She was years old and preoocious.
The family were at dinner, and the
mother dished out some stewed rhubarb
and gave il to her. She looked at it and
pushed 1t away, but was finally induced
to eat it by the assurance Of the mother
that it was splendid and would
ttclean her blood. A few hours after
ward the child, while playing, fell and
hit her nose against chair leg, causing
q decided flow of blood. Between her
sobs she gasped out, Mamma, you said
the rhubarb would clean my blood, but
it didn't, for it's just as red as ever. =

ROYALTY AND POLITICS.


Some Features OF the Coburg wedding with
More Than a Personal significance.
The personal affairs of sovereigns and
princes continue to engross large share
of Europe's attention. The Coburg we'd
ding was the elimination of carefully
arranged series OF festivities i'm which
representatives of nearly all the royal
families Of Europe took part. Perhaps
It is more correct to say that the news
which the German emperor disclosed
with unconcealed delight after the Co
burg ceremony was the real climax of
recent personal and political events in
royal circles.
The betrothal of the czarowitz and
Princess Alix of Hesse is undoubtedly an
event OF the first importance in the de-
velopment of the European political sit
uation. It comprises another triple alli-
ance between England, Germany and
Russia, which may prove only less strong
than political bonds ratified by treaty.
The news is received with chagrin and
disappointment only in France.
One feature of the Coburg wedding at
tracts political attention the
absence of Prince Ferdinand. This is all
the more marked because the prince was
in German territory at the time. The
fact indicates that the czar is still inn
placable, and that he refuses to recognize
the present status of Bulgaria, and de-
clined to allow his relatives to attend the
ceremony in company with the usurper.

Blashek was confined, with the Amer
ican flag flying and their pockets full Of
cobblestones. and demanded Blasek's
release. sheriff Gay eldeayored 10 par
ley, but without avail, and the mob
moved ON the Jail At this point the
fre department appeared, armed with
axes, and laid . line Of hose ready to
play on the crowd. The militia were
notified and were in readiness near the
scene. Finally the matter was tempor.
arily compromised by the release OF
Blashek ON $500 bail, on charge Of in
citing riot. The assembled mob
greeted their victory with cheers and
howls. More trouble is feared for. q

A FOOLISH CONTEST.

The republicans in congress have notl-
those candidates who were defeated for
seat in that body, and who are desirous
of contesting the election of their oppon-
ents, that they must rely upon the just
ness of their individual causes, and not
upon the overwhelming republican
majority This is perfectly right and
proper. 1t is pity that Mr.. Estee, the
late republican candidate for governor OF
California, did not gauge his conduct by
that same rule. Had he done so he
would not have inaugurated a contest
with his successful opponent. Mr.. Estee
may get the office, but if he does it will
be because he has the might instead OF
the right on his side. The election went
overwhelmingly republican throughout
the state, with the exception OF Mr..
Estee, and that he was not carried along
with the tide was his own fault. A gen.
eral suspicion that Mr.. Estee was en-
tirely too friendly to the Southern Pa
cific was what left Mr.. Estee in the
shade; that it was and not fraud as he
would now have the public believe.

cOMPARATIYE PRICES OF AM
MAILS USED FOR FOOD.

A study of prices in great Market is
interesting and useful to producer and
consumer. Present market quotations
for cattle, hogs and sheep at the Union
Stock yards, Chicago, suggest some use
full lessons as well as some things hard
to satisfactorily explain.
The variation in prices for cattle shows
a wonderful difference, owing to quality.
The highest price in the report at hand
is 40. Few sell at this price, or even
at any price, within q dollar OF this. a
considerable number, however, sell at
from $3.50 to So. A much larger num-
her. not counting inferior stock, sell at
from Sc. .25 to $4. One fact will never be
satisfactorily explained to feeders, and
that is why good COWS and heifers should
sell at much lower prices than do steers
of similar quality. At present $500 IS
a high price for ccw or heller OF
really good quality. Calves sell at lower
prices than good fat cattle. Many in
ferior cattle are being forwarded now,
some selling as low as 81 per 100 pounds.
The quotations of prices for "canners'
do not inspire one with great desire to
eat canned beef.
The variation in prices for hogs is
much less than that for cattle. Exclud-
ing culls, the greatest difference in price
in report at hand is 20 cents per 100
pounds. At present choice heavy hogs
outsell the best light. Pigs and very
light hogs sell at relatively low prices,
partly because of excessive supplies OF
these classes.
Mutton ought to be the cheapest meat
forconsumers. The highest price quoted
for sheep is 1925 per 100 pounds, and
the great mass of the sheep forwarded
sell at considerably less than So. Lambs
reach a somewhat higher price-up to s.
per 100 pounds in extreme cases. Al
this season the pelt with its fairly grown
wool is an important factor. Receipts
have been unusually large. These low
prices should stimulate the demand fol
