The verdict of a jury in Dauphin county, in a case which is fully explain ed in the following news article, as well as the charge delivered by the presiding judge of the court, ought to serve as a warning to corporations and their agents who have a habit of "walking over" people whenever and wherever it suits their purposes. The case was as follows: Uarrisburg. June 14.—"These people had no business there, or no right to plant poles at that place, and not having any right there they were obligod to get away when notified by the owner," said Judge Simonton, in a charge to the jury in a case in the Dauphin county court against four employes of tho Pennsyl vania Telephone Company, on trial for committing an assault and battery on Mr. and Mrs. Jacob F. Kochanour, of this city, who tried to prevent the pole from being placed in front of their property. "It was no excuse for them to say," continued tho judge, "that they were sent there, as the company had no right to send them thero. The pavement belongs to the owner of the property and the company had no right to erect poles. The company seems to think while it is a corporation it can stick poles any place, which is a mistake. Tho highways arc for the public and must be protected. If the jury believos the testimony that violence was com mitted on Mr. and Mrs. Kochanour, a verdict of guilty should be rondored." The jury promptly rendered a verdict of guilty and in imposing sentence, Judge Simonton said: "Taking into consideration that the company sent you thore, we will not send you to pris on, but impose a line, which, if not paid, will bo equivalent to imprisonment." I.onlon'n Hogim Charity. From the Philadelphia North American, London society, fusaily trying to ad vertise itself and attract public atten tion, has boon giving entertainments to raise money for the relief of sufferers by tho Ottawa fire. Ottawa needs no relief, and Canadians resent the "charity" of the West End. Tho Can adian Gazette declares that the action of the fashionable Londoners is degrad ing Canada, which is able to take care of its own peoplo, and, moreover, that an offer of relief to Ottawa is ludicrous, as Ottawa has a surplus relief fund of $600,000, for which there is no legiti mate use. The Gazette concludes: Tho whole business is bad in princi ple. We suggest that the really starv ing and plague-stricken people of India are inoro fitting objects for British charity than are the prosperous people of Canada. That suggestion has been made fre quently, but nobody in London appears to givo much attontion to India's starv ing millions. While America and other nations are raising money to send food to India, England uses her ships and money to send troops and ammunition to South Africa. She can spare mil lions for national piracy, but cannot afford to feed her own subjects who are dying in hordes because of her neglect. A Democratic Paper in riillttilelplilit. Philadelphia Democrats had reason to rejoice yesterday. Since 1800, when the Democratic papers of that city were compelled by the financial institutions and money kings to desert their party and its nominee for president, the Democrats of the Quaker City have been without a newspaper which could be depended upon to treat Democratic candidates and platforms with common civility. This Is now changed. Last week Taggart's Time*, formerly an independent Republican Sunday paper, with considerable prestige in the city, changed owners, and appeared yesterday as a straight-out Democratic journal, edited by one of tho best political writers in the country, Samuel E. Hudson. There are enough Democrats in Philadelphia to support a Democratic daily newspaper, and it is hoped the new owners of Taggart's Time* will place their paper in that class and crush out of existence one or more of tho counter feit organs which, under Democracy's name, are instilling false doctrines and beliefs among the people of Philadel phia and Pennsylvania. PUBLIC OPINION. Opinions From Varloiin Sonrren o UiimtlnnM of Politic Interest. It remained for Mr. Grosvenor to point out the Inconsistency of the gen tlemen who declined to change their minds on the Porto Rican question.- Washington Post. Senator Pettlgrew is branded as a traitor for asking in behalf of the Filipinos what Washington and Jef ferson demanded for the American col onists.—Kansas City Times. With Mr. McKinley a candidate for re-election, the question is to be asked If he has been a dignified, consistent, statesmanlike, self reliant president in his first term of office.—Boston Herald. The Hanna ship subsidy Bteal will tax the people of the United States about $9,000,000 a year for 30 years. Why should such outrageous thefts as this be allowed?