The penalty for Sunday opening is changed, making it a fine of from tweuty- " five to out hundred dollars fo ra first offense and a money fine or imprisonment, for a second offense. The old law made it twenty-five dollars and imprisonment for all of­ fenses. This gave the liquor dealer a jury trial, and in Cities the police court jury made this a farce. 'The tiewbiU ini reuses the money fine and does away with tji.e jury trial * for a first offense. This is what temperance people have been working for in the. large cities for several years, but without success, « __ _g. a brewery could sell hyvik e gallon or forbeverage purposes underaprqhibitory , ordinance, and practically become a saloon. This was done at Cambridge, Ohio, The Beyl law prohibits the manufacturer from selling, furnishing or giving away intoxicating iquors for beverage purposes,'except-to hona fide retaij liquor dealers and in wholesale quantities to persons residing outside of tho-municipality. . 4. The enforcement of law is made easier: An ordinance could not be enforced except by municipal officers, The new. law may be enforced by the county officers ns well.

It does away with the club rooms imd bottling houses, and a score of other forms of speak-easivs that were operated under the ordinance, in defiance to the Spirit' of the ordinance, but nut 10 the letter of it. , 9. It relieves village and city councils from one of the most annoying questions - with- which they had to deal. There will now be an opportunity to elect councihnen on tljeir merits as business men, able to. take care of the business interests of the "town, rather than'on-their attitude to the saloon question. Under the former conditions both ' the business interests and temperance interests often suffered. - to. It gives temperance people a uniform law for municipalities that cannot be • tampered with hv councils. The Beal bill frames, the Jaw in every detail which is to go into effect in cack municipality ns soon as they indicate by a majority vote that -they want h to go into effect,----------- rr. The affidavit for the arrest of violators is made simple and clear by a specific provision in the new law. Under the ordinance, it;was a technical and difficult thing to draw, and very many of the affidavits'prepared by mayors were declared insufficient “ before the case' was concluded, and the officer was discouraged with this kind of litiga- ’lion, 1 ■ ■ , . ~ T2.- It gives any state-wide temperance organization a better chance io enforce the law. The law being uniform for every municipality, blank forms for practically atl stages in the procedure of the case can be prepared and supplied to officers and those friendly to law And order. This was impossible under the old system. 13.

A Reflection Upon the Feminine Gump of Locallty.- Why is it that a woman’s bump of locality is" so much ’more feebly developed, than a nwm’s^asks the Baltimore News. Put a-niun down on a country roud and the proba­ bilities are'.that ho will' find his way wherever ho "wishes to go with­ out'having to ask at nearby farm­ houses for directions. - Insliliet seems to guide him. Put a woman in tho saino position and she will irretrievably lose herself in .ten minutes and bavo to be sought for by resolute inen for hours before she is, finally brought,back to civili­ zation, Perhaps it is that tho weaker sox is unobservant* Even in, cities many of its members do not notlco buildings closely enough to permit them to find their way about, and certainly they -would hot notico in the country the big gum treo that they pass here or tho haw bush that marks tho Intersection of the two roads there, Willi the Bun low In the west there are numbers of women who can’t toll the points of tho compass* and if they could would not know in what direction their homes lay. - When it comes to noting the de­ tails of a costume* few feminines fail to observe even tho tiniest bit of braid or the smallest bow, but trees and houses are different and less interesting things, and ro in. a strange town or in the woods the fair travelers lose themselves in no time and havo to bo rescued and set again upon tho path by EOmo ono with a better sense of location than they can boast.

Constans* the French embassador at Constan­ tinople* who is a bitter opponent of ^backsheesh” politics* carried with him several casks filled with Sevres porcelain statues of “LaBaigneuse.” Soma of these were with pedestals* and others were without pedestals. Thero is scarcely a Turkish minister or functionary in Pern or Stamboul who is not tho possessor of a replica of the bathing g irt Those with pedestals were reserved for impor­ tant officials at tho sultan’s palace of Yildiz. One of tho mhstors of Ceremony is reported to have received d pres­ ent from M. Constans of a “Bai- gneuso” and after examining it sup­ posed that there must bo a hand­ some present in cash concealed in the pedestal. The pedestal was bro­ ken open and found to bo empty. The functionary then imagined that tile statue intended for him must have boon exchanged by mistake and sept to somo other official or lessor magnitude. So* in order to ascer­ tain tho truth* the palace official, who happened to meet tho Frencn embassador a t a diplomatic dinner, remarked, “I wish to thank you for the beautiful present you sent me.” The embassador smiled affably in acknowledgment, and tho official continued: ’‘The pedestal was also 1 beautiful.

' The following is instructic/n for making a tin can locomotive, which is very simple: - !" The boiler of the locomotive is a baking powder can, tho rear wheels are covers of the same, the cab is qn oblong tin box, tho smokestack is a spool and the forward whe61 is an­ other spool. Uut along the lower, edge of tho tin box only nud turn up tho tin for throe-fourths of an inch and at right angles to the piano, of the box. Boro twowholes in tho sides of tiro cab' for the knitting needlo axle. Boro a hole in the cen­ ter of tho wheels, slip the axle through tho_ holes in the cab, slide tho wheels oveFTHo"ends of this and fasten securely to the axle. Fasten tho boiler to the.cab, resting the back of it on tho turned up tin. Fasten two pieces of cardboard to tho forward part of the boiler and boro a hole through tho lower ends . of these. Plug tiro holes of the spool to be used ns the front wheels with wood* place between tho cardboard strips and sticky ordinary pins through tho holes in the strips and in the center of the plugs for axles. The headlight is supported on a square of cardboard fastened to the boiler. Carefully fasten a piece of clastic in position as follows: Tie one, end around tho center of the axle inside the cab* pass the loose end through the long, narrow open­ ing in the lower part of the cab and fasten it with plenty of sealing wax to tho front, end of tho boiler. The elastic should bo as long as from tho front of tho boiler to the axle. An elastic band cut in two a t one end or a number- of small clastic bands tied together will answer ad­ mirably. To set tho locomotive in motion turn the tin wheels back­ ward until quite a lot of the clastic Is wound up On the axle? then* hold­ ing the wheels firmly, set the loco­ motive on tho floor, when it will travel for a distance of twenty-five feet or more. Cara are made of matchboxes* _ _ _ _ _ ^ A LITTLE NONSENSE.

We were going north to cruise in the Okhotsk sea. The skipper was before „the mast then. He -was a chap that didn’t have to see a . thing done more than twice before he could do .it'himself. “I handled the harpoons in the mate’s-boat* and little .Blue Fin, as we called our cap’n that is now, pulled the bow oar in the same craft.

We lowered away, however, bur three boats— mate’s, second mate's and third’s. “ ‘I’ll take that fellow up to wind’ardl’ called our officer as he pointed to a big whale-that'was playing around on tho outside of the school as though he was placed there to protect the cows and calves that were huddled together in the middle from any danger. “ ‘Look out, Bill,’ says the mate to mo as he stood grasping tha steering oar. ‘Look out, man, and don’t miss him. -There’s a good hundred barrels there.’ “ ‘Aye, aye, sir,’ said L Tjay'xne: on closo enough* and I ’ll drive bo th ; irons into him clear to the heck- ois.’. “Thero was no.danger but what ho?d .do it, for the-fellow didn’t- know what i t was to be afraid of a. whale. I wasn’t going to tako any chances, so I waited tiff the boat al­ most touched the big brute, then.
