The Clty FUNDS Made Up by Trans-
fers.
OAKLAND, CAL, June 29.-By the
iudicious use of the transfer privileges the
City Council hopes to close the fiscal year
tomorrow night without the anticipated
deficit.
Auditor Snow said to-day that by max
ing certain transfers from the general
fund and paying the Oakland Gas, Light
and Heat Company's bills out of the de-
linquent-tax fund the city would get
through without deficit. Several of the
funds are short. The street-light fund has
been depleted since April. The police
fund is some $4,000 short and others of
smaller amounts

EMPLOYERS ARE AIDING.

Growing Sentiment In All Lines of Bust
ness Against Use of Alcoholic Stimu-
lants.
1t is interesting and encouraging to
note that, upon economic grounds, the
employers of labor, in increasing num-
bers, are finding it desirable to require
abstinence from intoxicants on the
part of those whom they employ, at
least while on duty. A civil engineer,
who is much interested in the temper
ance reform, calls our attention to the
following extract from specifications
for an improved sewerage system in
Providence, +. l.: "(67) The contractor
shall not furnish, nor allow others to
furnish, spirituous liquors to the work.
men in his employ, or to any person or
persons on or about the line of the
work. This provision is understood as
prohibiting entirely the use of ardent
spirits as above" We hail every such
practical protst against the use of in
toXicants as foreshadowing the better
time coming when injurious social
drinking usages will be abolished alto

in infancy and even in the a0s, the
hereditary alcoholic is marked, and
clearly shows the marks of his origin.
Insanity of this kind is extremely pre-
cocious, just as the child had number
of insane ancestors. Such insanity
sometimes appears before the period
of adolescence; but more frequently
at the moment of its appearance. DR..
Legrain gives many cases to prove this
from his clinique.
The disastrous influence of the
drunkenness of parents ought, we may
surmise, to be more intense when both
parents are addicted to drink. In so
such families the posterity amounted
to 287. Of these unfortunate children,
rs were found to be backward; "a were
insane; 81 were drunkards; 30 were
epileptic and hysterical; 81 had in
fantile conclusions; SO were either born
dead or died early; were morally in
sane, and IL had meningitis. This is
picture of human misery which we rec

Prophylaxis, says our author with
much TRUTH is the medicine of the 5u-

A TOWN WITHOUT LIQUOR.


toxicating Drink.
The rector of Hangesund, in Norway,
has called attention to the fact that it
has had no intoxicating liquors sold in
it for 20 years. He says: People are
so welded to the thought of the neces-
sity of such dealing that they in full
earnest ask: "A town without sale of
spirits--how can that be?' The answer
is just to the contrary; we can't i'm
1gine how it would do to have it. No
body misses it, except people used to
"a toddy,' who may order it from other
places, or housekeepers who want a
bottle of brandy for dressing certain
dishes. That's all. For the rest, the
town is in a most excellent condition.
Here is a most astonishing sobriety, an
intoxicated individual being almost a
prodigy. Some beer shops (four) we
have, but doubt if they prosper very
much. But smuggling, you may guess,
of spirits is rife? No; far from it, it is
very seldom heard of, while there more
frequently occurs illicit sale of beer,
strange to say, though this beverage is
licensed under certain restrictions"

nothing wasted. If hogs arc overfed
1t knocks them off their regular feed
for a time, and this is always u loss;
besides, it renders the inception of
disease much easier, especially the
"thumps" and apoplexy. 1t is best to
feed regularly, at stated times, and
when fattening, all that they will cat

thrive better than is possible by keep

Norwegian Women Vote Against Saloons

Under the Norwegian system it will
be remembered that every resident in
n locality, whether man or woman,
above 25 years of age, has a right to
vote on the question of establishing
or continuing n samlag or dispensary
for the sale of spirits in the town or
borough. There are 10 samlags whose
concessions expire this year. In two
of these-Gjovik and Arendal-the vote
has created considerable excitement.
But in both places the women's vote
has closed the saloons. 1t is generally
anticipated that the same result will
transpre in the other places. All
honor to the gallant women of Norway!

DESTROYING WEEDS.
Description of the CockIebur and How to
Fight Its Advances.

Fight Its Advances.
The cocklebur is a rapidly-gruvlng,
coarse weed with an irregularly branch
ing stem that grows to a height of from
one to two feet The leaves, which are
borne on long leaf stalks. are broadly
triangular in general outline and more
or less toothed and lobed on the Dor
ders. There are two kinds of flowers
horne on separate heads or clusters on
the same plant. The male or staminate
flowers are produced in roundish heads
at the top of the stem. After shedding
their pollen these drop off, and the
female or pistillate flowers, which are
in clusters of two or three at the base
of the male spike, enlarge and form
thick, hard, oblong burs beset with stiff
hooked prickles, and bearing two strong
beaks at the III per end. These burs.
like those of the burdock, adhere to
clothing and the coat of animals. The
