Shipwrecked Men Wungrily Ate a Barre! of Hen Fruit a Day- “Do you like eggs?” was ihe ques- tion that stirred up a “49-er” to make some talk in a Bangor store the other Gay, says the Lewiston Journal. He was an old man and he straightened up to something like the height of his prime and answered: “I had a sur- feit of them once. "Twas many years ago, when I was on the way home from California, We left the isthmus on a good brig bound for New York, but ran into a coral reef in the Carib- bean sea and were wrecked. It was a patch of sand just cut of the water, but you ought to see the flocks of sea fowl that nestied on it! They had to move out of the way to give us room to stay there and that was about all they would do. Their nests were everywhere, and there were eggs in abundance. We ate about a barrel of them every day during the twelve days we were there. Some of us 50t off in « boat and went to San Juan, in Nica- gagua, where he got a vessel to go after those we left on the reef. That vessel was commanded by William Lawrence of Bath, who was killed by a man called Wilkinson while he was a policeman there. We tried to get to the reef, but bad weather stove us up so we had to set in for New Or- leans, where we found the rest of the men rescued by another vessel. But eggs——” the cld man’s face took on a peculiar expression. HUNTING WITH A MIRROR. sted Light, Upon Bires and Eabbits in the Woods. A taxidermist at Nerthwoed, N. Y., has been making experiments as.to the effect of light reflected in a bird’s eyes. A glass seven or eight inches in diam- eter has.been found most serviceable. The antics of blue jays are remarka- ble wher the light strikes them as they sit in the shadow of an evergreen tree, They jump-to another branch and try/ to look into the light, but they have to turn aiway, as the light dazzles them. Then they fly around the reflection but after practice one is able to keep the light always on them, and the birds not infrequently come within the reach of a man’s hand. A ruffed grouse gives a startled look when the light strikes it, Then up it- jumps, and away it goes. Hawks, too, are usually startled or annoyed so that they fly off. Woodpeckers don’t seem to mind it at all. Rabbits blink and stare at a glass for a while, then they go around a stump and sit up again, as if waiting for the light to play tag with them.—New York Sun. Etect of KR ©heosing a Life Partner. The Washington Star tells the fol- Jowing tale of a girl with an eye to the main chance: * “Ti was a difficult matter to make up my mind which to accept,” said the girl with a practical mind. “T understand that both are very bright.” “Yes, They're inventors.” “There is something noble in that profession. I cannot think without the, profoundest admiration of these men who harness the giant forces of nature to do the bidding of the human will.” “Yes. That sentiment applies to William: He’s at work on a flying ma- chine and a new kindof electric en- gine. But oe can’t buy moquette car- pets and dining-room ¢! with fine theories, you know?” “Aren’t you going to. marry Wil- liam?” “No. I accepted John. He’s going to be a rich man, He has am invention ander way for fastening on suspendar buttons so they can’t come off.” ounty Superintendent’ anual J The folowing Sian are tal from the annual report of the ‘count superintendent to’ the state ‘swperin. tendent of public instruction for’ th year ending July 31, 1898: : Bran Rens Trae a DEMOCRATIC SEATE PLATFORM. Hereby reaffirm the Chicago Na- tional Democratic. platform, and ‘pledge to it their unswerving support until its principles shall have bp- come the established governmental policy. We recall with pride the courage and gallant leadership of our late presidential candidate, William J. Bryan. Tlis devotion to the prin- ciples of free government and splen- did elucidation of those principles in the campaign entitle him to the last- ing gratitede 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 Tights 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 ina vigorous prosecetion of the war to a triumphant conclu- sion. When our country is engaged in foreign conflict, politieal partisan- ship should’ be merged into united and enthusiastic support of all meas- ures necessary for the success of American arms. We rejoice in the skill, bravery, martial exploits and fortilude already exhibited by our gallant soldiers and sailors. We demand that those who may survive shall receive adequate recognition of their valor, devotion and sacrifice, and we:pledge to them that they sball not be forgotten abt home while they are tighting our battles abroad. Those who may fall in the fight shall be ever held in that grateful remembrance traditionally characteristic of tne Athericao people. We hereby denounce monopolies andtrusts 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 Jus to cause in the minds of thought- ful citizens grave appreheusious. Great as has been our progress in population and wealth, we declare that such growth would have been much greater had there been at all times an open, bonest and impartial administration of our public affairs. Let facts speak io prove this as- sertion true: 1. During the period of Republican control our people have seen their vast heritage of public lands—agricul- tural], timber and minera., av empire in itself—frittered away ab oa price rediculous when compared ue their true valuc. 2.. They have seen milliohs of acres thu’ obtained wrongfully with- held from taxation. 3. They have seen the facione toilers and producers of wealth com-}| pelled to bear this increased burdea of taxtion. 4, They have seen them subjected to the most merciless exactions of railroads, warchouses, elevators and other favored corporations. ‘These corporations specially favored bave in return controlled legislation, dictated nominations and furnished the money to carry elections. The policy of this class has beeu to divide and ruin, then conbine, divide and ruin again. 5. Our banking institutions, established to gare for the deposits of the people, have not had their condi- tion of solvency or insolvency ex- amined by a competent bank examin- ver. Even where reports of insolven- cy were made they have been with- held from public view. Througha wrongful combination at the state capitol millions have been lost to our people, while the good name of our state has suffered abroad. 6. The offices of the clerk of the supreme court, oil inspection and sur- yeyors 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.” 7. Our railroad and> warehouse commission has’ failed to fully pro- tect the people. ‘Unjust discrimina- tions and exorbitant charges in rail- RY i way rates demand proper regulation | 7 by this commission. In every portion of the state equal and reasonable charges for transportation should be faithfully maintained: ‘The members longer open to appointment by the election by the people. 7. Weare even now confronted by aspectacle mofe humiliating. The present administration, assuming to act under the honored party name of Greeley and Lincoln, attempts to pro-| The favored corporations ‘name the secured by the decision ‘the people, irrespective of former of such comméssion should be no] governor bub should Resuc Colic. pledges. itself to the work of and complete. reform. It dei 1. That the public lands remain- ing unsold shall be sold only at copes fair value. ‘2. That all rule {nsbitutions shal] be managed with prudence and economy, 2 -8. That we shall not lose the fruits of the supreme court in the land tax case. By that decision 8,500,000 acres of un- used railroad lands will be added to the tax list. Theeincreased 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 be protected. 4. Ofstill greater value, perhaps, is the decision of the supreme court in the Steener rate case. 1b estab- lishes the principle that the basic charges for transportation should be no more than a fair income on the cost of reproduction of the plant. This principle should be maintained atall hazards, and applied in all matters of public franchise, Both these decisions and many others amply attest the fullifilment 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 lookiag to the construction and maintenance of goud reads. . 9. We recommend that within reasonable limitations the principle of direct legislation be applied. 10. We faithfully promise that if entrusted with the administration of affairs there shall be at all times wise, fruga! and competent goverument. To the end ,that all these wrongs may be righted and all these reforms effected. 'The Democrats of Minnesota, deep: ly impressed with the solemnity ot their cause and actuated only by a stern sense of duty, now call upon all political. affiliations, to join with them in one grand and heroic effort to break down ‘‘the rule rings’ and to redeem our state from its long and oppressive misrule. “Not the Wisest Way. It is not always best to wait until it is needed before buying a*bottle of Chamsberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Quite frequently the remedy is required in the very busi- est season or in the night and much inconvenience and suffering must be iborne before it can be obtained, ft costs but a trifle as compared with its real worth, and every jamily can well afford to keep itin their home.
