The persistent astertion 'that the liquor business conduce* to wealth and prosperity, and that Prohibition retard e , its growth and wealtitta a large degree infitiences mei- to vote for icense. The ast refutation of this monst ttet its deceit ia the facti. Ohio and Maine furnish a good lesson in the line of this in uiry. Any one would guess on the instant that Ohio is vastly the richer State. Yesit ought to be ! I supposed it was till this'examination opened my eyes. It is its men eterlasting shajne that Ohio is poor. lier brewers and di as central as it can has an isolated, northeast corner. ous climate; Maine is much colder. Ohio hes rich, easily tilled soils ; the down-eset State a hard, niggardly surface. Ohikihas in abundance all the best minerals, Maine none ii't granite and ice. Yet Maine is rich and Ohio pnor 'These States have about the same percentage of people who live by farming, and likewise of those in other in - (leadoff, In Maine, 92.38 per cent: own their own farms, 71 per cent. in Ohio. A number of Governors have in the last ten years voiced the grief of Ohio farmers be- cause they are so ,generally and heavily mortgaged Governor Burleigh said in his message of 1890 that no State in the Union has so little property under mortgage or se much money loaned out of the State per capita as Maine 1 and added, there are whole counties in which there is not a farm under mortgage. In the State 78 per cent. of farms are free from mortgage. Maine it out of debt; Ohio's -obligations' exceed a hundred millions. The savings banks fur- nish pretty searching criteria of the financial vigor and reserve forme of a nation. In Maine these institutions have $43,000,000 on deposit for 133,000 owners ; in Ohio they have $17,000,000, with a much smaller per ceatage of depoaitors. Maine has 650,000 people, and holds to -each individual in her banks $�; Ohio has to each of her 3,200,- 000, $6 ! So this State, which is the tip end of every tippler's sneer because of Prohibi- tion, with all natural advantages against her,has eleven times as much cash in reserve for each persoa's use as her rival, with lo- cation, soil, climate and natural resources in her favor. Both States have a sturdy, en- terpriging yeomanry, and ‘. make genetous provision for their mentil, moral and social development. Why, then, should the weaker be the etronger ? There is but one answer to this enigma : Prohibition. Forty years ago, pAaine put her ban on the grog -shops ; andt in spite of the most unscrupulous and satanie efforts of whole - staters, retailers!, politicians and the devil, they have very largely reduced the sale of these noxious beverages, while brewery, distillery and saloon have sunk out of s;ght. Ire 1884, by a vote of three to one, she put into her ,Constitution her anathema on the drunkerd factories, and there it is to stay till the nation becomes sober enough to fol- low !mit. Ohio chose, under the lead of stateemen who sneer at Maine's fanatics-, to foster the liquor trade. She has had 100,- 000 drunkards all the time the last twenty yee.ra ; she has buried a million in this hor- rible, condition, and the six or eight hun- dred millions which she would have if ae rich as Maine, have gone to debauch her Andrea, push them into beggary and crime, into poorhouse and jail, and finally into eternity under the baleful eclipse of sin and shame. An equally telling refutation ei thie serviceable old fraud can be drawn from the eontrest in those twin States, Kansas and Nebraska, in the work of Pro- hibition as compared with high license, by the revelations of the census of 1890. A more impressive one could be written of the poor little State I live in.—San Joss, Cosh Rice. tillers are rich. Ohio is e to the nation; Maine kward ,• location in the bdo has a mild, salubri- FAR AND WIDE. Mrs. Langtry's example has already found two imitators in France, for Mile Maxey, of the Theatre Francais, and Mlle. Emilie d'Alencon, one of the leading cafe chantant singers, have purchased race horses e which rim in their own names, as the French Jockey Club does not allow owners to use pseudonyms. The consequence i that d'Alencon is obliged to otitet her horses in her own name, which is Andre, and her colors were recently-successfiil. Herr Krupp has according to recent etatistics, the highist declared ineoine in Germany. It is -6,1760,000 marks per annutn. Mme. Millet, the widow of the painter of "The Angelus," is very ill. About a month ago she had a paralytic stroke and her friends are greatly concerned about her. It seems that Mme. Millet's is one of those cases, where, after 'a great grief or ehock all desire to live ceases completely, and where life ebbs slowly away merely because the "will" to live is absent. ,Not long ago her youngest daughter, Mlle Mariahne Mil- let, fell ill and died, and the widow, who, by the way, lives at Barbizon, has ,uever recovered from the shock. Mlie. Millet is buried by her faeher's side at Chailly. Sir Frederiok Leighton has fearlessly taken a hand in the movement for the exhi- bition of pictures and other works of art in .London on the Sabbath. On a recent Sun- day the president of the Royal Academy opened his studio to the members of the Sunday Society and personally conducted his visitors over his domestic palace. The marble basin in the hall affords