Some people agree with THE SUNS opin-

don't; but everybody likes TO get hold Of the

afraid to speak its mind.
Democrats know that for twenty years THE
Sun has fought in the front line for Demo-
cratic principles, never wavering or weaken
ing in its loyalty TO the true interests OF the
party II serves with fearless intelligence and
disinterested vigor. At times opinions have
differed as TO the best means OF accomplish
ing the conn on purpose; 1t is not THE SUNS
fault If il has seen further into the mill
stone.
Eighteen hundred and ninety is the year
that will probably determine the result OF
the Presidential election of 1892 and perhaps
the fortunes of the Democracy for the rest of
the century. Victory in 1892 is a duty, and

Giving Canes Shane.

The cultivation of walking sticks for
the market has been taken up as q bust
ness at some places in continental Europe,
andspecial attention is often paid to max
ing the roots grow into shapely forms for
the handles. A London manufacturing
establishment, the floor space of which
covers nearly an acre, has extensive
storehouses filled with native and foreign
sticks, from which stock is drawn as it
is wanted from the shops.
The sticks as they grow are often very
crooked and have to be Strengthened. A
heap Of sand is provided on the top of a
hot stove, into which the sticks are
plunged until they become pliable.
The workman takes tho crooked stick
while it is still hot and inserts it in a
notch cut in a stout board, placed at an
angle inclined from him, where he bends
and strains it. When it has become per-
fectly straight it is thrown down to
cool, after which it becomes rigid and
permanent in its lines. Heat is an i'm
portant element in this matter and pro-
duces different effects on the several
kinds of wood, the degree of heat neces-
sary to straighten one kind of stick being
often sufficient to spoil another kind.
The same power which makes a
crooked stick straight is applied to make
a straight one crooked; so we find that
the rigid stems of bamboos, partridge
canes, and all the various kinds of sticks
that are required to Ia curled or twisted,
are by the application of heat made to
assume almost any shape OF FORM

Got the Names Mixed.

There must be something in a name,
after all. The grand jury reported a
number of ''true bills" against certain
law breakers, and also reported that
they could not find sufficient evidence
on which to hold a number of alleged
law breakers. Among the former was a
colored gent named jackson, against
whom an indictment was found for carv-
ing a colored brother with a razor, and
among the latter was a white nan of
the same name.
When the sheriff was ordered to pro-
duce his prisoners in court yesterday lie
wasshanded a list of the names of the
men wanted. The first batch brought
over were those against whom emo bill"
was reported. When the names were
called at the Jail the white Jackson did
not answer to his name, but in his place
the colored party stepped up. He of the
white face thought it policy to clay
low" so he said nothing.
When the names were called in court
and the prisoners were ordered to stand
up the colored man answered promptly
to the white mans name, and he was
duly discharged by Judge Seaver. MI.
Jackson returned to the Jail for some
thing, and the jailer, happening to know
that jackson had been indicted, thought
there was some mistake and locked him
up. He wasrearraigned later and pleaded
guilty. The white Jackson was finally
released.-Buffalo Commercial.

A Thief Detcctor.

"When wo started l noticed" said ono
of u party Of jewellers who had camped
in the wilds of Canada, chat one of our
number was incumbered with a large
box. Tho second day in camp two
watches disappeared, and each member
of the party began to look upon the
others with silent suspicion. Finally, as
the thefts wcre repeated, q meeting was
called, and every man pleadednot guilty.
No ono up to that time suspected the
honest French Canadian lad we had en-
gagged as u servant. He vas questioned
and also entered q prompt and emphatic
denial. We all believed his protestations
of innocence except the mar with the
box.
Gentlemen said he, somebody in
the party took those watches, and I pro-
pose to find out who. Ihave here n thief
detector,' pulling out an electric battery
and winking ut tho crowd. IF there is
a thief among us this will point him
out Every mar took his turn Mt the
battery. The boy watched tho perform
ancc in wonder. Flo had never seen
such Il queer arrangement before, but as
everybody who touched tho coils escaped
without harm he stepped bravely to the
front when it came to his turn and took
hold. A sudden change came over him.
The owner of tho battery had turned on
its full force, and the victim gave yell
Of pain and horror, and felt tho ground

The Armenian Houses,

The Armenian houses of Armenia
proper arc by 10 means comfortable.
The poorer classes have homes that
would hardly DO considered fit for COWS
in America, and in fact tho COW lives
with the family. Tho floors are below
the level of tho roadway, and there arc
little windows about the size of port
holes. Most Of the houses arc of one
story, and it is not to build a
house against the side Of a hill, SO that
there will be no back wall. Stepping
down into the house you find the COW
stable on one side and on the other the
kitchen and the private apartments Of
the family.
Each room has q stone fireplace, and
all the cooking is done with COW dung
mixed with straw. There are no tables
and few chairs, and it is ~ curious thing
that a large part of the heat of the room
comes from the animal heat produced
by the cattle in the stable which adjoins
the kitchen. The houses of the wealthy
and middle class of Armenians arc more
comfortable, and in tho big Turkish cit
les you will find Armenians occupying
palaces. In the country, however, they
have few of tho comforts of Christen-
dom, and the chief furniture consists of
a divan running around three sides Of
the room covered with Persian rugs
and resting on a carpet of gray felt

Women ON Another Star.

