JAPANESE RAW FISH EATERS.
Epleures In the Mikado's Kingdom
Prefer Their second Course AT
Dinner Alive.
From the New York world.


A favorite dish among the epicures
of Japan is composed of raw fish
eaten alive. The dish is pgsaaarsd
eFsss,1 very common sea weed in
Japan. is laid the fish, which ia then
carefully carved into pieces. This
carving is a delicate operation, for
the carver must not injure the heart,
liver, stomach or gills of the fish.
The vital parts being intact and the
fish laid upon the cool, damp sea-
weed, it will live until the terminal
ton OF the meal. As the guests re-
quire them, slices are transferred
from the body of the unfortunate
fish, which thus can see portions Of
itself disappearing down the throats
Of the diners. A guest oil Japanese
said he could not eat his slice of fish
while the former owner of the morsel
was regarding him with seemingly
reproaohful eyes, and commented
upon the cruelty of the custom. His
host replied that it was no worse
than eating an oyster alive, and did
not approach in barbarity the prac-
tiee of broiling live Holsters. This
is only met with in the houses Of the
rich. When tho slices of fish are
dipped in sop Europeans say that
they are very palatable.

Largest Family.

In the Harlem Manuscript, Nos.
$50 and rs, in the library of the
British Museum, mention is made Of
the most extraordinary family thai
has aver been known in the worlds
history. The parties were a Scotch
weaver and his wife (not wives) who
were the father and mother of 81
children.
The majority of the offsprings oil
this prolific pair were boys (exactly
how many of each sex is not known),
for the record mentions that As oil
the male children lived to reach
manhood's estate, and only four oil
the daughters lived to be grown-up
women. Thirty nine of the sons
were still living in the year 1880, the
majority of them then residing in
and about Newcastle ION TYNE. II is
recorded in one of the old histories
OF Newcastle that s'a certyne gen.
tleman of large estaytes" rode
thirty and three miles beyond the
Tyne to prove this wonderful story
1t is further related that Sir J.
Bowers adopted 10 of the sons, and
that three others'landed gentlemen
took 10 each. The remaining men,
bers of this extraordinary family
were brought up by the parents.

NOT A SUFFRAGIsT.
= 4@HenYdf Uy MIS-. JeffersO
Davis Regarding Her Daughter.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 31.-Mrs.
JEFF Davis, ia a letter written to a
friend here. Indignantly denies the
report that her daughter, Miss Win
ME, is a woman suffragist, and has
said that she would vote the Repub-
lican ticket If she had a vote at all.
In speaking Of this rumor Mrs.
Davis says:
SIT is false in every particular.
Miss Davis is not in favor of woman
suffrage. She thinks it would be a
misfortune to our sex if it were con-
ferred, and a right which it would
seldom be in their power to exercise,
at least in the cities. The idea of
her saying that she would vote the
Republican ticket is too monstrous
for it to impress the majority of our
people as the truth. Yet we are
mortified that the allegation should
have been made"

Historians Differ.

fIOh harper > 1OuuS IeOpiS-
DEAR Nh. EDIToR-Day before
yesterday the teacher says to Sam
my: Sammy, who discovered
American" Sammy thought a min
ute, and then says, Historians diff
fer"
| never knew till l begun to go to
school with Sammy how much the
folks that made books had different
ideas. Always when Sammy gets
stuck on a question he says the
'thorities differ, and SO be can't tell.
If it's grammar, he says the gram.
marans differ, and if it's spelling,
that the Dictionaries differ, and if
it's geogerfy, that the geogerfers
differ. And most always the teacher
kind of says Yes, or Mebby, or
agrees somehow, and Sammy slides
along. Only in 'rithmetic gener'Iy
he gets left.
"How many is seven times eight"
says the teacher.
Sammy looked awful solemn,
then he says:
Teacher, the 'rithmetickers diff
fer"
"No, they DON'T" says the
teacher. "You stay in at recess
and study your lesson"
When We was coming home day
before yesterday We stopped to rest,
and Sammy says:
"What do you s'pose the teacher
was getting at when she asked me
who discovered America"
81 guess she was trying to see if
you knew" says !.
"Well, know three or four fellers
that say they did, but l couldn't
just think CT EN- then, cause she
comes on me so sudden. L was
Ben Bakers question, anyhow; my
question was, What was the first
land he sighted?' and l was to an
swer, "A small island of the West
Injuns archerpillergo not fully
i~ndenterfied by exploders.'
SWELL" says l, 81 s'pose she
meant Columbus"
Il guess SO. l wonder if the In.
juns saw Columbus fore he saw
them. If they did, then l should
think America discovered herself.
Pop says Injuns is pizen. He knows
all about 'em. Yours truly,

The Hair VS.. Insanity.

