which it would be able to levy for rents
amounting to 100000 per annum, and
this sum would be a first discharge on
rents and taxes raised by the Irish Gov
eminent. Adding to this the imperial
contribution, and the sum paid to Eng
land by Ireland would be applied to any
purpose, until G6OO, 900 was paid into the
English exchequer. The present contri-
button of Irish taxpayers to England was
G6,98O,OOO of which England paid
back in Iaish civil service and
in the service of collection 94,S40,000.
The residue, which seemed to rep
resent an imperial contribution for
the army, navy, national debt and
imperial civil charges, was e22 ,OS5 ,0G0.
What did England do with it? As an
instance, she sent an army OF $4,000 men
to Ireland and kept them there at an
annual cost of e3, 900, 900, G915, 900 more
than the balance mentioned. That was
a specimen of the economy of the system
he wanted to root up.
Gladstone commended the scheme to
the strict, jealous, careful, unbiased eX-
animation of Englishmen. He was con-
WINGED it would be recognized as the fit
ting part of great suspicious effort to
sustain the plans of the British Legisla-
ture for the welfare of what had long
been, and the speaker hoped would ever
be, under circumstances far happier than
heretofore, an integral part OF Her Maj
esty's dominion. Mr.. Gladstone spoke
for an hour and thirty-fve minutes, and
concluded amid great applause.
Gladstone's proposals do not imply a
new issue of ESQ, 100000 in three-per-
cents, but only e50,OOO,OOO from the

thorized.

- The festival of Easter was celebrated
in a most fitting manner at the Roman
Catholic Cathedral on Sunday. At the
High Pontihcial Mass at 10 a. m. the
music, under the direction of the Very
Rev Father, Leonore was extremely fine.
Parts of Haydn's and Mozart's Masses
were sung. The St. Louis College band
was stationed in the gallery and played a
most excellent programme of music,
surprising everyone by. the great inn
provement in its playing. The worthy
Brothers are to be congratulated for their
painstaking efforts. After the Mass the
Right Rev. the Bishop of Olba baptised
twenty-five children and ten adults. In
the afternoon confirmation service was
held at which fifty candidates presented
themselves.

conditions become radically changed.
Again, the advantage is uncertain, .
because there will be no possible excuse
for maintaining a high tariff in the
United States after all the national
bonds, redeemable at option, have been
called in. This should happen within
the next half-dozen years at furthest; ii
might happen within two years without
in any way embarrassing the Treasury
or disturbing trade. Congress would
then be compelled to revise the tariff
and duties would first be removed from
articles of food supply and others in
general consumption. Sugar is one OF
the most likely commodities to be SC

1t does seem suggestively suspicion S
therefore that in the teeth of a strong
anti-treaty fight in the House, an inn

the United States would assume terri
tOrial control of this Kingdom through
the cession to it of Pearl Harbor, and

The Best Time for Disposing of Butter

The Best Time for Disposing of Butter
and Cheese.
The best time to sell butter and
cheese, and indeed all farm produce, is
the earliest date at which it can be got
in condition for market. Whoever
holds butter or other perishable goods,
holds them at risk. Butter dcpreci-
ates from the moment it is made until
1t is consumed, and is always liable to
fluctuations in price, which are as often
against the holder rs in his favor,
and he is always losing the interest on
its value as long as he holds it. Hold
ing for q higher price is one
form Of speculation-a business
farmers have no occasion to
indulge in. 1t is true rise in
property may sometimes be foreseen,
making it pretty safe to hold for time,
but when dairyman would not think
II wise or safe to buy butter or cheese
to hold for better price, he had better
not hold his own. The fact that 1t
turns out that he might sometimes have
done better by holding than by selling,
when his goods are first ready for
market, is not sufficient reason for
his holding at another time. for the
chances win as often be against him as
for him, and whichever way it is, he
must always endure the losses from
injury, shrinkage, depreciation, waste
and use Of capital. Therefore, as a

LIVING WITHOUT EATING.
The Novel Experiment Recently Made by
an Italian Gentlemen.

Tho Novel Experiment Recently Made by
an Italian Gentlemen.
Considerable interest has been aroused
in the scientific world here by gentle
man named Giovanni Succi, who pro-
fesses to have discovered liquor, q
small quantity of which will enable a
man to fast for thirty days or even two
months at time. He has voluntarily
submitted himself to the surveillance
of a committee of vigilance at Milan,
some members of which will never
leave him during tho thirty days and
nights of his fast. As mere feat of
endurance it will not equal that per-
formed by the famous DR.. Tanner, but
the circumstances of the case make it
far more interesting to the medical and
scientific world, inasmuch as Signor
Succi says that by the aid of his elixir
any one can do likewise. He lately
tasted fourteen days under watch at
Forli, and one of the most singular
points to be observed is that though ho
loses weight. the flesh taking rather
mummified appearance and the skin a
reddish-yellow tnge, while the pupils
of the eyes are dilated, yet his muscu-
lar force does not seem to be dimin-
ished.
Signor Succi is forty-five years old,
and until ten years ago was employed
in bank in Rome. In 1876 he went
to Constantinople, and thence began'a
long series of travels in Africa and the
East. which led, as he allirms, to his
discovery. He says he made important
treaties with some native princes, and
secured oncessions-among others tho
Island of Joannah, which he wished to
cede to the Italian Government on his
return. No notice was taken of his
repeated application to King and Min
isters, as his accounts of his African
treaties were always accompanied by
descriptions of the merits of his Won
derful elixir and he was judged to be
mad.
He was in fact, during short time,
shut up in the mad-house in Rome, but
the doctors were fain to admit that he
showed no signs of mental alteration
and he was liberated. He has visited
both North and South Africa, Arabia,
Nubia, South America and NADIA
gascar. He declares that the herbs
from which his liquor is extracted grow
in Africa, but that they are also to pc
found in Italy.
A well-known Italian traveller with
whom 1 spoke on the subject is not dis
posed to pooh-pooh Succis pretentions
altogether, having, he said, known the
Peruvian Indians and the Malays (the
latter carrying burdens) to perform a
march of several days without food,
merely chewing and retaining in the
hollow of the check leaf which they
gathered, in which they rolled small
quantity of ashes and salt. At any
rate, 1t is here determined to sift the
matter thoroughly.
Succi swallowed sixty grammes OF his
liquid at the commencement OF hi;
fast and is to take nearly as much more
about half way through. He also un-
dertakes to swallow an emetic potion
and doses of Hunyadi Janos water. in
addition to the spring water which he
will drink. He will also use very
small quantity of camphorated oil as
an external embrocation. --Roxae Cor
