THE 14W AND ORDER LEAGUE.

The bill to incorporate the Law and Order League of Connecticut, which
 was introduced in the legislature yester.
 day, is interesting and important. The
 object of the corporation is declared to
 be to promote industry, prosperity,
 good order and obedience to law
 throughout the State, to collect and dis
 seminate information bearing upon these subjects, and to assist in the en-
 forcement of laws relating to chastity,
 gaming and intoxicating liquors. It is
 proposed to do this work through the
 appointment by the Governor of agents
 of the League with power to make ar
 rests, and the appointment by the cor
 poration of one or more persons who
 after their appointment has been ap- proved by judge of the Superior court, shall have the right to assist prosecut- ing officers in the trial of cases if such officers ask their assistance. Reasona- ble provision is made for the payment of the agents and the assistant prosecut- ors, and it is provided that one-half of all fines and moneys, exclusive of costs, collected or received in cases brought or prosecuted upon information furnished by the said league, its officers or agents, shall be forthwith paid to it by the treasurer first receiving the same, and a memorandum thereof shall be filed by him with the Comptroller. But the amount paid to the league is not to ex- ceed $5,00O in any one year.
 This bill will excite much discussion, but it can be said in favor of it that the Law and Order league has amply shown the need of its organization and work, that it has already been the means of bringing into the public treas ury money enough to pay all it asks from the State for several years, that 1t would probably continue to more than pay the cost of maintaining it. in addition to the good it would do, and that it's plan is conservative and req sonable. Against it we suppose will be urged that the present legal machin- cry is sufficient, And the reply that can be fairly made to this is that though it may be sufficient the work already done by the Law and Order league has shown that it isn't as efficient as it might be.

REroRmER .Iosr AGArN


 It now appears that St. Louis was not fully and fairly represented at the the atre visited by Reformer Henry Jost the other evening. It will be remembered that Reformer lost found himself seat ed behind a big theatre hat, and that in protest against the situation he put on his own high silk hat. The point he tried to make was not seen, he was hiss- ed and booted at as disturber of the peace, he was taken out of the theatre by a policeman and the next morning he was fined five dollars. The whole affair was strong evidence that the peo- pie of St Louis are neither sagacious nor fair-minded. But it is pleasing to see equally strong evidence that some of them are. Reformer Jost is receiving much commendation for his manly ef- fort in behalf of equal rights. The newspapers of the city have taken up the matter and are collecting money to pay his fine. Of course the shame that has been brought upon the city by the treatment of Reformer Jost cannot be entirely removed, but it can be made plain that the performance is not gem erally approved by public opinion. Re- former Jost will have his fine paid. He should also have memorial, placed on a suitable site.

Medicines of Bxrone Days.

Nearly everything in the animal kingdom was formerly used in the heal ing art, says Juius Stinde, German writer. In the oldest medical book now known, composed in Heliopolis, where once Joseph served in the house of Potiphar, we find means for increas- ing the growth of hair, prepared for Schesch, the mother of Teta, the King of Upper and Lower Egypt"
 Dogs teeth, overripe dates, and asses hoofs were carefully cooked iii oil and then grated. As Teta lived before Che ops, this recipe for hair-oil is older than the great pyramid at Gizeh, and Is sup posed to date back more than six thou sand years. The heads of venomous serpepts have held an important place in medicine. A strong broth, made from them and mixed with salt and spices and a hundred other remedies, was employed under the name of The- riac, as a cure for every conceivable disease. Three drops of the blood of an angry black cat gave relief to the epi- leptic.
 Even now animal preparations are officially used, as sperm wax, tallow, swine fat, pepsin, musk, cochineal, etc, but the nasty mixtures have disappeared. When bleeding and cupping were considered important, leeches held the third place for this purpose; and in the Paris hospitals, be- tween 1929 and 1886, from five to six million leeches were used annually,

softening Influence of Women in Politics

From Harper's Weeky.]
 Word comes from Colorado, where women are now fully enfranchised, that on Tuesday. January 22d, a legislator stood up in the legislative hall and spoke of certain women as "hatchet- faced things" Three women who were sitting as representatives heard him, and each took vigorous exception to his epithet. Thus we see how promptly the softening influence of woman in poli- tics shows itself after once the fran chise is granted. The Colorado women abolished the abusive Waite, and doubtless they will presently break the Colorado legislators of the habit of call ing names in meeting. A Colorado man discloses to the Weekly his opinion that women as office-holders are not in favor in Colorado, and that it is lin- likely that more of them will be elected. Which is interesting if true, but it is possible that the opinion of a Colorado man in such matter should be taken with salt.

might enjoy 1t as sort of frozen tub. race. As matter of fact, though, a cake of ice In the hands of a Russian boy will make a very good and rapid sled He saws out block that is longer than it is thick, and about high enough for a comfortable seat. Then he scoops out hollow like a saddle a little back of the middle of the upper surface, and upholsters 1t with straw or rags It is then ready for it's first trip down hill and if the rider is skilful he will make very good time on it, But carrying it back to the top of the incline would be too hard work for even Russian boy, and pushing it up hill would be about as bad. A clever lad once thought of better way, and all other boys have copied him ever since. He found good rye straw and began blowing through it at the front of the block with the end of the straw close to the ice Soon he had little hole in the block, as neatly drilled as a steel tool could have done it. In the course of an hour and a half he had driven a hole slantwise through the ice, coming out at the top just in front of the saddle. A stout string passed through the hole and knotted complet- ed his sled, which could then be drawn up hill almost as easily as the best coaster that ever was made. If boy is careful of his ice sled-and he is apt to be careful for considerable work is necessary to make one-it will last all winter. Imagine him freezing on a new set of runners when the old ones have worn out!

