Tine Hepublicfin party did not promise .auy temperance legislation this year in rndiana, but the petitions that are being .ssetit to it clearly indicates the feeling of I lie people and it will, no doubt, pass the -".vseholsou bill. If the legislature would a bill making the drug stores that r-eil liquor by the drink pay the same license that the saloons do, it would be a arocul thing.
THE conditions of trade at the present •l?me is perhaps as bad or worse than it frt as ever been in the experience of men now in business. The small amount of eoods that is being sold by merchants throughout the State each day would ascamsh any one not in the business. We «are glad to say, however, that Greenfield and Hancock county merchants are an exception to this general rule. Consid•eritiR' the small profit which is now made -•ton merchandise, it is a wonder that our ?,'His'ness men hold up as well as they do.
Vhey are, however, a hopeful class, and for a big trade in the spring or after .5i«~vest. The lact of the matter is, the t.-aoEcliant is a hard working man who in'"ests a large amount of money on the luv.ure prospects, employs a great numof clerks, sells at a small profit and waits from six months to a year for the tMoney. He is regarded as successful if "ay the time he is sixty or seventy years -Gid he has laid up enough to live his reraining days in ease.
T.HI-: moral of the old Roman table: '•fJfteu the time and place render timid .22iea bold," is exemplified in the present "-Stale Legislature by both of the political .•parties. Two years ago the Republicans •were opposed to taking the appointive jKMver out of the hands of the Governor.
This year they propose to take it out. 'Two years ago the Democrats desired to Lake the power out of the hands of the rovernor. This year they think that 5il-icer most competent to discharge such duties. This is, without doubt, a better £fi&r for the Republicans to have the jjower in the Legislature than two years -ago was, but it is not so good for the democrats. Such actions lead the people to lose respect for officers and laws.
They conclude that there is no honer in /P-olitics—that officers care nothing for -aasaything but that which promotes their *rwn selfish interests. Lack of confidence in public officers is a condition to be deplored. Its influence tends to hinder the fcest results of government.

Compound Rhyming Words.
In the south they have a very expressive phrase for one indifferently well—• "frobly-mobly"—and to be in "mubblefubblo" signifies low spirits. In Leeds, when a person is overpowered with astonishment, ho is said to be "much struck," a phraso forcible but scarcely polite. "Huck-muck" is an expression of like character, meaning foul, miry, and in Devonshire a bedraggled, besmirched person is said to be "muekson up to the huckson.
In Gloucestershire a wavering, unstable or worthless man is called a "meckle-kecklo fellow," and it is worthy of remark that in Derbyshire poor ore is callvd "keckle-meckle. An awkward simpleton is called "hauveygauvey" in the neighborhood of Leeds. In Warwickshire they style such a ono as "hobgoblin," or else it is from "hob," a lout, and "bog," a lump. "Gobbinshire" is the abode—"that never was writ in the traveler's chart"—of uncouth folk. They say of a slovenly loafer in south Cheshire: Gobbiiisliire, Gobbinsliiro of Gobbinshire

The Feast of Asses.
The Festum Asinorum, or feast of asses, was formerly held Jan. 14 to commemorate the flight into Egypt. There are still extant several rituals of this festival. One, of Beauvais, in France, orders the priest to bray three times and the congregation to resound each time in a similar manner. An ass, decorated with costly coverings, was led to the altar in a procession and with hymns of rejoicing.
A Modern Instance.
"Oh, of course," said the old man, "I don't blame you for taking the boy's part—it is just like a boy's mother to do so. But I'd think a heap more of him if there were less point to his shoes and more to his conversation."—Chicago Inter Ocean.

