Juggling for Wanamaker.

There is a grea t rush of editorial
blood to the head over the Wanna
maker viilainy. The effort to con-
struct something like a plausible de-
fence for hat pious fraud, the Post
master-General, has led to some
strange alterations of the argumenta-
tive faculty. Here is a specimen, for
instance, from the Fredonian, which
proves that the intelligent editor has
not read any of the reports of Mr..
Wanamaker's testimony, or else
proves that being unable to acquit
Mr.. Wanamaker out of his own mouth,
the editor determined to ignore his
utterances altogether

pussy,s Lovers Marry Early.


Not a few persons believe the cat TO
be weatherwise, and that they can de-
termine by its department if the NOR
row will be fair or stormy. For the
cat to wash itself indicates good
weather, except when it lick its coat
against the grain or washes its face
oyer the ear, when stormy weather is
sure to follow. For the cat to sit with
its tail toward the fire also indicates
an approaching storm. In Germany,
when it rains on washing day, it is
said to be because the washerwomen
have not treated the cat well. and in
Holland the bride who neglects to
feed the cat will have rainy skies On
her wedding day. There is also a sup
erstition that one who has made an
enemy of cats will be buried during a
storm In love-naking, too. as might
be expected. superstition credits cats
with the possession of potent infiu-
ences. In the valleys of the Tyrol
girls who are fond of cats are said to
marry early, while those girls who do
not treat cats we'll and love them
marry late in life in life and unhappi-

There is a great deal of humbug'
talked and written by persons totally
ignorant of the nourishing properties
of different foods and of the substance
necessary for the body. There is a
general notion, even among otherwise
well-informed persons that ''spiced
food is unwholesome,n and that il is
made to satisfy the craving OF a NOR
bid appetite. Spices, on the contrary,
are a valuable aid to the digestion of
meats, buildings and other dishes in
which they are employed. A we'll
spiced fruit cake is more
wholesome than n cheap cup
cake, redolent of the perfumes of
baking powder or soda. Proper
ly spiced beef-a-la mode is more
wholesome than a plain pot roast
cooked with potatoes. A healthy
taste is the very best criterion to
Judge food by, and food which is ac-
ceptable to the taste is generally most
wholesome. The prejudice against
rich spiced food is a purely vulgar
one. Mustard is a condiment too
often looked upon with apprehension
by persons who are afflicted with in
digestion, yet it is one of the most
powerful aids to digestion; for this
reason q teaspoonful is added TO a pot
of baked beans when they are boiled,
and it may be properly used in this
small quantity in many dishes that
are difficult of digestion. A we'll

ton, who, from the moment that a
bride enters the house, institutes a
system of persecution which soon
drives the unhappy woman to ask
her husband for a divorce. The hus-
band is helpless to restrain h
vagaries of his sister. and cannot turn
her out, so the wretched business goes
on year after year. The native
chronicler adds a circumstance which

Commenting upon this story the
Japan Mall says that, whether accu-
rate or not. it illustrates the differ
ence between Japanese and English
fashions in respect of marriage.
Among the lower orders in japan sem
timent is seldom allowed to play an
influential part in the arrangements
preliminary to matrimony. The
higher the social scale the more atten-
ton is paid to the fancies OF the man,
and OF late those of the women also
are beginning to be regarded. But
the principle underlying the whole
marital relation in Japan seems to be
that the affection which really sur
wives the passage of years and makes
married life happy is not the love
which precedes union, but the respect,
esteem and Of mutual helpful
ness that grows up after it. In short,
marriage in Japan is a preliminary
experiment, whereas in the West it is
a final contract.-BaAimore Amerf-