— Memphis Commer cial-Appeal. Mr. McKinley should by all means have attended Cleveland's lecture on "The Independence of the Executive." It might possibly have injected some thing of the kind into his own spinal column.—Montgomery (Ala.) Adver tiser. In spite of Senator Hoar's eloquent pleadings against the new imperial and empirical politics of McKinley it is once more in order to quote Lowell's famous line, "Massachusetts, God for give her. she's a-kneeling with the rest." —New York World. If the high officials of the present ad ministration ever knew anything about the Monroe doctrine they have prob ably become so muddled on the subject that it is all a dream to them. They have been trying to teach Monroe doc trine in the Orient and neglecting the uneducated people at home. With 12,200 men thrown out of work by the steel and wire trust, 5,000 thrown out of work by the tobacco trust and 1,000 thrown out of work by the sugar trust recently. John Arch hold's assertion that trusts Insure men wages all the year round smacks of Irony.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Pennsylvania Republican plat form is long. It. contains nearly 2,000 words. But there Is not one word In it with reference to the president's colonial policy. Cuba. Puerto Rico and the Philippines are all unmentioned. Is this a case where "silence gives con sent?" Or does it mean that silence was the price of harmony?—N. Y. World. The men who, like Paul, have gone to heathen lands with the mes sage. "We seek not yours but you," have been hindered by those who, com ing after, have reversed the message Rum and other corrupting agencies come with our boasted civilization, and the feeble races wither before the hot breath of the white man's vices.— Ex-President Harrison. Cruel, barbarous Spain placed a duty of 10 per cent on Porto Rican goods and granted the island representation on a population basis in the Spanish cortes. The enlightened, merciful Uni ted States places a duty of 25 per cent of the Dingley rates—say 50 per cent ad valorem—on Porto Rican goods, and declares that the Island shall have no representation.—Centre Democrat. The Quayltes claimed Dan Hastings went out of the executive chair at Har rlsburg the most despised governor Pennsylvania ever had. But Dan won't be in it with Weary Willie Stone when time forces him to wear the "ex" before his name. For low-down subserviency and general all-around mediocrity Stone is the champion of the day and generation. May there never be an other of bis kind —Clearfield Republi can. If men lack bread, it Is not that God has not done his part In providing It. If men willing to labor are cursed with poverty. It Is not that the storehouse God owes men has fealed, that the dally God owes men has failed, that the dally wants of his children Is not here In abundance. Our trouble lies in that we have given Into the exclusive own ership of the few the provision that a bountiful father has made for all.— Henry George. Our tariff Is for the "protection" of foreign consumers, the fleecing of American consumers and the benefit of the home trust grabbers. Just look at It You can buy American sewing machines for less money In London than in Pittsburg. American lead sells In London for $3.60 per cwt.; In Pitts burg It sells for $4.70 per cwt.—yet we keep up a tariff on lead. We export copper and undersell the world on cop per. yet we put a tariff on It In order to skin Americans who have to use It. —Venango Spectator. There is no good reason why a man should stick to a political party Just because of Its name. Men who believe In the single gold standard, high tar iff and imperialism, are Republicans, and should not profess to be Demo crats. Those who believe in bt-metal lism, low tariff or none at all, and who do not favor Imperialism, are Demo crats. and should not claim to be Re publicans. The Republican party stands for trusts. McKinley was elected by the corporations, and the fruits have shown that the corporations knew their business when they invested their money in him.—Oil City Blizzard. By passing the Porto Rican tariff bill the Republican leaders have driven a powerful nail Into the coffin of the Republican party. Bear In mind that there Is no reciprocity In this. Porto Rico Is now United States territory, and we have Just as much authority for Imposing duties upon products from Alaska as upon products from Porto Rico. If Porto Rico be not United States territory then products from that island must be subject to the same duties as those from Jamaica. A political party that makes such dis criminations as that in the Porto Rican bill cannot live.