Are Stones AlIYel

We generally think of minerals as
Jumps of inactive matter But they
may be said to be alive, creatures OF
vital pulsations and separated into in
dividuals as distinct as the pines in
the forest or the tigers in the Jungle.
The disposition of crystals is as
diverse as those of animals. They throb
with unseen currents of energy. They
grow in size as long as they have OPP
portunity. They can be killed, too,
though not as easily as an oak or dog.
A strong electric shock discharged
through crystal will decompose it
very rapidly, if it is of soft structure,
causing the particles to gradually dis
integrate in the reverse order from its
growth, until the poor thing lies a
dead, shapeless ruin. 1t is true the
crystals life is unlike that of higher
creatures. But the difference, between
vegetable and animal life is no greater
than that between mineral and Vege-
table life. Linneus, the great Swedish
naturalist, defined the three kingdoms
by saying: s'Stones grow, plants grow
and feel, animals grow and feel and
move. Wide-awake.

some Of the loud mouthed Republican
Senators. He also reminded the Re-
publicans of the fact that Mr.. Cleye-
land had defeated them every time lie
had ever come in contact with them,
year.
The President has found it necessary
to veto fourteen more unworthy prl-
vate pension bills.
Senator Call spoke in favor of the
fisheries treaty to-day. Last week
Sherman aud Evarts spoke against it,
the latter taking part of two days to
make very prosy talk to an almost
empty Senate chamber, winding up by
giving notice that he would speak
again before the vote was taken.
Senator Call has introduced a bill to
appropriate 5000 200 to pay for proper
ty destroyed in suppressing the yellow
fever in Florida. 1t will be passed
promptly, for the latest news FROM
Florida has created genuine scare.
The Senate has, without "a division,
passed the bill introduced by Mr..
Spooner to regulate commerce carried
on by telegraph. The act is to take
effect Nov. 1st, 1888. Itplaces the tele
graph business under the control of the
Interstate Commerce commission.
1t has been anthoritatively stated
from the White House, that the ru-
mors in regard to the Presidents ask
ing for the resignation of Commits
sioner of Pensions Black, are entirely
without foundation. The relations be-
tween Mr.. Cleveland and General Black
are perfectly harmonious.
The House committee on the mer-
chant marine and fisheries, will to-
morrow begin the investigation of the
Alaska Seal fisheries, authorised by the
recent resolution Of the House. There
is a mine of Republican crookedness in
this matter, and it is believed that the
committee will succeed in exposing it.
Owing to the large excess over the
estimates of a new RAILROAD mail service
put on by the P0stotfice Department,
the Postmaster General has been com
PEELED to ask for a deficiency APP
preparation Of S250,000 for that branch
of the service.
The National Convention of the
American party will meet here to-mor-
row. About three hundred delegates
are expected. They will nominate can-
didates for President and Nice-Presi-
dent.
All the talk about disagreements be
tween Mr.. Cleveland aud the National
Committee is all nonsense. Mr.. Cleve-
land is entirely satisfied with the con-
duct Of the campaign, as far as it has
gone.
Owing to some Objectionable feature
in the river and harbor bill, Mr.. Cleve-
land declined to sign it, but the impor-
lance Of the most of the appropriations
was 50 great that he did not care to We
to it, SO it has been allowed to become Il
law without his signature.

The Boston Journal of Commerce
gives the following as preventative of
cold feet:
'Stand erect and very gradually lift
ones selfup on the tip-toes, so as to
put all the tendons Of the foot at full
strain. This is not to hop or to jump
up and down, hut simply to yise-the
slower tho better-upon tip toe"

Why do so many of onr boys, who
have received good educations, prefer
to become dry goods clerks rather than
printers ? Without attempting to low
er the ability ofthe boys at present en-
gagged in the printing business, We can
truthfully say that there is abundance
OF room for good bright boys, WHO have
an ambition to rise in a business which
is among the most honorable in the list
Of professions. Why boys or young
men prefer to go behind counter and
earn six, seven or ten dollars a week,
rather than enter business where
there is chance for good and thorough
workmen to earn good salaries, has al
ways been a mystery to us. 1t may be
that printers apprentice does not
wear as good clothes as dry goods
clerk; but he does not need to--he
would soon spoil them.-The Superior
Printer.

