CRUSADE AGAINST TRADE DRINKS.
1t takes a great many drinks to
close some political deals and it also
takes a great many drinks to close some
business deals, In England they call
the drinks us d IN doing business trade
drinks" and many good people OF that
country feel that there are too many
trade drinks" So the British Temper
ance league has begun a special cru
SADIE against such drinks. It's first
move was to hold a meeting at the
Mansion House to see what might be
done about the matter Mr.. Allison, M
F., director of the great Midland
railway, of whose sixty thousand en-
ployes about one-quarter are total alb
stainers, remarked that if a passenger
saw an engine driver receive a bottle
of whiskey While on duty, he would
not only refuse to travel on that train,
but would demand the return of his
money, and probably write a letter to
the newspapers. He didn't know why
bibulous business men should be treat
ed as more sinned against than sin
ming. Another gentleman declared that
it was revolving to see men coming out
Of public houses at 10 o'clock in the
morning, leaving their business to take
care of itself, and yet third member
hoped the item trade drink" would be
removed from accounts. Bargains were
frequently opened with sherry and bit
tiers and closed with bottle Of cham
payne to the ruin of otherwise healthy
constitutions. The more difficult the
business transaction, the more the
drinks" Sir Wilfrid Lawson, the tenn
perance fighter par excellence, said ST.
100000 were spent in intoxicants every
day!
Much that was said at the meeting
didn't have any particular bearing on
the trade drink" custom and no way
was devised to squelch it. But the at
tack on it has begun and progress may
be made. 1t would certainly be a good
thing for all involved in it If it could
be broken up. 1t is one of the lads to
business that business could well af-
ford to do without

RE1SSURING.

The European exchanges were closed
for the Easter holidays when the war
broke out and they did not reopen until
yesterday morning. 1t was understood
that the course Of prices in them yes
terday would indicate the view taken
of the war by the shrewdest men in
Europe. The course Of prices was not
very cheering to the bears. British con-
soils and French rentes fell off slight
ly, but their lowest prices were not as
low as the prices reached in the war
scare few weeks ago. There was no
panic in any of the markets, and the
bears were busy in getting back stocks
that had been sold in anticipation Of
a big scare. Prices rose all around, and
there was plain evidence that Euro
pean fnanciers do not expect any gem
The situation was reassuring to holders
and buyers of stocks in this country
and there was lively and large up
ward movement in the New York stock
exchange. The price of wheat also fell
off sharply, as it did not appear that
Europe was afraid that she wouldn't
have wheat enough to carry on war
with.
OF course one swallow doesn't make
summer, and the course of prices in
one days trading in the stock and
grain exchanges is not conclusive evil
dence concerning the course of Euro
pean politics. But what happened yes
terday is a good sign and will make a
better feeling until something happens
to make the situation seem different
than 1t now seems.

They have some farmers in Georgia.
The Augusta (Georgial Chronicle says:
James NJ, Smith, Of Oglethorpe, Geor-
gia's greatest farmer has just broken
all records of cotton sales from single
plantation by selling to Macon cotton
buyers in one lot over two thousand
bales Of cotton of his own raising. The
cotton was sold on a basis Of seven
cents for middling, and when 1t is all
weighed and shipped Mr.. Smith will re-
ceive a check for about $4,000, This
would be tremendous crop, even If
Mr.. Smith raised nothing but cotton,
but when it Is remembered that he
grows similarly large crops of grain
and hay, and that cotton is his surplus
money crop after producing all the
provision crops he needs, then one can
grasp some idea of the scale on which
Colonel Smith farms, and see the JUS
tlce of calling him Georgias cotton
king

She will have her rights and in getting
them will get the rights of the other
women who, like her, want to serve the

When there is they. must be invited to

FASHION NOTES,
A "Don't" or Two.

A'DOn't'' OF IwO
While it seems as II all the shades Of
the solar spectrum were represented in
current fashionable acceptances, yet
there are don'ts' a-plenty, especially in
the combinations of bright hues Blue
and green as a combination, for in
stance. has become insufferable, but
when you see grass green and turquoise
blue, you fall under the spell again.
Bright purple is distinctly too bright,
and one may well hesitate about risk
ing it. Very dark purple blending into
mulberry tone is richly artistic. Dove
gray is combined with delicate rose,
delicate green, blue or lavender, the
color usually showing in the lining and
the yoke of the skirt.

Gericke, the great German forester,
writes that the greatest ages to which
trees in northern Europe are positively
known to have lived are from 800 to $40
years. The pine in Bohemia and the
pine in Norway and Sweden have lived
to the latter age. Next comes the silver
fir, which has stood and thrived for up
ward of 100 years. In Bavaria the larch
has reached the age Of 275 years. Of
foliage trees the oak appears to have
survived the longest. Evergreen oak
at Aschaffenburg reached the age of 40
years. Other oaks in Germany have
livedHto be from 315 to 800 years old.
The red beech has lived to the age of
245 years. Of other trees the highest
known are ash, ITO years; birch, 100 to
200 years; aspen, 220 years; mountain
maple. 225 years, elm, 1870 years, and red
alder, las years.

Some facts given in the annual report
of the inspectors of a Pennsylvania
prison appear to have bearing on the
opinion expressed by ex-President
Cleveland in his veto of the immlgra-
ton bill that ability to read and write
affords an unsatisfactory test of desira-
BILE citizenship. OF the 623 convicts re-
ceived at the penitentiary last year, 492
had attended the public schools and
thirty-eight had attended private
schools Only ninety-one, or less than
fifteen per cent, were illiterates, while
four-fifths of the whole had enjoyed at
least some of the advantages of the
public educational system. Other sig
niflcant figures show that of the 623
convicts seventy-two only, or less than
twelve per cent, had acquired trades,
thirty-eight by apprenticeship and tilir-
ty-four by other means; $40, or eighty
eight per cent. had no trades.
