WHEN Mr.. S. U. DOUGLASS, of Rochester,
attempted to organize an American" party
in Syracuse, New York, the other night, there
was lively time. An Irshman protested
against the speakers talk, but Mr.. Douglass
went ahead and recited a poem. Then the
audience requested him to set up the beer.
This made Mr.. Douglass mad, and he said that
he would stigmatize Syracuse as a city of sots
and sins This was greeted with the widest
applause, and the orator seized his hat and
started for the door. The crowd followed him
out on the sidewalk and exploded bunch of
fre-crackers under his feet. 1t is not thought
that the new party will materialize in SYRIA

Coming This WAY,

General Benjamin F. Butler in the course
of brief interview, the other day, was
asked what he thought of the future of
New England industries.
In reply the general said: "There are
more looms west of the Alleghenies than
east. If the mills of Lowell were to be
swept away tonight by a general confagra-
ton we would be very likely to take our in
surance money to the west and south and
rebuild there.''
1t win not take general confagration to
move the mills of Lowell and other New
England towns. In the course of time the
northern manufacturers will see that it
is to their interest to establish themselves
in the midst of the great cotton, iron and
coal fields of the south. No great calamity
will be needed to drive them here; self-in-
terest will attract them.
This was in General Buffers mind when
he talked with the interviewer.

preylnc Upon peonlo,s Grief.

A nuisance, and one that should be
abated, is practice that has grown up
among class of people who prey upon
grief and afliction. Every day these
ghouls who live upon the friends of the
dead use the mails to send hundreds of
their offensive missives to list of ad-
dresses gathered from the newspaper
death notices. These are nothing less
than advertisements of florists, embalm-
ers, tombstone cutters, dealers in mourn
ing goods, etc. One shrewd Philodelphian
generally sends black card with some
doggerel and the name of the deceased
printed on it, for which he modestly asks
tho bcreaved family to send him $1.50.
But worst of all is seedy looking fraud
who purports to have been sent from
some newspaper and offers (for consid-
eration) to write an obituary notice which
he says will be printed in the newspaper
lie pretends to hail from.-"Miss Justice

Never treat your dog roughly in ad
ministering medicine. Kindness will bring
about quicker and better results than
force. Give medicines that are in the
form of powders in gelatine capsules. To
administer these take the dog, If small
one, ON your knee, if q large one, between
the knees, open the mouth gently but
firmly, holding the head up as high as
you can, and have some one to put the
capsules as far down the throat as possi-
bic, now close the jaws and give the dog
q sharp tap under the chin, which will
cause him to swallow the capsule. When
liquid medicines are not of disagreeable
taste they can be given in drinking water
or in broth. When it is necessary to force
dog to take them, hold him in tho same
position as when giving capsules, but do
not hold the jaws so wide open, and have
your assistant pour the medicine from
long neclSed bottle into the back part of
the mouth little at time; hold the
nose until you are sure he has swallowed
the dose. As soon as all is down give the
dog morsel of meat and take him out for
run. This will often prevent him from
vomiting the medicine. Globe Democrat.

Normandy Coast Fishing Excursion.

Twas most anxious to go on a fishing
expedition, and a few days after arrived
quite large party of us started from the
villa. 1t was all such new thing TO me
that examined curiously all belonging
TO 1t with no common interest. My cos
tune, as well as those Of the other ladies,
was most peculiar We had on our bath
ing suits, over which we wore short
jackets of striped flannel; pretty cork
shoes and large straw hats completed our
attire. Some carried pitchforks and
buckets, others nets and poles The gen.
tlemen wore knickerbockers and short
jackets and went barefooted. On the
beach we found number of donkey carts
awaiting us, and small boys in attend
ance, who were to beat the poor beasts
in case they became refractory.
The tide was well ON its way Quit
falls or recedes from two to three miles
each day-and wo had several hours be-
fore lbs for our trip. With much urging
and slow advancing we arrived at good
spot, so the gentlemen assured us, and
seizing the pitchforks we all began TO dig.
The first removal of sand showed me
quantities of small fishes squirming
around in the wet and loosened sand.
Grabbing them up in our hands we de-
posted them in our pals, and so went
from place to place fishing in this most
curious manner. 1t became quite exciting
toward the end, for we made wagers as to
who would gather the greatest quantity,
and in our hurry to grab oil we could see
half would squirm out of our hands like
cells. These tiny fish are species of an.
chovy, and make most delicious friture,
well repaying one at dinner time for the
trouble of hunting them. Argonaut.

A small needle is vibrated to and fro by
the alternate currents. Attached to the
end of the needle is siphpn about the
hundredth part of an inch in diameter,
through which ink flows constantly. The
point of the siphon or pen rests on a strip
of paper which is automatically pulled
under it, and as the needle vibrates the
pen marks the vibrations in zigzag lines
on the paper. The operator reads the
signals off as they pass before him and
writes them on the usual blanks, while
an attendant coils up the paper strip and
files it away. There is no noise as with a
Morse instrument, and no calling"
The paper goes along continually and
when the operator at the other end of the
cable has a message to transmit he goes
right ahead with it. The sending opera
tor sits to the right of the receiver and
manipulates two keys side by side, one
for the positive and the other for the
negative current. There is no sounding
instrument except the keys, and the
operator has no means of knowing how
well he is doing, except that when it does
not reach the other end distinctly tho
sending operator there notifies the re-
ceiver al this end, who tells his associate
where to repeat from.
A Morse operator unacquainted with
cable work would think the sending
operator was merely drumming" on the
keys, as there appears to be no system
about it to the uninitiated. York

Can Your Boy Swime

Can your boy swim? Nog Then do not
trust him in any sort of boat until he has
learned the art, and feels as much at home
in the water as upon dry land. You
might just as well send him out alone
into a crowded street before he had learned
to walk. He might possibly creep along
all right, and reach home alive, or some
body might pick him up and care for him,
but the chances would not be in his favor.
So in boating, the boy who cannot swim
may get along very comfortably for n
while, and not suffer from this defect in
his education, but the time will assuredly
come when he will have cause to bitterly
regret it. 1t is one of the simplest things
in the world, too and can be learned in
three or four intelligently directed lessons,
such as can be had in any city swimming
school or from the experts in any country
village. By I'll Sleans talk swim to your
boy before you talk boat, and stipulate as
one of the conditions of his having boat
that he shalt first be able to swim quar-
ter of mile without resting. Harper

HOW to Avoid contarion.

In lecture recently given to women in
Philadelphia a physician prescribed the
best method of preventing contagion or
infection. The lecturer said: 1.-THE best
way to prevent the poison from being alb
sorbed by the lungs is to have the stomach
full during aperiod of contact or exposure.
The lungs absorb while the stomach is
empty, but throw off during digestion,
never absorbing while digestion is going
on. While watching at night the nurse
should take light lunch, such as beef
teaor crackers, every few hours. Another
point Of protection against contagion is
personal cleanliness and frequent changes
of inside and outside clothing. Boston

There have been few houses built of
late years with the roof space laid out as
a summer garden, to be rooted with can
vas and screened at its sides from the

these establishments in my wanderings

delightful and commendable innovation.
That they represent the beginning of
general practice I have no doubt. The
