HOME coMFoRTs IN suMMER.

While others to the ocean go,
Or on the mountains roam,
And struggle with the crowds, know
Enough to stay at home.
While others toss upon o cot
Or in buggy bed,
And starve and swelter when it's hot
Al home I'm way ahead.
No bowl and pitcher with rub
OF yellow soap can beat
My clean and spacious bathing tub
Within my home so sweet.
Instead Of tipping walters
Just tip my chair OF ease,
And have at homo a full supply
OF any thing please.
Instead of dressing FOR a show
And at a sad expense,
At home in negiigee go
With comfort, o, immense.
Instead of being forced to pay
The value OF the earth.
For nothing 1 at home can stay
And get my moneys worth.
Instead OF being snubbed and tn. own
In some strange attic, hot;
/, in a house that's all my own,
Can choose the coolest spot.
But don't suppose never take
A little time for fun;
like the ocean aud the lake
And mountains-every one.
Isimply wait until the sty-
Lish season has its close,
Because o man as wise as I
Takes comfort where he goes.

Died from rirht I.acInr.

A verdict Of death from tight lacing
comes from Birmingham jury, ex-
pressed as verdict of ''Death from press
ure round the waist" The subject was a
servant girl who died after a fright, and
her death was attributed by the medical
witness to the fact that she was laced too
tightly to enable her to stand any sudden
emotion. She was notorious tight lacer,
not only at the waist. Her collar fitted so
closely that 1t was impossible to loosen it
at the critical moment. Under her corsets
she wore tightly-buckled belt

clearly within the jurisdiction of the
United States. Under Harrison,
Window orders the arrest of every

This brings matters to a focus and

THE Waco Day of May 2Sth prints
the following as an editorial:
"a Washing ton special to the At
lanta Constitution says there was an
open rupture in the cabinet last Sat
urday and the Secretaries Blaine,
Proctor and Window rendered their
designations, to take effect at once, if
certain changes were not made. Sec
rotary Blaine opened the question by
delivering point blank at the presi-
dent an ultimatum to the effect that if
he couldn't have some latitude in the
state department he most positively
declines to- remain in his present ecu "
ocal position any longer. Secretary
Proctor Immediately Endorsed all Mr..
Blaine had said, and declared that
his resignation would immediate
ly follow Mr.. Blaine's. Secretary
Window did not 60 quite so
far, but assisted the other mem ers in
their efforts to convince the president
that cabinet officers must be heads of
their departments, in deed as we'll as
in name. He said he could not afford
to remain in mere clerical position
The outbreak was on account of the
presidents refusal to make certain APP
pointments asked for by the three sec
retaries, aggravated at the cabinet
meeting on Saturday by his declara-
ton that he intended to have his own
way in all selections for office"
A most emphatic, positive, categor,
zeal denial was given to this report in
a dispatch from Washington given
the press of this state two days before
the Days issue containing the above
Why not give the other dispatch as
well, and afford the democratic read
ers Of the Day the benefit of the EN-
phatic denial made by Messrs. Blaine

truth of the above.

Mexican Poems as Workers.
Correspondence Philadelphia Record.

Correspondence Philadelphia Record.
Speaking of the peon, I think to
most travellers in Mexico, one OF the
most astonishing things must be the
apparent difference between account Is
read of his laziness and shiftlessness
and what one really secs of him in
the city or country. I should say.
from several months observation of
them, that the average Peon far ex-
ceeds our best negro workers of the
South in industry and energy. On
the streets you oftener see them on a
brisk walk, or, as in the case of the
cargadores, even on trOt, than at the
slouching gait of most of our Southern
colOred laborers. The peon is more ig-
norant than the latter, due to his iso-
lation from higher civilization, but
would unhesitatingly say that his
natural intelligence is greater. He
works for smaller wages than the
negro, getting on an average about IS
frugal-as rule little fonder of his
pulque or tequilla than the negro is of
his whisky, but also, as a rule, faith
full and good-natured.
In the country they will often be
met long before daylight driving their
burros or carrying on their own backs
burdens into a market town twenty
or thirty miles away. The load they
carry and distances they frequently
make with them are almost incredible,
L have known one peon to carry on
his back, by means of the peculiar
pack of the country, eighty good sized
water jars a distance of fifteen miles
in morning. In the city one is
struck by their alert, polite ways.
They are very susceptible of kind
ness and equally quick to resent Sc
verify of language from a stranger.
Outside of the cities I have found
them noticeably honest, and even in
the cities they would rank far above
the Mexican II observe the distinc-
tion made by Mr.. Bishop, 1 think, of
calling Mexican" the mixed blood of
the Spanish and native, and applying
the term INDIAN" or "peon," ac-
cording to the class, to the pure
blooded nativel in this respect. The
old hereditary traits of the Latin race
will crop out, even mixed with other
blood and transplanted to other soil.

CurIoSitieS of Figures.

From the Boston Pilot.
A problem that, at a glance, seems
enough to tempt many a school-boy
to spend a portion of his vacation in
an endeavor to solve it, appeared re-
Gently in Maine journal, and is as
follows: Take the number is, multi
1t by itself and you have 225. Now
multiply 225 by itself, and then null
tiply that product by itself, and so on
until fifteen products have been null
tiplied by themselves in turn. The
question aroused considerable inter-
est among lawyers in Portland, and
their best mathematician, after strug-
Cling with the problem long enough
to see how much labor was entailed
in the solution, made the following
discouraging report upon it: 1.-THE
final product called for contains 49,
$50 figures, the first of which are l442.
Allowing three figures to an inch, the
answer would be over 1910 feet long.
To perform the operation would re-
quire about 5O0,00O,000 figures. If
they can be made at the rate of 60 a
minute, person working ten hours
a day for 300 days each year would be
twenty-eight years about it. If, in
multiplying, he should make row
of ciphers, as he does in other figures,
the number of figures would be more
than 523 ,939, Z2S. This would be the
precise number of figures used if the
product of the left hand figure in
each multiplicand by each figure OF
the multiplier was always single
figure; but as it Is most frequently,
and yet not always, two figures, the
method to obtain the foregoing result
can not be accurately applied. AS
Stunning that the cipher is used on an
average once in ten times, ATS ,000, 000,-
600 approximates the actual num-
ber.n

Prosperous Pretty Alma

Under the above heading appeared
the following kind words for Alma in
the Grand Rapids Democrat for May
Sth:
Alma is thriving this summer. The
college is growing more popular each
year, the town is growing and the
Sanitarium has, under the excellent
management of DR.. Morris Hale
become one of the leading institutions
of the kind in the northwest. mvalids
and rest seekers from dozen states
beyond the confines of Michigan find
health and comfort here. The fresh
breezes OF the past few days give proof
of the attractions Of Alma as an in
land summer resort, its height above
the lakes, it being at the water shed
between the Grand River and Saginaw
Valleys, bringing to it apparently a
different stratum of air from that
which reaches the surface in any OF
the larger cities of the state. The
more the fine mineral waters here are
tested for medicinal properties the
greater their efficacy is shown to be
in the treatment of diseases for which
their use is known to be beneficial, anG
not only is this so, but not montl
passes during which new curative
properties are not discovered in them
The Sanitarium is well equipped with
all the modern appliances of such
institutions, including electricity
Swedish movement, and all kinds OF
curative agents. The site of the San
itarium is fine, with fine airy rooms
and beautiful grounds, and the park
near by forms an admirable field for
exercise and promenades. DR.. Hale
has, since his management of the
Sanitarium, made many wonderful
cures, and patients who have been
under his care are unstinted in their
praise of him.

EDITOR ALMA RECORD
Dear Sir Will you
please allow me space in your columns
TO vindicate the character of a young
lady pow attending school at Alma,
who has been unJustly assailed by the
correspondent of the Ithaca Herald
at our place, under the name of
"Prowler." Now Mr.. Prowler, let me
say to you kindly that "those who live
in glass houses should not throw
stones.n The young lady whose name
you are so afraid to speak Cor fear of
polluting your sanity lips is in my
estimation head and shoulders above
your whole household. So far as her
receiving help in getting certificate
is concerned, the helping was on the
other hand. | would not have been so
mean and low as To make such charges
as you did. all things considered. The
young lady has certificate in full
force from our County Board of Ex-
aminers, of good moral character, etc
| think it was worthily bestowed, and
| know whereof l speak. 1t is much
to her credit that she is attending
school in order to more thoroughly
prepare herself for the profession of
teaching, which she has successfully
begun. THE slanderer, is a thief of
the lowest grade; he steals from others
that which does not enrich him, but
makes them poor indeed " Don't get
so low in your items next time, Mr..
p, and we will not notice you.
