DECREE AGAINST AnEKlCAH PORK.

CHICAGO, February 2l.-The decree Of
the German Government prohibiting the
introduction Of American pork will have
no effect this year, 1t Is thought, by packers
here and not until there is big yield OF
pork. Then the loss Of the Garman mar.
ket will be felt This years crop, however,
is short. 1t will all be needed at home;
prices here will soon be a. high IS they
were last year, and last year the demand
At home put prices 80 high that there was
no demand from abroad. II was bad for
American packers to have foreign market
closed againSt them, for the time might
come when the market would be needed
to get rid oi the surplus stock. There is no
such necessity now, however, and has not
been Tor years. It has been more profitable
TO sell at home than abroad.

A Brief COurtshiD.

Night before last sandy-haired
young man employed as a bookkeeper
for a prominent Woodward avenue
firm, went ON a lark, and, being of
social disposition, proceeded to make
the acquaintance Of the public by
handing his cards to everybody he met
on the street. AT the corner of Con-
gress and Criswold streets he gave
pasteboard to rather comely-looking
damsel, and followed up the attack
with sundry complimentary remarks
which ended in proposal of marriage.
The young lady "sized" up the suitOr,
and seeing nothing bad about him
except his hair she accepted. A buggy
was procured and driven to the resi-
dence of Justice Patton, the young
man expressing his desire to marry at
once, without any unnecessary delay
or foolishness. The ceremony was
accordingly performed, and then the
happy pair went to the Brunswick
hotel.
In the morning the bridegroom began
to think that, perhaps, he had been a
little hasty, and made an investigation
to see if the marriage was legal.
Finding the knot was tied as fast as
the law could do it, he next looked up
the divorce laws and saw nothing in
them that would get him out of his
dilemma. He was married, and no
mistake so he determined to put a
good face on the matter. This morn
ing he called at the NeUS office and
asked to have the names Of himself
and bride suppressed. He had inquired
about the girl, and finding she was OF
good character had made up his mind
that he had stumbled to good thing.
lie further said that on learning the
facts his employer had raised his
salary, and that he and his bride would
at once begin happy career of house
keeping. The Mascot in this singular
case was, before her marriage,
sewing-girl, and mas brother and
sister living in Detroit. Until the
parties met, as before stated, night
before last, they were total strangers
and had never seen each other before.

How to Treat a Drunken Man.

A man who is thoroughly drunk
needs as much good treatment as any
other who from different causes is un-
able to take care of himself. His tenn
perature is lowered and he is liable
when in such condition to contract dis
ease, especially pneumonia. He should
be put to bed and kept warm instead
of being locked up in cold cell. Of
course it does not seem just, according
to the common way Of looking at the
matter, to treat a man well who has
voluntarily placed himself in such a
state; but, when you think that life
may be at stake, it does not seem so
unreasonable A drunken man is almost
invariably in condition to contract
pneumonia, the worst form of this dis
ease being alcoholic pneumonia, and
very few of these cases recover. The
police should at least see that such a
person is kept warm and not suffered
to lie in the wet and cold.-Dr. 4. Il.

Presence of Mind.

Four officers sitting in bungalow
in India, writes Miss G. c. Hopley in
her recent book, "Snakes," were deep
in a game of whist. Suddenly one of
them, turning deadly pale, made signs
that no one should move or speak. In
a hushed whisper he exclaimed
Keep still, for heavens sake l
feel a cobra crawling about my legs y.
He knew that timidity was one OF
the strongest characteristics Of the
snake, and that, if not disturbed or
alarmed, it would in due time depart
of its own accord. All present were
accustomed to the stealthy intruders,
and did not, happily, lose their pres
ence of mind. They very noiselessly
bent down so as to take survey be-
meath the table, when, sure enough,
there was the unwelcome visitor, full
sized cobra, twining and gliding about
the legs of their helpless friend. Lit
orally, death was at his feet. A move
ment, a noise, even an agitated tremble
might have been fatal.
Luckily one Of the four was ac-
quainted with the nilk-loving habit Of
the cobra, and, rising, with quiet and
cautious movements from his seat, not
daring to hasten, yet dreading delay,
he managed to steal from the room,
while he signed the rest to remain mo-
tionless. Quickly he crept back with a
saucer of milk in his hand, and, still
with noiseless movements, set the sau-
Ger under the table as close to the ter
rible reptile as it was safe to venture.
The fearful strain on their nerves was
happily of not long duration, for pres
emily they were relieved by seeing the
creature gradually untwine itself and
go to the milk. Never before did that
officer leap from his seat as he did
then, the moment he felt himself free
from the coils of the cobra, and read in
the faces of his comrades that he was
saved. Short shrift, however, had Mr..
Cobra, for sticks and whip-handles
were freely administered, even before
the saucer was reached. The enemy
got rid of, the game was resumed, and
it is worth the while of those in India
to lear this escape in mind and bring
milk to the rescue in case of similar

In the Lions, Den.

