Permit me to contradict, or at least
correct the publication in the daily
Express. | do not IN the least ac-
knowledge the right OF the city to
levy an occupation tax upon my bust
ness of S75 per year besides inspection
fees
The fact that have paid the occu
patton tax for the current quarter will
not prevent an appeal to an appellate
court. If it is law to levy that tax
upon butchers who occupy stalls upon
their own or leased property and ex
empt those who occupy city property
the supreme courts will have to saw
so before l shall be persuaded of the
truth of the proposition.
The city modus operandi with ref
erence to inspection fees is well
known to all butchers, if not to the
public. About every ten days the
officer collects his tees and inspects
the money that he receivea
and calls the thing "poli {
regulation" II the money is refused
prosecutions are threatened. The
Judge before whom we ara tried con.
fesses that he has strict orders from
the mayor 10 enforce the ordinances
My idea OF the judiciary has beer
that the executive power has NJ
orders to give 70 the judiciary but il

seaweed as Food.

To The Scottish Review MI. A. 81. J.
Crespi contributes an interesting article
upon strange foods. ''Seaweed," says DR..
Crespi, sis eaten on the coasts Of Scot
land and ireland in vast quantities, and
though unpalatable and favorless is at
times the chief food Of some Of the poor
est. When dry it is richer than oatmeal
or Indian corn in heterogeneous constitu-
ents, and takes rank among the most
nutritious of vegetable foods. LAYER is
an exception to the low estimation In
which seaweed is held, and is favorite
condiment. We have known it eaten in
large quantities in North Devon and
with much relish.
To prepare seaweed for the table IL
should be stepped in water to get rid Of
the salt with which it is impregnated,
and little carbonate of soda removes
the bitter taste, which to some palates
is most disagreeable. It should then be
stewed in milk or water till mucilagi-
nous, and is best favored with'vinegar or
pepper. Fungi are almost everywhere
largely eaten, though in England less
attention is paid to them than they de-
serve, and few kinds appear at table.
A curious error is to suppose that
fungi are eatable and toadstools poison
GUS. No such ineof demarcation exists,
nor, strictly speaking, has the name
toadstool any precise meaning. Very
many fungi are edible, and the common
agaric usually eaten in England is not
the most palatable and wholesome. Few
foods are more savory, and none are
greater favorites, than well cooked fungi,
and the souls of vegetarians yearn for
them.

Disraeli's Curious Episode.

The most curious episode in Mr.. Disraeli's
life occurred in the year of the great exhibit
ton, when Mrs. Bridges Willyams, then liv-
ing widowed at Torquay, wrote to him pro.
Tossing admiration and asking advice. He
did not answer and she wrote again. Meet
ing Devonshire man at Monckton Mines,
he asked him if he knew a mad woman at
Torquay named Willyams, and was assured
that Mrs. Willyams was not mad. Still he
did not reply. and she wrote asking him to
meet her near the fountain in the exhibition.
He did not go, and she wrote again, naming
another hour.
His friends advised him to keep the ap-
pointment and he did 30. He found an old
lady who might have sat for the figure of a
fairy godmother. She told him a long story
and gave him an envelope containing a
statement on which she wanted an inioD.-
Disraell put it in his pocket and forgot it,
Weeks afterwards he put on the same coat,
and there was the envelope containing
bank note for thousand pounds for his
election expenses and the legal case, which
was not absurd. He got lawyers opinion
for her and sent it. That was the beginning
ofa long correspondence. When she died
she left him her fortune and was buried at
at Hugheaden.

superst1tious jews.

The most of the Jerusalem Jews are
poor, and nine-tenths of them are sur
rounded by dirt and squalor. took a
little Greek boy for guide one day and
made tour through the Jewish quar-
tiers. My Greek could talk half dozen
different languages, and we went
through section after section of the city
in which thousands of these Jews lived.
Their houses were of stone, and they
looked as though they had been dug out
of a rock like cave. Whole families
were living in one room Of the size Of
hall bedroom, and few of these rooms
had any windows. Many of them
opened out on little courts, and I found
up two flights of stairs six families liv-
ing in as many cave like rooms around
a dirty little close square.
Outside of each room was little pen
in which there was rude stove for the
burning of charcoal, and in these little
box like pens, only large enough for
woman to turn around in, all the cook
ing of the family was done. Through
the center of the court ran well which
was the property of the whole COM
munity. There were no sanitary ar
rangements of any kind, and the smell
of filth was disgusting. On the door
posts of each of these rooms was tackled
a strip of parchment six inches long, on
which were Hebrew characters. asked
what these meant, and was told that
they represented the name of Jehovah
and the ten commandments. These
Jews have great faith, and they believe
this parchment protects them from in
jury. They wear the ten command
ments tied around their arms, under
their clothes, and at times of worship
they bind philacteries about their fore
heads.-Frank G.. Carpenter in National
Tribune

A Homecoming.

