New York.'” hb said, “made it an offence
to sell intoxicating drinks to minors.
The Excise Commissioners, of BroolUyu
are divided iq theft mintls’ as b> ‘the
meaning of this law. The counsel holds
that liqiyq's.shall .-uhsqjqtfly not be sold
to minors lor any purpose. The ma
jority .
of the Commissioners hold that
the intent of the law is that liquor shall
not be sold to minois for them to drink,
but that it may be sold to them to carry
home for their fathers and mothers to
drinlr. This is a vile and preposterous
interpretation of the law. It is a shame
and an outrage that a law so express in
its terms should be nullified in this way,
and that children maybe sent without
restriction or restraint to purchase in¬
toxicating drinks for home consumption,
provided they tliere don’t themselves drink it
there. If is any one point in the
temperance movement that ought to in¬
terest the whole community it is j this.
We -must Save onr children from the
contamination of the grog shop. Men
who drink themselves are ardent in this
matter. A man must be a very bad man
who don’t want to protect the young.
Many men who smoke don’t want their
children to smoke. Many men who
drink don’t want their children to drink.
The whole community are nearly united

‘ The particular shape the temperance
movement has taken now is this—the
law shall lie enforced. The particular
direction of the temperance movement
in Brooklyn at the present time should
be to see to it that even the inadequate
laws thatowe have shall be executed. In
that battle I think I discern which side
is going to whip. ”
Mr. Andrew Paxton, general' agent of
The Chicago Citizens’ League for the
Suppression Minors of the Bale of Liquor to
League* explained that . the Citizens’
of Chicago was a combination of
citizens without respect to creed or
politcal affiliations. Chwbgo had The temperance
people of in former years
made heroic efforts to put down intem¬
perance. There were Moody and San
key meetings; Templars of all kinds
and degrees; blue ribbon and red ribbon
men; there were meetings arid sermons
and tracts by the thousand, but with all
they years ago found themselves as near
the solution of the problem at the end of
their work as they were at the begin¬
ning. When a drunkard was taken out
of the gutter two were found there the
next time. They could not understand
why this was so, until they found that
the saloon keepers were manufacturing
■drunkards from the young.
It was discovered that at least thirty
thousand of the boys and girls of the
city of Chicago were being trained up in
the saloons. It might starlle liis hearers
to learn that at least twenty-five thou¬
sand boys and girls in the city of Brook¬
constantly lyn under the in age the of fourteen of years were
habit going into
saloons to purchase liquor. It was de¬
termined in Chicago that the only way
in which the evil could be put an end to
•was to enforce the law against the sale
of liqu< ■ to minors. The people of Chi¬
cago, and particularly the saloon The keep¬
ers, langhorl at the idea. society
was organized, however, and work was
begun. The first gun that was filed was
in the case of a saloon keeper named
Baker Burns, who had enticed half a
dozen boys into liis saloon, had got
them drunk, wlieh they began to fight,
and he bad them arrested. In aday or so
the socie ty had ilie boys before a court
and Baker Burns was convicted. The
people of Chicago were astounded.
Other prosecutions followed and were
successful. ’
The effect of these prosecutions was
most, beneficial. The Mayor took sides
with the Citizens’ League and the Super¬
intendent of Police issued orders to his
policemen that they were, whenever
called upon, to put themselves at the
service of the agents of the League.

patronized by boys The were compelled to

Rat-Proof Corn Cribs.
_
At a recent farmers’ chib the question
of rat-proof houses was discussed. The
general voice decided that farmers can
not afford to build corn cribs and grain
houses other than rat-proof.
members favored placing com cribs on
top of posts that have iron sheet on top
and around them with the sides of the
cribs lined with tin, hut other members
present averred that even this plan did
not always keep out rats and mice. . i;
A farmer described his crib, which for
eight years has never been infested,
even visited occasionally, by rats. ftp IJq
has double cribs with a driveway
tween. The frame is extra strong;
on a soiid stone foundation, fifteen:
inches above ground. The sides slope
outward one foot in twelve. The lath,
siding is oak, three inches wide, one
inch thick, and one half-inch apart, fun
up and down, not horizontal,
arrangement, he claims, keeps sides dry
and makes the ascent of rats more diffi
cult and unloading corn easy. If the
rain beats against the side the water
drips from, and not into, the crib. ■ At

