Commenting on recent article on the
opal superstition, Manager Leigh S. Lynch
said "If size has anything to do with it,
moro than the usual amount of disaster and
dislnay should have followed the very large
and lustrous opal I once got from Mcxico.

house for tho purpose of buying pair OF
brushes. They had nothing that suited mo
until the salesman flshed from an upper shelf
pair of c3quisitely carved brushes. These

'There was q chance for psychological
meditation in the incident, but simply called
it good luck that gave me the brushes at less
than one-third their value. In tho next few
months, while Iworc tho opal, I twice missed,

Tho Dirty Window Pane.

A tidy houscFccpcr of Lisbon, Nc, was
much troubled by certain window pane in

get it clean. She tried acids, alcohol and
window rubbors to no purpose. Her husband
laughed at her and said be could clean that
glass. lie tried. 1t remained just as dingy
as before. Then the housckecper called in
glazicr and told him to take out the Offend
ing glass. lie started to do so, and found
that somehow or other t,"o panes Of glass had
been set in that sash, and the inside of each
pane was dusty. Of course the dust couldn't
bo reached by washing. 1t was very SIM

Killed n White Deer.

One of the rarcst of wild animals, white
deer, was killed few days ago near Snow
shoe mountain, Clinton county, Pa, by Pro
thonotary Mann, of Sunbury. 1t was nearly
pure white, and one of the largest does ever
killed in the region But three white deer
were ever killed before in this part of tho
state. Old hunters generally believe in the
backwoods superstition that to kill white
deer forbodc evil to its slayer, and all who

The Northern Pacific will this year put into
use four new rotary steam snow shovels. Tho
apparatus somewhat resembles box car,
containing a stationary engine, which works

THE report of x-GovernOr Pattison,
of Pennsylvania upon the stupendous
robberies of the Pacific land grant and
subsidy railways puts the facts in a
shape which all can understand,
although the case is somewhat intricate.
Governor Pattison's two colleages on
the Commission substantially agree in
the presentation of the facts. Had
these roads been managed as prudent
and honest debtor would manage his
affairs, with a view to pay his debts,
while the millionaires would not be
Haunting their wealth before the world,
the government debt would have been
totally extinguished before now. Pub
lie opinion will demand that Congress
and the courts shall take decisive
action to protect the people not merely
against money loss, but against the
audacity of men who seem to care for
no laws and to respect no rights of the
people. The New York Times says of
Governor PattisOn's plan to put the
roads in the hands of receivers, wind up
their affairs, wipe out the great mass of
obligations, and let them take a new
start on solid ground, and to bring
suits, civil and criminal, against all
wrongdoers and viOlators of the law
engaged in their management, that it is
not "the plan of a narrow and impracti-
cable person so much as that of stern
moralist who revolts at allowing the
perpetrators of iniquity to get off with
the fruits of their plots and schemes on
condition of making new promise to
pay a debt which they have treated
with derisiOn"

Now while the howl of the Demo
cratic party all over the land is for a
reduction of the tariff, the commits
sioner of navigation makes his report
of the shipping interest, showing that
it 'is in deplOrable condition. Pitts
burg Gazette.
In 1857, under a Democratic revenue
policy of moderate incidental protec-
tion, seventy-fve per cent. of the for
eign carrying trade of the United
States was done in American vessels.
In 1887, after near thirty years of Re
publican tariff tinkering, with the out
come Of monopoly, combination and
trusts, although our foreign trade has
more than doubted, less than fourteen
per cent. is carried in American vessels.
In fact Yankee flag and a Yankee
crew, except as regards the coastwise
trade, has disappeared from the high
seas. 1t is true, as the Gazette says,
our shipping interest is in a deplora-
BILE condition" but it is the Republican
party that has wrecked it.-[Pittsburg

BOSTON coal dealers lately attempted
to extort high prices from the United
States government for coal for the
United States buildings in that city.
When bids were opened in response to
an advertisement for proposals the
prices named in the bids were the same
-$7.22 per ton for broken coal and
1925 for egg. Instead of awarding the
contract at those figures, an agent of
the government was sent to Philadel-
phia to contract for supply, free on
board, at 81 per ton. After paying for
freight, insurance, unloading and cart
age, the government saved nearly 50
per ton. The combination scheme did
not work that time.
