LIE.

Although it is not wise. or even COM
forting, for defeated ones to "analyze"
the vote that defeated them, the DEM
ocrats of Connecticut are busy analyz-
ing. Many ''ifs" have appeared, and
more will appear. The Hartford Times
has discovered that the Hartford DEM
ocrats were about right. 1t points out
that only one on the Democratic State
ticket failed to receive a plurality in
Hartford; the Democratic candidate for
sheriff ran far ahead of his Republican
competitor. so did the candidates for
representative in congress from the
First district, and at large; and the
candidate for State senator from the
First district was elected by a good
plurality. All this, says the Times,
came about because the Hartford
Democrats really tried to get together
and support the party ticket, even if it
did not altogether represent their per-
sonal preferences. They stood together
for the party In way that, if not per-
feet, would, if initiated all over the
State, have elected the whole State
ticket, and probably some other impor-
tant officers"
But the other Democrats didn't be-
have as the Hartford Democrats are
said to have behaved. If the truth is
ever told about the behavior of some
New Haven Democrats it will be an
interesting story.

THIRTEEN RING PENNY.

One of the workmen employed. by
Watson Tryon & Son in tearing down
the old house on Allyn street, Hadtford.
this week, adjoining the Masonic tenn
pie, found an ancient penny, bearing
date Of 1888. It bore on one side thir-
teen rings, each ring representing one
Of the original colonies. The motto on
the ring side of the penny is 1--WE are
One" On the reverse side is the mot
to, Mind Your Business" The penny
is well preserved and was found be-
tween the wall and the plastering. The
old building shows that the cellar,
which has been reached in the work of
demolition, In recent years has been
from eight to ten feet below the pres
emf roadbed on Allyn street. When Mr..
Tryon learned his trade in Hartford as
a brick mason there was a large swamp
in the neighborhood of the house, which
was called Buttonwood swamp.

As alcohol sells in Germany for twen-
ty cents gallon, it is being much used
for the propulsion of motors At the
recent fair at Halle alcohol motors Of
from 6 to 90 horse power were shown
at moderate prices. The consumption
Is about one pint per horsepower an
hour The advantage of the alcohol
motor over the ordinary steam engine
is that 1t is always ready for use with
out preliminary warming up; it can be
filled, oiled and started in from two to
three minutes; there is no constant sup
plying Of coal and water and no danger
Of fire or explosion; the spirit is easily
obtainable in all districts; there is no
smoke or smell, and the weight of a
portable spirit motor is about one-half
that Of portable steam engine Of equal
power.

that the fecundity of the American

a raglan coat was caught a few months

Minnehaha Club. The can, in which
one gallon of whisky was carried, was

Beecher's Sound Advice.

Henry Ward Beecher, whose sermons
on temperance every young man should
read, said this: IF you say yes, /
have a natural craving for it, then to
you I say, That is the very reason
why you should not take it. If you
have no craving for it, why should
you peril yourself by it? And If you
have such craving, surely, If you are
wise. you will not put yourself in dan
ger by indulging 1t.
Look at the thing from the view
point of your own interest. If you
had to employ young men to work for
you you would avoid drinking men.
Then don't drink whisky yourself.
Don't give every successful, conserva-
tive man the best of reasons for nis-
treating you.

Work That whisky Does.

Has whisky no work to do? Yes,
it has an important work. 1t is the
policeman, the executioner among hui
man beings. 1t wipes out the unfit
and softens the pain of their destruc-
ton. 1t wipes out families untitled
to survive. 1t shortens the harmful
career of the spendthrift and of the
man squandering inherited money. 1t
has its place in medicine, along with
strychnine arsenic and the other pois-
ons. 1t has no place in the constitu-
tion the daily life, the social pleasures
of normal, self-respecting young

Owing to the increasing spread OF
alcoholism crime has trebled IN France
during the last fifteen years. although
the population has hardly increased at

persons arrested are below 81 years of
age, and nearly all of them have COM

two poisonings, la infanticides. 4,2l2
cases of cutting and wounding. twenty
five incen6iarisms, 233 assaults, and
1890 robberies committed in Paris.
In 1880 the suicides in France were
five per 100000 inhabitants; now the

Drinking Mon In tho Churches.

A colored minister at a conference
once told how hard 1t was to turn a

1.-The members of the church were all
agreed. and told me so, that drinking
was a mighty bad thing, and man
who drank ought to be turned out, but,
like the rats, no one wanted to take
the job of putting bell on the cat.

a particularly bad case, and after the
matter had been discussed l, as mod
orator, said, I wait for motion Not

abundant, he has found very few re-
mains of animals which died a natural
death. No one has any idea OF what
becomes OF the bodies of such animals;
and it is indeed very strange that on

Of a gigantic lizard of remote geologi-
