THE LICENSE VOTE.

New Haven, Conn. tro the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 On the nineteenth of this month there is to be an opportunity for the citizens cT this city to vote for or against the licensing of the saloon. Those who vote for license will vote for legaliz1ng the sale of something which eternally mars the lives of men and women; those who vote against license Will vote against something which often leads to murder and other awful crimes. To vote against license does not mean to vote for free rum as some people are inclined to think. l wish to express what I have to say on the subject by quoting in the columns of your paper short extract, the wording of the quotation being slightly changed in some places.
 "Men and women of New Haven, fa- tfers mothers and citizens, this evil IS one which cannot be driven out unless the Christian people of this place unite to condemn 1t, regardless of results. It is too firmly established. It has it's clutch on business, the municipal hfe and even the church itself. Members of the churches have become involved in the terrible entanglement of the long, established rum-power until to-day we witness a condition of affairs which ought to stir the righteous indignation of every citizen and father. What is it YOU are enduring? An institution which blasts with it's poisonous breath every soul that enters it. which ruins young manhood, which kills more citi- zens in times of peace than the most b1oody WAT ever slew in times of revolution; an institution that is es- tabIished for the open and declared purpose of getting money from the neople by the sale or stuff that creates criminals; an institution that robs the honest workingman of his savings and looks with indifference on the tears of the wife or the sobs of the mother; an institution that has the brand of the murderer, the harlot and gambler burned into it with a brand of the devils own forging, this institution so rules and governs this town of New Haven to-day that the honest citizen trembles before it, business men dare not oppose it for fear of losing money, church members fawn upon it in order to gain place in politics, and minis ters of the gospel confront it's hideous
 
 them even vote for licensing these dens of infamy. It is high time, that we, citizens of New Haven, faced this mon- ster of iniquity and drove it out of the stronghold it has occupied"
 Ministers of Christ, take care not to again wound your Master by voting to license the saloon. Instructors of Yale university, rouse yourselves as citizens and in this next election throw your whole power against license. Oh, all Christian people, now with the cruci- fixion and resurrection of our Master fresh in our minds, I call upon you to throttle this monster of iniquity. call upon you to free this city from this curse first for your own sakes, then for the sake of all those, who, year by year, are sent here from every part of the country.

WHAT ARMY OFFICERS DO
THEY ARE KEPT BUSY AS ANY MAN
 IN PRIVATE LIFE.

Time Does Not Hang Heavily on Their
 Hands-R Responsibilities Which Do Not
 Give Them Much Lelsure-Large Bodies
 of Troops Have to be Moved Quickly.
 Officers of the United States army do not find time hanging heavily on their hands even in the piping times Of peace. Some are assigned to the big government arsenals, where their life is as busy as that of any man con nected with a private factory. They must be at their desks or other posts of duty just as promptly and stick to them just as long as any business man. Others have charge of office work in the various departments, and their life differs in no way from that of a hard-worked public employe ln any government department. The officers who have charge of the maln- tenance of the great and expensive post Notifications have responsibilities which do not give them much leisure Guns, carriages, emplacements, powder magazines, electric and steam plants and scores of lesser cares demand d daily routine of duty which must De followed implicitly.
 The officers in charge of ordnance find enough work in the line of testing, proving and recording to keep them at it day after day as steadily as II they were working for a private busl- ness firm.
 The engineer corps is in demand always. There are dozens of dredging operations to be carried on along the shores of the country from Maine to Oregon, which must be done under the supervision of an engineer officer. All the planning and building of fortlf1- cations. the mounting of guns, the de- signing of gun carriage, the man. tenance of channels in all harbors or the United States, supervision ana examination of bridges over all navigable waterways; care nam tenance and erection of lighthouses come in their department.
 Here are some things that an officer of the United States army has to know if he expects to be ready for any call: Algebra geometry, trigonometry, X astronomy, metallurgy, mechanics, DhOtOgrapny, e1eCtilclly optiS9' '1
 ties, civil and military engineer ing. chemistry, submarine en- gineering, and, of course he must De we'll up in the geography of his coun- try as well as in that of all other places where 1t is at all possible that he will be sent. If he is de- tailed to lay or command sup marine mines he must know enough about the action of tides and waves to understand just how the mines must be laid and to guard against any accident to them. If he Is to take the field where the country is difficult, and large bodies of troops have to be moved quickly, he must be able to build bridges and perhaps to make roads. A knowledge of surveying IS almost indispensable.
 He may be assigned to report on the best powder to use. In that case knowledge of chemistry and an inti- mate acquaintance with explosives will be demanded of him. Hardly any officer who expects to be detailed for any service except the dullest routine duty can afford to be without a knoWl- edge of photography. It is used in all most all departments of the army now. So a, man who wishes to excel in the army can find plenty of work for him. self.

