Feathered Policemen.

The description given by The London
Globe of the cariamas or soriemas, To-
Gated in the eastern aviary of the Zoolog-
ical gardens, will amuse everybody
while it should not surprise any one
That there should be among birds a
species which is fitted to perform among
its kind the duties undertaken among
men by policemen is fact for which all
ought to be prepared. Why should not
each variety Of created things have in its
midst the same sort of functions and
functionaries, modified according to Cir
cumstances and habit? More than one
pictorial artist-as, for instance, G. II.
Bennett in this country-has shown us
what marvellous resembIances birds and
animals can be made to bear and actually
do bear to man, and if humanity finds it
necessary to have policemen, why should
not the ''feathered tribes" be similarly
impclled.
The cariama seems particularly we'll
fitted for the post of public guardian. He
perambulates his cage with all the regu-
larity and hauteur of his human proto-
type on his "beat," and if at intervals he
emits piercing shrieks which seem I'M
called for, he only the more faithfully
carried out the analogy. This, no doubt,
is his way of blowing the whistle, and
when he does it in his cage it is probably
from instinct OF from immemorial Gus
tom. He has already been acclimatized
i'll the poultry yard, where he faithfully
performs his duty as the preserver of
order. If two young cocks assault or
batter each other he steps in between
them and stops the combat "by a series
of pecks divided impartially at the heads
of both"
Impartiality, of course, is an excellent
quality in a policeman, whether he be
bird OF man; would there were more of
it. The origin of the cariama is, it seems,
lost in obscurity; but it is admittedly
ancient, and possibly he may be lineal
descendant Of the judge birds of ornitho-
logical antiquity.-Denver Republican.

COFFEE CAKE.-Take one-half cup
of brown sugar, one.halt cup of butter.
one.half cup molasses, two cups -four,
one cup Of strong coffee, one egg, one
cup of raisins, two teaspoonfuls OF
cinnamon, one of allspicc, half a tea
spoonful Of cloves, and one teaspoonful
of cloves in the molasses. Cream the
butter and sugar together. then stir in
the molasses and spices, the egg, the
coffee, and last the flour.
CooKrEs.-Ooe cup of sugar, one
(or two) well-beaten eggs, one half cup
butter. one-half cup milk, one teaspoon
cream of tartar, one scant teaspoon of
soda. Cream the butter and sugar
together, add the eggs, the cream tar.

more of -four, the soda dissolved in the
milk, favor to taste, and -four to make
a dough as soft as can be rolled.
BEEFsrEK Plea savory dish, and
one that suits those fond OF simple
seasoning, is beefsteak pie. Cut two
pounds of the under side of the round
into small cubes, cover with cold water
and simmer gently until tender. Season
with salt, pepper, thicken the gravy
slightly, and it not rich enough add a
piece of butter. Put the meat and
gravy in deep baking dish, cover
with thick layer of white potato,
boiled in sailed water mashed with the
addition of a piece of butter and some
milk, and the y beaten to cream. Beat
an egg very light, pour over the potato
and bake until a rich brown. An
onion sliced thin and stewed with the
meat improves the flavor for some tastes.
1t is important in stewing or "boiling"
meat or fowl to remember that gentle
simmering at $50 degrees cooks the
meat quite as quickly and in much
more savory manner than furious boil
ing at PIP degrees.

Tough Old Zulu Chiefs,

The old chiefs in South Africa know
nothing about trekking, and on several
occasions became so impatient that they
started off on foot ahead of the wagons.
One day they had to walk thirty-seven
miles before reaching water, and then
had to wait two days on scant rations
before we came up with them. One of
these men is 10 years old, but the tough
old Zulu (the Matabele rulers are of Zulu
origin) was none the worse for the esca-
pade.
On another occasion, in spite of our
warnings, they left us, armed only with
assegais, in the worst part of the lion
country. When we followed few hours
afterward we saw to our horror that
their footprints in the sand had been
partially obliterated by the spoor of a
lion. Fortunately, however, he had fol-
lowed them only for some hundred
yards, and then, probably rot being hun
CRY, he wandered off toward pool of
water.
Such vagaries were to us a source of
constant anxiety, for how could we face
the king without bringing back his In
dams? Our own lives would not have
been safe. We should have been pro-
claimed as imposters or accused of
witchcraft
However, we managed to divert their
minds and keep them employed at the
wagons by shooting twenty-six gray
monkeys for them. The skins of this
particular species are only worn by
royalty or big chiefs.-Cor. London Tele-

Vermont Prohibition.

