Curing the Liquor Habit.
From the Baltimore sun.

The theory of the Maryland inebriate act,
which has just been passed upon by the Court
Of Appeals. is that the taste for strong drink
Is a disease which can be cured by treatment.
Judge Edward Stake, of Hagerstown, seems
to be Of opinion that persistent drunkenness
is something of a crime, or at least, if it is a
disease. that il can be conquered by the mind
cure. According to dispatch from Hagers-
town. which was published recently, a man
petitioned to the Judge to have himself sent
to a gold cure at the expense of the county.
This the Judge declined to do, but expressed
his willingness to send the man to the House
Of Correction. The man then said that he
would withdraw the petition. But this, also,
the Judge declined to permit. bnt informed

RISEN.
RY V. II. CORNELL.

IN fr-oT Palestine
The Easter lilies blow,
Where once One died upon cross
Long centuries ago.
Where once with aching hearts,
And eyes with tears undried,
The few who loved Him sought the tomb
of Christ, the crucifed.
And heard with wondering joy
The words the angel said;
He is not here The One you seek
Has risen from the dead r
Not unto them alone
Those blessed words werc given,
All lands, all ages hear them yet
Rejoice The Lord is risen
The Lord is risen indeed
Within our hearts Away;
And we who love Him lin our eyes
And praise His name today
And still He lives who died
Long centuries ago:
And still in far off Palestine
The Easter flliess blow.

WHEN EASTER COMES.

From the Boston Transcript.
Thirty days hath, september,
Every person can remember;
But to know when Easter's come.
Puzzles every scholars, some.
When March the twenty-flrst is past,
Just watch the silvery moon.
And when you see it full and round.
Know Easter'll be here soon
After the moon has reached its full.
Then Easter will be here,
The very sunday after,
In each and every year.
and il it hap on sunday.
The moon should reach its height
The Sunday following this event
win be the Easter bright.

CHEAPER THAN carrl.r.

Horses. says Mr. Jingle, can be raised in
The United States much cheaper than cattle.
They can he slaughtered by ANY of the Ameri-
can packing houses as easily rs cattle, and
can be shipped alive across the the sea much
more easily than cattle, and can be sold either
on the hoof or dressed al price certainly
greater than seven cents per pound. The
meat is consumed in Germany in both salt
ed and smoked state.
..With the astouishingly rapid disuse Of
horses in America" says Consul Jingle,
their raising, especially West, is far from
being the profitable industry il was. If the
ranchman, however, can make the raising of
horses for food profitable, why should he not
do III The subject Is Of two-fold interest TO
the American packer, whose beef and beef
products are now excluded from the German
market. aud TO the horse raiser, whose invest
ed capital brings him in very unsatisfactory
returns. The prejudice against eating horse
meat is so great in our country that there will
probably never be demand for meat Of this
kind but there Is no reason why American
packers aud ranchmeu should not take advan-
fage of the existence of different state Of
things in another country to found what can
be made very profitable industry aud ex-
tensiye export trade.

Horsenesh for Germany.

Horsehesh is packed in large quantities in
this country and shipped to Germany. Consul
Edward W. 5. Jingle at Brunswick Germany.
says while exact statistics as to the consnmp-
ton of horse meat are difficult TO obtain. i
seems it Is almost as great as that Of beef or
mutton in the large cities Of Germany. Ia
smaller cities, where there IS some prejudice
against horse meat, the consumption IS about
one.third that Of beef but in these places the
use of horse meat IS growing daily. It's con
sumers are exclusively Of the poorer classes,
but they comprise niue-tenths ofthe consumers
Of the country.
Beef and other hrst-elass meats cost from Is
70 p cents per pound in Germany, and are
ont Of the reach Of the average workman. who
receives 70 cents or a dollar per day.
The demand for horse meat has grown 10
such an extent that it is beginning to be diff
iicnlt to supply it, and this Is where the OPP
portnnity for the American packer comes in.
according to Mr.. Jingle. Formerly the Ger
man butcher had little difficulty in procuring
for slaughter horses which were either worn
out or injured so as to be worthless. but the
supply of this class of animals is about eX-
hansted. and horses for butchering now cost
from S45 TO $50. where formerly they could be
had for from s. to $40. The consequence Is
that just as people have become attached to
horse meat the butcher finds he must raise his

from 1907 to 1912, the killing of seals
was interdicted by the Russian author
ities, with the result that at the ex-
piration OF that time the animals had
returned, and showed signs of increas-
ing in considerable numbers. Before
many years passed the revenue in seal
skins once more became profitable.
The skins of the seal were first shipped
to London and to New York. in
the early ffties, and these shipments
continued at the rate of nearly 60, 900
skins per annum until the transfer of
the Russian possessions to the United
States.
During the early sixties the Russian
Government received reports from its
agents on the Pribilof Islands to the
effect that the seals were increasing at
an enormous rate, that the rockeries
were crowded beyond their capacity,
and permission was again and again
asked to increase the number of seals
allowed to be killed annually, in order
TO make room for the apparent mill.

