It has been suggested that in as much as Kansas claims to raise everything that it might raise its.own harvest hands. It really looks as though the high prices for meat might induce some enterprising circus manager to intro- duce the amazing feature of a cow climbing a tree. Just two plain men, Mr. Roosevelt in the east and Mr. Bryan in the west are stirring political waters tremendously for men without office and not even seeking office. Democratic newspapers are just now sympathizing with the work- ingman, claiming that he is the innocent victim ot the tarift law enacted by a republican Congress. These democratic papers say that the workingman pays a tax on everything he eats, wears and drinks, whick is not true. Butat that, those same democratic news- papers do not refer to the time— along in 1893 to 1896— when the workingman could not for the life of him get together anything upon which to pay a tax. Those were real good, old do- mestic days, when the factories were closed and the mechanic and artisan enjoyed a period of rest. He had the pleasure of marching across the country to the music furnished by Coxey’s army band. He was the patron of the free soup house and his couch was found in the police station. The working. men have not for gotten those days of ‘one round of pleasure,” but the domestic newspapers do not refer'to them. We wonder why? Yet they: would-have the working- men vote their return, A WISE WORD TO THE WISE. In an Arkansas paper, Democratic in politics, we find the following ad- vertisement: Keep Your Money at Home. Get your flour, meal and feed at the Universal Mill; by so doing you not only get pure, unadulterated goods and full weight, but keep your money circulating around home and have a chance to get hold of it again. On the other hand, by the buying the cheaper mixtures. that are shipped in and sending your money away there is very little hope of ever seeing it again. A word to the wise is sufficient. Presumably the advertiser is, like- wise a' Democrat, and votes with great regularity to send to Congress a man who opposes the maxim, “Keep your money at home.” That is protection doctrine pure and sim- ple. It is sound doctrine for the Arkansas mill owner and for every man who has anything to sell. That is precisely what a protective tariff aims to do—to “keep your money at home,” where it will circulate, and where you will “have a chance to get hold of it again.” As Abraham Lincoln said: "If you buy an article abroad, you have the article, but the foreigner has the money. If you buy an article made at bomp, you have the article, but the money stays at home.” There is the germ of a good, reliable Southern protectionist in that Arkansas mill man. In the interest of harmony a wealthy resident of Boston is culturing the voices of the rag men who fill the air of the common with uncouth cries. A queer accident is reported from New Jersey, where a maun dropped his reins to kill a mosquito, the horse was scared by the sound of the blow, ran away and the man was hurt. But he killed the mosquito. The forming of a bathtub trust will be popular with the small bny, who will be a voter by and by. That drunkenness is a sickness when he is sobering up, any “wet” practioner will admit. Settling Their Nicknames. “A traveler from Liverpool got hop ping mad the other day because some one called bim a Liverpudlian,” said the city salesman. “I couldn’t blame him, but the man who unwittingly of- fered the insult declares that that is the proper name for people who live in Liverpool. “He pointed out that it isn’t easy to designate the inhabitants of all cities by euphonious names. New Yorker, Londoner, Parisian, Chicagoan, are so obvious that it would be difiicult to say anything else, but how about cities that do not affiliate so readily with ‘er, ‘an’ or ‘ite? “Those are the suffixes most com- monly used to designate a set of na- tives. Take Cork. A man from Cork may be a corker, but that doesn't ap- ply to a whole city full of people; neither does Corkite nor Corkan sound right. “Then there is Memphis. What do you call a man from Memphis, any- how, or from Amsterdam, or Dallas, or Bruges, or Bath? By the time you have studied out the proper appella- tlons for inhabitants of all cities you will be apt to strike something that sounds funnier than Liverpudlian.’— Washington Post. Grim Music. “On one occasion,” said a London actor, “I decided to take a house in the suburbs and after a good deal of bunting about found one that sulted my purse. Indeed. it was so exces- sively cheap that I was on the point of signing the lease at once, when it oc- curred to me that I had better take another look at it by gaslight. That night 1 was making a second tour of iospection and went into the dining room. It was a balmy summer night, and as I threw open the window I heard a peculiar tapping sound. “Knock, knock, knock, *l pricked up my ears to listen. There was silence for a moment, and then the noise continued. 1 turned to the caretaker and laughingly said: ‘**‘See here, my friend, I know why this house is cheap. There’s a ghost on the premises.’ **Oh, no, sir, he answered by way of reassuring me. “That's only the noise from the coffin factory hacross the way, sir. They hoften works there nights.’” He did not sigu the lease. Caught the Jury. “Oratory is, indeed, a lost art,” said a Cleveland man the other day. *“I used to go down to the courts just to hear the lurid speeches. Nothing doing in that line any more. The lawyers do not talk about flowers, rainbows and sunbeams any more. “There was a lawyer in Cleveland years ago—Bill Robinson was his name —whose addresses-to a jury always at- tracted a crowd. I will forever-remem- ber one of his sentences. The man he ‘was fighting in the suit had a reputa- tion as something of a miser. “Who is this man, who is he? thun- dered Robinson. ‘You know and I know that he boils his potatoes in wid- ows’ tears.’ “This phrase caught the jury, and Robinson won his case, but one doesn’t hear any such ‘oratory’ as that nowa- days.”” A Figure Trick. Get some one to put down a row of figures, to add them up and subtract the total, thus: 63.214 These figures added together make 16. Subtract this 16 from the original number and you get 63,198, Now ask them to cross out any one figure, total them up again and tell you the total, Thus, say, they cross out the 6, the total becomes 21. They tell you this, and without looking at the sum you can say the value of the figure which has been crossed out. You do this trick by subtracting the total from the next multiple of 9, “The total,” says your friend, “is 21;” The nearest multiple of 9 above 21 is-27. You subtract 21 from 27, and that leaves 6. To your friend you say in a dignified tone, “The figure you crossed out was 6” And your wondering ' friend believes you to be Ppossessed of occult powers. It doesn’t matter what figures are originally. put down, the answer al- :v_nys comes correct, U Drink Was Getting the Best of Him He Drank a Quart.of Whiskey a- Day- * And Was About “‘All In.” “State Senator James E. Bruce, “Atlantic Iowa. ; *Before I took the Neal Three Day Drink Habit Cure, at night my arms would go to sleep, for my blood did not circulate right, and the muscles lin my legs didn’t work right, they were stiff. I could not sleep and had no appetite for food. I drank a quart of whiskey a day and lived upon the effects of the stimulant. My condition and appearance is so changed that you would not know me now.

Observations on live rattlesnakes- show that the poison glands become functionally active as soon as the snakes begin to shift for themselves, which must be very soon after birth. Experiments on the young ones six days after birth proved the presence of venom in small quantities. Experi- ments made three mounths after birth showed that considerable venom is secreted, as a pigeon innoculated at this time died in two hours with the usual symptoms of chronie poisoning.

" BLINDING A SHARK. A Pe | Diver’s Ruse by Which He Made ' Good His Escape. A successful. diver must possess great courage and nerves of steel. Such a-man ‘connected with a large wrecking company was visiting some years: ago the .pearl: fisheries in the gulf of California, ‘where .sharks abounded. On one of his trips in quest of the pearl oyster he had a narrow escape from q fearful death. He had been instructed never tostir from the bottom until he had looked up and around. Fortunately he heeded the advice. Having filled his bag, he glanced quickly-about'and caught sight of a huge shovel nosed shark watch- ing him. In an emergency men think fast. Near the diver was a large rock. He moved quickly to the other side of it, hoping to dodge the ferocious.monster, but the maneuver did not work. The shark watched every movement, chang- ing his position by a slight motion of his powerful tail. Time was precious, and the diver conceived the idea of blinding the shark by stirring up the mud. Under cover of that he might escape. He worked for dear life and had the wa- ter thick with mud in less than half a minute. Slipping around the rock again, he rose to the surface, having barely strength enough to reach the side of the boat, and was hauled on board just as the voracious man eater made a rush for bim. The Era of Reptiles. At different epochs during the time known as the secondary period the sur- face of the earth seems to have been 80 predominantly peopled with reptile life: that it has been called “the age of reptiles.” The huge Iguanodons stalked or leaped about in the wealds of Sussex and Hampshire. Of- these iguanodons marvelously complete skel- etons are to be seen (mounted in atti- tudes of life) in the Royal museum of Brussels—a sight in itself sufficient to induce a visit to that capital. Other smaller reptiles browsed on the foliage of the then existing plains and were pursued and preyed upoun by fell rep- tilian monsters of various kinds. The sea also swarmed with reptiles (ich- thyosauri) as aquatic as the whales and dolphins of our own day. And not only were the earth and seas thus peo pled, but there were flying reptiles ot different kinds and sizes, known as pterodactyls. A Very Old Rule. The oldest mathematic book in the world is believed to be the “Papyrus Rhind” in the British museum, pro- fessed to have been written by Ahmes, a scribe of King Ra-a-us, about the period between 2000 and 1700 B. C. James burst into a flood of tears. This “Papyrus Rhind” was translated “Please dom’t lick me, sir,” he sob- | by Eisenlohr of Leipzig, und it was bed. found to contain a rule for making a “And why should I not lick you, | Square equal in area to a given circle. pray?” thundered the schoolmaster. |It wasnot put forth as an original dis- “W'y, sir, 'cos I think T've 'ad |COvery, but as the tramscript of a enough!” gasped James. “Yesterday | treatise 500 years older still, which the boy as 1 played truant with and I | Sends us back to approximately 2500 fell out and le licked me, and a man | B- C., When Egyptian mathematicians we threw stones at caught me and [Solved, or thought they had solved, licked me, the driver of a cart we | the problem of squaring the rircle. hung on to licked me, the owner of a =¥ Got Full Measure.
