WF -HAT WE MAY EXPECT
To the Editor: -
Judging frcun what has occurred in
other places that have adopted Pro-
hibition, we may reasonably expect
the following results: -
Crime, especially in cities, will be re-
duced three-fourths.
All business with the exception of the
liquor business will improve greatly.
There will be a very notable increase
in the number of savings bank deposits.
Most of our jails and poorhouses will
be vacant and useless.
Many old accounts that have been
written off as worthless will be paid.
Drunkenness will be rarely seen and
2onsequently ninny unhappy homes will
be made happy and prosperous.
About one-half of our policemen will
not be needed.
Taxes, especially in cities, will either
be greatly reduced or we will have
more and uerter improvements,
Many inen who are now idle and use-
less will find jobs and hold them.
Many who now live in rented houses
will become property owners and live
in their own homes.
There wi.1 be less child -labor and
more children will be better educated
and have a better chance in life.
Consumption and other diseases that
are caused by weakened resisting
power wili of reduced.
Many saloon -keepers and bartenders
will turn out to be good business men
and respected citizens and thankful
for the change.
Asylums for the insane instead of
being over -crowded as they are now,
will graduefy reduce the number of
inmates.
Men will spend their money on
necessities for their own families in,
stead of on luxuries for the saloon
- keepers family.
Fewer young men will be rejected as
unfit to assist in the defence of their
country in time of war.
Men will grow taller and stronger as
they have in Norway.
Not half as many babies will die be-
fore they are two years old.
Houses of vice will become known.
They cannot exist without plenty of
booze. And the filthy diseases they
breed will die out.
Degeneracy which means dying out
of the race may be expected to come to
an end and a better race grow up to in-
habit this land.
With better clothing a great many
will attend Church and Sunday School
who did not do so before.
What kind of a man is he who would
not bring about such desirable changes?

Piles Entirely Cured
Mr. Wm. Woodell, 107 St. John St.,
Carlton, St. John, N. B., writes: -"I
have used Dr. Chase's Ointment for
itching, bleeding piles, and as a result
have been entirely cured. For years I
was a great sufferer from this distress-
ing ailment and can say three boxes of
Dr. Chase's Ointment cured me." You
may use this letter for the benefit of
others.
The allotment of the Dominion war
loan will give the preference to sub-
scribers for the smaller amounts.

AUCTIONING OFF A WiFE.
Last Case of a Once Rather Common
Custom In England.
it was long a popular belief among
the ignorant in England that if a man
sold his wife at public auction such
a pale had all the legality of a regu-
lar divorce, The latest case of the
kind on record occurred in 1832.
John Thompson, a farmer, had been
married for time years, and he and
his wife agreed to separate. Thomp-
son brought his wife into the town of
Carlisle, and by the bellman amount. -
ed he was about to sell her.
At midday Thompson placed his
wife on a large oak chair with a rope
or halter of straw about her neck. He
then made this announcement: "Gen-
tlemen, I have to offer to your notice
my wife, Mary Anne Thompson, oth-
erwise Williams, whom I mean to sell
to the highest and fairest bidder. It
is her wish as well as mine to part
forever.
"She has been to me only a born
serpent. I took her for my comfort,
the good of my home. But she became
my tormentor, a domestic curse, a
night invasion and a daily devil.
"I speak truth from my heai;t when
I say: 'May God deliver us from trou-
blesome wives and frolicsome women!
Avoid them as yon would a mad dog,
a roaring lion, a loaded pistol, cholera
morbus, Mount Etna or any other
pestilential thing in nature.'
"Now, I have shown you of her
dark faults and failings. I will intro-
duce the bright • and sunny side of
her and explain her qualifications
and goodness. She can read novels
and milk cows. She can laugh and
weep with the same ease that you
could take a glass of ale when thirsty.
Indeed, gentlemen, she reminds me of
what the poet says of women in gen-
eral:
"Heaven gave to women the peculiar
grace
To laugh, to weep, to cheat the human
race.
"She can make butter and scold the
maid. She can sing Moore's melodies
and plait her folds and caps. She can
not make rum, gin or whisky, but
she is a good judge of the quality of
each from long experience in tasting
them. I therefore offer her, with all
her perfections and imperfections, for
the sum of 50 shillings."
The woman was finally sold to one
Henry Mears for the sum of 20 shil-
lings and a Newfoundland dog. Man
and wife parted in perfect good tem-
per, Mears and the woman going one
way, Thompson and the dog another.

