THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The great slogan OF the Republicans
during the last Presidential campaign
was that the country would be showed
under in business matters if the Demo-
Gratis gained power, and as the Democrats
now have power, and as the country is not
showed under, We give place to the fol-
lowing from the Philadelphia Times,
whose editor has lost no love for Cleve-
land, and who is inclined to toady to
Republicans "The autumn opens with
the best business outlook for several
years The crops, as a whole, are better
than last year, and what is more to the
purpose, the crops across the water are
below the average, thus giving promise
OF brisk demand tor the American sur
plus, which must necessarily be large.
An increase in railroad building has also
stimulated the iron and steel industries
to healthy condition. The prosperity
OF the agricultural portions OF the coun-
try is having a marked effect upon the
trade OF the Eastern cities. New York
jobbers and wholesale dealers report the
best fall demand for dry goods, boots and
shoes, furniture, builders hardware and
other articles that go to make up the
stock in trade OF the count. iealer, they
have had for several years The in
creased demand comes both from the
South and West and is accompanied by
that other infallible sign OF business pros
perity--prompt collections. What is true
of New York is true OF Philadelphia, Bos-
ton and other trade centers. Business is
quickened everywhere and business men
are confident OF permanent improvement
in the demand for nearly all
articles OF ordinary consumption. There
are two features of this advance in busi-
ness prosperity that are worthy of especial
notice. The first is that the increase in
demand is healthy and one that is likely
to be maintained and not in the nature
OF sudden boom which may vanish as
quickly as it came. The reason for this
is that prices have not been materially
advanced and there are no exorbitant
profits to drain the resources OF pur-
chasers on the one hand or cause sud
den expansion Of production on
the other. Goods are being made
and sold for what they are really
worth to consumers, and consumers
find themselves able TO pay reasonable
prices for what they need. The
other feature OF the present business con-

Nine Precious Lessons Taught by Strug
giles w tn the World.
The great beauty of charity is priva-
CIV; there is sweet force even in an
anonymous penny.
Men of great genius should not for
get that their failings, or vices, are
more apt to be noticed, and even ad-
mired, than their virtues.
My friend, if you must keep pet. let
it be one of the serene kind Ga rattle
snake or swapping turtle, for instance) :;
this will exercise your caution and
strengthen your genius.
My dear boy. if you must part your
hair in the middle. get it even, if you
have to split hair to do it.
Independence is a name for what no
man possesses; nothing, in the animate
or inanimate world, is more dependent
than man.
1t isn't so much what man has that
makes him happy, as it is what he
doesn't want.
There are many comfortable people
in the world, but to call any man per-
fectly happy is an insult.
There is nothing so valuable, and
yet so cheap. as civility; you can al
most buy land with it.
The great mass of mankind can only
gaze and wonder; if they undertake to
think they grow listless, and soon tire

SYMPATHY.
KANSAS.


As out into the night we stepped.
And turned our faces toward the town,
The stars that hitherto had slept
Unseen) looked gayly down;
And the pale moon threw off the cloud
Within whose folds her light was LOST
Awakened by the whisperings loud
That thrilled the starry host.
For they their sister. she. her child
Reheld in thee, . rad ant mad.
Than whom fairer star ne'er slnileo
In Heaven, then earthward Strayed!
But when mark the deep unrest
That turks within thy luStrOuS eyes,
Iauestion if that choice was best
Which led thee from the skies;
For there thy steadfast sisters dwell.
Forever br ght and strong and free,
Unmoved though tempeSts rise and Sweli,
Calm as eternity;
Whilst thou-who chose another part,
And all that glitter ng state res 2neu
To wear on earth wOnianS S heart
And sympathetic mind
Must suffer not those ills alone
That even selfish natures bear;
Thou max st the widow loss thy own.
And dost her sorrow share;
Thy neghbor's grief is thine no less
Than hers: the sufferer turns TO thee.
And soiace n his deep distress
Draws from thy sympathy.
Whilst thine are doubled. Az, but He
Who set the stars in heaven doth know
What thy reward shall be!

