be- said the irate clergyman; if I had
him here I'd feel just like shooting
him. Neither revealed his identity,
but before they separated the clergy
man invited Mr.. Bright to go to his
church next morning. and Mr.. Bright
promised to go. And he kept his word,
as he always did. The clergyman took
for his theme Mr.. Bright's speech, and
at the conclusion Mr.. Bright thanked
him for his very able sermon. As he
was going home to dinner friend Of
the clergyman met him and said: You
have been preaching under distin-
guished patronage this morning, then.
No. said the clergyman. 'Oh, yes,
you have. said the friend, you had

went South, remaining q few days and
returning to their future home, where
Mrs. Glenly joined them late in April.
Gladys had already provided her with
suitable wardrobe, and both she and
her husband did all in their power to
make her forget her past with its bitter
memories, and be happy in the present.
The truth was the good woman was
surprised at the warmth and cordiality
of the Northern people, and occasionally
a trife distrustful of her old theories in
regard to them. This Memorial Day
service, however, woke all her old re-
sentiment, and, as we have seen, she
succeeded in making Gladys uneasy
and miserable.
After the services in the Union Gem
etery were ended, the procession re-
formed and marched to the Confederate
yard. Several hundred graves were
here owing to the fact that at one time
many prisoners were sent to this
Northwestern city; and an epidemic
breaking out among them, there was
great mortality.
At the entrance Mrs. Glenly ex-
pressed desire to alight, and soon the
ladies were distributing the floral en-
blems that the elder had insisted on
bringing for these graves. Naturally
enough she bent over each cedar slab
to read the inscription. She felt at
home here, and fearful tenderness
took possession of her as she thought of
the poor fellows dying in this chill
country, away from friends and home.
AS soon as possible Paul Thornton
joined them, carrying the basket and,
like Gladys, watching Mrs. Glenly with
mingled pity and dread.
The latter had taken handful of bou-
quets and wandered away from them
little, when they saw her suddenly fall
upon her knees and lean her head
against slab.

and quickly they we're beside her.

fainting woman, and they read:

Her hands are cold. her face is white;
No more her pulses come and 60;
Her eyes are shut TO life and light;
Fold the light vesture. snow on snow;
And lay her where the violets blow.
But not beneath craven stone
To plead for tears with alien eyes;
A slender cross Of wood alone
Shall say that here maiden lies
In peace beneath the peaceful skies.
And gray old trees OF hugest limb
Shall wheel their circling shadows round
To make the seorehing sunlight dim
That drinks the greenness from the ground
And drop their dead leaves on the mound
For her the morning choir viii sing
Its mathis from the branches high,
And every minstrel voice OF spring
That thrills beneath the April sky
Shall greet her with its earliest cry.
At last the footlets OF the trees
Shall hnd the prison where she lies,
And bear the buried dust they seize
In leaves and blossoms to the skies
30 may tho soul that warns It rise.

Should ask what maiden lies below?"
Say only this "A tender bud
That tried 10 blossom In the snow
Lies witherod where the violets blow

Disabled HORSES.