much amusement, for visitors have a knack of, falling into it while stepping back to admire: the ceiling. Queen Victoria takes great interest in° the progress of the science of electricity and keeps au. courant with the latest inven- tions. The phonegraph, which represents •the artistic side of Science, was introduced into her Majesty's houaehold some time ago, and. everyone has heard of the initrument's particular tour de force, the decl4mation of the speech delivered at the Covent Garden Opera House. The same apparatus varies Lord Salisbury's utterances with the per- formance of the Intermezzo. A Second set of phonographic cylinders is being prepared with seelctions from the Queen's favorite operate. Herr ltlannlielier's new iifie is said to be a much more perfect one than any yet pro, dueed. The rapidity wieh which it can be fired is much faster than that of the quick- est -firing rifle known. ' The Germanimperor has found an artis- 'tie use for whalebone other than that to which modistes apply it. Upon the skeletons of the cetaceans he conquered and cap- tured on hie whaling cruise are to be paint- ed by Fraulein Berg scenes which occurred or which the Emperor witnessed during his expedition, and the pictures are to be placed in the boathouse at Potsdam. The illustrated hones are not to hang upon the walls, but will be made into articles of fur- niture. In the boat -house there are many eouvenirs of the trip, including all the photographs which were taken. The Emperor of Russia has, it is report- ed, been very curt in his refusal to be pres- ' ent at the marriage of Princess Mary of Edinburgh at Sigmaringen. Ib is not so much his niece he has in his mind's eye as his brother Emperor, who but a brief time since he so effusiveiy embraced—in public. Just So. It. is one of the prime secrets of happiness LO recognize and accept one's natural limit- ations t but philosophy of thie kind is per- haps hardly to be expected of children. A Utile girl had sent bask her plate for turkey two or three times, and had been helped bountifully to all the other good things that ge to make a grand Thanksgiv- ing dinner. Finally she was observed look- ing rather disconsolately at her unfinished dish of ice-cream. What's the matter, Ethel ?" asked uncle John. "You look mournful." That's just the matter," said Ethel, "1 more'n full." The Sultan has been credited with much intelligence, but hitherto has been unable to manifest it practically, owing to his surroundings, which are , of men and in- fluential women of indolent habits and superstitious minds. Now he has suddenly broken' the trammels and given the order that Turkey shall advance. According to English ideas the Sultan's notions are wise, as _ he commences by opening up his territory to tne east, to the north, and to the south by means of long railways. the termini of all being Constantinople. The concessions have been granted to Germans and Belgians. Over Prince Auersperg's estete at Nepomuk, in Austria, about 2,500 acres, there were shot in& single day 87 pheasants, 125 hares and more then 4,000 partridge, a nephew of the Emperor's—Archduke Francis Ferdinand—participating in the figures with no less than 1,014 heads. And then she wondered why everybody shed. It is probable that an engagement will shortly be announced between the Czare- witch and the Princess Marie, daughter of the King and Queen of Greece. The Princess possesses a great deal of the charm of the Danish Royal family, and isepretty, and she is eight years younger than her intended bridegroom. este. HE HURON EXPOSITOR ,.,. ..... ....ereese et tinIe county. Thirtydree IM PORTANT NOTICES. 3 /11111M1111115 miles of road were set apart in Union county to hnd,bonds issued amounting to $350, macadamize them. Lands on these r have nearly doubled in 'value and adjoining towns are raising °funds to build branch roads. to the county thoroughfares. • The beneficial effects are not only to the farmers and market gardeners,but also add to the at- tractiveness , of a locality, and tend to in- fluence the building Of surburhan homes. The reeds are made by a combination of the Telford and macadam systems. First a trench 12 ft wide and 18 in deep is Open- ed. At the bottom of the trench, large foundation stones are laid, over which a layer of coarse crushed stone is placed: Enough earth is Mixed with the stone to make it compact readily when the heavy roller is passed over it. A layer of fine stone is then put on thick enough to round the 'road well after it is rolled the second time, which last rolling is intended to make the road thoroughly compact and com- plete. Thus far these roads have resisted the disintegrating action of rains and frost. They are repaired when necessary by add- ing a thin layer of gravel or fine stone to the surface. At a meeting held in Chicago during the recent Columbus celebration, a National Road League was formed. The meetMg was organized with Gov. Ilevi K. Fuller, of :Vermont, as chairman, -The fact that Gov. Fuller has at his own ex ense purchaged a steam roller costing $6, to illustrate the method of construction and feasibility of macadamized roads in his own home town, Brattleboro, Vt., added additional strength to his remarks. Prominent men from near - V every state made pertinent remarks con - corning their respective localities. The purposes of, the National League are to or- ganize state and neighborhood leagues, one in every school district in the land, to cir- culate road literature and induce legislation in systematic ways until the great end Of macadamized roads shall cover all the ter- ritory of the United States. Il All roads should be wide. It is a Mistake to suppose thatnarrowroads are the cheap- est. It costs more to maintain the narrow road. To haul a ton over it surface of sand costs 40c, hard earth 20c, Macadam 10e, wooden blocks, 5e, asphaltum 15e, 'steel nails 9e, water (canal) 2c per mile. The proposition is a good- one that has been made to Hon. George R.