TARIFF TINKERING.
German Thinks Chances Are Against
1t Being Done.

New York. Nov Ex-senator German
in am interview accorded a reporter
of the United Associated Presses to-
day on the tariff outlook, said:
The chances are against any kind
OF legislation beyond the appropriation
bills at a short session. The trouble
in the present instance is that the Re
pubIlcans do not know exactly what
they want. The only thing that the
Democrats can do is 30 quietly wait
and see what the Republicans propose. .
Senator German sad he has had no

LAST OF LENTEN FAsTs.
The POpe's Decree AbOIishes a Very
Ancient Custom.
From the washington Post

The year 1856 witnesses the practical
passing of Lent as far as the obligation
of fasting is concerned. On Sunday, Feb,
16. in all the Catholic churches of the
CITY the decree Of the pope was read this
being the first official notice given of the
concession, as far as the archdiocese of
Baltimore is concerned.
But as early as July the order was pro-
mulgated in Boston in the following
words:
I'm answer to petition from the most
reverend archbishops, the holy see, by
an indult given on March 15 1895, for ten
years, has granted to the bishops of the
United States the faculty of dispensing
from the laws of abstinence on certain
DAYS in favor of working people. BY vir-
is permitted on all the days of the year.
Lent included, except Fridays, Ash
Wednesday, Wednesday and Saturday in
holy week and the vigil of Christmas.
This dispensation is granted not only
10 the individual working men and women
but to their entire households. The use
of flesh and meat at the same meal is pro-
1t will be seen by this decree just pro-
mulgated here. that all days of abstinence
in the year, except Fridays and the four
other days mentioned, have been abolished
for working people and their families 1t
is generally admitted that, as a rule, the
Lenten obligation of fasting has. for some
years past, fallen into tnnocuous desue-
tude as far as the wealthy class is con-
cerned. And now the burden resting on
the shoulders Of the poor has been lifted
Very curious is the history of Lent
There is no other practice of the church
surviving through the centuries that has
been more constantly changed and modi-
fled than this yearly fast. Reference to
the rules, published forty years ago,
shows that all days in Lent, except Sun
day were fasting days on one meal; that
ali the Sundays of Lent were days of
abstinence from flesh-meat, except in such
dioceses as were dispensed from the OBJ
legation by the bishop or archbishop pre-
siding
modifying the severity of the Lenten
feast. The present dispensation marks
the most sweeping change of all.
While there is considerable diversity of
opinion as to the precise period when
the fast of Lent was first enjoined as an
obligation. there is no doubt about the
practice being a very ancient one. The
Savior himself tasted forty days, and
it appears to be certain that the apostles
early established the custom of solemn
fast of forty days, to commemorate that
of Christ The essential Of the Chris
tian fast consisted in the making of but
one meal in twenty-four hours. and that
meal at first was taken in the even
ing Later on, the evening repast was
allowed q collation. in the afternoon, the
word collation. originating in the monas-
teries. where the monks called their re-
union and repast 'conatio.

From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Phlladelpnla RECORD.
A Tioga man has probably the most
curious pet on record. 1t is nothing more
nor less than a trained shrimp. One
would scarcely believe shrimp to be pos
sessed of any intelligence yet this little
crustacean, whom his master has chris
tened Neptune, really seems to be a most
deserving little chap. Neptune is the pride
of quite a large aquarium, in which he
rules supreme. He is very fond of music
and when his master places a mouth-or-
gan against the glass side of the aquar-
ium and plays, Neptune shows every
manifestation of joy. He hops around
on his tail and twirls his body as though
dancing TO the time of the music. and
when the strains cease he places his lit
tie nose against the glass as though beg
ging for more His favorite airs are "A
Life on the Ocean Wave" and Rocked
IN the Cradle of the Deep" Neptune's
master has a little stick which he places
in the aquarium, and the shrimp will
play about this for hours, standing on
his head. turning handsprings and doing
other equally remarkable tricks.

FIREMEN's WIVES.
when There is n Big Blaze They Are
Sure to BE on Hand,
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
The life of a fireman's wife is not free
from the gravest anxiety when a big fire
is in progress. Her domesticity is at best
greatly disturbed by the duties of her hus-
band. When she hears a second or third
alarm ring out and the sky is red with
the flames of a fire that means danger
and perhaps death to him, she betrays
a woman's solicitude. At every minute
of the day In some part of the world
disastrous fire is in progress and fremen's
wives are there.
Chief Hale says it is characteristic CT
firemen's wives to go to large fires as reg
ularly as do their husbands. When in the
third or fourth story of burning build
ing he has often looked down to see
little group of firemen's wives and chill
dren. They stay until the end, then say
a good night to the husband and father
and go home. When a wall falls or an
explosion, or any other catastrophe takes
place, the firemen.s wives are there first
to weep or comfort the weeping or care
for the injured.
The night of the Reid packing house
fire firemen's wives walked all the way
from the east side to be there. And a
walk of two or three miles on the night
of a fire in the business part OF the city
is often taken by these devoted women
The firemen appreciate these vigils in
acts of bravery intended only for the
praise OF the little knot Of women and
children who stand with shawl-covered
heads close to the fire lines.
