The absurdity of the German laws
against the importation of American
pork was shown in a recent issue of the
All0emeine Reichs Correspondent. The
paper, after relating the vain attempts of
the merchants of Berlin to induce the
Government to withdraw the prohibition
against the American meat, declares that
the law is constantly evaded. American
meat is sent to Holland aud Denmark
packed in ice. In those countries the
meat is smoked and forwarded to Ger
many as "Dutchn or ''Danish" meat.
Recently more than 20, 600 packages OF
such American Dutch meats were offered
for sale in the markets of the German
capital. The Journal quoted above de-
clares that the Americans have offered to
sell meats in the Berlin markets at forty
three to forty-fve pfennigs, or ten to
eleven cents a pound. At present, adds
the New York Tribune, German meat is
much dearer than that.

Over 80, 900 head of neat cattle and
5000 horses and mules died of starva-
tion and pestilence last year on the lower
Amazon, above the delta. The annual
floods were higher than usual, and the
small farmers owning the animals could
not afford to hire tugboats and barges
to transport them from the narrow
ridges between the numerous channels of
the river, on which the stock was so un-
expectedly imprisoned, to the upland
ten miles or more back from the valley
proper,

THE first month of the second year of the appropriations of the billion con gress has just ended. The expenditures in July exceeded the income of the government by $5 1906. A year ago the expenditures for the corresponding month exceeded the receipts only S749, 739, and more money was paid out for pensions in July, 1890, than in July 1891. The increased expenditures were made for "civil and miscellaneous" pur- poses, authorized by the late congress. The customs receipts in July, 1891, were S9, ,495, ,233 smaller than they were in the month of July year ago. Secre- tary Fosters monthly statement, which has been so adroitly reconstructed as to avoid showing plainly as the statement formerly did, the increase or decrease ot the debt, ought to show. that there has been net increase during the month of nearly $6,000,000. It makes out a net cash balance of about $55, 800, ,000 and available assets of about $156, ,000,- 900. If the $1OO,OOO,O ,OOO gold reserve is deducted also the subsidiary coin and also the deposits in the national banks that cannot with safety be taken now
 the available cash is $10,000,000. Thai is about all that MT Foster is at liberty to use to meet demands upon him.

IT IS stated that one of the best Greek scholars in New York is a guard on the Sixth avenue elevated road. Not long ago famous professor in one of our leading universities published volumn on certain features of the ancient Grecian dialects, of interest to scholars. The L. guard referred to above wrote to New York newspaper pointing out several errors made by the professor. He signed himself 'Sixth Avenue Ele- vated Guard" When he was asked afterwards why he, Greek scholar of the first rank, should be doing such work as this he answered sadly, II was the best Hellenist of my year at Dublin. My Greek is still what it used to be, but my career has been ruined by -rum.'

 The Baldwins have the distinction of possessing the most bizarre cottage at Newport It is a curious conglomcra- tion of stone, brick, wood, hay and stub bic, otherwise mating, piazza portieres, the whole intensified and cmbellished by scarlet awnings. Everybody draws a long breath when this mass of in- artistic rubbish comes in sight and asks: ''What is it?"
 The Van Allen cottage is very good specimen of the extraordinary freaks which architecture takes at the sea- shore. It was at this cottage that Lillian Russell came to sing last season. A high stone wall has now been built around it to shut away it's sacred
 beauties from the eyes of the vulgar. Newport driving is all done up on week days, Nobody drives on Sunday. l To do this would mean social ostra- | cism. Not that it is wicked. Oh no! only not the correct thing. On Sunday ! afternoons all the world, the fashiona- | ble world, may be met on the Cliff walk, which runs for four miles along l the high cliffs against which the surf pounds ceaselessly. The Vanderbilt
 arch, built by MT. Fred Vanderbilt, is one of the features of this beautiful path.
 l Newport is nothing if not respccta- ble. This famous resort Is polished be- yond description. Those in the whirl here live in the same glare of publicity

over the luxuriantly shaded streets of the old town and the cool, salt breeze goes stealing through the thick, dusky foliage about its beautiful homes, then does one realize what a gem is set by nature and polished by art on this rock bound shore.
 It is not until eleven o'clock that fashionable Newport wal1ens. Before that hour the streets are given over to the ordinary population of country sown - tradcspeople, business men, farmers rattling along in their wagons laden with supplies. But about eleven everything changes. In place of the heavy wagons jolting along the narrow streets, suddenly smart drags, coaches, bucl1boards and dogcarts appear as by magic. Well-groomed athletic men iD fannels are seen lOunging about the Casino entrance. Here, too, appear the youth with his tennis racquet and the swell with his monocle. Carriages roll up, and from them step bewildering visions in airy, futtering summer raj ment. Women in gossamer robes of palcst hue smile on the waiting cava- Hers and give them the genuine New port greeting, consisting of an An. how d'yaw daw?" and the pump handle shake. Entrancing strains of music and siIvery laughter float out from the Casino. From a beautiful and hum drum country town, Newport is Sudden ly transformed into brilliant water ing place.
 Newport is no longer a hotel resort. The people who used to stop at the ho- tels now have their cottages and live in a world all their own, and the frequent CTS of summer resorts can see no fun | in coming here to watch the Four Hun dred drive around and realize with the fullest significance of the phrase that they are not in it. Far more difficult to swing open than the gates of the New | Jerusalem are the social portals of Newport. It requires more than money, 1 and yet influence and social standing cannot always effectually force an en- trance if money be lacking. Here are illustrations of both truths: MT. and Mrs Brooks of New York, though pos sessing enormous wealth and by all odds the most beautiful place in New port, have not as yet penetrated the charmed circle. On the other hand, the niece of the social autocrat, Ward Me
 Allister, has been snubbed by some ot

