HORSE NEAT PATTIES.
After Swlndling His Patrons for
Eight Years q Paris Provision
Merchant Is Caught.

Perdon, a provision merchant OF
Paris, has been justly sent to prison
for eight months on charge of selling
horse patties, says the Paris CORE
spondent of the London Telegraph.
There was no doubt in the least about
his guilt, and he can never be held up
to his contemporaries or to posterity
as the victim of judicial error. The
bordereau in his case was small jar
or pot, which was produced in court.
It was marked outside with the mys-
terious letters an. H." and the magic
words pate de foie gras which general
ly appeal to .epicures.
This alleged pot of goose liver was
simply horsefesh, and, as an official
analyst remarked in court, it was bad
at that. Perdon also sold pots or jars
of alleged patties of duck, pheasant,
quail, hare and lark, but they were all
! of the same foundation. He bought old
horses in the knockers yards, boiled
their flesh, mixed it with little pork
fat, spiced it with nutmeg, ginger and
cayenne pepper, poured some rum
hlISCn VI eau uC VIC OfCI dA0 tuCA
put it into the duly labeled pots.
The letters IN. H." were originally
intended to mean honorable mention,
but being brought to bay in court, Per-
don tried to defend himself by assert
ing that they signified "melange hippo
phagique," and that surely the custom
ers knew what they were buying. 1t
was no wonder that the learned magis-
trate presiding in the correctional
court remarked, with more emphasis
than elegance: "Vous avez I'm rude
toupet (You have hard cheek)." Per-
don had been befooling his customers
with horse patties for the last eight
years. He has now gone to rejoin in
Jail the man who sold skinned cats
for rabbits and dead dogs for mutton.

Lumber Outlook Improving.

The outlook for an improved market
for the lumber and shingles of the
Northwest is somewhat better than it
has been for the last two or three
months, and conservative manufactur-
ers and dealers are now looking for a
definite improvement and steady
advance, though the latter will proba-
bly, not amount to restoration of the
high prices that obtained prior to the
downward tendency that commenced
in the spring. This statement il
made on the basis of general consul
tation with leading authori les in this
city, Tacoma and other places on the
Sound and in Southwestern Washing.
ton.
The causes of the weakness that has
existed have been many, including the
building labor strikes in Eastern
cities, the poor crops in Minnesota
and the Dakotas, the increased output
coming from the establishment of new
mills and large manufacture in this
state, and the lateness of the spring
season in the Mississippi valley and
farther East. Conditions were 81

LABOR LEGISLATION.
recommendations of Industrial Commits
sion to Congress.

Washington. The industrial COM
mission in it's report to congress OF
the labor legislation recommends I'M
proved legislation to the state legis-
latures rather than to congress dl'
rectly.
1.-THE subject Of greatest public in
terest today" says the report, sis per-
haps that Of the regulation of the
hours of labor permitted in industrial
occupations and especially in factor
les.
As congress has no power to legis-
late directly In this matter the com
mittee recommendssthat simple statue
be enacted by all the states regulating
the length OF the working day for all
persons between the ages Of IA and II
years who work in factories. The re-
port in brief says:
"The employment of children below
the age of IA should be prohibited in
factories. The length of the working
day in all public employment should be
fixed at eight hours. The same time
should be hxed for workmen in under
ground mines, except in cases OF emer-
genoy. Employment in mines of chill
dren less than IA years of age and all
women and girls should be forbidden.
Congress might we'll enact that no
person under IL should be employed
as telegraph operator upon railroads
snd that all engineers and switchmen
should submit to an examination for
color blindness, also that it be made
misdemeanor for any engineer Or
switohman to be intoxicated while on
duty. A simple and liberal law regu-
Iating payment Of labor should be
adopted by all the states providing
that sll Iaborers shall be paid in cash
orders without discount, not in goods
or due bills and that no compulsion,
direct or indirect, should be -Sed to
make them purchase goods at any par
