"A WOMAN AT ExOAS1Xs
SHE GAVE THE ASSESSOR A Lor OF
INTERESTING IMFoRxArloN.
A deputy assessor called At 4
Mission residence few days .go
and asked the lady Of the house to
fill out her statement Of assessable
property. She had never made
out . statement before, this public
duty having been attended to BY
her husband in previous years.
In some way she was under the
impression that the statement Of her
effects would be published in the
daily papers, and she was anxious
to let her neighbors know what
she had.

"Not . cent less than one thou

CONSUMPTION OF HORSE
FLESH IN GERMANY.

Washington. April In view Of
the closing Of German markets for
the American cattle there is another
direction toward which American
packers might we'll turn their atten-
ton. and that is the preparation
and sale Of horse meat. The above
is the suggestion made by United
States Consul e. W. Tingle. at
Brunswick, Germany. in report
% the State OF Department. He
says that in large German cities the
consumption OF horse meat is almost
as great as that Of beef aud mutton.
aud it is growing in the sraller
towns. OF course. the customers
are exclusively Of the poorer classes.
but they comprise nino-tsDths Of the
consumers of the country. and the
meat is sold Tor Z cents pound. as
against beef ut from Is to 25 cents.
The consul sets out reasons to prove
that horse meat is quite As good rs
beef. He says tbs demand has in
creased 80 rapidly in Germany that
it is difficult to meet it. and wher, :
AZ butchers formerly paid so to 100
marks for . worn horse, they now
pay 40 and so marks. Prices arc
rising. The Consul sees q great
opportunity for American packers
He says the horse supply in America
practically inexllaustible; :hey can
be raised in tie West cheaper than
cattle, and more easily shipped.
Tho meat cannot be canned. but it
can be furnished sailed or smoked.
~ we'll as fresh. just Ms it is used in
Germany. The report touches
upon the astonishing rapid disuse
Of horses i'll America consequent
upon the introduction Of the trolley
Car which has made horse raising 10
the West Improbable, aud urges
that the ranch men may End relief
by raising horses for foad. the
prejudice against the meat in
Am.ric being no good reason why

II AGE OF LOVE.

Curious Correspondence on This Question
In London Papers.
The age of Love- correspondence,
in the London Daily Telegraph is elic-
iting some odd statements and anus
ing glimpses OF individual character
end views.
Ladies in the bloom of their wrin-
kles" is one of the funniest definitions
of elderly sirens who have proved ire
sistible, and, according to one of the
writer's. we must include Helen of
Troy amongst these aged charmers.
Helen, says The pitilcss one, was so
when she a off with Paris.
Cleopatra, we all know, was old
enough for Shakespeare to write of her
that "age" could not wither her when
she fascinated an amorous Antony of
nearly ~thres-score and ten.
But more amusing still is the letter
Of a young lady" who has had !" more
adulation and attention than falls to
the lot of most Of her sex, and conse
qnently has had considerable expert
nee in love at all ages"
This lady, who at II was engaged to
~ noble, good mar of IS" declares that
at no age has she found the love of man
so profound, true and lasting as from
IS to 40"
but. alas! this wise reflection seems
to have come too late, for she broke the
engagement for some trivial cause,
and he. r to his promise never to get
ever rejection, died within three years
of an undermined constitution-and a
slight cold!

He Could Not Enter the Army without
His Rear.
A bear Barnum has had the good for
tune to melt the hearts of stern mill
tary men by his tale, and to obtain
thereby a ~postponement of his period
OF service in the army. The man was
called upon at Bordeaux, and presented
himself at the recruiting Office with a
superb bruin. lie told the captain in
charge of the place that he was quite
willing to don the military uniform, but
he did not know what would become of
his bear. The animal was trained, and
worth E4O. Nobody would keep it for
him, and if he allowed it % go loose
about the country it might do some
damage. You mus. take my bear as
wei as myself" said the recruit to the
officer, who, being perplexed, sent the
man away until the general of the
district had been communicated with.
The recruit has been allowed another
year before being called on to serve
with the colors. Within that period he
is expected to have found somebody
who will take charge of the useful ami
nal. by whose ungainly gambols he
makes a living.

GLADsToNE's MARRIAGE.

