The Russian government is experienc- ing great difficulty in it's efforts to re- strict the almost universal use of liquor among the laboring>c classes. The Minis CT of Finance says the government is anxious Ito save the population from the baneful influence of the innkeepers, who in order to make large profits adul- terated their spirits with noxious and deleterious substances which were prov ing ruinous to the lower classes. The average peasant was not content with remaining in a public house until he has spent his last farthing, but often pawned his clothes, furniture and flu ture crops. The public houses were acknowledged to be the most powerful agents of ruin and Reorganization in the economic life of the Russian people, and threatened the impoverishment of the whole agricultural population"

An interesting legal point was raised the other day in a North Missouri coun- ty. A young woman of seventeen want ed to be married, but her mother declin- ed to give her consent and insisted that a license should not be issued.l It was discovered by the recorder, however, that the applicant had been married be- fore, at the age of thirteen, and with the consent of both of her parents. He was on the point of issuing the desired document anyway, regardless of the opposition, having concluded, upon counsers advice that the parents had released all control over the girl when they signified their willingness that she should marry the first time. But just then the mother relented and parental approval of the second union was given

Professor Raoul Pictet, of Geneva, who visited America last year and who lectured before several learned societies and universities, has proposed a com mercial scheme for the mechanical dis sociation of air. The air at the pres sure of the atmosphere is to be admitted to an apparatus similar to condenser and cooled by liquid air. On account of the low temperature thus produced, the oxygen and nitrogen composing the air separate. and as they have different specific gravities. the oxygen sinks to the bottom and the nitrogen rises to the top of the cylinder, each being drawn off as desired. The carbonic acid lique- fies and can be removed by tubes into receiving vessels. With 800 horse pow CT, it is believed that 5OO,OOO cubic feet of air can be treated in one day.

LEGALIZED EVIL NO. II,

From the Northwestern Mail, pub

Mrs. Leonora M. Lake, made a grand

Mrs. Lake is devoted Catholic, and a
very eloquent and excellent woman.
Let not political parties nor different
forms Of religion divide true patriots IN
their opposition to the legalized liquor

parties; vote only for prohibition! The
following is copied from the North

Mrs. Lake has made many addresses
during the past winter in various parts
of the state, with marked success.

that after such entertaining speakers

Scarce one step canst thou see
Along this Swallowed way.
Child follow me this day!
On either side
Stretch meadows fair and wide,
But there the creeping, deadly ivy grows ,
Beside the gay and fragrant briar rose,
And where the grasses wave most rank
and green,
The quicksands lie which verdure serves to
screen"
The Guide said; Follow me,
Though rough the pathway be;
Where scarcely thou canst stand.
I'll hold thee, hand in hand,
And lead thee on,
And keep thy steps the narrow way upon;
And, thus upheld,
Thy fear and doubling quelled,
Up to the hills thy strengthened feet shall
climb,
And thy glad heart forget this weary time;
Seem fair and tempting in thy sight to.

From the green meadows wide
And said. with lifted head: I'd