 The new store in Meigs' block has been nicely fitted and furnished, making it the most elegant Fine Tailoring parlors in New England, and will be used exclusive as Custom Department.
 The front store has been extensively i'm proved and will be occupied as Mems Furnishing Department, making two dis tinct departments and making each de- pertinent attractive and rOomy.
 The Mems Furnishing department is now overhowing with all the novelties of the season. The goods are Fresh, New, De sirable and Cheap, and as an especial in ducement for those who desire Fancy Shirt for spring l am offering Cluett & Coon's Crown Monarch Shirts which have always been sold for 1.50 at 95cents.

the smartest Newport girls. Miss Me Allister is pretty, well-bred and stylish. but she has no money. Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish gave luncheon for her and she was so snubbed and ignored by the young ladies present that the hostess was furious.
 So it's not q question either of money or social backing. What is it that makes one succeed at Newport? Possi- bly, there is no one more qualified to an swer than this fine looking woman, driving alone in one of the most ire proachable turnouts in all Newport. Her hair is gray, her skin sun-l1issed. She wears an exquisite costume of fawn with white trimmings and bonnet of soft pink roses. This woman of per feet breeding, whose bow Is declared intoxicating, who receives with the manners of duchess, whose tact is prOverbial, who never harshly criticises or listens to criticism, who studies and entertains, who is manipulating the Four Hundred like dough, who is push ing her husband toward the white house or the court of St. James, is Mrs. Whitney, wife of the ex-secretary of the navy. It is said that the Wander bilt ladies are crowding the Astor ladies closely. Mrs. Whitney will distance the whole crowd unless something breaks. Apropos of the Vanderbilts and As tors, everyone knows of the ambition of Mrs. w. II. Vanderbilt. Where the | Astors grow this lady longs to be, and right straight between the Astor cot tages she has plunked down a huge marble palace or temple or sarcOphagus.
 Every body goes to look at this stupen- dous pile whose lofty head, clear cut against the turquoise sky, looms up from the surrounding foliage with a truly Pantheon or Coliseum effect. Around the Vanderbilt estate or burial lot, as you lille, is built a marble wall, topped off with objects that look like funeral urns, surmounted by pineapple cheeses-a truly rich and chaste design.
 There is nothing I so love as build ing," Mrs. Vanderbilt is reported as saying. Next to building I love fur
 nishing, and least of all living in the place when it's finished" The only
 idea which this marble edif1ce suggests l is the Vanderbilt millions.

THERE are some queer things ill the world. For instance the standard oil monopoly will reap more benefit than any other one concern in this country from the reciprocity agreement respect, ing Cuba and Porto Rico, which is to go into effect September 1. Perhaps the negotiator of this agreement didn't think of that when he was negotiating with the Spanish government; but then again, perhaps he did, and if he did, he probably also thought about the presi- dential election and the big check that the standard oil folks might be induced to contribute to the campaign fund of the republican party.

MIsTREssEs AND SERVANTS.

The Former Are Too Apt to Make Slaves
 of the Latter.
 The truth is that mistresses, as rule, have not yet accepted g. condition to which men in command of others have long since bowed-that pleasure and personal liberty in moderation must be accorded when the days work is done. Servants are mostly young women in the prime of life, with all the instincts full upon them, and it is cruel to ignore their social needs. Their followers and visitors are not welcome to those in au thority, and therefore less objection should be raised to their occasional efforts to obtain the companionship of their own class outside the house when their work is done. l fear we must own to another fault in dealing with our servants; women scold and nag in way which is unknown to men who are really fit to rule. They listen to the gossip of other servants, and almost lie in wait for the suspected delinquent. A wise master knows the value of sometimes shutting his eyes, and will certainly let good employc have time to recover himself before he attempts any approximation. The ordinary mistress unfortunately summons the servant before she has controlled her own temper, and the result is disas- trous to both. If once "a hostile | attitude" describes the relation be- tween the drawing room and the kitchen a state of constant friction must ensue. do not ignore the trials experienced by the mistresses of un- | trained servants; too often a succession of wasteful, ignorant girls pass, like phantasmagoria, across the threshold, leaving, however, a very convincing proof of their reality in the wreck of kitchen utensils, china and other household treasures. Where large es- establishments are kept young servants are carefully taught their seperate duties but it is deplorable fact that girls who have passed the fifth school board standard are often incapable of ! lighting a fire or of washing a wine glass without breaking it. They can read the penny dreadful" but they cannot darn their stockings or mend their clothes. The want of technical training is the disadvantage which has threatened to make servants a failure, but our board schools are now waking up to their respon abilities; they have begun to include needlework and cook ing in their list of subjects, and I hope they will shortly add laundry and housework.-Emily Faithful, in North American Review.

 Grandpa was fine-looking young fel- low then, so the old ladies say, and he is a fine-looking old gentleman now. For the past score of years he has been a firm believer in the merits of Dr Pierces Golden Medical Discovery. "It renewed my youth," he frequently says. It is the only blood purifier and liver invigorator guaranteed to benefit or to cure, or money promptly refunded. It cures liver disease, dyspepsia, ,scrofulous sores, skin eruptions, and all diseases of the blood.

No relaxation, no laying off, no slough ing around in loose, easy, comfortable fashion, hobnobbing with nature and chumming with earth and sea. One wonders If the smart girl in yellow crape gown, yellow hut and parasol on top of the dray yonder, doesn't ever weary of the endless dressing, going, dancing and eating, and long to get away somewhere to rest, anywhere put of the world,' or if the man with the impassive face and tired, blase eyes behind that matchless four-in-hand, wouldn't like to don bagging trous- ers, flannel shirt and rugged shoot ing-jacket, pack up a pipe and a gun and take to woods?
