Australia Sees Profit in Her Plague.
From the Melhnurne Arms

Rabbits may yet save the country. The
secretary for agriculture has received a
letter from Mr.. Berry OF the agent gen.
erals Office stating that ii is expected dur
ing the coming season that the price of
rabbits will be from 10d to I'D each. The
charges for dock dues, carriage, and com
mission at London are about Id per rabbit
and to Hull or any other manufacturers
provincial cities about one penny extra.
lie adds: There is not the slightest doubt
that very large trade indeed is open to
Victorian rabbits in the great manufac-
turing districts, such as Leeds, Manchester
and Sheffield. where all the members of
a family work at the mills, and therefore
have not much time to spare for cook
ing. Rabbits can be easily cooked, and are
accordingly much favored by mill work.
ers, ana it is no unusual thing when
rabbits are cheap for them to be the sole
local meat food eaten by the family during
the week" He strongly urges Victorian
shippers to take a small profit in order to
assist in pushing trade in rabbits in these
districts.

NEW MARRIAGE LAW.

T1re maErage license act as amended by
the legislature of 1898 went into effect on
Tuesday, last in every county in the state.
The operation of the law has been retarded
two years by a clerk in the transcribing room
of the House of Representatives writing the
figure five" for a three" in the original
bill. The marriage license act as passed in
1885 was amended in 1889 so as to require the
marriage ceremony in the same county in
which the license was granted.
The amended act, which now goes into
effect provides that a marriage license may
be secured in one county and the parties be
married in any other county in the Common
wealth, provided the party solemnizing the
ceremony transmits duplicate record to the
other county.
This privilege will be of the greatest benefit
to those about to marry who can more readily
reach the county seat of an adjoining county
than their own and will be a convenience in
many other ways.

sooialistic Growth in Germany.

lishes the years report of the socialist ac-
tivity, and notes the increase of the so
cialist influence in communal sections, de-
claring that the term social democracy
and laboring classes is becoming more and
more synonymous. The Vorwaerts shows
that there is surplus of nearly $1,000
marks for the year in the revenue of the
party, which amounted to 247, 450 marks.
The expenses were $780, ,354 'marks. The
various collisions with the state authori-

members of the party amounting to to-
tol of eighteen and a half years penal servi-
tude, sixty-four years of Imprisonment and

BEAUTY.
HOW TO INCREASE IN WEIGHT AND
OTHERWISE IMPROVE ONES PER
soNAL APPEARANCE.

Every normally constituted man and
woman wants to look WELL This is natural
and right. We have little sympathy for
those people who through Incidence or
gluttony have permitted themselves to take
on too much flesh. They know that by talk
ing plenty Of exercise they can get back to
their normal weight
We do however have great deal of
sympathy for those poor, pale, thin sufferers
who either have no appetite or else whose
food distresses them to such degree that
they are forced to live on q most frugal diet.
Their trouble arises from the fact that they
are unable to digest sufficient food and when
their stomach is out of order and iails to do
its proper work, foods are worse than useless.
They simply ferment in the stomach and fill
the system with poisonous principles.
What these people need is something that
will digest their food after it has been eaten,
and it is in just such eases that the Digestive
Cordial as made by the Mount Lebanon
Shakers is proving remarkably successful,
1t is so prompt in its action that sense of
relief almost Immediately follows the first
dose, and a rapid increase in weight is soon
noted
The Shakers nave issued an interesting PAM
phlet which may be obtained upon inquiry at
any drug store.

Cordial and see what it will do for you,

NIGHT SCHOOLS.

Within a short time the local public school
authorities will throw open ten evening
schools for the benefit OF those who cannot
attend the day schools. A few years ago
night schools were so little encouraged that it
was deemed a waste of time and expense to
open them, but since then more lively
interest has been evnced and the school
authorities have felt justified from time to
time in increasing the number.
This year the system starts out more ex-
tehsiye and elaborate than ever before and
we hope to see the efforts of the Directors ap-
preciated as they should be- For the first
time am evening high school viii be estab-
lished this year, as wen as a separate
evening school for girls and young women.
The establishment of these branches is
highly commendable. 1t places the borough,
to some extent, ON footing with the large
cities, in that none of the rising generation
need grow up in ignorance because Of enforced
labor during the day, and lack Of means for
securing suitable education in the evenings.
The school for girls is am innovation which
it is hoped will be fully as successful as the
others It can work am immense amount Of
