THE SALOON.

The regulations that compel the sa-
loon keeper to remove screens and side
doors has not proved effective in the
cities. 1t has enabled the police to en-
force the laws to better advantage, but
1T has not materially lessened the evils
OF intemperance. Just so long as the
community legalizes the sale of liquor
all schemes for limiting it's evil effects
are largely futile. Just SO long as the
making of alcoholic liquors is permit
ted, and the Government of the United
States derives vast revenue from it.
attempts to materially limit its uses
will fail 1t is most unfortunate that
it is SO. But SO it is.
Some years ago a crank in New
York City sent a petition to the mayor
of the city, demanding that all houses
should be made Of glass, and, there
fore, be open TO inspection. He rea-
soned In this way: Crimes against
the law, violations of the moral law
are always committed in secret; the
of crime cannot be obtained; make
houses of glass and thoroughly trans
parent, and there will be no crime, or
the evidence of it will be easily Sc
cured; orgies will not be carried on,
If the crowd can stand by and look on;
family life will be vastly improved if
the neighDors can stand across the
street and study it's manifestations In
fact, this crank, insisted that glass
houses would end hypocracy and, as
he said, the millennium would come in
with a bang The Mayor simply re-
piled that this scheme was imprac-
ticable.
The evil of intemperance will be
best fought by right conditions, and
not by repression. We found here that
the effective way to fight cholera was
not by treating people who had been
exposed to it, and had taken it, but to
establish such condition of things
that the disease could not exist The
spread of cholera in place is an ex-
preston of the bad sanitary condi-
tions. The saloon is an expression of
our civilization. The Government is
an expression of our social condition. |
The Church is an expression of our |
moral condition. Remove the filth and |
stop the breeding of microbes and there |
is no more cholera Improve the phys |
ical and moral condition of men, and |
the saloon goes. SO will go also the |
Jail and the gallows. Make men per-
feet morally, and the Church will also |
go. But evils are generally fought from |
the other end of the line, that.is, by |
not changing conditions. There can
be no effective movement against in
so long as the government
permits brandy to be made from
grapes, and whiskey from corn. The
advocates of temperance play really
losing game when the expense of the
war for humanity is betrayed out of the
tax ON beer and whiskey.
Whether the screens and side doors
of the saloon are removed or not, is a
mere trivial incident in reconstructing
the thirst of the race. Let us first re-
move the thirst

Croquettes.

The secret of having croquettes firm,
lies in their being mixed for long
time. The meat should be chopped very
fine after being freed from all fat and
gristle, and about half pint of milk
allowed to each pint of meat. The milk
should be put over the fire while ia
blespoonful of butter and 2 tablespoon
fuls of flour are rubbed together. The
hot milk is then added, and the whole
cooked to a thick, smooth paste. Mean
time to pint of chopped meat is added
a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, salt
and pepper to taste, the grated rind Of
a lemon, and teaspOonful of onion
juice, if that is liked, or some cooks
simply rub a halved onion over the
mixing bowl The seasoned meat is then
stirred into the paste and the whole
turned out to cool. The meat should be
allowed to stand for at least 2 hours be-
fore it is nodded into croquettes. Dip
first in eggs, then in bread crumbs, and
fry in smoking hot fat. Powdered shred
ded biscuits will be found a pleasant
variety to the bread crumbs. 1t is a
caution, by the way, in the use of these
biscuits, where bread crumbs are re-
quired, that they are very unsuccessful
in escalloped tomatoes. They are too
starchy, evidently, to be of use there,
and they form a gummy mass that is
not appetizing, New York Post.

The Haitian Generals Glass Eye.

A Haitian general having lost an eye
in battle sent to Paris for an artificial
one. The maker sent in return one of
his best. Shortly after the general re-
turned it, with the remark that the eye
was too yellow and recalled to his mind
the Spanish flag, adding at the same
time that he would wear only an eye
having the colors of his own country.
The maker thereupon made one with
red and green predominating, these be
ing the Haitian colors. This SO pleased
the general that instead of wearing the
eye as originally intended he added it
to his collection of medals. - Post

DoMEsTIcecoNoMYp PUZZLE
She Could Get the Answer, but stnI She
Wondered.

Wondered.
A dear little woman up on Capitol
hill married and went to housekeeping
in the most determined manner. She
set to work to keep an exact account Of
her expenditures. balancing her books
regularly once a month. One of her
earliest purchases was an ice ticket for
the season. 1t cost, believe, $40.
A month later, in making up her &C
counts it occurred to her that that $40
should be divided proportionately among
the several months mentioned on the
ticket in order to give to each days ac-
count only the amount Of money actual
ly expended ON that day. Also she
wished to calculate and set down the
number Of pounds Of ice used each day.
The problem had several ramifcations
which have forgotten but, at any rate,
it was exceedingly difficult, and the
housewife covered sheet after sheet Of
paper with her calculation. The ar
rival of her husband found her dishevel-
ed and in state Of evident distress.
"What in the world is the matterf"
he asked The wife explained.
"Well, can't you get any answer
without that fguring?" be asked. The
wife's eyes began to blink rapidly and
she shifted suspiciously.

a Destructive Fire.

Two large and valuable barns on the

destroyed by fire on Saturday afternoon
July End with entire contents. In one
burn Mr.. Hill had just secured fine crop
of hay, between eight and ten tons.
He also lost rye, oats, rye and oat straw,
corn, one fine market wagon much valuable
machinery, all farming implements, tools
and harness Mr. Hill was away from
home at the time. but the neighbors came
promptly and though unable to save but
very little from the burning barns, pre-
vented with much difficulty the flames
from reaching the dwelling and other out
buildings A fine lot of hogs were barely
driven from their pen in time to be saved,
the pen being quickly consu ned by the
greedy flames The loss is very heavy

tie Mutual Fire Insurance Co., of Mont

ly large and commodious, and their value
was much above the amount of insurance.
