The craze which existed a few years

In the grasp OF illiteracy. In 1880 hfty-
eight OF our seventy-siI senators and
1872 out of 1926 representatives were in
states and districts where illiterate vo-
ters held the balance Of power.
The above is really a big boomerang
which, in returning home. will do the
radicals considerable harm when intel
ligent people digest the facts contained
therein. Now, who placed illiterate
blsck-men, Jim Crow plantation hands,
in the legislative halls of several OF the
states and those of the national govern
ment-the American congress2 These
creatures, crude and uncultured, knew
not how to read nor write, yet they
were employed and empowered to
make laws for the cultured people of
the nation. For all these d~eprecable
doings the republican party is ALSO
lutely aud directly responsible
Now, what does this trickey party
desire to do for a further lease of usurped
power.g Why, disfranchise their poor,
plant tools Of former days on the
ground OF illiteracy, fearing thatthey'n
no longer be useful as voters for their
decaying and debased political organi-
zation. These are stern facts for the
people to look at and combat. In a
nutshell, the republican party has al
ways been a greedy, grasping party of
temporary expediency, in which neither
fairness nor honesty has ever been a

In q collar-box on the desk OF a downtown
dealer In machinery for hour-mills were
twenty-seveu bits of wire of various lengths
and forms, two barbs, one nail head, two
mail lath nails, two pieces of larger nails,
ono piece of q screw, and a piece of sheet
iron.
How is that for a gristf' he remarked.
@Have you a machine to grind such things
as thatr'
mot exactly, but millers run just such
grists through their millstone8 every day in
the year. Several years ago the genius OF
the reaping machine man invented an at
tacbment by which the grain was bound into
sheaves as 1t was cut. The binding was lone
with wire. As n -onsequence, when the
wheat was thrashed a good deal of that bind
ing wire went through the thrashor and
dropped out in bits into the wheat. Millers,
particularly in the northwest, found SO much
in the grain that profits were seriously cut by
the injury done to the millstones. Two or
three associations of millers in different
states resolved to buy no wheat that had been
bound with wire. That wouldn't work, of
course; and it was not long before a milling
Journal advised the millers to put magnet in
the spouts through which the grain
was received from the farmer. The
miller found that he accumulated not only a
lot of binding wire. but odds and ends OF
metal that he had never dreamed OF. This
lot In the box came from a grist of fifty
bushels But the magnets had their draw
backs. They didn't catch all the iron, and
they bad to be cleaned by hand. Then an
inventor devised a machine which consists Of
n hopper, into which the grain runs, and
from which it is fed in an even sheet over a
plate of sheet iron. The plate serves as an
armature for a gang of horseshoe magnets

It holds all the metal that reaches 1t with the
grain. Once a minute an automatic wiper
clears the metallic substances from the sheet

and makes, ranging in capacity from twenty

A great battle was in progress, when a
large division under Gen. Gary came on the
field. He reported to Gen. Thomas All
day the tide of battle had turned, first in
favor of the north, and then Of the south
Gen. Thomas pointed to a certain pass, and
said: 81 want your men to hold that II
they can do It, victory Is ours" They formed,
and there they stood, like animated granite,
Time and again the rebels came at them
but could not break the line. At length
Gen. Gary gave the word, Cup, and at
them. boys" And with a shout the Union
men charged down on the flying rebels-
Dying men heard the shout of victory and
waved their feeble arms. In the evening the
generals were congratulating each other, and
there was a call for Gary, who saved the day.
At last he was found sitting detected In his
tent, and to the messenger who came to sum-
mon him to receive the congratulations of his
general, he said: ~I am shot through the
heart; you must excuse me-
But 1 thought you escaped without a
scratch
Without a word Gen. Gery drew aside the
nap OF the tent, and there lay the body of his
boy, who had been pierced through the heart
by u bullet While making that charge.

Tulare lake. /. large body of water In Cali
fornia, has during the last few years been
rapidly drying up, and the time is apparently
not far distant when 1t will cease to exist.
Within the memory OF men still living It was
thlrty-three miles long and twenty-four miles
wide. To-day it is only about fifteen miles
long and eight miles wide, being a shrinkage
in superficial area Of more than $50 miles.
The cause OF this drying up Is largely due to
human agency. Probably the extensive sys-
TENS OF irrigation recently put in operation
In the vicinity are mainly the cause of the
subsistence. Nearly all the rivers and brooks
which have acted as feeders to Tulare lake
have been tapped. In some cases they have
been entirely diverted from their natural
courses, and have been made TO miniater to
the reclamation OF arid districts for agricul-
tural purposes. And in a few years every
gallon Of water which now empties into
Tulnre lake will be carried through artificial
channels to hundreds OF farms which would

No Money In His Nose.

There was a man who found out this
week in a Bowery museum that he was
not SO peculiarly endowed by nature as
he had supposed. Measure your own
nose, and if it is an inch long-from
the upper lip straight out to the end
you are quite sufficiently provided for
all purposes of utility and beauty. An
inch more would proverbially be q
great deal. This man had it. and, in
consequence, he overrated his nasal
importance. am bound to say that
his length of nose is to my mind Won
freak of nature. But a test has proved
the masses. He is a cigar-mnker by
trade. Whenever he took his walks
abroad, he was gazed at with amaze
i ment. ''If 1 am to be looked on as
curiosity" he reasoned, sit would be
better to make lazy living with my
abnormal nose" So he took his big
feature to the manager of 10-cent
show.
..Very well," was the offer which he
received. sIl do just the same by
you that l do by any other new freak.
We can't tell what'll catch on with the
public. You can have a place on the
platform for week. If you make a
failure, FL give you S.; if you hit sem,
pll tix square, liberal salary"
but how IN l to know whether hit
'emp" the amateur curiously asked.
''By seeing whether the folks stop to
look ut you. That's the test"
The nose was not potent. What had
been novel in private life, was almost
disregarded in professional. 1t seems
to be settled that a protuberance of two
inches does not make face fascinating.
The man has returned to his cigar

Three Thousand Novels.

An English publisher, calling atten-
ton to the fact that during the year
1888, 349 works of fiction were pub
lished in England. says that readers
do not increase in proportion to the
number of novels printed. On the con-
trary. during the last two or three
years the number of readers of circu-
lating library novels has been steadily
and largely decreasing. This, he says,
is probably to be accounted for mainly
by the excess OF fiction liz other direc-
tions. Novel readers, who used to re-
sort to the libraries, now get their full
supply in the daily, weekly and month
ly journals. 1t is said that for every
novel printed and published, probably
ten are written and rejected. Thus.
then, one has to contemplate over 5000
novels being written in one year, of
which $50 see the light. and of these.
only about 230 pay the expenses of pro-
duction, the whole of the remaining
mass of writing and printing being la
bor lost.