—Tltusville Courier. SUPPED WITH AN ARAB. UNUSUAL TREAT OF SOME AM ERICAN WOMEN IN EGYPT. No Fork*, No Dishe*, No Chairs, No Lights But the Moon—Tho Fare Good If Not Quite Comprehensible —Washed After Each Course. Egypt is a place where woman, visit ing woman, that is, has souie extra perquisites. Supping In the bosom ot an Arab faintly Is one of them. If the tourist Is on good terms with some dragoman, and Is willing to loosen her purse strings a little, she ought to manage an Invitation to one of these little suppers without much trouble. We went more than four hundred miles up the N'lle and tasted Joy and a dozen other even more unfamiliar flavors at Luxor. We felt none the worse for It, either, except perhaps a stiffness of the knees, none of us hav ing been brought up to It tullorwise. I.uxor Is a hideous Arab village, squatted on a smull purt of the ancient site of Thebes. The houses are roof less, rumbling huts of Nile mud, with queer round turrets for the storing of grain. Most of the inhabitants ure squalid and dirty. It doesn't sound Inviting, and we defy contradiction when we say that It doesn't look Inviting. Our drago mun, whom we will call llussun be cause that was not his name, was about twenty years old, und could spvuk English. The supper was arranged to come on a certain evening, und about 6 o'clock Hussan piloted us from the ho tel through a labyrinth of lanes to his house. Ilasson summoned his female relatives, consisting of quite a collec tion of sisters, sisters-in-law, and an aunt or two. The Arabs evidently think that stars were made before lamps. Later, when the moon climbed up and looked over the mud wall at ns, we were glad that the lighting of the feast had been left to nature. Instead of bringing In the lumps which we expected Hassan brought in an Immense brass tray, which he placed on folding supports. It wash't more than two feet high, this diulhg table, but with considerable cracking of joints we sat down on the cushions which the femule relatives placed for us. One sister sat down with us, so that we were Ave at the table. The female relations, with the SXceptlou of the sister who ate with us, retired to the kitchen to accomplish the supper. Hussan, rid of his dusty outer garmeuts, served the meal. First he brought napkins, and then he brought In one hand u brass howl, la the other a brass pitcher of warm water. We held our hunds In turn over the bowl and Hussan poured the water over them, after which we dried them on our napkins and wondered what would come next. What did come was so much like what it would have been at home that we had a hud mo ment. It was a sort of bouillon, but was served In brass cups Instead of china ones. The resemblance to sou venir luncheons ended there. Hassan soon appeared with the sec ond course. It was a big bowl of rice, and was deposited In the middle of tim table, while a large piece of bread was placed In front of each of us. Not be ing up in Arab etiquette, we observed a discreet inactivity. We expected plates, but were in doubt whether they Would be accompanied by knives, forks or spoons. Our hoßtess solved our doubts by taking a baudful of rice from the bowl and putting It In the hand of her next neighbor. Having fitted each of us with a sticky fistful, she took one herself, and we all fell to. Much to our relief, Hassan brought the bowl and pitcher round again after the rice eplssde. and we had a good wash and felt better. The female rela tives bad not put In an appearance for quite a while, and when the next course arrived we knew It wus because they had been too busy. Hassan brought five bowls tills time, and set them down In a steaming circle before us. Mors discreet inactivity 011 our part, broken again by the hostess tak ing from one of the dishes various chicken Joints and puttng them Into our hands. By this time we bad given up any foolish fancy relative lo plates and knives and forks. The stuff certainly was good. There w-as one dish of chicken cooked some thing after the style of a fricassee. There was a dlsli of pigeons. There was a dish of veal fried with some thing which defied Hassan's limited vocabulary, and must, therefore, be nameless. There wus a cooked vegeta ble wbleb was something like celery, but wnsn't celery. And finally there wss a stew whose Ingredients we fore bore to ask, for It tasted very good, und we didn't want to lose our appe tite for It. Everything was seasoned, well cooked, and so good that we all Joined the hostess in wiping up. with pieces of bread, the bits which re mained in the bowls and eating them with final demonstrations of satisfac tion. The skill displayed by the party after the first attempt led to mutual aecusationa of previous experience In "sopping." Another wash-up (which was much needed) followed this Joyous episode of the bowls. Then Hassan brought on a dish of dates stuffed with walnuts. This gave us another shock It was so familiar, but we bore up nod did grent execution. 