Many Of Them Eaten IN sandsciches by
London Street Gansf,ss.
/ w. I'll. Ross, secretary to Harrison &
Barber, horse slaughterers, told to a
Pail Mall Gazette reporter that they
have seven slaughter houses in the
metropolitan area, the largest being
that in the York road, Camden Town.
They slaughter $4,000 horses a year.
Whom horse broke limb or sustained
other irremediable injury on the street
the police at once communicated with
their nearest depot. The company had
frequently been charged with cruelty in
allowing manned horses to lie about for
hours before sending men to end their
sutferings. The truth was they were
very particular in this respect and If
such delays occurred it was through no
fault of theirs. Was horse-fesh much
used for food? Yes, to considerable ex-
tent, he should say. Their charter did
not allow of their selling horsefesh for
food purposes. but there were such es-
adjustments in the city. He had him
self eaten horsehesh in France, and at
the company's annual dinner it was
served to the guests, some of whom de-
clared they would not have. known it
from beef had they not been told. Fine
fat horses were slaughtered every week
horses that were perfectly sound, ex-
cept for some accidental injury, and be
saw no reason why this flesh should not
be eaten. He had often seen street
gamins buy slice Of dried horsefesh,
place it between two bits Of bread, and
eat it as sandwich OF course, most
Of the prepared horsefesh passed under
the name Of cats meat, but it seems in
credible that the cats could consume it
all.
Every part of the horse was put to
some use flesh, hide, hair, hoofs, and
bones. Now that (and Mr.. Ross held
up a small vial of beautifully transpar-
ent oiD was horse oil. One would
scarcely think such oil as that could be
got from the horse. Those other bot
ties contained oils of an inferior quality.
They were used for lubricating pur-
poses and for soapmaking. Most soaps
nowadays contained horse grease.
Armed with cigar and an order from
the secretary of the company, our re-
porter made his way to the premises in
York road. The obliging manager said
they had had only four horses in to-day.
But about seven thousand eight hun
dred We're slaughtered here annually.
Most of the animals were cab, bus, or
tram horses. The establishment turned
out about twenty tons of horsefesh
every week. They had forty-six dead
aud twenty-one live horses in now.
They contracted with the various cab,
bus, and tram companies for injured
horses at 80 shillings each, alive or dead.
Most of the live horses they got in were
injured internally by overwork or fall
ing. A few were gone with congestion
of the lungs. The work Of slaughter
ing went on day and night, there being
two gangs of men for that purpose.
Horses were killed at night by three
"knackers. Fifteen horses were con-
sidered good nights work. The suf-
ferings of the poor brutes were soon at
an end, as they we're rendered insensi-

BRIGHT AND the CLERerM4y.

The following incident is related on
the authority of Mr.. w. L. Bright, M.
P; "ATr. Bright went into an agricul-
tural district one day, and he had to
walk from the station long way into
i-e village. On the way clergyman,
who was driving in dog-cart, came up
to him, and the two men passed the
time of day. The clergyman offered to
drive Mr.. Bright into the village, and
Mr.. Bright accepted the offer. The
clergyman was Tory, and he had been
reading speech Mr.. Bright had made
the previous night, and, turning to Mr..
Bright, he said Have you seen the
papers to-day, sir?' Yes said Mr..
Bright. What's in them?' why,
that rascal John Bright has been max
ing another speech. And what was it
about asked Mr.. Bright. Why, So
and-so and so-and-so, and he went on
to relate the incidents of the speech.
Then they discussed the topics and
Mr.. Bright said: Well, it is just pos
sible that Mr.. Bright may have been
right, and that he was only expressing

Mrs. Glenly was leaning on Paul's

her manner was as imperious as of old.

When the girl spoke in that firm way
she reminded her mother more than
ever of her lost husband; and she usu-
ally submitted to her.
That evening they had the story mi-
nutely from the soldiers lips, and after
all these years Mrs. Glenly had the sat

There was no doubt of the truth of

syATLs Is FOOD.

In some parts of England, snails are
still eaten as food-not, it is true, as an
ordinary article of diet, but at stated
feasts. For instance. the Newcastle
glass men we're famous for their taste in
that direction. Every year they held
a sort of gastronomic festival at
which snails figured as the principal
diet. Whether the custom has since
fallen into decay is question on which,
no doubt, local information is to be had.
Simply roasted on the bars of the CRATE
and eaten with pepper and vinegar
snails are declared to be toothsome.
Soaked in salt and water and then
cooked and served after the fashion Of
whelks and periwinkles, they are still
better.

THE TIME LIMIT

CHICAGO, May 24.-By the decisive
vote of 433 to 23S the Methodist gener-
al conference voted Wednesday after
noon to abolish the time limit of pas
torates, thus finally disposing of one of
the most important questions before
the great Methodist body and doing
away with one of the fundamental fea-
lures of the itinerant system of the de-
nomination. Hereafter, according to
the amendment to the discipline adopt
ed by the conference, preachers will be
appointed annually by the bishops with
no limit on the number of years pas
tor may serve one congregation, except
the limit imposed by his own ability
and popularity with his congregation.
He will still be a pilgrim and a
stranger, but now may tarry longer
than five years.
The sub committee on periodicals
has submitted report recommending
that the salaries of all editors be re.

visibility of making reduction in the
compensation paid editors.
