THE LANGUAGE OF ASSENT.

London Globe: There are endless ways
of saying NO" and assent Gamble ex-
pressed in equally varied ways. Mr.. Kip!
ling's neolithic poet informs us that
There are nine and sixty ways Of con-
structing tribal lays.
And every single n of them is right!
The same may be aid Of the language
of assent. 1t has an ample vocabulary.
There is the negative affirmative, for in
stance. AS Bret Harte's stage-driver
says at the conclusion Of his wondrous
story of the coach hat travelled down the
Geiger grade on three wheels, then two,
and finally for 200 yards or more on one:
Who swerves from the truth in his tale
No, thank you-Well, since you are
pressing,
Perhaps l don't care if I do: you may
give me the same, Jim-no sugar.!
"I don't mind if ] do" is quite q familiar
form of assent in some circles-especially
to such offers as the stage-driver grac-
iously accepted.
The variations in public methods of ex-
pressing assent are curious. Every one

the ordinary criminal stood little show in

the ordinary criminal stood little show in
attaining notoriety through his skill as
an expert.
In one instance, a Kansas judge SEN
fenced a man to is years in the peniten-
tiary for selling Is glasses of beer. He
one year on each Indictment. In Iowa
a man could be sent mp for three years
if convicted of Illegally selling his third
glass of beer. But these extreme meas
ures gradually passed away. The law
became a dead letter in most places and
was finally repealed, a local option law
being substituted for it in Iowa.
But the prohibition leaders have since
been restless under enforced political re-
tirement. They nave longed for an OPP
'p%ortunity to again get to the fr%ontr-for a
time when the legislative assembly would.
be made up chiefly of preachers and SUM-
day school superintendent. Hence a
state prohibition convention was held in
Des Moines yesterday, and Rev. F. l..
Eaton, a Methodist clergyman OF that
city. nominated for governor of Iowa.
The present governor of Iowa, Mr. L. NJ
Shaw, is not only an arden member Of
the Methodist church, but a Sunday,
school worker of statewide reputation.
But he is not acceptable to the prohibi-
tionists because he was not elected on
the prohibition ticket, and evidently does
not care to compel other men to adop
the personal habits which he finds salts
factory to himself.
The chief aim Of the prohibition move
ment in owa is to divide the republican
party and make democratic success a
possibility, hoping in this way to seduce
the republicans into again championing
the cause that so nearly wrecked them in
gone by,

VERY FEW CROSSED THE OCEAN.

Philadelphia Inquirer: Ex-President
Harrison will spend the summer abroad
in the performance of his duties as coun-
sci for Venezuela in III boundary dis
pute with Great Britain. Our presidents
in recent years have mostly been home
keeping folks.
Mckinley and Cleveland have never
been across the ocean. Neither had
Lincoln nor Andrew Johnson.
We believe that General Hayes was
among the presidents whose lives were
too full Of domestic work to permit them
to cross the ocean. President Hayes
fought through the civil var then he was
governor of Ohio. and 0eerward presi-

DEAR SlR:-The two small bottles Of
water which you sent from the a~.tesiar
wells in your town were duly received
and a qualitative analysis of both wa,
made. The quantity Of water sent per.
mitted only a qualitative test,
The two waters are practically the
same. No. l (the upper well) had So. 4
grains f mineral matter per gal while
No, 2 had 57.4. The competition of
these two waters is approximately as
follows;
Carbonate Of soda from 40 to As grs.
per U. S. gallon The balance of the
mineral matter is principally sodium
chloride or common salt. There is also
present a small quantity of carbonate Of
lime, magiesia and potash.
The artesian water which we have at
the College has a very similar compost.
ton, except that the total mineral mat
ter is about ten grains per gal. less than
is the case with your wells. We find
ON water very satisfactory for domestic
use and an wers fairly well for station
AIRY steam boilers. In my Judgment the
water you have would not be adapted
for use in locomotive boilers.
Yours truly,
W l.. HUTCHINSON,
Director.
