try. from 1916 down TO and through the
war period. presenting his facts in 4
clear and well-underStood manner, ac-
companyiug them with pertinent COM
ments and apt Illustrations.
The Governor incidentally mentioned
the name of George Wesley Atkinson,
and remarked that G.. w. was not in ii
this Year. He had looked the situation
over. and had decided not to mount the
sacriicial altar this time. He was per-
fectly willing that some other lamb
should be- led 20 the slaughter.
They say the tariff is not a tax. Well,

pie that every man Of them has received

THE SPEECH.

The Governor said il was always a
matter Of qualification to him TO meet u
Democratic audience, especially in this,
the chief manufacturing city OF the
state. He yielded to no man in his in
terest in the manufacturing interests OF
this state and the country, but he differed
radically from the mOnOpOliStic orators
I'm their conception of what was for the
best interests Of the industries of the
country. Parenthetically the Governor
said it would have given him the great
est qualification TO have met some OF
the big gun" speakers on the opposite
side. but he had no desire, nor time,
TO meet the pop-gun and penny whistle
speakers among them. Republicans
used to say, "Wait Until we
get the Democrats down Squarely
TO the tariff issue" Well,
we are down sQuarely on that issue, and
vet. when we ask the Republicans to
meet us at their own times and before
audiences OF their own choosing, they
are generally non est. They have tried
it with General Gof, and stephen b.
Elkins. without success, and here,

Again the Governor said: Now l

from the census of 1850; and | want TO
say. before do it, that If there be a Re-
publican newspaper reporter in the
house. let him take them down and eX-
plain them. II he can do that, he will
do his partya greater service than could
forty million men. In lsS0 there were
253.S52 manufacturing establishments
i'm this country. They had a capital
stock Of -, 700, 223,5 SOC. The value of
their products was 1869, COZ, 700. Now
the wages paid in these establishments
all the wages paid In the manufacture
ing concerns OF the cOuntry-waS S947,-
glQ,674, which was less than Is per
cent OF the total value of the product.
And vet these people, having tariff
tax of 40 per cent. could pay but Is per
cent Of tie total value of their products
for labor, and ON top Of this they said
that even the a. per cent tariff of 1883
was not enough, and they have put IL
up 90 50 = per cent"
Again, taking the census figures for
1850, the Governor showed by solid

cent, as against Is per cent rs the total
earnings of the wage earuerS, and yet
the 40 per cent tariff of 1880 went TO -
per cent in 1883, and to 62i per cent
i'm 1890. In support Of this, the Gov
ernor read long list Of manufactures,
i'm which the profit ran from - TO 80

Who NOSC.

The mouth is not more distinctly the
gateway to the ulimcntary systgm than the
nose is to the respiratory, nor is it more
carefully designed for preparing food to
enter the stomach than is the nose for pre-.
pairing air to enter the lungs.
1t is important for all persons to be in
structed that the nose has three highly
necessary functions related TO breathing,
and for which it is deicately adapted, be,
sides those of an opening for air and n de
tective of bad air, viz: to warm, to moisten,
and to filter the air which it admits, and
that neither of these functions can be per-
formed by the mouth However warm or

is brought almost, if not quite, to the tenn

An Historic Tree.

The form most commonly taken by the

beneath it and there debated with them
the revolt of the Welsh. To make themyth

the same purpose. The Major Oak, be

history. King John, it is said, rested un-
der it, Robin Hood slept beneath its shell.

