Watching Their Flight Along the Thames on a Rainy Evening. If the late Mr. Seebohm had wit- nessed the scene which I did on the evening of Sept. 15, he might have added a chapter to that on the migra- tion night on Heligoland, which is the locus classicus of that branch of ornt- It was a dark, dripping evening, and the thick osier bed on Cheswick Eyot was coyered with wet leaf. Between 5 and € o’clock immense flights of swallows and martins suddenly ap- peared above the eyot, arriving, not in hundre but in thousands and tens of thousands. The air was thick with them, and their numbers increased from minute to minute. Part drifted above, in clouds, twisting round like soot in a smoke wreath. Thousands kept sweeping just over the tops of the willows, skimming so thickly that the sky-line was almost blotted out for the height of from three to four feet. The quarter from which these armics of swallows came was at first undis- coverabie. They might have been hatched, like gnats, from the river. In time I discoyered whence they came. They were literally “drepping from the sky.” The flocks were trav- eling at a height at which they were quite invi e in the cloudy air, and from minute to minute they ‘kept drop- ping down into sight, and so perpendic- ularly to the very surface of the river or of the eyot. Ome of these flocks dropped from the invisible regions to the lawn on the river bank on which T stc od. Without exaggeration I may hem fall from the sky, for ng upward, and saw them when first visible as descending specks. The plunge was perpendicular, till they were within ten yards of the ground. Soon the high-flying crowds of birds drew down and swept for a few min- utes low over the willows, from end to end of the eyot, with a sound like the rush of water in a hydraulic pipe. Then by a common impulse the whole mass settled down from end to end of the island, upon the osiers. Those in the cente of the eyot were black with s—like the black blight on Next morning, at 6:30 o’clock, swallow was gone. In half an hour’s Watching not a bird was seen. Whether they went on during the night or started at dawn, I know not. Prob- ably the latter, for Gilbert White ozce found a heath covered with such a flock of migrating swallows, which did not leave till the sun dispelled the mists. The whole army are now, I hope, catching gnats in the Nile valley or beyond the Atlas mountains.—Cor respondence of the London Times. - The Angel of the Home, She does not meke any fuss about it, zor ask to have a reporter at her el- bow. But her sunny heart and self- forgetting love will not let her hands be at rest while there is any bit of helpful service she can render. If she can, without observation, slip the burnt roll or undercrust on her plate, ‘it is dene. If some one must stay at home when there is a day’s outing, she tells, with music in every tone, how ‘glad she will be to be left quietly be- hind and have time all to herself to ‘do ever so many things she has in mind. And none suspect, from word / or tone, how great the sacrifice to give up the pleasure. Her quick eye detects the oversight or neglect on the part of another, and she quickly hastens to remedy the matter, careful that none shall know her hand has made up another failure. Is a harsh round of judgment started by some ill-advised criticism? She deftly and tenderly drops the gentlest the sweetest possible word for the criticised one and switches the conver sation to other topics. Do we not recognize this “angel” We call her mocher, wife, sister. Ip the glory-land they will call her saint. County Superintendent’s Annual Report The following statistics are taken from the annual report of the county superintendent to the state superin- tendent of public instruction for the year ending July 31, 1898: Hereby reaffirm the Chicago Na- tional Democratic platform, and pledge to it their unswerving support until its principles shall have be- come the established governmental policy. We recall with pride the courage and gallant leadership of our late presidential candidate, William J: Bryan. His devotion to the pj ciples of free government and splen- did elucidation of those principles in the campaign entitle him to the last- ing gratitude of the people. We commend as wise, patriotic and brave the actions of our Democratic senators and representatives in con- gress, and we confidently trust them inall the trying emergencies of the hour to preserve the people’s rights while they uphold the country’s hon- or. In the momentous struggle in which we are now engaged every re- source, moral and material, should be employed in a vigorous prosecution of the. war to a triumphant conclu- sion. When our country is engaged in foreign conflict, political partisan- ship should be merged into wnited and enthusiastic support of all meas- ures necessary for the success of American arms. We rejoice in the skill, bravery, martial exploits and fortitude already exhibited by our gallant soldiers and sailors. We gemand that those who may survive shall receive adequate recognition of their valor, devotion and sacrifice, -and we pledge to them that they shall not be forgotten at home while they are tighting our battles abroad. Those who may fall in the fight shali be ever held in that grateful remembrance traditionally characteristic of the American people. We hereby denounce monopolies and trusts as dangerous foes to the peace, well-being and prosperity of the people. We find in the public affairs of Minnesota a political condition such as to cause in the minds of thought- ful citizens grave apprehensions. population and wealth, much greater administration of our public affair: sertion true: control our tural], timber and minera ¥ in itself—frittered theiy true value. 2. They have seen held from taxation. 3. They have seen the farmers, pelled to bear this increased burden of taxtion. 4, They haveseen them subjected railroads, warehouses, elevators and other favored corporations. corporations specially favored have in return controlled legislation, dictated nominations and furnished the money to carry elections. The policy of this class has been to divide and ruin, then conbine, divide and ruin again. 5. Our banking institutions, established to care for the deposits of the people, have not had their condi- tion of solvency or insolvency ex- amined by a competent bank examin- er. Even where reports of insulven- cy were made they have been with- held from public’ view. Througha wrongful combination at the state capitol millions have been lost to oyr people, while the good name of cur state has suffered abroad. 6. The offices of the clerk of the supreme court, oil inspection and sur- veyors of logs have been allowed to demand and receive exorbitant fees, amouuting to about $50,000 annually, which, if at all proper should have gone into the public-treasury. In- stead thereof, they have been used for the most part to perpetuate “machine rule.” oe 7. Our railroad and warehouse commission has failed to fully pro- *tect the people. Unjust discrimina- tions and exorbitant charges in rail- way rates demand proper regulation by this commission. In every portion of the state equal and reasonable charges for transportation should be faithfully maintained. ‘The members of such commission should be no longer open to appointment by the governur but should be subject to election by the people. 7. Weare even now confronted by aspectacle more humiliating. The present administration, assuming to act under the honored party name of Greeley and Lincoln, attempts to pro- vide for its succession and uses there- for the public machinery of the state. The favored corporations name the public officials execute, and thus itis farcically proclaimed that the people of Minnesota are to be allowed to continue in the enjoyment of ‘good government and sound money.” In view of all these and many other wrongs inthe administration of our state affairs, this convention new} Great as has been our progress in we declare that such growth would have been had there been at all times an open, honest and impartial Let facts speak to’ prove this as- 1.

