THE SALOON AND THE BALLOT-
BOX.

sit is election morning. Here
stands an American working man In
front of his cottage home. Inside are
wife and baby boy. The workman
owns his home, has good job, is
sober, intelligent, and happy. Offer
him ten dollars for his vote and he
would knock you down. He is man,
with a mans honor and conscience.
In the hands of such men the ballot
box is safe. Tomorrow let the same
enter saloon and commence to drink
and for ten years take the same course
of political training the saloon gives
it's customers, and at the end of that
time graduate sot. Election morn
ing comes and finds him in front of
the tenement where poverty has
driven his wife, who takes in washing
and does the most mental work to
support herself and children. He is
a drunkard, ragged, dirty, hungry,
and worse still, the diseased craving
for liquor almost drives him wild.
He has no money, no employment,
and he could not work if it was Off
cred him conscience is stupefed, will
power gone. A villain offers five
dollars for his vote and he sells it.
Such are the political results of the
alcoholic liquor traffic. To pass laws
to guard against corruption of ballot
box, and license institutions to corrupt
voters, is working at the wrong end"
John B. Finch.

The difference between the cash
value of the services of a sober man
and of sot illustrates the financial
loss to the state from the liquor traffic.
What would we say of a man who vol
UNFAIRLY wastes his resources as the
state wastes it's when it licenses the
drunkard making business?

One curiously irrational feature OF
the conduct of government and
society is the lavish expenditure
for cure compared with the pittance
spent for prevention. We lavish
thousands upon our asylums, which
proper attention to medical educa-
ton and sanitary precautions would
render tenantless. We elect rogues
to office, and maintain at great ex-
pense of time, labor and money a
voluntary system of espionage to
prevent their robbing us. We build
costly jails and prisons, and support
expensive courts of justice, and al
low uncared for waits by thousands
to throng our streets and abodes OF
evil 1t is truth that has become
trite, that prevention would be vastly
more economical and beneficial than
these only half effective cures.

The young women OF Danbury,
Conn. have started a new ball to
rolling. They have organized
society, each member of which
pledges herself not to marry any man
who drinks. 1.-THE lips that touch
wine shall never touch mine," seems
to be the idea, and mighty good
idea it is too. Since railroad corpo-
rations are refusing to entrust the
care even Of freight train to man
who drinks, it is time for women to
refuse to entrust their destiny and
the destiny of their children to such
men. Stick to it, ladies.

Cut Work.

Now that there is revival Of this SIM
pie and effective work the following sug-
gestons from Good Housekeeping may be
found of interest: For library tableeloth
use fine, firm felt, or broadcloth would be
better. Lining of silk or canton flannel is
Indispensable, and silk velvet should DO
used for the applied ornamentation. Cut
from the velvet grape leaves with stems
and tendrils enough to form running
vine border for the CLOTH Basic the pieces
smoothly and securely in place. Cover tho
edges of leaves, stems and tendrils with
narrow gold braid. Simulate veins in tho
leaves and high lights in tho stems with
lighter colored medieval silk in long etch
ing stitches Finish the cloth with tas-
sci fringe of rope silk. An olive green
cloth with grape leaves in very dark rich
green and etching stitches in light green
will be found very satisfactory, or q fawn
colorod cloth with maple leaves in tho au
tumn tints is good combination. The
maple leaves will look well applied in
groups of two and three in place along
the edge of the cloth. The tassel fringe Of
rope silk may be tho shade of the cloth.

Fashions Echoes.

Round waists will continue in favor
through the coming season, except per
haps for stout women, to whom they are
not very becoming.
Plain skirts arc likely to remain plain
but this will be diversified by openings at
the side and sometimes by distinct front
brcadths in evening dresses.
Short circular capcs in volvets Of all
colors meet general want, for most wom-
EN- find them suitable outdoor garments to
be worn with large sleeves.
The erepons Of the shops show that
bright colors will be worn-sea green,
china blue, vieux rose, water cress green
and royal blue.
Substantial tweed and heather mixtures
are ilecked with white, and a suspicion of
light blue here and there gives an added
brightness
Small checks will be worn, all differing
greatly, yet all commendable.
Fancy alpacas appear again, and the
fancy spots interviewer on wooden ground
in plain colors, such as were worn in the
early Victorian era.
Shirt waists continue to multiply in va
riety, and besides the regulation chambray
waist with the stiff turnover collar there
are dainty ones of dotted swiss, striped
with color and made with the soft draped
band at the neck, which can be replaced
by one of satin ribbon.

