DOES NOT PROHIBIT.

It appears that prohibition doesn't prohibit in Norway any more than it does in Maine or Vermont. About five years ago the prohibitionists of Nor way, encouraged by the decrease of dunkenness, effected during the twen- ty-three years the Gothenburg system was in force, secured the enactment of law absolutly forbidding the sale of spirits. The principle of local option was established, and every town was to determine by the votes of it's women as we'll as men whether the "samlag" was to be continued. The samlag, it
 may be explained, is the Norwegian for company" Under the Gothenburg system the sale of spirits by individuals was abolished. Companies organizing sales, having a monopoly within a given area. The new law authorizing municipalities to prohibit sales, even by samlags, was received by the people of some towns with much enthusiasm. The total abstinence party, aided large ly by the women, threw themselves into the "dry" campaign with the greatest vigor. In the fifty-one towns having samlags, ranging from Christiania, with 100000 inhabitants, to Levanger, with 1,200, the total abstainers almost were uniformly successful. The change was to be introduced gradually. In September, 1896, fourteen towns had abolished samlags temporarily-for a new vote may be taken after five years
 and but four retained them. Later in that year they were abolished in six teen towns and retained in but eight
 Next year, however, they were retained in ten towns and abolished in but five
 In the present year polling has taken place in eleven towns, with the result that the "dries'' were victorious in but four. The cause of this ehbing of the prohibition tide is supposed to be found III the tact that there IS not, as was expected, greater sobriety in towns where spirits cannot be had for ''con- sumption on the premises" Statistics obtained from the chief of police in each town where the samlag was sup pressed indicate increased drunken ness. The reports are almost unani- nous in declaring that there has been a general increase of drunkenness. In some towns the arrests for drunken ness have nearly doubled. The in creased tipsyness is ascribed to the use l of ''Laddevin,'' kind of cheap port wine, full of spirits, made in Ger | many" The suppression of the samlag l has stopped the sale of brandy and

4 SUGG EsTIoN.

Is it too much to ask of the college professors, the ministers, ard the other lights and leaders n this country who do not approve of the war with Spain that they declare themselves neutral and then keep their injudicious and un- timely mouths closed until the war is over? They ought to be willing to do as much for their country as Uruguay and China are willing to do for it. They live in the United States and they enjoy the protection thereof a protection they would gladly seek if the cruel Spaniards should show up in their neighborhood. Therefore it does not look proper for them to be openly talk ing stuff that seems almost reasonable to some, and that can be made use of by the enemy to spread the notion that this is a divided country The war can not be prevented now, and it is no time to ridicule or carp at Uncle Sam while he is shaking the devil out of the Span iards.

 Around the bottom was first a pinked frill of gray silk, and over that a ruf11e of black gauge ribbon, this trimming running up both sides of the front and bordering the stole ends. Black satin, pinked silk and ribbon bows entered into the collar.
 The French heel is again to be worn. Some women simply cannot wear the heavy, sensible walking shoe that has been prescribed for all but dancing and house wear for several seasons. Such women have heroically worn the tailor man-shoes, and have managed to walk
 in them, but the poor feet have, suf- fered. To such women nothing is com fortable or does justice to their foot but a thin soled, flexible, high heeled shoe, and such has been out of the question for the street. Some women who can walk miles and like it in a high heel French slipper, cry with pain at a blocks walk in heavy walking shoe. Those who feel that way may again put themselves into the sort of
 shoe they like. It is admitted that if we are to hold up our clinging skirts we must show shoe more picturesque than the big flat things that have of late been accounted both sensible and correct.
 On the new millinery the very long, natural coIored quills appear curved gracefully. They either stand as up- right as the curve lets them, or lie flat
 around the hat, the curve following
 the line of the hats trimming. Among the straight fiat quills some enormous ly broad are shown, dyed black on the face and brilliant contrast at the back, the face being studded with great
 spangles of jet or white metal. Be-
 sides the spangles there is an edge of rhine-chips so the result is white
 flash of light that sets the rest of the

What's New in Capes.

Capes are more interesting this spring than jackets are because they are in greater variety and therefore present more novelties. Cloth capes are many, but one such, in pale gray shade, was chosen for the accompany ing picture because of it's very unusual shape. It was made with moderately full sweep around the bottom and with long stole ends in front, the surface of the cloth being decorated with applique trimming of cutout lace patterns, the