The potato is one of the most important
of cultivated plants, and in universal cul
tivation in temperate parts Of the globe
1t is II native of mountain districts of tropi-
cal and sab-tropical America, probably
from Chill to Mexico, but there is some
question as to where it is really indigo
nous. Humboldt doubted if it had ever
been found truly wild, but subsequent
travellers of high scientific reputation ex-
press themselves thoroughly satisfied.
Maize and potatoes are the two greatest
gifts which America has given to the rest
Of the world.
The potato has been cultivated in Amer
ica and its tuber5 used for food for time
long anterior to the discovery of America
by Europeans. 1t seems to have been
brought first to Europe by the Spaniards
from the neighborhood of Quito in the
Sixth century. No more important
event of this kind has ever taken place
than the introduction of potato culture
into Great Britain and other European
countries. 1t was long called 'batatas"
or sweet potato, which is tibet uber or plant
meant by English writer's down to the mid
die of the Seventeenth century. 1t appears

Although it is well known that dyna
mite freezes at a comparatively high tenn
perature, and that the process of thawing
cartridges charged with it is risky opera
ton unless it is carried out by means of
warming pans which have been devised
for the purpose, accidents of fatal nature
are constantly occurring through neglect
of the simplest precautions. One which
took place at Colwill quarry, Devonshire,
forms the subject of report by Maj. Gun
dill, inspector of explosives, of London
By this accident two men lost their lives
and it must be said that the poor fellows
in their ignorance seem to have done their
best to bring about this lamentabe result
To thaw their cartridges they placed
them on loose sacking above can of water
which was placed on the fire, and the pre-
sumption is that the nitro glycerine ex
uded from the dynamite and dropped
through he sacking into the water beneath
From its greater specific gravity it would
of course sink to the bottom of the vessel
and thus be Immediately above and almost
in contact with the Goals. The result
must have been obvious to every one but
those concerned. The men thawed their
dynamite in this reckless way by direction
of their master-who explained that he
had always done it in this manner--and
who also confessed that he had never
troubled to read the printed rules supplied
with the explosive. The great report also
shows that the agent who supplied the
dynamite seemed to be as sublimcly ignor-
ant Of its qualities as those who used it,

Fame After Death.

It Is pathetic to read Of the posthumous
fame of Adam Lindsay Gordon, the Aus.
tralian poet. Twenty years have passed
since, reduced to dire pecuniary straits, he
shot himself on Brighton Beach, near Mel,
bourne Now we are informed on the au-
thority of the circulating libraries, that his
poetical works are Extremely popular" in
the wealthy city where he starved when
alive. The Australian publishers have
made fortune out of the fresh and vigor
GUS poems that brought their author little,
If any, recompense.
Here is an instance of the contemptuous
indifference with which Gordon's remark
able gift of open air song was treated dur
ing his lifetime One of the leading Aus
tralinn dailies thus noticed his Bush Bal
lads" on their first publication: 1--WE have
received volume of poems entitled Bush
Ballads by A. L. Gordon. The book is
highly creditable to the printer, the paper
maker and the binder" The same journal
published within the last few years, with
out blush or an apology of any sort, two
columns of a glowing eulogy of the Lon
don edition of Gordon's poems. 1t is the
old story Of the stoning of the prophets, Of
Keats and The Quarterly, of the marble
honors that are reserved for mans ashes
and the tribute that comes just lifetime
too late.
Can honor's voice provoke the silent dust,
Or fattery soothe the duh cold ear of death?

The Giddy Ghfo'C:lrl.

cannot resist telling you, apropos of
Urbana people, a story that for years has
gone the rounds in Washington of an Ohio
girl who is not native of Urbana, al
though she has frequently visited there.
She spent one winter in Washington dur.
ing the Hayes administration. She was
bright, clever and fascinating, and she ap,
peared night after night in a succession Of
toilets so decollete as greatly to shock
the prim dowagers and prudent mammas
of society. During her stay at the capital
a few sporadic cases of smallpox made
their appearance. The pretty Ohio girl
was frightened. Meeting the late Dr. Gar
nett at an evening reception, where the
scantiness of her attire was unusually no
ticeable, she said with the fantest APP
proach 10 a giggle:
"Oh, doctor, am coming to your Office
to be vaccinated tomorrow" looking down
at her shapely arm, ''you must put it Some
place where it will not be seen"
The stately old gentleman, without n
change of muscle gravely replied, II am
afraid, my dear, you win have to swallow
it."-Jules Guthridge in Urbana Citizen

up to the teller and said sharply:

me $50 too much and have got you just

for your meanness and agree to be pleasant
