J.TQUOK HELPED Mil. CLEVE LAND. In the two Xorthcrn States which the TtepuMican pr.rty failed to can-', the li quor question gave the Democrats the victory. In New Jersey, while thous ands tf votes were purch:ised outright and many more influenced by the liquor dealers, cn 'ugh professed Prohibitionists t turn the sealc continued their voting in the a:r. In Connecticut, while the methods best understood ly Senator (forinan were employed by Democrats to the utmost, the political Prohibitionists drew off 1,n00 more votes than were cast for St John in 183-1. leaving the Ilepuh licans o-'H votes behind. So the saloon jive Mr. Cleveland nine electoral votes find the Prohibitionists six electoral vetes from the north and he got no others. In New York, however, the saloons and the Prohibitioni.-.ta together defeated Mr. Miller f r Governor, and elected a tJovernor to suit the liquor intercut. The naked recital of these facts sufficiently explains the feeling of I'epuh licans who cousider how narrowly this combination of rum shops ami Prohi bitionists missed winning a National victory for free trade. Many of the third-party Prohibitionists are men who lelieve in Protection. IJut they were not more illogical in helping free trade than in helping the candi dates of the saloons. Many voters were influenced !y the liquor interests were Protectionists workingmen who realized that their wages depended largely upon the rnaintainance of the tarilT. But they chose to vote for their whisky and to let others elefend their wages. Tho prohi bitionists who acted without reason we're but few; apout 4,100 in Connecticut and lo.ssibly twice as many in New Jersey. But the other voters who voted to pro tect their whiskey, and for that re-ason only did not vote to protect their indus try, were much more numerous. Sup posing that they had numbered two voters for cveiy saloon, there may have been 0,000 to s.000 in Connecticut and 3;,000 to 20,000 in New Jersey. In spite of t!n?sj inconsistent forms of opposition, the republican party h;u g line I the most remirk:ille triumph of its history. It can powerfully reinforce itself by admitting three or four new states prior to the next election. It is gaining rapidly in the south, and by wise measures can insure republican victory hereafter in more than one sontln-rn state. Those w ho imagine the republican party has outlived its useful, ness and was about to be sent to the rubbish heap, may revise their impres . s'ous. They are not to see the country grerned ly any new or by ony other I J party at '-present. It is with the republican party they have to reckon if tVy want anything done, and the policy fthat party wil not be shaded "by gratitudts to politic Prohibitions or to the saloon. -N. V.

No intelligent dealcr in :hoes today wiil ever w-il a customer a pair of shoes against the end of which the toes will be fori-ed. The bhoe of today that is, the common sense shoe is always longer than the fool. The (stylish shoe is long anil narrow. No lady w ho has any re gard for her comfort, to say nothing about her pride, will ever wear anything else than a long and narrow shoe. We are now making a cheap shie on the same principle. 1 suppese you know that in England an American is generally known by the kind of shoo he wears. The English wear wide shoes men and women alike. .Some folks think this is dono because tho English do so much more walking than wo Americans. That is not it. It is habit. They don't take the samo pains wilh their feet in the old country that v.e elo over here. I do not know of any nation that doo.s. "Somebody asked me tho other day what sizes were mostly worn in Chicago. My answer rather surpriseil him. I said os and 4's, and more 4's than 3's. lie got olf the idiolie talk about Chicago women's feet that you lind in newspajH is of rival cities.

' TaeTerinite'ii Singular Work, There are fteveraj specie'3 of the t-.r-mite, some of which make those great lent shaped mounds of which travelers tell s:o much, and others building high up in trees. Tho sort which is so etc struetive to wood and books makes its homo underground, and approaches the object it intends to convert into fooel by tunneling to jt, By this means it rcnelcrs any attempt to watch for its pomingimll. Usually it follows the grain of the wood in its progress, but tliis is not always the case, tho direction being determined by expediency. A e hest which has not been totally destroyed will show that tho in sect ha3 gono'back and forth and up and down, just as the nature cf tho wood or its lluckness renders the most expedient. Frequently the termite will perform a most singular work in tho effort to make iho best use of any wooelen structure into which it has made its way. If, for example, it has bored through the length ef a pillar supporting a house, and finds at tho top that there is wood winch it would like for food, it first uses up the wood of the pillar and then fills the hol low shell thus createel with mud, packed until it is as hard as concrete. Iho pil lars of ono house taken down for re building in St. Helena were founel to be mere bhells of wood, compactly filled, except for a tunnel through the length, wilh a pillar of hard mortar. New York Star. A Novel Swimming Dress. A swimming drees, resembling a eli vers dress, and made of double India rubber, has, according to a foreign contemporary, been aelopted in the German navy. On the chest is a valve through which air is blown into tho interior of the dress, which covers the whole body and leaves only the face free. To prevent the swim mer from being too much tossed about by the pea. the space round tho chest is especially large. ' The bwimmer wears a belt which dividers the elress into two parts, to prevent a too great loss of air if tho dress were torn about the legs, and concequent ehfliculty hi swimming. The swimmer wears shoes with leaden soles to secure his equiiibrium, and for his defense a dagger, which is fastened to the girdle. The swimmers are to bo employed for the blowing up of mines and hostile craft, and aro provided with a I ox cont aining an explosive charge, which they have to fasten to the mine or craft, andignitc.

An English woman would not bo seen in the company of her young children. A soon as thev ore lorn she hands them over to almost any hired, ignorant ami uneducated woman, who may bring them up in the-ir tender and most im pressionable years according to her own ide:is of life. To such women are in trusted the fe-eding, dressing and general care of the future leaders in tho social and olitical world. The mother "visits" them once a day for a few minutes in the rooms set apart for them at the top of the house, and dreary rooms they sometimes are. Tho mother, however, will take a dog and fondle it, and seldom be seen with out it. She will walk with it when she would not walk with her own cluldren, and she must have the snapping, pam pered little least beside her in her bed room, in her boudoir and in her carriage, and bho will keep no laely's maid who will not as care fully tend this dog, wash and comb it Jaily, caress it and take it for its daily ivalk. In fact, the English adoration of dogs is only to le compared to the ancient Egyptians' adoration of cats, though I marvel much if these latter ever put them in the placo of their chil dren. But I conclude that this love in the English is hereelitary. In tho lone caves cf their Briton ancestors is there not to le found a confused mingling of the bones of human and animal life of ages and ages ago? It is jiossihlo that in those days they worshiped tho horse and dog, us their descendants now do in another sense, living with them and adoring thcMii at the same time.
