If there are 30,000,000 grown men and
women in the country, then there would be
30,000,000 people armed against such a law.
But suppose the congress of the United
States should pass a law that Macaulay’s
hist ory or Charles Reado s novels should not
be read-could you get half as large an army

words, there are, as you know and I know,

But our antagonists go ou and say that
Christianity is falling hack, in tho fact that
infidelity is bolder now and more blatant
than it ever was. I deny the statement. In
fidelity is not near ho bold now as it was in
the days of our fathers and grandfathers.
There were times in this country when men
who were openly and above board infidel and
antagonistic to Christianity could be elected
to high office. Now, let some man wishing himself

EUCHRE IS GAMBLING

Grand Jury.
A Chattanooga dispatch of Tuesday
says: Judge Moon, in his charge to
tho grand jury oreated a sensation by
declaring that progressive euchre is
gambling. He said: “Mot only is
gambling carried on in regular gamb
ling resorts, but people of high stand
ing and it, respectability ’ gamble. They -
niav not put down money, but , , they ,,
set the example for others in playing
for prices and awards. In these pro

violation of the law, and it is just as

A horse’s teeth need as much atten

The recognition of this fact is of a very
recent date, but all now admit the

age a colt begins to change his teeth,
and amt at at the tne age ago of ot five lvo years years no ho is is pro
Tided with his full set. A horse has
forty teeth and a mare thirty-six. The
difference is in the oanine, or, as they
are sometimes called, the bridle teeth,
which seldom appear iu the marc.
A horse’s molars are the organs of
mastication, and have harder work to

Sewing Women.

People who are old enough tore
member the advent of the sewing ma
chine cannot have forgotten the fears
entertained by many conservative
persons that the novel invention would
put Lt seam treaties out of fashion. The
thought of in, xperience on sec
ing the rapidity with w hich naturally the ma
chine ran lip a seam was very
that all the scams would be easily fin
ished, and that one time honored «>»
ployment of women would he taken
from them. Nobody realized at first
ibat l>y the aid of the sewing machine
nioro fri lls, more flounces, more rnf
fles and tucks than ever before would
be added to our garments, and that
garments would themselves he multi
plied.
The sewing ,,7 machine did not

instead . more than , ever a necessity. A ,
house in which there is neither a ma
chine nor a seamtrem can hardly
found in town or country, ami
remains, as much today as in former
period, woman’s peculiar work.
