Mr.. Seth Green says that one morn
ing when he was watching spider
nest. mud wasp alighted within an
inch or two of the nest, on the side OPP
posite the opening. Creeping noise
lessly around toward the entrance TO
the nest. the wasp stopped a little
short of il, and for moment remain
cd perfectly quiet. Then reaching out
one Of his antenn@. he wriggled it be-
fore the opening and withdrew it.
This overture had the desired effect,
for the boss Of the nest. as large a
spider as one ordinarily sees, came
out TO see what was wrong and TO SET
il to rights. No sooner had the spider
emerged to that point at which be was
at the worst disadvantage, than the
wasp, with quick movement, thrust
his sting into the body Of his foe, kill
ing him easily and almost instantly
The experiment was repeated on thu
part OF the wasp, and when there wa
no response from the inside he became
satisfied. probably. that he held thu
fort. At all events, he proceeded Il
enter the nest and slaughter tn
young spiders, which were afterwar'
lugged OF one at a time.

"How shall restore the color 10
my flannels ?" is a question often asked
by housekeepers whose clothes have
been ruined by the bad treatment OF
indolent, incompetent washerwomen.
A solution Of 4 pounds Of white soap
and Z of an ounce of spirits on ammo
mia, dissolved in twelve gallons of soft
water, will impart a beautiful and
lasting whitencss to any hannels dip
ped in il, no matter how yellow they
may have been previous to their i'm
mersion. After being well stirred
round for a short time, the articles
should be taken out and well washed
in clean, cold water. For washing
black and navy blue linens, the fol-
lowing receipt is said to be an excel
lent one. Take two potatoes, grated
into tepid soft water (aiter having
them washed and peeled into which
teaspoonful of ammonia has been put.
Wash the linens in this and rinse them
in cold blue water. They will need nc
starch, and should be dried and ironeC
on the wrong side. 1t is said that al
infusion of hay will preserve the ma
tural color in buff linens, and an iniu
| sion of bran will do the same 70
brown linens and prints.

The Eaecf O( Cener.

DIR. Richardson, the eminent Eng
lish scientist, in respect to the popn-
lar notion that coffee is unhealthy bev-
erage, that it keeps up constant irri-
tation of the stomach, and brings ON
depression Of spirits, etc., says; There
is a great deal of truth in that state
ment, as coffee cannot be taken in ex-
cess without producing dyspepsia and
irritation, but moderately used it is
an invigorating, healthful and whole
some drink, bringing mans best ener-
gies into play. The quantity taken.
however, must not be large, and
should be good.
DIR. Book, of Leipsic, another cele-
brated scientist, says; The nervous
ness and peevishness Of our times ara
chiefly attributed to tea and coffee:
the digestive organs of confirmed cot
fee drinkers are in a state Of chrome
arrangement, which reacts ON ihs
brain, producing iretful and lachry
NOSE moods. Fine ladies addicted IL
strong coffee have characteristic
temper which | might describe us
mania for acting the prosecuted saint
Cocoa and chocolate are really neutra
in their psychic effects, and are reail,
the most harmless of our fashionable
drinks.

"Iffffe Phil"

Judge w. NJ. Beckner, OF the Win
chester Democrat, writing from Wash
ington, ID. c., says:
One of the brightest and most pop
ular men here is Capt. Thompson, Of
the Harrodsburg district-Little Phil
as be is more familiarity called. lie
is so manly, clesr-headed, vigorous,
game and faithful, that you are bound
to admire him more and more as you
become better acquainted with him.
He takes conservative, prudent view
Of everything, but never gives up
when convinced that a measure Is
right.
Congressman, where they regard their
obligations, have too much work to
do. They are claim agents, pension
agents, must look after all applica-
tions for office, act as guides for visi'
tors from their section. attend COM
mittees, and keep posted about every
kind of legislation. They have hard
row to hoe if they would satisfy their
constituents and yet acquire any stand
ing here. Many people at home think
they are doing nothing if they do moi
make many speeches, and yet If they
do speak often, they are voted bore'
by their colleagues.

Wcjghing dn Elephant without
ScOfce.


An Indian writer related an inter
esting anecdotc concerning Shajee, the
father OF the fret ruling prince Of the
Mahraitas Of liindostan, who lived at
about the beginning Of the seven
tenth century. On one occasion a
certain high official made a vow that
he would distribute TO the poor the
weight of his own elephant in silver
money; but the great difficulty that at
first presented itself was the mode Of
ascertaining what this weight really
was: and all the learned and clever
men Of the court seem 10 have en-
deayored in vain to construct a ma.
chine Of sufficient power TO weigh the
elephant. At length II is said that
Shsjee came forward, aud suggested a
plan, which was simple, and yet in
genious in the highest degree. lie
caused the unwieldly animal to be
conducted along a stage, specially
made for the purpose by the water
side, into fiat bottomed boat; and
then having marked on the boat the
height to which the water reached af.
ter the elephant had weighted it down,
the latter was taken out aud stones
substituted in sufficient quantity to
load the boat TO :he same line. The
stones were then taken to the scales,
and thus. to the amazement of the
court, was ascertained the true weight
of the elephant.