In Camille Flammarion's last romance
of the stars some quaint and interesting
fancies are given regarding the planet
Mars. The poet-astronomer inagines
that i'll our next starry neighbor the
density is SO slight that material sub
stances arc very light, and that thus
tho living beings corresponding to our
selves arc vastly more ethereal, delicate
and sensitive than the inhabitants Of
earth. Dwelling farther from tho sun
than we, their optic nerve is moro pow
erful, and that fact. together with SUI
perior magnetic and electric influences,
creates senses unknown to us and un
imaginable by us. Everything is 80
much less ponderable, SO much more I'M
substantial than with US, he goes on to
fancy, that the people there might be
called thinking and living winged flow
ers, for in the %tc1uous atmosphere wings
had the first chance ut development,
rather than a more terrestrial method of
getting about, evolution having taken
place in u series of winged species, aud
the people living as much on the air and
III aerial plants as Oh the ground.
Here also the density of the body ana
its weight being SO slight, all organisms
are very light and delicate, no other
food being taken than that drawn from
the atmosphere; thus tho female Sex is
the predoininating one, living Oh the
airs OF spring and the perfume of flowers,
the absence Of gross food preventing
gross ideas and clarifying the intellect
to an immense power, while an unspeak-
able charm is exercised by these women
in the futtcring Of their wings and in
the kiss of a mouth that never has eaten.

of Dogs.

In writing of the native dogs of Cen
trail America Frederick Boyle brings for
ward a theory as to how dogs form the
habit Of barking. He was dlcussing
with an old resident of the country some
traits of the "cosote," as the native wolf
is called, but which more nearly resem-
blcs tho dog.
Dogs will never so wild so long as
they can find a master to serve, and
more especially trained dogs. The coyote
never barks, and only gallops when pur-
sued. In regard to the first of these
points, says Mr.. Byam, Il remark made
by all old Indian struck nc.
why won't these coyotes bark like
other dogs::' l asked him, pointing to II
| was trying to reclaim, land why do
they only howl and the pups grunt%
His answer was, 'Ilc won't learn"
"Not learn" said l. what do you
mcan?"
NO." he replied, mot learn, for if he
were of an honest breed he would bark,
to try and initiate his master, or at all
events the other dogs, but all barking
proceeds from dogs initiating their mas
tiers shout. Tho master shouts to brighten
away cattle from his maize field-the
dog barks directly; the master shouts to
drive in cattle to the corral, and tho dog
barks also. In fact, tho dog initiates his
master when he barks; he tries tospeak.
but cannot"
Igivc this curious observation as the
only attempt l ever heard to account for
the barking Of our tame dogs. No wild
breeds make any noise except bowling
and snarling, nor under the best cir
cumstances will they learn to bark until
the third or fourth generation, q length
of trial which MI. Byam does not ap-
pear to have given the coyote.

Costly nruYh

Among costly drugswe might mention
the following and the different sized
bottles and phials in which they arc sold:
Agaricin, a. ounces, costs $$43.75; colo
cynthin, ST ounces, STA rs; coniine
hydrochlorate, 44 ounces, $9s.45; cycla-
min, 81 ounces, $54.o5; digitoxin, II
ounces, 1914 gentisin, II ounces, Soils;
helitropin, 6 ounces, $61.25; dydrastine
hydrochlorate. 81 ounces, $194.80 papay-
otin, used as a solvent for the diphther-
itic membrane, IS ounce bottles, per bot
tie, $189.50. Besides the above there
are various preparations made from the
Calabar bean the cost of which is amaz-
ing. They are chiefly used in diseases
Of the eye.
One is called physostigmine alkaloid,
and costs $137. so per ounce phial. Ply
sostigmine crystals are still more expen-
sive, being sold in 81 ounce bottles at a
cost of $5o3.15. Still another prepare
ton of the Calabar is physostigmine
~salicylate crystals, an a~ristocratic drug
that surely furnishes a fitting cap sheaf
