JUST THE THING.
Fills the BIN to a Dot, and as Things
Get Hot Politicaily Every ybody y
VIII Want IL.

The special edition OF the B. L o.
Bed Book, devoted 70 the history Of
the Republican party ani its antece-
dents, is an almost indispensable pub
llcation TO those at all interested in the
development Of the campaign of the
year. Great care is manifested in the
complication of data, and while every-
thing is stated in the most concise
manner, the information is SO clear and
explicit as to be readily compre-
hended. The chapter devoted to the
origin of the party and its national
outcome from the dismemberment of
prior parties is of exceeding interest,
as is also the points showing party
policy as expressed through Congress-
ional action. The condensed proceed
ings of the National Conventions of
the various parties, from the earliest
period of the country's history to the
present, is of no ordinary value, and it
is thing never before attempted In
such form of publication. Indeed, it
would be difficult to tell of all the i'm
portant information gathered together
and shown SO intelligently in the little
book.
Those who desire so invaluable a
textbook for handy reference, as mat
ters grow interesting, will not delay
long in enclosing two,cent stamp with
their address to G. K. Lord, Balti-
more, this being the only requisite to
secure copy. In addition to the data
having direct bearing upon the one
party, there is vast amount of infor-
nation given as regards both parties,
and with the Red Book at hand no one
need be at loss for an authority to set
tie almost any question as to political
history which may come up. In COM
mon with all the B. 0. publications, it
is model of perfect typography, the
makeup and type used generally be-
ing very far above the average of DO.

Better Than Gold.

Better than grandeur better than gpld,s 49,
Than rank and titles thousand fold
Ia healthy body and mind at ease AA
And simple pleasures that always please. -
A heart that can feel for another's woe
With sympathies large enough to enfold
All men as brothers Is better than gold.
Better thun roftf n conscience clear, --------
Tho toiling Tor bread in an humble sphere
Doubly blessed with content and health,
Untried by the lusts and cares Of wealth.
LoWly living and lofty thought --s---s--
Adorn and ennoble poor mans cot.
For mind and morals in natures plan
Are the genuine tests OF gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose t.
OF the sons OF toll when the labors close;
Better than gold is the poor mans sleep,
! And the balm that drops on his slumbes
deep. fuH.
Bring sleeping draughts TO the downy bed
where luxury pillows its aching head.
The toier simple opiate deems fti
A shorter route TO the land Of dreams.
Better than gold is a thinking mind,
That in the realm OF books can find
A treasure SURPRISING Australian ore,
And live with the great and good of yore,
The sage's lore and the poets lay,
The glories of empires passed away;
The worlds great dream will thus unfold
And yield treasure better than gold.
Better than gold is peaceful home,
Where all the fireside characters come,
The shrine of love, the heaven of life,
Hallowed by mother, or sister, or wife,
However humble the home may be,
Or tried by sorrow with heavens decree.
The blessings that never were bought OF sold,
And center there are better than gold. rs

Faithful Mothers.

How much there is sometimes in a
single word. One word can often move
the heart more deeply than the whole
of an elegant sermon. Speak the word
'.household, or 'fireside," or 'shome,"
to one who is wandering friendless,
homeless, and, perhaps, in a strange
land, and how quickly the tears will
start, the bosom heave and the lips
culver. Memory goes back with light
ming speed to the days of childhood
when the loved household gathered in
an unbroken band around the fireside
in the dear home. The happy voices
that are scattered far away, or hushed
in the silent dormitory of the dead,
are plainly heard by memery's ear, and
above the rest sounds the loving moth
| er's voice, as with one of the sweet
songs of Zion she sang her weary child
to sleep. As memory brings up SO
faithfully scenes of the old home, and
just as faithfully his life since he left
that home, how our wanderer wishes
himself back again an innocent child
on his mothers lap listening to the old
Bible stories that are ever new. The
stories float in his memory, and
thoughts of them and his mother cause
the tears to roll down his cheeks. Oh,
the memory of a loving, faithful moth
er can soften the hardest heart! How
her advice, precepts and love can help
US even when she has long been mold
ering in the grave. When we think of
home how our thoughts will 60 back to
the place where mother was, and when
we look forward to the beautiful home
beyond the river, faith and imagination
see mother there. Oh, mothers of the
youth of our country, do you realize
what power far good is in your hands
if you will only use itp Are you So,
living before your children, so training
them, that when they go out into the
world away from you, or you are taken
from them, their memories of you will
be as a guiding star to keep them in
the right path? Do you realize that
God has placed the children with you
to take care of for Himp Do you stop
to think that the way in which mothers
train their children will now influence
the whole nation. aye, the whole world,
in years to come? If you do, why do
you leave that little one of tender years
out in tine street away from under your
own eye and ear, to learn more of evil
in one hour that you can uproot in
lifetimeP How are you training your
sons that in time so come are to fill Of
fees all over the landP Are you doing
your best to have them grow up honest,
truthful men? Are you training your
daughters to be true women, worthy
to become the wives and mothers Of
the nationP Oh, woman, take care of
the precious talent God has given you;
and one way to make the best use of it
is to make your home the most pleas
ant spot on earth. Gather your house
hold around a cheerful fireside, where
the cold, wintry winds of unkindness
and neglect are not allowed to come,
but from which the members will carry
warm glow all their lives.

Bicycle Bearings.

The bearings in bicycle are per-
haps more to be admired than any sim
gle part. Instead of allowing the axle
to slide round in its bearings, hard
steel rollers or balls are introduced,
so that the parts which are pressed to-
gether roll over and do not slide upon
one another. Anyone who has trod-
den on a roller or marble must have
found in a possibly unpleasant man
ner the great difference between rolling
and sliding friction. I can now give
for the first time the result of an ex-
pertinent only completed this morning,
which shows the extraordinary perfec-
ton to which this class of work has at
tanned. have observed how much a
new set of balls which l Iobtained direct
from the well-known maker, Mr.. Brown,
has lost in weight in travelling 1000
miles in my machine. Every 200 miles
I cleaned and weighed the balls with
all the care and accuracy that the re-
sources of physical laboratory will per-
NIT. The set of twelve, when new,
weighed 25.S04oO grim. After 1000
miles they weighed 25.800SS grm., the
loss being 3.12 mgrm., which is equal
to 1908 grain; that is, in running
1000 miles each ball lost 1850 grain.
This corresponds to wear of only
1-158, 900 inch off the surface. At this
rate Of wear-3.12 mgrm. per 1000
miles-the balls would lose only 1-343
of their weight in travelling as far as
from here to the moon.-Nature.

MethOdiCal Ants.

The Texas agricultural ants go to
work in methodical manner. They
make nest beneath the ground and
raised several inches above it, and clear
away space on either side of several
feet, from which branch through the
grass several roads. Curiously enough
this grass about the nest is all of one
kind. All the other weeds are cleared
away. Some people say the ants plant
the grass seed. However, they do
gather it and feed to the young and
store the grain-houses under ground.
Here you see another evidence of in
telligence. The seeds slowed away
would naturally sprout after a rain.
but in some cases, when they become
damp the ants take them to the surface
and dry them in the sun; in other cases
they poison the seed by biting it, SO
that it does not sprout.

The Dancing Hulu-hulu Girls,

I once had a conversation with a
charming, high-caste Hawaiian girl,
while we watched together the per-
formance of band of hulu-hulu girls.
The first time you see a hulu-hulu
dance in company with ladies you will
find out just how much of mental
strain you can endure without fainting.
Twas in most complicated state Of
mind and did not dare to allude to the
spectacle before us, from which I
turned my eyes previously to my COM
panion, only to find that as she ate a
mango she was regarding the d'ncers
in as honest and simple enjoyment as
though it was landscape view that at
tracted her. I strove to take the con-
versation as far away from the scene
before us as possible, and so naturally
directed it to her recent visit to Europe.
She suddenly took the last gasp of
breath out of my body by asserting,
with genuine Indignation. that she
hated Europe. and thought the art gal
leries dreadfully indecent because Of the
display, in marble and on canvas, of
nude figures. .-Sanda0ich Island Letter.

The starch sugar industry in the
United States consumes daily 10000
bushels of corn and produces grape
sugar and glucose syrup of the yearly
value of $40, 100000. There are thirty
factories in the United States, furnish
ing their product to brewers and for
the manufacture of table syrup and
the adulteration Of cane sugar. 1t is
also largely used in confectionery, in
canning fruits, making fruit iellies,
and in cooking. Artificial honey is
made from it, and so, also, is vinegar.

A Palpable Hit.

The New York World allows no oppor-
tunity to slip to do what IL can to prove
that The Democratic party is not Free
Trade party. as the New York Sun and the
Louisville Courier Journal have made so
many persons believe it to be. BY the way,
the latter paper explains that when two
years ago it spoke as it did about free trade
and froe-traders the words bore a mean
ing which they no longer bear: they were
used then to describe the revenue reform
ers. So Mr.. WATTERsON tells us. So that
when ne said that the Democratic was q
Free-Trade party and that all voters
who did not believe in free trade
would better go over to the Republican
party, he did not mean what he would
mean IL he were to make such declara-
tion DOW. We chronicle this admission, or
concession, or explanation, whichever 1t
is, with pleasure, and return to the subject
OF what the World is doing to keep the
Democratic party from rushing headlone
to defeat.
The World catalogues long list Of Re-
publican leaders whom 1t classes amongst
