POLITICAL GOSSIP.

1t is a rather threadbare trick OF
the county ring to put afloat a re-
port that discord and contenti IN
among Its members have broken
up its unity and sowed the seed Of
enmity amongst them, as this iden-
tical trick has been resorted too
often in past years, and was always
followed by billing and cooling
among them. And it is a singular
fact that the Express, in every in
stance, has been the medium
through which these rumors about
row and split amongst the men,
bers of the ring have gained pub
licity. Has the cunning ring taken
advantage Of the credulity and
greenhornism OF the Express, and
poured these things into its ear in
order to get them before the pub
lie? Or is the Express really stand.

and grooming it?
But what object can the ring
have in putting out the report tina
row and split have occurred be.
tween its members? Its object is
to lull the opposition to its meth
DDS into false security and to pro.
duce the impression that the ring
having bursted, its power, has de.
parted. This stale trick has been
crowned with success on several
occasions by throwing the opposi.
ton off the scent and leading
them to believe the ring had
ceased to be formidable. in conse
quence OF the falling out among its
members.
There is no truer saying thar
that Of Gin time Of peace, prepare
for war;" and this maxim applies
to political contests, particularly
where a ring entrenched in offic'
is to be dislodged. The ring always
has its forces we'll in hand. til
henchmen and cuckoos are too wei
trained and disciplined to require
long campaign for drilling them
hence the ring never put out III
ticket until about ten days befor,
the election. This plan suits tn,
ring admirably, inasmuch as i
has its forces we'll in hand and it
strikers hard at work, but it by NJ
means suits the opposition to pu
out its ticket at the eleventh hour
as by doing so it plays into tn
hand Of the ring.
The opposition should even nov
be concentrating its forces and pre-
pairing for action. 1t should carr,

CONTRIBUTED SCRAPS.

Written for the LIGHT.
"From the gushing style OF con
slant reader" it is pretty clear tn
author ia woman, and from he
saying that children cry for "Con
tributed Scraps" it is plain, she has
been dosing children with "Casto
rian and has menoriZed the. adver
tisement. OF that medicine.
Evidently constant Reader" il
female Pharisee, who is incenseC
at Contributed Scraps" for hold
ing the Pharisees up to ridicule
and contempt, as they richly de-
serve to be.
AS she knew it would be hope
less to attempt to defend the Phar
isees, "Constant Reader" concluded
she could overwhelm and daunt
contributed Scraps" by her irony
aud sarcasm. SAC had her trouble
for nothing.
Constant Reader" should cast
off the self-righteousness Of the
Pharisees, and endeaver to be a
sure enough Christian, after the
pattern Of Christ.
No quarter should be given to
the Pharisees. Christ himself
branded them as "vipers and hypo
critics." and the lapse of time has
not mellowed and improved them
in the least.
A Christian judges himself
severely, but is ever ready to make
excuses for others, and aims to
"shun evil and to do good" He
knows the heart must be pure in
order for the conduct and life to be
pure, and for that reason, he has a
contempt for those who affect to be
sanctified, while their hearts are
strangers to religion in its SIMPLE
ity and spirit.
Contributed Scraps" will always
wage war on shams, humbugs and
hypocrites.
"The CALLED jade will vince" and
the "wounded pigeons" will flutter,
and the Pharisees will groan,
splitter and whine, when they are
touched on raw place, for

heard an interesting story of fight
between an alligator and big bull on
the shores of Lake Okeechobee. Alliga-
tors are quite numerous in that lake, and
it is little visited by white men, though
Seminole Indians fish and hunt there.
Herds of cattle roam about through that
section of the state, and the bull in
question belonged to one of these herds.
1t was drinking at small inlet ON this
lake when its nose was caught by an al
ligator. The bull managed to free itself
by pulling the gator partly out of the
water 1t then lowered its horns and
caught the gator, throwing it on the
bank. When the bull made another at
tack, the alligator struck the bull with
its tail and severely hurt it. The bull
managed to tear a hole in the abdomen
or soft spot of the gator, but on anoth-
er charge the gator broke one of the
legs of the bull by blow from its tail.
This disabled the bull, and the gator
managed to break another leg in the
same way, but the saurian soon bled to
death, and the bull, when found with
its two broken legs, had to be shot

AN CID PRussIAN DISH.
sspeerhsh- l. Alleged 20 BE Good When
NJ Is Served steaming Hot.


