CURRENT COMMENT.

Discussing the Mrs. Nation outbreak
in Kansas, the New York Evening Post
Qnd) says: Laws prohibiting the sale
Of drink are not enforced, because a large
minority, If not a majority. of the people
living in cities do not want them enforced.
Whether it is right in the abstract TO
enact such laws, we do not inquire; but
tor the interests of temperance and puri-
ty of administration they have been
proved inexpedient. The violence of the
Kansas crusaders will prove to be a Sc
we're blow to the cause of reform. 1t
will embitter its foes and disgust its
friends. 1t will increase lawlessness and
disorder and prevent the reform of law
BY teaching the community that 1t may
be disregarded at the will of the mob"
The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Qnd.) says: THE report that a German
baron, who was a soldier under Mosby
during the Civil War, has died aud left
g. 0O00 600 to the survivors of Mosby's COM
mand, reached the old Confederate colonel
in Denver the other day. He remember
ed the Baron very well. AS for the ST.
100000. he was skeptical, but ventured
the sage remark that while there are
possibly 100 survivors of his old COM
mand, there will be at least 100000 claim
ants of that distinction, IL the $2,0O0,OO0
report should be true"
The Omaha Bee Dem) says: The
charges of footing in China have now been
made specific as to time, place and some
OF the parties engaged IN the affair. Now
that the charges are more than general
tiles the representatives of the Powers
can hardly afford TO ignore them or re-
fuse TO punish the guilty If the charges
are sustained. Demands for reparation
from China are mockery of justice II

Origin of ga Horn"

A western man at a fashionable bar
in New York called for horn and
then had to tell the drink mixer that
it was whisky he wanted before he got
his order filed.
Curious" commented the western
er, show people in the east can't under

in Kentucky knows what "a horn Is
and how it got its name"
"How did it get it's nameT inquired

"Well, along about 100 years ago the
first distillery ever established in Ten
nessee was set up in Davidson county.
1t was called the Red Heifer. and the
customers who assembled at the still.
especially on Saturday afternoon, to
drink and gamble, got in the habit Of
speaking Of dram as a horn Of the

won by His wit.

A story is told of an English clergy
man who owed his appointment to a
rich living to lucky pun. He was
tutor to the son of a nobleman and
had not long taken orders when he
attended the funeral of the rector Of
the parish in which the nobleman's
seat was situated.
The father Of his pupil was patron of
the living and was also present at the
funeral Of the deceased rector. There
was young clergyman present also
whose grief was so demonstrative that
the noble patron was much affected by
the sight and asked If the young man
was son of the deceased gentleman.
"Oh, dear, no, my lord-no relation at
all" said the tutor. .:*.>
mo relationv' exclaimed the noble
man in a surprised tone.
"None, my lord; he is the curate, and
think he is not weeping for the dead,
but for the living"
His lordship, who was something Of
a wit and a cynic himself, was SO de-
lighted with the bonmot that he con-
ferred the living upon the ready pun

How rhey Do In China.

In China liquids are sold by weight
and grain by measure. John buys
soup by the pound and cloth by the
foot. A Chinaman never puts his name
outside of his shop, but paints instead
q motto or list of his goods on his
vertical signboa,rd. Some reassuring
remark is frequently added, such as
zone word hail." "a child two feet
high would not be cheated" Every
single article has to be bargained for,
and it is usual for the customer to
take his own measure and scales with
him. s.
r When you engage servant or make
a bargain, 1t is not considered binding
until ''the fastening penny" has been
paid. Although his bad faith Is notori-
Gus in some matters, yet, to do him
Justice. when once this coin has been
paid by you he Chinaman, cody ior
shopman will generally stick to his
bargain even If the result to him be

A Curious Trap.

A curious labyrinth in which ele-
plants are captured alive is to be seen
near Ayuthia. formerly the capital Of
Siam. The labyrinth is formed Of a
double row of immense tree trunks set
firmly in the ground, the space between
them gradually narrowing.
Where it begins, at the edge Of the
forest, the opening Of the labyrinth Is
more than mile wide. but as 1t ap-
proaches Ayuthia it becomes SO mar
row that the elephants cannot turn
around. .,
Suspecting no danger the wild ele-
plant enters the broad opening at the
forest end, lured on by tame elephant.
The gradual narrowing of the bound
aries is not observed until the ele-
plant finds himself in close quarters.
Having reached the end Of the laby-
rinth, the tame elephant is allowed to
pass through a gate, while men lying
in wait slip shackles over the feet of
the captives. The sport is dangerous
one, for the enraged elephants some
times crush the hunters under their
feet.

nr..n.r1ine.. In Brockton.


