LITTLE TOO QUIET.
The FunereaI silence That Persades the
Channel Islands

Jersey and Guernsey are gardens,
saws recent French visitor to the
Channel islands The fields are SO neat,
so carefully kept, that they seem rather
like garden plots. The least corner of
earth is cultivated-the roadsides,
every little hollow, and even an inch
of earth on the end of a rock"
But these Edens are silent, the trav-
eler goes on to say. Now and then
people on the islands smile; but no one
ever laughs. Laughter is unbecoming,
and to laugh aloud would be scandal
Gus.
The birds sing. but not the people.
Even the children are sober-little men
and women rather than children The
trees are yews, Expresses and weeping
willows.
When the people go to walk, they
take to the cemeteries. Lovers eX-
change vows upon tombstones, and
houses that are near graveyards rent
more readily and at a better price on
that account.
I'VE are admirably situated in our
new house, said a young Jersey woman
to the French writer; we are right op-
posite the cemetery, and L can see the
tombs from the windows of my bed
room. In the moonlight the view is
lovely"
And still the Frenchman has to ad-
NIT that there is something very at
tractive in this solemnity and stiffness
The longer he remained in the islands
the less he felt like coming away.

out of the section the men are paid for
their time and sent back to the rice

lar troops, but the knowledge of such
action on the part of the commandant
at interior posts caused me to say it
was but a skeleton"
Mgr. Philibert Termoz, prelate of the
pope, who comes upon an apostolic
mission and who arrived in San Fran
cisco from the orient the other day,
has spent several years in Japan and
China.
The great trouble with China" he
said, lis the lack of patriotism among
the people. In Japan every mothers
son is steeped in patriotism. In China
viceroy and a number of soldiers are
hired to defend the country. They
might be SO many Hessians for all the
patriotism they possess"

HORSEFIESH FOR FOOD.
The Taste for 1t Spreading I'm Europe
Sentiment and Science Against IL.

Sentiment and Science Against IT.
HippOphagy. or To speak less euphe-
mistically, the habit of eating horse
flesh Is spreading in Europe. While
savage man Il known to have Sated his
ravenouS hunger on horSefiesh or any
other variety of flesh he could find.
the modern origin of this peculiar
taste dates from the siege of Paris.
during the Franco-PrusSian war when
the pOpulace were compelled from dire
necessity to sacrifice this noble quad
ruped To sustain life. Many acquired
a taste for the meat and the demand
for IL did not cease with the capitula-
tion of the clty-
1t was To be seen on sale at many
of the butchers stalls. and has been
ever since a staple article of diet for
thousands of the poor OF the French
capital For horSefieSh i much cheaper
than beef. Beef in Paris Is worth
twenty cents u pound, while horsefiesh
can be had for eight cents a pound
which affords a reason why the bar
barous custom should take firm hold
upon these people when once necessity
gave il root.
Once planted in Paris the practice
spread to other continental cities. espe-
cially Berlin. where horSefie.h i con
sumed in considerable quantities 10y
the poorer classes. and the medical au-
thOritieS and humanitarians are raising
their voices against what they Justly

custom.
The medical men warn the eaters of

this disease, 1t cannot always Toe de-

The humanitarians take the ground
OF sentiment, urging the almost human
affection of the horse and the close
companionship he has shared with man
since the dawn of the human race. A

Another Moon.

A city-bred, aforementioned young
ster took his first excursion into the
country with ''fresh-air" party, says
the New York Tribune. 1t happened to
be at the time of the full moon Night
after night the little fellow went out
after supper and sat upon stone behind
the farmhouse, and watched the won
drous orb as it rose behind the trees
Then his week expired. and he went
back to his tenement district. a year
passed, and as it happened the fresh
air fund sent the same susceptible boy
to the same farmhouse. Supper was
eaten, and he slipped out behind the
house and made straight for the stone
in the back yard. But where was the
moon? He looked and looked, till
finally, not in the east, but in the west,
he discovered a slim silver crescent.
The disappointment was too much for
him. and he returned to the house,
weeping. ''Oh, it isn't the same fel-
lerIr he said. 1T isn't the same feller
we had last year."
