Mr.. Waddill began by opening up on

to meet the case, and advised his hearers
10 follow the District Committee.

when Mr.. w. f. G. Garnott, Richmond
lawyer, arose and asked permission to al

But SOuthward's men did not propose
10 have their idol disturbed during services.
and would not let the query be put. Ihis
excited the anger of Councilman layns, OF

nett should be heard. Sheriff Southward
told Layne 70 be quiet, but he did not
scare bit. The sheriff threatened 10
eject the city father, who in return dened
him. Mr. Southward then caughg hold OF
Layne, who shook himself free. Finally
the Jacksop-Ward statesman was put out.
But in minute or two he was back again,

A frown will mar the prettiest face. 1t
doesn't matter about a boy, but the small
girl does violence to beauty and youth
by rufiing her forehead or fluting her
brow. 1t is, too, a habit acquired very
early in life. After her pouting days are
over she begins to frown, and keeps on
frowning until old enough to realize the
banefulness of the habit. In other words,
each ridge is supposed to add a decade to
her apparent age. Now somebody has
made the discovery of n couple of mus
Giles between the bridge of the nose and
the root of the hair which can be cut
without pain or injury to the feelings or
face. The services of n skilled surgeon
are secured, who applies the knife, sew
ers the delicate cords, dresses the wound,
and after the skin heals the forehead be-
comes as smooth as the temple, and,
what is most remarkable, remains so.

THE. people of Wyoming will readily
agree with the Denver Republican when
says: ut is hoped that the bills for the
admission of Wyoming and Idaho will
pass the senate this week. That would ena-
BILE the president to sign them within a few
days and thus settle the question of
whether the proposed states will be organ
lied or not this spring. If they do not
pass this week, their passage may be de
layed a long time, and it is barely posi-
bic that they will be defeated altogether.
If congress is going to let Wyoming and
Idaho in at this session, it ought to hurry
up about it. No good is to be accom-
plisbed BY waiting. The question ought
to be settled so that the people may ad-
just their political interests to the new
order Of things and be done with It,"

At the hard fought battle of Aughrim
an Irish officer was accompanied by his
wolf hound. This gentleman was killed
and his body stripped on the battlefield,
but the dog remained by it both by day
and night. He fed upon some of the
other bodies with the rest of the dogs,
yet he would not allow them, or any one
else, TO come near That Of his master.
When all the other bodies were con
sumed the other dogs departed, but this
faithful creature used to 20 in the night
to the adjacent villages for food, and in
the morning to return TO the place where
his masters bonea only were then left.
This he continued TO do from July. when
the battle was fought, through the cold
and dreary winter until the January fol
lowing, when a soldier, whose regiment
was quartered near that spot, going that
way by chance, the dog, fearing he came
to disturb his beloved masters bones,
flew with great tierceness upon the sol
der, who, being thrown off his guard by
the audiences of the attack, unslung
his carbine, he having been thrown on
his back, and killed the noble animal

The quantity OF rain falling at any
place is estimated by mean of a very
simple piece Of apparatus known as a
rain gauge. The most common form of
rain gauge consists Of n copper funnel,
the area of the mouth of which is accu-
ratcly known. The rain collected in this
funnel flows into n graduated measure,
which eau very easily be constructed by
any one out Of a small glass tumbler or
heaker by FASTING on its side a narrow
strip Of paper, carefully marked off into
inches, half inches, quarters, eighths and
siNtccnths; or into inches, tenths and
twentieths. Surprising that the area of
tho mouth Of the receiving funnel is five
times that OF the graduated measure,
then a depth OF. live inches in the meas
ure would represent n depth Of one inch
om an area equal to that Of the aperture
Of the funneL-New York Telegram.

QUITE SIGNIFICANT.

