at Arlon, In Belgium, there is held
in the month of December most orr.
ginal fair. From daylight until dusk
the streets are full of young men and
maidens looking at one another.
These are the merchandise of the fair,
for the fair of st. Nicholas is, accord
ing to an old custom of the country,
consecrated especially to lovers. The
paysannes put on their best and pref
test toilets, for they are there to make
the young men fall in love with them,
and to secure q husband; and to q
looker-on it is amusing to see these
robust young girls, Overlooking with
health, and very often pretty, show
ing off like peacocks preening them
selves, in the midst of groups of young
men, to whom they allow certain
slight familiarities.
When they have made their choice
they adjourn to cafe to settle the
conditions of the marriage, where there
is always heilichman, a curious type
who plays particular role in the af-
fair, who is, in reality, a kind of mat
rimonial agent, cunning as q Norman
householder, intimate with all the
families round, and, strange to say,
enjoying their confidence. This indi-
vidual knows everybody's affairs, their
fortunes and who are the best matches;
he contrives interviews and conducts
all the negotiations; he receives so
much per cent on the dowry of the
bride, the bridegroom making him
present of top hat and q pair of
high boots. When everything is set
tied the young man offers the girl
oranges, sweets, etc, while she gives
her lover pipe, a tobacco pouch, or
something suitable. Before leaving
the town gay groups get up dance,
for certain cafes have announced in
''Bal deuX heures," out of which
one hears awful music and peals of
laughter. AnG this is how the fair of
st. Nicholas passes each year, called
at Arlon "the lovers fair.

LANSING, Mich, March. 20 The act re-
Gently passed by the Michigan legislature
prohibiting the names OF candidates for
office from appearing upon more than one
party's ticket was sustained by the SUI

legislature to pass such an act is con-
cerned. AS to Albert NJ. Todd, of Kala-
mazoo, who is candidate for representa-
tive in congress on the Prohibition, Popu
list and Free Silver tickets, the court de-
cides that it does not apply to Candidate
Todd, as Todd was nominated by one
party and Endorsed by another before the
act took effect.
LANSING, Mich, March &7.-Attorney
General Maynard gave the opinion that
Albert NJ. Todd cannot legally be substi-
tuted as Democratic candidate for con.
gresham in the Third district in place of
Patrick H, Gilkey, withdrawn. Mr..
Maynard says thai while the supreme
court has shown that Todd's name could
not now justly be removed from the other
three tickets, the anti fusion act would
certainly apply to the present question,
Gilkey having withdrawn after said nc
had taken effect.

Drs. Osgood aud Lyman OF the state

returned from the annual meet
ing of the United States Veterinarian
Association at Des Moiues, la, and
report that its members, iucluding the
strongest men in the profession III all
parts of the country, menItested a
lively interest in the subject If bovine
tuberculosis. Nearly an entire day of
the convention was given 10 the con
sideration of the subject, after which
the following resolutions were adopted
without IA dissenting voice:
Whereas, tuberculosis Is an lutec'
tous disease, dangerous alike to man
and the lower animals; and,
Whereas, scientific experimentation
has demonstrated the possibility OF
Transmitting the disease through dairy
and other animal products from tuber-
culous animals; and,
Whereas, the extensive use of tu-
bercuin as dingnostic agent has
thoroughly demonstrated its high
value for that purpose; therefore be
it
Resolved, that it is the Judgment of
the United States Veterinary Medical
Association that it is the duty of sani.
tary boards and other health officers to
employ all practical methods calcu-
lated to restrict this disease.
Resolved, that We regard the tuber-
culiu test rs the only reliable means
now known to the scientific world for
detecting obscure cases Of tuberculosis
on the living subject, and that it is a
reliable test when performed under
proper and we'll known necessary con-
ditions. 1t is further
Resolved, that reliance upon the
physical examination of animals for
the existence of tuberculosis is un-
wise, deceitful and uuwarranted in the
present day.

Insurance Interests.

There seems to be good deal OF
misconceptiou on the part of many
who are insured in the natural premi-
um companies concerning the assess
ments they are called upon from time
to time to pay. Having begun with
certain rate, these persons appear to
think it should be permanent, and
they take it very uukindty, if, indeed,
they do not regard it as Il species of
robbery, when the original rate is in
creased. A protest recently appeared.
The party became member of an in
surance association in 1884, and being
then at the age of 55, was charged at
the rate of $27 per 81, 900 for his in
surance Not long afterward there
was an advance in til ate, and then
another, until his cost per $1,000
was little more than twice as much
as when he joined. OF this increase
he makes bitter complaint, and he
also thinks he has grievance be-
cause the company refused to rein
state him after he had lapsed, though
he was given an opportunity to be ex-
amined for readmission, but failed to
pass. A few weeks ago Commissioner
of Insurance Merrill sent commnni-
cation to each of the life insurance
companies doing business in this
state, presenting IL plan to be
put in operation to stop the evil
of rebating, and requested the COM
panies to let him know whether or
not they were in favor of adopting it
and We're willing to cooperate in car
rying out it's provisions. He has re-
ceived replies from nearly all the com.
panies, and very large majority in
dicate that they are in thorough and
hearty sympathy with the commits
sioner and earnestly desirous of join.
