Pants, March 2.—'Justice is done; honor to the French pork-butchers and to the na- tional pig.” ‘This patriotic ery of the Figaro, I think, will give the true. philosophy of the movement against American pork in France. ‘American pork, as you know, has lately been reported as diseased with trichinosis, and the President ofthe Republic has issued a decree against its importation and sale. It is a measure striking at & most important branch of commerce, ostensibly in the name of the public health, but really, or at least quite as much, in the interests of French protection. It is part of that general wave of protection which is once more passing over all French politics. The ‘Senate, the other day, for instance, introduced the most. restrictive proposals on the importation of iy ‘One word as to the Commercial Club, which 5 Thave heard asserted was a political org American cattle,—-proposals_ so sweep- zation. Itis an orzanization of merchants, ing that it is considered quite i | impossible that the Chamber of Depu- ties can sanction them. This was done in the name of the consumer, though really, of course, in the interest of the native dealer. ‘American pork is going the way of beef, and an attempt is making to show that, while the ‘American pig may suffer from this disease, the French one is above such a weakness. The Figaro has gone to the lensth of iuter- viewing a French pork butcher, who repudi- ates with indiznation the idea that there could possibly be anything the matter with the products that he sells, ‘The only evil, he says, is in giving free course to the commer- cial enterprises of his neighbor, the grocer, who imports the salted food from America ‘This hint has been followed up by most ap palling accounts of the productiveness of the ‘Ameriean worm. A, hundred thousand, it Seems, can find comfortable house-room in one sausage, and each pair can lay 42,000,000 of eggs. Unfortunately, the writer admits in an unguarded moment that a good deal of his knowledge was derived fram observations made on a penal big. The truth is, a3 re- ports from Germany have Jong since shown, that the disease is common to no class of animals, and it was heard of in| Europe long before we had any notice of it from ‘America. The wholesale prohibition of ‘American pork is_an advantage skillfully extractea by the French producer of salted goods from the temporary panic of the moment. But the Presidential decree is so hard in its operation that the Chambers of Commerce of the different vorts chiefly affected by it are sending deputations to the Government to ask for its reconsideration. ‘As it stands, even. cargoes of goods at sea Whieh were shipped before the decree was issued will not be received in vort even for the short time required to reship them to the place they came from. Moreover, the stocks on hand among the retail dealers must not be sold, although the owners offer to give the Government Inspectors the fullest opportu- nity of testing it. One point of the remon- strance is, of special importance: the pro- hibition as‘against American trade fs useless, asthe pork can enter France through En- gland.’ It would be easy to develop a new frade in so-called English products, of this nature, which would be no more than the ‘American products reshipped under another sname. “‘fhis is constantly done in, other articles.

Hale in g communication to THe ‘TrisoNe Says: ‘umyss should be the reliauce of the phy~ sician in all those enses of debility in whieh prompt improvement of the general tone is imperative. Kumyss is the blandest and most eusily digested-foud, und as such the best nour- ishment for a weak stomach; at the same tine, through the process of fermentation which Kumyss undergoes, medicinul qualities are de- yeloped which we vainly look for in materia medica, In titusea, vomiting, extreme eases of dyspepsia, Kumyss’ acts like 4 charm, prowptly relieving all the distressing symptoms of such cases, When sthe stomach rejects all else, Kumyss is retained and assimilated, aifording the patient nourishment, strength, and comfort, and, ng # logical consequence, nervous- ness censes and refreshing sleep follows. In searlet, intermittent, gastric, — and typhoid fever, I prefer Kumyss a3 the exclus- ive dict. It satistles thirst and hunger and allavs the fever. Kutmyss bus considerably tho pd- vantage over drugs, in that it never can do harm. To dose an irritable stomach with drugs igan absurdity whick no intelligent physician attempts in this day. But not only in extreme cases should Kumyss be resorted to; it should be the chief remedy fora weak stomach under all circumstances. Tho dyspeptic brain-worker with a few glasses of Kumyssa day will improve his digestion and his nerve force. Ladies would be less nervous, more vigorous, and bealtbier- looking if they would add to their daily dieta few glusses of Kumyss.” ‘Send for treatise on tations. ‘Arend’s Kumyss is not sold to. the trade, but to consumers only. ‘A.