TO WASH SWEATERS
Knitted sweaters may be washed, but
great care must be taken. The temp-
eratures of the washing olid rinsing
water must be as nearly the same as
possible, for a change of temperature
is likely to result in a considerable
shrinkage.
Make a good suds of one bar of hard
white soap shaved fine in a beilerful of
water, Allow also two tablespoons of
aqua ammonia to the boiler. Pour in a
tub and allow to cool so that the hands
can beborne in the r
water. Put the
sweater in and wash as quickly as poss-
ible. I)o not rub soap on it or rub on
wash -board. Souse up and down in the
water and strip out the dirt with the
hands until cleaned. Donotrut through
the wringer or wring by twisting,
but squeeze out the soap suds with the
hands; shake out carefully, stretch, and
wash in a second lather prepared like
the fitst, but not so strong, Rinse in
water as near the temperature of the
.washing water as possible. Press out
the rinsing water, shake vigorously and
pull into shape.
Most Original Club In America,
There exists in one of our great
western cities a unique secret club -
called by the members the Get Out
and Get On chin:. It was organized
years ago by ten ambitious men who
looked upon themselves as not yet
having won success. Membership for
twelve years has been limited to fifty.
The rules are .what make this club
different. No member may call himself
a success until the club votes him one,
and when the club votes any member
a success, he is expelled and his place
Is filled by another. But before a suc-
cess is expelled a dinner is given in
his honor and to welcome the new
member. At this dinner the success
must read a paper explaining to his
fellows how and why he won. These
papers are preserved. -American Mag-
azine.
Rare Violins.
The rarest violins in the world are
those which were made by Guarnerins
del Gesn, only about forty of them be-
ing known to exist One of these in-
struments was purchased by Ysaye for
$30,000. Two famous Stradivarius In-
struments which were used by Sara-'
sate during his great concert tours
were sold. One of these, the Boissier,
is in a museum at Madrid. It is valued
at $50,000. The other is in a museum.
In Paris. There are only twenty-nine
Stradivarius 'cellos in the world. Of
the 300 Stradivarius violins that were
made more than 200 have been bought
and'soid by one dealer. -Argonaut.
imitation Gold.
By combining ninety-four pard of
copper with six parts of antimony and
adding a small quantity of magnesium
carbonate to increase the weight, a
substitute for gold is produced. This
alioy;a is said, can be drawn, worked
and soldered much the same as gold,
and it also takes and retains a golit
polish. It can be made for abort 2
cents a pound when its constituents
can be bought at normal prices.
LANTERNS IN CHINA.
.Qf All Sizes, Shapes and Prices, They
Aro In. Common Use.
Particularly gay and attractive are
the shops of the lantern, venders in the
Chinese cities..
All varieties of lanterns are to be
seen -the large silken ones three and
four feet high, gorgeously painted with
variegated colors, embroidered in gold
and silver or decorated with deep
fringe of the same material, costing
from $100 to $200 and used by the
wealthy mandarins and others, and
common small horn and paper lanterns,
used by the coolies, which cost one-
eixteenth of a dollar.
The mode of making horn lanterns is
very. ingenious; the horns are cut into
remarkably thin slices which, by
weans of heat and pressure, are joined
together and formed into various
shapes; round, square, hexagon, octa-
gon, and some shaped to resemble an
hourglass.
It is usual for servants, after sunset,
to carry before their masters Large
lauterus made either of horn or highly
varnished paper, with the name, title
and dignities painted in large letters
thereon.
At the feast of lanterns, which takes
Glace in the early part of the Chinese
Sew Year, these lantern shop pro-
prietors reap a rich harvest, as it is
customary for parents to make pres-
ents of lanterns to their children,
lirother to sister, friend to friend, in-
ferior to superior, and vice versa.
Orchids.
Many plants have the power to shift
their quarters. The orchid can move
one step every year, and, although it
takes a long time to cross the mead-
ow, if the orchid goes on long enough
it would move one step forward to-
ward finishing that long walk every
rear.