1t Sas formerly supposed that
people of pale complexion. espec.
tally if the hair was pronounced
blonde, fine and thin, We're special.
ly liable to mental excitement and
brain disorder. Statistics which
have recently been compiled prove
this to be another Of the grave errors
of the old-time specialist" At the
kirkbridge (England) Asylum out
of a total of 265 patients only one
had red hair, and only three either
light hair or fair complexion. In
the New York, London and Paris
hospitals for the insane the same
proportion holds good. Exactly
why dark-haired persons are more
liable to mental disease than those
of other shades of color has not yet
been explained.

The intent of the organization is sci
forth in the oatt to which each
member must subscribe. This oath
is as follows:
[ do most solemnly promise and
swear that | will not allow anyone 6
member of the Roman Catholic
church to become a member of this

that | will use my influence to pro-
mote the interest OF all P~rotestants

resources any Roman Catholic
church or institution of their sect OF
creed whatsoever, but will do all in
my power to retard and break down
the power of the Pope; that l will
not enter into any controversy with
a Roman Catholic upon the subject
Of this order; nor will | enter into
any agreement with a Roman Cath
Ollie to strike or create a disturbance

ants and counsel with them, to the
exclusion of all Roman Catholics,
and will not make known to them
anything of any nature matured by
such conference; that l will not
countenance the nomination in any
caucus or convention of a Roman
Catholic for any office in the gift OF
the American people, and that I will
not vote for nor counsel others to vote
for any Roman Catholic, but will
vote only for q Protestant; that l
will endeavor at all times to place
the political positions of this govern.
ment in the hands of Protestants.
To all of which l do most solemnly
promise and swear, SO help me God.
Amen.
Democrats in their state and local
platforms have been emphatic in de.
nunciation of the A. P. A. while,
generally, the Republicans have
given the organization secret or open
1t cannot be that
such an unamerican movement can
long flourish in America. 1t is a
practical denial of religious liberty.
But what will ba the outcome of
this movement? Twice before SIM
liar organizations have appeared in
this county. In each instance was
brought about the downfall of the
chief political opponent of the DEM
o~cratic party. This new force will
soon disappear. Viii it repeat his
tory and bury with itself the Repub-
liean party? There is more in
this question than the average poll
thinks. The time is ripe in
The United States for a political rev.
olution.

WHY CHILD MURDER FLouRIsEEs.
Tennessee Board of Health Riames Certain
Insurance Companies.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. q
1t is believed by the TennesseeState
Board of Health that the horrible
practice of numbering young infants
for insurance taken out on them Is
rapidly growing among the lower
classes of the negro population, and
an investigation is now in progress
which promises to disclose a shock
ing condition of affairs. For a long
time the board has been closely
watching the movements of certain
insurance companies who make a
business Of selling risks on the lives
of infants and very young children,
and they have found that the prac-
tice has become so general that II
| demands immediate investigation
and perhaps correction. As the
rates of this class of life insurance
are very cheap, a large business has
been done even among the poorer
classes, and it is thought that a num-
Der OF child murders have been the
result, but because of the difficulty
of obtaining evidence no specific
facts have been adduced. The com;

ing until recently connected with
the Mexico Argus, and being de-
sirous Of clearing myself of the
odium which would naturally attach
itself to anyone supposed to be even
in part responsible for the disgraceful
fight made by that paper on the Hon.
Champ Clark, I now avail myself of
the opportunity to set myself right
before the public.
l am a Republican; was born and
raised as one, and shall continue to
believe inthe principles of the party.
While connected with the Argus as
Associate Editor / labored for the
good of the party in every Legitimate
way that could be found. As the
readers OF the LEDGER are aware [
severed my connection with that
paper about two weeks ago. This I
dure the position in which | was
placed by the open and avowed pol.
icy OF the paper, which was that of
heaping abuse of ali kinds and qual.
tiles upon the head of the Represen-
tative OF this district of Congress.
This at last became unbearabie to
one possessing the least fairminded-
ness, and when. about two weeks
ago, the Argus published a very
scurrilous article with regard to Mr..
Clark, l became fixed in my determ-
i%nation to sell my interest in the
paper; this l did at a sacrifice.
1t was still my determination to
use all fair efforts for the success OF
Prof. Treloar, however remote the
possibility of his election. Such was
my intention until the Argus APP
peared yesterday morning with a
string of pretended afidayits from
supposed citizens of st. Charles
county, attempting to besmear Mr..
Clark with all kinds of campaign
mud. Knowing, as / do, that Mr..
Clark has never stopped to such
methods himself,or even allowed his
over Jealous friends to do SO, | de-
termined to put the stamp of my
disapprnval upon the methods OF
the Argus, and of such methods in
general. w. T. Day,
