To Take lunar Life to Prevent suf-
ferin0.

ICTIHS.
A doctor in the Ohio legislature has
introduced a bill requiring physicians
to take human life in cases in which
there is great suffering and death is
certain to result and also to prevent
the rearing of children who are hid
eously deformed or hopelessly idintic
In speaking of his bill he rightly said:
"My measure is a humane one. 1t
may be that it is too revolutionary to
pass this legislature, but the time will
surely come-and that, too, within the
next 20 years-when some such law
will be on our statute books" We
doubt it. We don't believe the time
will ever come when such law viii
be placed upon the statute books of
this country.-Charlotte Chronicle.

The fact that Il fish dealer of New
Bern had to ship from cold storage in
New York twenty barrels of trout in
order to supply his customers shows
how scarce are fish in the waters of
eastern North Carolina. Very proba-
bly, these very fish had been caught
in the neighborh0od of New Bern.

THE LIQUOR PROBLEM.

One fact not to be forgotten for a
moment in all the discussion of the
liquor problem is, that the money spent
for beer or hard liquor is just so much
taken from the weekly earnings, and
lust so much less to spend for the nee
essaries of life. The saloon thriveS
only at the expense of the home, even
if the drink habit does not lead to ex-
cess. Those who clamor for license for
get the vital bearing of the problem
and think only of the attractive saloon
as another place of business. Let us
remember the character of that bust
ness, and what it inevitably insures to
the great majority, before we turn out
of the pathway of enforcement of law
and protection of individual and prop
erty rights. Law may legalize the sa-
loon, but it can never Justify the traffic
in human souls. The issues are clearly
drawn and must not be warped or
twisted for political effect or good fell
lowship When the licensed saloons
enter Maine, the highway will be strewn
with wrecks, the jails will fill with
criminals, homes be made desolate and
pauper bills increase rapidly. Does any
one suppose the condition will be differ
ent here than in other license States?
History will repeat itself, and the only
safe way is to bar the door and then
larbor earnestly, faithfully, constantly
for enforcement.-Dr Twitchell in the
Maine Farmer.

Such was the resolution introduced
by Archdeacon Robinson at the after
noon session Of the diocesan convention
of the Episcopal Church of Maine, May
10th, and after lengthy and animated
discussion it was adopted-not unani-
mously, by any means, but by good
majority. 1t should be understood that
in adopting the resolution the conven-
ton does not place itself Oh record as
either favoring or opposing the law, but
simply as demanding that it should be
enforced impartially. Even Archdeacon
Robinson, in his arguments in favor of
the resolution, declared that he was not
a Prohibitionist, but he did think that
the law should be enforced like other
tatutes.-Portland Press.

WASHINGTON, May 49, After 70 days of
almost continuous deliberation the railroad
rate bill passed by the practically unanimous
vote of Il to 3. The three negative votes
were cast by Senator Foraker, Republican of

Democrats, of Alabama. There was a
somewhat larger attendance of Senators
than usual but the attendance in the gal

was no manifestation Of any kind when the

Dainty lingerie is always in demand NO
woman ever yet possessed too large supply and
none ever yet failed to be fascinated by some new
and pretty model The corset cover Illustrated
is essentially dainty and shapely just full enough
to allow of wearing under the blouse waist with
success while the separate portion OF the h1ps
does away with bulk at that point. In the illus
tration it is made of fine nainsoOk with trimming
of German Valenciennes lace and embroidery
worked onto the material The design for this
last is SIMPLE one and the time and labor lnyoi
we'd are by no means excessive while the result is
far more satisfactory than can be obtained in
any other way. There are, however, medalllons
and applications which can be substituted If bet
ter liked. Batiste, both linen and cotton, lawn
and all the materials used for garments of the
sort are appropriate.
The corset cover is made with fronts and back
and all allow choice OF sleeves OF no sleeves.
When the sleeves are omitted the arm eyes
edges are finished with beading or embroidery,
when used they are joined to the corset cover,
their edges being trimmed to match the neck.
The back is tucked in the center for its entire
length and the fronts at the waist line only, CIV
ing the suggestion of girdle and doing away
with fullness at that point
The quantity of material required for the me-
dunn size is IL yard SO inches wide with q yards
of insertion, 81 yards of edging and yards OF
beading to trim as illustrated
The pattern 1885 is cut in sizes for 49, "a, sc, 80,
