W. J. Bryan a Delegate. The Nebraska Democratic state convention unanimously selected W. J. Bryau to head the Nebraska dele- gation to the national gathering at St. Louis and adopted a? platform which reaffirms the Kansas City plat- form of 190 and places before the public Mr. Bryan’s views of what should be embodied tn the platform of the cosaing natioual convention. Mr. Bryan was himself chairman of the committee on resoiutions and wrote the platform. He bad associ+ ated with him, wen who have beeu his most loyal suppercers. There was ho opposition to tbe adoption of the platform .as read, although one dele- gate attempted to secure the adop- tion of an additional plank pledging Nebraska’s democracy to the support of the nominees of the St. Louis cou- vention, regardless of whom they might be. He was ruled outof order, however, after reading his resolution, There was but a handful of delegates who had not been pledged to the su- port of a reaftirmation of the Kausas City platform and they came from Lancaster, Mr. Bryan’s own county. They cid nut, however, aLtempt to se- cure recognition aud Mr, Bryan sat with the Lancaster delegation while he was on the floor of the convention. The proceedings were characterized by harmony and the delegates at all times appeared anxious to outdo each other in the support of their leaders aud the principles they represented. Several speeches were delivered, amoug them being addresses by Mr. Bryan in support of the platform, by Cougressman Cochran aud the dele- gates selected to the national cun- veution. Don’t Camp in Clearing. Some people may think an old clear- ing is a good place to pitch a tent, Nothing could be farther from the truth. A clearing soon grows up to tall grass and weeds, that shelters mosquitoes and guats. It is tilled wt. bushes that are troublesome to cutaway. The wood supp'y is gener- ally poor, and the clearing is exposed to the wind. ‘The very finest and easiest place to make camp is ona level spot in the woods, where nota tree has ever been cut, and, if possi- ble, in a grove of birches.. tere a few strokes of the ax clears away all the underbrush. The birch makes a lovely night tire. ‘There are bal- sams for beughing the beds, and tent- ing on such a spot is a luxury of out- door life.—Seriluer’s Magazine. A High Lecommendation. For years the Hearst newspapers lave advocated the public ownership of public utilities, a national income tax and rigid supervision of trusts, election of U. S. senators by the people. .Of course, such advocacy is a crime in the eyes of some people, but it should be a very high recommenda- tion for everybody else.—Little Falls Herald.

The antiseptic shaving saloon is the latest achievement in hygienic sci- ence, says Tit-Bits. The victim is seated in an enameled iron chair, with his neck and shoulders enveloped in a rubber pad that has been dipped in an antiseptic solution. Previously the razor; soap dish and brush have been sterilized by half an hour’s hard boiling. Nothing is allowed to touch the face that has not been eithe» sterilized or disinfected antiseptically. Even the finger tips of the operator are dipped in a solution. Taps are turned by the foot, and the drawers where towels are kept are mi-robe- proof. American Brewery in Ghent. An American brewery has been es- tablished at Ghent, Belgium. The en- tire plant of the American brewery, with the exception of some copper ves- sels, has been brought from America. The nine glass-enameled steel tanks, each weighing 5,500 pounds empty and holding 135 hectoliters (3,445 gallons) when full, were likewise sent from America. The beer never comes in contact with the atmosphere. Steril- ized air only is admitted, under per- fect regulation, during fermentation. The yearly output will be about 300,- 000 gallons. 5 When you zee a young man sitting year-old boy that ever frightened him- self in a mirror clambering over his knees, jerking his necktie out of place, ruffling his shirt-front, pulling his hair. kicking his shins, feeling in all his pockets for coppers, while the unresisting victim smiles all the time like the cover of a comic paper, you may safely say that the howling boy has a sister -who is in a room not twenty feet away, and that the young man doesn’t come {here just for the fun of playing with her brother. Religious Zeal Too Strong. John Newdick, a citizen of Kokomo, lnd., is of a strongly religious turn, but Mrs. Newdick is a trifle unregen- erate. The other evening John an- nounced family prayers, but at that moment it was inconvenient for his wife to attend, as her hands were “in the dough.” John was already on his knees, but he arose and thrashed his irreligious spouse, after which he concluded his devotional excrcises with all due reverence. Mrs. Newdick had him up before a magistrate vext morning and nis excess of zeal cost him $25 and costs.—Exchange. Get your Job Work at Hera'd-Review.

