Of the species. These are distributed
over every portion of the globe except
Australia and the South Pacific islands,
though most abundantly developed in
the hot attitudes. According to He'll
prin, the better known American forms
are the jaguar, whose range comprises
the entire region included between
Patagonia and Texas; the cougar or
puma, with probably the most extend
ed north and south range of any man.

several varieties, ranges from Arkan-

margay-Mexico to Paraguay-and
several allied species of small later.

eyra. unspotted cats ranging from
Paraguay to the northern boundary of
Mexico; the Gillian colocollo; the
pampas-cat, and the lynx, which il
habits the greater part of the American
continent north of Mexico. Prominent
among the old world cats are the lion,
the tiger, the panther or leopard, the
ounce or irbis. the spotted tiger, the
serval. the cheetah and the lynx. No
form of cat may be said to be common
to Europe and America, though there
are varieties Of lynx in both. as well
as in Asia and Africa. The cougar is

"KEHp IT m MIND"

Keep 1t in mind that It 10 the repub.
lican party that demands the aboli.
tion OF the tax on whiskey, and that
coal should be taxed for the benefit of
whom? Keep 1t In mind that 1t 10
the republican party that 10 determin-
ed to keep the war taxes on manufac-
tories for the sake Of moDopolies. Keep
it mind that they demand that the tax
he removed from tobacco while your
wives 60 shivering for lack of wooden
clothes. Keep it mind that when you
buy asplow or wagon every part Of the
implement il taxed to keep up . priv
legged class of manufacturers in the
east. Keep these little things In mind
and then ask yourself II you are not in
favor of endorsing the tariff reform
plank In the republican platform of
l8S4.-DemOcrGt- COsvaat.
keep it In mind" that it is not the re.
publican party that demands the abo-
lition Of the tax ON whisky. The DC.
cannot name a. single prominent re-
publican that has 30 declared. On the
contrary that demand comes from the
democratic Southland the third party
prohibitionists.
keep it in mind" that the tariff on
coal does not enhance the value Of
that article in Kansas the fraction Of
a cent. It does, however, give better
wages to eastern coal miners, who are
thus enabled to pay better prices fol
Kansas farm produce.
keep it in mind" that there are nc
taxes, "war" or otherwise on ''mauu-
factories" There is . system of tariff
however, by which duties are levied
on certain articles of foreign growth
and manufacture which come in com.
petition with American products
Under this system the per capit.l
wealth of the United States has in
creased in 25 years from $5l4 to 81, OO(
and the republican party proposes to
maintain it.
keep 1t in mind" that the moot
emphatic demand for the abolition Of
the tax on tobacco comes from the
democratic South; while uncontrovert.
ible statistics show that "your wives''
can get woolene of the ordinary grades
as cheaply here as in any country in
the world.
keep it in mind" that there is moi
another country on the globe where
agricultural implements of every des-
cription can be bought a. cheaply as
thew can In America to-day.
keep it in mind" that the republi.
can party is just as much In earnest
now as it was in 1884 about having the
tariff revised and its inequalities cor.
rected; but it wants it done by the
friends Of the system and not by its
foes.
And finally, men and brethren,
keep it mind" that in most OF the
tariff talk of our esteemed but rather
careless cotemporary, an allowance of
three-tenths must be made for mac
curacy Of statement, and of seven
tenths for sophistry in argument.

THE sHAW's WEALTH.

jewels and Gems Worth Ono Hundred ND
lions OF Dollars.
What he terms his museum is Z
curious place. 1t contains q profusion
of costly articles and objects of art such
exists nowhere else at the present day,
it being the opinion of well informed
Europeans, who have viewed these
treasures, that their money value is
perhaps twenty-fold that of the so-called
green vaults at Dresden.
It is impossible to give exact figures,
for they could only be obtained after q
long and minute inspection and valua-
ton by experts; but roughly estimated,
it is probable that there is more than
500. 0OO. 900 worth of jewclry. precious
stones. coined and uncoined gold. costly
objects de vertu, fine porcelain and
| glassware. old weapons and armor,
tableware and ornaments of of exquisite
Persian and Hindu workmanship,
etc. The so-called peacock throne "a
part of the plumber Nadir Shah carried
off from Delhi one hundred and fifty
years ago is alone valued at many
millions, even after q number of the
large. rough and uncut jewels have
been broken out and stolen.
1t is an incongruous place, this mu-
scum. There you will see vases of
agate or gold and lapis lazuli, said to
be worth millions. and alongside of
them empty perfume bottles of Eu-
ropean make. with gaudy labels, that
can be had at wholesale at five
cents apiece. You will see priceless
mosaics and exquisite painted cups
and cans and vases, which were
presented by some European potent
ate; and side by side with them you
will notice horrible daubs, veritable
ten-cent chromos, picked up the Lord
knows how and where. You will per-
ceive glass cases filled with huge heaps
of rubies, diamonds, emeralds, sap
phires. turquoises, garnets, topazes,
beryls of all sizes and kinds, cut and
uncut; and cheek by jowl with these
your eyes will see cheap music-boxes,
jew's-harps, squeaky hand-organa
The Shah must also be in condition
70 ''bull'' the market on pearls, for
here is. for instance. = big glass case,
twenty-four inches long by eighteen
inches wide and high. that is more than
half filled with beautiful pearls, mostly
from the Persian Gulf fisheries, of all
sizes and degrees of loneliness. In 4
separate long case the orders and deco
rations of the Shah. coming from near
ly every country in the world. are kept
on exhibition; but the crown Jewels
are in a little box that is always locked,
and for which the Shah himself for
ever. waking or sleeping, carries the
keys The contents Of this box and of
the several vaults where he keeps his
piles on piles of bright. shining, un-
used money, he never allows others to
view, although the museum may be
visited once a year by the European
and the friends that they
vouch for.-Cosnsopolitan.

A Lawrence correspondent Of the

sor Garfield of the State University,
uses his position to disseminate the
'pernicions doctrines Of free trade" II
the professor does not teach free trade.
he must teach ''protection, 'or, dues he
hybrid theory of national finances?
The general impression IL that Profess
sor Garfield IL . free trader, and that he
teaches that doctrine, IL not . - parti-
san doctrine. certainly as his idea Of
correct political economy. 1.-The does
hot 90 teach we ale glad to know It,
Atchison Champion.
Prof. Garfield teaches neither free
trade nor protection. He teaches Poll
teal Science and he teaches 1t In such
q way that this department ID recog-
nized az one of the::most thorough and
comprehensive in the country and ID
reported in the last official circular Of
the Bureau of Education ~ standing
only second In interest and importance
to the department Of Natural Science.
The tariff question IL studied, ofcourse
but it ie studied; and taught, not with
. view ofturning out partisans on one
side or the other, but with a view Of
getting at tho facts. We are glad to
observe that of late there IL very little
of the ilI-natured and unjust criticism
Of Prof. Garfield that was formerly
INDUCED by..a number ofour exchanges.
II those who are still inclined to find
fault would only visit the University
and see for Themselves what the
Professor is really doing, their blame
would turn to praise.
