Some file has said that the literature of a people was an index to its character. The literature and press of a country, may mould the character of its people. but he who provides the beef supplies ‘ he brain and culture of the author or editor. Give me the ~pOWer to select the beef of a people, and others may, choose its literature, or its armies, for .with pure, high-bred, wholesome beef I will produce the brains, the culture and the development of the one and the bravery, the manhood, the endur‘ ance and the patriotism of the other. . w,- (éood, wholesome, pure food is en esâ€" .A. .sentlal for the development of the naâ€" ltion. As breeding and the purity of «cur meat products develop, in the same ratio will we increase in intelligence, culture, refinement, prosperity and ' commercial importance.

AN NEW SILK HAT mâ€"nâ€" the Boy! Got Up 3 Little Plot to B." Jay “'ltlu the Purchaser. The young man who prides himself .upon his swell and dapper appearance had just bought a new sill; hat, and it had been sent to the office from. the :hat store. It arrived while he was at luncheon, and one of the boys re- .ceipted for it, and after the messenger was gone hauled out the prize for gend 'cral inspection. It was certainly a beauty, but the man who oannotaflord to wear a silk hatnever sees any sense in any other person wearing one. So the gang got up a little plot to have. toy with the sporty. purchaser. The new hat was stored away in the ’clothes closet, and the office boy was sent to the County Democracy head. quarters to borrow the worst old plus hat that could be found in the room- â€"-one that had been through all the parades for years and had been kicked from pillar to post. The boy got it all right, and it was carefully stowad in- the hat box and placed on the swell youth’s desk. He came bursting in soon afterward and jumped toward the "Oh, my new hat came, did it?" he asked beginning to unwrap the packâ€" age. “Well, say, you fellows can ‘kid’ a silk hat all you want to, but here's one that's aâ€"" He got that far before he opened the box and took out the ancient plug. which looked like a vain regret. Then he made some remarks which are un- fit for publication. I "I'll show ’em" he shouted, while the crowd kept 'up the roar of laughter to indecent limits. “I‘ll let ’em know who they're playing jokes on!" and he jammed the old hat back in the box preparatory to going back to the hat switch again, and one of the boys ment on something very imperat‘ve, while another shifted the hats and put the new one back in the box. Returning from the momentary eon- terence, the indignant young man tied up the hat box and stamped away to the hat store. 4 “What do you mean," he demanded. slamming the box down and nervously pulling at the string. “by sending me an old wreck of a. hat likeâ€"this?” and he pulled out the shining new tile he had bought a few hours before. What the saleman said and thought‘ and what the young man said and real- ized are not necessary to the story.

The bish- op said. “I should be willing to give it, but an introduction from me would defeat the very end you have in view." However, the clergyman persisted in his request and the, introduction was given. The Lord Chancellor received him with fury. “So that awful scoundrel, the Bishop of London, has given you an introduction; as it is he who has introduced you, you will certainly not get the living." “Well, so the bishop said, my lord,” said the clergyman. "Did the bishop say so?” thundered Lord Thurlow. “Then he’s a convicted liar, and I'll prove him so; you shall have the living." And the man go: it.