Flake white is generally considered the
best white in oil cOlors. The quality
varying as it docs with different makers,
has occasionally raised n prejudice against
1t, but good flake white should be safe
both in its own pormancncy and in its
effect upon other colors.
Tho following colors are all that are alb
solutcly necessary for still lifo painting:
Ivory black, bono brown, burnt sienna,
raw lumber, permanent blue antwerp
blue, cobalt zinobcr green, roso madder,
madden lake, vermilion, light rcd, deep
cadmium, light cadmium, yellow ochor,
naples yellow and silver white.
Blotting paper is of the greatest use to
the water colorist. 1t serves when laid
under the drawing paper and wet from
time to time, to keep tho latter moist as
long as may be desired. 1t can be used
for modelling n sky. You lay first a strong
tone over the whole cloud, for instance
and then take up moro or less of the color
with a little roll Of blutting paper on the
side toward tho light. AS often rs Tie roll
Of blutting paper becomes discolOrcd 1t is
thrown away and u fresh ono made, so
that whole sky can DO modelled IL this
way in very short time. II one secs at
onco that enc has laid the wrong tone, it
can be taken up with blotting paper DO
fore it has timo to dry.
In skotching in water colors use me
dunn pencil, rather harder for coarse
grained papers than for tho finer. a soft
pencil should never be used, because the
dust from il will darken and render gray
the lighter tones Of the water colors For
the same reason much shading with tho
pencil SHOULD 30 avoided. 1t will. in gen
eral, be sufficient to indicate lightly the
boundaries Of the several tones which go
to make up form and somewhat more
firmly, but still lightly, proceed to draw
in the outline.

Getting or the Adhesive plaster.

In one family, where there are numer-
Gus sideaches. backaches, bruises and
sprains,. the porous plaster has come to be
recognized institution. Its putting on
IS generally accepted with delight, but
when it comes to the taking off the s'oh,
dearsl" and .'don'tsp' and cries of pain
are many and emphatic. Even after the
plaster is pulled off there is a layer of adj
hesive gum Oh the skin that is struggled
with in all sorts of ways. Sometimes the
razor is employed for scrapiGg, sometimes
a sharp knife is brought into use, and
again soft warm cloth is pressed over.
the spot, and when this has firmly at
tached itself the peeling process goes on.
Now the New York Ledger tells that
those who have occasion to use this appli-
cation will find immediate relief from their
annoyance if they will, after raising one
side of the plaster, wet the surface of the
skin with alcohol, allowing it to run down
as the plaster is pulled little. If any of
tho gummy substance remains, bit of
rag wet with alcohol will cleanse the sur
face almost Immediately This also has
another advantage in that the stimulating
effect Of the alcohol prevents any possible
cold that might be taken on account of the
removal of the warm platter. This is but
triie, but it makes easy something that
has always been a bugbear, especially to
children, and is well worth trying.

DYSPEPSIA AND BADNESS.
Single Hair Is n Sort of History Of the
Physical Condition of an Individual.

Dyspepsia is one of the most common
causes of badness. Nature is a great
economizer, and when the nutrient elo-
ments furnished by the blood arc INSULT
Gent to properly support the whole body
she cuts off the supply to parts the least
vital like the hair and nails, that the
heart. lungs and other vital organs may
be the better nourished. Halls Journal OF
Health says that in cases of severe fevers
this economy is particularly noticeable
A single hair is n sort of history or tho
physical condition of an individual dur
ing the time it has been growing If one
could read closely enough. Take hair
from the beard or from the head ana
sorutinize it, and you will see that IL
shows some attenuated places, indioatin
that at some period of its growth the blood
supply was deficient from oyerworh, anx-
iety or under feeding.
The hair falls out when the strength
of its roots is insufficient to sustain US
weight any longer, and new HAIR VIII
take its place unless the root is diseased
For this reason each person has certain
definite length Of hair. When the hair be-
gins to split or fall out, massage to the
seaIp is excellent. Place the tips OF the
fingers firmly upon tho scalp ana then
vibrate or move the scalp while holding
the pressure steadily. This will stimulate
the blood vessels underneath and BRING
about better nourishment of the hair A
brush of uneyenly tnfted bristies Is also
excellent to use upon the scalp, no6 the
hair.

Judge Wiswell's time was occupied dur
ing the day in hearing the case of Cush
noe Fibre Co. VS.. Holyoke Machine Co OF
Holyoke, Mass. NJ. S. Holway for plain
tiffs; Baker, Baker g. Staples for defend
ants. In this action the plaintiffs seeE
to recover damages for breach of war
ranty in the sale Of two machines called
"wood bankers, +" which the plaintiffs pur
chased in the summer of 1890 for use in
their mill at Augusta.
The plaintiffs claim that the defend
ants represented that the machines would
do satisfactorily and economically the
work for which the plaintiffs wanted them
that is, cutting off the bark and some OF
the outer layers of wood thus getting the
wood ready for the splitter and clipper,
and further that the machines would dc
the required work more satisfactorily than
any other barkers made. The defend
ants claim that owing to defects in con
struction they would not run uniformly,
but became clogged and did their worl,
imperfectly and slowly, and one of them
burst, doing damage to mill and building,
by reason whereof the plaintiffs were
greatly damaged.
The defendants claim that the machines
We're as represented and if properly set and
run would do the work required of them
that large numbers are used in this State

way the plaintiffs complain. Hearing not
