department at Washington. speaking
OF the report that large horse
slaughtering and packing industry had
been started in Portland, Ore, said
there was no law compelling such
meats to be labeled, as in the case OF
oieomargarine when sold rs butter.
The department had endeavored to Sc
cure legislation similar to the oleo-
margarine law, which would compel
dealers in horse meat to label it so that
consumers need not be deceived, but
had failed.

first-class pedigrees and of perfect
beauty and style, which would have
sold few years ago for 81, 500 apiece,
went for from $50 to 5000; and one
which had brought $500 as yearling
sold for s1?5. The explanation of this
slump in the price Of horses is to be
found in the extension of the use Of
electricity as motive power, and the
growing popularity of the bicycle.

The popularity of black iron lamps
and lanterns for the piano, the study
or porch has given impetus to the
languishing art of working in ham
mered iron. 1t is the highest type of
iron work as well as the most beauti-
full and we are glad to see it revived.
The hammered iron work of the
middle ages has been reverepced al
most as a departed art. The best of
this work is very expensive, but that
has not prevented the production OF
some magnificent examples. The
opportunity for the use of hammered
iron work is large, including gates
ratings, balconies, ETC., and it would
appear that once general attention
was directed to this species of artistic
ornam .ntation the field of it's appli.
cation would be extensive.

the effect of strict adherence to the old
precept, early to bed and early to
rise" with steady work during waking
hours. Every grand old man, says the
Home journal, seems to have secret
of his own. Mr. Gladstone, we be-
lieve, attributes his longevity to his
habit Of taking daily walk in AL
weathers and to his giving thirty-twc
bites to every morsel of TODD Olive

Major Knox Holmes swore by the tri
cycle, which, in the end, was the cause
of his death. DR.. P H. Van der Weyde,
an American octogenarian, not long
ago offered himself las an example of
the benign influence of the study and
practice of music" Some aged per-
sons give the credit of their long lives
from abstinence from tobacco, alcohol,
meat or what not; others to their in
diligence in all these things. One
old lady, of whom we read not
long ago as having reached the
age of 100 or whereabouts,
ntained that single blessedness is
the real elixir vitae, and she ascribed
the death of brother at the tender
age of 80 to the fact that he had com
mitted matrimony in Early life. NJ.
Ferdinand de Lesseps believed in horse
riding. Mr.. James Payn complains
that in his boyhood he got little
bored with too much horse" In a
letter recently published. M. De Les
seps delivered himself on the subject
as follows: II shall always be deeply
grateful to Larine, my riding master,
who from my earliest years made me
share his keen passion for horses, and
am still convinced that daily horse
exercise has in a large measure been
the means of enabling me to reach my
eighty-fourth year in perfect health. "
Carlyle was also a great rider almost
to the end of his long life, and he not
only rode, but, we believe, groomed
his ho~ himself. On the whole, it
must be concluded that the real secret
of longevity is a sound constitution
prudently husbanded. The only gen
eral rules that can be laid down IT, re
those set forth by Adam in las You

DID NOT LIKE TIE SMELLS.
Stevenson's Experience in New York
Society Not a Pleasant One.


The death of Robert Louis Steven
son recalled his experience in New
York society during the short time
he stayed there on his way to the
Pacific coast few years ago. Most
of the Americans he had met before
that were those novelsts, artists, and
newspaper men from this country
who live in London, or frequently so
journ there, and these he liked,
partly, l suppose, because they
reverenced his genius, and because
also they had more or less claim to
his literary regard. When Stevenson
arrived in New York he was taken up
people and received in what
are spoken of as good houses
and a good many of these. He was
as shy as Hawthorne, unconven-
Lional in his manners and
indifferent as to his dress. Instead of
meeting the sort of men who were
seen everywhere in London society,
he was brought into contact almost
entirely with lot of brainless tops,
who looked upon him. as curiosity,
and numbers OF silly and artificial
women, who tried ITO talk up to him."
and failed. This was due in some
measure to the fact that his health
forced him to go out principally in
the daytime But the result was to
give him strong distaste for what he f,
had been assured was the "best So
ciety" in New York. Afterward he
summed visiting Americans in Samoa,
and spent good deal of time de-
peram bulating impression
lists who essayed to describe his life
there on his return When properly
understood he showed himself pos
sessed of noble heart and winning /
His death was sad less