Remedy for Consumption by the
Hon. Ellis G. Schnable, published, !

been many times printed in the Sun.
For the Benefit Of many subscribers
we reprint it. His recipe is five

older the better. The whisky must
I've distilled in the old-fashioned way

develops the latent poison Of the berry
and fills tho system with fusil and
other deadly oils. Colored rock candy
is poisonous. Clear white rock is pure
crystallized sugar, the most nourish-
ing Of all substances. The demUohn
should be well shaken, and the mix
ture is not to be used until the candy
is dissolved. The patient may take
wineglassful on going to bed, and
two-thirds as much on an empty stom'
ach in the morning. lie can carry a
flask in his pocket and take a spoonful

sweats will disappear and the patient
will get long and refreshing sleep
while taking this cordial. The pa
tient must limit his diet; all vine
gars, pickles, sour wines, malt drinks
and salt provisions must be avoided.
Touch no fresh pork, for it promotes
liberation. DO away with coffee, for
it feyers the blood. Use black tea.
Eat roast beef rare, broiled steaks,
mutton chops well done, toasted bread
and all kinds Of vegetables. The
greatest object is to enrich the blood.

Benson j. Losing, the historian, In
Scribner's Magazine. thus relates the
origin Of the West Pointers uniform;
In the course OF a conveyance with
the late General Scott in the library
Of the Military Academy % West
Point, in the summer Of 1862, the
veteran gave to the writer nm account
of the origin, Of cadet Gray, as the
cloth worn BY the cadets is called.
While stationed at Buffalo in the
summer Of 1914 General Scott wrote
to the quarter-master for a supply Of
new clothing for the regulars. Word
soon came back that blue cloth, such
as was used in the army, could not be
obtained owing to the siringency ofthe
blockade and the embargo, and the
lack Of manufactures in the country,
but there was a sufficient quantity of
gray cloth NOV known as Cadet
Gray') in Philadelphia.
Scott ordered It to be made up for
his soldiers, and ia these new gray suits
they marched down the Niagara River.
on the Canada side, in the direction
of Chippewa. It was just before the
battle known by that name. which &C
CURED in July. General Rial, the
British commander. looked upon them
with contempt when preparing for
battle on the morning Of the 9th, for
the Marquis Of Tweeddale, who, with
the British advance. had skirmished
with them all the day before, had re-
ported that they were only Buffalo
militia, and accounted for their fight
ing so well and driving him TO his in
trenchmenls north Of the Chippewa
River by the fact that twas the ami
versary ofthe American Independence
that stimulated them.
On account Of the victory won at
Chippewa on that day, chiefly by
those soldiers in gray, and in honor OF
Scott and troops, that style Of cloth
was adopted at the Military Academy
at West Point as the uniform Of the
cadets.

Hon. W. =. Walton, Of the STAN
ford INTERIOR JOURNAL, went fifty
miles out of the editorial way TO offer
a friendly cotemporary a stupid af-
front. Here it is-silly as it could
be: "The Danville Tribune, which,
without the Republican campaign
fund, could not, perhaps, live six
weeks, speaks with great pomposity.
The reckless and wretched accusation
is as inapplicable as it is unjustlfiable,
and should, perhaps,' be copyrighted
as Democratic specimen Of the fab
biness of feebleness.
The above pointless cfiusion is from
the pen of the Rev. % j. W. Zim-
norman, of the Danville Tribune, the
Northern Methodist preacher, who
gave up his small stock of religion to
get a chance at the Grant campaign
fund. Well, we can't blame the poor
fellow for that. In a worldly point Of
view it is much better than preaching
year on an obscure circuit for Q
dozen or SO pairs of socks or second
hand overcoat.

Harmonis,ns fhe Democracy.

The efforts which are being made to
harmonic the warning sections of the
New York Democracy deserve to be
highly commended. We should re-
joice to see the party in this State a
united baud of brothers. But wheth-
er these praiseworthy efforts succeed
or fail, there is one event which would
bring abont substantial union at
once. And that is the nomination Of
Gen. Grant by the Republicans.
When the question becomes the pres
ervation of a traditional usage which
has become virtually part Of the
Government or the taking OF the iirsI
step toward imperialism, the time foI
boilers will be gone by. There may
be one or two bad.headed men read,
to lead; but they will be without an,
considerable following. There is too
much sense and too much patriotism
among the masses of the Democrat,
to aid. indirectly even, in cursinI
this country with Louis Napoleon

The Press the B.iwark Of liberty.

tHf fFfN~ t"f b"s""s" ~
The press is one of the wonders at
tending the growth Of our institutions.
In the history of the human race
there il nothing comparable to this
development. Ii is not only the bull
wark Of liberty, but il is the mighty
popular instructor more benefcent
and wide-reaching than any other
agency but the Christian religion, OF
which it Is one Of the main props.
Complaint is made that this power is
sometimes abused, and that We in
public life are too often consciously
criticised. IL will be sad day for
the Republic when criticisms upon the
acts and the speech of senators and
representatives shall be curbed; a still
sadder day when those acts and tina:
speech cannot invite the sternest criti-
cism. What food is TO the body the
press is 10 the mind. 1t has become
daily necessity and nOurishmeni
from the home of the rich to the cabin
of the PIONEER on the plains, whose
brain and muscle are integral parts Of
the empire in the West. To make
the press wholly independent and to
widen its influence every restriction
of unjust or unwise laws ought to b
removed. -[From Speech by Hon
David Davis, of Illinois.

Fifty years ago there we're twenty
two miles OF railroad in operation in
the United States. In 1910 the num-
Der of miles in operation did not equal
three thousand, and there were fewer
than ten thousand in 1880. To-day
there are in the United States eighty
six thousand miles of main track rail
road, with twenty-five thousand other
miles of second tracks and sidings.
In this vast industry more than forty
five hundred millions of dollars (s4,'
$50, 94S, 793 IN 1879 are invested, and
its gross earnings exceed five hundred
millions of dollars annually. 1t fur
