In THE SAUSAGE.


In Germany the custom still prevails
thai wives should give their husbands a
wedding ring at the nuptial service in re-
turn for the one they receive from the
man they have accepted. Married women
being generally superstitious as to the re-
moval Of their W wedding rings, 1t VIII
surprise nobody to learn that Teuton
are very touchy as regards the re-
speet paid by their spouses to the token
of they have accepted. II it be
removed from the wedding finger and car
ried about in the waistcoat pocket or
purse, woe be to the husband should ne
be unfortunate enough to be discovered!
A story comes from Berlin about a GER
tain poulterer of Nielsen, the loss OF
whose wedding ring utterly destroyed for
a time the domestic peace Of his home
AtAlast, however, he was aple TO vinoicate
his character. His wife was receiving
money at the till one day when a lady
customer walked into the shop.
sHave you lost your wedding ring?
she asked the poulterer.
The eyes of the jealous wife were fixed
upon him. He boldly replied in the af-
frmative.
"well,' said the customer, with an art
full smile, there it is"
The wife glared.
IT bought a sausage here the other day
and when I cut it up / came across the
ring. I presume it fell from your finger
while you were making s~ausages.'

ERIE R. R. TAXES.
Justice Depue's Opinion in
Regard to Jersey City
Lands Assessed as
Railroad Prop
erty.
CASE ARGUED IN JUNE TERM
Taxes Assessed By State
Board for Two Years Be-
fore Application to Be
Cancelled.

Ar opinion has been filed in the matter
| of the application of the Erie Railroad
Company for a summary determination
as to certain lands in Jersey City assessed
by the local authorities and assessed by
| the State Board Of Assessors as property
used for railroad purposes"
This is the familiarly known fight over
| the taxing of the grain elevator belonging
| to the. Erie co. The property was assessed
| by the State Board at a valuation Of Ss2.-
$50, until 1898 the assessment on the pier
was s55. 100 and the elevator building at
s60o,OO. This was at the rate of half OF
| one per cent. for State purposes, and one
per cent. for local purposes. During the
same period the same property was as
sessed by the Jersey City assessors for
local taxes.
Since these taxes were unpaid they were
adjusted by the Martin Act Commission
ers, and their report July 8, 1885, for taxes
amounting to SIS. Al and interest, se2,
go u, making a total Of ss45, SoI.5s.
The case was argued at the June term
of court before Justices Depue, Ludlow
and Gummere. The Erie Railroad was
represented by Messrs. v~redenburgh and
Garretson; Attorney General S. H. Grey
was for the State and for Jersey City APP
| reared Messrs. Allan L. McDermott and
John w. Queen.
Justice Depue wrote the opinion, which
was flied November 13- Beginning by stat
ing that the premises were owned in fee
by the Long Dock Company, and were
leased to the New York and Erie Rail
road Company, to whose rights succeed
ed the New York, Lake Erie and West
ern Railroad Company, and examines at
length the agreements pertaining there
to-. One, that of the owners and the Rail-
road Company to Jesse Hoyt, giving per-
mission to erect the grain elevator, was
infinitely discussed and the Court comes
to his conclusion:-
I'm the execution of its contract, the
Elevator Company is not operating a
railroad or exercising any of the fran
chises of the railroad company. 1t is
engaged simply in performing a contract
for ~services rendered to the railroad com
pany in executing its contract to carry
Coming to the question of the taxation
bv both State and local authorities, the
first assessing it as railroad property and
the latter as outside of railroad property,
the Court, Justice Depue, says
"We think that the property, consist
ing of the elevator, the pier and the
structures thereon, is not property such

rlr.t school For Chlne.e Women.

The first school ever established for
the education of the higher caste of
Chinese women recently celebrated
It's first anniversary at Shanghai aud
may now be considered permanent
institution aud a complete success.
This school owes it's origin to two
young Chinese ladies who were edu-
Gated in medicine at Michigan Uni
yersity aud returned to their homes
inspired with purpose and determi-
nation to break down the barriers that
kept their sisters in ignorance aud Sc
clusion.
They interested the wives Of several
progressive Chinese mandarins who
had travelled abroad and observed the
condition of foreign women. 4 lunch
con was given at public restaurant
in Shanghai at which, for the first
time in history, high-caste Chinese
women and their foreign sisters met
ON social terms. The plan to estab-
ish this school was discussed the CO.
operation and advice of the foreign
ladies was invited, a committee was
appointed to solicit subscriptions. and
within few months the school was
opened with fifty pupils from the
mandarin families and several foreign
families, as well as native teachers.
The young ladies have made most
astonishing progress i'll the ordinary
branches of n modern education, and
the movement has met with such cor
dial approval that their number will he
doubled during the second year,
which will commence in September
next. Most of them are misses from
five to fifteen years of age, but few
are considerably older, and two are
married women.

Out of the Rnc Rnr

Years ago, before women's clubs
hourished, patchwork quilts and "hit
nnd miss" carpets were made to the
babble of feminine tongues and the
cliuk OF tea cups. To-day, alas, we
are all too busy for such waste of
time, yet really artistic porteries can
be made by knitting long bits, with
two large needles, into one another.
1t is not laborious and is quaint
enough to be interesting. \ beauti-

iinitely nicer than cheap rug OF

wicker chairs, the log fire and the
bowls of Wild flowers in the summer

practical lessons obtained from this
science is the proper method OF keep

method to exclude the air and the
putrefying germs that float in all at

meats and similar foods in warm
