"Disease is mean fellow" says DR..
Shrady. 'It always strikes man when
he's down. Two men come into a car
together-one overworked, depressed,
worried and exhausted; the other in
terested in his work, which employs
every faculty to the uttermost, COM
Portable and happy, with the conviction
that his wife is the dearest woman in
the world his children as bright as any
ones children, and that he isn't very
bad sort of fellow himself. A draught
blows through the car, as usual, strik-
ing both men. They both take cold;
one has the pneumonia and, dies, and
the other a cold in his head, which he
sneezes away in two days. 1t is easy to
draw the inference, and with it to de-
duce the formula that comfort, cheerful
ness and hopefulness are the best pro-
moters of existence"

EARTHQUAKE Disturbances.

A report issued by the fJapanese
home department states that during the
month of April last there were eighty
earthquake disturbances, felt on twen-
ty-eight days, the day on which the
largest number was felt being the nth,
when there were seventeen oscillations.
The earthquake the effects of which
were most extensively felt was that
which occurred on the 10th of April, ex-
tending over twenty provinces. Fortu-
nately none of the shocks were of very
serious character, the worst effects re-
ported being the appearance of cracks
in the ground, the displacemento of doors
and screens, the throwing down of small
articles on shelves, and the stoppage OF
clock pendulums

Believes IN Promptness.

AS chairman of the Republican caucus
in the Senate, the distinguished states
man from Vermont, Senator Edmunds,
is an autocrat and pedagogue COM
bined. He not only manages the work
of the dominant party in the Senate,
but he is schoolmaster unto the gentle
men who perform the clerical work in
the Office of the Secretary. A newspa-
per man asked Colonel Williams, the
clerk who has charge of all COM
mittee reports, why he had sent the re-
ports to the Public Printer so early in
the day, before the news-hunters had
seen them, and he replied: 81 have had
orders to get my work off to the Gov
ernment printing Office as early as pos
sible; and l always obey orders" 1t
was learned from another source that
the Public Printer had complained to
Senator Edmunds that the manuscript
from the Senate was ratherlate in reach
ing him every day; whereupon, Senator
Edmunds went to Secretary McCook and
gave him short and easy lecture on
promptitude. The substance of the
lecture was delivered to the clerks by
McCook, and passed off upon them as an
original essay. They do not know until
this day that the real autocrat of the
occasion was not McCook but the ven
erable and dignified, innocent-looking,

go downstairs for it. There's the
breakfast bell now. Baby will be good,
I'm sure. I'll set her on the bed and
you can play with her."
But baby had some conscientious
scruples or something about going to
bed just after dressing, and she filed
several emphatic protests which the dis
appearance of her mamma did not tend
to render less energetic.
This time John Henry's efforts to
assuage the grief of his child were
utterly unavailing. He endeavored to
explain to her that the features of Edna,
the chubby rubber doll, were worthy
of more than casual glance, but baby
would not listen. Equally unavailing
were his efforts to point out the wonder
full beauties of ''choo choo" locomo-
tive.
But finally Mrs. John Henry came to
her lords assistance and carried off the
baby, while he sat up in bed propped
with pillows, ate his buttered toast
and his boiled eggs, drank his coffee,
and thought that the prominent ply.
sician's idea was not such bad one
after all.
His breakfast eaten, John Henry
Peddicord lay and dozed and lazily
dreamed for perhaps half an hour,
when his wife invaded the bedroom
again.
| She had an idea.
"John Henry" she said, "Tve no end
of shopping to do, and I just believe I'll
go to-day while you are at home. Nc
one can take care of the baby as we'll as
you. feel so much safer when you are
home with baby, dear, and you won't
mind, will you, love?"
John Henry groaned inwardly.
Oh, no, he wouldn't mind it at ALL
And he didn't, for whole half houl
after Mrs. Peddicord disappeared. The
baby had been fed, and for the space o1
thirty minutes thereafter was model
of angelic sweetness. Then came 8
change, however, and the infant be-
came more eXacting.
John Henry performed various gym
nastic evolutions on the bed for his
audience of one infant, which were duly
applauded until the spectator desired q
change of programme, and made her de-
sire known very promptly.
Presently Mr.. Peddicord arrived a
the conclusion that a day in bed every
month may be an excellent thing, bu
it should be taken undiluted with ba
bies.
After Mrs. Peddicord had been gone
an hour, John Henry thought this thing
of staying at home to rest was delusior
and snare, and he tried to concoct {
good reason for foregoing his resolution
of following the prominent physicians
advice.
"To be sure" he thought "there'!

