averaging better in quality.

best, t,and opening prices were full stea-
dy with Monday. Soon the market
weakened until it was 10c to 15c lower
The early bulk of sales were at $3.50
to $40, but later large numbers of
good mixed hogs sold at $500 to S5.35.
CHICAGO MARKET.
CHICAGO. ILL, Nov. 22.-The quie-
tude of the cattle trade remained un-

5000 head --and the demand was ditto.
AS oprices they were without percep-
tible variation. They ranged from 81.
25 to s. 25 for natives and from 81 so to
$3.50 for rangers, were steady there.
HoGs-"From 15c to 25c per 100 lbs.
lower" was the way statesmen quoted
the hog market anytime after ten
o'clock. 1t did not open quite SO bad
as that. The early sales did not indi-
cate decline of more than 10a15c, but
the dullness aud weakness became
more and more intense as the day ad-
vanced. AT the close $40 was the
top for light weights, and s. .35 bought
choice heavy, W lille ordinary packing
lots changed hands at S5.I0a$5.15.

Byron and His Young Physician.

1t is of Byron's Polidori that one mas
heard in that model biography biog-
raphy in which the sedulous Moore sidleG
and ambled in accompaniment to his noble
friends dramatic work. 1t is too clear that
Byron took little trouble to disguise the
fact that he found Polidor intolerable. The
young physician had become jealous of
the growing intimacy of his noble patron
with Shelley" and "A plan for leaving him
out of an excursion on the lake OF Geneva,
in which Shelley, Miss Goodwin and Miss
Clairmont were taking part, completed
this modification. In the soreness of his
feelings he INDUCED in some Incorporate
circumstances, which Lord Byron indig-
nantly resented, and the usual bounds OF
courtesy being passed on both sides the
dismissal of Polidori appeared even to him
self inevitable The young Italian rushed
to his room, where he was interrupted
while attempting that fatal act which
two or three Years afterward he actually did
perpetratc."
Byron, to his credit, followed up the doc
tor with reconciliation. Byron permitted
himself to boast to his follower, who in
childish irritation asked him, What, after
all, can you do that I cannotg'' Since
you force me to say" was the solemn reply,
II can swim across that river. ! can snuff

Humorous Views of Legislation.

The woman suffrage women have arrived
at the story telling period, which is of it
self significant as showing that the hurry
burly righteous Indignation period is past.
Their stories are about the absurdities Of
legislators and their deliberations. These
they tell fguratively lying back in their
chairs with thumbs in their vest pockets.
A group Of Massachusetts women set out
to memorabilia the legislature on the sub
ject dearest to their heart. The legislature
replied that it was too occupied with press
ing affairs to give attention to this subject.
The question then before the house was
whether fish should be caught with seine
or with hook. Three days were given for
a discussion of one side and three days for
a discussion of the other side of this ques-
ton. At length. after a weeks debate, the
question came to a decision, and it was re-
solved that fish should be caught with a
seine and with IA hook.
At another time some questions peril
nent to the protection of young girls was
prominent, and the same group of women,
who appear to sleep with one eye open on
the Massachusetts legislature, were ready
to fling themselves upon that body when
the legislature took up the subject of lob
sters. The destruction of the young imma-
ture lobster was argued with as much pa
thos as that of the young seals off Pribylov
islands. At length it was decided that for
the protection of the immature lobster in
its natural rights only Holsters of a certain
length could be legally sold in the state of
Massachusetts, and the legislature ad-
journed. The result of this legislation was
that all the succulent, tender Holsters were
sent to New York, and Massachusetts, ate
what was lefs.-New York Evening Sun

Religious Training of Japanese.

Little or no Importance is attached to the
religious training of japanese children
Whether the parents be Buddhists or Shin
toists it matters not, for in either case the
children rarely take any part in the reli-
gious life of their parents or elders, and in
deed usually grow up in blissful ignorance
as to what it is all about. True, they may
be occasionally taken to the temple and
taught to rub their palms together, clap
thrice and incline their heads toward the
shrine as they toss their offering of rim
through the wooden grating of the huge
money till. They may have some vague
notion that there is something meritorious
in all this, but nothing more although ev-
cry japanese home has latticed niche, or
kamidana, dedicated to the service of the
household Lares and Penates, or Daiko ok u
and Ebisu as they appear in Japan.-Dr. w.

JUST RECOGNITION.

The general superintendent of the
railway mail service, who has been con
nected with it almost since its OrganiZa
ton, makes some recommendations in
his annual report which, although not
new, deserve the serious attention of
congress One of these is that some pro
vision be made for the families of postal
clerks killed in railway accidents. The
work of these faithful servants of the
government is more periious than that
of any other class of government EN-.
ployes. According to the last report of
ceeding four years thirty-two were killed
in accidents, 264 seriously injured and
269 slightly injured, total Of $50 casual
ties. This shows the perilous character
of the service, and it would seem to be
only just that great and wealthy gov
ernment should make reasonable proVis-
ion for the families of these public ser
wants who meet death at the post of duty.
Another recommendation is that the
salaries of postal clerks be increased.
The work of this service is arduous and
requires more than ordinary intelligence
and the closest application. 1t ought to
be we'll paid for, and the salaries are not
now as liberal as they should be. The
efficiency of the railway mail service was
very much improved under the last ad-
by generous policy for the
encourage ement Of care and fidelity in the
work. Nothing would so surely pro-
mote these conditions as salaries that
would be just return for the labor per-
formed.
