THE income of %he Prince Louis Kfe" poleon, Eugenie's son, is only |8,0X>' «' year, derived from a little property in Illyria left him by the Priilcess Bacclo- chi. The smallness of the Prince's in­ come is the alleged reason for the parents of Princess Thyra refusing to let her marry him, although the ex-Em­ press offered to settle on her son twO- thirds of her own income, or about $60,- 030 a year. 8 *W.

It is argued by those who desire lut excuse for using alcoholic stimulants that it is a taste natural to man, and distinguishes man more than anything else from the beast. Dr. Richardson, who has himself tested the matter, as- aH^ animals upon which he has made the experiment grow fond of alcoholip stimulants from frequent use. One in- stanoe which he relates is o| a hoiM which learned to drink beer. He says: MOne day when I was riding in a hired carriage near to Canterbury, the horse stopped short at a wayside publie house. I asked the driver what that was for. 4 The horse,' said ha, «always stops here for his beer; he wouldn't go by on no account; you couldn't whi» him by, sir, till he has had lus bee*; 5 His former master taught him to drink beer, and invariably treated him to it aft this house, and here he'll stop till he gets it.' It was the fact. A large tank­ ard of beer was ^brought out for th«ft horse, and he disposed of the fluid with as much relish as his master, and thetf went his way. 'It's a shame,' addqd the driver, 'but young fellows from London, who like a joke, and who like beer themselves, will sometimes give him a Apt and make him very drunk. Tht^n he is awkward to drive, and bad +'*r tUree^dpys afterward, anj^.' him more beer to keep costs a lot.'** He fac«r that overworked oxeft in ^ mules) should have selling at 25@2% . . .... „ . .r ^ ,^iito their drinking wir and Vermont tl ilk , , ?. up and make then 'oiirierjQurwl ii, we ha^"^ . afld in ate request, make; choi medium grades a dairy packed Westl lower grudeSa are Cheese is iu moderate niaius the same; the sale 7(o)SH;. lt>. « W wim*.
