w TITH appetites sharp as the swords
NM ofSpain,
w And pie-crust as long as the coast
of Maine,
No wonder you're seized with an inward
pain,
And made cross and grabbed.
But when you do shorten the pastry with
lard,
You render digestion remarkably hard;
We beg of the cooks of the land to discard
This dangerous habit.
It ruins digestion. The experts insist it
Should never be used in pie-crust or
biscuit,
And never in cooking at all should you
risk it.
But people must,
1t seems,
Have crust
To make pie;
And think it hard to Danish lard
With which to fry.
Now "CorToLENE" is pure and clean,
And will supply
The place of lard in this regard.
Suppose you try
Croquettes, and see
How delicate and crisp they'll be.
Physicians, chemists, cooks, all say,
BY using "CoTToLENE" you may
Prepare your food in such way,
That children and dyspeptics too
Can eat what other people do.
Its color is quite golden looking,
No odor rises from its cooking;
1t will at once enlist your favor,
When you have tried its matchless flavor.
Your health and wealth you will enhance
BY giving ssCoTToLENE" chance.

THE ENGLISH CANVASS.

The dates for the English elections are stli
undetermined. but at the present rate OF prog
ress in supply Parliament will probably be
dissolved before the end of the next week. In
that event the elections will begin on the last
Saturday Of this month Delay in winding up
the business Of the session may defer the eiec-
tons another week. The canvass has virtually
begun. Mr.. Chamberlain having taken the held
in Birmingham as the new leader OF the Tory
Democracy without apparently having consult
ed with Lord Randolph Churchill. The Lib
erals are awaiting with eagerncss Mr.. Glad
stones opening speeches in Midlothian, but are
counting so confidently upon success that they
are already making up Cabinet with num-
Der of new Radical recruits. The canvass VIII
be short one, but very active one wh'ie IL
lasts. The Liberals are thought to have SUI
perior organization, and are generally conceded
TO have the better chance of winning. Prcce-
dents favor their return to power, but the
English democracy keeps its own secrets until
election. and the result will remain an in
scrutable mystery until the balloting begins.
Mr.. Balfour il to present the Conservative
electoral programme in one OF the earliest
speeches of the canvass AS far as Ireland Is
concerned, the Local Government bill will be
the only legislative project proposed by the
Unionists. That apparently marks the limit TO
which concession can be carried by the party
now in power. Otherwise the UniOnists will
content themselves with challenging Mr.. Glad
stone to produce his amended Iiome-Rule BILL
and with alarming the electors with the menace
of civil war in Ulster as the sequel to the grant
ing OF an Irish Parliament. What effect their
appeal to religious prejudice will cause among
the English Nonconformists cannot now be fore
cast. Mr.. Gladstone's popularity with this
large section of English population has always
been very great, and he will undoubtedly strive
to retain it by presenting the question OF Home
Rule in its broadcast aspect as an act of ma
tional justice and supreme morality. Mean
while the Ulster Protcstants are doing every
thing in their power to impart reality and sig
nifcance to Lord Salsburys insidious appeal
10 religious intolerance.

THE LATEST NEWS or EMIN.

On what authority the Berlin "Tageblatt,"
rs reported on Thursday, confirms the recent
minors of Emn Pacha's death is not apparent ;
and until it is made known and is seen to be
indubitable thoughtful people will not regard
the confirmation as conclusive. No news is
more subject to suspicion than that from Cen
trail Africa, and none of it has been found more
untrustworthy than that relating to Emins
latest cxpedition. Within the last twelve
months we have had many circumstantial re-
ports of his triumphant return to Wadclai ana
rc-cstablishmont of his rule there, in mono OF
which was there a word of truth. 1t was also
said that he was marching down the Congo
to the West Coast, story with only the slight
ess foundation. And more recently there have
been rumors that smallpox had left him blind +;
that he was blind from incurable gray cataract,
which Is never in itself incurable; that he had
died from famine and fever; that he had died
from smallpox, and that he was quite well and
was returning to Zanzibar with a million dol
lars worth of ivory. Concerning these veracous
chronicles "you reads your stories and you
takes your choice"
Some facts are, however known beyond dis
pute Dr. Stuhlmann, who was Emin's com
rade on this expedition, gives a succinct and
Trustworthy report of his progress in Peter
manns Mitthelungen' for the present month.
lie tells us that Emins primary intention was
merely to explore, for geographical and other
scientific purposes, the bOrderlands OF the Brit
ish and German spheres of influence" lying
lust south of the Equator, and especially to
determine the exact position OF the southern
end of Lake Albert Edward. Leaving Kahura
accordingly. on March %, 1891, he marched
through unknown regions to the southern shore
of that lake. Hearing that some OF his old
Wadelai people had settled at the northern
end of the lake, he set out thither on May 10
On the way various lofty mountains were ex
plored, DIR. Stuhlmann ascending one to the
height of 1900 feet The Wadelai people
were found, not on the Albert Edward, but at
Kavallrs, on Lake Albert, and many of them
Joined the expedition, glad to follow their old
Governor.
From Kavalli's the explorers went little
further north on the Ituri River, the utmost
point attained being in degrees 10 minutes
north latitude. Then Emin wished to go for
some distance westward, into the great for
ests, but was deferred from doing SO by lack
of provisions and the impossbility OF securing
workmen in country desolatcd by slnve-rai
ors. On September 80, therefore they began
the backward march, almost exactly retracing
their steps. Famine and disease afflicted them,
and Emin himself became ill and ncarly-not
entirely-blind. Finally it was found neces-
sary, on account of an outbreak of smallpox, to
divide the expedition, and on December 10
DIR. Stuhmann pushed forward with those who
were able to travel. leaving Emin and the
