Punishment For IntoxicatiOn In
Denmark.

The police in Denmark have a
curious way of dealing with the drunk
md incapable found in the streets.
they summon cab and place the
patient inside IL, then drive to the
station, where he gets sober; then
nome, where he arrives sober and sad.
The agents never leave him till they
nave seen him safe in the family
bosom. Then the cabman makes his
charge, and the police surgeon makes
his, and the agents make their own
claim for special duty, and this bill is
presented to the host of the establish
ment where the culprit took his last
overpowering glass. The pubicans,
however, have III several towns pro-
tested against this system. They say
the proofs are often insufficient and
the police surgeons too summary in
their examinations; further, that
many notorious evil-doers sham drunk
in order to get the landlord in trouble.
They therefore claim that they shall
have their own doctor to examine
certain cases and defend the publican
interest -Tit-Bits.

long as the Republicans of the North

South with negro domination, just so
long will cur section of the country

SIT is too bad that ex- President Har-
rison has not outgrown his prejudice
against the Southern people. The
editorial in recent issue of the In
dianapnlis Journal, stating that if the
Republicans came into power again
they will pass another Force Bill, has
done more to injure our prospects in
the South than anything that could
have happened to us. Already the
Journal is trying to craw fish and say
that it was misunderstood that they
did not want to interfere with the pro-
gress of the South by raising the
Force Bill issue again. r.

A writer in Farm, Field and Fire
side does not believe that the horse
will be shelved by the wheel, and
hopes that in the future the horse will
sell for $3.50, while the wheel will sell
for $25, then it will be fashionable to
have the former rather than the latter.
This writer would encourage breed
ing for that horseman's millennium,
which is hardly good advice to give his
readers, as the horse has not the wheel
alone to contend with, but the many
inventions designed to take, Sand in

bered horses tor traction aud trans
portation purposes. Que Of the latest
of these is the country electric railway,
projected at Lancaster, Ohio, which
will run distance of Is miles right
through the country, with a shorter
branch of six miles. Connected with
tae passenger car will be the produce
and truck car. These routes will un-
doubleday pay from the first day they
are built Farmers along the line are
quite iubilant over the situation.
They can now go to the towns and
transact their business at less ex-
pense than it costs to feed their horses,
and ride all the way in comfortable
covered car, getting on and off at their
various doors along the line. This a
beginning of the electric transit sys.

road methods of travel by team
Anothed method, proved practicable,
and soon to be largely in vogue, is
that of light, pneumatic-tired vehicles,
propelled at high speed by vapor en-
gines. Then the future horse breeder
must compete, probably, with the
automobile wagon that inventors are
hard at work perfecting, and of
which successful competitive road
trials have been just given. In view
of thess things, we fail to see how the
price Of the horse can be expected to
advance materially.
