If people could see those who con-
sumo intoxicating liquors howmuch
better it is for them to give liquor q
wide berth, how much happier homes
they could lave; the better clothes
they could wear and the excellent
health they could enjoy. They
would cease to be consumers.
Just as soon as the people stop
consuming liquor just that soon will
all saloons, distilleries, etc., &c out
of business. You would not expect
grocery store to quit business be-
cause a few stopped trading with
| it! But if everyone stopped con-
suming groceries, the grocery store
would naturally have to quit bust
ness. So it is with saloons.

The good old name of John Smith
does not suggest in English any
great degree of aristocracy, but
transferred to other languages it
seems to climb the ladder SO to
speak. Thus in Latin it is johann
mes Smithus, the Italian smooths it
off into Giovanni. Smith. the Span
lards render it Juan Smithus, the
Dutchman Ians Schmidt, the French
hatten it out into Jean Smeet. and
Russian says Jonloff Smithowki.
When John Smith gets into the tea
trade in Canton he becomes Jovan
Schimmit, if he chambers about
Mount Hecla the Icelanders refer to
him as Jaime Smlthson; if he trades
among the Truscaroras he becomes
Ton Ga Smitta; in Poland he is
known as IvonSchmittineiski; should
he wander among the Welsh noun
tains they talk of Jihon Scmidd;
when he goes to Mexico he is called

THE. following small paragraph
was found tucked away in an old
biography Of Thomas Jefferson, and
should offer a good object lesson to
those who make promiscuous use of
government ranking privileges:
'Thos. Jefferson never ranked
letters for any members of his fam
lily, and. correspondents frequently
enclosed in those directed to- him,
were letters for some Of his family,
but Mr.. Jefferson invariably gave
notice of the fact to the postmaster
of the place. and had the postage OF
all such letters charged to him"

A MOVEMENT has been started
in Arkansas to abolish the old con-
vict lease system and to use the
prisoners either on road work or on
the state farm. At present most Of
the prisoners are leased out to pri-
waite contractors for an average of
As cents per day. Arkansas has a
law which permits each county to
take its own prisoners from the
state prison at any time, and acting
under this law, Pulaski county, i'll
which the city of Little Rock is sit
uated. has Withdrawn her prisoners
ard put them to work on her roads.
At present, ten miles eff first class
road have been constructed at a
cost of So, 800 per mile, and Judge
Asher of Little Rock states that had
the same road been built under con
tract it would have cost at least 81,
900 or $4,000 per mile.

The progress of civilization has
made such great advancement in re-
cent years that many people have
found themselves unable to keep
stride with the times, and now seem
to find their only consolation in
dreary lamentations for the things
that are. and signing for the return
of what they call the good old
times. Yet on the whole we think
that the world has cause to congrat-
ulate itself that the good old times
are no more. and that they are now
but memories belonging to a world
of shadows-the unsubstantial and
crumbling past.

Health Department,
Care of The Cell
w. C. Van o.

While the rules as to the care of
the cell are very rigid, yet a good
deal of latitude is left to the ,indi-
vidual occupant. For a mans OWE
sake he should be very careful not
to allow anything such as dust or
dirt to accumulate. 1t is not wise
to keep anything in the cell that is
not absolutely needed. Old news
papers and magazines that have
been passed around and have ac-
quired a nice assortment of disease
germs should be thrown away as
soon as read. Any prisoner can
have one or two magazines placed
in his cell for his Sunday reading
by applying to the dollhouse Cap
tain, who is always ready tolisten
to any reasonable request for read
ing matter, and there is no excuse
| for keeping a pile of old rubbish
laying around during the week.
Ornamentation of the cell by means
of pictures, postcards, etc, is mere
| ly means of providing more nest
ing places for vermin. If you pre-
fer the vermin, why of course fill up
your cell with cheap magazine pic
lures; but if you don't, clean out all
the cheap rubbish and let the white
washer have easy access to the walls.
Don't keep any old rags in your
cupboard, and above all things don't
keep dirty damp clothes hanging on
strings across your cell, or on the
electric light wire See that your
light bulb is clean and free from
dust, many men in here who COM
plain of poor eyesigbt could see a
good deal better if they wiped the
dust from their light bulb once in a
while. If you stop to think that
you have to occupy that little cell
! for twelve hours out of every twen-.
ty-four, surely it must be self-evi-
dent that everything in the shape of
health is to be gained by giving your
cell the most careful attention. In
regard to the care Of the cell it can
! safely be said:. eternal carefulness is
the price of health.

A LAW which has been introduced
IN the Massachusetts legislature,
which if passed, would surely ac-
quaint the legislator with the lives
of those beneath. 1t provides that:
Every senator and representative
shall be required to live one month
in tenement in the Boston slums.
He shall spend five days al nd
nights in different prisons of the
state, receiving the same treatment
in every respect as the prisoners
He shall pass two nights in ten-cent
Boston lodging houses a ID three
consecutive nights in the Hawkins
street Wayfarers' Lodge, doing ev.
erything required of the ordinary
inmates. Little Falls Herald.

strongest argument that the prohi-
bitionists ever had is a drunken
man Keeling along the streets"
The family of the drunken man,
it seems to us, would present a bet
ter argument. Children of these
men generally are in want, with
only clothes enough to cover their
nakedness; not enough to eat unless
they beg or steal; wives working
themselves to death trying to make
both ends meet. while the husband
is spending his time in the saloon
around the corner.
The drunken man reeling along
the street is no argument. lie is
only disgusting spectacle.
But to come down to brass lacks,
as the saying goes, is the saloon
keeper to blame? No. He h a 8
taken this occupation to make liv-
ing; buying his liquor from the
wholesale house. No, wait min
ute! It's not the wholesalers fault,
he gets it from the distillery and
our good Uncle Sam collects rev.
enne tax from the distiller for all
liquor that he sells. You had better
drop the idea of going after Uncle
Sam. He generally runs things to
suit himself.
So it seems that the only man left
to lay the blame on is the consumer.
