gudliness, but every mans rights must be protected against any abuse of the rights of others. Every man is limited in the exercise of his natural rights to this sacred regard for the rights of others. No man has any right to do any ything that will work injury or any harm to others. No man has any right to injure himself even, because being member of society, self-inJury is an injury to others.
 Therefore, in so far as the manufac- ture, traffic, and use of intoxicating liquors may serve any real human necessity, or beneficial purpose we must admit that in so far, at least, the busi- ness is in accord with the general principle on which we put the case. In so far as whiskey cOnserves or promotes the highest welfare and moral good of the world it is a blessing. But right here we must apply the strict law or limitation and restriction. All beyond that is an open violation of the great law of natural rights. It may be that one has a right, legal and moral, to make whiskey, but he has no right in so doing to defraud his fellow-man of his bread; he has no right to tempt any one to ruin himself and family with his strong drink; he has no right to SOW thereby the seeds of discord, strife and crime; he has no right to fill the world with misery in the pur- suit of bis happiness; he has no right to gain filthy lucre at the expense and loss of human souls.
 A man has right to make and sell or use intoxicants, in so far as he can do so and fulfill the Golden Rule, in spirit and in truth; and morally speak ing that is all the right he has, or can have. And beyond that he is, and must be responsible for the abuse which we call intemperance. A man has right to drink intoxicants, but he has no right to get drunk, nor to injure his health, nor to intrude or i'm pose in any way upon others. We are in all things responsible in a measure for one another: and temperance is self-control, duty, justice, and love towards our ne;ghbOr.

Id the rest of the winter the three

Id the rest of the winter the three coveys of birds, 10 or 12 in each, stayed by the rack and faUtened and throve and went away happy in the' spring. Moreover, this small amount of feed had been sufficient to carry some 30 birds through the winter. But not the least interesting part of this eX- pertinent came from the fact that the roof board sheltered a bit of gravel and kept it dry and loose. In this gravel was the mark Of much scratch ing, and the first thought was that the birds were dusting themselves, but after bit of watching it was discov- cred that the gravel was being picked up to help grind the grain the birds had eaten. Since then a little gravel case the snow should interfere with that at the bottom.
 A number of these racks have been made since the first proved it's value and have been put up in various local ities. One has been set up in West Haven, this winter, for flock which, when they were found, were thin and scarcely able to fly. They looked like thin robins to the man who first chanced on them, but one of the Sper- ry racks was set up the next day, and week later the quail began to be fluffy, and at last reports they were looking as big and round and as finely feathered as small cartridges.
 In several years experience with these racks there have never been found any indications that hawks or foxes or other bird eaters have made any trouble. Not fox or mink track has been seen in the snow near rack. Whether the creatures think it trap, or what the reason may be, is not ex- plained. Moreover the game birds, partridge and quail, seem to be the only ones to feed freely from these racks. In one case only have other birds joined the party. In this case it was found that jays, snowbirds and one or two crows were patroniZing this Out-Of- door restaurant, and it was necessary to fill the rack twice in one winter. Of course the selection of cover, near openings which will give the birds the greatest opportunity of escape from an enemy, is very impor- tant, for the mere fact that enemies have stayed away in the past is no in- dication that they may not grow wiser, or that some household tabby who fears no traps may not prove the ruin of a flock which has been fed a little too near house,

SOCIAL TOPICS.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?-BY 0. O.

 Primarily, we say, the man who drinks is responsible for the whole business of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. But we do not say that the man who drinks is the only one who is to blame in the matter. If no one drank whiSkey there would be no incentive for any one to sell it; and if there was no sale for it there would be no sufficient motive for any one to make it; and if there were no manufactures the farm CTS would not be tempted to raise grains to be made into spirits. IT other words if there was no demand for alcoholic or other liquors, the sup ply would cease.
 But it is also true, on the other hand that if no intOXicantS were made, they could not be sold; and if there were none for sale they could not be drank And therefore when we consider the natural, social relations of men w lllUSU OCC UldU UllOOC WIlo lllohO dho oCl the means of intoxication and misery cost and crime, must in the nature O. the case have some share in the re sponsibility of abuse and shame.
 Inordinate thirst is the prime factol in this problem. The strange appetite for stimulants is the first cause of tht evil. The fact that men will have in toXicantS temptS other men to make and sell them for the sake of greed, gain. The drunkard must have hi dram, though he die for it, and the whole traffic therefore rests upor those who drink.
 But, starting now with the inaliena ble right of man to life, liberty ano the pursuit of happiness" let us as sume that any man has right to make buy, sell and drink intoxicating drinks Still, one mans rights must be defined in accordance with the fundamenta principle of every mans rights. Tn same law is over all alike, and is fO the common good. Our natural rela tions are mutual, dependent, inter dependent and cooperative.

