Janancse Children.

A Japanese child three years old can
swim like a fish; and often children who
will not learn of their own accord are re
peatedly thrown overheard until they be-
come expert swimmers. In the harbor
children seem TO be perpetually tumbling
overheard. but the mothers deliberately
pick them out of the water, and, cutting
them a little, go on with their work. 1t is
really astonishing ut what age these boys
and girls will learn TO scull n boat. a
boat twenty feet long most adroitly man
aged by three children, all under seven
years of age, is no uncommon sight
Notwithstanding their aptneSs mt swim
ming, many boatmen get drowned, for no
boat goes TO another's aid, nor will any
boatman save another from drowning, be-
cause, as he says, it is all fate, and he who
interferes with fate will be severely pun
ished in some way.-London Tit-Bits.

IN another column we reproduce from the New York Sun an article in regard to the iniquitous Paddock ''pure toOd' bill, which has passed the senate and is now pending in the. house of representatives. It is a hurtful piece of legislation-a blow aimed directly at one of the important industries of the South, and was introduced in the in- terests of the pork-packing monopolies in order to enable them to control the lard product of the country. Cot tonseed oil enters largely into the do- mestic economy of the country, is purer and more wholesome than the com pounds usually sent out from the pack ing establishments under the name of lard, and is cheaper. It is exclusively Southern product and, therefore, a legitimate article of attack from the packers of the North and the men in congress who are controlled by their money. We hope the Arkansas dele- gation will be unit in opposition to it. So far as this section is concerned, a more unfriendly piece of legislation has never been introduced in congress. It is the duty of the democratic house to defeat it.

AFood Bill-,sut a Fraud Bn,7


 The Paddock pure food bill was passed by the senate on Wednesday without a divison. The objections to last congress, and they have not been have been made. Probably some of the senators who have been content that it should go to the house have satisfied their cOnsciences with the ex- cuSe that it is bill of such vicious and dangerous paternalism as a democratic house cannot approve. Mfr. Vest, Mir. senators objected tO the bill with iii- senate as fit had been a reiternti0n of the alphabet. Yet it opens tho way for most offensive and unnecessary in- citizens, attending to their own busi- ness in their own states; and it cOnfers upon the department of agriculture extraordinary powers. It intrusts to 6 changing body of experts or inexperts, chemical division of Mir.

Refuse and 1t costs you from to $l0 to &1OO, and Imprisonment for from thirty to one hundred days. It is upon this measure that the Hon. Alger Sidney Paddock of Nebraska fOunds his reputation as a statesman. Who asks for the supervision proposed by this billY What is its real object! Why are the states not able to take care of the food and the drugs that are manufactured or sold within their limits? We need not dwell upon the opportunities which the bill offers Oi annoying and blackmailing manufactur- CTS of drugs and articles of food. But what is the colored citizen in the wood. pilep Have the petitions which have been presented in favor of this partic- ularly putr1d measure come from q common source and been inspired by . business interest, which were behind the COnger ''pure" food billY We have not heard that the citizens of the United States are complaining about the quality of their food or their drugs Are 2 few hogs in the West squealine about cOttOnseed oil?
