NO MOST The Prohibitionists Will Let The Election Go. • ANTI MAJORITY IS 1302 Prohibitionists Offer no’ Explana tion of Their Change of Mind. Tlia nrohlbitionUu have concluded to make no contest of the election. They notified Ordinary Wiley thi4<norn ing that they had abandoned their original intention. The ordinary then proceeded to consol idate the vote, and from the official re turns deduced the majority of 1,302 for the anti-prohibitionists. Thus ends the story of the war.

I gave myself ' up to my savior, determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth I would meet my absent ones above*.

Cell Comfort For Her Grace, I have very little sympathy with the dowager duchess of Sutherland in the lose of her jewelry. What possible advantage to any civilized being is it to own £30,000 worth of gems? Prarls, diamonds and other stones can now be so well imitated that it is impossible to distinguish real from sham, unless by an expert. Why, then, wear real? The effect is precisely the same if sham are worn. At 3 per cent £30,000 would produce £9OO per annum. Probably the same jewels might be pro duced, if artificial stones were used, at a maximum cost of £I,OOO. Why, then, not wear the latter and make £B7O per annum? But if a lady does find her happiness in’ owing expensive jewelry, why travel about with it and leave it in a bag on the rack of a railway carriage? What’ would be thought of anyone who did this with a bag containing this value in bank notes? The duchess only did what other ladies are in the habit of doing, and I do not sup pose that wo have any right to expect more wisdom in a duchess than in other ladies. It is the female habit of traveling about with expensive jewelry and leaving it about which I regard as foolish.—Lon don Truth. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.
