THE DEMOCRATIC FLOCK.
The Beginning and End of Democratic
"Reform."

Tho Beginning and End of Democratic
"Reform."
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Hendricks,
and the great body of gentlemen who
do the managing for the party, that the
Democratic party ought to be fed as
speedily as possible. The same opinion
prevails among the lambs themselves.
Their little mouths are open on thou
sand hills, and their tender yearnings
are manifested by low bleatings which
fill the air from the confines of Nova
Scotia to the Mexican border. Even
here in the simple and bucolic retreats
of Michigan, where we have set of
self-denying Democrats with whom the
joys of oifice-holding are tradition
rather than an experience, there is not
a remote hillside which does not send
forth plaintive cry for something that
will bring salary out of the Federal
Treasury.
If there are people in the world who
have paid attention to the Democratic
campaign professions of a desire to re-
form and purify the administration of
the Government, they must have a
peculiarly strange sensation as they
read the daily reports of the prepara-
tions for cutting up the loaves and
fishes SO as to make them go round
and leave fragments enough to satisfy
the multitude who will wait for the
second table. The pretentious sham is
now apparent enough, and there arc

A Craze for Camphor.

"You may increase that order for
camphor gum 100 pounds, said a
leading druggist to his clerk as they
were going over the stock yesterday.
They have cleaned us all out lately"
care you having much of a demand
for camphor now?' asked reporter
who overheard the direction.
Il should say so. There appears to
be regular camphor craze. People
are using it for all sorts of things. In
the spring we usually have large de-
mand for it, but this year beats the
record. May moving generally in
creases the demand. People use it to
disinfect and change the air of old
houses. 1t is put in trunks and boxes,
along with winter wearing-apparel to
keep out moths. 1t is sure death to
moths. Some physicians have recon-
mended camphor as cholera preven-
tive, and lots of people, who are afraid
of the quality of our drinking water are
taking frequent doses of it. They find
it convenient to take an occasional
nibble of camphor gum rather than to
use it in liquid form after it has been
dissolved in alcohol. | have known of
dyspeptics who claim that camphor
gum eases stomach troubles. Camphor
and chloroform are used for toothache
and neuralgia; camphor and glycerine
for earache; pure camphor for head
ache, colds, and chills. The gum
rubbed on sore will dry it up, and it
also drys up and cures pimples on the
face. 1t is also given to young people
who develop too fast, and it is valu-
able medicine in hundred ways. Cam
phor and ammonia poured overs scald,
burn, or blister will take the inhamma-
tion out and have cooling effect, but
the first effect of its application is as
painful as the original burn. The bene-
tit comes afterward. People who use
it to ward of disease carry it in their
pockets or in little bags suspended over
the chest by ribbon around the neck.
Camphor gum sells for 20 to 80 cents a
pound, and in some stores for more
Where do you obtain camphor
gum?"
Most of it comes from Japan, where
camphor plants grow in profusion. A
great deal is imported from Borneo
and Formosa. The crude camphor has
to be redistilled before it can be used.
1t is obtained by cutting up the plants,
stems and all, and distilling them. The
Borneo camphor comes from trees.
The trees are felled and split open and
the camphor extracted from the heart
in great Jumps. Sometimes Jumps a
yard long and three or four inches
thick are found, but twenty pounds is a
good yield for an average tree. The
Chinese have a great liking for Borneo
camphor, and profess to find in it su-
perior qualities, and they have been
known to pay as high as $50 a pound
for it. The difference between Borneo
and common camphor is more imagi-
nary than real '-C Chicago NeWs.

A Bear Story.

