NEVADA AND HER CRITICS.

The boston Herald had an article Of
abuse Of Nevada. The Leadyille, Col,
Chronicle seeing it came to our defense
in these words:
However, this ''rotten borough has
only been State matter OF twenty.
three years. and yet she has added to
the nations wealth about Sl25, 1000, 900
in gold and silver bullion. Fairly well
for a yonng thing And this amount
would have been mnch greater still but
for the persistent warfare which the
charming Boston man and his friends
have made against silver.
Then Charlie Goodwin went after
them through the columns OF the Salt
Lake Tribune in this vigorous manner:
One deposit alone en- the Comstock
gave up $4,000. 600; the great lead has
yielded quite $50, OOO, 900 and the State
more than 500. OOO,O The Herald

editor imagines that it is sign Of bril-.

Canada. Since Professor Sullivan was
presented to the Prince Of Wales the
manners OF Boston people have baeome
simply insufferable. --Ex.

SILVER AND PENSIONS.

The Republican National Platform,
adopted at Chicago, condemns the ad-
ministration for it's attempt to demone
tizs silver" This is an exhibition of
buncomb which comes with rather bad
grace from party which in 1873 not
ouly attempted" but actually sue
oeeded in demonetiz ng the silver dollar
to the exteut that for five years it was
not legal tender in the payment of
debt and it's coinage was entirely dis
continued. In 1873, the Congress Of
the United States having become Demo-
cratic, bill was passed restoring the
silver dollar to q legal tender coin Of the
reulm and providing for its coinage by
the minis. A Republican President
vetoed the bill; and in the face Of these
facts the Chicago Convention hns the
supreme effrontery to condemn the adj
ministration for its attempt to demone-
tie silver.
The Platform also CONDEMNS the
administration for manifesting a spirit
hostile 10 pension legislation" This
plank will be- highly appreciated by the
public when It is remembered that more
money has been paid out for pensions
during tho administration of Presidert
Cleveland than was ever paid during IN
equal period since the war. This faot
il demonstrated by the records of the
Pension Bureau which cannot be dis
buted. In addition to this President
Cleveland has just signed the bill APP
propriating $50, ZOO, 900 for tho payment
ofpensions.
With these facts before the public the
Republican party is presuming on the
Intelligence OF the people in condemn
ing the administration for its hostility
to silver and pensions, for statistics
prove that the Republican party is the
only party that ever did strike death
blow to the silver interests, while more
money has been paid for pensions un-
dor the present administration than
was ever paid in an equal time by Re-
publican Naturalization, notwithstand-
ing the Republican party claims to be

A Snake Charmer's Methods.

Miss Ida Jeffreys opened the boxes and
took off the dainty white merino blankets
and gray wolf robes that wrapped up tho
snakes. She lifted them up, fondled them
and handed them over for inspection as she
talked
''How did become a snake charmer?" she
repeated why, that isn't easy TO tell 1
have always liked snakes. | was born in
New York and tbis city has always been my
home uss TO love TO watch the snakes in
their glass cage in Central park when l was
a little girl. They always had a fascination
for me- l didn't want to pet them, you
KNOW don't see how any sane person can
care to do that-but I liked to be around
them and watch them. lily people are in the
show business and when | grew up | went to
work as a high wire performer in the circus
! saw the famous Dana Atlanta, the Hindoo
girl who charmed snakes here some years
ago. She was tail and 1.-the and almost as
slender.as snake. While performing with
her pets she almost seemed to be a snake.
She moved and acted like one. Seeing her
act started me thinking why an American
girl couldn't do something in that way. I
made up my mind not TO initiate her, but to
get llp a snake act OF my own. la the fall of
1873 bought four little anacondas-they
were only six feet long each-and began to
practice with them. l got them used to hav-
ing me around and to being handled.
Didn't it feel creepy at first! Yes, little.
/ suppose, but I've nearly forgotten about
that now. When they were quite accustomed
to being handled | began to Irvine them
around myself. Did charm them? No. l
don't take any stock in the theories of so
called snake charmers. find that you can
get along very nicely with snakes by merely
handling them gently. You mustn't make
any sudden movements where they can see
you, but let your hands glide rather than
quickly toward them. If you always 'e
member that and never lose your preser,-- Of
mind you can handle snakes safely eno-gh.
Many people believe that the snakes 50

A Public Speakers Me DDS.

AS to set speeches of the more oratorical
SORT have tried all methods. Sometimes
write and then read from manuscript, which
Is apt TO detract from the interest of the
speech and to impair the sympathetic rela-
ton between the speaker and his audience.
Sometimes | write, commit carefully and re-
peat from memory, which is the usual and
wise practice with nearly all speakers Some
times arrange line of thought and illus
tration, putting headings on a piece Of paper,
or, what is quite as easy, fixing them in my
mind and depending on the moment of speak
ing for the fitting words Sometimes speak
extemporaneously both as to words and to
material.
l have failed with each method and sue
ceeded with each method. l succeeded hand
somely for me- in some of the first speeches
ever attempted, thirty years ago, and have
lamentably failed in recent ones. The same
speech, delivered, SO far as could see, in the
same manner, has been at one time and place
a success, and at another dismal failure /
am inclined to think, therefore, that the re-
suit depends often largely upon the
atmosphere of the particular occa-
sion reacting upon the speaker
have found myself pumping hard and
ury before a small, scattered audience
half filling hall, and hanging back in the
rear of it, boys playing drum beat on the
floor with their heels, and stragglers lettering
in and out at the doors; and at another time,
with the same speech in great hall, before
a mighty audience, where there was upon me
not only the most intense nervous, but the
most intense physical strain, | have found
myself sailing, it seemed to me, like ship
under full sail before a fresh breeze. have
been indeed led to believe that anything that
tends to physical tension and excitement, like
the effort to fill large hail and to hold the
attention of great audience, is help in
public speaking, and gives tension and ex-
element to the nervous and mental machin-
cry. There are those who also think it i'm
p6rtant, as matter of physical condition, to
refrain from eating before speaking This
seems to me hardly worth while.--John D.

Bathing Pilgrims in India. I

Crowds of people are descending or ascend
ing these many flights of steps, and in front
of them were hundreds bathing in the sacred
stream Our boat was broad keeled, with
sort of arch roof, on which we sat, while
several oarsmen slowly stemmed the strong
current close TO the shore on the city's side
and close to the bathers The view of the
city from the distance was wonderfully fine.
The view of the bathing pilgrims when closely
seen was wonderfully strange and interesting
They We're of ali ages and of both sexes, and
of many conditions-the we'll to do and the
very poorest; the most robust and the emaci-
ated and diseased; the most athletic-their
half naked forms fit model for a sculptors
chisel-and the deformed and shrunken
lmbed ascetic.
Some sprang down the long flights of steps
as if fatigue had never been known; others
were tottering and leaning upon long stats,
or were supported by friends or servants
Some entered the water with JOYOUS faceS,s
and eyes sparkling with hope; others slowly
and reverently, rs if they co1ld scarcely be
thankful and humble enough for the great
boon they were about to enjoy After wading
out to nearly waist deep, ali would place
their hands reverently before them, utter a
prayer evidently in great earnestness, and
then dip themselves under, generally, /
thought three times After this they would
wash themselves with great care scraping
the bottoms Of the feet ana scrubbing the
inside of the mouth as if doing their best to
take some of il out. Many had flowers as
offerings; these they would throw in one
by one as they prayed.-Carter Harrison's