An Account Of the Affair In an Old
Clipping.
The following paragraph appeared in
a Cheshire (England) newspaper of
the year 1899: For some time the little
town of Hawarden has been in a state of
excitement in consequence of the an
ticipated nuptials of the two Misses
Glynne, sisters of Sir Stephen Glynne,
Bart, M. p, who have been engaged for
some time to Lord I4ittleton and Mr..
William Ewart Gladstone. Tuesday
was fixed as the date when the ceremo-
ny should take place.
About 1890 a simultaneous rising of
the large assemblage, accompanied by
a burst of melody from the organ, an
nounced that the fair brides had ar
rived. All eyes were turned toward
the door to witness the entrance of the
brides and the bridesmaids with the rest
of the bridal party, and the slow pro-
cession up to the communion table. In
a few minutes all had arrived, and the
imposing ceremony had commenced. At
this moment the spectacle presented
was an extremely interesting one. The
large bridal party exhibited every ele-
gance Of costume, and the dresses of the
ladies belonging to it, as well as those
of many among the spectators, made
up a very brilliant and attractive scene,
lit up, as it was, by splendid sunshine.
The ceremony was performed by Hon.
and Rev. G. Neville. At it's conclusion
the newly-wedded couples and their inn
mediate friends passed out amid the fe-
licitations OF the throng.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 90, 1896.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1896.
"A resolution was introduced in
the House of Representatives at
Washington the other day asking
for the appointment Of a commit
tee to investigate certain alleged
statements made by Mr.. Bayard
ambassador to the court of
St.James IN a speech delivered at
Edinburgh Scotland recently, with
a view to his impeachment. The
statements complained of are IS
follows; The president stood in the
midst of q strong, self-confident
and oftentimes violent people, men
who sought to have their own way.
It took a real man to govern the
people of the United States;. In
my own country | have witnessed
the Unsuitable growth of a form of
socialism styled protection, which
has done more to corrupt public
life, to Danish men of independent
mind from public councils and to
lower the tone Of the national
representation than any other
single cause. Protection, now con-
trolling the sovereign power of
taxation, has..deen perverted from
its proper functions of creating
revenue to support the govern
ment, into an engine for selfish
profit, allied with combinations
called trusts. It has thus Slapped
the popular conscience by giving
corruption largely 10 special
classes and it throws legislation
into the political market, where
jobbers and choppers took the
placs of statesman, and while we
r sorry that one of our repre-
sentatives should have shown his
weakness SO much to a foreifn
people as to have claimed and that
/ Grover Cleveland was a s.real
man." yet we fail to see anything
improper in this statement.
What he is charged with saying
in relation to protection we be-
lieye he has a perfect right to say
as would also one who believed in
protection have the right to ex-
press his opinions on the effect Of
free trade or a tariff for revenue.
These are economic questions
which apply as we'll to one country
as another and a nation is in q
pretty bad state of affairs when il
puts g seal upon the mouth Of its
foreign representatives, in re-
latlon to economic questions.
This is turning our back upon
one Of the fundamental principles
OF our constitutional free speech
The most Disgusting feature is the
display Of partizan prejudice, this
measure received the support o.
the entire republican delegation in
the House. Talk about "jingc
craftsmanship il here is not d dis
gnsting exhibition Of it then W.
do not understand it's meaning
No one believes for q minute tina
any furtl,ea attempt will be mad,
to impeach Mr.. Bayard, it wa
just q little political buncom--s
little display Of the "bully'' by
party that Just now feels that it il
Ala powerful, and has an eyerlast

country. In u candid opinio:

The following Is taken faom The
Union Signal Of Dec. 18th:

"A 6tuO0NV VI WIG tOAAH0A00NO =
form finds no more significant
change in public sentiment than
that which proposes to deal with
the drunkard as one who commits
9 crime against society. The
drunkard maker has no longer
been regarded in that light by
temperance people but they have
been perhaps to lenient toward
the finished product" Of the lis
quor business. The studies Of Sir
Benjamen Ward Richardson and
other famous experts have
proved that alcoholism is a disease,
while the studies of religious and
ethical experts have proved it q
crime against both natura! and
spiritual laws. Now comes the
stateman and his position is that
the drunkard is an enemy ofsocie-
ty and an unmitigated nuisance
and danger in the home. He there
fore proposes that the state shall
found industrial homes in which
drunkards shall be detained by
order of the court.
England has already gone a
long way toward securing such a
law. 1t has passed the House of
Commons and the next Parliament
will undoubtedly place the sub
|ject before its members.
The Austrian government IS
about to introduce a bill which
proposes to treat the drunkard as
a person mentally incapable and
likely to inhict injury upon the
community, not only by actual
violence but by example,, and to
provide for him a term of deten-
ton which is to be two years with
power to extend or diminish the
time according to results. For
ourselves We believe the "Do
Everything Policy for the drunk
ard. We favor the Keely Cure,
the Christian home for inebriate
men (that of DR.. Thompson III
Chicago being an excellent ex-
ample), the gospel meeting the
Temperance pledge. All Of these
are help that should be gratefully
recognized by those who are try.
to deliver men from bondage.
We hold as we always have held,
to the gospel cure as the only COM
plete deliyerance, and we believe
this view to besfounded on a philo-
sophical basis, which has perhaps
never been better expressed than
by DR.. Horace Bushnell in his
we'll known phrase:
"The expulsive power Of new
affection" For when the love Of
God dwells at the center Of a mans
being, it works out through all his
senses, habits and manner Of life

uplifting, purifying and cleansing
all.
But we confidently believe tina
a house Of detention where me1
might "sober up would help then
to perceive the intimate power Q:
a Christian life to take them GU
of bondage. We also believe tina
to arrest the drunkard, no matte:
what his social position, and t.
place him in custody, would great
ly deter the ignorant and thought
less upon such a b~ru.alized con
dition. and would thus be of in
calculabla service IN stamping TIL
