south to secure an agreement among the
cotton growers that the acreage show
a specified decrease as compared with
the year before. 1t was thought at
last that this agreement had been
reached, but such was not the case.
1t seemed that each ignorant planter
went home, saying to himself: my
neighbors are to reduce their acreage
this year, and that will reduce the
crop and increase the price. I will
play cute trick and quietly increase
my acreage. That will give me the
benefit Of the increased price and put
a snug sum into my pockets.' And
he acted on that idea.

The agreement was ignored in almost

Washington is a Pennsylvania town
that is trying the no-license expert
ment. Its success under the system
which it has adopted is little short Of
marvellous. Here is what the Pitts
burg Times has to say about the mat
ter:
There has probably been no town
in the state that has developed more
rapidly, whose business is better and
its merchants and business men more
enterprising than in this town. 1t is
not true that no-license towns never
make any progress. Without looking
at the question beyond its material
aspect, we are as certain as it Is pos
sible to be that Washingtons success
and progress have been due rather to
the fact that it is a no-license town
There is no town OF its size In
America where so large a percentage
Of the working people own their own
homes. The money OF the working
men goes into the savings banks and
loan associations rather than into the
Golfers of the saloonkeepers. There is
nearly s5,O00,000 on deposit in our
financial institutions. During the past
year 200 houses were erected in the
town. The population in one year in
creased nearly 1000, and more than
doubled during the past seven years.
During the year 1902 there were $500
real estate transactions in the town.
We question the possibility Of other
communities Of like population being
able to show a record that can be
placed anywhere near this figure
even though they have licensed sa-
looms.

ings It Is possible to form some esti-
mate as to how the Licensing Act OF
1904 will work. The Act, which arous-
ed so much hostility in parliament,
and In the constituencies last year.
made radical changes in the Licens-
ing Code. Up to its enactment it was
possible for the licensing bench TO
refuse the renewal Of license sim
ply on the ground that there was no
public need for the house for which
license was sought. When a license
was so refused, no compensation was
paid to the owner of the public house
which was closed. Under the new
act there is no interference with the
OLD powers of the magistrates to re-
fuse the renewal of license on proof
by the police that the house had been
badly conducted and had become a
danger to good order and nuisance.
The licenses Of such houses can still
be refused without compensation; but
in the case of a well-conducted house.
which may be regarded by the magis-
trates as unnecessary, the renewal Of
the license cannot be refused without
compensation. To facilitate reduc-
ton in the number of licensed houses
of which by common agreement there
is redundancy in most Of the older
English towns, and to establish a
compensation fund, it is provided by
the Act of 1904 that license holders
within the magisterial area shall each
year contribute to common fund
from which compensation shall be
paid when the licenses OF well con-
Quoted, but unnecessary public houses
are refused at brewster sessions

HospltaI Ships for prunkards.

Doctor Mix. an expert on the treat
ment of alcoholic patients, told So
cial science club the other day lhsst
there should be hospital ships for ha-
bitual drunkards.
What he means was the isolation Of
inebriates ON the lake, or in the har-
Dor. in vessels fitted up for that pur-
pose. 1t is an old British idea and
has worked we'll The inebriate is
simply removed from the possibility
of a relapse, until he is mentally and
physically equipped for again renew
ing the battle with temptation.
noctor Mix wisely says that the
present system of throwing drunk
ards Unfortunately into the BRIDE
well is archaic and irrational He
might have put it stronger and pro
nounced 1t a public crime. The COM
munity's duty to itself should impel
it to recognize Drunkenness as dis
ease requiring rational treatment.
The two stages that all habitual
drunkards must pass through, in a
tdSAOud1 dllcmpt " udfC lhc44y diC
the physical stage, when the poison
and its effects must be driven from
the system, and the mental stage,
when every atom of will power in the
patient must be inspired to renew the
fight. The latter is by far the more
important, and can be successfully un-
dertaken only in properly equipped
isolation hospitals.
To really reform habitual drunkards
is no longer an experiment. The per-
centage of successful attempts grows
larger, as the methods employed be-
come more rational. Prisons and
bridewells may do for criminals, but
the idea of sending to them human
wrecks, whose only fault is inebriety,
is revolving.
Society will also soon demand the
most drastic penalties for selling
liquor to habitual drunkards.-Ch Chicago

regularly and solemnly swears off. So
long as things go right he keeps ''on
the water wagon" but the moment
anything crosses him he goes out for
"just one drink" He is not a dipso-

BY the time the second gets into his

FAULTS OF The MISTRESS.
Not Always as conslderate as she

The capable mistress is generally
the most considerate, and there is no
question but that she is the strongest
factor in the production Of whatever
good service is given in the household
to-day, writes Jane Seymour Klink, in
the Atlantic Nevertheless, she is
sometimes inconsidsrate, and in this
way; She can turn off work" so
quickly herself that she often forgets
others have not the same faculty.
Girls in a new place are often slow
just because they are so nervously
anxious to please. A capable mistress,
impatient because things are not NOV
ing SO rapidly as she knows they can
move, does not always give a maid
the two weeks trial, by which she
could do herself justice. Again, the
capable mistress comes into the Htch-

ready to her hand, and she whisks
UP the cake in a few minutes, telling
Jane to bake it carefully. She goes
up stairs and contrasts her quickness
with James slowness, forgetting that
she had neither placed things in readi-
ness. nor cleared them away, neither
superlntended the baking.

Alert to learn how best to play the game;
And then the boy. with eyes to knot hole

From far of following the ~ g.ess of

And then the youth who proudly tends

And gains admittance to the game itself;
Then as q strong young man himself oft

In uniform and playing with a will:
SO drifting on in years, but always bent
To see each game and criticise the play;
And then the rooter hoarse who knows

And is confirmed. unshakable. bleach
Last scene of all. too feeble to attend the

But eagerly demanding to the last the
