OF the large revers. Some are long

Maine.

OF courre, it is to be greatly re-
GREETED that, in the political reyo-
luton in Maine, the prohibitory
law is endangered, and will prob
ably be repealed. But this is not
to be taken as conclusive evidence
that the American people r re-
lapsing from their high position
on the liquor question. 1t means
simply that, so far as Maine is
concerned, the population has
greatly changed within the past
two decades. When the law was
enacted, Maine was pre-eminently
a State of native Americans, of
the old stock. But, being a "good
State to emigrate FROM" the
young people have in large num-
bers gone to more inviting fields
in the west, while Canadian French
Roman Catholics have taken their
places on the farms and in the
shops and mills. - Herald and

No Saloons; No Crime.

A peculiar condition of affairs
exists in Newaygo county, Mich
igan. The county is "dry'' under
local option, and, as the sheriff
depends on the fees of his office
for a living, he has had to keep
his family out of his own pocket,
since the county is ''dry." There
is absolutely nothing doing in a
criminal way, and consequently
the fees are few and far between,
1t has actually become necessary
for the supervisors of the county
to allow the sheriff a salary. Had
not the sheriff resources of his
own he would have had to throw
up his job. The supervisors have
granted him a salary of $500 a
month and expenses, although the
people are wondering what need
they have for such an official

Hat Wearing and prauahts.

Draughts in parliament are credited
with partial responsibility for mem
bers' custom OF wearing their hats,
which some, however, have even re-
garded as Inherited from the old open
ar mcots. But privilege and tradi-
ton are factors also. When IA years
ago it was proposed at the London
county council to start hat wearing
because of the draughts at Spring
Gardens, the council decided not to
ape the manners of parliament"
Lord Onslow nobly declined to make
a party question Of "a natural in
trinity like a bald head" Formerly
fear Of d~raughts led to the wearing of
hats even at dinner, though 1t was
good manners not to put on your hat
until your host did. Pepys records

my hat at dinner, sitting with the
wind in my cheek."-London Chroni.

Modern Hospital Needs


What are these needs Of modern
hospitals which necessitate SO much
more space than was ever Thought of
in the days Of the primitive barrack
type Of wards, some Of them erected
even within the past decade, and how
have such needs arisen? Briefly. they
may be said to include all that is done
for the patient apart from the giving
OF GOD and medicines, and they have
arisen from the extraordinary prog.
ress Of medical science, particularly
in the fields Of bacteriology, serum
therapy and pathology, and in the
adaptation for medical use of the re.
cent discoveries in the electrical and
mechanical sciences. Moreover. the
hospital has become a center for in
vestigation, research and education to
an extent never imagined before-The
Century.

Century Old Churches,

An interesting fact, and to many
people a surprising one, is that of the
5000 Congregational (orthodox)
churches now existing in the United
States 1853, or more than 12h pei
cent, were organized a century or
more ago and have since continued
their activities in company with the
American board. All of them are 10,
Gated in New England, New York,
New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
In Connecticut 60 per cent. of the
present 1872 Congregational churches
are at least 100 years old, as are
more than one-half of those in New
Hampshire, nearly one-half in Yer
mont and about 40 per cent. in Mass
achusetts. Only that Il considerable
number Of churches that were Cor
gregational then are Unitarian now
the proportion would be somewha,
larger.

Defends Her Sex.

Mrs. Stevens at the w. c. 7. u.
Council in Baltimore, said: "We
are sometimes told that drinking
among women is on the increase
and we are like wise told that there
is much cigarette smoking among
the women. In the course of my
travels in America, | have never
seen a woman with a cigarette in
her mouth, except in certain To-
calities in New Mexico, where the
surroundings were not at all
pleasant to contemplate. l am
happy in believing that the women
who smoke tobacco in any form
are very few in this country" -

"Catch My PAIL

We have already noted the
growth of the Catch My Pal Move
ment in Ireland. As its name in
dicates, it is a movement for the
rescue of men who are degrad ed
in sin by one who has himself
been saved by Gods grace. Each
reformed man is to seek the re-
form of his most intimate friend.
The movement originated in
Armagh, Ireland, in 1909. On July
ID of that year Rev. R. j. Patter-
son, a Presbyterian minister in
that city, saw six drunken men
lounging in a street near his
home. He promptly drafted a
pledge, and these six men were
charter members of what is called
the great protestant Total Alb
stinence Union" At the first an
~niversary celebration last July,
Mr.. Patterson reported that 1870, 900
men and women were enrolled,
~pledging themselves with a vow
''for God and home and native
land to 9 this thing through"
From Ireland the organization has
spread into England, Scotland,
America and South Africa. One
great source of it's growth is the
requirement that each signer shall
bring a friend to sign the same
pledge.-Herald and Presbyter.