Ii the farmers of America would give
during tile next ten years the attention
to county roads that they have given
in the past ten to the regulation of rail-
roads and to such legislation as the in
ter-state commerce law, the value of
their farms would be increased twenty
five per cent. The man ten miles
away from the station who has a good
road all the way all tile year round, is
nearer than he who lives three miles on

almost impossible.

The american Hog"

1t was in car on Third avenue
elevated train few days ago. All the
seats were filled by gentlemen going
up town. Suddenly a woman's voice
at the door rang out:
Move up, you American hogs, and
let ladies in. -
Everybody looked to the door, In
came a gorgeously-dressed woman,
with nose like snow-plow on a
western railroad and a hustle nearly
as large as bale of cotton. She led Il
little girl by the hand, and behind
them came well-behaved elderly lady.
''Mabel," said the woman. addressing
the girl, Il don't think any of these
hogs will give you seat. Come up
here; it smells bad back there"
Then the woman moved forward
and stood in front of seat occupied
by four gentlemen, one of whom wore
cork leg and the badge of the old
Twelfth Corps. No one arose to give
the party u seat. The american
hogs" remained absorbed in their pa
pers. The woman talked loudly to the
elderly lady of reception she would
give the uext evening, and wanted her
TO attend. At Forty-seventh street she
went out, remarking, Don't fail to
come to my drawing-room tomorrow.
! shall expect you. Good-by. / hope
some foreign gentleman will give you
seat before you reach Harlem"
When the woman had disappeared
the old Twelfth Corps veteran drew in
his cork leg, arose, and, giving his
seat to the elderly lady, said:
Excuse me, madam. You are evi-
IDENTIFY lady, and you would have had
this seat long ago did l not fear that
your companions would fall into it if /
arose. You are going to her reception
tomorrow evening. Here is my card.
Please assure her that an American
hog has seated you, and that, had she
conducted herself as lady, some other
hog would probably have seated ner.
Your companion is not lady, and if
she has husband, and she will send
him to my Office in the Potter Build
ing, l will tell him So"
The words were uttered in such a
low tone tlat few heard it, but the old
lady took the card without remark
and placed it in her portemonnaie.-

nENTON,s HAIR GR0WEH.

All who are BALD, all who are be-
coming BALD, all who do not want to
be BALD, all who are troubled with
DANDRUFF, or ITCHING of the scalp,
should use Benton's Hair Grower.
EIGHTY PER CENT. of those using it
have grown hair. 1t never fails to
stop the hair from falling. Through
sickness and fevers the hair sometimes
falls off in a short time, and although
the person may have remained bald
for years, if you use Benton's Hair
Grower according to directions, you
are sure of growth of hair. In hun,
dreds of cases we have produced a good
growth of hair on persons who have
been bald and glaE I'd for years. We
have fully substantiated the following
facts.
We grow hair in every case no mat.
ter how long bald.
Unlike other preparations ii contains
no sugar of lead. or vegetable or min
eral poisOns.
1t is specific for falling hair, dan
druff, and itching of the scalp.
The Hair Grower is bair food, and
its composition is almost exactly like
the oil which supplies the hair with
its vitality.
Ifyour druggists have not got it we
will send it prepaid on receipt Of pr'ce.

Man, Not Revolution,st.

"When August Spies was editor OF
the Arbeiter," said one who used to be
Spies chum and associate, ''he was
anything but sincere in his Socialistic
beliefs. ! don't care snap about this
Socialism business he used to say; i
must make my living somehow. and if
did not edit the Arbeiter and lead the
party somebody else would. l may as
well do it as anybody Spies at one
time drew three salaries-$25 a week
as editor of the Arbeiter, $15 week as
secretary of the Socialistic Publishing
Company, and $40 OF $25 a week as
business manager of the newspaper.
He was then a brainy but light-hearted
young man, his chief concern in life
being, not Socialism or revolution,
but one or more of the various love af-
fairs which he always had on hand.
He was Il handsome, dashing fellow,
had many admirers among the ladies,
and for time there was no pleasure
in life so keen as that to be found in
the making of new conquest. Too
much of an egotist to love anybody
but himself very deeply, he still pos
sessed the faculty of charming most of
the young women whom he met.-Chi-