INDIAN ART WORK IN HORN.

A recent issue of the Indian official publication known as the Agricultural Ledger series contains some interesting information respecting art work in bison and buffalo horn. The ornament al work in bison-horn is an industry carried on in the Ratnagiri district by some persons who are also carpenters and metal-workers, and who have &C., quired the art from their forefathers. Bison-horns are used because the ,orna- ments usually made are small stands for offerings in the temples, which the Brahmins could not touch if they were made of coWhorn. The horn is prepar- ed by being kept moist with cocoanut oil, which is said to be much better than the practice in this country of placing the horn in water and then in acid, for the heated oil does not discol- or the horn and gives transluency to
 the manufactured article which it does not obtain by any other process. The horn is then heated before fire,
 when it becomes as soft as wax, and can be pressed into the required form,
 tools and a small lathe completing the design.
 The carving is polished with the rough leaves of tree of the ficus tribe growing in the neighborhood, which form a kind of natural sandpaper. Ad-
 dition ornamentation, which is gener-
 ally of g. simple and graceful kind, is
 done with steel craving tools. Like
 most other native artisans, the Katna-
 girl horn-carvers use very few tools
 a small lathe, a fine saw, pair of clip
 pers, a few graving-tools, and perhaps
 a file forming their whole equipment. The commonest ornament is a sacred bull, supporting a flat tray, with cobra rising out of the middle and
 rearing above it with expanded hood. The figures employed in ornamental tion are those familiar in Indian brass work and embroidery and even rustic mural decoration, and consist of cir cles with regular or undulating circum- ferences, radiating lines, loops and rings, arranged in graceful convention al patterns. In Bengal ornaments of
 buffalo-horn are made at Monghyr,
 and consist chiefly of necklaces and similar objects of personal adornment. Combs are made in Dacca, where about a hundred Mahammedans are engaged in their manufacture. A special caste in Balasor on the coast below Cal eutta, make horn walking-sticks. In Madras black horn is worked by the Vishnu Brahmins of Vizagapatam, who make beautiful bezique boxes, | plotting book covers, card eases, pie ture frames, and the like.-London | Spectator.

TREATING FLOORS FOR RUGS
 AND CARPETS.

Very favorite methods of increasing the beauty of a room are to stain and polish it's floor, and strew rugs about; but this same floor often becomes thorn in the flesh of the inexperienced housewife.
 The simplest treatment is as follows: When a thoroughly smooth surface has been secured, let the floor be we'll scrubbed, and then left to dry, after which either of the two following pro- cesses can be carried out-they are both equally good. Put on one or two coats of size, remembering that the subsequent success of the staining and vanishing will greatly depend on the careful application of this. Next use the ordinary oak stain, light or dark according to taste, and when this is quite dry, lay on the floor coat of varnish. This must be done with fiat brush, which will be found to work more smoothly than round one. Any painter or decorator will supply the varnish: only be careful to have it mix ed with quick driers, and, above all. do not use the room until this last appli-
