Senator Bills of Scott Co., sought
to tax church property. Now
the republican party indorse that
policy and goes further in its 8th res

books the few exemptions heretofore
given to farmers OH their farm imple-

not evidence of their liberality. They

One popular fallacy in connection with
fish may be noticed, namely, the oft re-
peated assertion that the eating of that
particular food increases brain power.
No one who has studied the subject can
possibly believe the assertion. A man
might eat n huge portion Of fish every
day of his life, and on the day of his
death, il the quantity of phosphorus (the
brain invigorator) consumed were to be-
come visible, it would not amount to
more than might probably suffice to tip
a couple of lucifer matches.
Communities have existed that lived
almost solely on fish, but these ichthy-
ophagists were certainly not famous for
intellectual attainments. Nor are our
fisher villages, in many of which much
fish is presumably consumed, the seats
of n great mount of brain power.
None of our fisherfolks are remarkable
for genius, or even what is called com
mon sense, their views of life and it's re.
sponsibilities being shrouded in haze of
superstition, which they lack sufficient
strength of mind to see through.
No fishing community, so far as is
known TO the writer, has given to the
world a great man. Men Of mark
poets, preachers, lawyers, philosophers,
warriors and physicians have ema-
mated, in Scotland at any rate, from all
classes except the fishing class.-Temple
Bar,

The announcement that Bishop Hunt
ington at the age of se~venty-two asks for
assistance because the duties of his do
cese are beyond his ability to discharge
them, reminds us that this active and
indefatigable prelate is one of our ven
cradle men. Bishop Clark, who is the
acting diocesan in Massachusetts, today,
is over eighty and exhibits but few of
the marks of old age. Bishop Coke is
already several years beyond threescore
and ten, andis still a vigorous and active
man. Bishop Williams, of Connecticut,
the present primate of the Episcopal
church, is very nearly seventy-five and
is still in charge of his diocese, though
his duties fall heavily upon him. Bishop
Littlejohn, of Long Island, is not far
from seventy, and must be classed among
these olcer men.-Boston Herald.

On Wednesday evening a young man
with a pretty oma on his arm. entered
the Hotel Boyer.
At the door they parted, she remain
ing in the vestibule, where her rustic
beauty caused a sensation, while he went
up TO the desk and registered. He was
evidently nervous, for he nearly put the
wrong end of the pen in the ink, and
finally wrote: Mr.. and Mrs. Blank and
wife, and forgot to set down the place
he came from. The clerk, however, was
used to such vagaries, and assigned the
newly married couple to n room.
The bridegroom taking the key, still
In n state of fusterment, forgot all about
the bride he had left upon the threshold
and hurried off up stairs. When he
reached the room of course he remem-
bered his life partner, and returned
headlong to the Office TO find her. But
in the meanwhile the clerk had observed
Mrs. Blanks plight and sent a bellboy
to take her to her room. So when the
bridegroom landed in the lobby hefound
no trace of his better half, and his con-
sternation was i~ndescribable.
By this time a good many people about
the lobby had got wind of the singular
comedy that was being played, and bets
were being offered as to whether the
bridegroom would throw himself into
the Allegheny or call for the police.
Before any such tragic ending to the
drama could take place, however, the
clerk informed the husband where his
wife was, and a reunion of a most affect
ing nature was soon brought about in
the corridor above.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Used to Being Married That Way.

A wedding ceremony occurred some
years z of n then United States sena-
tor, who, a widower twice over, had for
the third time succumbed TO Cupid's
wiles. At his first and second marriage
the ceremony had been performed by an
Episcopal clergyman, and hence the e N
ator was quite familiar with the Episco-
pal marriage form.
But the beautiful woman who had
captured his affections the third time
was a devout Presbyterian, and naturally
wished the connubial knot 10 be tied by
n minister of her own church. and ac-
cording TO its simple service. To this
the statesman lover made no objection.
The character of the service was Of
small account to him so long as it served
to unite him to the object Of his adora-
ton, and the thought hat he might
blunder in the course of it never dis
turbed for n moment the serenity of his
mind.
But, standing beside his bride to be,
stage fright, MS 1t might be called, seized
him. In the excitement he began to
marry himself, rs it were, by the Episco-
pal service. repeating glibly: 81, -,
take thee, -, to be my welded wife,"
and he would probably have gone on to
the end If the astonished Presbyterian
minister, who Immediately appreciated
the situation, had not interposed, and,
in%terrupting the bridegroom, performed
the ceremony with the brevity of the
Presbyterian form.
At the point where the perturbed
groom seemed bent on doing the business
for himself a distinguished brother sem
ator present drew neal to a lady, an
other guest, a close friend of his own
and of the bridal pair, and whispered in
a plying tone;
Poor -. He's used to being mar
ried by the other service. w

