Efforts to Raise the Prohibition Against II
In Germany.
BERLIN, Jan. 22.-In the reichstag to-day
Barth, member of the deutsche freisinnige
purity, moved to repeal the prohibition on
American pork md bacon. Secretary Won
Boetticher said that despite the increased
~stringcncy of MEASURES taken in America TO
suppress trade in bad hog products there
still was no guarantee that Germany would
be suf1siently protected from the danger OF
trichinosis. He asserted that seven per
cent Of American hogs were affected with
the disease, a. against six per cent of Ger
mar logs. Schmidt, of the freisinige par
aty, urged the necessity Of supplying the
working people Of Germany with American
meat, which ia considerably cheaper than
German meat. Bramel, also Of the frei-
sinnige party, held that it was un.Chris-
tian-iike to make the peoples necessities OF
life dear in this barbarous manner. Won
Betticher further said English and Ameri-
can people did not eat raw meat, such az
was consumed in Germany.

ONCE UPON A TINE.

When was young and long before
The muse came tappin. az my door,
! used to often sit and think
or things which now I've put in ink.
What curious things used to dream!
How very true they all did seem.
And when came tn bed at night
begged my mother to recite
The Tales OF Once upon Time,
All written down in simple rhyme.
How eagerly listened. and
How far ! went in Fairyisnd.
And these same songs she sang to me
Still murmur In my IN IVORY.
For me she made the world anew
A Jewel Of each drop Of dew:
The autumn leaves of golden tint
Were coins come freshly from the mint:
The birds were poets all who sang;
The flowers were bells the fairies rang;
And everything saw became
Another, with another name.
So. little folk. my verses are
Like be@is from childhood's calendar
For you TO string on Fancy's line.
To be your Joy as they were mine.
Perchance for you they shall repeat
The same old stories, strangely sweet,
Which filled my days and nights with Joy
When I was but little boy;
And You shall start where began.
To learn to be happy man.
! wish you all the Joy had
To make my childhood bright and glad!