Mr.. John Drew, the owner ofa milk route,
was an elderly widower who lived in Somer-
vile, just out of Boston. His house was
kept for him by his sister Betsey, capable
spinster, whose gray hairs left her age no
longer uncertain. One day Miss Betsey
Drew saw the milk wagon which her brother
himself drove return from Boston an hour
earlier than usual in the forenoon, and by his
side was woman.
He drove up to the side door, unhitched
the horse, put him into the stable and came
into the house by means of the back door and
through the kitchen into the sitting room
where Miss Betsey was.
"Well, John Drew" she said severely,
looking up from her knitting; "this is queer
business You, man in good standing, a.
driving home with your wagon so early and
leaving it standing by the door, and girls
a-sitting there like stoughton botllesr'
Girls |" echoed John Drew. He had been
plunged deep in thought, and had entered
mechanically by the usual door. But that
word reused him. He smiled joval smile.
He seized his sisters wrist.
"Come, Betsy" said he, "come and see her !
declare forgot all about herr
They were at the side door by this time
aud he pushed it open.
Jump out, Lucyi" he called cheerily to
the girl in the milk wagon and as she obe-
diently climbed over the wheel John Drew
stood beaming on the door step, performing
an introduction:
"Betsey, this is my wife. Lucy, this is my
sister that keeps house for us.
"You see, Betsey," he exclaimed, as the
girl drew near, II got done going round in
town little earlier than usual this morning,
SO as had little time on my hands, went
and got married. That's right, salute the
bride"

The Chinese PeOpIe.

EVERY traveller" said President Angel, of
Ann Arbor University, in q lecture before
the Art Institute. "who wanders to China and
Japan goes with the conviction that the
Japanese are the superior people-he comes
back with the knowledge that the Chinese
are. They have the staying power the long,
strong pull of the Anglo-Saxon." -
He told story off great Chinese general
of his acquaintance who was discussing with
him the Nibilistic trouble in Russia.
"Why," said the general, II had people of
the same sort down south here, but | didn't
have any trouble with them, not q Bit"
"What was your policyf" inquired Mr..
Angel.
"Why, just beheaded {, 400 of 'em no
trouble whatever" answered the general.
1.-THE Chinese" said Mr.. Angel. "seem to
care very little shout killing or being killed"
Speaking of the unspeakably bad judicial
system of the country, he said it was a fact,
almost incredible, that man condemned
to death could hire a substitute for that in.
teresting ceremony. The substitute had all
the opium he wanted until the execution,
and what more could man ask"
The speaker explained, what had always
been mystery to him until he VENT China.
just why the country was 5000 years behind
the times. 1t was all due to the system of
education. All education, 80 called, in that
country is based upon the one great pervad
ing idea that all that is great in any sort of
learning is that which has gone before. The
examination of eligibles for all scholastic and
political positions is based on the nine books
of sacred writ, recited by Coutucius. A man
is called scholar if he knows these and not
anything else. Everything is judged by
these sacred books. The one good and
democratic thing about IL ia that any man ia
eligible to any position under that of emper-
or.
Gas to society,"" said the speaker, "they
is simply that they don't recognize woman
kind. If you ask a Chinaman how many
children he has he will only count
his boys. The lot of Chinese woman is
wretched one."
Here are few facts gathered from the ad
dress. Drunkenness Is almost unknown in
China. There are few charities. There is
the most intense ignorance as TO current
events there were no newspapers, no tele-
graph lines. Politeness is part of the Chinese
religion, but the average Chinaman is an
unmitgated liar. Filial obedience is a
Chinese virtue. The Celestals are great be-
levers in "signs," thousands in number
They have no straight streets or walls, be-
cause they believe the devil travels in
straight line. They want no foreigners
"The Chinese" said Mr.. Angel, "are
docile, they are not a warlike race, and yet
once aroused. with their unnumbered mil
lions, they would make tremendous amount
of trouble to any nation on the face of the
earth. The country is gradually succumb
ing to Western civilization, hut slowly, very
slowly"

Infant Foods.

At u meeting of the American Associ-
alton for the Advancement of Science
DIR. Frederick Hoffman spoke about the
food preparations now, so largely used
for infants and children as substitutes
for mothers milk and other food. Ac-
cording to reliable estimates the guam
tity of such artificial food annually con-
sumed in the United States amounts in
money value from about $4,000, 900 to
100000. The problem of artificial
food for the rising generation, and par
ticularly during the first period of its
struggle for life and survival, is very
important one, not only to the state, the
commonwealth and the family, but also
to the sanitarian and the chemist. These
artificial foods mostly claim to be per-
feet; few have been analysed by indie
pendent chemists, often with question:
able accuracy or results, while many
are Of unknown composition. HALLS

STRANGED.

Twas yesterday-on meeting
Wepassed word or two,
And parted In a moment
With but light adieu.
Why was 1t, going homeward.
My heart beat to o tune
We heard one night together
Beneath the summer moonf
A rhyme It was of Goethe's,
With mellow music blent-
"Tell me how love cometh?"
We smiled in loves content.
"And tell me how love goethf"
Life's vision DER us rose.
We breathed the words together
On to the tender close.
Ali why should I remember,
Now that the years are spent,
How, hand in hand, we echoed:
st was not love that went?"
Like warm zephyr straying
From out some fairer cline
Floats down the chilly distance
The music and the rhyme.
"And tell me how love goeth?"
Still, sometimes, unrepressed,
My heart calls throughEthe silence.
When hours are loneliest.
Away the thought-whatever
Has life's estranging meant.
Too sadly remember
1T was not love that went"
Mary Espy Thomson In New York Herald