Fin de steele in everything, Paris has
discovered that she is the proud possessor
Of the very latest thing in cannibals-a
man who eats his W flesh. A police
man on duty on the Boulevard a day Or
two & was estonished to see an itin-
Grant vender of some commodity or
other deliberately and without apparent
suffering cut off a long strip of the mus
cular part of his left arm with a pair of
scissors. This eccentric individual, who
is only twenty years of age and gees by
the name of Leon, was taken to the po-
lice station, whereit was discovered that
he had in a similar manner removed
large slices of flesh from his thighs and
calves.
SO far as could be CLEANED from the
poor fellows incoherent talk he has for
six months past beer under the influence
of n mad desire to eat the body of a
girl. He related how on many occasions
he had followed little children with an
open knife concealed in his hand, ready
to cut off and devour a portion of their
flesh, and how he had just, and only just,
control enough to prevent him from car
rying ont his desire. His mania, how
ever, remained, and in order to satisfy
it he had ecourse to his own limbs,
which are mutilated shockingly. This
extraordinary case of mental alteration
is being studied carefully by the medical
authorities at the Sainte Anne hospital.

DR.. H. J. Hardwicke, surgeon to the
Sheffield Public Hospital for Skin Dis
eases and the Ear and Throat hospital,
who has studied for twenty years the
treatment of cancer and lupus, believes
that he can now cure both diseases
without resorting to the surgeons knife.
He has been in communication with
Professor Won Moretz and finds that his
system is similar to that recently an
nounced by that gentleman to the Soci-
ETY. of Physicians Mt Vienna.
- DIR. Hardwicke has hitherto for vari-
: GUS reasons refrained from publicly ex-
planning his treatment, but having now
almost brought his method to n state Of
perfection he is anxious and willing to
place the details before such of his med
ical brethren as express to him any de-
sire to be acquainted with them. With
this object in view he will be glad to in
vite such would be inquirers to visit a
selected number of cases now under
treatment and carefully examine them,
and also to examine a number of persons
who have been cured during the past
eighteen years.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Free Delivery of Newspapers.

81 believe in the extension of the free
delivery system" said Mr.. Wanamaker.
Free delivery is like gas or water to a
town. 1t increases its metropolitan
character. 1t adds to its attractions ms
a business and n residence community.
l believe that the introduction of the
free delivery extends the circulation of
newspapers and increases letter writing.
1t is not convenient for a man to go to
the postofhce for his newspaper.
of he could get it delivered at his
door it would be a welcome visitor.
But take a young couple, for example,
living in n small town. The husband is
at work all day. The wife does not care
to go to the postoffice, or perhaps she
cannot go, especially if there is a baby in
the house. That man would like to take
n daily paper perhaps. But he is too
tired to go to the postofice for it every
evening, and so he takes a weekly paper
or no paper at all.
GAS l said, the extension of a free de-
livery system would increase letter writ
ing too. 1t is astonishing to me how
hard it is to convince the people that you
can increase the business of the post
office. Washington Cor. Philadelphia

The engagement of the youthful Comte
de Talleyrand Perigord to Mile. de Ro-
han Chabot, daughter of the Prince and
Princess de Leon, has raised the ques-
ton in aristocratic Paris as to h most
fitting age at which young men and
maidens should enter the holy state of
matrimony. The French aristocracy, it
appears, is divided on the matter.
The Duo de Broglie was tw~enty-four
when he married, the Duc de Fezensac
only twenty-five, but Prince Alphonse
was thirty-seyen and Prince Ludovic
forty-seven when they quilted the ranks
of the bachelors. On the whole, how
ever, it seems that the average age Mt
which the inhabitants of the Faubourg
Saint German marry is twenty-six;
that of the ladies of the same quarter is
not given, probably on the principle that
"a woman on her wedding is exactly the
g she looks."-Pall Mall Gazette.
