The Lawlessness of the Liquor Traffic The Watchman thoughtfully and judiciously comments on the recent volume entitled "The Liquor Problem in its Legislative Aspect," aid espe cially emphasizes the fact brought out in the volume with the utmost clear ness that the liquor traffic, organized and unorganized, "is an arrogant and lawless power that as yet knows no master but its own will, and no pur pose but its own gain." The Watch man forcibly adds: "Wherever we go in the whole country, we find the liquor -trade biding in bold publicity and open e:ff>ontery. seeking its own base ends by a lawlessness that is as universal as its own existence. And because of this lawlessness the liquor problem in its relation to municipal affairs is 'the eterual question' of our country. This lawlessness of the traffic has not received anything like the attention it deserves. Most of the appeals against the traffic are I based upon the results of intemp? rance upon the individual ,and the public demonstration and cost. But this book gives a most convincing array of?evidence that the liquor traf fic, by its own nature, is systemati cally and persistently in antagonism with the law of the land and of th? community, no matter what it is." The weakness in the pi?sent program of mo Storni: ai ci pal ref o rn: er s is that they make no thoroughgoing provision .. fer the elimination of the influence of the saloon from the government of our cities.

"Josiah Allen's Wife," in giving the world at large a piece of her mind on the subject'of license, asks the fol lowing questions in her homely but pointed fashion : "If a deadly serpent had broken loose from some circus, and was writhin' and twistin' his way through Jonesville, swallerin' down a man or a woman every few days, would men stand with their- hands in their pockets, or leanin' up against barn . doors a-whittlin', arguin' feebly from year to year, whether it was best, after all, to let him go free? After they had seen some of their best friends swallowed down by it, wouldn't they chase it into any hole they could get it into? Wouldn't they turn the first key on it they could get a hold? of? And if it broke loose from that, wouldn't they try another key, and another, till they got one that would hold him? Do you suppose they would rent out that serpent at so much a year to crunch and swaller folks accordin' to law? And would it be any easier for the folks that was crushed and swallowed, and for the survivin' friends of the same, if they was killed by act of Congress?" An Englishmen who insulated his bedstead by placing underneath each post a broken-off bottle, says he had not been free from rheumatism or gout for fifteen years, and that he-begun to improve immediately after thc appli cation of the insulators. A paper, quoting this, wisely adds: "There's many a fellow who could cure his gout if he would break off thc bottoms of his glass bottles in time." During thc winter of 1897 Mr. James Reed, one of the leading citizens and merchants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va., struck his leg against a cake of icc in such a manner as to bruise it severely. It became very much swollen and pained him so badly that he could not walk without the aid of crutches, lie was treated by physicians, also used several kinds of liniment and two and a half gallons of whiskey in bathing it, but nothing gave any relief until he began using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This brought almost a com plete cure in a week's time and he be lieves that had he not used this rem edy his leg would have had to be am putated. Pain Balm is unequaled for sprains, bruises and rheumatism. For sale by Hill-Orr Drug Co. Coming1 to One's Self. In ail Episcopal churches on Sun day last the XV Chapter of St. Luke was read'as the second lesson in the morning service. The truth, which the whole chapter teaches, of the joy in Heaven over repentant sinners is so familiar to us that we listen to it almost with indifference; but there is one expression in the story of the Prodigal Son that cannot fail to strike the most careless listener as remark able, although that beautiful parable has been so hackneyed, and so parodied by would-be humorists as to have been almost robbed of its force and effect. After telling of the riotous life of the Prodigal, and how it had ended by reducing him to such pov erty that he sought the meanest of all employments, and was fain to share the coarse food of the swine he tend ed, it says: "And when he came to himself-." To appreciate the full meaning of these words we must re member that the narrator is the Creator of man, and knows every thought and feeling of man's heart, and He it is who tells us that a man is not himself when he is giving rein to the lowest passions and appetites of his nature, and when he places himself physically and morally on a level with the beasts that perish, and makes himself a companion of swine. And that is ! only when he-recognizes his degra dation, and determines to arise from it and to endeavor to return to his proper station among men, and to his father's house that he "comes to himself" and is once more a man. As we listen to the parable, how distinctly the scene rises before the mind's eye. The rough, uncultivated country, with no human habitation in sight, the level line of the sea bound ing horizon on one hand, and a few blue mountain peaks appearing on the other; the herd of swine feeding on the husks, which have just been thrown to them; and the poor, besotted youth, still dressed in the soiled and torn remo