ADVICE TO ALLIANCEMEN.
IHXY AIM- DIRECTED TO RF.AD THE NEWS
l-Af’KllK AND KEEP POSTED.
The president of the Aiken, S. C.,
Central APinnco Club, and one of Ai¬
ken county’s most successful planters,
gives the following advice to Alliance
men: “I de-ire to oil 1 the attention of
Alliancemen to a resolution adopted by
the National Alliance at St. Louis. Tbii
r solution sets forth, as a reason for om
financial troubles, the pernicious banking
system of our government, wbieh is run
almost exclusively in the interest of capi¬
talists and manufacturers, enabling them
to control the volume of currency at the
time when our crops are coming Into mar¬
ket, thereby increasing the purchaeing
power of money and decreasing the value
of agricultural products, making the
of profits the year’s arising labor from the into toil and anxiety
go th° pockets of
tho-e vrfio have not labored for them.
Now the plan set forth in the St. Louis
Convention is designed to meet and over¬
come this evil, and also to serve as a
bisis of union and create a concert of ac¬
tion which will wipe out sec.
tional animosities and cement till
Interest of the whole country.
The farmers and wage earners are greatly
in the majority in this country, and it is
only accessary for them to know and un¬
derstand their rights, to have them se¬
cured, and we should see to it that our
senators and representatives enact such
laws as will give us ample protection.
We frequently hear the fear expressed
that the Alliance will run into politics,
putting good iricniu office, who understand
We hope it and will, at least to the extent of
our wants will enact such Jaws as we
need. In this age of newspapers and
telegraphy any one who remains in igno
ranee of and indifferent to the financial
and industrial picstions of the
day cannot be, in the true sense of the
word, a good citizen, but is guilty of a
culpable neglect of duty to his country,
his family and to His own self. Not that
we would have every man a crossroad
politician, (nr frem it, but we woulfjhave
one, take an intelligent interest in ail
questions which affect our well-being.and
in order to do so we must read the papers.
They are cheap and efficient educators.
In their columns all topics of importance
are discussed and dissected, and the care¬
ful and thoughtful reader is not likely to
be duped or made a pliant tool of by de
,limine men.”