The panels of the godet skirts are oft
 en matched by similar ornamentation on the bodice, a device sthat is ingen- iously expressed in this picture. Here in old blue cloth is garnished with white cloth and blue applique. Prln- cess of cut and fastening diagonally in front, the gown has a pointed white yoke and a large fancy collar of the same, both being appliqued with blue. These harmonize with skirt panels and the same ornamentation appears on the turned back cuffs Oxidized silver but tons set off the waist.
 Velvets are not used at all for skirts, but they are being put into bodices and promise to run the lighter fabrics hard. Plaid and check velvets are both in vogue, as well as mirror effects Then there are bright green, cerise and emi- hence. all much worn by advanced folk. Sleeves are enormous, extending straight out in, the shoulder line and narrowing sharply to the wrist. This Is the most popular sleeve for all but evening and very dressy gowns.
 Sun pleated chiffon Is very pretty and costs enough to make 1t popular with the class of women who are always worried because pretty things are so soon put at the disposal of the million. This new kind of pleating makes the folds spread in rays from center. Whole skirts are made in this way, the rays starting from the belt. Bodices of chiffon to be worn over silken lin- ing are pleated so that the folds form two sun ray centers, one at each side of the front at the bust line. These are hard matters for ordinary folk to copy economically. tFBORETTE.

A Close Bargain.

A man, notorious for his "nearness," lately went into butchers and inquir- el the price of a soup bone. The pro- prietor of the shop is a generous fellow, and in answer to the old mans ques- tion he said, "Oh, I'll give you that"
 The customer put his hand to his ear. He is somewhat hard of hearing, and had missed the others reply.
 Can't you take something off that?" he asked.
 The butcher took pity on him.
 Yes" he said, "calE it twopence"
 And the old man went home with a comfortable sense of having made a bargain.

 It has been expected that the time would come when every house would be connected with the postoffice by a pneumatic tube, but that idea may be put out of consideration by the in- genious and apparently practical plan of Chicago electrician. The device is to distribute mail matter over the roofs of buildings by electric cars tray cling on a wire cable The inventor says he has discovered a new principle of harnessing the electric current with out the use of a return wire. He de- clines to explain the peculiarity of his motor, which, he says, does away with the necessity of a return wire or storage batteries. He has succeeded in con- vincing the postal authorities that his plan is practical, and an experiment will be made at an early day, permis- sion having been granted by the city council. It is estimated that a saving in time over the present method of fifty minutes in every hour can be made. The cost of construction Is put at $250 mile. A description of the motor and carrier by the inventor is as follows: The whole arrangement weighs thirty-two pounds The motor alone weighs eighteen pounds and it's strength is one-fourth horsepower as proved by actual tests. It will be

Canadian revenues are falling short this year and show a deficit of over 9 million so far. Last year at this time the treasury had a surplus of over $2,OOO,OoO, so. that the real loss as compared with a year ago is between SS,OOO,0O0 and $4,OO0,OOO. The estimated net deficit for the year is about S6,- 100000. The cause of the deficit is the decrease in customs receipts due to smaller imports, rather than unusual government expenditures. The con- servative government has been liberal in it's distribution of money for sub sidies and public works, and has loaded the treasury pretty well with obliga- tions which are and will be maturing for some time, but had revenues kept up the deficit would have been small.

The young folks of Syracuse, New York, are delighting themselves with an elegant pastime known as the 'onion social" Six young ladies stand in a row; one of them bites a piece out of an onion. The gentlemen, who have been shut out of the room, are let in, and pay 10 cents apiece for the privi- lege of guessing who bit the onion. The correct guesser kisses the other five girls, and the fellows who failed to guess correctly are condemned to kiss the girl who really did the biting.

The body of murdered man at st. Louis was discovered by means of his pet dog. After his master disappeared the dog acted strangely and his curious antics were noticed by the policemen who were detailed on the case. The dog was evidently trying to attract attention, and when 1t saw the police men had noticed it's efforts it led, the way over the frozen ground to a rude mound in stuffy little cave in hill- side, and there the body of Morton was found. The dog seemed overjoyed, and by its barks and leaps expressed its pleasure, When the body was ex- posed it's affection for it's dead master was expressed most forcibly. The mur- derer has been apprehended and has confessed.

A case of electricity generated by a plate of false teeth occurred recently in England. A man feeling a severe pain in his tongue consulted a doctor and a dentist, neither of whom could find anything wrong. He then went to an electrician, who found that his false Eeeth were fastened to the composition plate with two metals; they were con- nected by wires to a galvanometer, which, as soon as the metals were moistened by the saliva, showed cur rent strong enough to cause ulceration and severe pain. The plate was cov- cred with an insulating varnish, which put an end to the trouble.
