of latter day 'squires that flourish
still, and wax fat in the pursuit of their
t most laudable profession.
From a small beginning marriages by
a magistrate have grown to large proportions
and are looked upon with favor
by all classes of society, who seem now

* lation.
There are good reasons for this preference
which it were well to expiain.
, In the first place, such marriages are no
longer looked upon as disgraceful, as
, they were formerly held to be by most
persons. There has been a radical change
a of sentiment in this direction within the
last decade, so that now quite as much
g respectability attaches to one as the
other, and losses-sustained by the parson
in the abridgement of perquisites that
were formerly exclusively his have been
gained by the more jovial 'squire.* Indeed,
such are the inroads made upon
, the minister's income as to materially
lessen auxiliary earnings that brought
a temporal comfort to his household.

" future prospects, she is apt to become
the prominent one of two figures who j
, will seek this friendly Gretna by that i
method of procedure commonly recogtnized
as an "elopement."
Now and then clients return to make [

It is not uncommon for married
couples to return after two years, with
the offspring of their union, to exhibit it
to the magistrate. Frequently they
bring other suitors with them to be marenftf
nt'u uu iuv oj/wt
But the magistrate has a most useful
adjunct in the person of the "matrimonial
agent," or "lunner," or "steerer,"
or 4'bride-grabber," bp which pleasing
terms he is variously known, a character
whose audacity was never equaled in the
palmy days of the cab driver at Niagara.
The function of this gentleman is to
6erve the groom for a consideration, in
his laborious seurch for the matrimonial
office in a strange town; and that the
service is most attentively bestowed can
be attested by anyone at' all familiar
with the estimable agent's methods.

was Justice Ephraim Keigwin, a defiEEfci

SQUIRE KEIGWm's OFFICE
servedly popular gentleman, who has resided
here all his life. His urbanity and
kindliness of disposition made him fully
qualified, when coupled with his varied
experience, for the work which he has
in hand. Formerly a druggist, doinjj a
good business, he was in 1876 elected as
a magistrate, and since that time up to
November 30th of last year, has united
6783 couples in marriage. His tenuie of
office, which has been continuous, embraces
a period of sixteen years.
By the advantage which always come3
to those who first enter npon any line of
business, Justice Keigwin has easily
maintained the position of leader in the
profession of nia c&oice. ui tne variableness
of the fee which is his reasonable
compensation for service, it should be
stated that it ranges from $3 to $10, although
in one. case, such was the unspeakable
joy of his liberal client, $35

judge. The building in which his
office is located is his property, and
is well furnished.

identical positions, he ha; no mean competitor

Ware, who formerly held the honorable

Ware, who has lived forty-tbree years in

A Feminine Champion of the People's
Party.
Mrs. Mary Leas2, of Kansis, accompanied
General Weaver on h'S stumping
tour throughout the country during the
recent Presidential-canvas, and divided
the honors with him?winning the lion's
share, according to the Chicago Herald.
In many respects Mrs. Lease is a remarkable
woman. Thoss who have
heard her declare she has the gift of
oratory in a marked degree. Her deep,
powerful ucd resonant voice commands
instant attention and enables her hearers
to catch every word under circuir.stanccs

two hours in the open air to aa audience

to cut the air and penetrate to a great

and controlling. Her style is her own,
the sentences short and strong and
poured out with a volubility rarely
equaled. It is a torrent of soeech
launched at the most vunerable point of
attack indicated by her keen intelligence.
Her figure on the platform is

By many she is thought extremely handsome.
The accompanying picture gives
a correct idea of this champion of the
People's Party.
The domestic side of Mrs. Lease's life
is not the least of her creditable characteristics.
She is a iond mother and a
good wife. Her home is in Wichita,
where her husband, who is a pharmacist,
is engaged in business. Her children

The Bohemian Twins.
The twin sisters, Rosa and Josepha,
who were lately exhibited :n Vienna, excited
the interest, not only of scientists,
but also of the la^ public, on account of
the union ol their bodies. They were
born in Skreychow, Bohemia, and are
now fifteen years old. Their parents,
simple people named Blazel, gave them
up to the French fmpresario Forbe, who

first brought them before the public in
Paris at the "Theatre Imperial <3e la
Gaite," and is now taking them on a
tour through Europe.
Rosa and Josepha, of whom we pub
lish an engraving, aie not well grown
for their age, but are delicate and lrail.
Their complexion and hair are dark, and
their faces, which are very much alike,
show no traces of their nationality. As
will be seen from the cut, the first impression
is that they are two perfectly
formed individuals with a connection at
the hips, but an investigation proves
that this is not the case; for, although
the upper parts of their bodies are separate,
the backbones grow together in
the region of the coccyx, and there is
only one pelvis; strangely enough, however,
there are four legs instead of two.
Therefore, we have not two complete
beings that have grown together, but
two half female bodies, 60 to speak,
that are normally developed only as far
as the hips. Under the circumstances a
| separation by means of a surgical operaI
tion was impossible. When one half of
this unfortunate double creature dies,
.the other sister must soon meet the
same fate.?Illustrirte Zeitung.

