing with violent
cathartics This is, however, the course .pur-
sued by many unwise people who seem to think
that the boweis, unless constantly relaxed, arc
not in healthy state. When9 laxative is really
safest and most thorough, 1t neither gripes

one doubted that old women might
have commerce with the devil, and
by him be empowered to work i'll to
whomsoever they wished; none doubt
ed that witches should be condemned
to death or should be tortured to dis
cover whether they were really serv-
ants of the evil one. 1t only needed
some boy who wished to stay home
from school to begin to spit pins to
drive a whole community to mad
ness; it only needed some unscrupu-
lous person to have a dislike against
another, and accuse such one Of
witchcraft, TO insure the victims
death, more or less speedily. This
: country has seen outbreaks of this
ignorant supersttions several times,
but the most famous took place at
Salem, Mass, 1t is a little over 200
years since the first arrests were made
there on the charge Of witchcraft,
and, consequently, a short account of
the craze will not be unlnterestlng.
The Bewitched Children.
Rev. Samuel Paris was minister
over the church at Salem in the year
1859. In several ways he had man
aged to get a part Of the congrega-
tion against him and his influence
was fast becoming thing of the past.
1t was necessary, he felt, to cause a
diversion in his favor and in some
way regain the ground he had lost.
1t happened by chance in the winter
of 160l-'92 that a number of children
used to come to Mr.. Paris house to
play with his little ones and with his
Indian servant, Tituba. This maid,
in play apparently, used to instruct
the children In palmistry and they
became quite skilled in the art. The
people did not understand what was
being done and rumors began to be
heard of traffic with the devil. These
became stronger when the parents of
the children called in the village
physician who gave it as his opinion
that the children were bewitched.
Feeling spread like flame and an oc.
currence in the village church soon
famed the blaze. This was nothing
less than the interruption of sermon
and prayers. "There is a yellow bird
sitting on the minister's hat" cried
one child. "Stand up and name your
text" shouted another to the minis.
ter. Come enough of that" broke
in a third, as Mr. Paris hesitated In
his prayer.
Mr.. Paris took advantage Of the
popular uneasiness to divert feeling
from himself, and summoned min
listers from the neighboring towns tt
a conference at his house. They de-
cided that the children were un
doubtedly bewitched and must bt
examined as to the author Of the
spell. The children accused Tituba
Sarah Good and Sarah Osburn. The
two latter were old, bed-riddeI
women, nevertheless they were ar

The Vanishing Moose.

A deer when started by . hunter
or driven by hounds usually returns
in a few days to the same hill or
mountain side where he was fist
found; but a moose, when once thor
oughly alarmed, will start on a long,
swinging walk and, taking with him
his entire family, leave for good. 1t
is one Of the greatest difficulties
and there are many-in still hunting
this animal, to avoid getting him
under way, for then the hunter may
as we'll break camp and try other
fields, since not moose will be found
within miles They scent mecca
sin track or the smoke Of a fire at an
incredible distance A fresh trail
may be found one day, and arrange
ments made to follow it at daybreak
on the morrow, During the night
the moose, returning to his cd
haunts, detects the danger signs, and
all the hunters find in the morning
is a trail six or eight hours old lead
ing for parts unknown in an almost
perfectly straight line. The moose
is at that moment, perhaps, seventy
miles off, and still going.
Although moose cannot be driven
to water by hounds, like deer, but
will turn savagely to bay, still they
will not remain in a locality where
dogs are running; so that when the
white hunters became numerous in
the North Woods, and especially
when they introduced bounding, the
moose simply left the country, and
passed either eastward to Maine or
northward to Canada.
1t is a well-authenticated, but lit
tie known, fact that they practically
left in one season. They were nu-
merous In the Adirondacks, especial
ly in Browns TTaCt-a large district
in what is now the southwestern part
of the wilderness--until the period
between 1850 and 1855 probably near
the latter year,, when they suddenly
disappeared. Before this several had
been killed yearly. Scattered ones
we're shot later, but 1855 marked
their exit from the annals Of New
York game. Years later, four or
five were brought back to Saranac,
but would not stay,

