and both royal ladies actively use
their influence on the side of temper

A Fearful Commentary.

In the horrible catastrophe which
recently befcll Galveston, few Of the
barrooms escaped injury. anu as soon
as the wreckagc could be forced frop,
their doors they were opened for busl-
ness. Among the lower classes there
were those who tanked up themselves
OF beer and liquor, and became me-
mace to the afflicted con- nunity. But
as soon as martial law was proclaimed
every one Of these vile and shameless
dens was ordered closed, and their
proprietors instructed to leave the is
land. There was no place for liquor
resort aud for white aproned beer
singers under circumstances like
those. Everything noble and pure in
the hearts of the survivors Of the
storm revoltcd against SUCH institu-
tons and against men engaged in rum
ming them. Gambling dens and gam
ing proprietors still intact were treat
ed likewise. Think Of it! Death and
destruction, ws;!;ns and lamcn:a:;on,
and the manglcd bodies Of the dead
scattered promisculously over the
street and under the wrecks placed no
check upon some of these hcartlcss
wrctchcs engaged in the liquor traffic !!
AS soon as they could recover them
selves from the shock of the night
they we're ready to make every nickel
possible out Of the survivors who
were so unfortunate as to have an ap-
petite for strong drink. But the man
hood of the remnant of the popula-
tion rose up and expelled them and
their business from this scene of hui
man suffering and calamity. The fact
is, we have always known that the H.
quor business was without heart or
conscience; but this is the first in
stance where we have ever known it
to defy the dead, mock the living,
laugh at calamity, debauoh the man
gled and the manned, and defy the
awful visitations of Almighty Godl
We are glad that there was manhood
enough left in the island city, even in
the midst of its ruins, to drive from
it's borders these despoilers of virtue,
truth, and bepevolcnce. And what
pity it is that the manhood Of this
great State, and of this nation, does
not rise up and hurl from every COM
munity this nefarious business that is
wrecking more human life and charac-
ter than all Of the storms and waves
that ever swept the shores Of Americal
1t stands to-day in the presence of the
deepest agony Of the human heart,
and unblushiugly grins at woe and
misery. It is the unmitigated scourge
of the earth, the vulture whose pois-
oned beak is bloody with its rayages
Of widowhood and orphanage. But
language fails us as we stand in the
face of the barroom. Teras Christian
Advocate.

The First Trousers.

The FIRST pantaloons or trousers were
made in Assyria. In the reign of
King Asshurizirpel (838.5S B. CO.
horses were introduced in the army as
cavalry. Here, How, was problem;
the cavalrymen had to have some sort
of uniform, and it was impossible
for him to wear skirt and ride astride
OF horse. The tailors to his .naiesty's
armies waggcd their heads long time
over the problem, and finally decided
that the only way out of the difficulty
was to cut the cavaIrymen's skirts
from hem to waistband in both front
snd back, letting each part fall on it's
respective side of the horse. AS can
readily be imagined, this split skirt
made an exceedingly poor article Of
clothing. The mind of the tailor
has been small one. It is like
ly that even then, as now, it
took "nine tailors to make
man." At any rate, it took the
tailors OF Assyria over a century to
solve the problem Of the horseman's
clothing. "Why not" said one Of
these workers with the needle and
shears, "sew together the edges of
each division of the skirt and thus
form separate skirt for each leg?"-
or, in other words, he invented u pair
of pantaloons Nicholas.

The coast and geodetic survey has
recently completed some very careful
leveling operations which show that
the surface OF the Gulf OF Mexico lies
perceptibly higher than that OF the At
lantic ocean. Btween the surface OF
the ocean at st. Augustine, on the east
ern snore OF Florida, and the surface
OF the gulf at Cedar Keys. on the west
ern shore. there is mean difference
in level OF nine-tenths OF foot. This
is considered to be sufficient to account
for the outpouring current OF the gulf
Stream, which IN the narrower part of
the Strait OF Florida touches bottom.
The surplus of water which raises the
gulf above the level Of the ocean 10
apparently received through the Yu-
catan channel. being driven In by the