time OF the purchase Of the Pribiloi

pelt. The pelt is tossed into wagon,
and is carted to the curing house. and
there cured. For the time being il is
merely salted. LATER on the brine is
removed and pressed out of the skin,
and two pelts with the fur in are rolled
up together, securely strapped, and
are then ready for shipment.
Before the Aleut killers begin their
work they glance over the seals in the
group, and il one is discovered which
is either under or over age he is given
tap on the nose, and is sent scurry
ing toward the beach. The Aleut en-
ployes receive from the lessees of the
seal islands forty cents for each pelt
removed. Lifelong practice has made
these Indians expert in stripping skins,
and they carry their pride to the ex-
tent of stoutly refusing to demean
themselves with any other form of
work.
White men, aside from Government
officers, are not permitted to land on
the seal islands. Occasionally, late in
the fall, and during fog, some daring
seal hunter will attempt dash at one
OF the seal islands. In the course of n
couple of undisturbed hours he may
be able to kill couple of hundred
seals. Usually, however, the natives of
the islands are able to take care of such
poachers, but to make matters doubly
safe it has been the practice in late
years for at least one United States
revenue cutter to remain of st. George
and st. Paul until as late as December
l. The revenue cutter Bear is the
vessel generally assigned to this late
patrol work. She is sturdy, able
craft, and is able to weather the heavy
blows which are prevalent in the Ber-
ing Sea in the late fall. To see that
the number of seals permitted to be
killed by the lessees is not exceeded,
the United States Inspectors from the
Treasury Department are constantly
on hand, and they remain en- the isl
ands throughout the year.

pleated into the waist in front-a
most becoming fashion to slender
figure. Another popular way of cut
ting the waist lately is to have very
square pouch-like effect in front, the
folds turned up an even line,, and
showing deep waistband. This style
gives still more slender look to the
hips; in fact, everything is done to
make the bodice broad and fluffy as
possible and the hips, and waist small.
Amateur dressmakers will do we'll to
remember these rules-shoulder slop-
ing, sleeves very wide and short,
bodice full and great deal trimmed,
waist we'll defined and hips fitted per-
fectly smooth. Whatever the design
or cut OF fashionable gown of the
season, these should be the character
istics.
Braiding and silk embroidery are
coming into use, and are seen on some
of the most stylish costumes. One
dress of fine Endora has an apron
front, braided in elaborate arabesques.
The cuffs, which extend to the elbows,
are covered with embroidery, and the
vest is similarly finish cd. The collar
and revers are perfectly plain.

Englishman, whose pictures have been
on exhibition in London.
Mr.. Hiles is not the only armless
artist of merit now living. Charles
Felu, of Antwerp, has long been
known as an excellent painter. Mr..
Felu wields the brush with his mouth.
The Englishman lost his arms at the
age of eight, in q street car accident I;
the Belgian was born armless. The
former is only twenty eight years old.
and is principally distinguished as a
landscape painter the latter is sixty
tour, and is figure painter.
Mr.. Hiles combines q vast amount
of perseverance and cheerfulness with
unmistakable artistic ability. Only
two years after his accident, he had
SO far mastered the control of his
pencil held in his mouth that he
was placed in the frst.class division
of the second grade of free-hand
drawing of the National School
at Bristol, and he was only six
teen when he exhibited work-a
study ,of sycamore leaf-at the
local Academy of Pictures. For the
next few years he studied, both in
Bristol and in Paris, 30 assiduously
and successfully that in 1890 he car.
ried away n scholarship, open to the
competition Of the United Kingdom,
of hundred guineas, and tenable fol-
two years, offered by the National Art
Department of South Kensington
Since then further honors have beer
won by him on equal terms with Other
competitors.
Mr.. Hiles is CHEEKY, good looking
and intelligent young man. He seems
to suffer but little Inconvenience OF
account of his misfortune. His lip
appear to serve him nearly as ef
ficiently as do our hands. At the re-
quest of visitor he took up pen il
his mouth and wrole his signature.
