which they brewed into ale, and sold
for the benefit of the poor Of the parish,
kind of festival, often accompanied
by fair, being held on these occasions,
Audrey mentions this custom as con-
tinuing TO his grandfather's time, and
speaks approvingly of 1t, remarking
that, In his own parish, there were no
poor rates; the Whtsun ale did the bus
mess. All things (at the festi-
vaD were civil and without scandal"
The abuse of such festivities Is often
denounced, but the most sober and reli-
gious persons of the vicinity never APP
pear to have objected to the fact of the
brewing and sale OF the beer. Even the
Puritans of the seventeenth century
mad no special quarrel with the bever-
ages vended on these occasions; they
merely denounced Church ales'' in the
same company with May poles, stage
plays and all other amusements.
Prynne himself was certainly no alb
stainer; when he records that, during
his imprisonment, he took few regular
or four hours "munched manchet and
refreshed his exhausted spirits with a
cup OF ale brought by his servant. In
1920 consultation of physicians at Par
is We're told by one of their number that
the English have drink called ale,
which is the wholesomest liquor which
can be drank. While the Eng
lishmen drank only ale, they were
strong and brave men, but when they
fell to wine they greatly decreased in
strength" The altered habits of mod
ern life, with its more sedentary pur-
suits, and its substitution Of indoor for
outdoor occupations, have modified the
medical view regarding wholesome
ness of beer. Like fat bacon, 1t is not
readily assimiated by modern brain
workers.-London Standard.

Danish Precautions as to Meat.


The cattle, sheep and swine in Den
mark have to undergo rigid veterin-
airy examination both before and after
they are slaughtered. Before meat
can be removed from the slaughter
house 1t must be officially stamped as
first or second-class food" Some I'M
scrupulous butchers tried to efface this
stamp by cutting it out or chemically
removing it, and replaced first" for
"second-class;' but they were summar-
lily dealt with, and fine of f110 i'm
posed, which has effectually put stop
to their tricks.
1t is not only in Denmark that they
mark meat (although 1t is done there
for quality, but in italy, the United
States, the Netherlands, Belgium and
Germany. A select committee in the
house Of lords Is beginning to see the
ACCESSIBILITY of the plan (Which at pres
ent is only used to distinguish the meat
killed for the use of the Jews), to en-
able the buyer to ascertain whether 1t
Is English, foreign or colonial meat his
interruptions butcher passes off as "the
best English" at the best English prize
es, Perhaps, in time, our government
will superintend the slaughter house
and mark the meat as first or second
class" as the Danes do. This little
country is now beginning to send us
large supplies Of butchers meat, and
a bill was brought forward in Novem-
her, 1893 by the minister of the interior,
in the "Folkthing," authorizing him to
direct official veterinary inspection to
be made of all the consignments before
they are packed for England, in order
to secure the export of none but the
best quality. The Danes are very
careful of their food supplies. and pro-
portionally successful in their gains.

Church A1es.

1t would be easy to cite countless Tyr
les in praise of ale from the days of the
jovial author Of IT love no roast but a
nut-brown toast" ETC., with its stirring
chorus, down to the times Of the bard
who liked drop of good beer" and
denounced those who would ''rob poor
man. of this pleasure; but these ditties,
like the songs of modern German stu
dents, cannot be reckoned among the
testimonies of the sober portion of the
community. The reckless chora1e of
the singer who only wished for good
ale enough, whether it be new or old"
savors of the revels which over-pass the
limits of honest mirth." But to mod
ern temperance ideas it is somewhat
surprising to come upon an inscription
like the following on a, church gallery,
as actually occurs at Sygate, in Nor
folk:
God speed the plough
And give us good ale enow. 49,
Be merry and glade
With good ale was this work made.