Harmony In the Leaves of a Tree.
One of the remarkable characteris-
tic~ of a tree is the process of leafage,
and if we examine the bough upon
which the leaves grow the admiration
of tbe scientific agriculturist will be-
come thoroughly aroused over the per-
fect consistency and artistic skill man-
ifested in the arrangement of each
siiray and the exact number of leaves
arranged with the most exquisite art
and regularity. Every group of leaves

no 'two in the same position; yet all so
perfect and harmoniously blended that
there can be no antagonism, no same-
ness and all those thousands and thou-
sands of strange and delicate forms
grouped together, neither confused nor
ill arranged.
Handel as a Child.
George Frederick Handel, the son of
a Saxon barber and valet, was only five
years old when his "fingers wooed di-
vine melodies" from the spinet, which
a good natured aunt had smuggled for
him into an attic, so that no sound of
it might reach the ears of his father.
At eight his playing so astonished the
elector of Saxony that his father was
compelled to withdraw his opposition
and allow the genius of the toy to
have fair play. And before he had
reached his twelfth birthday young
Handel was known throughout Ger-
many as a brilliant composer and vir-
tuoso at the court of the emperor. -

How to Steal a Cow.
One of Daniel O'Connell's clients, who
was acquitted upon a technical point
of stealing a cow at night, was asked
by O'Connell how he managed to steal
the fattest cow in the dark.
"Why, then, I'll tell your honor the
whole secret of that, sir. Whenever
your honor goes to steal a cow always
go on the worst night you can, for if
the weather is very bad the chances
aro that nobody will be up to see your
honor. The way• you'll always know
the fat cattle in the 'dark is by this
token -that the fat cows always stand
in the most exposed places, but the
lean ones always go into the ditch for
shelter."

DR. FOWLER'S
Extract of Wild Strawberry.
Dyscatery manifests itself with varying
degrees of intensity, but in well marked
cases the attack is commonly preceded by
loss of appetite, and some amount of
diarrhoea, which gradually increases m
severity, and is accompanied with griping
pains in the abdomen. The discharges
from the bowels succeed each other with
great frequency, and the matter passed
from the bowels, which at first resemble
those of ordinary diarrhoea, soon change
their character. becoming scanty, mucous
or slimy, and subsequently muted with,
or consisting wholly of, blood.
Never neglect 'what at first appears to
be a slight attack of diarrhoea or dysen-
tery may set in. . Cure the first symptoms

Occas'onally one hears conflicting
Isiertions in regard to the wholesome-
less of the practice of drinking water
it meal time; these assertions being
Iften based upon heresey or unfounded
mpressions. Somewhat recent physio-
ogical studies indicate that while the
lrinking of water with meals has no
Lpparent effect upon the utilization of
:he fats, sugars and starches, its copious
ise does result in the better digestion
Ind absorption of the ingested protein-
:hat tissue building constituent which
s the most abundant of the solids in
can meat, eggs, and cheese, and that
:unstituent which also characterizes
:ertain other foods.
The conclusion to be ariived at, then,
8 that the use of water as a beverage,
with meals, is a desirable practice. It
may be added that drinking generous
luantities of water during the course of
theday.is an important health measure
in the up -keep of the general health of
the body.
An unfortunate eating habit is that
of depending upon water as an aid to
swallowing food. If one has not learned
to thoroughly masticate food -swallow-
Ing it without the aid of a beverage -
then it would seem wise to subscribe
to the creed of the "dry eaters".
