The Saloon Question Settled.

1t would seem odd to step into a
saloon and take drink and when YOU
loitered for moment to chatter with
the bartender receive the polite informa-
ton that YOU must leave the premises at
once. And, furthermore. if YOU refused
TO leave the bartender would threaten
to have YOU arrested. That would seem
to be a queer way of running a saloon,
wouldn't it?"
So spoke A. F. Barker, a travelling
man from New York, to a st. Louis
Repub'ic man.
But that is the way saloons are run
over in Norway and Sweden" he con-
tiDued. Over there they have an i'm
provement on Gov. Tillman's methods
drumming dram shops III South Carolina.
When | was on a trip on the other side
| learned that Norway and Sweden have
peculiar lOcal-option system in opera
ton. If u community votes to have
saloons a contract is let to a commercial
company, which establishes saloons in
only license sections.
The law prohibits the sale of liquor
on Sunday, and the American habit OF
treating is strictly prohibited. A Gus
toner can buy no more than one drink
in a saloon. And if a man is laundering
after a jag he need not think he can 90
from one saloon to anothef until he be-
comes saturated for the law prohibits
a saloon-keeper from selling even one
drink to customer who is under the
influence of liquor. No loating is per-
mitted in a saioon-the customer must
take his one drink and walk out. If
he refuses to 90 an officer will arrest
him and fine will be paid. A certain
percentage of the capital invested in the
business goes to the saloon company,
and all the remainder of the receipts l.
divided among various funds, some to
the schools, some TO the police boards,
the public hospitals and other charitable
institutions. These are the best regulat-

CHINESE NAMES.
ACurious System of Nomenclature for Des.
ignating Foreign Countries.

The Chinese, when they first knew
their eastern neighbors. who are now
exhibiting such restless war spirit,
named them Wa people, says North
China HcraM In their histories this
single word was sufficient BY change
of vowel during 1000 Years Wa has be-
come Wo. In the imperial declaration
of war of Aug. this is the term used
and it is brief and sufficient.
The Chinese like monOsyllabic names
for countries. The various foreign ma
tons have, when making treaties usual
" chosen the monosvllables which form
their names England, Wing kwo,
means the hourishing country" fol
wing the treaty character for Great
Britain, has that sense. Fa means law,
and France, Fa kwO. is the 'law-abid-
ing country" Germany, known as lie
kwo, is the "virtuous country. The
United States republic Is the Mel kwo,
or beautiful country" Italy Is the
country of justice" | kwo.
Each treaty nation has chosen its own
name for moral effect. 1t has been a
matter for international diplomacy, and
the Chinese government has invariably
given way to the wishes of each OF the
treaty powers as represented by its min
lister and his Chinese secretary. From
the time that the ministers of the treaty
nations had residence in Pekin the name
of the country made use of in diplomatic
correspondence has been, of course, that
which was satisfactory to- the treaty
powers. The same was the case with
Japan. Japan, there can be no doubt
prefers ii pen, the land of the risin Q
sun, because it is more poetical than the
name Wo, which means Submissive,
winding and twisting" On the whole,
Japan wishes to be known rs the land
of the sun, ii kwo, but she also likes ii
pen which is the same with Japan, and
she has not made the use of the term
Wo a matter of complaint.

HE HEARD DAN TALK.

Capt. k. L.. German Is one of the
few men III the city, if not the only
one, who had the good fortune to near
Daniel Webster make one Of his great
speeches on the floor of the senate. 1t
was in 1850, and the speech that Capt.
German heard was what has since been
become known as the Tenth of March
speech on tie Missouri compromise
Capt. Germans father was at that
time a representative from Indiana in
the house and tie captain himself was
boy of thirteen years. Yesterday III
conversation with some of his friends
the name Of Daniel Webster was men
toned and it led Capt. German to re
call the time when he had heard that
statesman speak.
Il don't remember what | thought
of the speech" he said. Il was only
boy about thirteen years old, and I'll
the men III the senate appeared won
derful to me- / remember seeing
Stephen A Douglas, Sleidell. Thomas
H. Benton, John G. Calhoun and many
Of the others who played leading parts
in those times. But though | don't
remember much about Webster ;
speech. | will never forget how he
looked. | can see him as clearly to-
day as though it were yesterday. He
was dressed in a blue coat cut like a
swallow tail, with brass buttons,
smooth brass buttons, buff vest that
showed just a little above his coat at
the top and just little below. His
head at that time was bald on top with
fringe of hair about it. he made a
magnificent figure as he stood there
laying down the law to his colleagues
His guestures We're very simple. One
hand would be thrust in his vest with
his thumb protruding or would hang
motionless by his side, while the other
would be raised high above his head
and with it he would emphasize his
periods. Usually he held a folded
document in the hand he used to ge-
I ture with. But when his hand was
empty he held it up, palm outward
toward his auditors, and would bring
it down emphatically at the rropel
points. 1t was his onl y gesture, but
it was very impressive. [ remember
seeing John G. Calhoun stalking about
the floor that day, a tall, gaunt man
his hand thrust in his vest. His face
lean and around it hung his long gray
hair. 1t was at him in particular, his OLD
antagonist, that Webster directed the
greater portion of his remarks.
AT that time Senator German OF
Maryland was page in the house IL
the following year [ remember going
with my father to see Webster in his
office. At that time Webster was sec