The Dinglev tariff made multi


The Dingley tariff made multi
millionaires out of cotton mill ope-
rators in a decade. 1t would seem
that these men who had grown
rich beyond the dream of avarice
| would have been satisfied with the
Dingley cotton schedule. But greed
knows no bounds and the average
rate of duties collected on manu-
featured cotton goods under the
Payne-Aldrich bill is 20 per cent
higher than under the Dingley bill.
For example, s pieces of 54-inch
cotton covert, costing abroad n
cents per yard, used for ladies'
skirts and children's suits, paid
$43.34 under the Dingley tariff Of
35 per cent, but under the new
duty it paid s cents per square
yard, or $62.S8, an increase of
| about 30 per cent. An importa-
| ton of four pieces of 54-inch mer-
cerized cotton costing abroad 35
cents per yard would have paid
under the Dingley duty $31.14, but
actually paid under the new tariff
$41.S3, an increase of "a per cent.
Thus this additional ex%tortionate
tariff tax ON cotton goods will now
proceed to make billionaires out Of

REAL WALLINGFORD is
SPOKANE PRISONER
Being Tried on Charge of securing
Funds on Worthless Invention.

Spokane. Wash.-Phillipe Vignoh'
former associate of Marconi, inventor
of wireless telegraphy, who was ap-
prehended in Los Angeles several
months ago on the charge of obtaining
$4,000 bv false pretenses from Antonio
Scarpelli, a local contractor, has made
7 Rufus Wallingford's most ambitious
schemes appear as the work of a no.
vice. according to the testimony au-
duced at q trial now in progress III
the Spokane county superior court IN
this city.
Scarpelli alleges that V.gnoli rep
resented he had an invention in nina
whereby he would be enabled to see
around the world. adding that when
the apparatus was perfected Scarpel-
| Ii would have no difficulty in meeting
| face to face, as it were, his relatives
in Italy at any time or the day or
| night.
Vignoli, the principal witness testi-
| fled. told him that mountains, sky
scrapers, ramparts of Steel waves of
the sea and all the obscuring elements
must give way to the powerful lenses
and ingenious contr-vances as easily
as the plate glass of a show window
affords light to the structure. Scarpel-
Ii advanced more than $4,000 to the
inventor on this representation.
The specific charge Is that Vignoli
secured $500 from Bertha Scarpellt
niece of the complaining witness, by
telling her that Scarpelli told him that
he might have the money. The sirI
gave it to him on the understanding
that the money was to be used in per-
fecting the invention. Instead, how
ever, Vignoli HE'D himself to the sun
ny south, where he lived as gentle
man of leisure.
While in Los Angeles Vignoli lis

strength, superbly played. A man
memory lost because Of an accident
at sea, is restored 20 him through
hearing the song his wife sang when
they were first married. A feature

2. "The stuff Heroes Are Made
Of" Biograph. A young author
spends the summer at the homestead
and becomes quite impressed by Alice
and Jennie, the two daughters of his
hostess. on the evening Of his de-
parture, mamma and papa go for
visit to be away over night. Several
girl friends come to spend the night.
An ugly looking tramp breaks in,
frightening the girls, with the ex-
ception of Alice, out Of Their wits. Her
sisters locket is down stairs and she
braves the danger to get it, by pre-
tending to be sleepwalking. Her
scheme worked well until she tries
to overpower the burglar. She puts
up a stubborn fight, which terminal
ed in her favor, for the author re-
turned for a forgotten suit case. He
is not long in realizing who is the
real one of the sisters and they are
happily married.
g. "Provng His Love-" Vita

tful pictures that has ever been
shown. A clever ruse, a young act
ress tests the sincerity of her many
admirers and accepts the man who
proved equal to it. Florence Turner
plays the parts of the actress and
Maurice Costello is the lucky man.

perfectly willing that the family doc
tor should dope" her up to his
hearts content. But when it comes
to setting a neither limb-"No, no,

Jealousy" Vitagraph. This
reaches the height of supreme art
and is one of the grandest eXhibi-
tions of all the emotions ever display
ed. The favorite Miss Florence E.
Turner performs the entire portrayal
In this picture the vitagraph actors
have rendered an adequate idea of
the deep jealousy which may some
times possess the soul of q woman.
The alternate flashes of uncontroll-
able anger and the equally dark
depths of despair are played with
power by the leading actress. She
carries her audience with her. so
strong is her action. Then comes the
final scene, the passing of the wine
Of death, the flash of the dagger, the
clasp OF the dead hand and oblivion.
When the last scene disappears from
the screen the audience feels as if
it had looked upon something be-
sides a silent drama.
