For Veal or for Woe.

A curious old marriage custom, whicl
is still widely prevalent in Brittany
was recently interpreted in a move
and amusing manner According tc
this custom the bridegroom, imme
diately after the priest has welded tn,
couple, strikes his wife in. the face
saying: This is how you will fare i
you make me angry" and then kissing
her, he says, ''And this is how you
will fare if you treat me well.
A short time ago a young Brent
married German girl, and
after the ceremony was over began at
once to practice the first part of the
custom. The bride, who
was ignorant of the elmer meaning
of what she considered an insult,
turned round ON her lord and master
and returned the stroke, saying, in
broad Suabian dialect: Look here,
[ do not approve OF such BEHAVIOR"
after which the husband is said TO
nave performed the second part of the
ceremony with more than usual affec-
ion.-PaW Mall Gazette.

THE COW LIKED 1T.
An Artists Experience with an Admir;ns
Ayrshire.


Ayrshire.
Edward Gay is an artist of some nott
who lives In Mt, Vernon, and he is
highly esteemed for his thordushness
OF system, lis entertaining and merry
disposition, and his capacity for tell
ing a good story. His speciality in
painting is landscape, but if one should
ask him his opinion of pastoral studies
a scowl would steal over his face for a
moment, to be followed by smile and
an acknowledgment that at was my
fault
Mr. Gay, last autumn, took up his
easel, a piece of canvas stretched upon
a frame, a palette, his brushes and
oils, and went to large and beautiful
meadow, not three hundred feet from
his house, and took up position under
a large apple tree. He had sketched
the outline of the pretty picture before
him, had put ON the groundwork and
had brushed in a part of the grass on
his canvas when luncheon time
came. The sky was cloudless,
hence there was no fear of a
tornado, and as it was too late in the
year for thunder storm, he concluded
that his apparatus would be safe
enough where they were, but it was a
luckless conclusion. When he returned |
from luncheon great Ayrshire cow
stood under the tree with both feet
planted on the canvas. She had licked
off all of the paint representing the
green meadow, had chewed the leather
seated stool, and was about swallowing 4
a long leather strap with which Mr..
Gay bundled every thing together.
When the artist attempted. to protest
against this wanton assumption of
strange cow she became belligerent.
A friend asked Mr.. Gay if his paint
ng. of the meadow was so natural that
he COW mistook it for green GRASP
''Well, learned that the COW had
belonged to an Irishman," he replied,
land was brought up from
calf on the things thrown out from I
he house. In fact, I came to the con-
fusion shat she would eat almost any
hing."-M Y. Tribune. 8

A LOCAL STRIKE.

Salt Lake has been almost entirely
free from strikes and labor troubles,
and such as have occurred here have
been insignificant both as to the num-
Der of men involved and the annoyance
occasioned. A strike is announced t1is
morning, the journeymen plumbers 60
ing out with the view to the enforce
ment of their demand for reduction
of the hours of work to nine with one
hour less on Saturday, the wages to re-
main as at present. We know nothing
about the merits of the mems claim.
Nine hours may be enough time to put
in fer the wages they receive, or the
employers cannot afford to pay so much
for less than ten hours; but we must
congratulate and commend the men
for the reasonable manner in which
they go about it to get what they want.
They do not wait until they get the
employers into tight place whence the
Iatter cannot escape, and then
Squeeze them into submiss on.
This is too often the case with
dissatisfied employees, who take ad-
vantage OF the awkward circumstances
of employers to compel acquiescence
with unreasonable and unjust de-
mands. It is because OF this way Of
doing things that strikers do not
always have the sympathy of the pub
lie which endeaYors to be just IN such
matters. The striking plumbers pro-
pose to finish all contracts made prior
to the going out, on the old terms; that
is to say, the men will continue at work
ten hours a day at the present wages
until these contracts have been COM
p!eted. Thus, the employers cannot be
hurt financially, and if they conclude to
accede to the mems demands they Will
have to take work in future On the
basis of nine hours day.
1t is to be hoped that the disagree
ment will be amicably adjusted at once,
for everybody here dislikes the thought
OF the striking idea getting into the
heads of laboring people. Strikes
rarely if ever result in permanent good
to the strikers; on the contrary, in
three cases out of four the strikers get
the worst of it from the first, and in
the other case they are lucky if they
help themselves even temporarily.

THE NEVADA TEST OATH.

A telegram from Carson says the
Supreme Court of Nevada has decided
that the anti Mormon test oath passed
by the last State Legislature, is IN
constitutional. The oath was passed
under inspiration and direction from
Salt Lake, the same as was that in
Idaho. It imposed religious test on
the citizen, and was special in its appli-
cation, applying to members of the
Mormon Church who were prohibited
from voting or holding Office. 1t was
clearly beyond the Constitutional power
of the Legislature to ;pass the law, but
that fact did not deter the men who
were behind the infamy. If they could
not accomplish their purpose by fair
means they were not above resorting to
foul. The test was made by Mormon
residing in Lincoln County, who was
refused registration because he declined
to take the oath. He thereupon carried
the matter to the Supreme Court which
has done itself credit and administered
deserved rebuke to the late Legis-
lature which had so little regard
for The oath of Office and the
State Constitution as to pass a law
which every member knew he had no
right to pass. The decision is a victory
for right and justice, but it will not af-
feet the election result in the Sage
Brush State. There are very few Nor
mons in Nevada, and if they shall all
vote one ticket, which is not probable,
they will not defeat the other.
1t now remains for the Idaho courts
to nullify the ilIigal act of the Territor-
ial Legislature which put into the books
the disgraceful oath which was intended
to keep citizens away from the polls 81
account of their religion. If the law is
unconstitutional in NeVadait is equally
so in Idaho, which looks to the Federal
Constitution, with its inhibition against
such legislation, and the organic act,
for the metes and bounds of legislative
powers.

THE CONTRIBUTIONS.

It is said that outside the contribu-
tiens to the political funds by the
Federal officials and employees, the
two campaign committees are receiv.
ing about equal amounts in the aggre-
gate, but the sources of these gifts are
entirely different as to the classes. The
Republicans get their revenue almost
exclusively from the manufacturers
and the mine and mill owners, who
send in the contributions to the cam
paign fund by hundreds, thousands
and tens of thousands of dollars. On
the other hand the Democratic fund is
augmented by small contributors
thousands of dollars coming in dollar
gifts from working men and poor peo-
pie.
This tells an excellent story, and
tells it in a most effective manner.
The masses do not desire return to
Republican misrule and corruption in
government. They have learned that
the protective tariff is not in TIE
interest of the laboring men and the
poor people, but is burden upon
them for the benefit Of the rich monopo.
lists. It has finally come to the intelli-
gence of the toilers who work for
wages that the higher the tariff the
lower their pay, and that the prices of
the necessary articles Of food and ap-
parel are not made lower by the ex' ra-
ordinary tax put upon similar articles
of foreign product. Having at last
learned the truth, the working people
are protesting against the continuance
of system which Expresses and robs
them for the benefit of the monopolistic
and trust classes. They are sending in
their mites to help the cause of Demo-
cratic tariff reform.
The manufacturers also know who
are helped by protection" They
know that the SIT per ton bounty which
they get on their steel rails, and the
