Following the lead of the Germans the
Belgians have now excluded American
beef. Another important market is thus
closed to a branch of American trade. The
fact is that the Wilson bill has not opened
foreign markets to our products, but has
closed them. The error has been made,
however, and the United States will suffer
the consequences until Republican adj
ministration has the opportunity of cor
recting it, Keene Sentinel.

THE MILITARY SAUSAGE.
Links of Bologna May BE Useful In Vsri
Gus Ways In Wartime.

GUS Ways In Wartime.
In The Forum Edward Atkinson attrib.
utes the success of the German forces in
the Franco Prussian war "to the German
army sausage without which the German
rifles would probably have failed to be Of
fective at the right time and in the right
place."
This was not because the sausage was
used as ammunition for the rifles, as ono
might suppose, but, as he previously re-
marks, "because of the rapid concentration
of the troops by forced marches which tho
sausage made possible"
Without entering into the question OF
the sausage's effectiveness IS projectile
which is subject too awful to contem-
plate at the present time, one may easily
see the value of this favorite luxury in
other ways, and it will not take long to
show the possibilities of the sausage on tho
march and as means of defense.
Every man should be provided with a
sausage about feet long, to be worn about
the body as the overcoat or blanket is now
worn-i e., over one shoulder and the ends
fastened together by a strap. On arriving
at place where mud Or any obstruction
makes the roads impossible for the guns
and ammunition every man should throw
down his sausage, and in few moments
a good corduroy road might be made, over
which the heavy implements could easily
pass.
Had Lord Wolseley's army in the Su-
dan been provided with these sausages
think how much easier it would have been
to transport the boats across the cataracts
of the Nile! Every man would have used
his sausage as a roller, and the boats could
have been moved with very little effort.
The empty skin might make very useful
army balloon, and after lunch, by the aid
of small quantity of methylatcd spirits,
any man might make an ascent and recon-
hotter the position of the enemy.
If, however, instead of being made with
the ordinary skin, Herr Doves bullet
proof cloth were used, the possibilities of
the sausage would be multiplied exceed
ingly. For instance, what could be easier
than for a regiment to throw up in fow
moments bullet proof breastworks, behind
which they might be perfectly securep
Nothing could equal the rapidity with
which change of position could be effect
ed, and an army thus provided could defy
the enemy with impunity.-Ka Fields

The same writer once rode with Carlyle

vain with questions to induce the great

few sentences of silver speech. Carlyle
preserved moody silence. But the de-

affecting not to know Mr.. Carlyle, he ask

reply:
