Democrats straight, democrats
high, democrats low, democrats be-
tween-four sets. The republicans
hold the four aces against these
four asses. Affected honesty is
about as common an article as out
right reputation. The fact of the
political business is, ii is 81 gone coon
skin with the democrats unles they
do agree. Principle is a very doe
thing when you can turn it to some
good, but to cling to principle
only because that's its name and
when it doesn't mean anything and
can accomplish nothing, is dlshing
up moonshine with a seive. We
believe democracy is iounued upon
rock -bottomed honesty and that it
will do the right thing at last. Let S
get ourselves in q good humor with
each other, and when We are sitting
upon the PROSTATE body Of q de
feated republican party we can
agree upon details. The trouble
now il that some of the papers and
people seem to think that the state
debt is the only question in politics.
1t is simply detail, to be arranged
after we move into our old house
again, now temporarily occupied by
the republicans. Do not go crazy
over a detail. Let all democrats
come to the house-raislng, and
when we get the logs all in place
and the cover on. we'll agree upon
the place to cut the window and
whether it shall be 50x4 or 60x6.

Horace Greeley wasn't very
cranky when he wrote this: al
you want to keep a town from
thriving, don't erect any more
buildingsthan you can conveniently
occupy yourself. If you should &C.
cidently have an empty building
and anyone should want to rent II
ask three times the value of it.
Demand a Shylock price for every
foot of ground that God has given
you steward ship over. Turn a
cold shoulder to. every mechanic
and business man who seeks to
make home with you. Look al
every new conner with scowl. Run
down the work of new workmen.
Go abroad for wares rather than
seek to do business in your midst.
Fail to advertise, or in any way
support your newspaper, so that
people abroad may not know wheth-
er business is going on in that
town or not. Wrap yourself within
yourself with a coat Of impervIous
sel6shness. There is no more eff
fectual way to retard the growth OF
a town than actions like those emu
merated."

they are interesting. We know
that most migrants fly after sunset,
though many of them select a
moonlight night to cross the Medi-
terranean. But that their metero-
logical instinct is not unerring IS
proved by the fact that thousands
are every year drowned in their
fight over the Atlantic and other
oceans.
Northern Africa and Western
Asia are selected as winter quarters
by many Of them, and they may be
often noticed on their way thither
to hang over the towns at night,
puzzled, in spite of their experience,
by the shifting lights of the streets
and houses.
The swallow. or the nightingale,
may sometimes be delayed by I'M
expected circumstances; yet it is
rarely that they arrive or depart
many days sooner or later, one year
after another. Professor Newton
considered that were sea fowls
satellites revolving round the earth,
their arrival could hardly De more
surely calculated by an astronomer.
Foul weather or fair, heat or cold,
the pufiins repair TO some Of their
stations punctually on given days,
as if their movements were regu
lated by clock work.
The swiftness of flight which
characterizes most birds enables
them to cover vast space in a brief
time. The comlon black swift can
fly two hundred and seventy-six
miles an hour-a speed which, if it
could be main tanned for less than
half a day. would carry the bird
from its winter to it's summer
quarters. The large purple swift
of America is capable of even
greater feats on the wing. The
chimney swallow is slower-ninety
miles an hour being about the limit
of its power; but the passenger
pigeon can accomplish u journey of
one thousand miles between sunrse
and sun set.
1t is also true. as the ingenious
Herr Palmer has attempted to
show, that migrants during their
long flights may be directed by an
experience partly inherited and
partly acquired by the individual
bird. They often follow the coast
line Of continents, and invariably
take, on their passage over the
Mediterranean, one of three routes.
But this theory will not explain
how they pilot themselves across
broad oceans, and is is invalidated
by the tact, familiar to every ornl-
biologist, that the old and young
birds do not journey in company.
Invariably the young broods travel
together; then come, after an inter
val, the parents; and, finally. the
rear is brought up by the weakly,
The infirm, the moultiDg, and the
broken winged. This is the rule
in autumn. The return journey is
accomplished in the reverse order.
The distance travelled seems,
moreover, to have no relation to
the size of the traveller. The Swed-
ish bluethroat performs its material
function among the Laps, and en-
joys its winter holidays among the
negroes of the Soudan; while the
ting, ruby tkroated humming-bird
proceeds annually from Mexico to
Newfoundland and back again.
though one would imagine that So
delicate little fairy would be more
at home among the cacti and agaves
of the ''Tierra Caliente" than among
the frs and fogs of the north.

LADIES' COLUMN.

The ladies of Arabia stain their
fingers and toes red, their eyebrows
black, and their lips blue. In Per
sia, they paint a black streak
around the eyes, and ornament
their faces with various figures.
rhe japanese women gid their
teeth, and those of the Indians
paint them red. The pearl of the
teeth must be dyed black to be
beautiful at Guzurat The Hotten-
tot women paint the entire body in
compartments of red and black. In
Greenland the women color their ia
ces blue and yellow, and then fire.
Iquently tatroo their bodies by satu-
rating threads in SCOT, inserting
them beneath the skin, and then
drawing them through. Hindoo fe-
males, when they wish to appear
particularly lovely, smear them
selves with q mixture of saffron, tn
meric and grease. In nearly all the
islands in the Pacific and Indian
| oceans, the women as well as the
men, tattoo great variety of figures
IN the face, the lips, the tongue, and
the whole body. In New Holland
they cut themselves with shells, and
by keeping open the wounds a long
Time, form deep scars in the flesh,
which they deem highly ornament
al. And another singular addition
IS made 10 their beauty by taking
off in infancy the little finger of the
eft hand, at the second JOINT. In
ancient Persia an squiline nose was
often thought worthy of the crown;
| but the SumaJran mother CAREFUL,
| hattens the nose of her daughter.
Among some OF the savage tribes OF
Oregau, and also In Sumatra and
Arracsn, continual pressure is APP
pied to the skull in order to flatteD
it, and thus give it new beauty.
The modern Persians have a strong
aversion to red hair; the Turks, on
the con trary, are warm admirers OF
it. In China, small round eyes are
liked; and the girls are continually
plucking their eyebrows that they
msy be thin and long. But the
great beauty Of Chinese lady is in
her feet, which 10 child ho0d, are so
compressed by bandsges as effectu-
ally TO prevent any further increase
IN size. The four smaller toes are
turned under the foot, to The sole OF
which they firmly adhere; and the
poor girl not only endures much
pain, but becomes a cripple for life.
Another mark of beauty consists in
ingeT-nails so long that castings of
bamboo are necessary to preserve
them from injury. An African
beauty must have small eyes, thick
lips, "a large fiat nose, anu skin
beautifully black. In New Guinea
the nose is perforated, and a large
piecetof wood or bone inserted. On
the northwest coast of America, an
incision more than two inches in
length is made in the lower lip, and
then filed with a wooden plug. In
Guiana the lip is pierced with
thOrns, the heads being inside the
mouth, and the point resting on the
chin. The Tunisian woman, of
modern pretensions to beauty, needs
a slave under each arm to support
her wren she walks, and q perfect
belle carries flesh enough 20 load
down q camel.

What Makes q House Beautiful

WHAT Makes z house Beautiful.
1t is an excellent thing to have a
wsllkept house, and a beautifully
appointed table, bat, after all, the
best cheer of every home must come
from the heart and manner of the
home mother. If that is cold, and
ungracious. all the wealth of In
dia can not make the home pleasant
and Inviting. Intelligence, too,
must lend its charm, if We would
have home an Eden. The severe
style of house order neatness seldom
leaves much margin for intellectual
culture. Even general reading Is
considered out of the question for a
woman SO hurried and so worried
with her scrubbing and polishing,
and making up garments. A sim
pier style Of living and house fur
nishiRg would set many a bonded
slave at liberty, and add vastly to the
comfort Of allin the house.
Hospitality rarely prevails IN
those spotless line-and-lettered
houses. Company disarrange the
books and disorder the house, which
had work enough in it before. The
mother can not throw off her house
hold cares, and sit down tor real
heart-to heart converse with the cd
friend of her childhood. Still less
can she enter into the joys and
pleasures right and delightful to
her own children, because of the ex-
ira work OF clearing away it Will be
likely TO make.
With all your tolls to make a
house beautiful, do not neglect the
first element of all, to beautify YOUR
self, body nd soul A sweet, loving
word, and ? warm clasp Of the hand
are more to IA guest than the most
deliberately cmroidered lambrcquins
at your window, or the most exquIs-
lite damask on your table. There
are bare cabin homes that have been
remembered with pleasure, because
OF the beautiful loving presence
there; and stately palaces which
leave the impression of an iceberg