The former is noted for very peculiar ideas on the subject of art and the beautt-. ful, and whether the criticism immor- talized on this structure be just and. ict the passers that way must severally form their own judgment. The proprietor who employed his’ services quarreled with Godwin, and to revenge his dis- appointment at the result he inscribed the following lines over the entrance door: “Except ‘the Lord build the house, they" labor’ in'vain that build it. “This House ‘was built by Godwin.” .

Said he: “What I wish to know is how it comes that in this year ot grace, 1902, we——” “As usual,” interrupted Con- gressman Olmsted, “the gentleman is | year behind.

News by the last Indian mail was in- teresting chiefly because of the, re markabie military preparations . tha’ are going on along the northwest frontier which are recorded. Consid- erable sums of money have been ap- propriated for increased \accommoda- tion for the troops that are to re-in- force the garrisons of, Nowshera and Abbattabad north of the..railway line between Rawulpindi and Peshawur; and of Dera Ismail Khan on the west bank of the Indus, 175 miles south of Peshawur. At Attock, where the above-named railway crosses the Indus by one of the finest bridges in Asia, powerful batteries have been con- structed for its protection, heavily armed and the principal one. Fort Attack, has been equipped with electric lights. The works are to be com- pleted by next month, and the garri- son increased. Large sums of money have been ap- propriated in the military budget for »the equipment of the new rifle factory at Ishapore, und for the extension of the central gun carriage factory at Jubbulpore. * The rearmament of the native infantry regiments is also to be completed with as little delay as pos- sil le, a sum of $1,345,000 having been appropriated for the purpose. The re- organizaticn of the Mght and heavy field artillery and the divinion and bri- gade staffs also absorb a considerable sum. To @eet the possible military requirements, the rolling stock on the railways is to receive large additions. The army experimental balloon corps is to be exercised among the hills of the Yuzufzai country by which the road from Nowshera to Chitral, in the direction of the Russian frontier in the nofth, passes. ,GUM PRODUCED BY ANTS. “itheut Their Labors Supply of Qua arable Would be Very Small. Gum. arabic is an exudation from sertain species of acacia. In order to obtain the gum the stem must be cut or perforated: so: that the juice -may exude; and we are told by M. Walter Busse, who has just been investigating the gum:-production of German East Africa, that in the majority of cases this necessary perforation is accom- plished by ants, without. whose labors, therefore, the world could not get its supply of gum arabic—at least with the present ease. Says M. Busse: “Apart from the rare wounds in filcted, accidentally by man, animals storms, etc., all secretion of gum in this country is provoked by ants. The ants perforate the bark of the acacia to gain admittance into the wood where they lay their eggs in the exca vations, which are sometimes of con- siderable extent. | “The acacias with soft wood -gener- ally show few wounds of this kind The hardwood acacias are riddled with them, each perforation being marked with a globule of gum. “The ant that thus produces the gum makes no use of it. It is only an ebstruction to her work, since it stops up the galleries that she hollows out.” —Journal d’Agriculture Tropicale. . How New York Sleeps. New York is a city of infinite varie- ty. There are those who have beds without sleep and those wh¢ sleep without beds. Three thousand of her winter residents slumber in the cra dies of the canal barges that come cack fronf-the canals of New York state, trom the great lakes and Lake Cham- plain, to spend the winter months moored in New York harvor, says Les- Me’s Weekly. In the tenement dis- tricts a man, his wife, and his four, or six, or eight, or more children sleep tn a single room. And one who goes about the city finds many a device for slumber and repose. On Washington street,,on the west side, where the Turks, the Greeks, the Assyrians and the Egyptians live near néighbors to a colony of Irish, is a queer little Ori- ental hotel on the top floor of a tene- “ment, and the proprietor is a man who nce beionged to the retinue of La @elle Rosa, a Turkish dancer of Mid- way fame. Scarf Pin in Cow's Heart The firding of a gold scarf pin im- bedded in the heart of a cow butchered at Carrollton, Ga., for market has aroused a deal of interest. A local butcher who ‘was preparing the beef after it kad been slaughtered male the discovery. The pin had plesced tts way Mterally into the _heav® ef the animal and had evidently been in that position for some time, as it had grown into the tissues of that organ. The cow was purchased by Robert Gaston, a farmer of East End, from Mrs. Wilbur Helton, the wife of a backsmith near that place. She iden- tified the pin as belonging to her, stating. that it had been lost some time ago.—Atlanta Constitution. Water Power on Pacific Slope.