TEMPERANCE.
THE RIVER OT HUM.
There's a river dark witn a murKy tiae,
Its banks are high and its current wide,
And its circling eddies are swift and strong,
Its constant roar is the siren's song.
The shores are all dark and mirey clay,
Strewn with life's hopes along the whole
way.
The father's pride has gone down its wave,
The man of great wealth as well as the slave,
The wise, the gifted, the brilliant and grand,
Have all been wrecked on ite blighting
strand:
She who but lately was a laughing bride
Now mourns alone by the river side;
The widows and orphans who cry for bread
Moarn for the father who was worse than
dead.
That river io made of many a rill.
But the cause of all comes out of the still,
The poison hid from the light of the sua,
Forms the vast tide of the River of Rum.

agents, however, will be empowered to sell

INTERMITTENT DRINKERS.
There would be littln use in my describing
what I believe to be the cause and the course
of intermittent drinking unless I set forth
my experience as to the various methods in
use to check or cure the disease. It may be
asked, "Has not a man a will poweif and
can he not of bis own volition abstain from
what he knows to be simply self-destru>
tion?" My answer, unhappily, must be that
a man who has once fairly fallen into the
drink habit, whether constant or intermittent,
has scarcely any will power while the
fit is on him; and,- as I have said, each fit
leaves bis will feeoler and less able to withstand
the temptation of a sedative of which
he has proved the power and of which he is
too prone to forget the danger.
The intermittent drinker, as soon as he
has abstained for a few weeks, forgets the
disastrous effects ot his last attack. He believes
himself as temperate and discreet a
man as any of his friends who takes his pint
bottle of claret at dinner and seldom takes
more. He does not see why he should not
do likewise. It is the hardest thing to convince
an intemperate drunkard, wbo is able
to abstain for a period, that he can never by
any chance become a moderate drinker.
Nevertheless, the principle of bis drinking is
distinct from that of a mo ierate man. If
he tries to return to his two or three glasses
of claret, be is absolutely certain to go on to
his secret "nip" of brandy or of whisky;
and bis "nips" will increase, and be will
find himself oack again in the old road to
ruin. The patient, if he really wants to be
cured, must clearly make up his mind tbat
it must be total abstinence or self-destruction,
gradual, perhaps, but not tbe less sure.
?National Review.
WORRY, DRINK AND LUNACY.
It is no new thing to hear of the close
connection between indulgence in alcohol
and the development ot insanity. Accordinglv
we feel no surprise at a statement by
Dr. Augustine Planus that a large proportinn
*\? f.twx rncoc nf lnnnnr in
Paris of late years are attributable to this
form of excess. Far mora significant is his
observation that drunkenness has increased
very markedly in the French capital. This
effect is. of course, due to a variety of causes.
Among these one is of particular intsreet
from its bearing upon the neurotic aspect of
the alcoholic dyscrnsia. It is the pressure
and worry of overwork, prodably combined
as usual in the like circumstances with irregular
feeding and want of sleep. Though
felt by all classes of workers, an important
characteristic of its action as a cause of alcoholism
is its increasing influence among
those who labor with their brains. Artists,
authors, and especially journalists?a group
of persons by no means usually given to excess?are
enumerated as having succumbed 1
to the subtle poison; and this result has,
doubtless with truth, been attributed to the,
craving depression of mental fatigue. It is
not difficult, indeed, to trace a connection
here, and we may accept it as a warning
that foroed labor is ever prone to become
the natural parent or otaer ana worse excseses.
The best work, however hard, is always
methodical enough to permit of timely
rest and of regular nutrition, and the tuil
recognition of this fact is a mere question of
public utility which we hope to sets more and
more widely admitted in practice.?London
Lancet.
ALCOHOL IN SUROKRT.
The Journal of Inebriety invitee attention
to the "Manual of Operative Surgery," by
the well known surgeon of the London Hospital,
Dr. Frederick Treves, in which, reierring
to the risks attending operations on
the bodies of drunkards, he says:
"A scarcely worse subject for an operation
can be found than is provided by the
habitual drunkard. The condition contraindicatee
any but the most neoessary and .
urgent procedures, such as amputation for
severe crush, herniotomy, and the like. Tbt
mortality of these operations among alcoholics
is, it is needless to sav, enormous.
Many individuals who state that they -*dc
not drink.' and who, although perhaps never
drunk, are vet always taking a little stimulant
in the form of 'nips' and an Occasional
glass,' are often as bad subjects for surgical
treatment as are the acknowledged drunkards."
, ?
"Of the secret drinkers," continues Mr.
Treves, "the surgeon has to be indeed aware.
In his account of 'Calamities ofr Surgery,'
Sir James Paget mentions the case of a person
who was a drunkard on the sly, and yet
not so much on the sly but that it was well
known to bis more intimate friends. His
habits were notaaiced alter, ana one or aif
Angers was removed because joint disease
bad spoiled It. He died in a week or tea
days with spreading cellular inflammation,
such as was far from nnlikely to occur in as
habitual drunkard. Even abstinence from
a Icohol for a week or two before an operation
does not seem to greatly modify the result.
Dwelling on the immense importance
to an operator of cultivating "a surgical
band," the same writer point* out that "a
shaky ban i may be developed by irregular
zaodes of living, by the. moderate use of alcohol,
and by sinoidng.'1
TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES.
A temperance society has been established
in Harvard College.
Frances WiUard is to spend some time irr
England with Lady Henry Somerset this
winter talking of temperance.
There are 27,000 places for the sale of
liquor in Paris, and throughout the RepuDlic
there is one saloon for every eightyseven
people.
The Chief of Polioe in Baltimore says that
he never found boys in the saloons until
lager beer was introduced and game3 prepared
to entice them in.
A law was passed in England in 1750 to
the effect that at parties "ladies must not
get drunk on any pretext whatever, and
gentlemen not before 9 o'clock."
Since women have been appointed State
librarians in Kentucky and Mississippi, an
absence of wnmy and tobacco is noticed,
and a reign of order and attention begun.
"Take something with me," remarked one
laboring man to another, beading him toward
a saloon. "Take something Irom
your wife and cnildren, you mean," replied
the other, and tho first man blushed uud ,
looked ashamed.
A friend to the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union of Moline, III., was Mrs.
Ann Atkinson, whose legacy oC $300 for the
work of the anion was accepted with deep
thankfulness and appreciation by her sorrowing
co-workers.
A zealous missionary has carried the war
from Africa into Medford. He delivered
an impassioned address in that ancient
Massachusetts town the other day and appealed
to the inhabitants not to ship any
more rum ta the East Indies.
The highest statistical authority in the
United States, David A. Wells, declares that
the yearly waste in the United States
through drink is at lease $500,000,030. la
forty years 110,000,000,003 have been thus
wasted. This is equal to the whole savings
of tbe people from 1783 to 1857.
The "Mint House" ot Boston.
The "mint house" in Boston existed
about thirtyTfour years. All the coins
issued trom it bore the dates 1652 or
1662, the same dies being used, probably,
throughout the thirty-four years of
coining. Seme coins had been made
in "RpMnuda for the use of the Virginia
colony as early as 1644. Copper coins,
bearing the figure of an elephant, were
Btruck in England for the Curolinas and
New England in 1684. Coins were also
Btruck for Maryland, bearing the effigy
of Lord Baltimore. A mint was established
at Rupert, Vt., by legislative
authority in 1785, whence copper cents
were issued, bearing on one side a plow
and a sun rising from behind hills, and
on the other a radiated eye, surrounded
by thirteen stare.?Boston Cultivator.