A EUROPEAN LEGISLATURE.
Visit to Session of the Bavarian House

visit to Session of the Bavarian House
of Representatives.
Having some curiosity to see what q
European legislative assembly looked
like, 1 visited last week, in company
with friend, the Landtag, the Bava-
rian Congress. 1t had been in session
all the winter. but, like most such
bodies all over the world this year, it
had done little but talk, and has large
part of its work yet before it. The
meetings are held in handsome build
ing on Pranner strasse, newly refitted
and well lighted by incandescent cleo
trio lights. and visitors are admitted to
the galleries by tickets given by the
porter. We first visited the Hammer
der Abgeordutten, which corresponds
to our House of Representatives. 1t is
held in large square chamber, with a
gallery on three sides, and, unlike the
British House of Commons, seats are
evidently provided for all the members,
about two hundred and fifty, and placed
on radiating lines in Il semi-circle. The
Speaker, as 1 call him for want of
knowing his proper title. Herr Won Ow
is his name, was seated in high pen
like arrangement. under the clock. of
course, and before and below him
the clerk of the House was reading
the bill in that rapid, mechanical voice
that these officers always use. On each
side were three red-covered chairs for
the use of the ministers, but only one,
that of the Minister of Finance, was
occupied. Two stenographers sat be-
side the clerk, and Il row of Industrious
reporters in the gallery. Some ninety
members were in the room. and the order
or lack of it, was much the same as III
our State Legislature, except l saw no
feet on the desks, and the members
read newspapers. wrote letters, walked
about and talked in voices not entirely
subdued. Each desk held the calendar
and printed copy of the bill under
discussion, an agricultural bill, but lit
tie attention was paid to it OR the
speakers discussing it, who seemed to
be speaking for their constituencies, rs
they did not appear to care for their
lfca of auditors. But as one gray
haired man rose and began to speak,
the members came pouring in from
rooms and elsewhere un-
til the house was nearly full, and the
closest attention was paid to him. The
votes are taken by rising, except when
the roll is called. The House is divided
between the Conservatives on the left
of the Speaker and the Liberals on the
right. the former being greatly in the
majority and nearly all Catholics, many
of them theologians.-Munich Cor. MI

for one insignificant pullet?"

CAUSES OF PAINTING.

An Af1ictiOn Which Could be Controlled
Without Great Difficulty.
The word swoon means the same rs
the medical term syncOpe. 1t is due to
the failure of the heart to send the
necessary supply of blood to the brain.
1t may be partial, or complete.
In the latter case. the person sud-
denly turns pale, and soon falls, with
a loss of consciousness and an apparent
stoppage of the pulse and heart. The
breathing, too, is either imperceptible.
or occurs only in occasional weak sighs.
The patient, to the ordinary observer,
may seem to be dead. OF course the
action of the heart has not ceased, but
it is feeble. This condition NAV last
only few moments, or it may con-
tinue for hours. 1t generally ends in
recovery, beginning with slight move
ments of the features and hands, and
deep signing. The pulse becomes
more distinct, and the heartbeat
stronger. Color and warmth return.
and consciousness is gradually restored
in full.
Among the causes are organic dis
ease of the heart. especially fatty de-
generation; extreme heat, combined
with impure air; loss of blood, or i'm
pOverished blood Gas in anemia) the
reflex action of certain conditions of
the stomach or other organs on the
heart. More or less of these causes are
sometimes combined. Some persons
faint from very slight causes-an un-
pleasant sight or odor. We have known
persons to faint easily and often, and
yet enjoy good health to extreme age.
But when fainting is due to organic dis
ease of the heart, or to loss of blood, or
to extreme heat, it may prove speedily
fatal unless soon relieved.
In its treatment, lay the patient fat
on the back. This favors the flow of
blood to the brain We had a friend
who could generally anticipate an at
tack, and check it, or cut it short. by
at once taking a recumbent position.
Never allow one who has tainted TO be
lifted into sitting posture. or to have:
even the head raised. If the fainting
is due to excessive loss of blood, this Of
course must be arrested. Meanwhile
manage to place the head lower than
the rest of the body. The heart. too.
should be stimulated with some form Of
alcohol, ammonia, ether or cologne
water. In all cases. secure the purest
air, and loosen the dress. espec;allu
about the chest and neck.
A writer in the Lance. says that in
many cases a person accustomed tn.
faint from slight causes may avert the.
attack by applying heat to tas head