Here il a story told by Professor Bar.
sett Wendell about DR.. William Ever
ut: The latter was going out to
Brocktor one night to deliver an adj
dress and ran across Mr.. Wendell In
the Old Park square station. Come
along, Wendell" he said. II am going
out to Brockton to speak. and ! want
some one respectable to sit on the plat
form with me-" So the professor went
along.
When Everett arose to speak, the
hall, which was large one, was only
passably well filed. and even the COM
paratively small number present began
to grow smaller as one by one people
slipped away. Mr.. Wendell began to
think that Brackton must be singu-
larly cold hearted place when sudden
aly he noticed people coming in by twos
and threes and silently taking seats
wherever they could find them. Soon
the hall was full. with standing room
only, but still they came till the aisles
and walls were lined with interested
listeners.
The supposed deserters had simply
gone out and told the people Of Brock
ton that here was the greatest man
they'd ever heard and gathered them

Borrowing Down."

Everybody has noticed that in ex-
treme old age people grow rapidly
shorter. SO that person formerly Of
average height grows down" into
quite diminutive man or woman. A
German contemporary points out that
this decrease of height begins as early
as the age Of 35 years. At 30. we are
told. the human body has reached its
full height, which is retained for a few
years. after which the growing down"
process begins. At first and for many
years the process is so slow as to be
almost imperceptiNe. but at the age of
about 60 1t begins to be noticeable. and
after 70. even though a veteran does
not stoop at all. the fact that he is
growing down" becomes apparent to
one and all.

Garter Superstitions.

A worn garter is regarded by some
people as quite valuable present. for
it brings to it's new wearer luck, or, at
any rate, is supposed to do SO.
A bride should always wear blue
silk garter at her wedding. Her garter
Is often given her by a friend who
has taken away it's newness by wear
ing it. a few times, says Home Notes.
The wearing of the garter does not end
the ritual concerning it. After the
wedding ceremony it is either cut into
pieces or hidden. When it is hidden.
the bridesmaids hunt for 1t, and the
finder Is assured of being happily mar.
ried before the year is out. When it is
,cut. it is divided among the brides
maids to give to each good luck and a
devoted husband. Sometimes the bride
bestows her garters on the first brides
maid. and in Germany each bridesmaid
receives a pair of blue white silk gar
tiers from the bride.

Is there really any connection be-
tween the cast Of q writer's mind and
his handwriting? asks The Pail Mall
Gazette. Thackeray was one of the
neatest Of writer's and boasted that II
other trades failed he could get his liy-
Ing by writing the Lords Prayer on a
shilling. Keats wrote like a clerk. and
Gray, Tom Moore. Leigh Hunt and Sir
Walter Scott all used running hands,
which were legible without any mark
cd characteristics. The same may be
said Of the writings of Anthony Troll
lope and Professor Tyndall. none. per-
haps, Of these writer's being much
given to subtlety of expression.
Carlyle, on the other hand, Is said to
have produced the most untidy and
awful scribble that ever puzzled a COM
positor, and Victor Hugo, Browning
and Tennyson were nearly as bad.
Yet, although this looks as II there
might be some sort OF rule In such
matters. we find Napoleon. who GER
tainly never failed in directness Of ex-
preston. writing hand that he could
not read himself, and Macready, the
actor, whose order for the theater was
once taken for prescription for q
cough mixture.
One thing seems pretty certain-that
the mere size of the letters has little
to do with character.

The Lemon.

The lemon contains various acids,
citric acid among them. with citrate Of
potash, and these acids oxidize in the
blood Into carbonates Of potash and
carbonic acid. As scurvy is believed to
be due to lack of potash salts in the
blood. we see how substances like lem
ons, potatoes and fresh vegetables gen.
orally act as preventives of the all
ment. Also in rheumatism, in which
it is desirable to maintain the alkaline
character of the blood, lemons arc of
service. Beyond this l do not think
anybody can yaunt the properties of
the fruit. A healthy person has no
more need of lemons than of, say, tea,
for his ordinary food will supply him
with all that is necessary for the
maintenance of a sound body. People
who talk about lemons as ''good for the
liver" and so forth. found their belief
rather on faith than on Knowledge

"Take a gallon of strawberries and
put them into pint Of aqua vitae
Cbrandy). Let them stand so four or
five days. Strain them gently out and
sweeten the water as you please with
fine sugar or else with perfume"
Queen Elizabeth was exceedingly
fond Of perfumes, and. according to
this old book. her favorite scent was
made in this manner: take eight
spoonfuls Of compound water. the
weight Of twopence in fine powdered
sugar and boil it on hot embers or Goals

Alphabetical Abuse.

The prosecuting attorney in q law
suit had waxed especially indignant at
the defendant. whom he characterized
as an abandoned, baneful. cynical,
diabolic. execrable, felonious, greedy.
hateful, irresponsible, jaundiced, 'knav-
ish, lazy, meddlesome, noxious, outra-
geous and profiigate rowdy."

side." said the attorney for the defend
ant when he rose to reply, SHOULD
have put bis adjectives in a hat and
shaken them up little before using.
You must have noticed, gentlemen Of
the jury. that they were in regular al
phabetical order. This shows that he
selected them from dictionary, be-
ginning with "a He stopped at ''p.'
but in his manner of reproducing them
he has given US the cue as to how he
got them"
This turned the laugh against the
other lawyer. and he lost the case.