PONY SAUSAGES.”
The Use of Horses’ Flesh for
Human Food
French Experts Consider It of
Great Value,
Jean Guetlin Is an Alsatian manu¬
facturer in this city, and an ex-officer
of the French army, says the New York
Star. Ife has had much experience in
the use of “pony sausages’’ while in
service in France. "While dining in one
of those curious little Parisian restau¬
rants which are so common in the mid
die quarter of New York, he gave the
following interesting expcrier.cs about
lior-c meat ai a food:
“The use of horse meat,” he said,
“in ottr country and elsewhere is much
#lder than is umtUy believed. It has
been a food among many tribes of Tar¬
tars, Cossacks and other eastern races
from time immemorial. Its use iu
France is at least 30 years old. In
1830-0 both our government and that
of Prussia made a scriei of very
thorough and scientific experiinen s
upon the subject of foods, with refer¬
ence to provisioning largo bodies of
men. The ssinclusiom reache l by the
scientists employed were the same in
almost every experiment. With one re¬
sult Americans are already very familiar,
and that is the manufacture of artificial
butter (oleomargarine) directly from ani¬
mal fat. With the other two experi¬
ments you have some familiarity ia this
country. They arc the manufacture of
liquors from raw spirits, or as "we cal’
it ‘industrial alcohol,’ and the making
of cheap wines from raisin', dried cur¬
rants and elderberries.
“In regard to hoise meat, our ex¬
perts declared that, although it was
tougher and courier than beef, it was
more nutritious and wholesome, espe¬
cially when cut up into a pulp. The
report, at the time it was published,
aroused some interest aud created auy
amount of fuj. The numerous papers
invented no end of sued phrases as ‘a
cutlet of a colt,’ ‘a fricasseed fetlock,’
and the like. A number of seekers
after novelty trie 1 various dishes pre¬
pared from horse meat, and a horse
eating club was formed early in the
sixties. The siege of Paris and the
bitter civil war of the Commune made
what had before been a matter of curi¬
osity one of absolute mceisity. In
those sad days I do not know how
many thousand horses were killed and
eaten, and how many millions tasted
equine flesh. Alter the first surprise
was over wo found it vary good food.
Roasted, broiled or fried it was tough
and stringy, excepting where a young
animal was killed. Boiled, stewed or
steamed, it ivas tender, juicy and very
easily digested.
“It was duriug those times that it
was first cut up, seasoned and made in
the form of saiuagrs. These became
popular, aud are used to-day in all
parts of France in vast quantities, and
in smaller quantities in Belgium, Hol¬
land, Germany, Switzerland, Italy aud
Spain. A horse sausage in color is
brighter than a beef one, such as an
every-day Frankfort, and looks very
much like those made from pork. Be¬
ing cut very fine, it loses all its tough,
ness, just as a Hamburg steak doe*
which has been male from the shank
of a baef. While our authorities may¬
be mistaken, they are of the opinion
that a horse saimge digerfs in oae-haif
the time require l by pork in tlie same
operation.
“A 9lill more cogent fact lies iu the
economy of llic articie. H .>rse3 are
very healthy animals, ami much more
robust than most of those animals u;ed
for food. They seldom break down
from disease, but almost always from
accident of some kin 1. Our present
practice is to kill the animal if he is
severely injured, and to reader the fat
out of her carcass. Every day horses
weigiung from seven hundred to twelve
hundred pounds are sold from $5 up
ward., or less Ilian one cent a pound.
Beef, on the other land, brings almost
tive times ns much. It would be a great
saving, therefore, to utilize horses for
food purpose! when they can no longer
ile utdizid for draught purposes and
are healthy. It would afford the poor
an inexhaustible supply of cheap and
wholesome nourishment, and by reduc
ing the demand for beef would tend to
clieapen that article.’’
Mongolian Coffins.
The heaviest wooden ci.ffi is u.ed iu
the world are those of the Chinese, and
coffin-making is one of llic leading in¬
dustries in every Ciiinc-c city. C ffi is
cost ah tho way .nm $5 to $55,000,
and your r ch JfauJnriii will have his
burial ca-ket lacquered inside an! out,
and his funeral will cost a small fortune.
If he is over sixty he w 11 keep his
ctftii on hand, so as to have it ready
in case of his death; and if he has a
dutiful son thi: c ffi ; may possilly be
a birth lay gift from the l>oy. Many an
old Cain am ill keeps hii c ffii ia ;:is
parlor. Tho w od of the Chinese c. ffi -
is from four to six inches thick, and a
ci ffi i weighs huadrcdi of pouud-. It
is usually cairicd cn a sort of frame
work of poles to the grave, and it is ac
companie l by a band of ram c and pro
feisional mourners. The man i* laid
at fu 1 length wilh-.n it and a lot of
stuff is buried with it. Each of his
nearest relatives is supposed to bring a
silk coverlet to put over the body, ami
a dozen silk quilts are sometimes packed
in above the corpse. The thing that
the corpse liked most in life is buri.d
with him, aud many Chinamen save
the parings of them nails and the comb
ings of their hair iu order that they
may be jut at their feet when they lie
in their ci ffi s. In the mouth of the
body a piece of gold, or silver, or cop
per is placed, it is dressed in silk and
is often decked with jawels.
Grave robbing is so severely punished
m China that there is littie danger of
the coffins bring disturbed. la case
the family ia too poor to own a burial
mound or to stand the expenses of th«
funeral, the coffin is kept in the house
Untu the r caa raise ® one J eaou g :i to
I put it under the ground ia good style.
A tutor employed at the Amciican
legation iu Peking has had the ccffii
containing his father’s body ia his
house for at least two years, and he has j !
not yet been able to raise enough money
to bury it. Before he picks out e
burial spot he will, like all Chinamen,
get a fortune-teller to choose a lucky
place for h m, and he will go periodi
cally to the grave and burn some paper
money over it and s< me suits of paper
clothes to keep the spirit of his father
warm, and will place some food before
it that his father may have a ghostly
feast during the night. Japanese cof¬
fins are often made of burnt clay in the
shape of large jars. The body is all
doubled up when it is squeezed into
the coffin, and it is buried in a sitting
posture. Tlie coffins of Japanese babies
are little pine boxes, and in tho case
of the poorer classei it is not uncommon
to pack them full of lime iq order that
the bodies may decay more quickly.
S metimes tubs of pine hooped with
bamboo are used for coffins, and the
c ffins are broken with the spade of
the undertaker as he puts tlitm in the
earth. The Burmese coffin is a fl msy
affair made of the lightest wood nailed
roughly together. In the caso of the
richer dead it is covered with gilt
paper, aud it is carried to the grave
with fantastic dances and doleful music.
The funeral ceremonies are much the
same as those of the C.iiaese, and for
seven days after the burial the family
sit on the ground and sleep upon mats.
All over the .East this same mortification
of the flesh is practised by the relations
of the dead, and grief for departed
friends is iuhy as hitter in Asia as iu
the United S ates. — Chicago Time*.
Women in Office.
Nearly one-third of the total number
of employes of the government iD
Washington can bo found in the bureaus
•of the Treasury Department. Al¬
most as great a number are employed in
the Interior Department. But it is in
the Treasury Department that most of
the women are found. Tho Agri¬
cultural Department employs very few,
although the pretty seed clerk is a
favorite subject for the parngraplier.
During the season when seeds are dis¬
tributed there are about one hundred
women employed in putting them up in
form for mailing. The place where
women apply most often for employ¬
ment is the Government Printing Office.
This office is not under the jurisdiction
of the Civ.l Setvico Commission, and
there arc employed m it nearly a thou¬
sand women. They do all sorts of
work, both clerical and mechanical.
Iu the Bureau of Engraving and Print¬
ing are employed less than five hundred
women. The Bureau, however, is under
C.vil Service rule, and appointment to
positions there are made from the list of
eligible! who have passed the Civil
Service examination. Some of tho po¬
sitions in the government printing
office, for which women are fitted, are
very desirable, and one of the greatest
difficulties with which the public
printer has to cope is the constant
effort on the part of men in public life
to obtain appointments to these posi¬
tions for women.
A rule of the departments is thal
preference shall be given at all times to
unmarried women aid widows. In
fact, a married woman very seldom ob¬
tains a position of any character if hei
marriage is known. Instance! are
quoted of clerks who married those
who were employed in the same office
with them, and who successfully con¬
cealed the fact of the marriage for an
indefinite period. The most prominent
married woman now in the service of
the government is the wife of General
Morgan, Commissioner of Indian Af
fairs, who acts as private secreiary to
her husband. The wife of Dr. Dor
Chester, the Superintendent of Indian
Schools, is a special agent of the In¬
tcrior Department, working under the
direction of her husband in the i.nspec
tion of Indian schools. No woman had
ever been employed in this capacity bs
fire, but Dr. Dorchester says the ex¬
perimeut hai been of enaiue it sucoess,
aa q that he finds his wife’s assisiance
iuvuluable. By permitting the ap.
pointmeat of Mrs. Dorchester and JIis,
Morgan. Secretary Noble has tacitly in¬
dorsed the decision of Postmaster-Gen
era! Vilas, and befors him of Attorney
General Brewster, that raairiage does
not disqualify a woman for government
work.