An interesting report of the progress
of reorganization in Egypt since the
British occupation in 1882, by Mr.. viii
liers Stuart, has just been issued as a
parliamentary paper Twelve years
ago Mr.. Villiers Stuart, who was at
tached to Lord Dufferin's mission, con-
Quoted an inquiry into. the state of the
villages throughout Upper and Lower
Egypt. He has recently been over the
same ground, and the conclusion he
comes to is that, though much has
been done, the condition of the people
greatly ameliorated, and their worst
grievances to a considerable extent re-
dressed, yet much remains to be ac-
complished. Were the country left to
itself now, he says, 1t would quickly
relapse, the old abuses would be re-
stored, and the new lessons forgotten.
Egypt would in that case become a
standing reproach-a monument of
failure. He concludes that two genera
lions at least must elapse before the
reforms already effected can be regard
ed as permanent. This is equivalent to
saying that all discussion Of the ques-
ton of evacuation ought to be post
poned for half century at least.

Cans made of paper pulp are being
introduced to take the place of tin
cans for containing all kinds of preserv-
ed products. The occasional cases of
poisoning from canned foods are due
to the contents becoming tainted
through the cans not being air-tight.
Many millions Of tin cans are used an
nually by canned goods factories in
this country, and such cases of injury
from tainted goods are comparatively
rare; but because it is possible, through
slight defects in the solder, or minute
breaks in the cans, for such danger to
result, the Gamers have been looking
for satisfactory substitute for tin.
1t Is believed that this has at last been
found in the paper pulp cans. They are
oil-proof as well as waterproof, will
not expand or contract, and will stand
as much rough usage in shipment as tin
cans, and perhaps more.

An interesting experiment in turning
large farms into small holdings, which

sale, payment to he made in ten small
annual installments. Purchasers were
readily found of all trades and classes

and all the installments, with slight ex-
oeptions, have already been paid off,

a special meeting and Colonial banquet
on Monday evening at the home of Miss

fashioned candles similar to those

the fruits and nuts had been stored

SPOILED THEIR SPORT.
Accident to a Small Party of Sports
men Yesterday.


men Yesterday.
A trio of sportsmen, G. w. Elder, NJ.
M. Spaulding and a Mr.. Hodge, had a
narrow escape from being killed early
yesterday morning while leaving the
city for a duck hunt on the overflow
west of the Marysville road.
The men occupied vehicle drawn by
a pair of horses, and reached the
Twelfth-street crossing of the railroad
track just as a freight train came along.
When the train had passed they started
to cross the track, but encountered an
other train when it was too late to re-
treat.
The horses were whipped up in an
endeavor to escape the train, but the
wagon was struck by it and the occu-
pants thrown out. There was a general
miX-up Of horses, wagon and sports
men, but none of the latter were seri-
ously injured except Elder, one or two
of whose ribs were broken and other
injuries sustained. Mr.. Hodges knee
was hurt.
The injured men were taken to their
homes and their wounds cared for
promptly. They say that owing to
empty cars and buildings at that point
they were unable to see the second train
approaching.

Two Full Moons.

An astronomical phenomena will happen
this month, the first time in the Christian
era namely-two full moons in one calen dar
month. one happened on the 1st of the
month and the other VIII be on che 31st.
Eds. Record Union: The above arti
Gle has gone the rounds of the country
press, alluding to the fact of there being
two full moons this month, as if it were
a remarkable occurrence. 1t is grave
ly stated that it has not happened since
the birth of Christ, and some papers
have suggested that it indicates that
his second coming is at hand. Now, /
would say to any persons who have
been looking up patterns for ascension
robes, that it can be easily figured out
that this singular event is due at least
as often as once in fourteen years, and
those who have preserved their old al
manacs can easily satisfy themselves
that it happened twice less than three
years ago. There was full moon jan
uary 2, 1893, and January 81, 1898, and
again April /, 1893, and April 80, 1893.
That was certainly a great deal more
wonderful than the present affair, but
I do not think the papers noticed it at
all. S. P. L.
