The Courtshlp Gate.

We have been shown a design for an
upholstered front gate which seems
destined to become very popular. The
footboard is cushioned, and there is q
warm soapstone on each side, the in
side step being adjustable, so that a
short girl can bring her lips to the
line Of any given mustache without
trouble. If the gate is occupied at
1890 p. m., an iron hand extends from
one gate post, takes the young man by
the left ear, turns him around, and he
is at once started toward home by a
steel foot. The girl can, If she likes,
set this part at later hour than 1890.

Census taking is difficult business
in Mexico, where the masses are in
fear that the enumeration means com
pulsory military service or more taxes.
Cons nsequently, the coming of census in
that country will be taken by high
officials, priests and men of the great
est local prominence. in order that it
may be more accurate than in the
past. In the City of Mexico President
Diaz himself. as we'll as his cabinet
members and the archbishop, will
personally assist in the work.

Breweries are prohibited from

Breweries are prohibited from
maintaining warehouses in dry units,
for the distribution of their products,
according to ruling by attorney gen.
eral Bell of Washington. This is a
reversal Of his former construction of
the local option law. The latest
opinion was given on question sub
mitted by Stevens county, WASH.
which recently voted to abolish ga
looms. AS common carriers are for
hidden from carrying liquors into dry
territory, it is further held that a
warehouse may deliver what stock
it has on hand, but is unable to re-
plenish it's stock. The defeat of the
local option forces in Walla Walla is
the first important reversal they have
met. To date, they have won in 30
special elections and met defeat in
10. in that state.