as ts of the rich raiment of better days, seated at a little distance from his charges, vainly trying to satisfy his hunger with a portion of their wretched food. With what a dull glance his eyes wander over the desolate landscape; how utterly hope less seems his condition, ant. how poor now seem to him the joys of that riotous life for which he is paying so dearly by his present misery. His thoughts wander back to boyhood days, when his conscience was clear from the dark stains that now rest upon it; to that distant home, where he was surrounded by every comfort and by loving friends, and where he, the youngest of the family, was the pet of the household, and especially of his parents. H* realizes as he had never before done the depth and richness of his father's love, and the conviction forces itself upon him that it is still unchanged, despite all that he has done to forfeit it. At this thought a light comes iuto his face and he springs up with the resolution, "I will arise and go to my father-." He has come to himself, his true self once more. The demon that en thralled, him ?3 overcome and driven out; he is once more in his right mind, and he regards with horror and disgust the life he has led since he left home and wandered into this far country. How many thousand times since that simple story was first related in distant Palestine, has it been enacted, consciously or unconsciously, by re pentant prodigals; and, to the honor of parental love be it said, that but sel dom has the returning wanderer fail ed to find in his father's house the forgiveness and the welcome he so confidently counts upon. By some merciful provision of nature it is always the weak, the deformed, the erring or the disobedient child of the family which is most tenderly loved by the parents; as though the very sorrows and anxieties he causes make the love for him strike deeper root in the parent's heart. The other child ren who are "ever with him," who are upright and moral and obedient are truly loved also, but it is for this one prodigal that the tears fall aud the ceaseless prayer goes up that he may be "led not into temptation, but de livered from evil." In some good women we see this same protecting instinct shown in the.r treatment of their husbands, when they are so unfortunate as to have married worthless men. Thc knowledge of the mental and moral weakness that renders ?onie men unable to resist temptation, seems to call out all the tenderness of the wife's nature, making her forgive over and over again the husband's misdeeds, and impelling her to do her utmost to conceal from the world his faults and failings, and to wear a cheerful look io the attempt to deceive it. One might well think that if there was a spark of manhood or gratitude left in an erriDg husband's heart he would be shamed into rectitude by such conduct on the part of his wife; but, unfortunately, it seldom has that effect, but rather is he hardened in evil by the certainty of pardon from her whose love he so sorely tests. We cannot think of any more cruel or pitiful position than that of a woman who feels herself powerless to retard her husband's downward course, an who continues to love and pity hil despite all his offences. When we see that the love of a wif and children, and the sense of th duty which he owes them have so littl effect upon a married man. wc canno wonder that those who have no sue' restraining influences in their home should so frequently debase them selves to the level of the lowes creatures, and content themselve with the husks upon which swine feed instead of maintaining the dignity o that high estate of manliness an< honor which is their birthright. W cannot help feeling, however, that m one who thus deliberately choose evil rather than good is in his righ mind. No man in full possession o his faculties would sell himself si cheap as does he who barters his self respect, his good name, the happines: of all near and dear to him, and al his future prospects for a few thousanc dollars that he cannot even enjoy be cause of the haunting fear that th< robbery or the fraud will be fount out. No sane man will "put an enemj in his mouth, to steal away his brains,' and to make him an object of contempl and ridicule to every one who seef him. No man whose reasoning powers are unimpaired will do what is dis honorable or disgraceful and hope tc escape detection, or to enjoy an easj conscience, even should his acquaint ances fail to discover his evil deeds. No poor lunatic confined within thc wails of an asylum but is as much "himself," as the men who do such things. One first comes to himself when he feels that it is time to put away child ish things, to assume the duties and responsibilities of manhood, and to take his place in the battle of life along with those who have definite aims and who throw their whole soul and energy into the effort to attain them. When he determines to make a place and a name for himself in the world and realizes that in order to do so he must keep his name spotless and conscience clean he is at himself; but the moment he begins to waver in these high resolves and permits himself to be overcome by the temptations and trials of strength that test his man hood, his mental, powers begin to wane, and the chances of his ever again coming to himself are but small. But that there is always some hope left, even though he may have reached the lowest depths of degradation, the story of the prodigal assures us; and it furthermore teaches that he may again be reinstated in his former place in his father's heart and home.