CHILDREN'S COLUMN.
THE HONEST OLD TOAD.
O, a queer little chap is the honest old toad,
A funny little fellow is he;
Living under the stone by the side of the
road,
’Neath the 9hade of the old willow tree.
He is dresstd all in brown from his toes to
his crown.
Save his vest that is silvery white:
He takes a long nap iu the heat of the day
And walks m the cool, dewy night.
“Ranp, youp!" says the frog,
From his home in the bog.
But the toad he says never a word;
He tries to In good, like the children
should
Be seen, but never be hear 1.
When winter grows near, Mr. Toad goes to
bed.
And he sleeps as sound as a top,
But when May blossoms follow soft April
showers
He comes out with a skip, jompandhop;
He changes his dress only o ce, I confess—
Every spring, and his old worn-out coat,
"With trousers and waistcoat, he rolls in a
tall,
And stuffs the whole thing down his
throat.
‘‘K-rruk k-rrnk!" says the fr ig.
From his home in the bog,
But the toad he says never a word;
He tries to be good, like the children who
should
Be seen, but never be heard.

ENCOURAGING EXAMPLE.
A contributor to feature recounts the
following instance of animal sympathy
and instructive example:
Some years ago we had two cats, a
tabby and a powerful tom, perfeetlv
white all over. One day I happened to
be in the attic, and noticed than go
out on the s ates, when Tom jump d
across the yard to the next roof. It
appeared to me a splendid leap, con¬
sidering the width of the yard and the
height of the roof.
When Tabby came to tho edge of the
slates her courage fuiled : and she
uttered a cry of distress, whereupon
Tom turned rouud and leaped back
and, giving a cheerful mew, as much
as to say, “Look how easily it cm bj
done,” jumped across again, this time
foilowed by Tabby, to m/ "W‘t de¬
light.
THINK BEFORE YOU 8TRTKE
I remember reading in in/ boyhood,
says a wv.ter in Yankee Blade , about a
merchant travelling on horseback, ac¬
companied by his dog. lie di? mounted
for some purpose, and acc.dentally
dropped his package of money. The
dog saw it; tlie merchant did not. Ti c
dog barked to stop him, and as he rode
farther, hounded in front of the hors“,
and harked louder aud louder. Tlie
merchant thought he had gone mad,
drew a pistol from his holster and shot
him. The wounded dog crawled back
to the package, aud when the merchant
discovered his loss and rods back, he
found his dying dog lying there, faith¬
fully guarding the treasure.
Tne following little story, told by a
friend of mine, is not as painful, but
adds force to the thought, “T.iink be¬
fore you strike any creature that cannot
speak:’’
“When T was a boy, I worked for »
farmer, and was given a sp in of horses
to plough with, ono of which was a
four-year-old colt. Tile' colt, after
walking a few steps, would lie down in
the furrow. Tne tanner was provoked,
and told me to sit on the colt’s head, to
keep him from rising, while lie whipped
him ‘to break him of that notion,’ as
he said. Bit just then a naiglibor
cam ! by. He said, ‘Tnero’s somitiiing
wrong Here; let him get up, and let us
examine.’ He patted the colt, looked
his harness, and then said, ‘Look at
this collar; it is so long and narrow,
and carries tlie harness so high, that
when he begins to pull it slips back
and chokes him so lie can’t tr.atiic.’
Aud so it was; and but for that neigh¬
bor, sve should have whipped ai kin 1 a
creature as we had on tlie farm, because
he lay down when lie could not
breatha.”
It was only the other day 1 heard of
a valuable St. Bernard clog being shot,
becati c, having a wound on his head,
concealed by tlie hair, he bit a person
who handled him roughly.
Boys, young and oil, please remem¬
ber that these creitures are dumb. Tney
may he hungry, or thirsty, or col 1, or
faint, or sick, or bruised, or wounded,
and cannot tell you.

