10th and February 1st, more often the
fortnight between December 24th and
January 9th. During all this period
there was formerly, and still continues
to be, a spirit Of joy and festivity which
entities it to be called the holidays
The vigil of the Nativity, or as we now
call it, Christmas Eve, was observed
from the first with exceptional devotion,
perhaps because the birth of our Lord
occurred in the night. Unlike other Wig

made, with Christmas itself, one great

Maine Doctors.

The first annual report of the board of
registration of medicine has been submitted
to the Governor and Council. The report
gives to some extent the work of the board
for the year. OF the 1862 persons registered,
1O16 are graduates, and 146 those who have
been practitioners for the three years next
prior to March 81, 1895. The As refused have
been re jected for various causes, the princi-
pal ores being the failure to satisfy the
board that the institutions from which they
claimed to have graduated were legally
chartered medical colleges or universities,
having power to confer degrees in medicine,
or that they have been practitioners of medi-
cine or surgery in this State for the three
years next prior to the passage of the act, or
that they were practicing in Maine at the
time of the organization of the board, to
wit, July 9, 1895. OF the 1915 graduates,
90S report themselves as regulars, 81 as
homeopathic, and II as eclectics; while of
the 146 three years practitioners, 81 claim
to be regulars, 16 homeopaths. 4S eclectics,
botanIcs, and % claim to be eclectcs,
specialists, herbarians, clairvoyant and
botanic, and root and herb and gum doctors.

New Works New Liquor Law.

The Raines law which has ust received
radical changes in the present manage
ment of the liquor traffic in New York
so far as the present supervision of it goes
it is local and it varies somewhat in DIFF
ferent places. But under the Raines law
all regulation of it within the provisions
of the law will be under the control of a
single state board. Enforcement there
fore is likely to be more uniform and more
even. Another important difference be
tween the Kaines law and the present
method of regulation is that all license
features are wanting in the Raines law.
| nder it anybody not convicted of crime
can 90 into the liquor business provided
he pays the tax which the law imposes.
The tax in the cities is very high and in
smaller places as high in proportion. The
expectation is that the tax will prove so
enormous that comparatively few will see
profit enough in the business to pay it and
that the present number of liquor shops
will be diminished. A strong argument
in support Of this feature was that it
would take the saloons out of politics.
The chief objections urged to the bill
We're that the enforcing board was likely
to become political machine and exert
tremendous political power and that the
taxes would go to the State instead of to
the towns and cities in which the saloons
exist. This last objection was urged
chiefly by the cities. 1t is admitted that
the law is an experiment, and that nobody
can exactly forecast its results. Its sup
porters, who predict that it will work well,
rely largely upon the experience with a
somewhat similar law in Ohio, which is
said to have been a succs SIS. Portland

Taxin' Wheels.

There's no such word as "Taxin'" heard
With feelin's of delight,
And taxin' wheels, spoke of at meals,
Jest takes my appetite
Fur wood or steel wheels wheel,
And though not giv'n to braggin',
Still things is so IN bound to know
Four wheels is on my Vaughn.
And if a wheel with rubber peel
That scase'ly teches the road
Is taxed, then my four should be taxed
much more,
Espeshully v hen there's load.
And taxes, when too hard on men,
Bring tightin' in due season:
SO they ought to be fair and applied with
care
And strictly accordln to reason.

jest how these difrent fac's is,
Well let the boys enjoy their toys
Without their payin taxes.
