Dining Under Peculiar Circumstances.

Dining Under Peculiar Circumstances
An amusing story reaches us from Metz
Of an adventure which has just befallen
a French family living in the neighbor.
hood of the frontier. These people have
some relatives residing in German Lor-
raine, who invited them to luncheon
day or two ago. Noon was the hour
fixed, but the hosts, after waiting for
some time in vain, betook themselves to
the frontier to meet their French kins-
folk. They found the family in a car
riage on the French side of the boundary
line trying to persuade the guard to let
them pass; but as they had come unpro-
vided with passports the official barred
the way obstinately. The French people,
whose appetites had been sharpened by a
long drive, were in no humor to return
home with their hunger unappeased, so
they suggested to their German relatives
that they should hurry back and fetch
the viands which they had provided for
them.
Their perplexed hosts eagerly caught
at the idea, and soon reappeared with a
goodly stock of dishes and bottles, the
contents of which they proceeded to dis.
cuss in company. The French sat down
on their side of the boundary and the
Germans on theirs, and mirth and jollity
crowned the al fresco repast. Mean
while the official, completely check
mated, fitted about in anything but ar
enviable frame of mind. He could moi
appeal to any law or regulation to put
stop to this outdoor meal, and, as the
French and Germans were each "chei
eux," he had no alternative but to keel
sharp lookout in the hope of catching
somebody tripping. He was not, how
ever, allowed any opportunity of finding
fault, and when the friends had finished
their repast they separated, both parties
returning to their respective homes il

at having won a victory over the sterl

Tie Erratic ST, Lawrence.

"The st: Lawrence river" said Clay
ton member of the Cogburn club last
evening, sis a most erratic as well as
beautiful body of water. You have prob
ably noticed several items in the news
papers of vessels sailing on it running
aground because of low water. Just
think Of it--low water with the almost
continuous rains we have had the past
spring, summer and fall! But such is
the fact. And in some other generally
dry seasons the st. Lawrence has been
unusually high. 1t is said that the grand
old river has one of these lew spells
sinking fits, so to speak-every seven
years, bat 7 can't vouch for the truth of
that. The fact remains, however, that
it is unlike airy other body of water
know of, and when other streams and
neighboriag lakes are high the St. Law
renee is apt to make a contrary showing

fact would seem se confirm somewhat

The drift of the young men of the
country to the Democratic party is ac-
cepted as fact by many Republican
journals, who bewail it openly, and at
tempt to account for it by denouncing
the college Presidents, and professors
who have been setting the boys bad ex-
ample, as we'll as teaching them heret-
ical economical doctrines. The New
York Post on this point says:
The real reason is, that the young men
of the country care little or nothing
about the party hatred of the past, and
care great deal about the pressing
governmental problems of the present.
They follow the college presidents and
professors, and in fact almost the entire
intellectual strength of the country, is
turning away from the Republican par
ty because that party has been captur-
ed by the Wanamakers, Quays, Dud-
leys, Platts, Mahones, and Forakers,
who have no other idea Of politics and
government than to work them on busi-
ness principles "for all they are worth. "
When the young men see Republican
President lavishing all his honors and
favors upon leaders of this sort, and Re
publican press extolling them as wise
statesmen and patriots, while at the
same time denouncing as TRAITORS,
"renegades," and "humbugs" the col,
lege presidents, and professors, and
other of the eountry's ablest and puresi
men who take different view, what is
the natural result? Why, simply thai
every young man of intelligence and
self-respect must in sheer disgust turr
away from party which has sunk sc
| low.

John Thomas Heslop, of Birming-

there was an instant and startling
change for the better. When hissight

Hibbard's Strengthening and Rheu-
matte PlasterS
ARE A REVELATION TO THE WORLD, AND ARE TIL

ONLY GENUINE BHEUMATlC PLASIEhS.
Nine -tenths of all troubles which require
the aid of plasters are rheumatic in their ma
ture. A change of weather, or sudden draft
causes cold. which develops into muscular
and that into infiamatory rheumatism. And
yet, there has never been such a thing as a
distinctly rheumatic and strengthening plas-
ter, and hundreds have died suddenly where
rheu1natism has attacked the heart, whose
lives might have been saved had this plaster
been applied in season. They are construct
ed on purely scientific principals and are
purely vegetable.
