The following is published 10y diree-

vote passed at the last meeting:

forced. Perhaps some do not realize
the extent To which drinking is going
on in our town. If one could realize
how many parents are worrying about
their boys, how many homes are sad
dened by the curse, perhaps some of the
indifference would disappear, and men
would awake and say that this thing
shall not go on.
At the last meeting motion was
made that the league petition the gov
ernor of the state to appoint special
constables for the enforcement of the
prohibitory law in Somerset county.
After some discussion the motion was
tabled and will come up at the meeting
next Monday evening. Every man who
is interested in the welfare of the town
is invited to be present and express his
opinion upon this question.

won,d Delight tho South.

1t is undoubtedly fact that war
with Great Britain or with any other
foreign country would be hailed with
the greatest delight by the young men
of the south. Nearly third OF the
officers Of the lower grades of the regu-
lar army are southern men, graduates
Of the military academy at West Point
since the war. While the southerners
have really nothing to complain OF In
the matter of the general division OF
things in the makeup Of the govern
ment, still a feeling is manifest with
them that a war which would bring the
men Of the two sections together In biv-
ouac and march and cause them to fight
side by side in battle under the same
flag, is almost a necessity to make the
true feeling of patriotic unity and
homogeneous autonomy complete and
irrevocable. There Is feeling among
the older southerners that Great Brit
ain could have made 1t possible for
them to have succeeded in the war Of
the rebellion and that her only reason
for holding back was because she could
make more money out Of them by
furnishing supplies through running
the blockade.-Philadelp Star.

The Welcome Stranger" which was
discovered on Feb. 5, 1869, weighed
more than 2.2S0k ounces, and was
found on the extreme margin of
patch of alluvium trending from Bull
dog Reef, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. 1t was lying In loose,
gravelly loan, resting on stiff. red clay,
within two feet of the sandstone bed
rock, and was scarcely covered with
earth. The Dascomb nugget, found at
Bendigo in 1852, weighed 1882 ounces.
and was lying only one foot below the
surface. A nugget found at Mount
Korong, Victoria. in 1856. weighed 225
ounces, 13 pennyweights. and was also
but one foot below the surface.
At Kingower, Victoria, in 1880, mug
get weighing 230 ounces was found on
the surface, and in 1861 one weighing
236 ounces was found only half an inch
below the surface in the same locality.
At Mount Blackwood. Victoria, in 1865,
a nugget weighing 24O ounces. Is penny
weights, was picked up on the surface,
and at Meroo creek, tributary OF
Turon river, New South Wales, one
was found in 1851 which weighed 1,272
ounces, right on the surface. From
these. and several other instances, we
see that it is not necessary for large
nugget to rest on the bedrock.

to Spain Of the rebellion in Cuba as
$50, 900, 900 so far, and estimate the cost
for the present year at $4,000, 900. The
Spanish loss in soldiers is given as 406
killed and 3,472 died of disease; the
number of wounded is not given. There
have been $4,000 men already sent to

Women who lead sedentary lives need
to be much more attentive to their diet
than those who get plenty Of outdoor
exercise They should drink a good
deal of cold, but not iced, water before
breakfast, and more before going to

meal. Steamed figs are excellent for
them. The lean red meats are more