80 we sold "Good!" and "Fine!" and "Very nice!" and all the other short words of praise that we could think of. And we nodded our heada and the officiating sister nodded hers, and we could vaguely make out the female relatives nodding theirs back in the shadow. It was "an aw fully lovely iarty."-jMU| N. In PHYSICAL DEFECTS. Look Out For the Ankles of the Little Children. It is not easy to say why so many people have weak ankles. The ankles of children bend in when they walk, and parents, thinking they will out grow the trouble, pay no attention to It. The consequence is that the turn ing In becomes a habit, which is not corrected in later life. Little children should have the ankles rubbed with alcohol if they show any signs of weakness. Young children ought to wear shoes without heels, and the condition of the heels worn by the older ones should be watched carefully. When a heel is worn on one side the ankle will natur ally turn over on that side. Careless ness in the lit of shoes, and In wearing shoes that are turned over, will cause the ankles to turn, and make walking both tiresome and awkward. If the ankles habitually beud either In or out in walking, it is a good plan, when buying new shoes, to have the heels lowered a little on the opposite side. In the same a habit of turning the heels over on one side can l>e counter acted by lowering them 011 the other. To strengthen the ankles and make them supple, thereby rendering walk ing easier and more graceful, prac tice the following exercises: Bend the foot forward, backward, sideways. Rotate it slowly at the an kle. Standing on one foot, shake the other leg from the thigh, letting the ankle Joint perfectly loose, so that the foot moves freely. Rise on the toes, so that the weight is supported by the toes and the balls of the feet, with the liecls lifted high from the floor. Cover for Flower Pot. Here is a pretty and quickly made cover for a flower pot. It is in that ever useful crinkled paper, u medium shade of olive green, and pale coral pink. I'lnce the green paper over the pink, then box-pleat both together, fixing the pleats by lightly tncklng a few inches from each end with a needle and cotton. The depth of the paper and the re quired length when pleated up must, If course, be regulated by the depth of the pot required to be covered. It should be three Inches deeper than the pot, to allow for the frill at each edge stundlng out one and one-half Inch. I'ln the pleated paper round the pot, then fold lengths of the pink paper, and tlx round tightly over the tack- Ings; linlsh each bund with a bow: Full out the pleats at the top with the lingers to make them set in scallops and show the lining. Household Glenanings. Oranges and lemons will keep well If hung ia a wire net In a cool place. A pinch of soda on a hot stove will drive awuy disagreeable odors of cook ing. Spots can be cleaned from varnished furniture by rubbing with spirits of camphor. White silk handkerchiefs must not be dampened, but pressed with a mod erate iron when dry. The most perfectly made pie-crust will not be light unless the pie Is put into a very hot oven at first. Scorch marks may be removed with lemon Juice and salt gently rubbed on the place and put in the sun. If paraflne that has been used over Jelly is carefully wnshed and dried It can be used over and over again. A screw eye Inserted In the top of a broom or mop handle Is far more con venient and lasting than a cord. Lacking beeswax, polish sadirons by dampening brown paper with kero sene and rubbing them over with It. A beautiful canary-colored dye can be made by steeping white clover blos soms in water, setting the dye with alum. Dried coffee grounds answer well for tilling a pin cushion. They do not attract moths like wool, nor mice as bran does. Finger Ring Craze. The craze for linger rings increases, and even imitations are selling aston ishingly. Paris is said to be equally enamored of this fancy. Smart Paris iennes who do not walk when in cere monious toilets have dropped wearing gloves at teas and the theatre In order to show their many and lovely rings, and they are carrying charming little fancy muffs, lined with fur, trimmed with real violets and orchids, and hung by Jeweled chains, to keep their hands warm and white ae well. HOW THE HORSE EATS. JNE OF NATURE'S REMARKABLE PROVISIONS FOR OLD AGE. A Horse's Teeth Wear Down But Al ways Keep Sharp—Use of Saliva as an Aid to Digestion—lmportance of Chewing. | A horse with a "full mouth" has ! orty-two teeth, namely, six front teeth in each jaw, and one tush and six back teeth on each side of e;tch iaw, writes an English veteranariair lln the London Live Stock Journal. Each tooth is covered with a very hard, white and comparatively thin layer of enamel, which in the front teeth forms a depression in the cut ng surface table of the tooth. Hence, when a front tooth comes into wear, Its table has two irregularly-shaped rings of enamel, with soft tooth-sub stance (dentine) between them. In each back tooth the layer of en amel is doubled in on each side so as to form on the table sharp and hard ridges, which project above the soft dentine. The tables of the back teetli slope downward and outward, that I is to say, their inner edges are higher than their outer edges. The action of the back teeth is that of a mill, in which the sharp surfaces of the up per and lower back teeth on each side of the mouth work laterally against each other, and thus grind the food which Is brought between them Iby the tongue and cheeks. As the lower jaw is narrower than the upper Jaw, the horse can chew with his back teeth only on one side of his mouth at a time, which he often continues to do for even so long as an hour, without changing to the other side. A horse is unable to use his front teeth and his back teeth j at the same time; for when he works | his Jaws laterally the front teeth of the lower jaw become separated from those of the upper Jaw. j Each tooth is lodged In a socket of | its Jaw bone, and becomes developed from its dental pulp, which is pro vided with blood vessels, nerves and secreting cells. Owing to the con tinued Becretlon of dentine, the teeth j are forced slowly out of their sockets, which movement more or less makes up for the wear entailed on the teeth by mastication. Our own teeth, on the contrary, re main stationary in their sockets after they have attained their full size. The greater amount of wear under gone by the back teeth of the horse | is compensated for by the increasing obliquity of the incisors with age. As the teeth wear down in time, the layers of enamel of both the front and back teeth gradually become thin ner and weaker, until at last they disappear altogether, or fail to ful fill their purpose as cutting projec tions on the tables of the teeth. Hence, mastication becomes less per fect with age, and as the animal grows old, he becomes increasingly liable to indigestion from the faulty action of his teeth. On an average, a horse takes about nine minutes to eat one pound of oats, and about twelve minutes to consume the same weight of hay. While the food is being chewed, it becomes more or less mixed with saliva, which flows into the mouth j from the salivary glands in response | fo the stimulus caused by the pres [ ence of the food, and which helps the animal to swallow. In horses, the chief source of saliva Is the parotid glands, which are of greater com parative size in them than In all other animals except ruminants. The saliva of the parotid glands consists of about 99.2 per cent, of water. Carpenter points out that the ; size of the parotid glands in animals jis proportionate to the degree in which the mastication of their food is performed; and that these glands are absent In birds, which swallow their food whole. Although dogs secrete saliva abun dantly, starch Is not a component of j their natural food. As the requlre j ments of the horse's digestion de mands that he should thoroughly chew his food, we ought to give it to him in a condition that will Induce him to eat slowly. Furthermore, the amount of saliva secreted during mas tication is more or less proportionate to the dryness of the fodder; for the dryer it is the more saliva will the horse require to enable him to swal low it. j Saliva, being of an alkaline nature, j aids the digestion of fat by forming it into an emulsion, in which the fat Is split up into minute particles. I Saliva contains the ferment pytalln, which has the property of converting starch into sugar, in which form it is absorbed into the body. The action of the pytaline of the saliva on starch is of too brief duration to have much effect; for It ceases soon after the ar rival of the food in the stomach, on account of the presence of acid In the gastric Juices. The digestive changes which the food undergoes In the mouth therefore appear to be more mechanical than chemical. Work Both Ways. "The young men of the present j day," said the elderly person, "have great advantages of the young men of my day, both in education and busi ness training." "But the trouble is," said the young nan, "they have no advantage over no another."—lndinapolis Journal. Boers Using Chinese Tactics.
