Democrats will Not Assess Them

LOSSES,

1IOSSBSs
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The Demo
cratic house caucus. which was called to
meet tonight, was abandoned. 1t was
the purpose of the caucus to determine
what position, if any, the party should
take in regard to the Silcott deficiency,
and it was generally understood that
proposition was to be submitted that
the Democrats assess themselves indi-
vldually to make good Republican
losses. Mr.. Holman circulated the cali
and secured the requisite number of
signatures, but as it appeared that there
was strong opposition to the purpose
for which the caucus was to be held, it
was abandoned.

The Organ Won.

Down on Main street the other day two
beggars ran opposition hand organ ap-
peals for charity One wore sign on
his breast telling that he was blind; the
other had lost both his legs below the
knees. The blind man, however, touched
the public heart, and but few who
dropped small coins for him had any
charity left for the legless man on the
other side. The latter stood it for
while, looking glumly at his more fort
unate fellow mendicant and playing the
'.Star Spangled Banner" Suddenly an
idea struck him and he ceased his patri-
otic tune and changed his music roll.
Out of the organ came blithely "Pull
Down the Blind" The crowd caught
on and for fifteen minutes the legless
man got big share of the dimes and
quarters. Kansas City Globe.

Why the Sky Is Blue.

Professor Hartley, of London, has been
trying to find out why the sky is blue.
His experiments show that the color
arises from the action of ozone upon the
rays of light. The results of his exami-
nation of ozonized air go to prove that it
is impossible for rays of light to pass
through SO little as five miles of air with
out the rays being colored sky blue by
the ozone commonly present, and that
the blue of objects viewed on clear day
at greater distances up to thirty-five to
fifty miles must be almost entirely the
blueness of ozone in the air." In his
laboratory experiments he observed that
the quantity Of ozone giving full sky
blue in tube only two feet in length is
2,500,00 milligrammes in each square
centimetre of sectional area in the tube.

A Rival of the Virginia Natural Bridge.

High up in the crest of the mountains
on the Birmingham, Sheffield and Ten
nessee River railroad there is to be found
one of natures wonders. 1t is a natural
bridge, as complete, as perfect, as SYM
metrical, and, in some essentials, more
remarkable than the great natural bridge
of Virginia.
The bridge lies between the stations of
Lynn and Delmar. 1t is about fifty-eight
miles from Sheffield and twenty mine
miles from Jasper. Its length from abut-
ment to abutment is IT'S feet. Its width
is 25 feet, and the thickness ranges from
4 to 6 feet. 1t is Of pure sand stone, and
has no doubt stood the climate changes
of ages. Leaning over the bridge you
see in the ravine which it spans, some
sixty feet below, the simmer and sparkle
Of many springs Of clear, limpid water,
which bubble from the sandstone soil,
and joining flow down the ravine. A
singular feature is subdivision or small
ler bridge, constructed on the same pat
tern, perhaps even more perfect lines,
which leads from one side of the bridge
proper.-Tuscumbia North Alabamian.

The late Queen Mary of Bavaria is said
to have been as warmly devoted and
blindly obedient to her son, King Lud-
wig II, as she had been to her husband,
King Max. From the day Of his acces-
sion, she looked upon him more as 9
king than son.
A story is told which shows how dearly
mother and son loved each other. They
were gazing out of one Of the windows
in the frescoed hall of Hohenschwangau
with one of the finest views in the world
before them-the green Schwansee in the
foreground, the pine clad hills reflected
in its pure surface, and above all, the
noble mountains stretching on every
side. The king drank in the wild beauty
Of lake and mountain, and raised his
eyes to the sky. The queen. who never
scared too high, gazed with delight at an
imposing pine which lowered high above
the window at which they stood. Sud-
denly the queen exclaimed: "What a
glorious Christmas tree this would make
If we could decorate It'll"
The king passed his hand over his
eyes, smiled and kissed her. That was
in August. In December he expressed a
wish to spend Christmas at Hohen-
schwangau. The queen, always willing
to do what he wished, followed him
thither. On Christmas eve, with loving
care, she decorated a little tree, and, as
in the days when she was mother of
90, she rang the bell to call her children.
The great event Of the evening seemed
over, the lights were blown out, when
suddenly gong sounded, King Ludwig
took his mothers hand, and, leading her
to the window out Of which they had
gazed together that morning in August,
he pushed back the shutters and disclos-
ed to her astonished eyes the gigantic
tree lighted with a thousand wax can
dies, which burned bright in the frosty
night and were reflected in the snow and
icicles on trees and shrubs saround.-Lon-

BIBLE WINE.-Dr. JOHN ELLIS.

wines procured bottle of Speer's
unfermented Grape juice and subject
ed it to.a chemical test. He did not
find trace of alcohol, and after re-
ferring to it in his book on Bible
wines says that "Here, then, we
have an unfermented wine actually in
the market, which the writer thinks is
far more palatable than fermented
wine, and is unpolluted by leaven.
Many religious societies are using this
wine, and there is no reason for con-
tinuing to use leavened wine while
there is an unfermented wine already
in the market" Sold by Druggists.

Where They Don't Drink Jamaica Rum.

A. w. Rogers has just returned from
a two months sojourn in Jamaica, and
is rejoicing in what is to him compare
lively COO, weather. He said: They
don't make molasses for export in Ja-
maica any more. Everything they can
get for the purpose is put into rum. Rum
brings more than sugar, and anything
that will decay or ferment is put into it.
If you knew the stuff they put into rum
you would confine your drink-if you
drink-to potato whisky. Why, sticks,
straw, any decayed vegetable substance
seems good enough in the eyes of the
planters of Jamaica to put into their
rum. The natives of the island and the
operatives in the mill don't drink it.
Their chief drink is sugar and water. -
