BLAINE AND CLEVELAND.

The following extracts are taken from
an editorial In the New York Sun Of
February 18Th:
THE COURSE OF POLITICAL EVOLUTION"
That natural and logical evolution Of
politics, which tends to preclude both
the nomination Of Mr.. Blaine by the re-
publicans and the nomination of Mr..
Cleveland by the democrats, would seem
to have been moving rapidly forward Of
late toward the contamination ofits per-
feet work. And most suggestive fea-
ture of the process is the simultaneous
and solemn asseveration of the shouters
of both sorts that their respective cham
pions are more sure of the thing, and
more irresistible and inevitable than any
champions ever were before since poll
tics began.
Between the two gentlemen, the Re-
publican Blaine and the Democrat
Cleveland. there Is striking opposition
of character and personality; and the
queer point OF it is that this very per-
soDslity and this very character in each
are contributing toward the simultane-
Gus retirement OF both from that high
position which now for several years
they have occupied. Thus contrary
causes sometimes produce Identical re-
suits.

SO easy is it of digestion that invalids
drink ten, fifteen and occasionally

an hour or two to be ready for more.

time of milking her fo;:l is brought to
her side, when such is the joy Of re-
union that, after sundry acts of loving
and smelling and kissing. the maternal
feeling shows itself by her sometimes
giving milk from both nipples at once.
Milking is done by the bashkir wom-
en-. who. taking position close to the
hind-legs of the mare, rest on one
knee, and on the other support a pail
directly under the udder, pulling at
each nipple in turn. and receiving
from three to four pints each time Of
milking. To make koumiss the milk
is beaten up in a churn (but not suf-
ficiently to procure butter). and by
fermentation is converted after twenty
four hours into weak koumiss. from
which condition after twelve hours
more it passes into a medium degree Of
strength. whilst strong koumiss is pro-
duced by assiduous agitation of the
milk for two or three days, and it is
then said to be slightly intoxicating.

JEWISH MEAT SHOPS.

How Hebrew "Schochets" Prepare Meats
According to Religious Law.
A visit to one of the shops where
kosher meat is sold shows nothing
especially out of the common. Its
looks are much like any other every
day meat market, though the close OBJ
server might mark the absence of the
sirloin steaks and other hindquarter
cuts, which the Gentle thinks the best
in the beef. Curious signs in Hebrew
or German characters announce to the
faithful that kosher" meat is sold and
that the proprietor is or has in his en-
ploy an authorized '-schochet." When
a customer comes one might also note
that the cutter removes nearly or quite
all the bones from the piece he may
select. Sometimes these bones are
left behind. but the buyer has a right
to take them. done up in separate
package, if he so desires.
Orthodox Hebrews who strictly OBJ
serve the "law," and there are many
such in Milwaukee. will eat nothing
but kosher meat The whole busi-
ness from killing the steer down. is
governed by rigid traditions. which
must be carefully observed under PEN

MOTHER OF PEARL.
A Account Of the Faz-Famsd Fisheries a.
the Red 0oa.

A Account Of the Ear-Famod Fishe1les a
the Red 0ea.
Those shells which possess hard,
brilliant and silvery internal layer are
much sought after, and fishing for
them furnishes occupation for many
people in various countries. We find
the following interesting account Of
this business as carried on the Red
Sea- The mother-of-pearl fisheries
extend the whole length of that water.
About three hundred boats are en-
ployed by the Arab tribes who are
engaged in the work-open, unlocked
boats, of from eight to twenty tons
burden, carrying large lateen sail,
manned by crews of from five to twelve
men. and each provided with number
of small canoes. There are two fish
ing seasons during the year, one of
four and one Of eight months, during
nearly the whole of which the boats
keep at sea. Fatal accidents are said
to unknown among the divers, and
they are remarkable for their strength
and good health. They dive between
the ages of ten and forty years,
and the practice is said to have no ill
effects. Operations are conducted only
in calm weather, when the shell can
be discovered by the eye at a depth
varying between seven and fifteen
fathoms. Of late years, empty petro-
leum tins, with ends knocked out and
a sheet OF glass inserted il one end.
have been used to assist the eye. The
glazed end of the tin is submerged un-
der the sea, when much clearer and
deeper vision is obtained. During the
Last ten years the find is said to have
diminished, owing to the dearth of
shells, from ten to twenty per cent. in
quantity Christian at Work.