 Arrangements have been made for every reader of this paper to receive copy of the new 1905 Kodol Almanac. We have seen copy of the Almanac and must say that it is a thing of beauty in color and design and valu- able for the important general infor- nation it conveys. The weather fore casts, we understand, are made by one of the best experts in the world; it differs from the generally published forecasts, inasmuch as it defines the particular section of the country over which the same conditions will prevail each day. A feature of this Almanac is an elaborate horoscope, based upon the day of the week and the day of the month of your birth. It outlines the character, humors, disposition and inclinations of people from 8 scientific horoscopical standpoint; it points out your guiding star; your favOrite month, lucky day, flower and birth stones. Its most important feature is without doubt it's very simply constructed 200 year calendar, whereby with abso- lute accuracy you can tell the day of the week on which any event occurred during one hunpred years Of the past, or on which any date will occur during the next hundred years, thus giving the day of the week on which any birth, death, marriage or any impor- tant event may have happened. This book is well worth sending for and it will be furnished you for one two-cent paper when you write the publishers, E. c. Dewitt & Co.,, 2032O5 LaSalle Ave, Chicago, Ill.

So the display of new styles at the Bridgeport store of Meigs & Go. which is comprehensive in it's scope, possesses much interest for all men. The snappy shapes in soft hats affected universally by college men are shown along with the more conserva- tive models in soft hats for men of quiet tastes. The new Derbys exhibit a strong tendency to the fat set brim, and some of the styles run to high crowns. The best feature of the Meigs $ Go. hat show is the variety of shapes

Heresy. England, who is a we'll known author, has been raising quite a tumult by making some very sensational charges against the Angli- can clergy in which he particularly att tacks Dr Sunday and the Bishop of Worcester. He asserts that they have thrown overheard all the doctrines of traditional orthodoxy and that they do not believe in the majority of the New Testament accounts of the life of Christ. These men, according to Mir Mallock, have eliminated from their creed all belief in miracles except those of the incarnation and the resurrection calling all the rest of the miraculous events of the Gospels as nothing but Subjective visions" He says, and with good showing of truth, that if the leaders in the pulpit are to become agnostics that the people will not care to go to church and will soon throw overheard all religion. It is question whether if these men cease to believe the things for which their church stands they ought not to get out of it. Common honesty ought, and does, prevail among the great ma ss of the clergy. If man changes his faith he ought not oc- cupy position in which he is false to his VOWS. A hypocrite has no place in the pulpit and an unbeliever will never lead people to stronger faith.

The OUTLOOK.

The Now that there is a
 Russia Japan Hull in the war be. War. tween Russia and
 Japan and some talk of peace it may
 be of interest to see what are the com
 parative relations of the two nations.
 Japan has an area of 5000 square
 miles of territory and the Czar lords it over 9,66O, ,OOO. There are about fl, ,OOO,- GOO people in Japan and 13O, 100000 in
 Russia. It was figured at the begin ming of the war that Japan had about 200 ships to Russia's 400. The Japan csc however are born sailors in their island kingdom and as they fight for native land a good many of the Russian ships are now at the bottom of the sea. Russia has large debt and turbulent Nihilistic class, while all of Japan is practically one man in their efforts in the war and they have great resources. Japan has all the modern improvements in warfare while Russia is somwhat behind the times. The Russian soldier only does what he is told to do while the Jap is man of resources. The Russians declare that they can mobilize 3,44O,OOO soldiers while such is the spirit of the Japan ese, men and boys, that they count that they can raise 7,650,o0O persons for military service. If Russia's inter- nal troubles do not lead to peace we may see this summer the most Titanic struggle in war history.

SliQht Collision.

The schooners Golden Shoreand Esther

week. by coming in collision as the
Esther Buhne was being towed up the
Wlshkah to the American mill. The tow
was in charge OF the tug John Cudahy,
Captain Tom Stream, who knowing the
danger of vessels steering when the tide
is moving either way, instructed the
Buhne to drop her anchor at a given
signal. The failure to drop the anchor
caused her to sheer into the Golden
Shore, which was lying at the West &
Slade dock, causing about S45 worth of
damages to her, which was paid by the
tug boat company. The damages to the
Buhne consist OF cracked stem and
broken bobstay will also be repaired by
the tug boat people their captains being
instructed not to take any more vessels
into that river only on slack water.

CUSTOM HOUSE CHANGES.
port aberdeen Not Disturbed. Thai
of Gravs HarbOr Abolished.

A dispatch from Washington last week,
announcing that South Bend had been
designated a subpor. OF entry. and that
the SUPPORT Of Grays Ilarbor has been
abolished, caused little stir on the
har Dor, many supposing that the order
meant the transfer OF the custom house
for this port to South Bend.
The confusion arose over the tact,
known to but few. that there were two
supports on the official records on Grays
Harbor, that of Aberdeen. and the other
called the port of Grays Harbor. Some
years ago the port Of South Bend was
discontinued, since when its shipping
was cleared for the port of Grays Har-
Dor. The recent order abolishes the un.
used SUPPORT Of Grays Harbor, re'nstates
that of South Bend and leaves that OF
Aberdeen as it was.
