A NEW REBORMER.

They've turned loose a new ''re- fawmer'' over in New Jersey of late. New Jersey is a prolific place for cranks of all sorts, and we are continually hearing of new ones exploiting them- selves. This latest specimen is onto the drink question. and that, let 1t be observed, is a never falling subject with those who think themselves called on to force folks to be good. When all other subjects fail to afford them an opening for getting into the lime- light they make charge on the drink habit
 This latest champion to boise his lance against "the demon rum" goes at both seller and drinker. He holds that as a man must have a license to sell liquors those who drink should also be required to take out and pay for a license. Logic is logic, that's what I say" said Holmes, and that's what we all say. If one man must pay the State AOA pC4AAA48 H. AS 1OI LhO OtuSE man pay for drinking it? True, the man who sells it gets his license money back, and good deal more. but that is his recompense for being aceommo- dating. The man who drinks has to pay twice. but that Is the penalty for drinking the vile stun. don't you ob- serve.
 But that isn't all, nor the last of 1t with this evangelist. He proposes that each man who drinks, expects to drink or wants to drink, must not only take out a license. but must wear 6 badge, indicating that he is a free and untsr- rined punisher of the booze. We are not advised as to the kind Of badge to be worn. It would hardly do to wear a blue ribbon, for that belongs to the people who don't drink and don't want any one else to even wink at the bar keeper. We suppose the kind of badge worn doesn't matter so much, provided the lover of juleps and toddies Is prop erly badged that's the main point If any man suffers himself to forget his badge we suppose he will not only be arrested for violation of the laws made and provided but the bartender will be required to abstain from setting out the bottle to him. It's great scheme, and worthy of New Jersey.

EATING HORsEFLEsH.

The London Lancet. one of the most eminent and noted of English publiea tions. is inclined to approve the use or horseaesh as food. and when we come to think the matter over we may well ask. why not? Why Is not horse meat as good as beef. pork or mutton? It is mostly matter of taste and habit, nothing more. All people eat more or less pork. yet the hog, as Is well known, is among the most unciean4y of all animals. The horse is not only cleanly in habit and food. but is less subject to diseases which can be i'm parted to those who eat meat than cat tie are and for that reason alone the meat would be safer for human con sumption.
 We say that 1t is all mere matter of taste and habit, but we may add that there Is also considerable senti- ment along with 1t. The horse is re- garded as mans friend and companion and in some cases Is almost considered one of the family. Most people would revolt at the idea of killing this faith ful friend and servant and eating hls flesh, It would by many be regarded as little better than eannib alism-eat- ing one's own flesh in fact.
 Opinions differ however, One writer on the subject thinks that, in

THE cALL or NAruRn.

The Philadelphia Record tells a somewhat pathetic story of "Meenie,r an Esquimo boy. who was brought from Greenland by Peary something like a dozen years ago. Says The Record:
 But he aoesn't get back. He is pin free. He ysarns for a sight of the 2 mile thick and that covers most of begging to be taken back. and the heartless Peary. who brought him away, says there Is no room In his ship sS some nm otber tss t s hs th: sks s h ra. sass Ss M.s ss that rssy ss sf. s at a So@s sPS and countrymen and countrywornen. He
 He came with his father. who has since died. He has been kindly treat ed, but he wants to get home. Some says sans sqs swak. K ns p at at nsst ss aaa heas voices calling 'Meenio.' and the voices are those of my people" If New York has any heart. or. lacking that. has any bowels of compassion. or any other vulnerable organ, the plaintive appeals of Meenie to be taken back to his own country might not be in vain.
 We thoroughly agree with The Rec ord that Meenie should be taken back to the land of his birth. He may have been an untutored savage, and in his nature he may still be a savage but he is human and should be humanely dealt with. The home-longing is more over-powering in the savage breast than 1t is in the civilized races. It calls to them from the wilds of their native land and the call is never still ed. This young man, though he may be forced to spend the remainder of his days in this country. will never cease to long for the ice and the snows and all the other familiar objects of his childhood. and If he Is kept here will go to his grave mourning for his native land.
 The reported story that Commander Pear refuses to take the boy back to Greenland on the plea that there will not be room for him on the ship sounds improbable. It is hardly supposable that such vessel as Peary's will not have room to carry one passenger. and one who would be satisfied with any sort of living, if by that means he can see home again. If Peary Is going to or by Greenland he should be com pelled to take the young man there, seeing that he brought him away. The call of the great ice fields is in his ears and nothing will still it but a sight of them.

LETTERS AND THE NAVY.

Men in Cabinet Often Qualified to Army and Nevy Life.
 There Is some connection between the pursuit of literature and the con- duct of naval affairs. It has existed from the days of Charles II, when sampel Pepys filled the efiee of the acts of the navy" or "clerk of the Kings ships" and wrote his piauant naive, and humorous diary. until the lime of Theodore Roosevelt sometime Assistant Secretary of the Navy and author of The Naval War of IsI2| and other literary works
 President Martin Van Buren recor- niEed the relationship between books and ships when, in 1898. he offered Washington Irwin the naval portfolio The honor was declined. Many years later, when visiting in Washington at the house of Secretary of the Navy j. P. Kennedy, Irving was quite talk en with the Navy Department. and dis covered much poetry in it's material and incidents. Undoubtedly. 1t Is one of the most interesting departments of the government.
 The old navy. with its picturesque sailing ships strikingly beautiful un- der their clouds of snowy canvas its perilous voyages in unknown seas to unknown people. and it's gay. debenair. and duel-loving officers. had a charm and romance all its own. The new navies are more prosaie and meehani- cal. Still, their huge battle ships and queer looking submarines have served as it subject of poetry and fiction for recent writers.

PRINCESS VICTORIA

Princess Victoria. the only unmaT- ried daughter of King Edward VII, and one of the best beloved members of the royal family. was born July G.. 1888. She was quite attractive in her youth and many princes aspired to her hand. but the princess had no desire to marry. To her mothers great dis may she always cherished an ardent ambition to be a genuine wage-earner, In 1896 she fitted herself for the pro- fessiop of nurse and announced her intention of entering a London hos pital It required all the authority of her grandmother, Queen Victoria, to induce her to give up this plan. The devotion of the Princess to her parents is touching in the extreme and she hss often acted as a peaeeTnaker between them. Owing to her delicate health the Princess neither rides nor shoots, but she likes tennis. golf and cycling. She is fond of reading and Browning is her favorite poet. She is also an expert needlewornan and has displayed great ability in artistic book binding She owns some fine jewels, notably Q precious pendant, oval in shape, and formed of superb rubies and diamonds. She was specially invited to act as god mother to the infant heir of all the Russias and represented the English royal family at the coronation of King Haakon and Queen Maud
