The little island of Crete in
the Mediterranean sea near the
Greecian coast. will probably
contain the fuse that will ignite
the European train of explo-
sives that will open up the long
smothered general war. 1t
will first appear as a war be-
tween the Christian andss1he
Turk, but before the end of the
strife has come we may expect
to see the Russian Bear pitted
against the other principal ma
sions of Europe. The time
for such an event seems pro-
pitious and cannot be deferred.
With both the famine and
plague in India under full
Roadway and a great conlinen-
tai war in Europe imminent,
a da'k prospect is opening
for W ,rld at large during the:
coming summer.

From the National Capitol,
we are advised that Cleveland
late nominations for post1nast.
ers and other Offices within his
gift are now "hung up" 1.-THE
Senate. This is not so much
the fault of the Republicans as
the silver Democrats who see
no good reason why todies to
an un-American administration
should be rewarded with a
present of feather beds for their
unfaithfullness. Also the fond
hopes of the fourth class post
masters tossecure a'life tenure.
by being placed in the civil SER
vice is vigorously dissipated.
Time is too short for Cleveland
to attempt to purify this branch
of the service by wedding out
all the incompetants and ras-
calls. President Mckinley will
attend to that business.

The Oalx WAY.

NJ. William Spark in his Musical
Memoirs" tells story Of the famous
Wesley which was related to him ty
Mr.. Bishop. the London organ builder.
Wesley was q great extemporaneous
fugue player, and on the occasion TO
which Mr. Bisl,op referred had been
asked to show of . new organ by play
ing . voluntary at the afternoon service
previous to the reading Of the first les
son. Before going to the organ he asked
the vicar, who was an amateur organ
ist, how long the voluntary should last.
"Oh," replied the vicar. ''please
yourself, Mr.. Wesley: Say five or ten
minutes, but we should like to hear as
much Of the different stops a. you can
obNge AZ with"
When the time came. after few pre-
ltminary chords, Wesley started fugal
subject, which he worked ont In mas

BILE organist started . second subject,

HORSE MEAT DEFENDED.
A Authority Clsinns Prejudice Prohibits
Its General Use.

A Authority Claims Prejudios Prohibits
Its General Use.
Everybody 10 aware that the horse is
the clesnest Of all domestic animals. It
will not eat anything but good, healthy
food. nor drink any but pure water. A
horse would rather starve than swill
the rotten stuff often given to pigs and
cattle. It il nothing but prejudice that
prevents us from eating horsellesh.
A similar prejudice retarded tho IN
PRODUCTION Of the potato 100 years ago.
Today we could not get along without
1t. Yet the prejudice against potatoes
can be explained. The people had been
told ti:..s this American root caused
fever ind rendered the ground unfit for
all other crops. The exception against
horsedesh is not even founded upon any
objection to its properties. 1t is solely
due to the influence Of the church. The
clergy did everything possible to pro
vent the newly converted Saxons from
returning to their heathenish practices
and prohibited the use Of horseaesh to
stop the sacrifices to Odin and Thor. A
long time passed before these sacrifices
were altogether discontinued.
The nations Of Europe have suffered
enormous loes by this prohibition Of
horsefesh. Especially from the humans
tartan point Of view the results are most
deplorable. Millions Of people are forced
TO live ON potatoes and similar food
wanting in nutritive qualities, while
millions Of pounds Of the very best meat
are wasted. Horsedesh is the most
nourishing Of all meats, and it's taste 10
hardly to be distinguished from that Of
beet. Tho flesh Of horse fed On oats
has . smell similar to goosehesh. The
fat is preferable to lard. Above all. It
