LUMINOUS MUTTON.
PhOsphOrescent Glow EXudcs From

PhOsphOrescent Glow EXudes From
Unaffected Meat In New Zealand.
A phenomenon of a remarkable ma
ture has been observed at Christchurch
in New Zealand, writes the Auckland
correspondent of the London Express.
Consumers of mutton have been
moved to alarm on going to their meat
safes at night and discovering the in
terror bright with a phosphOrescent
glow, which appeared to be exuding
from the meat. Scores of householders
have noticed this strange appearance
on the day on which they had pur
chased the meat.
Expert authorities who have inquired
into the matter declare that the phos-
phorescence is Of bacterial origin. 1t
is stated, however, that no injurious eff
fects have been found to arise from
consuming the affected meat.

Mistletoe Myths.

Many English girls believe that they
will not be welded inside of twelve
months unless they have at least one
kiss under the mistletoe. In many
counties a berry is plucked from the
mistletoe with each kiss, and when
there are no berries no kisses are al
lowed. Mistletoe used to be consider
ed a charm or amulet to ward off the
balefuJ influence of witches. 1t was
also considered that it's influence was
irresistible, that no one could possibly
pass beneath it without yielding to its
power, and hence both matron and
maid must submit to the salutatlon

military appropriations are large.

were we'll supplied with everything

played most soldierly appearance.

The Dawson Guards havealready
been provided with handsome over
coats, the counterparts of those
worn by the Pennsylvania soldiers.
The garments were received about
a week ago. At the adiutant gener-
ais Office in Atlanta they are dis
tributing 1000 of these overcoats of
the approved army cut. The coats
were ordered by the United States
government and will be used during
the rough winter weather for out of

Supplied at Cost.
These coats cost $25, 900, and they
were supplied at cost, which isabout
S. A each. They are very hand
some, and have the appearance and
durability Of a 500 garment The
state already had some of these over
coats on hand, but they have recently
received an order of $18, 900 worth.
The coats represent the annual
appropriation made by the govern
ment to the militia of the state. The
money is never paid in cash, but in
its equivalent.
It is even probable that there will
be new uniforms for the state troops
next year,as the state will give $25,
900 in addition to the government
appropriation.

Crosse. The bishop was assisted by
Father James Korczyk of Grand Rap

Polish people in WauSau was burned
in Decent Der, 1895. The present struc-

ter it was completed it was found to be
too small and was enlarged. While the
work was progressing, the pastor, the
Rev. S. A. Ebert was taken away and
the improvements ceased until the
present pastor, the Rev. StanislauS
Slisz, took charge. The value of the
church is $4,000.

which completely changed the appear

misunderstood by some that this
dance was for the benefit of unfortun-
ate Elks, this not being the case.
The proceeds were TO go to those per-

are no Elks who are in circumstances
such that they need this charity.