If these Mexican coins j are in St. Louis they may soon be seen in this part of the country. Who First Made Glass? The Persians, at the time of Alex ander the Great, drank out of glass vessels. Mr. Ludwig Grote, in the current number of Feilden's Magazine, states that this is not the case. Mr. Grote points out that another hypothesis on the same subject is equally untenable -namely, "Flavius Josephus, who ascribes the discovery of glass to the Jews, as the result of a forest confla gration, when with the assistance of the sand in the soil the "glass came into existence of its own accord. ' "As the Phoenicians and the Jews were neighbors." proceeds the author, "there is very likely an element of truth in both traditions, inasmuch as both people exercised the art of glass making at an early age. If the Phoenicians were the first to carry the productions of glass into the world, by means of their traders, the Jews did the same, to a greater and more lasting extent. Amongst the latter there were whole tribes ca.rying on the making of glass. Most of the glass work at that time existed on the coasts of the Mediterranean, and throughout the whole of the Middle Ages, even up the present time, one kind of glass blowing industry has been in the hands of the Jews, espe cially in Palestine itself. Many ex pressions which were common in the glass works at that time are still in use. "But neither the Jews nor the Phoenicians can be looked upon as the inventors of glass. We find, for instance, that the Persians, at the time of Alexander the Great, were also drinking out of glass vessels; that the Assyrians were versed in the art of making glass, as we can prove by discoveries at Nineveh, and also that the art of making glass and of imitat ing precious stones was known to the ancient Indians. Of great importance with regard to the history of the man ufacture of glass are also the ancient Egyptians. When one remembers the great industrial activity of these peo ple, it is not surprising that, with reference to the making of glass, more numerous traditions of it are recorded by them t?ian by any other people, ^ot only written, but also figurative repr?sent?t ons, which are more than 4,000 years old, have been handed down to our time. The wall reliefs in the groves of Beni-Hassen repre sent the manufacture of glass objects; they represent amongst others two glass blowers at work. They are working with the blowing pipe, which they have dipped into a mass lying between them and by means of which they blow out a vase. WJiat extreme ly beautiful glass was manufactured, even at that time, is proved by a crys tal glass which is to be found in thc Museum of the Louvre. The French, as well as the English, museums possess numerous artistic productions of that period, at the sight of which one is surprised, as in our time and with our mechanical appliances it is hardly possible to surpass them. "The Romans appear to have been the principal customers of the early Jewish glass makers, and with the in creasing luxury of that epoch the man ufacture of glass increased, as it was not limited to the production of smaller useful objects, but also extended to the building trades. That the manu facture of glass developed in an artistic sense to the highest point need not appear wonderful, with so extremely intelligent a people as thc Romans. The treasures contaiued in the Mu seum of the Vatican, in the French museums and in the British Museum bear testimony to theia accomplished workmanship. The famous 'Portland Vase' in the museum of this city is probably thc best proof of it. In the year 210 A. D. there were so many glass blowers in Rome that they had set apart for them their own quarter of the city. But with the fall of the Roman Empire came also the decline of the art of glass making; with the extension of Christianity the glass in dustry gradually developed again." Xo Wonder thc Darkey Fled. Gen. Nicolis, of New Orleans, was well known throughout the Southern States as one of the bravest officers in the Confederate army. He sacri?ced an eye, a leg and an arm in the cause which he believed just, and came out of the war, as he declared, only half a man." But fche half that was left enjoyed a joke as keenly as ever. Science replaced the lost members so successfully that nobody who was ig norant of his misfortune could detect I it. The General often told the following story: Stopping at a hotel in Mobile a ne gro boy was detailed to help him pre pare for bed. After his bag was un packed and his coat laid aside he said: "Now, Sam, take off my leg." Sam stared speechless. "Don't know yet how to take off legs, eh? Now, look here!" He unscrewed the leg, and keeping it carefully covered with its long, black stocking, laid ii aside. "Now take off this arm." "No, sah ! Nebber took off no gen tlemun's ahm in my life!" gasped Sam, turning gray with,terror. "You're a pretty valet! Nothing easier." The arm was taken off and laid beside the leg on the table, and the General prepared for sleep and got into bed. "Oh, by the way ! We'd better take an eye out !" He took it out. Sam backed to the door, afraid to turn his back on the | terrible grest, who stretched Himself sleepily and then said: "Now, Sara, take off my head!" Sam rushed out of the room to thc office, and could only find strength to gasp out, "It's de debil heself. sah! He's taken hisself to pieces in room 48!" The man who has the nerve to make a joke of his sacrifices in any cause is very sure of sympathy and approval. - Youth's Companion. A Bad i|abit and a Good I n ve n ti on. Necessity mothers invention, but invention mothers disaster, says the Toledo Blade, as it proceeds to tell of the young grocery clerk and how he was undone by the self-coiling string-holder : The clerk got into the habit, years ago, of biting off the string instead of breaking it, after tying bundles. Nat urally his teeth protested against the practice. At length they gave up and wore out. He bought false teeth. Before he fairly got acquainted with them, so to speak, the patent string-holder was established iu the store. Then, as fate would have it, a young woman whom he secretly admired came in to buy five pounds of sugar. With the activity of an anxious lover he made up the package and tied it. Then, according to his old custom, ho bent forward and ?evered the string with his teeth. But he forgot-the holder, and he did not realize that the end of the cord had wedged itself between two of his new teeth, until, as the spring rolled up the slack, his "plate" was hoisted from his mouth and triumph antly waved aloft at the cud of the sering.