- Davis, director general of the World's Columbian expositioo, and also to Dr. S. H. Peabody, chief of the department of liberal arts, to have a road department where everything pertaining to the construction of a model road, the machinery and materials, also a 'Short completed, model road of a sec- tion under construction all in one depart- ment instead ,of being divided -bite five classes. 1 The wear and tear of vehicles and horse, flesh and muscle on, a bad road are enor- mous. It, in the end, constitute,' an indi- rect tax on the people amounting probably to as much as any direct tax ilevied. When a graveled road become,' worn in the center it is the worst kind of misman- agement to break up the hard shoulder,' with the road machine and move the ditch mud into the center, The same foresight and shrewdness in the matter of roads that our farmers have shown in other matters would have grid- • ironed this section with level, hard, sub- stantial roads. A most interesting exhibitionof paintings by Saxon lady artists is at present being held in Dresden for a charitable purpose, under the patronage of the Queen of Sax- ony, who has herself contributed sixteen oil paintings, all landscapes and remembrances of her journeys during the last ten years. The paintings show great talent and artia- tic taste. Those who regretted the fact that Mr. Gladstone was unable to attend Tennyson's te.neral, or debarred by his Medical advisers from doing so, will be glad to hear that very early on the morning of the memora- ble day—so tells one of the vergers of West- minster Abbey—an old, gray -headed man came begging for admittance.is handi. were full .of white roses, and these he scat- tered lavishly over the ground upon which' the coffin was to rest. "Tennyson was my dear friend," was all he said; but there were tears in his eyes as he turned to go. And in his features the verger recognized those of Mr. Gladstone. The Dilkeses (Sir Charles and his wife) being tres repandu in French society, Lady Dilkes's "Five o'clocks" at the Hotel St. James, in Paris, during her recent visit; were most interesting. Shii is a matchless president of a tea table, and has a chatty, light-hearted tone which goes with her eighteenth-centu•ry air and physiognomy. Henry Labouchere and Edmund Yates are both 61. Mr. Yates says so himself. M. Zola considers that the attempt to make him appear a revolutionary writer is absurd. He is not an Atiarchist, he Bayne but an evolutionist, which is very different, if he doesn't want to evolve too fast He advocates the leisurely transformation of society, and reforms withbit violence. The Russian grand dukes who have been shooting in France have been using smoke- less poevder. They have now had enough of it, as the recoil u cruelly hard, and the powdeenot only clogs the harrel, but smeUS very o jeotionable. GOOD COUNTR'i 'ROADS.

Sweet Corn for Feeding. Experiments with farmers are as good as those of our experiment stations if carried on as carefully. , For 13 years I have raised sweet corn for market and for three years have fed the stalks separate from field corn stalks and corn and in every case .my cows increased shout one-sixth in milk, and it was as as rich in fat as before'. This is a big item in favor of Sweet corn as fodder either in ensilage or ' dry. I find at the higher price of seed, Evergreen sweet corn much the cheapest for the extra profit it brings in milk or butter.

At the prices at which they can be purchased at Mississippi, Bermuda hay will produce milk or butter at a much less coat than will timothhay. The milk and butter from cows fed' on steamed cot- tonseed costs less than that from cows fed on raw cottonseed, and but little more then one-half as much as that from cows fed on. cottonseed meal.

I would not feed corn meal to a cow unless she is one that milks , ,r- ly. The nitrogenous grains are the st, and they should be given liberally and judi- ciously. Do not use the same measure for every cow, as one will require more, an- other less, to produce like results. Be liberal e no money will come if no feed is given; you cannot reap unless you sow. The great trouble with the average dairy- man is, he is constantly trying to dodge paying out any money for good cows, foods or implements. He must change from this stingy narrow plan to a broad, liberal one, as he hes "got, to hustle" hereafter or get left. The time has come when thought and figures will beat shiftlessness, starvation !ra- tions and scrub cows. $ 300 Private funds to loan at lowest $ 500 rates of interest at sums to suit $ 700 borroWers, Loans can be coin - $1;000 pleted and money advanced $1,500 within two days.