One day Mrs. NARROW brought out the
white dress she had worn when she
came to them. "When did you wear
this last?' she asked.
There was for moment a startled
look in the brown eyes, then the girl
said, slowly: ''I--can't remember
''Didn' it rain?" the woman went
on.
Kathleen passed her hand over her
forehead before she returned, hesitat-
lngly: ''Yes, think it rained, butt

Mrs. NARROW put the dress away with
q sigh; it was of no use.
The fall, winter and early spring
passed uneventfully away, then there
came time when the old house was
in an unusual state of commotion and
expectancy. Captain Marlow's son
Robert was comm g home. He would
be here soon now; he had been in
South America. and it was more than
a year ago that he had gone away.
Airs. NARROW speculated as to how his
coming would affect Kathleen who
seemed as joyfuily eager to prepare
for him as did she herself. But when
he came the broad-shouldered captain
OF the Highfiyer was far more affected
than was Kathleen.
I'VE are SO glad to have you home."
she said, looking up frankly into his

on October 2 one plot was cut, which yielded

and the stock Of the farm relish II very

Just before making the first cutting was
two feet four inches, as near as could be
ascertained, though some plants attained a
height of two feet nine inches. The plots
were not MANFRED.
On July 10 / made a root washing bed
from a bed Of alfalfa The roots descended
quito vertically into the soil, and many Of
them were large and stocky. A foot below
the surface one root measured three-eighths
Of an inch in diameter, and attwo feet depth
nearly one-fourth Of an inch. Fibrous roots
were not at all abundant, though pene-
trating to a depth Of four feet below the
crown, where a bed OF hard, tenacious clay
was encountered. One large tap root was
traced three feet ten and one-half inches
below the surface. Yet in sandy soil or
sandy loan the roots of alfalfa penetrate to
a greater depth than almost any other
forage plant, and Mr.. Gould mentions an
instance in which the roots were traced to a
depth Of thirteen feet. 1t is this ability to
penetrate to a great depth in search for
food and moisture which makes this plant
OF so much value in those regions where
shallow rooted plants can not be grown ex-
cept by irrigation.
In conversing with farmers who have en-
deavored to grow alfalfa in northern New
York have been told that they find 1t diff

Timothy meadow will produce more tim
othy hay to have one-third of the crop
clover. The latter keeps the soil loose, mel
low and damp, and the timothy makes
heavier crop. Sheds or barracks can be
made cheaply to store such hay. One twenty
feet square and twenty feet high, with a
movable roof, will do very well without
boarded sides. Such a barrack will hold
twenty ton of hay, and with a horse fork
can be easily filed twenty feet high.
The cost of a hay barrack Of this kind will
he raid for the first year in the better keep
ing of twenty tons of hay. The roof should
be made as light as possible, SO that it can be
raised and lowered, as it is filed or emptiad.
1t should be light enough SO that one man
can raise or lower a corner at a time, at his
convenience. Without this it will have to
be boarded up, as the rain and gE0W would
blow under the roof. But if the roof is
raised as it is filled, in haying a load can be
put in at any time, as it is in a barn, and
then it is safe.
Great care and good judgment have to be
exercised to nave the hay cured just right,
and when it is right it should go Immediately

all important to have a place where hay
can be stored just as soon as it is ready.
Nearly half of all hay cut when it is stacked
is spoiled. Where clover is, the water will
run init will spoil in for some inches all
over the stack, and a considerable of a layer
at the bottom is worthless. And when a
stack is opened in winter or summer to feed
it is at the mercy of the weather, which is
always of the worst character at the wrong
time.
Or, if you do not like the barracks, make
sheds with stationary roofs. They can be
twenty feet wide and as long as desired. 1t
should be sloped all one way, and if covered
with boards, made pretty steep. 1t is best
to have the highest side face the east, as the
heavy, dashing showers seldom come from
that direction. II the hay settles after put
in, it would be better to put on boards ex-
tending from the root down to the hay to
protect it.-lowa Register.
