All Citizens Barred.

If former Gov. David II. Goodell is
correct in his construction of the New
Hampshire law every voter and every
male citizen over the age of 81 will
find his name on a blacklist purport-
ing to include persons to whom liquor
should not be sold.
Mr. Goodell says the law is broad
and empowers magistrate to specify
persons who in his Judgment should
not be permitted to buy liquor of any
kind. 1t is his belief that liquor is bad
for everybody. SO he will make no ox-
ceptions.
The temperance crusade has al
ready been started at Hillsboro, and
the whole town is doing nothing but
talking and holding indignation meet
ings. Mr.. Goodel served notice ON
the one Hillsboro saloonkeeper not to
sell liquor to any person named in
the list furnished. This list was the
election check list and included all
the voters of the town, not except
ing ministers and others of high

should be erected and abundant oppor-

Sinful Woman.

What's the first thing people say
When a man goes wrong2
There is one conclusion they
Who make up the throng
Always straightway come to when
Any man goes tumbling down.
When he robs his fellow men.
When the ones who praised him frown-
When his honor and his pride
End in bitterness and shame
Do we not at once decide
Ihat some woman was to blamel
When a Christian falls from grace
All the world declares
There's a woman in the case
Who has spread her Snares;
When a banker flies we know,
Though her name may not be heard.
That some woman brought him low,
And we pass along the word.
For the wrongs men do, the shame
That they have to bear who fall
Woman always gets the blame,
Woman Is behind it all.
But when some man rises high
When he wins applause
When for him the banners fly,
Do we guess the cause?
Do We tell each other then
That some woman made him great
That for her he rose DER men,
Toiling early, striving late?
Yet, without her who would win
Who would care to do his bestg

OF Gladstone a recent writer says:

particularly shabby, his frock coats
of uncertain age and his neither gar

sitting at a desk. This disregard.
however, extend only to periods when
he was out of office. When in Down
ing street he dressed almost smartly
for a man of his age. How many years
service Mr.. Gladstone extracted from
his famous Inverness cape we do not
know. Anyhow. he started with it on
his first Midlothian campaign and he
was still wearing it after the general
election of 1892. In Edinburgh he ap-
peared to wear the same hat year af-
ter year, but it may have been fetched
north for the occasion as a mascot, as
he generally drove about bareheaded
and very few of his constituents ever

empire to give credit for drinks. THE
young man." as Bismarck used to call
him, must have studied the drink
question with sagacious insight.
The credit business of saloons is
equally disastrous to the proprietors
and to their customers. Half or more
than half of the debts incurred for
drinks never are paid. This is why
saloon keepers who do general
credit business never acquire wealth
Their profits are eaten up by bad
debts.
The credit system in saloons pro-
notes excessive drinking. If a poor
man, say moneyless man. could not
get credit at a saloon he would sell
dom drink. The necessary economy
practiced by him would tend to des-
troy the drink habit. When he
should be enabled to earn money he
would save it and not spend it in
the saloons.
Kaiser Wilhelm is wise beyond his
years. He has discovered and struck
at a main root of the upas tree of in
temperance. His plan is as much for
the benefit of the man who sells drink
as it is for the man who buys it.

coLoRs OF THE SKY.
Scientist Explains How Glorious SUM-

sets Are Formed.
Prof. T. J. ]. See OF the United
States navy has observed the color of
the sky in various attitudes in high
mountains. and in dry and moist coun-
tries, such as Egypt and Greece. and
Arizona and the Mississippi valley.
His conclusion is that the beautiful
red colors of sunsets and sunrises so
much spoken of by Greek and Roman
writer's, and so often illustrated in
landscape painting. arise from water
vapor in the lower layers OF our at
mosphere. absorbing the blue and
transmitting the red light. According
to Dr. See, the reddish colors come
from that part of our air within five
miles of the earth's surface, while the
deep blue of the sky arises from re-
flections of minute particles in the
higher parts of our atmosphere. The
water vapor does not extend very
high, clouds never rising higher than
ten miles above the earth. The blue
streaks cast by clouds at sunset show
that the red arises near the earth.
while the blue has its seat very high
up. Above our atmosphere the sky
has all the blackness of the darkest
night.

HEIGHT OF OCEAN WAVES.
General Misapprehension AS to Their

A gale in the open ocean will lash

tween, we say the waves ran "moun.
tains high; but the highest waves
in British seas probably never exceed
fifteen or twenty feet, and the great.
est height observed by Scoresby in the
waves of the Atlantic was but forty.
three feet. This is, of course. the
height of the wave from trough to
crest. and has nothing to do with the
height to which spray, water or stones
may be hurled when the waves break
on shore.
