The tariff act Of 1894 contained
clause prohibiting the Importation of
hides and cattle into the United States.
The president was, however, allowed to-
suspend the prohibit in the case Of
countries free from contagious animal
diseases. The suspension was made by
proclamation. The law, as matter of
fact, allows the government discretion
ary power as to the importation of all
cattle from foreign countries. This pow
er has been used by the president in q
way to shrivel up the hopes of several
European countries, notably France and
Germany, that wanted to bar out our
cattle and at the same time have the
privilege Of sending whatever animals
they chose to this country. Our consul
at Havre lately stopped very neatly a
fine shipment of blooded cattle which
was about to be made to the United
States from that port.

Farmers Who Helped Themselves.

:
Fifteen years ago the agriculture class
Of Denmark saw bankruptcy staring
them in the face. They had been famous
wheat raisers and supplied much Of its
bread to Europe. But the opening Of the
vast wheat lands in America, in Russia
and in South America took away their
trade and left them stranded. They
were in the same condition in which
wheat farmers of the northwestern
United States find themselves today.
Ruin stared the farmers Of Denmark
in the face. They looked it in the face
and then calmly resolved to down it. If
Europe did not want their wheat, they
would raise something Europe did want.
It is only just to say the Danish govern
ment seconded their efforts in every way
| it could.
The wheat farmers of Denmark re-
solved themselves into dairy farmers,
live stock breeders and poultry raisers.
They went into these things with all
their might. There are today not less.
than 325 in Jutland, the chief dairy and
live stock region. They hired scientists
and experts who could tell them how to
make the best butter and cheese in the
world and how to pool their products on
the cooperative system. They learned
to make the very best hams and bacon.
Today not only Danish milk and butter
commaad the highest price in all the
cities of Europe, but Danish hams and
bacon do the same. The farmers Of DEN
mark are happy and prosperous, and they
found the way out Of the wilderness
themselves.

Between Two Wives.

a hatless man, clad in a white shirt
and Light trousers, seen coming over the
wall of the North cemetery, Fall River,
about 2 o'clock the other morning, gave
two patrolmen q slight attack Of
s shakes, but they braVely approached
him and, finding him real flesh and
blood, questioned him as to his strange
appearance and actions. They learned
that the man had had trouble with his
second wife early in the evening, and
that he had gone to the grave5of his
first wife While there he had fallen
asleep. He was on his way home by the
shortest route when seen by the police.

Wonderful Japanese Nation.

The contracts entered into by the Jap
anese government with American ship
builders call for the construction of two
Warships, one at San Francisco the
other at the yard in Philadelphia And
when these ships are finished and taken
home the Japs will at once proceed to
build IN their own navy yards as many
more vessels as they need Of the same
pattern, probably improving on the
model. The skilled japanese ship me-
ehanics employed to do the work will
be paid at the rate of about 25 cents
day. What people can stand up against
q nation like this?
The japanese seem to be the coming
race. In 1885 their foreign trade was
SIS, 100000. In 1895 this marvellous
people ran it up to $296, 900, 900, that,
too, with the Chinese war upon them.
That war did not seem to diminish by
a dollars worth their sales of manu-
factured goods to foreign countries
With the great expenses upon them Of
maintaining their army, those at home
still were able to make and export over
$22, 900, 900 worth Of silk, cotton, linen
and woolen cloths. The women carry
on the silk and tea industries of the
whole nation, peasant women living in
their little huts.
Living is SO cheap throughout the
country that manufacturers all over the
world will find it cheaper to move their
plants to Japan, manufacture their
goods there and export them to western
lands. The Japanese can make anything
anybody else can, and some things other
| nations cannot produce

Physicians who have a long list Of bills

Physicians who have a long list of bills
owing to them by patients should take
q lesson from the new leaf some French
doctors have turned over. In the depart
ment of Herault the physicians are
joining, in a pledge that they will not
attend any patients who are able to pay
and will not do so. To protect them
selves each doctor makes a list Of his
own particular deadbeat patients The
lists are collected and printed in book
called the Black Book. All any ply
sician has to do when he receives an un-
known case will be to consult his black
book and dismiss the dishonest person
without treatment. Even when they take
refuge in charity dispensaries the names
of the deadbeats will still stand against
them, and their only recourse will be to
change their names That cannot easily
be done in France, where the registra-
tion Of vital statistics is more exact
than anywhere else in the world. On
the whole, it looks as if under this sys-
tenn physicians would not annually lose
from half to ne-third Of the money
that is justly owing to them. 8.

Burlington, n. J., June 16.-A bomb has
been thrown into the camp OF the liquor
men of this city by a decision rendered
by Judge Dixon or the supreme court. as
this decision will render the sale of liquor
in this city Illegal.

George s. Wells. Thomas S. Wells and
Hays b. Falkenburg to keep an inn and
tavern were considered and the license
granted. a number OF the temperance
people. beaded by Theodore F. Ellis, Ir--
certioraried ti,ecase to the supreme court on
the ground that the excise board had no
authority to grant a license. as they had
never passed an ordinance or bylaw en-
poweriDg them to do so.
The decision OF Judge Dixon sustains the
contention of the temperance people, and
declares the license null and void. There
are now twenty-three drinking places in
the city in whcn the business is conducted
under licenses granted by the board. There
is a good deal of upeasiness manifested as
to tue outcome. as it is expected the tenn.
