The Fat Mems Convention,

We can see some pleasure, if no rea
son, in the converting of baby show
but we confess we could never see the
slightest cause, reasonable or otherwise
for fat mems convention, unless it be
the fact that misery loves company. Fol
fifty or hundred men, whose several
weights range from two hundred to three
hundred pounds, to hold a convention
simply because of SO much surplus avoir-
dupois, IS absurd to say the least. 1t be.
comes doubly so when we reflect tfat
obesity is disease. What would we
think of as many persons emaciated by
consumption holding a convention to
compare their relative weights. There
IS but one ground upon which we would
advocate another fat mems convention,
and that is that they meet to discuss the
merits of Allan's Anti-Fat, the only
known remedy for obesity. 1t is safe and
reliable. Sold by druggists.

ElOquence from Carpenter.

At the grand relief concert at Fond du
Lac, for the benefit of the yellow. fever
sufferers, ex-senator Carpenter made a
brief speech of which The Saturday Re-
porter says: Eek Senator Carpenter
spoke briefly, but made one of the finest
speeches of his life. In trying to COM
pare, one thinks of Lincoln's famous
Gettysburg speech which will never die
out of collections Of oratorical literature.
Carpenters address was like Lincoln's
for its peculiar aptness to the occasion,
and for its expression of truths which are
always true and never change. Its
thought was that mans sympathetic ma
ture viii always conquer his selfish and
ambitious nature. The dreadful calamity,
ike the war, will produce results of last
ing good. The war and the directness
with which hearts everywhere throughout
the country were connected with its
bloody scenes forced the people to read
the newspapers that they might follow
the perils of those who had gone from
their own fresides and their embraces.
With increased intelligence thus accrued
came finer synpathies, a reader charity.
The commanding power OF love he illus
trated by forcible incident in the life
of Napoleon who drew back his legions
and imperilled battle that he might
cover fayorite general, wounded to the
death, with his tent, and kneel at his
side, giving him his sympathy and per-
sonal aid in his dying hours. Then with
an effect that cannot be described, SO i'm
pressive was it, the eloquent speaker
| took from the table Bible he had
brought to the hall, and read ten verses
from the twenty-fifth chapter of Mat
thew, closing with the forty-tirst verse
the passage in which occur the words
'Inasmuch as We have done it unto the
least these, my brethren, ye have done
it unto me-. Commenting upon his text
in few appropriate and richly eloquent
! words, asserting that Christ IS upon the
earth now, and that relief to the suffering
is giving to Him in such manner as is
greatly pleasing Him, Mr.. Carpenter con
Guided by reciting these from the words
he had read: Verify, 1 say unto you
inasmuch as ye have done it unto the
least of these, my brethren, We have done
it unto me- Every heart in the vast
audience had been deeply wrought upon,
while the intellect of each individual
among his hearers had admired the mas
terly grouping of words and ideas by the
speaker. The applause shook the house

The Podalian is an aboriginal race Of
cattle descended from the wild urus,
and prevails i'll the Austrian provinces.
Their color is generally white or silver
gray, with variations passing into dark
gray, which shade is particularly seen
i'll the bulls. Podalian oxen are much
sought after for fattening purposes.
Nearly seyenty-iiye per cent. of the
oxen slaughtered at Vienna belong to
this race. The meat is very much es-
teemed, and is distinguished for its
tenderness and agreeable flavor. How
ever, it is as working oxen that these
cattle are most valued. They Will
travel two and quarter miles per
hour, yoked to an empty wagon, ana
more than half as fast when drawing q
load. This race is distributed over the
greater part of Galicia.

not interpret things by our wishes
rather than by the facts. Take this

great many are influenced far more by
what they desire should be, and what
they think ought to be, than by what
God says is? In multiplied instances
III the practical ordering of our lives,
are we not governed more b. cur
strong desires than by what God saws
shall be our conduct? We are but
children of larger growth when we
put our desires and ideas in the place
Of actual facts. And we do not have
the excuse of the innocence of the little

fierce and fighting race, numbering
about $4,000. In their domestic life
the most singular feature is the fact
that the father has no control over the
children. The mothers brother or the
next nearest relation on the mothers
side usurps The authority of the father,
the reason being that everybody knows
