said that local prohibition did not
hurt the liquor traffic and favored the
enrolment of enough votes to carry
the motion before asking them to
vote the ticket, and gave many evil
dences to show that this question was
uppermost in the minds of the people.
He asked repeatedly, what shall be
the attitude of the government to-
ward this traffic? He was greeted by
good audience.

TAKING VOLTAGE or CURRENT
Electricians Experimenting to Deter
mine How Far the Spark
Can Jump.

By measuring how far an electric
currenl can jump through the air
from one piece of metal to another
electricians can determine the volt
age OF a current; and it is by setting
current to making broad jumps and
then scoring the feat with a tape
measure that the very high voltages
used nowadays are ordinarily meas
ured. But the judges of these ath-
letic feats have recently determined
that the electricity jumps much more
surely from some sparks than from
others, just as man Is not likely to
jump so well from q mud spot as from
firm ground.
Spark gaps, as these jump measures
trio spark that jumps across the gap,
have been made of needlepoints. says
the Saturday Evening Post Now it
has been found that if metal spheres
are used, and the electricity made to
jump from one to the other, the re-
suit is more accurate; and sphere
spark gaps are replacing the needle
point Jumps.
Even with spheres - jump from
the athletic electricity is not entirely
satisfied unless each sphere is as big
in diameter as the jump the current
expected to make With such spheres
the spark of a current of 100000 volt
age will break down when the spheres
are little more than Is inches apart.

1t is said that Oldham, in Lanca

earth and the most prosperous town
in Britain, says the indianapolis
News. In and about this place there
are 100000 people. about as many as
are now claimed for Indianapolis. but
compared with this city few there are

Oldham, which has more spindles 60

dent, there is no town in the world
where so many of the workers own
the houses in which they live" In
this town they have 17,750,000 cotton
spindles. One works employs 10000
men and boys. But. though thrifty
and money-savers, the inhabitants are
the saddest looking people in Lanca-
Shire, and the public houses are quite
too literally patronized

Hare ENJOYED the sIna,na

The late Rev. r. Eastcrote of Exc
ter. England, once told the story of
five choristers who, one Sunday eve
ming, were walking along che banks
of the Mersey in Cheshire. After a
time they sat down on the grass and
began to sing an anthem. A hare pass
ing with great swiftness toward the
place where they were sitting stopped
at about 20 yards distance from them.
She appeared to be highly delighted
with the music, and as soon as the
singing ceased returned slowly to the
wood. When she had nearly reached
the end of the field the choristers be-
gan to sing again. The hare stopped,
turned round and came swiftly to the
same place, and remained listening in
seeming rapture and delight until the
singing ceased, when she returned to
the wood

HIS BRAIN WORKED SLOWLY
Small Boy Turned Statement Made
by His Teacher to Good
Advantage.

Strange to say" said the school
teacher, addressing his class of boys,
our brain acts as telephone to the
different parts of our body. Uncon-
sciously, before we move our feet or
hands, the message comes from the
brain"
Jack Murphy, what are you grin
ming at?" he demanded.
Il was thinking of somethin', sir"
came the answer.
well, think OF something thatll do
your brain little good" retorted the
master
Here, come out of that!"-as an
other grin spread itself over the
saucy youngsters face. Just stand
behind the board for half an hour,
and I'll give you something to grin
about aiterwardl"
At the expiration of the lesson MUIR
ply was recalled.
Hold your hand out!" demanded
the teacher, switching his cane.
No response from the stolid Muir
ply, who appeared to be thinking
hard.
DO you hear me, Murphy" exclaim-
ed the exasperated man.
Eyes, SIR he answered, "but my
brain hasn't sent the message down

How conceptions of travel have

Writing of the Bath road, Mr.. Iris

1880 thu time had come down to two
days, and the pious saving clause was
omitted. God permit" according to
Crosse, was regular slang term for
the old stage coach, and readers of
Scott will remember what the Anti

STRICT ENGLISH COURT RULE
Queen, Shocked at Laxity In Society,
Makes Erasures In Her Wis
itinq Lists.

Queen Mary is making her infiu-
ence and her strong personality felt at
court In no uncertain manner, and
those who wish to be received and to
be held in good repute within its
charmed circle must look well to their
manner of going.
Never before have there been SO
many erasures from submitted lists
and never has the line been so sharp
ly drawn as to the proper qualifica-
tions as at the present time, the New
York Herald's London correspondent
states. No lady who steps out Of her
sphere of true womanliness and cor
rect feminine modesty; no one who
has a breath of scandal against her
or him (for the male sex is also in,
Guided In the ban), and, above all, no
individual who has figured as q prin-
cipal in the divorce court need seek
to find favor with Queen Mary, and
such one applying for command"
to the royal presence will surely meet
with a prompt refusal
The queen-and the king is said to
be in cordial agreements deter
mined that her court shall, as far as
possible. be one Of absolute purity.
She has been much shocked at the
many causes celebrss and their I'M
edifying details, as we'll as by the So
called recreations and amusements of
a certain section of society. More
over, it is reported that the queen
views with great dislike any further
laxity In connection with the divorce
law. She regards the marriage tie
as sacred and binding. and while de-
ploring the lightness with which in
many cases the contracts are under
taken. she yet holds that once it has
been entered into it should be held IN
violate.
1t is even whispered that Queen
Mary has brought her influence to
bear on the subject to very material
extent and that government inaction
with regard to the findings of the re.
cent divorce commission is thus not
little accounted for.

Grain Market

CHICAGO, Nov &c. Wheat today
took a fresh upward bound, with
buying decidedly active, The cause
was a cable from Buenos Aires say
ing that the crop on 100000 acres
had been entirely destroyed by
drought and heat. 1t was also as
serted that the outlook was poor IN
two other important districts. Open
ing prices were isQh to ss@1a higher,
and the market made a material
further advance.
Damage in Argentina is estimated
to involve more than 100000 acres,
one-third of the entire country. Late
reports of rain. though, led to a re-
action The close was steady, A@S
to II net higher.
Unreasonable mild weather in ILL
nois and Iowa gave tirmness to the
corn market Trade, however, was
only moderate The opening. which
WAS unchanged to u higher. was
followed by d slight additional rise.
Smallness of shipments from the in
terrier helped to harden prices. The
close was steady at 4 net advance.
Oats reflected the strength of other
grain. but did so in a half-hearted
manner. Offerings were light.
Bulls had control of provisions. An
advance at the yards was mainly re-
sponsible First sales ranged from
last nights level to 5@7ia up with
the market afterward continuing up
grade
