TT is an unique ballot law, the new
one under which the people of Belgi-
um lately voted for the first time.
Voting is compulsory, and voters are
divided into three classes. 1t made
many of the citizens very angry when
they found they had to vote whether
they wanted to or not. The lowest
class of the three voters, those who
have only one vote apiece, consists of
all men twenty-five years old and
over who have lived in one election
district year or more. The second
class is composed of persons who
have two votes apiece, and to this be-
long married men who pay personal
taxes to the amount of one dollar.
The third class of voters have three
ballots each. To this class belong the
educated people and large property
owners. All the priests in Belgium
come under the head of the third
class, and there are ten thousand OF
them. Consequently the priests Of
Belgium muster voting force Of
thity thousand. At the late election
the Clerical party made large gains
Naturally it would do so. Somehow
this law has a queer look to the in
dependent American voter.

Collection Of Items From Here and
There Throughout the state.
COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 4.--As the result
of the conference between State Food
Commissioner F. B. McNcal and his
Cincinnati assistant. Mr.. Luebbing,
here, Commissioner McNeal has issued
an order 10 all the subordinates Of the
department to push all cases of prosecu-
tion for violation Of the pure food laws
to finish in the courts.
II have never sanctioned the COM
promising Of cases out of court" said
DR.. McNeal, "on the contrary, / have
directed that no money should be re-
ceived except what was receipted on
the magistrates docket, but l did in
struct my employees to allow the dis
missal Of cases where there were miti-
eating circumstances, or where the de-
fendent would assist in bringing other
violators to justice. Such case was
the Cincinnati compromise.
"There is only one course for US to
pursue and that is to pursue the prose-
cution Of all cases and enforce the full
penalty Of the law.
II see that is the only way to keep
the department clear of suspicion. Mr..
Luebbing made clear statement to me
and am satisfied that he meant no
wrong. In fact he was acting according
to my suggestion.
"All the money collected by Lueb-
bing in the Meyer case was paid to me
before there was any question raised
about the case, so there could have been
no personal gain to him or any one else
by doing what he did,"

Medicinal Qualities of the Apple.

The apple is such common fruit
that very few person are familiar
with it's remarkably efficacious, medi-
dicinal properties. Everybody ought
to know that the very best thing
they can do is to eat apples just be-
fore retiring for the night. Persons
uniniatiated in the mysteries of the
fruit are liable to throw up their
hands in horror at the visions of
dyspepsia which such a suggestion
may summon up, but no harm can
come to even a delicate system by
eating of ripe and juicy apples just
before going to bed. The apple is an
excellent brain food, because it has
more phosphoric acid in easily digest
ible shape than any other vegetable
known. Itexcites the action Of the
liver, promotes sound and healthy
sleep, and thoroughly disinfects the
mouth. This is not all. The apple
agglutinates the surplus acids of the
stomach, helps the kidney secretions
and prevents calculous growth,
while it obviates indigestion and is
one of the best preventives known of
disease of the throat.

ChIncse PaunhrnIl.rs.

Amcng tho Canton houses there ara
occasional exceptions to the general one
storied or low constructions. Some of
these are built like square towers four
or five stories high, with no outside
windows sayo at a considerable distance
above tho ground and no outside pro-
jections by which thieves might climb
up. These establishments are called
pawnshops, but they appeared to me
more to resemble our banks where we
place deeds and other valuables for safe
ty. / understand it is usual among the
Chinese to deposit their possessions Of
value, when not in use, in these estab-
lishments. The people also store there
during summer their winter clothing,
and loans may be obtained against the
goods stored To have dealings with a
pawnshop is in no way considered de-
rogatory to Chinese gentleman's dig

SUPPOSE we concede that it was
wise to sell the Hooking Canal. 1t
should have been sold at it's actual
value. Every railroad manager in
Ohio knows that this canal, which
was sold, or rather given away, for
the ridiculously small sum of 800, 900,
of which $4,000 is not payable for
years to come, with its franchises and
valuable real estate, was worth at a
low estimate, $1,5OO,OO0. Any real
estate dealer could have disposed Of
it for that sum or more. The late
Legislature deliberately robbed the
taxpayers of Ohio of at least 81, AGO.
900 in this one transaction. 1t expects
to be reelected next year, and if it is,
or another one like 1t Is elected, $1O,-
900, 900 or $15, 900, 900 more of the Pub
lie Works will be given away for five
or ten per cent. of their real value.
The tocsin of alarm cannot be sound
ed too soon by the press. The people
must rally to the polls next year
and change the State Government
and Legislature. e.-Columbus Call.

The Columbian Half Dollars.

The Columbus souvenir half dollars
are not medals or tokens" but good
money, and are legal tender to the
amount Of $40 in any one payment.
There is large demand for them. The
coinage was as follows: In 1892, $780,
900 pieces, value $475, 900; in 1898,
4,052, 105 pieces, value 50, 0S6, 052. So;
total, 5,002, 105 pieces, value so, 5O1, :
O52. go The coins now being issued by
the treasury are of the 1898 coinage.
The Columbian Cor Isabella) quarter
dollars coined under the law Of March
8, 1899, are likewise legal tender and
redeemable There were coined only
30, 023 pieces, value $40, ,005. rs. These
were all issued to the board Of lady
managers and by them disposed of. The
1899 Columbian coins, being fewer in
number, are more valuable as pocket
pieces Or to collectors than the 1898
coins. The former have all been dispos-
ed of.--Chicago Herald.