There is a dish dear to every Prus-
SLAMS heart, which may be, however,
absolutely new in this country. All
Germans may not know il. as it Is not
made in south Germany except in iso-
lated cases. Beer is not its chief ingre-
dent, but it plays an important part in
the makeup.
The dish is known as beerfish, and
the German carp, praised of epicures, Is
herein treated in a manner worthy OF
the fish 1t must be made with half
beer, or, in the absence of this. with
weiss beer and porter. The fish is cut.
not in half, like shad. but in sections
or squares. Three or four cuts across
the fish are all that is necessary. OF
course the fish must be cleaned.
A large glazed pot is used. A layer Of
large onions is placed on the bottom Of
the pot. On this are sprinkled various
spices; then a layer of substance cali
ed fish pfefferkuchen. which has more
or less fish substance in it and can be
procured at any German grocery or deli
catessen store; then a layer of sliced
lemon; then carp. This is repeated until
the pot is full.
A layer of onions is placed on top and
beer is poured into the whole mass until
all the interstices are filled. 1t is cook
ed for 30 minutes over slow fire, mean
time adding a spoonful of vinegar and
another of sugar. Beerfish is delicious
when it is cooked and served steaming
hot. But its good qualities do not end
here. for after it is cold il offers allure
ments which make it hard to decide
which way it tastes better, hot or cold.

NNNNtF-A-
Tho diminished use Of boots is mat
ter of concern to the manufacturers Of
them and TO tho producers Of heavy
leather and heavy calfskins. Twenty
years ago the calf boot industry was
leading enc in New England.
Whole towns were studded with fac
tories which produced calf boots exclu-
sively. For decade the sale has been
gradually falling OF, and today il is Of
hardly any Importance.
A few manufacturers Of shoes include
boots as a speciality, but the demand is
too light TO amount TO much. When
calf boots were more in vogue, manu-
facturers consulted the partialities of
the cowboys, TO whom price was q sec
ondary consideration.
The legs We're frequently corded with
silk stitching The star and crescent
and other fanciful ornamentations were
inlaid on the legs of the boots. The
soles were inlaid with copper, zinc and
brass nails. The cowboys no longer pay
$50 or $50 for pair of boots They
want substance instead of show But
they were not the only wearers of calf
boots. They Were extensively worn.
Many men prefer them today, though
the number is growing less The old
fashioned stoga boots were formerly
sold in large quantities. They are we'll
nigh obsolete. There followed demand
for lighter and more stylish article.
A kip boot Of lighter texture was pro-
duced about equal in appearance to the
best calf boot, but this, too. has fallen
somewhat into disuse. Where there
were 20 factories producing boots ex-
clusively. there is now bat one. Even
the farmers are using heavy shoes in
stead of boots, and if il becomes a me-
cessity TO wear long legged boots they
buy rubbers.
Twenty years ago the entire product
of Salem and Peabody was heavy boots
and brogan leather. Today there are
less than half a dozen tanners making
it. Brogans and plowshares are indis-
pensable in many sections of country,
but there are comparatively few exclu-
sive manufacturers of these now.
The Creedmore, Dom Pedro, English
ties and creole congress are supplanting
them. The decline in the consumption
of calf boots affects the tanners of calf
skins. 1t is a question what is to be
done with heavy skins. The tanners
must necessarily buy more or less of
them. They cannot select light and me-
dunn weights exclusively, and if they
tan them they feel no certainty of be-
ing able to dispose of them in the fin
ished state. There is nevertheless a use
in this world for whatever is good for
anything, and there will be some way
of disposing of heavy calfskins, though
for the moment it appears difficult to
point out the direction into which they
will be moved. -Shoe and Leather Re-
