The gall of the democratic claim, in
the st. Louis platform. that the dem
ocratic party has paid out more for
pensions to the soldiers and sailors
than was ever paid before during an
equal period, is something wonderful.
The pension list is constantly increas
ing, and each successive presidential
term shows an increase. But the Ia.
crease since Cleveland took his seat Is
not because of democratic legislation
It is simply the effect of republican
legislation. enacted long ago, the exc
cution of which is the necessary duty

 IRON ores are oxides of sulphides from which wrought iron, cast iron end steel are obtained by getting rid of the oxogen or sulphur.
 IT is estipated that 100 tons can now be carried thirteen miles an hour by steamship at a mile cost, including fuel, insurance, etc., of one-eighth of a penny.
 CAST iron will expand and contract be- tween the extreme ranges of temperature in this country with force equal to four and half tons per square inch of surface exposed.

were, the Chinese say, inflicted by orders of the superior officials at Soo- chow. No doubt all the men were thorough-paced rascals, and their chief, or leader, had not only broken every law that it suited him to break, but had made the authorities ridicu- lous by setting them at defiance. Nevertheless the sentences on them were barbarous in the extreme. 1t does not matter that the men were probably able to obtain some mitiga- tion of the severity of their punish ment by bribing the executioners to lay the blows on lightly, and that therefore they did not suffer much from the bamboo and rattan. It is the iniquity of the punishment which for eign nations will bear in mind when considering China's claims to be on an equality with them.-North China NeaUS.

ABOUT BORROWING.
An Evil Practice Which Does Not Deserve
 the Least Encouragement.

An Evil Practice Which Does Not Deserve
 the Least Encouragement.
 I read this inscription in wagon shop the other day: 'I neither bor- row nor lend tools." I don't know whether borrower and lender is most to be pitied. The man who lends runs the risk of losing tools, or having them injured, or of wanting them during their absence. But he may get them back all right, especially if reputed to be cross and grabbed enough to resent an injury. But the man who borrows makes a certain loss of time, and in greater or less degree of self-respect, and he makes himself liable to lend in return things more valuable than he borrows. In Arkansas I staid over night with man who keeps a good assortment of tools. In the morning neighbor rode up and said: ''There is your auger; was very busy and didn't bring it back as soon as 1 meant to-"
 When the borrower was gone asked how far he lived from there. "A mile and a quarter" was the reply. In borrowing and returning the auger he had travelled five miles; it was an inch auger, worth about seventy-five cents. The habit of borrowing naturally leads to slackness in returning; good-natured lenders often suffer serious inconven- fence. Every householder ought to keep an assortment of tools, farmers quite full assortment, and they ought to be taught in youth how to use them. Saws, augers, bits, chisels, planes, three or four each, monkey wrench, drawshave, vice, etc., ought to be owned by every farmer. Then he can make and mend many things in less time than he would spend getting the work done at the shop. If he is level headed he will at odd times make a great many conveniences for the family and keep things in good repair. -Hugh '. Brooks, Gpa N. r. Tribune.

He Was Boss of the School.

A city clergyman in active service tells good story of his early expe- rience as a school-master in the lum- Der region of Maine. He was very powerful man physically, and in his youthful days worked at cutting and rafting logs. He had saved enough from his earnings to pay for a years schooling, and had returned to work, when he received a call to take charge of the district school in his native town. The school had hard reputa- tion, for on several previous seasons the big, rough boys had fired out" several teachers. He agreed to take charge and maintain order in spite of the unpromising aspect. On the first morning of his appearance in the school-house he was prepared for ac- tiOn, and he soon had it, for the big bully of the school stood up in his seat and exclaiming: ''Come, boys, let's put hin out!' stepped forward, only to be seized by the master, lifted bodily from the floor, and thrown through the window. This feat of courage and strength paralyzed the rest of the crowd, and the master was "boss" thenceforth. Budqet.

