speaking of any candidate for Office
whom he opposed. One day he hap

candidate whom he was vigorously
opposing at the time, both publicly

ream of blotting paper. Surprised at
the size of the order, the proprietor
asked his customer for what purpose
he wanted such a large quantity.
Glancing at Moran, and raising his
voice so that the latter could not fail
to hear. the candidate replied that he
intended to use it in taking the stains
out of his character. Moran retc4ted:
''It will take more than ream OF blot

CHANCE FOR TIGER HUNTERS,

That Natives Want Them Killed,

Never have there been more deat7is

six months. In one village alone in

which can be reached by the steam

which has lost ten persons on account

some twenty more persons have paid
the penalty of their lives on account
of these ferocious animals
Why cannot some of the Nimrods
of Hongkong inaugurate great hunt
and thus clear out these monsters
which have become a menace to the
Chinese? Innocent women and laugh
ing children would be forever thank
full to any one who would deliver
them from this curse, which they
dread so much.
The Chinese seem to have no skill,
in exterminating or catching these
willy beasts. or perhaps they feat to
molest them. lest the tiger spirits
may injure their persons in the fu-
ture. Be that as it may, it is a great
shame that not more than one hun
dred to one hundred and twenty miles
from Hongkong. within easy reach,
these wild beasts are permitted to
carry on their depredations. Let
those who delight to shoot the inno-
cent and harmless birds once try a

TOO MUCH TEA HARMFUL.
English Physician Classes Beverage
With Alcohol.


AS England is a nation of tea drink
ers, some vigorous words on the tea
habit lately spoken by DR.. John H.
Clarke, London physician, have at
tracted much attention. 1T would al
most SEEM" says DR.. Clarke, that
the human animal is determined to
assert his superiority over all the
rest of creation by the ingenuity. he
displays in discovering or manufac-
turing pleasant poisons for himself
The great majority of mankind are
the slaves of one or more poison
habits. OF these habits the tea habit
is one of the most subtle. insinuating
and injurious.
1T is a mooted point whether tea
does not do more harm in this country
than alcohol. 1t does not make it's
victims drunk and incapable but it
certainly does make them drunk. To
be saturated with tea, to be con-
stantly under its influence, to be de-
dendent on it, is to be tea drunk.

LAND OF THE PARIS cAsMAN.
Pace to Which He Returns With His
SAVINGS to End His Days.

1t is popularity of Paris, which
every visitor who knows enough
French to tell one dialect from another
must have noticed, that nearly all
Paris cabmen come from the same
part of the country. The same thing
is true of coal merchants and of deal
ers in roasted chestnuts, who come
from Auvergne; of the goatherds, who
hawk their milk about the streets,
who are Breton peasants, and of many
other trades.
The cab drivers land is probably lit
tie known TO Englishmen. 1t is down
in the Aveyron. and Rodez is its capi-
tai, tiny village, where the worst
language and the best hearts in all
France are to be found. The eldest
of each family in Rodez takes the land
and the paternal cottage. The old
folks live with him until their death,
and the younger sons go to Paris and
drive cabs.
For years they drive about in all
weathers. scraping together sou by
SOU until they have gathered enough
to go home and pay for their board
and lodging for the remainder of their
days. They go with the elder brother
to a notary on the first day of their
return home, and sign a deed by
which he is bound to keep them for
the remainder of their days in idle
ness in return for their savings.
There Is an old priest in Rodez who
thoroughly understands his flock. He
never asks them to enter the church,
but chats with them outside it, and
breaches informal sermons as he
thinks fit. A few days ago deputa-
ton of men took him plaster statu-
ette of st. Fiacre (falsely believed to
be the cabmen's patron saint, whose
rake-for ST. Fiacre was really gar
dener-they had cut away and substi-
tuted a tiny cabman's whip.-London
