The Thurman BANQUET.

Last night there assembled in the civ
OF Columbus, Ohio, representative Demo-
Gratis from all over the country, to 4
honor to one Of'the greatest men Of tie
present century. Hon. Allen @. Thur.
man of Ohio celebrated yesterday the
completion of the nth. year Of hiS
life, and the Thurman Club Of Columbus
marked 1t by a dinner to q thousand
guests. Representative men from all
over the Union were there. and It was !
veritable love feast. The speeches rang
with Democracy, and coming upon tho
heels of the glorious victory Of last week
it was peculiarly appropriate. Allen q.
Thurman may be regarged as the embo-
diment OF Democracy. Plain and simple
in his life. direct and straightforward IN
his dealings, upright and open in his
acts, rugged in his honesty Of pprposs,
Of the people and for the people, he ,has
been for generation chosen leader OF
his party and tower Of strength TO tks
Democracy, not only in Ohio, but In the
whole Union.
1t is a source Of cOngratulation, to ms
all, both as Democrats and Americana,
that this grand representative American
bears well his weight ef wears, both ply,
sically and mentally, and that althoug&
he has long since passed the allotsd
"three-score years and ten" like that
other great leader Of men, whom In
character he so greatly resembles, the
fire of his eye hath not dimmed nor bic
natural force abated." Long yet may hs
live to guide his people and his party By
his counsels and to serve as an example
to the youag men of this day and gsner-.
alton of that modest work Of God-an
honest man."-New Delta, Nov. IA.

The palo:o is probably the most
curious table delicscy in the world. 1t
is a worm about as thick as strand of
yarn and from five TO eight inches
long. 1t Is caught once a year near the
Samoan Islands and l. eaten by the
native Samoans. Very early IN the
morning OF the first day of the last
quarter of the November moon hun
dreds Of small boats full of Samoaus
put out from the shore near Apia to
the coral reefs. Every beat is provided
with fine nets stretched between bent
sticks and attached 10 a short handle.
At the reefs a little skirmishing for
the best places, many collisions, good
bit of Samoan cursing, aud any amount
of singing aud shouting precede the
fishing. Then an occasional shout Of
'.Palolol palolo!'' is heard as some one
scoops in a netful of worms. Sud
denly the water begins to crawl. 1t
seems to be boiling with tiny water
snakes. The natives throw down thei-
/ paddles and grasp their nets.
Those who have no nets snatch up
baskets, sieves, anything that will hold
worms and not water, and begin to
scoop in the palolos. They work with
tremendous energy, for they realize
that the minute the sun rises ths palo-
los will be of again for another year.
Buckets, baskets, bowls and platters
tie filed with the tiny squirming
worms, yet the natives work on with
{ . will which the white folks have rare
r given them the credit for possessing.
The sun rises, and all is over. The
Erlolos are gone, no one knows where,
sd the SamOans put back TO shore
With their catch. In sea water the pa
lsl'. can be kept alive for hours. With
orI water they die in IA few minutes.
Hcssted palolOs are Of dzrk-brown

Col. F. D. Curti. saws: Dairy cows
should be fed twice only day. The
dairy COW needs rest as well as food.
shs will eat more slowly, masticate
more and digest her food better if she
gets two meals at regular intervals.
The meals should be full ones. A
quiet and contented habit should be
cultivated IN the cows. Such habits
are conducive to a greater production.
Cows should always be kept in com
Portable condition, and never be ex-
posed to the cold. This means that
the COW will yield more milk on much
less feed than if she is exposed TO the
weather as she commonly Is. ! shall
keep my milking dairy this Winter all
the time in a stable which will not
neeze and shall feed and water them
thsre. / shall keep them Beddcd and

profound Youngster.

There was a convention of Sunday
school teachers in session at Crystal
Lake and ali the teachers of the three
counties represented were there. The
amount of Biblical and theological
knowledge they had was something
astounding. On the last day of the
convention the high chief ranger of the
affair announced TO the 400 delegates
that he would be pleased TO have the
knowing ones think up some hard ques-
tions on subjects pertaining to their
work, write them on slips of paper,
and submit them to him, and that
evening at the last session, which was
to be a sort of entertainment, be would
answer them. a lot of people wrote
their questions and gave them to the
great professor, and when evening
came he had about fifty good gnarly
problems in his bunch Of paper slips.
The evenings exercise began with
reading and answering the questions,
and though some of them were from
away back and very obtuse, the good
old man who had put himself up there
as mark coped with them successfully,
and impressed the great gathering with
his vast knowledge.
Finally he ran against question
that made him knit his brows. He
scowled at it moment and then laid
it aside. When he answered all the
rest lie picked up the side-tracked
query and said:
Here is a question which l confess
am unable TO answer. L submit to
the audience, and if anyone is able to
give me the answer l win be glad to
hear what it is.
Then he read this query:
"Who was the boy and what was
mis- name who held the basket contain
ing the five loaves and two fishes which
fed the multitude?
Nobody made any effort TO answer
it, and the professor said:
"It seems that nobody knows any
more about it than l do. l Will have
TO call on the person who submitted
the question to come forward and
answer it. VIII you please do so:"
To the great surprise of the 400 peo-
pie, and his mother as well, Frank
Jones, a thirteen-year-old schOol-boy,
got up and modestly walked up the
aisle. Everybody looked at hIm
amazed. The professor said:
"Did you submit this question:
ayes, sir"
"Can you answer it?"
ayes, sir"
"Well, am sure everybody viii be
glad TO hear IL"
"The boy" said Frank quietly but
steadily, ben Ezra, son OF Miriam,
who was a sister of Philip, one OF the
twelve disciples"
A murmur Of astonishmeut ran over
the audience. Here was something too
deep for even the professed theologians
in convention assembled. The pro-
fessor turned TO the boy:
"Did You lind that in the Biblet'
''No, sir"
"Where, then, did you get it,"