Beginning after close of the Study in Scarlet
A MYSTERY OF SPACE.
The Dark Spots or Vast Vacant Placea In the Skies. Among the moro remarkable appearances in the sky which short focus photographs have revealed, the presence of dark gaps or vacant places have been much commented upon, and ono of our most eminent scientists has formulated the theory that the gaps are not real, but result from the presence of light absorbing bodies in space which hide from us the background of stars and nebulosities. There seem as many difficulties in accepting this view as the corresponding one of star streams connected by nebulous bands. That opaquo bodies exist in the universe we know, and that such obstruct light is evident, but the theory or suggestion is that these exist in largo numbers and of enormous dimensions, especially in the comparatively small space which separates the solar system from the fixed stars. The total bulk of these supposed dark bodies would be enormous, since they can scarcely be supposed nearer than the nearest fixed star, and some extend over several degrees of the sky. One degree at the distance of Alpha Centauri means 400,000,000,000 of miles ab least, while three degrees mean more than 1,000,000,000,000.
If we believe, then, in dark bodies extending over even ono degree, wo believe their extent is about 70 times the diameter of the orbit of Neptune. If they extend three degrees, they are more than 200 times that orbit. But many must be several times tho distance of Alpha Centauri, and an average of these times cannot bo considered as excessive which results in a length (00 times greater than the span of Neptune's orbit, or 18,000 times that of the earth. Nc dark body would visibly obstruct the light of tho stars if less than 1,000,000,000 miles in section. We have vo decide for or against the existence, then, of many hundreds of dark masses far exceeding the solar system in bulk—exceeding it in some instances thousands if not millions of times—and all lying between us and the system of the stars.
The visible heavens become nothing in comparison with the vast bulk of the total of invisible bodies, for we cannot assume that the whole of the dark bodies of the universe are collected in tho solar neighborhood, but must admit them to bo probably as numerous everywhere in space and therefore more numerous as well as infinitely vaster than tho stars and nebulae. The total of the number and size required to account for the dark gaps visible upon photographs is beyond computation, but as tho bulk of single ones must exceed tho contents of a globe tho sizo of the earth's orbit 2,000,000 times it must consist of matter millions of times less denso than anything wo know and still bo millions of times greater in mass than tho sun.
Tho shapes of these supposed bodies increase tho difficulty. That treelike forms should be spread over much of tho sky would bo moro astonishing than anything wo havo yet discovered, but the process by which they havo reached this shape is moro astounding still. They are supposed to bo outrushos or uprushes of opaque gas into a resisting medium. But wo aro not told from what the oui».:sh can take place, nor is there any evidence of tho existence of a furnace to produce so much smoke nor any of a resisting medium to receive it or forco to propel it. Of course, while tho theory is only propounded in generalities, it is more difficult to consider it than if definite details were formulated.—English Mechanic.
Electric Fire Engines.
There can bo little question that an electrio portable fire engine would be efficient and thoroughly practical were the question of current supply settled and were it not that this part of the outfit, if properly installed and used for its special purpose only, would necessitate so great an outlay of money. But it is not absolutely necessary that a separate plant should be installed for the electrio engine system. Where a city or district is well supplied with electrio lighting, railway or power mains, distributed fairly well and all of tho same nature and voltage, those could be used for current supply by connecting them at intervals with suitable tap or switch boxes which would be easily accessible and to which the engine motor could be connected. It would not be necessary to have those switchboxes very close to the water plugs. They could be some distance away, and the cable carried by the engine would be attached to the nearest one. The electrio supply mains and switch plugs or boxes would thus have to be only in the principal streets and avenues. The engine could be connected to any water plug without regard to the location of the connection boxes, as enough flexible cable could always be carried on the engine to permit operating the engines at quite some distanoe from the distributing mains.—Joseph Sachs in Caesier's Magazina

To read The Forum is to keep in touch with the best thought ol the day.
THE FORUM will take up for discussion, during
1895, an unusually wide range of timely and important topics by the most eminent writers in the fields of Politics, Finance, Sociology, Literature, Religion, Art, and Science.
To be without The Forum is to miss the best help to clear thinking.
A catalogue of the writers who have contributed articles to THE FORUM in the pMt would embrace practically every mini of eminence In America, a most of those lu Kurope. A list of subjects treated would cover in tho widest dc jjree
topics of contemporaneous interest. TIIK FOIIUM is therefore of inestimable valua to any one who desires to keep closely iu toucb with tlie best of current thought.
