derived from the sale of liquor under the Gothenburg system in Sweden IS about 400, 900 knoner Ca kroner being 2S oents). The government tax upon dis tilleries amounts annually to about 15,- 100000 kroner, and the duties collected upon imported wines, liquors and beers will average annually 9,3000N0 kroner, making a total revenue of nearly 3D. O0O00O kroner from the liquor traffic
 The Prohibitionists opposes the Goth enburg system for several reasons, namely:
 l. Because it is a compromise with sin.
 2. Because it stamps with official vices.
 8. Because it compels man to buy a bottle of liquor when he wants more than one drink, and thus tempts him to spend more money than he can afford and drink more liquor than he desires. A. It induces families to lay in stocks of liquors, which are constant tempta ton.
 5. The profits are so large as to tempt taxpayers to encourage the pa- tronage of the agencies in order to re- duce taxation in other directions
 6. If the Gothenburg system has re- duced consumption and decreased pov- erty and crime to the extent claimed by it's advocates. it simply demonstrates that these evils can be reduced still furt her by greater restrictions.
 The Prohibitionists are still active and are urging prohibitive legislation, without much prospect of success, for the public generally approve the Goth enburg system.-From the Chicago Record Herald.

A DREAM STORY.


 From time to time I have been so interested and amused by reading in The Spectator" accounts of vivid and realistic dreams that I feel tempted to narrate one that happened to me, leaV- ing it to your judgment as to whether it is worthy of notice in your paper In November 1893. I awoke one morn ing fully impressed with the idea that I was receiving as a gift an unusually large gypsy ring set with a single sapphire with brilliant on each slde The dream was a pleasant one to female mind, and soon fell asleep again but only to awake with a still stronger impression that the jewel was actually in my hand. So curious were my sensations that on my maid entering my room at o'clock l told her Of the two dreams most minutely describing the ring, and I also asked my husband to bear witness to the statement shoulc anything follow to confirm the dream Two hours later the postman arrived, and so great was my excitement and astonishment at seeing small, neatly done up packet (evidently ring easel that I dare scarcely open it and decided to ask my maid to do so. Before breaking the seal I asked her to repeat the description of the ring that l had previously given her. and then the littl4 packet was opened, and the joyful exclamation followed: Why my lady, here it isl" The ring was sent to me bv a friend in memory of his wife. who had died some months before; but had absolutely no idea that I should be the recipient of any souvenir of her, nor did ever see her wearing the ring in question. The same maid is still in my service, and can Gas well as Sir Astley) substantlate my story.-Letter in The Spectator.

On April T. 1868, he was returning to
his boarding house from a night ses-
sion of parliament, when an assassin
named Whelan shot him down at the
door of his lodgings. Thus persisted
in the 43d year of his age the most
gifted freshman in America and one
of the richest and most splendid intel
lects of the 18th century.
AS the murdered man fell under the
assassin's bullet his life blood spat-
tered a large stone in the wall, and
shortly afterward the stone was en-
graved with a record of the crime. A
few years later the building was
burned down and the stone was lost
sight of. A man named Biehler sub
sequently used the stone in build
ing he was constructing on Queen
street, and it was while tearing down
this latter structure recently that the
memorial stone was found. 1t is in

stanza:
Am I remembered in Erin7
I charge you speak me true;
Has my name a sound, a meaning
In the scenes my boyhood knew?
Does the heart of the mother ever
Recall her exile's manner
For to be forgot in Erin
And on earth is all the same.

THE manufacture Of pens in the
United States is confined to only four
companies, although one might sup
pose there were many more" said a
Connecticut man who is engaged in
that line of work, the other day. THAT
does not include the making of gold
pens, which is a separate Industry
but pens of steel, brass and German
silver. The steel for these pens is
brought chiefly from Sheffield, Eng,
as is the best blade steel. Many ex-
periments have been made with steel
manufactured over here, but it never
has sufficiently stood the test. The inn
ported product comes in sheets about
three or four inches wide and from
sixteen to twenty feet long The i'm
preston would be that such little ar
ticles so universally used as pens
would be entirely machine made. Not
So From the moment the sheet steel
is started on its way into pens till
the flushed goods are boxed and label
ed it is handled by employees seventeen
different times. The points, even,
have to be ground twice-ground and
cross ground, as we style it in the
factories"

SNAKES SOFA br the Pound.

Snakes can now be bought by the
pound in Klamath, Ore, where there
is quite an extensive industry.
Children gather their aprons fun Of
snakes as they would of wild flowers,
and little boys gather them in their
pockets for pets. The price paid is Is
cents per pound and ready market is
found for them in Minnesota The
species is of a dark color and when
full grown is about three feet long.
So great is the supply that tons of the
reptiles could be shipped annually if
there we're orders for them. The
snakes are used for medicinal pur-
poses, as a superior quality of oil can
be manufactured from the variety
found at klamath Falls.

