ANIMALS OF THE DESERT.
The Addhx Antelope and LOder's Ga
relie Frequent the Lands of
Thirst and sand

In the northern Sahara two animals
arefound which seem specially adapt
ed for life in this forbidden land.
They are the addax antelope and
Ldder's gazelle, says TIE London
Spectator. The addax is an ugly,
acknowledging animal, with spiral
horns and very widespread hoois,
which enable il 20 60 at a great pace
over the sand Pliny knew Of its ex-
istence, and was naturally interested
in il, for as South Africa was as vet
unvisited this was one Of the few
species Of antelope known 10 the an
clients. II was not rediscovered tin
Ruppell found it near Dongola. As
it is rather a large antelope, it re.
quires a considerable amount Of food.
and the difficulty which suggested it,
self was to discover where it found
its food. II is now nearly certain
that the addax follows the rains
which fall at certain seasons, and
probably travels vast distances in the
wake Of the seasons storms The
immense area Of desert I'm northern
Africa makes this possible, though
without special knowledge Of the me
teorology Of that part Of the continent
Il would be unsafe 20 assert that
there is always rain going on in some
part Of the desert fringe. How the
addax supports itself in these abso-
lutely dry intervals Is not known.
Gazelles are mainly desert animals,
but Loder's gazelle seems TO have
rather more than the Family leaning
toward the land Of thirst and sand.

The Main Plank in the High License
Local Option Platform.

Mr.. EDToR:-'sWe declare that state
prohibition is ineffective as a law intended
to repress the sale of intoxicating liquors
and pernicious and demoralizing in its OPP
erationsn
SO are the ten commandments partially
ineffective and all of our criminal laws,
and for that reason would it be policy for
the state to repeal the commandments
and all of the criminal laws and license
all crimes for the sake Of putting few
more dollars into the state treasury
Why is it that prohibition is ineffective
II is because the officers, whose duty II is
to enforce the law, have become impreg-
mated with the principles which this plat
form represents and are sometimes amen
able to the law themselves which they
have sworn to execute.
If intoxicating liquors are moralizlng,
what need is there for restrictions Why
not let all be happy and moral together
Mr.. Clements speech at Burlington on
July 18th was a mass of assertions, but
assertions do not establish facts. In this
speech he painted in glowing colors pic
ture showing how, by few imaginary re-
forms and high license, the state can save
$4,000 annually for permanent roadways.
| That is so, but that road leads to perdi-
ton, pauperism and crimes. II we have
got to 90 to destruction, pull out the
I throttle and let us get there as soon as
4
possible.
High license will establish the most de-
grading monopolies which the state has
ever seen, and the higher the license the
greater viii be the monopoly and more
poor rum will have to be sold, and the an
| ticipated $500 0 will have to go to build
more prisons, work houses and jails.
Each town must expect a large addition
/ to its poor bills. for men who spend their
DAYS and nights at the saloons Will not te
/ in condition to support their families,
although they may get imaginative with
ten cents, but that will not clothe and
/ feed their wives and children.
/ The declaration of the principles OF the
/ Vermont Local Option league says that
with the law reconstructed so as to con-
| form TO American ideas OF government
the way will be open for the work OF the
churches and teachers to encourage tenn
perate habits on the part Of individuals
| The church and school have always given
their best influences for the cause OF tenn
| perance and when high license comes
they will need to double their diligence
for my observations are that when per-
son becomes addicted to intoxicating
liquors he cares more for rum than h'
| does for church or schoolhouses.
Has the state of Vermont become SC
poor or its morals so low that ii is willing
to shackle such a dastardly wrong upor

lowed 10 be political factor, in eaus'

the Vermont Prohlbitory Law"

A publication that ought, at this time,
at least, to meet with a cordial reception,
has lust been issued by the Burlington
Free Press Job office. 1t is a compilation
and digest by Russell w. Taft, Esq, OF
Burlington of the Vermont prohibitory
law and is intended to bring before the
general public its principal provisions IN
more Ineligible and circumspect form
than il assumes in the original. The en-
tire substance of the statutes is para
nhrased in a readable form, emitting re-
dundancies and surplusage and all the SUI
preme court decisions relating to the law
that would be of general interest are en-
bodied at the proper intervals in compacl
form, This publication ought TO fulhl
worthy mission in making many voters
familiar with the provisions OF the law OF
which altogether too many are more OF
less ignorant. The subject matter and ex'
ecutive reflect great credit upon the com
miller and publisher, respectively, and tn
publication ought, at the moderate prle'
/ II which il is sold, ten cents, TO attain
| gratifying circulation. For sale by al
newsdealers or will be sent postpaid bl

FOOD AND THE SEXES.
The Male Human Needs to Eat More
Than the Female.

The Male Human Needs to Eat More
Than the Female.
According to a writer in the Lancet,
the male human needs more food than
the female not only on account Of his
larger stature, but also because he is
the more katabolic Of the two. The
man tends to expend energy and the
woman to store it up in the form Of
fat; he burns the faster. This sexual
difference shows itself in the very
blood. The man has q larger percent
age of chromocytes than the woman,
showing that he needs proportionate-
ly larger quantity of oxygen in order
to maintain his more active combus-
ton, a fact which one may associate
with his comparative freedom from
chlorosis Moreover, weight for weight,
his pulmonary capacity is greater than.
that Of the woman, whose smaller re-
spiratory need is further shown by the
facility with which she can without
discomfort diminish her breathing
power by means Of the corset.
"The great contrast between the
metabolic activity Of the two sexes"
continues the writer, "was forcibly
brought home to me by military dis
play given by q troop Of dusky ANA
IONS, with whom were also few male
warriors. The women, in spite Of their
daily exertions, were all rounded and
plump, some very much so, no single
muscle showing through the skin, and
it was noticed that their movements,
though full Of grace, lacked energy
and go The men, on the other hand,
were spare, their muscles standing out
plainly under the shiny skin, and they,
in further contrast with the women,
displayed q truly amazing agility,
bounding about and whirling round in
a most astounding fashion. The Wom-
en-, in short, were essentially anabolic,
and the men were katabolic. may
here draw attention to the fact that
men are apt to be larger meat eaters
than women, just as they are, possibly
in consequence Of this very fact, more
prone to drink alcohol and to smoke
tobacco"

The Sense OF Feeling.

Some Of our most important organs
for instance, the heart, the brain and
the lungs-are, strange to say, quite
insensible to touch, thus showing that
not only are nerves necessary for the
sensation, but also the special end Or
gans. The curious fact was noticed
with the greatest astonishment by
Harvey, who, while treating a patient
for an abscess that caused large
cavity in his side, found that when he
put his fingers into the cavity he could
actually take hold Of the heart without
the patient being in the least aware Of
what he was doing. This so interested
Harvey that he brought King Charles
I. to the mans bedside that che might
himself behold and touch so eXraor-
dinary thing"
In certain operations a piece Of skin
is removed from the forehead to the
nose, and it is stated that the patient,
oddly enough, feels as if the new
nasal part were still in his forehead
and may have headache in his nose.