The National Democrat draws more
logical il o precisely the same couclu-
sions from Assistant Postmaster General
ClarksUn's statement that the vast major
ity of the American people are now read
ing Democratic papers. 1t says:
Just look a. what Mr.. Clarkson, one of
the two men who managed the Republi-
can campaign of two years ago, and the
political head of the department contain
ing the greatest amount of patronage,
admits He admits not only that the
campaign Of 1855 was educational in
character, but hat the people then
learned what the Democrats were teach
ing them. Two-6fths of the Republicans
of New York city are reading Democratic
papers. All the papers of large circula-
ton in Boston are Democratic. In one
county 10 Illinois, near Chicago, and all
the counties in the northern end of Hi
nois are Republican, he found by actual
canvass that $50 Republican families
we're taking Democrats papers, and only
ninety-fve Democratic families were tax
ing Republican papers, Mr.. Clarkson
may well say. These are significant
facts"
The Democratic party is not a cprpor-
ate entity. 1t has no general manager or
board of directors who, with admirable
foresight have prepared the way for 1892
by securing the control of newspapers aud
magazines. The Democratic party is simply
the %unorganized mass of the people who
believe in Its policy. Newspapers and
magazines are published not by a political
organization. but by individuals, and they
have to get their support from individuals.
II the demand for Democratic papers and
magazines is growing much faster than
the demand for Republican newspapers
and magazines it simply means that the
Democratic party is growing faster than
the Republican party.
When the political influence Of the
press is spoken Of there is one c1nsidera-
ton loo often forgotten. Men like the
people and the papers that agree with
them, and the Republicans generally 60 to
hear Republican campaign speakers, and
Democrats subscribe for Democratic news
papers. The National Democrat would
be glad to preach pure political gospel to
the unregenerate Republicans. but it
knows that most of ITS readers are from
49, The atnaVv anA nan. fY,aN l.p,,-
Gratis who need no repentance. SO the
New York Tribune would be glad to ad.
dress Democrat, and we suppose it thinks
it could peivert them to its own bad ideas.
but not many Democrats would subscribe
for the Tribune. Tho $50 familie,
that have been Republican, in 1
county near Chicago, are not going to be
come Democratic by reading Democratic
papers; they must have become Demo.
Gratis, or at least be on the anxious seat il
the great political revival. or else they
would not BE- taking Democratic papers.
You do o find in6dels subscribing for
religious papers: you DO not find Catho-
lies buying the Observer, or Presbyterians
subscribing for the Tablet If all the
Boston papers of large circulation, if all
the daily papers of tbc country with cir
c~ulation Of over 100, 900 are Democratic,
the facts show what the political tastes ola
majority of the people are. As Mr..
Clarkson says: These are significant
facts"

A wonderfsf Process and a More Wonder
full Product OF Great Value.
Stag wool is formed by causing a jet
Of steam 20 impinge Upon the stream Of
molten Stag as it issues from The furnace.
This has the effect of dispensing or break
ing up the Stag into countless small bead
like particles, each of which, as it flies
away, carries behind it a delicate thread
of finely drawn or spun" Stag. In or
der to collect the Stag flaments thus ere
ated and to separate the fbers from the
beads or heavier portion of Stag, the
steam Jet is arranged at the mouth Of an
open cylinder of sheet iron, in which n
strong air current is induced by means
Of additional jets of steam. The tube or
shaft is furnished with n shield or strik-
ing plate, which detains the heavier par
ticle. the lighter Stag wool being carried
by the draught upwards and UPWARDS
into a large chamber like a gigantic meat
safe, having its walls formed of wire net
ting with about sixteen meshes to the
square inch. Here the steam condenses
and escapes, and the Stag wool, which
has the appearance of flakes Of snow, is
deposited on the floor and round the
sides, the lightest portions being carried
to the greater distances.
The filaments Of Stag formed this way.
though OF considerable length, are Of
such delicacy and fineness that they are
broken up into numberless fragments
and felted together into a substance much
resembling cotton wool. This mineral
wool is extremely light and absolutely
fire proof; it is a marvellous n~on-conduc-
tor of heat and of sound, and it is 50
porous that it will absorb large quaint
ties of water and retain the same for a
considerable time.
1t has been found extremely valuable
as a covering for boilers, water pipes and
such like-owing to its relatively low
conducting power-and for fire curtains
for theatres, its lightness and resistance
Of fire and sound rendering it an excel
lent substance for such a purpose. 1t is,
moreover, an antiseptic, and this prop
erty, along with its extreme porosity,
renders it applicable for medical pur-
poses.-Newcastle Chronicle.

Close by In the stiffness OF the night,
could scarcely startle the ordinary individ.
ual more than do trifing noises the ner-
vous invalid. But once the nerves are
braced and the system invigorated with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the abnor
NAL sensitiveness is succeeded by a tran.
guilty not to be disturbed by trivial caus-
es. Impaired digestion is a fertile cause
of nerve weakness and unnatural mental
gloom, and a vigorous renewal of the ac-
ton of the stomach is one of the surest
means of invigorating and d%uieting the
nerves. Insomnia, or sleeplessness, a
form of nervous disease, is unquestiona-
bly, benefited by sedatives, when il is pro-
longed. or of frequent occurrence, but its
permanent removal is more effectually
achieved with the bitters. This medicine
is also ~signally eficacious for malaria,
rheumatism, constipation, liver complaint
and torpidity OF the kidneys aud blad-
der.

The fluctuations of the Sun to the
BoomrdHo were. after all, a little prema-

paper is received into the Republican
Told with every evidence OF JOY and the news
is scattered broadcast that the long lost
sheep is returned to the told, there comes
an announcement that the paper has been
sold and it will hereafter be conducted as
n Democratic paper. Perhaps this is one
OF the surprises of the campaign which
the Sun alleged it had in store for the
Democratic party.

Borax water is excellent for sponging
either silk or wool goods that are not
soiled enough to need washing. In wash
ing cashmere or wool goods put a little
borax in the water. This will cleanse
them much more easily and better, with

them on II board, but use the hands, and
throw on a line without wringing. Press
them on the wrong side and they will
