CNcr;NATI and Chicago are now happy be-
cause the American hog is to be rendered the
freedom Of France. But American consum
ers will please bear in mind that while this
will tend to advance the price Of pork and
hams in the United States, they still, on ac-
count Of the Mckinley law. have to pay three
or four prices for any article Of prime neces-
sity imported from France. IL looks as if the
American consumer had to be satisfied with
crow while the manufacturer and pork pack
era have turkey all tho time.

FACTS FOR vENTRILoQUISTs.
Few Suggestions for Those DESTROYS of
Acquiring the Art.

thr trt.
Here are a few practical hints as to
the modes of procedure to be followed
by would be ventriloquists, although
half a dozen lessons from a good pro-
fessional would do infinitely more for
them than all the books that have been
written upon the subject, and which,
by the way, are usually mass of the
oretical phraseology.
Before any attempt is made with the
voice, the student must be prepared to
devote some time and attention to the
breath, which he must get entirely
under control, so as TO be able to hold it
for considerable time without strain
ing. This, of course, must be gradual
process.
Before commencing to- practice, a
strong inspiration should be taken, as
the lungs require to be furnished with
a plentiful supply of air, which has to
be well controlled and allowed to es-
cape gradually. He must cndcavor to
breathe through his nose and keep his
mouth shut. This is u hint which it
would be as well for every one to re-
member, and 50 save a great deal of
cold catching and Illness
The learner must study at all times
to initiate sounds, not as they are
heard at their source. but as they fall
upon the ear after travelling from
distance. That is the golden rule of
ventriloquisln, and if il is continually
kept in mind success is certain. As
conjurers endcavor to deceive the eve,
SO ventriloquists endeavor to deceive
the ear.
The distant voice. originates at that
spot in the throat where the ''cluck''
takes place when drinking, so, without
any facial cOntortions or movement of
the lips, the words must be forced
against the back part of the palate one
by one, with a series of short, quick
breaths, at the same time strengthening
the sounds by using the muscles of the
stomach, which viii give them increased
power, So that they viii reach the
audience clear and distinct. The farther
off the sound is supposed to be, the
smaller the quantity of breath must be
expired
The great fault with beginners is
straining after effect. No sooner do
they make a little headway and begin
to feel their feet than they want to
run, proceeding which will bring
their endeavors to dismal failure

ton The shady platform ut the north
end of that depot is a favorite resort
for balloons and loafers; and while the
colonel was talking to the receiving
clerk his leopard strolled out to the
platform, where little street-Arab had
fallen asleep upon n pile of gunny
bags The moment he approached that
pile troop Of rhesus-monlIcys lcaped
from the roof, and. instantly surround
ing the boy, faced the intruder with
bristllng names and menacing growls,

Practical and Opportunc Settlement of a
Very Abstruse Question.
Sitting in cafe last evening heard
imagination, says a writer in the New
York Continent. Each was an imag-
mary master of his own peculiar theory.
Il tell you." said one. a venerablC-loolI-
ing gentleman with refined and intelli-
gent features, imagination i a myth.
The word has no basis. IL deals IN intan-
gible things. 1t is a monstrosity. The
word imagination should bc eliminated
from the dictionary; il means nothing. ."
Imagination is ideality," remarked
his companion. 1T deals in images Of
the mind. These images are distinct
mental shapes; therefore they are
things. The world would be barren
place If there were no Imagination.
Therefore, / say, imagination is 4
good word. II must remain ia any COM
plctc dictionary"
The dispute began 10 wax noisy. just
then the proprietor happened along.
His imagination began 10 work. Il
imagine, - said he. that you two have
talked enough. Now skip.
The contentious pair moved ont. And
the champion of imagination, as sig
nihcant Anglo-SaNon word, was heard
whispering To his companion:

That mans remark proves H.

Rows Between Amert can ana Brftlsl

at is curious thing, and one which
could never satisfactorily account for,
said an old navy man the other day to a
New York Times writer, but if the
crews of an American and British man
of war are given leave at the same time
in foreign port the result of broken
heads and noses is no more a matter of
speculation than the calculation of the
next eclipse. As soon as they meet
row is started, which generally ends
with all hands being disabled or ar-
rested, and sometimes both. 1t frequent
ly happens that the police interfere
with the contestants. The unwritten
law in this case is for the belligerents
to join forces against the common
enemy. / have often seen them come
out victorious in their contests with the
officers of the law, and. after adjourn
ing to a neighboring saloon for refresh
ments. begin again their interrupted
hostilities. But it is only on neutral
ground that these general engagements
take place. If they meet on English or
American soil each tries to outvie the
other in hospitality"

Negroes Not SpIteful.

An official at Albany, Ga, who has
had much experience with criminals,
both black and white, says that to lock
negro up establishes a feeling of kind
ness and friendship in his breast for the
officer that arrests him that makes him
ever afterward the officers friend. AS
a rule there is less of the spirit of vim
dictiveness and spite in the negro's
composition than in any other race. If
you arrest n white man, he will, how
ever fair-minded he may be, entertain
a spiteful feeling against you, but a
negro becomes more respectful and po-
lite than ever.

allow of such thing. The law pro-
tects the broker, and it is proper that
it should, but the capture and convic-

in such cases.

could be found.

KISSING GOOD-BY

A kiss he took and a backward look,
And her heart grew suddenly lighter,
a tribe you say, TO color day,
Yet the duh gray morn seemed brighter
For hearts are such that tender touch
May baEisn look OF sadness;
A small. slight thing can make Us sing
But frown viii check our giadness
The cheeTiest ray along our way
Is the little act OF kindness.
And the Ircencst sting some careless thing
That was done in "A moment Of blindness.
We can bravcly face life IN 4 home where strife
No folSnCil can discover,
And be lovers stil Il we only viii,
Though youths bright days over.
All. sharp swords cut the unllnd words
That are FAR beyond recalling,
When face lies hid meath corin-lid.
And bitter tears are falling
We fain would give half the lives we live
To undo our idle scorning;
Then let Us not miss the smile and kiss
When We part IN the light ~ morning.

Great Place for Papers.

The little republic of Uruguay has

people than any country on the globe.
The city of Montevideo, its capital, has

nearly twice as maryland three times
as many as the city of New York In
Buenos Ayrcs there are fourteen or
fifteen daily papers, a large number of
wecklies and several monthly period