Hon. II. G. Root, of Bennington, VT,
says: Opponents of the present law
make mistake in saying that a pro-
hibitory law for the past thirty years
has failed to prohibit. We have had an
actual prohbitory law for one year only,
the legislature of 1888 so amending the
existing law that it is now nearer abso-
lutte Prohibition than any state in the
Union. In Bennington, before last year,
there were between sixty and seventy
saloons. Now there are less than six,
and they are holes that no decent man
would enter. They are patronized by
the same men who carry a bottle around
in their pocket and who would get drunk
anyway. We have now law that will
convict in spite of perjury"

James could accept the offer or not,

"James, this land has doubled in

per cent has made your tax dollar an
acre year. But you can easily get
500 an acre over aud above the tax, and
that means that the land is worth $40

"But," James would say. IL haven't
taken any of the offers I have had"
"That makes no difference the
assessor would reply. "This land is
worth double what it was and you must
pay doable tax"
"But want to build house on it,
every well, build your house, and
you will not be taxed for that; but you
must pay for your land what it is worth
in the market"
What would be unfair about that?
Do we suppose the single tax would
induce the farmer to add to the beauty
of his place? Do you suppose exemp-
ton from taxation would not induce
hin to add to its beauty? We say to
the farmer: "Improve, bcautify all you
can. You shall not be taxed for it. No
matter how much your farm increases
in value, your tax shall not increase one
penny unless the value of the mere land
of your farm increases, and that can
not be said to increase unless the value
of land all around you increases. No

unimproved land for 81 ;lf, when he can
get just as good uninproved land for

is not for the land Of you farm, but for

IL IL Again Alleged Bishop LoughIin IL
TO be Relieved of Active Duty.

TRENTON, May 1l.-For somo time there
have been rumors that Bishop O'Farrell is TO
be transferred TO Brooklyn to succeed Bishop
LouGhlin. A Catholic of this city received.
last week. from Baltimore and from source
close to Cardinal Gibbons, what purDorted to
be information that the subject was now under
serious consideration at Rome. and that tho
transfer was likely to be announced in the i'm
mediate future. This would be In the line OF
promotion for Bishop OFarrel. as the diocese
OF Long Island is larger and OF more import-
ance in tho ecclesiastical world than Trenton.
Bishop LouGhln's adv anced years give ground
for the report that he is to be relieved at least,
from active duty.
AT ST. Mary S Cathedral here the Rev. Father
McCloskey said to-day that he had heard tho
IInmors Of possible elevation of Trenton's
Bishop. Another Clergyman said
The report is current both in this diocese
and in Brooklyn and some entertain the be-
liei that the matter will be settled one way or
the other during Archbishop Corrigan 5 visit to
home. Probably some one in authority at Bal
timore has received an advance intimation
from the Arch bishop a. to what is contem-
plated, We would not be surprised at hearing

prudence, like every other science, Is progress

OF the provision for capital punishment as a
penalty for certain crimes. The number Of
crimes which command capital punishment
has steadily decreased Of late years
In some States and countries capital
punishment has been entirely abolished. The
Bible is not now taken as an authority in civil
matters. perhaps. but 1t still has great moral
force. The passage in the Bible rolled upon

Again capital punishment is inexpedient
because it eXcites the very passions tn at lead

THE highest teachers OF Jurisprudence. as
well as religion. say that crime is deferred
more by uniformity OF conviction than by
threatened violence. If a constitutional
amendment were passed taking away the par
doning power Of State officers and making life
imprisonment the Ienalty Of murder. with the
provision that no convicted person should be
released unless he proved himself innocent in
the court that tried him. or an equivalent
court, it would have q greater deterrent effect
than capital punishment While the public
has been startled by the novelty Of the pro-
posed electrical executions. and tho alleged
abhorrent cruelty attached to them. II will be
found that it IS really, opposed TO al! capital
punishment. This T. shown by the reluctance
Of !uries to convict when capital punishmentis is

where lmprlSOnment only would result.
