They saw us farmers cast our ballots
On election day.
They know their time is very short,
And can never fool us more;
Just watch them as they skulk away
Out of the White House door.
Chorus:
The farmers shout ha ha!
The thieves they run, he! he!
The people are awaking up
For the year of jubilee.
We sent them on to Washington;
We thought they could be trusted;
But they sold us out to syndicates,
And we are nearly busted.
They legislate for syndicates,
Railroads and pet banks;
But when we ask them to help us,
They say that we are cranks.
Old Foghorn Funston, he is called;
And another one; John j..
Well tell them what we think of them,
On election day.
Wen send our Allen to Washington
10 take old FOghorn's chair;
For on election day this fall
There'll be music in the air.
Chorus:
There's money in the White House eel

And the people will haye some;
They want it to lift their mortgages

Well make the ShylOcks all disgorge
The money they stole from us,
And if they give us any sass
You bet there'll be a mllss.
Chorus:
So Foghorn Funston we are talking
10 you and old John j.,
And other frauds i'm Washington;
just listen to what we say.
The grandson of your grand-dad,
When your four years are out,
Well send man to take your place,
And you'll 60 up the spout.
So all you rascals big and little,
Lean, fat and tall;
You'll find out that we are i'm earnest
When we go to vote this fall.
Then sound the bugle; beat the drum;
The Rogue's March We'll play;
SO pack your buds and fall in line;
Old Fog will lead the way.

FISHING BY ELECTRIC LIGHT.
How the Deep Seas Are Illumined by tn,
Wires.

In the investigations that were I'M
dertaken by the prince of Monaco in
deep-sea soundings an ingenious
method was adopted TO obtain speci-
mems of the living creatures existing at
the bottom of the ocean. The appara-
tus used was shown at the Paris exhibit
ton. the cage in which the submarine
animals were caught. according to lie
Genie CiCii, consisted of cylinder OF
wire having three conical entrances,
like those of a lobster pot, and weighted
for submerson with detachablew weights.
1t was, however, very unlikely that at
these immense depths, where the dark
ness is practically total, any fish would
voluntarily find their way into the
trap, and steps were taken to attract
them by a light placed inside it. Obvi-
ously, no light was available but an
electric light, but to get an electric
light to burn mile or two under water
was not easy. The only resource was
to supply the incandescent wire from a
battery in the trap. Here. however
another difficulty occurred. it was
necessary to inclose the battery. which
had to be of considerable power in a
box of some kind, and as the hydrosta-
tic pressure of such depths was COO or
700 pounds per square inch 1t was
found impossible TO make box which
was not crushed before it reached its
destination. At last, however, this
trouble was overcome by the curious
device of connecting the box with o
balloon. The balloon was made OF
cloth dipped in India-rubber, and so
arranged that the air in it was in conf
munication with that in the battery
box. On sinking the apparatus the
hydrostatic pressure, being virtually
uniform all around the balloon. COM
pressed it equally on all sides, forcing
the air out of it into the battery-box,
until the pressure inside the box and
balloon exactly balanced the pressure
outside. This process went on to any
extent, so that at the bottom of the sea,
although the balloon was reduced by
the enormous force exerted on it to a
small fraction of its original size, it still
kept the internal and external pres
sures equal. On raising the apparatus
again it expanded as the pressure
diminished, and brought the battery
box to the surface uninjured. SO suc-
cessful was this device that not con-
tent with capturing deep-sea fish, the
prince and his assistants propose on
their next expedition to send down a
Photographic apparatus and bring back
negatives of the bottom of the oceah, as
seen by the electric light.

and my Japanese friends ate 1t with
great gusto. In Corea it is not I'M
common fer the fishermen to take
bottle of pepper-sauce along with them
and eat fish as they take it from the
hook, sprinkling bit of red-hot chilli
over it, and eating it down without
cleaning anything off except the scales.
The Coreans are by no means par
ticular as to the manner in which their
fish and meals are served. The en-
trails are sold and eaten as well as the
rest of the meat. and common dish
at a big dinner is chicken baked,
feathers, entrails and all and served
whole on the table. The Corean is the

Nikita.

A charming pen-picture of Nikita,
'the miniature Patti" comes to us
from Glasgow. Scotland, says DemoreSt's
Magazine, where this wonderfully gifted
young songstress appeared recently:
"All eyes are eXpectantly fixed on the
platform. and there she comes, a young,
slender girl, bowling to the audience in
a most bewitching way. She is simply
dressed in white, her long. wavy hair
tied back with white ribbon, and, as
she opens her lips, we hear sweet.
ripping stream of purest melody, gath
ering strength and depth as it flows,
wild enthusiasm. 1t is German song
with a wonderful echo in it, and we
seem to be among the mountains, hear
ing the birds sing, and the Alpine horns
answering TO each other from the
heights. 1t is simply marvellous, and
marvelously beautiful. There seems
no effort, and there is no flaw or failure
in the echo. 1t sounds far, far away,
and yet there is the fair girl singing
before us. For farewell she gives us
birdsong. The voice is like lark
and Unite, n mavis and blackbird,
and now again like n nightingale. In
deed. it is like grove full of birds on
spring morning; but the woods are
soon silent, and it is autumn, and the
birds are away. Nikita has gone"
And the possessor of this marvellous
voice is only in her 18th year, and is
stanch little American. whom we may
hope soon to hear in her native laud.

Jane Simmons is little squatty
mulatto of about 80 years of age. She
was born and reared in Milledgeville
and was probably the first woman in
Georgia to adopt the life of a butcher
as her chosen profession. She began
it, though. twenty years ago, and has
made remarkable success in her bus
mess. She had been the first assistant
of Mr.. Dolly Ellison, who says she is
the best butcher in the country. She
can kill. clean, and cut up more hogs
in day than any man in Baldwin
county, and she does it with such ease
and grace that the entire populacc are
constrained to marvel at her skill. She
enters n cowpen, chooses her beef,
slaughters it. and has it ready for mar
ket In less time than it would take TO
tell it. Taken all in all, she is the
quickest and best butcher In the coun-
try, and she would not exchange posi-
