OUR MORE ABSTINENT PEOPLE.

(From the San Francisco Bulletin)
a statement, based on statistics, to the
effect that the consumption of intoxi-
cants is rapidly on the increase and In
money value has passed the two billion
dollar mark per year is hardly credible.
The contradiction OF any such statement
faces one at every turn.
In the first place. nearly half the Uni
ted States is dry. The old slave States
embracing fully one-quarter of the
population of the United States
have with great unanimity outlawed the
liquor traffic. All through the border
States, the northwest and the West there
are Saharas continually advancing theic
frontiers
In the second place, public opinion is
frowning down the liquor habit in a
way that strikes home. 1t Is operating
in a sort Of cold-bloodcd way through
business. Time was when everyone dali
lied moro or less frankly with the en-
envy. The lawyer. the doctor. the oank-
err and the general man of affairs began
the day with the matutinal cocktail and
! wasn't entirely out OF touch during his
waking hours. That is all changed. The
successful man to-day Is the sober man.

AFTER THE BROWN TAIL MOTH.
(From the Landmark)

The new commissioner of agriculture.
Z. S. Brigham of St. Adams, is keeping
right after the brown tail and gypsy
moths. The report Of the government ex-
pert. L. II. Worthy, Of the bureau of
entomology OF the United States depart
ment OF agriculture. confirms the fears
of the commissioner that the infestation
is quite widespread. 1t Is fortunate that
there is apparently little danger of the
woodlands becoming infested. The EN-.
ployment by the commissioner. with the
approval of the governor, of an inspector
to look after the suppression of the in
sects Is a wise move. Harold L. Bailey
OF Newbury, Mass. Is the man chosen
for this work because of mis- experience
in the badly infested district of that
State. Vermont should profit by the ex-
perience OF Massachusetts, which spent
| $40, 0O0, 900 because tho proper measures of
! suppression were not taken at first and
| Is now appropriating $4,000 annually,
MI Bailey IS TO make a thorough in
| spectlon during the coming summer.
Again we urge the cooperation of all
! citizens with those who are directing the
campaign of determination. Let no one
| question the wisdom of taking energetic
measures at the start or of spending q
sufficient sum to do the work properly

All precedent was shattered on the board
aldermen Monday, when, at the adj

dies were present to see what action
ould be taken on the matter of a rest

appropriated at once to fit up the rooms

employed to look after the room.

A wOMAN's POINT OF VIEW.

At the present moment there is FUR
panic in Paris, and women are rushing
to buy--at the end of the reaSon-care-
less of the Insurance against moths and
fire, and paying prices such as they would
not have dreamed of a year ago,
The precious fur bearing animals are
disappearing, SO runs the story. A chin
chnla ulster with silver fox collar may
cost between 5000 and $4,000. A sable
mantle las cost from $4,000 to $4,000.
Chinchilla with ermine lining may come
between $500 and $500
In a few exclusive fur shops. when
| especially costly garments are exposed
they whisper: Loot of Picking"
| What is the most expensive fur Of all!
| Except, always, the sea otter, there Is ne
natural skin so beautiful or valuable as
the sable. Entirely apart from fashion
sables are intrtnsically precious, just like
gold and gems In Paris, st. Petersburg
! Berlin and Vienna no lady of position
| omits to include a set of them In hel
trousseau When well cared for by ex
perts they may be handed down from
| one generation to another. This is how
the precious above-all, the unique sea otte
furs of certain Paris families, dating from
the retreat from Moscow still survive Il
