Horse Sense and Sentiment.

Capital stories that will appeal to all who
love and understand the noble animal are
those in Horses Nine by Mr.. Sewell
Ford (Scribners). A trife too much
sentimentality here and there perhaps to
suit some readers-but good. clean, whole
some yarns all Of them. Best Of them
all, we think, is the tale OF the mutiny Of
Barnacles, a white horse Of unguessed breed
and uncertain age. but Of varied experience
and philosophic temperament. Barnacles
was a remarkable hoss,' as his owner ex-
planned when he sold him TO Capt. Bastabol
Bean, late master OF coasting schooners

The Retail Liquor Dealers Association
will meet on Tuesday to plot revenge upon
the upstate farmers for the increase Of
the liquor tax. According TO George +.
0minder. chairman of the executive COM
mittee Of the association, the following
propositions will be considered
Abolition Of lunch counters and the con-
sequent decrease in the consumption Of
cheese.
Increase in the price Of whiskey and beer
By the glass or pint five cents. or decrease
IN quantity sold at present prices.
Purchase of hops outside Of the State.
Chairman Gminder said that the senti-
mont regarding the abolition OF lunch
counters was strong.
We are going to cut out cheese said
he, because the farmers are just smooth
enough to ship their product around
0hrough New Jersey and beat us at our
own game. While we have no fight on

About 100 saloonkeepers of Williamsburg
met In q hall at 500 Bushwick avenue yes
terday afternoon and decided TO put ban
on cheese In retaliation for the passage
OF the Aquor-Tax bill. John Bernard pre-
sided. and the principal question discussed
was that relating to the sale Of beer by
the pint. II was the opinion Of the majority
that pint selling ought to be done away
with altogether and beer sold at Ave cents

The men present decided to hold a mass
meeting in Palm Garden on April II. when
decisive action will be taken. Attention
will also be drawn to the advisability of
doing away with lunch counter altogether
and charging five cents for a sandwich.

Mr.. j. II. Bucks extremely valuable
odd Plate. It's Makers and Marks is
published in a new and enlarged edition
by the Gorham Manufa curing Company.
The title, perhaps too broad, hides the
peculiar merits Of the book. Though 1t
contains general information concerning
plate, it deals especially with a narrower
subject that should appeal much moro
TO the American reader. II traces tho
history Of the silversmith's art in this coun-
try, gives lists OF all the old masters Of
the art and describes infinitely the private,
public. and, above all. the church plate OF
Colonial times. The book is profusely illus
trated and some Of the pictures are very
fine. It il a standard work that must DO

The translator has here attempted to
put the great Chinese classic into the

Chinese metres and forms have been used.
The result, looked at from the viewpoint
OF pure poetry. is not particularly salts

literal fidelity to the text has been the
translator's prime object.
We quote one chapter In which the old
philosopher expounds the meaning OF
Tao-the Way Of Virtue:
