TALKING BORES.

GREAT takers are often found in
the District COnferences-men who
must talk on every subject, no mat
ter how much has been said nor
how many have talked. The work
of a small body is often impeded
more than helped by these everlast-
ing, never-ceasing takers. The
man in the chair who can quench
this flame of vOlubility Is a needed
decentralization Methodist.
There are other bodies bored be.
sides conferences with such ever
lasting takers. 1t is within the
recollection of u great number Of
delegates to Sunday School conven.
tions, where the same can be said
of takers. The program was gone
drought with, giving the varioni
subjects with the opening, closing
and central debaters, John Jones
and Abraham Smith, with portions
of what they said; closing eacl
subject with the characteristic re
mark, short talks were given b,
Others, leaving the impression
which was true, that after Jone
and Smith had delivered them
selves there was only room for
few words from any one else. Oh
inquiry 1t was learned that neithe
Jones nor Smith attended Sunda
School.

LAW SHOULD GOVERN,

The compromising with persons
charged with misdemeanOrs and
crimes is a bad arrangement. If
this thing is INDUCED in too much,
it will bring about state of things
that will be deplored by all. The
same thing has been INDUCED in,
in other localities where lynching,
whipping and other practices were
introduced 10 the disgrace of all.
Better let the law settle all these
things. Parties who violate the
law know the penalties and there
fore its right to let them abide the
decisions of the courts. Its bad
thing for organized bands of men
attempting to take the law into
their hands, as great wrongs are
often perpetrated by such organi.
cations.

AMERICAN STEAMSHIP LINES.

President Harrison, in his insug-
ural address said:
ave should encourage the estab-
lishment Of American steamship
lines. The exchanges Of commerce
demand stated, reliable and rapid
means of communication, and until
these are provided, the develop
ment Of our trade with the states
lying south Of US is impossible"
In discussing this subject In the
New York Tribune, Mr.. Hill says

sionally to be seen in almost Any vi
lage street. where his master makes
him dance, climb trees and perform
other tricks for the amusement Of the
lockers on. But bear trained like
tho one described is a very rare OBJ
ject ~
A California village witnessed a
novel sight not long ago-a China
man galloping along the street on the
back OF large black bear. The bear
was bridled and saddled in the regular
fashion, and his rider wore a heavy
pair Of spurs.
: The Chinaman, it seems, caught the
bear when it was small cub, and
took it to his cabin. He cared for il
tenderly, and when it was large
enough, trained it to draw small
wagon and perform numerous tricks
"Chowchy," as he named his cap
tive, has always been a great pet. II
runs about wherever it pleases, but
always returns to its master when
called, and follows him like dog.
As soon as it grew strong enough,
its master began riding on its back, q
performance TO which Chowchy never
made any objection.
Apparently the bear took it az q
simple matter Of course; but as will
readily be believed, the sight of man
starting out on q hunting or cshine
expedition, mounted upon bears
back, always produces something of 9
sensation among the bystanders.
The animal is so well trained thai
it brings game a. well Is q retriever,
and, taken all in all, is q most inter
esting specimenof its kind. -Youth'l

Even the most cursory observee Of
vegetable life must have bean often
struck with the various forms Of
leaves. Why they should b 20 vsri.
ously formed does not however, often
suggest itself, though there i . rea.
son Tor thespecial shape and texture Of
almost every leaf in existence. Plants
such = grasses, daffodilA and others
which usually grow In clusters, have
generally narrow leaves growing up
right, 20 - not to overshadow ono an.
other. Other plants Of isolated habits,
have an arrangement Of foliage which
secures to themselves the space a

ment The daisy, dandelion or shop

seen in pastures-are examples Of this.
A circle Of broad leaves pressed against
the ground, forming what is known
- a rosette growth, efectually bars
the approach Of any other plant and
keeps clear from all other roots tho
space Of ground necessary to its own
nutriment. Floating leaves, and leaves
Of marsh plants are usually Of simple
outline, for, having few competitors,
they are not liable to get in one an.
others light Submerged plants have
mostly leaves Of narrow segments-
the reason for which Is not very we'll
understood, though it IL assumed by
naturalists that it is for the purpose Of
exposing as large q surface as possible,

ton of carbonic acid dissolved in a
vast bulk Of water.
Leaves on the boughs of trees are
often much divided, 80 az to fold cas-
lily, to prevent their being rent and
torn by high winds, while the glossy
surface Of evergreers is intended to
throw of rain and dew, which might
freeze on them, and 80 cause injury to
the tissues within. But the hairs on
the surface Of leaves are perhaps the
most interesting study Of all. With
the aid Of q microscope, the beautiful
and systematic arrangement of these
can be easily discerned, and their uses
understood. On many plants there are
glandular hairs to catch or deter small
creeping insects; ON others there are
hairs set 20 as to act as effectively
against young animals as spike pail

other, hairs which arrest the drops Of
moisture and force them down the

IT WOULD be well for the Republicans of Bal
timore county to keep their eyes wide open
about this time. From certain things that
have come to our knowledge within the last
two weeks we are led to believe that there is a
movement on foot in this county to get up
fusion movement and that certain Democrats
and Republicans are working together to ac-
complish this end. The plan appears to be to
have matters all cooked and primed before
hand and by this means send only such dele
gates to the Republican county convention
who will favor the fusion movement. If the
Republicans of Baltimore county are willing
to submit to such a scheme as this, all right.
We feel it our duty to warn them and If they
10 not approve the plan-and we do not think
will-they know how to prevent its con-
ion. The people would not be likely
