1.-THE saloon" he said, represents the
three disgraces-vice, venality and crime.
He took the stand that only total prohibi-
ton Is the remedy for all these evils. He
answered the argument that prohibition
does not prohibit by saying that no Law
can effectually. prohibit wrong. Its pur-
pose is to outlaw the wrong and punish the
infractions. The door of the brothel is a
sad commentary on modern manhood and
the remedy lies In the hands of American

A New Occupation.

A new occupation has sprung up in New
York which might be profitably introduced
into Washington and Chicago. Several
ladies in reduced circumstances are max
ing tidy sums Of. money by collecting and
cleaning visiting cards and selling them
at half their original cost to the persons
whose names are engraved upon them.
They are thus promoting economy among
fashionable society people and are cutting
down the revenues of the engravers and
printers, but the latter will continue to
have enough to do. These days 1t Is custo-
mary to leave a card for every adult mem
Der Of the family, whether they are at
home or not. Formerly visitor left only
one card, and that when the lady of the
house was not at home. but the etiquette
of today requires that just as many cards
shall be deposited in the tray when the peo-
ME are at home as when they are not. Con-
seauently,- when the reception hours are
over. the lady of the house sorts. them out,
takes one of each and makes notes in her
visiting book and throws the remainder
into the waste basket. Fashionable people