It stands on the North avenue side oi

The style is knowu as the “F einish

Harvard Hall. It was intended to
harmonize with that old building.
The gateway comprises eight large
square brick posts and two larger ones
on either side of the driveway. These
posts are capped with lignt sandstone,
and are connected with sections of iron
work. Of course the driveway is in the
centre, and entrances for pedestriaus fl mk
each side. Each of these passageways
is closed by a heavy iron ga e, those in
the driveway being double. Tee style

The dare of the Eyes.

I. you bend downwarJ you not only
gorge the eyes wiih blood, but tho
brain as well, an.l both stiffir. The

enable you to look at things horizon¬
tal y, not always vertically.
II vc a reading lamp for night use.
N. B.—In reading, the light should be
on tho book or paper and the eyes in
the shade. If you have no iciding
amp, tuin your back to the light, an l
you may read without danger to tho
eyes.
Hold tlie book at your focus; if that
begins to get far away, get spectacles.
Avoid reading by the flickering light
of tlie firo.
Avoid straining the eyes by reading
in the gleaming.
Reading in bed is injurious, as a mle.
It must be admitted, h wcver, that in
cases of sleeplessness, when the mind is
inclined to tamble over a thousand
thoughts a minute, reading steadies the
thoughts and conduces to sleep.
Do not read much in a mi.way car¬
riage. I myself always do, however,
only in a good light, and I invariably
t arry a good icaoing lamp to hook on
behind me. Tiiousands of people would
travel by night rather than by day if
the companies could only ses their way

! Carving on Cork
j New York is learning the Swiss art of
carving on cork. The material is bought
ia its rough state and a piece of the re¬
quired si?.,- selected. It is sandpaper then put
tnrouiih a course of knives,
and enrey dust until a smooth surface is
obtained; then the landscape, marine
view or other designs arc worked out
with small, tine-pointed knives and
h : se!s. after which it is touched up with
water colors. In Europe most of this dif
.. .i;t work is done by men, but, from all
earning accounts, in some of our American girls arc
lor honors in the near future.
in an architect s office on Broadway one
of the draughtswomen carved out sev
era! models in cork for which she received
both praise and a goodly sum of the
needful. The task of carving in cork is
rendered especially diffcult because of the
iuijterfcctnes of the material and its
exceeding there brittleness. In a ton of the cork
ferial might not l>e five pounds of in ma- this
perfect enough to he used
fire class of work. The steadiest of
nirves is also a part of the programme
of success, as the slightest slip of the
knife or chisel is death to the result.
At the Paris Exposition.
Among the many wonders there is none
[hat shows more accurate scientific knowl¬
edge on the part of the makers than the
enormous globe on which the earth’s sur¬
face is depicted. The diameter is forty
two feet and the surface is live hundred
uid twenty-five square feet, and these fig¬
ures are said to represent just one mil¬
lionth of the dimensions of the great
original. The scale permits close detail.
Large cities have the outlines and some of
their all drawn principal thoroughfares expressed,
bites to scale. Everything that re
to the earth, its geography, its polit
ical divisions, all its means of communi
cation on land or sea, is shown. The
globe is made of stout pasteboard, iu four
hundred pieces, covered with plaster,
fastened to a skeleton of wrought-irou
libs, • , and i although i.i , . ■ ! heavy,
it i> very so
finely adjusted is the balance that it will
turn at the lightest touch. If it were ro¬
tated at the same velocity as that of the
earth, its movement would hardly be visi¬
ble, as a point at the equator where the
speed would be highest would move at
the rate of only an inch a minute.
The Old, Old Story.
A tittle cough: a feeling ill;
A headache oft; a July chill;
A slower walk: a quickened breath ;
A frequent talk of coming death.
No strength to rise from day to da> :
From loving eyes he fades away.
Now lifts no more the weary head.
The struggle’s o'er: the man is dead.
Such is the fatal progress of consumption, X