AMERICAN POTTERY.
Why It Is Inferior to the Doultons, Dres-
 dens and Gobelin.

Why It Is Inferior to the Doultons, Dres-
 dens and Gobelin.
 For some reason which can not be satisfactorily explained, American art pottery does not possess that peculiar mark of perfection which make certain brands of imported ware valuable. In the matter of chinaware for use, the difference in the decoration can not be discerned by the ordinary observer, for mind you we have some very fine decorated ware in this country; but to the knowing man the defects of American pottery is easily distin- guished. Factories in the East have imported clay and artisans from Europe, and yet the famous Doulton, Derby, Gobelin and other ware could not be counterfeited so as to deceive the educated. It can only be said that it was lack of skill which made the experiment failure. This has given the Dresden and other imported wares their high values, for if something inimitable can be made it will natur- ally command a premium. How ever, American pottery is coming to the front in special lines wher there is originality. The great defect is and has always been in the polishing or veneering, which is so perfect and flawless in imported goods. American polish usually has flaws and slight cracks in the surface which detracts from the decoration and displays its origin to the connois- seur. You may not have known what it was when you noticed it. Take plate, for instance, of American make and see if there are not little breaks or cracks on the surface. This shows that the makers have not mastered the art of polishing the pottery. But per lection in this art of decoration is only acquired after several generations of skillful experiment, for no great pot tery has made its fame in day or a year. The oldest hold the most per- feet trade secrets. The most skillful decorators in the world are the Jap- anese and Chinese, with whom the art has been handed down from genera tion to generation for centuries. How ever, at the rate at which America is coming it will not be so long before it will have its brands as popular as the Doultons, Dresdens and Gobelins. We have the material, and only require skill and experience.-M E. Herbert, i11 St. Louis Globe Democrat

EXERCISE FOR COWS.
The Only Reliable Way of Strengthening
 the Digestive Organs.

The Only Reliable Way of Strengthening
 the Digestive Organs.
 The question for proper exercise for COWS is one not always considered in reference to the chief point to be gained the hygienic results. Every animal requires exercise, and much of it, to hold the digestion intact. But they want exercise in proportion to what is required of them. Racing men know this perfectly. They have had to make this special study. The horse under training must have fast and sometimes exhaustive exercise. He becomes a network of bone and muscle and sinews that may be likened to the strongest combination of wood, steel and brass known.
 The young animal takes much exer- ;ise naturally. The thoroughbred colt more than any other of the domestic animals, swine the least. Why? It has been bred into them, is what is termed hereditary. The thorough bred horse is the superior in speed and endurance to any wild breed of horses, and even the far. famed Arab, a well-bred, carefully trained and excelently-fed horse, is beaten by the thoroughbred at either short or long distances. Why again? The power of heredity asserts itself under larger number of channels than in the Arabian horse, but princi- pally in those arising from the best possible and most varied food, in con- nection with the best sanitary condi- tions coupled with the necessary ex- ercise to keep every part of the animal frame in perfect vigor.
 To return to the dairy COW. She must be a creature of considerable eX- ercise, for without fair exercise the digestive organs can not prepare, nor eau the food be properly and fully assimilated. Hence the dairy COW must be large feeder and heredity must be here strongly in the direction of the vicera and glands that produce superority in this direction. She must eat much and digest much. If heredity is strong in this direction, it will probably be strong in the milk function, else her. edity will not have been in that direc- tion; the probability is strong that ex- ercise enough was not given when young. But milk will be sure to fol- low if one conform to the directions herein outlined for the dairy cow-a special and not general purpose COW. The COW must have much exercise in summer; this she naturally gets in grazing In winter, also, some daily exercise is necessary, when giving milk, even if it must be under a blanket. When not in milk, the ex- ercise must be sufficient to enable the digestive organs to assume their nor- nal strength, perhaps weakened by protracted milking and minimum of exercise, -FarlN, Field Gia6 S!ockTsa's
