A fact noticed in the Belgian CORE
sponaence of one of the Parisian
papers affords another illustration of
the inefficiency of the official encour-
ageuent of talent by the state. The
King of the Belgians has regularly
offered every year for the last ten
years prize of $1,000 for the best
work on some subject of general in
terest, the greatest latitude of choice
being allowed the candidates, provided
the work came within the sufficiently
comprehensive category of ''euvres
d'intelligence" During the whole
ten years the prize has only been
awarded once. Year after year the
jury appointed to decide on the merits
of the different essays sent in have
had to make the melancholy return
that not one of them came up to a
decent standard Macaulay (hinself a
writer of prize poems) has somewhere
said that prize sheep are only fit to
make candles of, and prize poems to
light them with.

ALL FOR PROTECTION

WASHINGTON, April 15-An in
formal conference of the democratic
members of the Pennsylvania deiega
ton in the house this morning was
unanimously opposed to aay tariff ag
itation whatever.
THE PAIRS
In expectation of the fight over the
Morrison tariff bill to take place to-
day, the members on the republican
and democratic sides who have the
duty of securing pairs for absentees
were kept busy this morning in see
ing that the vote Of no man shoula be
wasted, and that all pairs should con
tain the names of an advocate and an
opponent Of the measure.
AFFIRMED.
The supreme court of the United
States has affirmed tho decree of the
lower court with costs in the suit IN
volving title to the famous Morgan
gold mine in Calaveras county, Gala
fornia.
CAUGHT A COON.
Chas. K. Coon, OF New York, will
be nominated assistant secretary of
the treasury, vice Jno. g. New re-
signed. Coon is at present assisting
Chief Dennison, of the treasury.
ANOTHER CREW.
Commander Schley telegraphed the
secretary from the Brooklyn navy
yards that the crew of the saaler Fox
was rescued from an ice foe by the
sealer Arctic some four days since,
and this undoubtedly gave rise to the
rumor from st. Johns that the Gree
ley party had been rescued.

No other complaints are SO insidious in their

none so trifed with by the majority of suffer-
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from trifing or unconscious ex-

sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in forty years fight

PERILOUs PHOTOGRAPHY.

A thrilling incident, which recently
happened in India, is related by the ma
tive papers. It was no less feat than
the photographing of a tiger and a buffalo
at the instant that they were in deadly
conflict The whole affair had been
deliberately pre-arraneed. The buffalo
was carefully tethesed to a stump in the
middle OF field. The artists who was,
of course, in peril of his life, coolly focus
ed the horned beast. Then the tiger was
let loose, and springing upon the buffalo,
struck The huge creature to the earth
with single blow of his paw. The
camera, at this intense moment, took its
impressions; and the result was picture
wildly representing the deadly scene,
and its victim at the very moment of
dying. THE one beat of the heart, >
says an account ''that interviewed be-
tween the awful blow of the tigers paw
and the victims positive surrender OF
existence, sufficed for the photographer
20 catch and fix with uuerripg fidelity
The attitudes of the slayer and the slain"
This striking achievemenr has its
scientific use. 1t settles, by the indis )
suitable testimony of the suns rays, the
much moo'ed question by what method
the tiger destroys its Trey. The ari {
was man ol rare courage; for, in order
TO achieve this triumph of his art, he took
he chance that the untamable rover of
The Jungle would leap on him, instead of
The victim intended for the deadly onset.