From Theodore Roosevelt's account
of ''Still-hunting the Grizzly" in the
June Century, we quote the following:
Sure enough. there were two bears
(Which afterwards proved to be an old
cling up the bottom of the valley, much
too far for US to shoot Grasping our
rifles and throwing off our hats, we
started off as hard as we could run di-
| agonally down the hillside, so as to cut
them off. 1t was some little time be-
| fore they saw us, when they made off
at numbering gallop up the valley. 1t
would seem impossible to run into two
grizzlies in the open, but they were go
ing up hill and we down. and moreover
the old one kept stopping. The cub
would forge ahead and could probably
have escaped US, but the mother now
and then stopped to sit down on her
| launches and look round at us, when
the cub would run back to her The
upshot was that we got ahead of them,
When they turned and went straight
up one hillside as we ran straight down
the other behind them. By this time /
was pretty nearly done out, for running
along the steep ground through the
sage-brush was most exhausting work;
and Merrifield kept gaining on me and
was well in front. just as he disap-
peared over bank, almost at the bot
tom of the valley,I tripped over bush
and fell full length. When | got up l
knew | could never make up the ground
| had lost, and besides could hardly run
any longer. Merrifeld was out of
sight below, and the bears were labor
ing up the steep hillside directly oppo-
site and about three hundred yards off;
so | sat down and began TO shoot over
Merritield's head. aiming at the big
bear. She was going very steadily and
in a straight line, and each bullet sent
up a puff of dust where it struck the
dry soil, so that | could keep correct
ing my aim; and the fourth ball crash
ed into the old BEARS flank. She lurch-
ed heavily forward, but recovered her
self and reached the timber, while Mer-
rltleld, who had put on squirt, was not
far behind.
Il toiled up the hill at a sort of trot,
fairly gasping and sobbing for breath;
but before got to the top | heard a
couple OF shots and a shout. The old

field; but he gave her the death-wound
by firing into her chest, and then shot
at the young one, knocking it over
When l came up he was just walking
towards the latter to finish it with the
revolver, but it suddenly jumped up as
lively as ever and made off at great
pace-for it was nearly full-grown. 1t
was impossible to fire where the tree
TRUNKS were so thick, but there was a
small opening across which it would
have to pass, and collecting all my en-
ergies | made last run, got into posi-
ton, and covered the opening with my
rifle. The instant the bear appeared 1
fired, and it turned dozen somersaults
downhill, rolling over and over; the
ball had struck it near the tail and had
ranged forward through the hollow of
the body. Each of us had thus given
the fatal wound to the bear into which
the other had fired the first bullet"

SOudaneSe Spears.

The Haden dowa spear is from six to
seven feet long. The handle is of a
piece of hard mimosa or acacia, thinner
than a broom handle. There is long
socket attached to the blade, into which
the wood is driven and fastened. At
the reverse end there is commonly a
piece of twisted iron or telegraph wire,
which serves the double purpose of
weighting the handle, so as to counter
balance the blade, and to prevent the
weapon being pulled from the grasp.
The spear head or blade is rarely more
than two inches broad by eight inches
long. Going into battle the Haden-
dowas grease their spears from blade
to hilt, so that it is impossible to wrest
the weapon from their hands in strug-
gle.
The spears used by the tribes up the
Nile are much more formidable weap-
ons. The handle is from seven to nine
feet long, made of male bamboo wood.
1t is furnished with terrible broad
bladed long spear head, like that of the
Hadendowas, kept bright as mirror
and sharp as a razor. The blades are
sometimes fourteen inches long and five
inches wide. In truth, an Arab spear
up the Nile looks more like an elongat-
ed trowel blade than anything else
Shovel-heads our soldiers used to call
them. They make a fearful wound,
and it was with one of these Col. Burn
aby was struck in the throat and killed.
Being exceedingly light weapons, al
though badly balanced, the Arabs can
handle them with great dexterity.-

Sir David Brews:er's Cat.

Margaret Maria Gordon, writing
from Nice to the Home Chronicle, says:
My father. Sir David Brewster, had a
strong dislike to cats; he said that he
felt something like an electric shock
when one entered the room. Living in
an old mouse-ridden house, | was at
last obliged to set up cat, but on the
express condition that it never was to
be seen in his study. l was sitting
with him one day, and the study door
was ajar. To my dismay pussy push
ed it open, and, with most assured
air, walked right up to the philosopher.
jumped upon his knee, put paw on
one shoulder and paw on the other,
and then composedly kissed him! Ut
terly tnunderstruck at the creature S
audacity, my father ended by being SO
delighted that he quite forgot to have
an electric shock. He took pussy into
his closest affections, feeding and tend
ing her as If she were a child.
"One morning, some years after
ward. no pussy appeared at breakfast
for cream and fish; no pussy at dinner,
and, in fact, months passed on and
still no pussy. We could hear moth
ing of our pet, and we were both incon-
sOlable. About two years after, | was
again sitting with my father, when,
strange to say, exactly the same set of
circumstances happened. The door
was pushed gently open, pussy trotted
in, jumped on his knee, put paw on
each shoulder, and kissed him. She
was neither hungry, thirsty, dusty, nor
footsore, and we never heard anything
Of her intervening history. She re-
