1 don't suppose New York was ever
more overrun with incompetent servants
than at present. It is almost impossi-
BILE to get a good butler, footman, coach
man or groom. The reason, Of course,
is that people who are just setting up
establishments depend upon their serv-
ants to tell them how to do it.
ooh, no, mann; in the hold country
we never serve the olives till halter

"Beg pardon, sir, but I always bitted
me 'orses that way at 'ome."
And so the poor fools who are pay
ing twice the wages that a clever, hon
est servant is worth sit at the knee Of
their hireli1gs and drink in words of
wisdom from the hold country" No
wonder there are serious accidents with
horses and that the soup is often spilled
down ones back.-Cholly Knickerbock.

A Runaway.

Yesterday morning while Mrs. W. Y. l..
Marshall and a lady friend and a little child
were in a buggy in front of Levi Bros. on
Main Street, drawn by q horse that was
rather nervous, the animal in kicking got one
foot over the sw,ngletree and began to plunge
about ~eudangering the occupants of the
vehicle. Several gentlemen went to the
rescue aud got the ladies and child ont, the
horse still kicking, until he got both bind
feet over the tree. BE made his way up the
street near to the corner of Republican where
he struck the buggy against an awning pole,
and broke loose, continuing his excited course
homewards.
These accidents (?) are becoming aiarmingly
frequent, and ladies particularly should be
very careful what sort of q horse they drive,
and how, and when, acc where.

N. G. BOARD OF HEALTH,
RALEIGH, N c.. April, 20, 1894.
The evidence that malarial diseases
are introduced into the system, in
many if not most Instances, through the
medium of the drinking water is, to my
mind, conclusive. The water contain
ing the germs Of plasmodia is surface
or superficial soil water. Those living
in malarial districts who con6ne
themselves to water from cisterns or
wells driven or bored beneath the statum
of mari or impervious clay-io other
words, beyond the water which soaks
down from the surface-are 10 a large
extent free from attacks. If the peo-
pic Of our eastern counties could be
generally convinced Of this fact and
thereby induced to act upon it, the
health conditions of that really fine
section would be revolationized for the
better. To bring this about is the
object of the Board of Health. In
order to do this facts must be presented

is that there is now no law making it a
criminal ofense to sell spirituous
liquors. W. do not think such a posi-
ton can be sustained. While it is true
that the Act of 1892, commonly called
the @'Dispeusary Act" did contain
clauses purporting to repeal all previous
Acts regulating the sale Of s%pirituous
liquors, yet as all the provisions Of that
Act, except the one %hereinabove re-
ferred to, which does not affect the pres
eut inquiry, have been declared uucou-
stitutional and void, in the case of Nc
Cullough VS.. Brown, supra, 1t follows
necessarily that the repeating clauses Of
the Ac. Of 1892 never bad any force
and effect as law, and hence the Law
relating to this subject remains as it
was prior to the passage Of the Act ;
aud therefore any person who violates
such pre-exisiting Law subjects himself
to Indictment and punishment.
Besides there can be no doubt that
the petitioner may be lawfully prose-
cated for the violation of the ordinance
of the city f%orbidding the sale of spir
ituous liquors within the corporate
limits Of said city.
1t is clear, therefore, that the petit
toner is not entitled to a discharge. In
accordance with these views 40 order
has heretofore been filed granting the
injunction as prayed for in the case
first named and refusing the second,

ond case.

Peter the Great adopted rather novel
means to convince his subjects that they
should change their clothes to conform
with the modern costumes of western
Europe. Believing as is well known his
torically, that the future greatness Of Rus
sia depended upon the facility with which
it was made to asSimilate all that was best
in other countries, he had succeeded in In
Producing some important innovation into
the half civilized region over which he held
sway. At length be had patterns Of cloth
hung up at the gates Of the towns, and
those who did not conform to the fashions
thus set were docked publicly. Albeit this
was done in as pleasant a manner as pos
sible, for Peter believed in being good nat
ured with his people They, on the other
hand loudly demurred and used the argu-
ment that what was good enough for their
forefathers was good enough for them.
Very WE'LL" said the sagacious Peter.
In 1903 he gave dinner at Moscow to cele-
brate the marriage OF one of his testers,
and insisted that it should be conducted in
strict conformity with ancient usage
There had formerly been a superstitious
custom of not lighting fire on a wedding
So Peter made them do without fire, al
though it was very cold. He wouldn't give
them any wine, because their forefathers
never drank it. When they demonstrated
he reminded them that it was a poor rule
which did not work all around, and thus,
By his good natured greatness, wheedled
his people into new coats-about the hard
est thing that can be done with humanity.

our attention much more frequently than
we desired. The houses were entirely de-
serted. Often we found the kitchen fire
blazing, the keys hanging in the cupboard
lock, and the chickens sauntering about
the yard with a confidence that proved
that they had never before seen soldiers

Three Sacred Trees.

The palm, the oak and the ash are the
three trees which, since time inmemorial,
were held to be sacred trees. The first
among them, which figures on the Oldest
monuments and pictures Of the Egyptians
aud Assyrians, is the date palm hometan.
Tradition Of q later period says that when
Adam left Paradise he was allowed to take
with him three things-a myrtle, because
it was the most lovely and most scented
flower on the earth; wheat ear, because
it had the most nourishment, and a date,
because it was the most glorious fruit Of
the earth. The date from Paradise was in
some marvellous way brought to the Deiaz.
From it have come all the date palms in
the world. aad Allah destined it to be the
food Of all true :. levers, who shall con.
quer every cCuu where the date palm