Rad who Has Been In Peril Frequently
But stnI Lives.
Edward Dempsey. son Of a once noe
ed oarsman, has been near deaths door
thirteen times but the portals are still
closed to him. He is thirteen years Old
and has walked hand in hand with
death for every year of his life and
never fiinched. Saturday morning he
met with his thirteenth accident but
that he has passed the hoodoo number
in safety Is affirmed by the physicians
at the jefferson hotel. The boy was
riding his bicycle down Chestnut street
when he ran into a trolley car at
Eighth street, striking his head
against the iron part of the fender on
the rear of the car. Leading his wheel
he walked to the hospital, not know
ing until he arrived there that he had
received a fracture of the skull as the
result of the accident The doctors
say he will recover. He cheerfully bears
his confinement and seems concerned
only in the baseball scores. Edward g
father, Patrick Dempsey, who is now
employed in a hotel on Eleventh street,
below Chestnut, was prominent years
ago as an oarsman and coach. When
the family lived at Falls of Schuylkill
some years back the boy was concern
! ed in more accidents than a hospital
ambulance Once he shot the falls Of
Wissahickon creek in a frail rowboat
and it was a common occurrence for
him to fall overheard while rowing
and swim ashore. This remarkable
lad has been the victim of a gasoline
accident was hit by trolley cars ga
lore, chased by the angry subjects OF
his practical jokes and in may other
ways made the hero of incidents OF
which he was too modest to keep ac-
count But the boy survived his thir-
tenth accident, probably the most
serious Of all. and the physicians are
certain that he will be ready for an
other one next year.-Philadelphif

FAILURE OF SILK CULTURE.
Attempts to Introduce 1t IN Virginia
Were Unsuccessful.


Were Unsuccessful.
In parts of Virginia, especially in the
vicinity of williamsburg, there are
many mulberry trees-the result Of
fad introduced in the colony in the
early days. For a century and half
the people made Intellectual attempts
to produc their own silk in order to
escape the commercial tyranny Of the
French merchants. Charles 1 and
Charles II both favored the enterprise,
and encouraged it by promising re-
wards By the direction of Cromwell,
the House of Burgesses passed a law
requiring the planting Of one mulberry
tree in every ten acres of land in the
colony. There was also a law per-
hitting only counselors and heads of
families to appear in gold lace and for
bidding everybody to dress in silk
clothing unless the silk was grown in
Virginia. The experiment was fully
tried. but was improbable. In 1866
400 pounds of silk were sent to Lon
don; in 1868 500 pounds were sent as
a present to Charles II These are the
| largest shipments known in the rec
ords. Occasionally a few pounds went
along with a cargo Of tobacco. The
worms did not thrive. The industry
languished and was finally abandoned
In 1870 it was revived, when a colony OF
French Huguenots came over, but the
only result was a lot of picturesque
old trees with 6notted trunks and
! gnarled branches.

More than fifty thousand horses in
New York city are disabled by a dis
ease which the veterinary surgeons say
is the grip. The symptoms are the
same as those shown by human beings
with that disease, including the sud-
denness of the attack and the subse-
quent weakness and collapse. The per-
centage of deaths among the horses al
SO appears to be about the same as that
among people when the grip first APP
peared in its virulent form. The great
est loss to the owners of horses is
caused by the inability of the animals
to work during the week or two in
which the disease runs it's course.

The recent finding in ottawa, Can,
of the stone which originally marked
the scene of the assassination OF
Thomas darcy MCGEE serves to recall
the story of that gifted Irishman and
of one of the most noted political
crimes in the history of the Dominion.
MCGEE was in many respects a not
ed man. Poet, editor, historian, Or
ator and statesman, he contributed
freely to every department Of litera-
ture, adjoining like Goldsmith what
ever he touched. AS a statesman his
work endures in the present system OF
Canadian confederation, for there was
no more enthusiastic confederauonlst
than he and he framed the draft OF
the plan of union.
Thomas Darcy MCGEE was born in
county Louth, Ireland, in 1925, and
was a descendant on both sides of pa
triotic Irish families. He was pre-
cocious from infancy and was an insa-
table reader of poetry and of the his
tory of his own unhappy land. In 1872
this young Irishman, fresh from an
ordinary day school-and schools in
Ireland were not the best in the world
so years ago, no more than now-came
to the United States and filed and
ably filed the editorial chair of the
Boston Pilot, founded by the late Pat
/ rick Donahoe.

neighbor caused the child's arrest
and there appears to have been nobody
to defend her. The justice of the
peace, whose duty it is to know the
law in such cases and to prevent IN
Justice instead of inficting it, has dis
played a degree of ignorance that is
highly discreditable. The mittimus by
which he meant to send the child to the
county jail charges the prisoner with
"larceni and insoliting lade." The

ton of the deeper ignorance Of the
duties of the position he holds. This
child appears to need little parental
care and attention rather than i'm
prisonment. She was promptly re
leased and sent home by Judge Tuley