Great excitement followed in Brus-
sells when it was announced that the
Marchioness de Hautefeuille would
enter the lions den with Bidel, the
celebrated lion tanner. There are
seven lions in the den. The menag-
erie was crammed. Bets were given
and taken that she would withdraw
at the last moment. The skeptics
were wrong. At the appointed hour
Bidel appeared with the Marchioness
de Hautefeuile leaning on his arm.
She was dressed in a very elegant cos
tune of black velvet trimmed with
black lace. Bidel entered the den.
She followed. He twice made the
seven lions walk in Indian file before
her. She was pale-that was the only
tribute she paid to feminine nature,
which shrieks at the sight of mouse
and screams ii a garter-snake edges up
to her. The audience applauded.
Bidel eomplimented her.

THE RACE.

The course was open, and the young athlsts
With folded arms stood ready there;
No time had he his gathered friends 70
greet
There lay the ordeal he must dare.
His well-knit frame spoke high for health
and power
His teeth were set, and in his soul
A purpose fixed, that from the starting
hour
His aim should be gilded goal.
Love was there, but he would not hear heT
voice;
And friendship strove his heart to keep;
Twas all in vain, his heart had made itn
choice
The world had golden fields to reap.
He cried "I'll bear no ballast In this
race
Life's loves and cares, 1 pass them by
Yonder is the prize, be it mine to trace
The measured distance or to die"
As cleft the air with spirit all sfisme-
Sees him out-distance his compeers;
Jaded and worn, and yet his eyes proclaim
A swelling heart as conquest nears.
Cheers for the racer thunder 10 the sky;
His soul despised them, for he knew
They would have cheered him bad he went
to die
All that he longed for was in view.
All yes, he runneth we'll who runs for
gold;
He left behind him life's purest joys,
The race was long and he was growing old,
4 \ ~ = .
Then came the end, he conquered in the
strife
Shook hands with death like all his
kind
He beat the record in the race of life,
And then he left the prize behindi

M diciual Qualities of the Tomato.

AS an incentive to farmers to see
that tomatoes are wen represented in
their gardens, writer in Home and
Farmer dilates on their medicinal
qualities "Their Sight acidity has
cooling effect and renders them very
grateful in the heat Of summer, and
moreover their juice las an effect sim
liar to that of blue mass. So effective
is this juice that L know from exper-
ience and observation that an abund-
ant use of tomatoes at all meals goes
long way toward warding off the ma
larial fevers that are common in some
farming districts. There are many
sections of the county where farm
ers' families suffer every summer from
mild types Of malarial fever, and in
such cases, while the abundant use of
tomatoes may not wholly prevent de-
yelopment of the ailment, it will al
ways greatly alleviate it,"

THE STORY OF LIFE.

Bay, what is life ? 'Tis to be born;
A Ahelpless babe 70 greet the light
With sharp wall, as If the morn
Foretold a cloudy moon and night;
TO weep, TO sleep, and weep again,
With sunny smiles between-and then2
And then Rpace the infant grows
To be laughing, sprightly boy,
Happy despite his little woes.
We're he but conscious of his Joy
TO be in short, from two 10 ten,
A merry, moody child-and then2
And then in coat and trousers clad,
To learn TO say the Decalogue,
And break it, an unthinlzing lad,
With mirth and mischief all agog;
A truant Oft by field and fen,
And capture butterAies-and then2
And then increased in strength and size,
To be, anon, youth full grownj
A hsro In his mothers eyes,
A young Apollo in his own;
To initiate the ways of men
In fashionable sin-and then
And then, at last to be man
To fall in love, to WOO and wed
With seething brain to scheme and plan
To gather gold or toll for bread;
To sue for fame, with tongue and pen,
And gain or lose the prize-and then2
And then in gray and wrinkled eld
To mourn the speed of life's decline;
To praise the scenes of youth beheld,
And dwell in memory of lang syne;
To dream awhile with darkened ken,
Then drop into his grave-and then?

He gave her eighteenpence and went
round the corner to the bakers for
biscuits. When he returned she had
disappeared, dog and all. No token Of
her presence remained, but one expen-

lovely, mournful face peeping out
from the canvas.
He took up the little glove curl

Darrell took the sketch home and
painted with feverish ardor. For some
reason, unaccountable to himself even,
he never mentioned the matter to
Singleton. Gnone was worked at
from morning until night. He sent it

cepted, and hung in very good place.
The young artist received a dozen
offers for it in as many days. He de-

not for sale, he said, but he would
gladly execute commissions.
1t CHANGED one day that he took

earnestly, "that / shall meet that girl

and madness to you, Singleton, but her
face haunts me. shall never forget

81 cannot think of any model of
that sort, but know this face" said
Singleton, as they halted before the
picture. "I knew it when the girl
was a little creature of four, and am
not likely to forget her now. Where
did you see her, Darrell? You have