Must Call 1t Your Goat Flower

Il can place a man in his proper po-
sition in society by his boutonniere. p"
said an observing florist to n. Y. Sun
man. The innate tastes of a man,
whether refined or vulgar. will invaria-
bly, crop out in his buttonhole bouquet.
And, by the way, good New Yorker
will not say boutonniere now, but coat
flower.
The other day three young men
came in. They were noisy and egotis-
teal. Each asked for a bic yellow
chrysanthemum. The flowers were
nearly half as BIG as their heads. The
chrysanthemums We're pinned on and
the young men followed their button
hole bouquets up the street. l Will
wager hundred that those boys were
college students Soon afterward came
in an actor and asked for big bunch of
vioets for his coat. The violetS would
have been suitable for his wife. Then a
member of the Knickerbocker club
called and said: Please put a few
white carnations i'll my coat How
much more refined was the last of the
three tastes.
$50 long as | can remember the wear
ing OF coat flowers has always been a
custom but not until the present time
has the custom become an art. If a
coat flower is too small the wearer looks
insignificant. Ii it is too large he looks
vulgar and shows he has no knowledge
of the art of personal adornment. But
if his buttonhole flower is just right the
wearer has a refined and well-balanced
personal appearance. Chrysanthemums
are obsolete as coat flowers.
The flowers used mostly are bouvar-
dias, gardenias and carnations, and vio-
lets and cornfowers, if one wishes to
wear the fashionable color known as
'bluet.' OF these flowers the favorites
are gardenias, corntowers and white
carnations. The refined coat flower is
of white carnations and is not more
than two and half inches in diameter
The green carnation was on the point
of becoming favorite when that mys-
FERROUS London novel, The Green Car
nation came out and signed the death
warrant of the new flower"

do dogs reason? Well if that doc
does not, his distinctive love of SYM
patty is abnormalIy developed, " said
gentleman on Fifth avenue Yesterday,
as he pointed to a woebegone NANCY
looking dog that was seated in the mid
die of the pavement looking up at pass
ers by in a pitiful manner with tears
g!istening in his eyes. Now look at
him for while and see how his mute
appeal for sympathy will meet with re-
spouse.
| waited for while. and two ladies
were about TO pass the canine mendicant
when, with an intensified look of misery
and an adroit shift OF his position, he
brought himself where the women must
surely see him. Then. when he was OBJ
served, the tears welled to his eyes as
the ladies murmured, while petting him:
"The poor dear thing! Isn't he sad
looking? Nice little dog" &c
Now said my friend, that dog is
professional beggar, although he asks
only for sympathy. | have taken some
trouble to find out something about him,
seeing him always on some one of the
principal streets of the city going
through the same act which we have
! just seen him do. He is an expert at
the business, and his one desire seems TO
be to get himself noticed. He is good
| enough Judge of human nature to pick
out those who will give him sympathy
rather than a kick, for, although have
watched him many times, be has never
| failed, where he has tried to bring 20
himself a gentle pat, if not a kind word.
He is particularly fond of the sympathy
of misunderstanding old ladies, and
have frequently seen him follow them
after they had passed by without noticing
him until they would give him gentle
words. How the dog lives | don't
know nor can l find out, for nobody
who knows him ever saw him eat. Ii
he lives on sympathy there is some ac-
counting for his bony appearance. -

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 15,-One thing
that the Legislature might do with good
grace would be to pass law repeallng
the laws for the encouragement of tn
raising of vermin by paying bounties TO
the scalps of wild animals. In 1893 Their
was paid out by the state to foster TIN
infant industry, the sum of S12,77S, ana
In 1894 it cost Sl3,06S. The prospec
seems to be that the expenses under this
head will be even larger during the cur
rent year, as demands on the treasury ar
made every day from the different coun
ties which also pay local bounties equal
10 tie amount which the state pays.