-N The Life Boat.
The best life boat made is the inven
tion of a man in the American Jjife
Savi f g Service. It is very light, and

no swf, upset in launching beacWng out through the
°r'm when returning
f ™“' d f ret *‘ R, by any mishap a big
roler should turn it over it will right i -
self will instantly. If wholly snb merged it
rise to the surface and free itself
from the water shipped. To explain,
we will suppose that the boat is 30 feet
long, 7 feet broad, and 3 feet deep. The
frames of the boat are of oak and the
planking of cedar. A deck is put in just
above the load water line. In the center
of this deck is a slat, say five feet long
fore and aft by four inches broad. A
simple hole is made in the bottom and a
easing put iu so as to make a well that
reaches from the deck down through the
bottom. As the deck is above the deep¬
est load water line, it is evident that
any water taken on deck will run down
through the well. To keep the water
from coming up through the well with
the swash of the waves a valve is put iu
the well that opens downward only.
With the crew and the rescued people
on the deck, and nothing below it, the
boat would be top-heavy and would
easily be rolled over. Bafrast must
therefore be used. Iron would do, but
in the event of the boat being wholly
filled with waler the iron would over¬
come the buoyancy of the wood, and
the boat would siuk. Besides the bal¬
last would have to be carried constantly
ill the boat. So small tanks are fitted
in with valves that open through the
bottom of the boat. The valves cau be
operated from the deck. As the boat is
shoved into the water, these valves are
opened to let the water fill the tanks.
The confined water serves admirably as
ballast If the boat is capsized, the
ballast lights her at once. When the
boat is beached the valves are opened
and the water runs boat out, leaving only
the weight of the to be trans¬
ported over the sand. The large space
between the deck and the bottom of the
boat,.which is not occupied by the bal¬
last partmenfs. tanks, is divided into air-tight com
Tlie bulkheads between
these compartments serve to strengthen
the boat. The compartments are filled
with cork. The weight of the cork is
small, but if any compartment should
he stove iu by st riking a rock or flic other¬
wise, the cork would prevent wafer

< The bow and : stern are built higher
than the sides of the boat amidship, so
that she will be less likely to ship water
as she plunges through the surf. The
bow and stern are both sharp, and the
boat can back about as easily as she can
run forward. When beaching a boat
through the surf, the common broad
sterned yawls have to be turned around
to keep the sharp bow toward the big
waves . The crew have to row right out
to sea when the swell first catches them

Predict a 3Iild Winter.
[From the Pori. Jorvis Gazette.]
The opinion prevails on the part of
many of the weather wise that, the com¬
ing winter will he a mild one. Borne
of their predictions are based on the
habits ot the wild animals of the fields
and woods, noting the supply the squir¬
rels lay in for their muter .support, the
depth of the woodchuck holes, and the
thickness of the fur of fur-bearing nui
mals. But the animal whose sagacity
is the most accurate and whose wisdom
is most safe to follow, in the opinion muskrat, of
many, is the muskrat. The
never makes a mistake. He knows all
about the weather, and when he omits to
build liis usual nest near the hank of
the stream he frequents, it is very evi¬
dent that lie regards it as altogether un¬
necessary for him to he at the care and
toil required to construct, it. The musk¬ If
rat never expends his labor in folly.
he don’t need a house for winter he
don’t build one. He has built none so
far this year, so report says, and the
conclusion is irresistible that lie has
omitted the work only because lie fore¬
sees that the temperature will he so
mild and endurable that he can manage
to,get along very' comfortably without it.
Some 1,‘iiuk the weather will he mild,
because the husks on the corn wero
thin. They say that nature anticipates
the kind, of winter she intends to give
by thetoonndanoe or scantiness of dress
she gives the ears. When the winter is
to be cold, they say that the husks that
surround the corn are invariably thick
and many; when the winter is to he
mild, they are. thin and few. They
were thin and few in last fall’s crop, and
hence the winter will be mild.
The icemen say that the winter will
be mild. Their predictions are based
OH the state of the wind and weather
when the sun crossed the line in solstice. passing
from its summer to its winter
On the day on which this event occurred
the wind, they say, blew from the south,
and the sun shone warm. Observations
continued through a long series of years
have demonstrated, they assert, that the
prevailing winds during the time the
sun sojourns in the southern hemisphere
are of the same character and blow from
tlio same direction as does the wind on
the day the sun crosses the line.
Quite similar to the icemen’s ideas on
this subject are the opinions of the Dela
River raftsmen. They, too, are
dose observers of the state of the atmos
pbere, wind, and sun on the day that
luminary crosses the equinoctial line,
TIic Delaware River raftsmen s anxiety
j 8 b >r a freshet, and all the signs ami
indications by which they may be pre¬
dieted are carefully .remembered and
diligently studied. 1 heir observation,
they say, lias established that when
heavy rains and high water occm succccd- at
the time of the equinox, every
ing storm will shed less rain, and the
height of water in the river will continue
for months to decrease. On the con
trary, when clear skies and low water ac
company the equinox, the ram storms
which follow will increase in volume m
geom. 7 V progression, so that by the
tiuie reached heavy■ram storms,
high water, and rafting freshets may be
confidently anticipated. This year the
sky was' cfear on the equinoctial day and
the lumbermen are preparnig to get out
logs in abundance for the great freshets
(hey confidently expect during the; latter
part of winter and early spring, lo he
tte'IgnsI rainy the weather must he warm, and as
ftffhfei* of rainfall to too “
increasing amount as
winter passes, the inference is that the
prevailing temperature will lie want and
mild.
The farmers—at leant sfltne of tJipm—
are able to make fair predictions as to
the weather. They &«M«. join with the icemen

Eight or nine years ago, they toy, the