LATE Pence, OF Colorado, has high,
penetrating voice, but, according to
the Washington Star, 1t isn't cir
cumstance to that Of one Of his pre-
decessors, George O. Symes, who died
recently. Symes was an Ohioan by
birth, served through the war In a
Wisconsin regiment and lived most
Of his life in the Rocky Mountain re-
gion, where he was a lawyer and an
orator noted for his great voice, Com
pared with it the roar of the bull Of
Bashan was gentle murmur 1t
was a deep, heavy bass, proceeding,
seemingly, from cavernous depths.
Explaining the reputation his voice
had given him, he said one day;

the words rolled out in his deepest,
heaviest bass "You see, l was out

Republican audience at Silverton,
Over at Oroville, twenty miles dis
tant, the Democrats were holding a
meeting. Along about 0 o'clock there
came up one Of the awful storms
which occur In that mountain coun-
try. The wind howled like a million
devils. 1t was specially bad at Orc
vile, The people showed signs Of
alarm, and acted as II they wanted to
break UP the meeting and leave the

meeting over at Silyerton and George
Symes is addressing it, He has just
come to the part Of his speech where
he denounces the Mills tariff bill and
the noise you hear is the indlstlnct
rambling Of his voice,
Symes' voice was equal to that Of
Governor William Allen, of Ohio
commonly called "Old Bill Allen. "
He was noted for having the most
tremendous voice of his day. Once
when he was a member Of Congress,
before the days Of railroads, one Of
his colleagues departed for his home
in the Buckeye State The day after
he had left Allen was lamenting the
fact that he had gone, as he wanted
to consult him about some matter
that had come up unexpectedly.
"That needn't trouble you, Allen,

got across the Alleghanes yet, Just

freed the following May. The ex-
citement died a natural death; a
surfeit followed the repletion Of
slaughter.
Rev. Mr.. Paris was tried by the
church in April to find out what con-
nection he had with the craze. He
could make no satisfactory defense
and was dismissed from the pastor
ate. He wandered about, preaching
wherever people would listen to him,
and finally died at Sudbury in 1920.
With his death the curtain falls upon
this the strangest and most tragic
chapter in American history and one
which no man can read without a
feeling of devout thankfulness that
his lot is cast not in an age of VIC
lence and superstition, but in one of
quietness and peace.

A Californian Reduces the Passion "a
Figures


Some men seem to have a genius
for statistics, and wish to reduce ev'
erything to tabular form. Such a
one has recently come to light in San
Francisco, and he has, after reading
several hundred novels, given us the
benefit of his researches as to how
men and women behave at the criti'
cal point when a man pays woman
the compliment Of asking her to
share his burial lot with him as well
as the time intervening before that
uninteresting event
Some fallac!es are exposed, the
principal one being that the ladies dc
not promise to be sister to the re-
iected oftener than II times out OF
so, while she promises to be friend
20 times in the same number.
Now, as to the gentleman's beha'
vlor, decidedly the popular thing Is
for him to declare that he cannot
live without the woman in question,
and in 81 cases in 100 he kisses her
on the lips, y times he holds her
hands very tightly, and SO times he
begins "all of sudden"
The least popular thing for him to
do is to kiss the woman on the head,
on the nose by mistake, and on the
shawl. He usually sits upon a chair
or sofa, three times he reclines on the
grass, four times he goes on one knee,
and twice he goes on two knees, SC
that the kneeling business is pretty
well evened up.
The popular thing for the lady, IN
case of an acceptance, is to sink int
the arms of the gentleman, and this
she does 81 times out Of 100, and In
81 cases she knows that something Is
coming,
Seventy-two times she has eyes full
of love, and GO times she rests hel
head upon the gentleman's breast
DULY four times is she taken by sur
prise, and six times she weeps silent
ly for JOY. Once she sneezes, once
she struggles not to be kissed, anc
once she says, "Dont be a fool. "
In cases of rejection it is evident
ly the proper thing for the gentleman
to rush madly away, for he does thl'
in 81 cases in So He declares thai
he will commit suicide but times
once he says he will go to the devil
and 10 times he thinks he will g