obtaining an artificial substance similar
to quinine in its effects, and the methcd
of making it is given as follows: The

Remijia pedunculata found growing in
Brazil is treated with sodium, and then
the combination thus obtained is treated
with chloride of methyl. The result of
this combination is a drug that is identical
with the substance which we know

Weeds as Big as Trees.
finae brush is known to scientists as
artemisia tridentata. Moat persons who
are familiar with it think of it as an
ordinary weed of small size, and even
so high an auihority as the Encyclopedia
Britannica refers to it as growing
in "treeless valleys and slopes." It will
astonish most persons to know that it
sometimes grows to suck proportions as
to provide a section of country with
trees of its own wood, producing gTOves >
of thick-trunked and comparatively tall
trees, instead of mere weeds. Professor
El wood Meade, the State Engineer of
Wyoming, while exploring the northern
and central parts of that State last summer,
came upon a district where the
sage brush thrived-thus gigantically.
Many of tbe sage trees tftat He saw were
eighteen feet high, with trunks at laast
a foot in diameter. This was in the Big
Horn Bafin, east of the National Yellowstone
Park and northeast of the Wind
River Indian reservation, where the No
Wood River joins the Big Horn.
Professor Meade leturned to Cheyenne
enthusiastic in his praise of the basin
now little known except to the stockmen
whose cows range there. It is as
big as some of tbe older States, and
will provide plenty of water for irrigation
from the tributaries of the Big Horn
River. Sfeveral very large irrigable
tracts have been surveyed already. No
railroads yet reach the district, but the
Burlington and Missouri Railroad is
building to Sheridan in the county of
that name, and has employed its agents
to "spy out the land" beyond. Professor
Meade had never seen such big sage
brush as he discovered there, but since
his return he realizes the truth of Solomon's
assertion that there is no new
thing under the sun, because he has been
informed that at some point in Calfornia
the same weed "grows to such proportions
that the people cut it for cord
wood."?San Francisco Examiner.
