Four COurtship Sundays.

The four Sundays of November are
observed as fete days in Holland.
They are known by the curious
names Review, Decision, Purchase
and Possession and all refer to matri-
monial affairs, Novembe in Holland
being the month par excellence de-
voted to courtshlp and marriage,
probably because the AZ ricultural oc,
equations Of the year are over and
possibly because the lords of creation
from quite remote antiquity have
recognized the pleasantness of having
wives to cook and cater for them dur
ing the long winter.
On Review Sunday everybody goes
to church, and after service there is a
church parade in every village, when
the youths and maidens gaze upon
each other, but forbear to speak.
On Decision Sunday each bachelor
who Is seeking wife approaches the
maiden of his choice with ceremon-
ious bow and from her manner or re-
spending Judge whether his advances
are acceptable. Purchase Sunday
the consent OF the parents is sought
if the suit has prospered during the
week. Not until Possession Sunday
however. do the twain appear before
the world as actual or prospective
brides and grooms.-Denve YER News.

A CONSERVATIVE QUEEN.
Victoria IL Opposed to Any Changes
or improvements Al Wind
sOr Castle.

In the center Of the main hall at Wind
sor castle is Queen Victoria's private
elevator. which is made of oak and up-
holstcre;t III crimson and gold. In con-
nection With this elevator it should be
remembered that, owing to advancing
age and the attacks of acute rheuma-
tism, from which she has been q life
long sufferer, her majesty uses wheel
chair when traversing the long dis
tances which separate her apartments
from the state rooms of the castle, but
in her own private room small ebony
stick or the arm Of an attendant is in
requisition. In many places on the
Windsor estate, such as her private
apartment at the kennels, the steps
leading to the rooms have been replaced
by carpeted slope for her greater con-
venience, says the Pittsburgh News.
In regard to repairs and renovation
of the castle rooms, it may be men,
toned that innovations are strictly for
hidden. For instance, should new cur
tains or carpets be required for room,
there is fixed set of patterns, and each
article must be a duplicate of that
which it replaces. On no account may
the entire renovation of a room be I'M
dertaken all at once. It must be done
piece by piece in her majesty's absence,
so that it never loses it's look of homi-
ness.
The CRATES are invariably filled with
beech logs, which are brought from
Great NARROW and used throughout the
castle for both private and stateroom
fires, her majesty having an invincible
objection to the use of either coal or gas
in any Of her apartments. Of late years
electricity has been sparingly intro
duced into Windsor castle, but the
greater part of the artificial light is
procured from wax candles.

THE APPEALS REPLY.

In response to the INDEPENDENTS
request for information, in regard to
the truth or fa)sity Of the Gazette's
charge that the decision of the Su-
preme Court in the Governorslip
contest was not published as origin
ally read and filed by Judge Bonni-
field, the Carson Appeal publishes
the following:
The Appeal did not think it neces-
sary to reply to the charge made in
the Gazette, for it supposed that any
one seeing them would only have to
turn to the printed opinion published
In the Appeal at the time to find a
complete refutatiop Of them. The
full text of the Kennedy and Para
disc rulings appear in the printed de.
cision just as they were originally
written by Judge Bonnifeld.
The iusinuation that the Appeal
did not print the decision in it's en-
tirety is refuted by the following:
Arthur Morris, Deputy Secretary
OF State, in response to query, said
yesterday: GAS Deputy Secretary Of
State read the proof of all Supreme
Court decisions before publication.
Il read the proof of the decision in
the Mcmillan Sadler case and it was
printed word for word as it was filed
in the Office of the Clerk OF the Su-
preme Court.
IL am positive that nothing was
omitted. 1t is also recorded in the
records of the Court and anyone who
desires to compare the printed copy
with the record can do so at any time
during Office hours"

they would have accepted autonomy

ably doing well as far as supplies are

MEAT FOR EUROPE

Mr.. II. l.. Swift. travelling manager
for Swift q Co., Of Chicago, ON his re-
turn from view Of the European mar
kets, gave the Dover's Journal the fol-
lowing pleasant picture Of the outlook
for our meats abroad
1.-THE Americon meat export trade
next year will reach such proportions
that even the most sanguine houses In
the trade will be- amazed. The hue aud
cry about embalmed beef and poisoned
meats has had really no detrimental Of.
feet on the foreign trade. On the CON
trary, the foreign importers look upon
the whole thing as simply political
dodge. Our meat has passed muster,
and even the Germans, who are jealous,
cannot put up any logical argument
against the American meat. American
beef of finest quality can be placed on
the foreign market at 4 10 10 cts. u
pound, wholesale, while the English or
Continental slaughterers cannot possi-
bly, place their goods on the market at
less than H. cents. IL has only been
within the last few years that fresh pork
has been exported 10 foreign countries at
all, but now American fresh pork II ~
important ON the German, Holland and
British markets as the salted or picked
article.

Much depends ON the weather, but with
all things equal, the American meat will

Remarkable as IL may seem, the
American meat packers and meat pro-
duct manufacturers are invading Ger
many with sausagos. The American

have entered, their goods are invariably
the best and most expensive. The Ger.