It demands: - 1. That the public lands remain- ing unsold shall be sold only_at their fair value. f 2. That all public institutions shall be managed with prudence and economy, .8, That we shall not lose the fruits secured by the decision of the .|Supreme court in the land tax case. Ry that decision 8,500,000 acres of un- used railroad lands will be added to the tax list. The®increased valua- tion will be from $15,000,000 to $20,- 000,000, annually. We demand that in the threatened, appeal. to the United States supreme court the legal department of this state shall per- form its full duty that the people’s rights may he protected. : 4. Of still greater yalue, perbaps, is the decision of the supreme court in the Steener rate case. 1t estab- lishes the principle that the basic charges for transportation should be no more than a fair income on the cos. of reproduction of the plant. This principle should be maintained at all hazards, and applied in all matters of public franchise. Both these decisions and many others amply attest the fullfilment of our promises made in 1892 in refer ence to the judiciary. 5. Regarding agriculture as one of the substantial foundations of pros- perity. We look with interest upon all forms of diversified farming. 6. We favor the election of United States senators by the people direct. 7. We condemn with severity all partisan appointments to the judiciary. 8, We favor legislation looking to the construction and maintenance of goud reads. 9. We recommend that within reasonable limitations the principle of direct legislation be applied. affairs there shall be at all times wise, frugal and competent government. To the end .that all these wrongs may be righted and all these reforms effected. The Democrats of, Minnesota, deep- ly jmpressed with the solemnity of their cause and actuated only bya stern sense of duty, now call upon all the people, irrespective of former political affiliations, ‘to join with them in one grand and hervic effort to break down ‘the rule rings” and to redeew our state;from its long and oppressive misrule. : Not the Wisest Way.

Quite frequently the remedy is required in the very busi- est season or in the night and much inconvenience and sufiering must be borne before it can be obtained, It costs but a trifle as compared with its real worth, and every tamily can well afford to keep it in thei™home.

I got so weak I could hardly walk or do.anything. One bottle of Chamber- lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy cured me sound and well.— J. R. Gibbs, Fincastle, Va.