unloaded on the bed varied assort-
ment of toys. There were dolls, tin
wagons, locomotives, building blocks,
and the like.
By the aid of these adjuncts to in
fantile pacification and the expendi-
ture of more vital force than an entire
days work at the Office would consume,
John Henry kept the baby in state Of
comparative quiet for ten minutes; and
the word comparative" is used ad-
visedly.
BY this time Mrs. John Henry Peddi-
cord was dressed.
''I'll take the baby now and dress
her." she said. ''Pm sure she hasn't
bothered you much, love. SEES dust as
dood as dold, sc, is mommer's little tod

The second half of Mrs. John Henry's
remarks were addressed to the baby, not
to John Henry.
"Mommer'' took the baby, and John
Henry snuggled into his pillow for an.
other snooze. He had scarcely got to
sleep when he was awakened by the
wife of his bosom:

MIGRATING FLOCKS.
Usually They Are Composed of an Amaz-
ing Multitude of Birds.

ing Multitude OF B1rdS.
The following two estimates of the
numbers of birds contained in inigrat-
ing flocks are suggestive of the i'm
mense numbers that are in existence:
Captain Flinders, in his voyage to
Australasia, saw a compact stream of
stormy petrels which was from so to
80 yards deep and 800 yards or more
broad. This stream for a full hour
and half continued to pass with
out interruption with nearly the
swiftness of the pigeon. Now, taking
a column at so yards deep by 800 in
breadth, and that it moved 80 miles
an hour, and allowing 9 cubic inches
of space to each bird, the number
would amount to 100000. The
migratory pigeon of the United States
flies in still more amazing multitudes
Wilson, in his American Ornithology,"
says: 'Of one of these immense focks,
let us attempt to calculate the num-
bers. as seen in passing between Frank
fort on the Kentucky and the Indian
Territory. If we suppose this column
to have been one mile in breadth and
believe it to have been much more, and
that it moved four hours at the rate Of
one mile a minute, the time it took in
passing would make the whole length
24O miles. Again, supposing that eacf
square yard of this moving body. com

people would go to bed and stay there
a whole day in every month, and keep
quiet, they would live to good old age" :"
"Well, 1 think l would" said Mrs.
John Henry Peddicord, encouragingly.
"You have been complaining of a Sc
we're headache for several days, and I
have become quite anxious about you" ="
So John Henry turned over on his pill
low and settled himself for his unwonted
luxury.
He had just got to sleep again when
the baby woke up. The baby had not
read the learned article by the promi-
nent physician, and it would have had
no effect on her if she had. She was op-
posed to sleep on general principles, and
at any time, day or night, and only sue
cumbed at the latter time from dire
necessity, when she could no longer
prop her eyes open. But stay in bed all
day? Never!
Baby's waking was the signal for her
mamma to rise.
"John Henry, love-" said Mrs. Peddi-
cord, las you are not going to get up,
think I'll let you amuse baby while |
dress. The girl is busy this morning,
it's ironing morning, you know It'll

"Yis, sorr," replied Norah, as she as

DIR. FISH /:

DIR. FISH:
DEAR SIR:-There' is one point
which demands denouncing in good
set terms, and that is Congressman
Dorsey's new bond bill reported in
the house, week before last, which
provides for the issuance Of $780,
100000 of two per cent bonds to
run for so years.
This bill has excited more adverse
comment than the Window scheme,
which, as reported, should be entitled:
"A bill to place the product of Ameri-
can silver mines in the hands of the
president and secretary of the treas
ury for speculative purposes"
And Dorsey's bill should be entitled
"A bill to give Plutocracy during the
next fifty years $500, 900, 900 to dis
tribute like amount of bills of
credit among the American people
emitted by the government at the re-
quest of said Plutocrats, free 81
charge, and for which the govern
ment is responsible to the last dol
lar"
The above titles emh- zee the facts.
Both measures are equally detestible,
and both should receive the severest
condemnation.
Yet there is a pressing demand for
legislation and both these questions,
which requires ofthe people a decided
and immediate expression of their
wants, or the plutocrats will get their
work for another generation.
The Kansas Alliance has spoken in
no uncertain tone, and Minnesota
should do the same WINDOWS plan
will do if power to suspend purchase
of silver is taken away, and the pro-
vision to sell bullion at whatever
market price New York brokers may
fix is stricken out.
Dorsey's bill should not pass in
any shape. We never want to see
another bond issued by the govern
ment; it is great mistake that any
were ever issued
If National Bank notes must still
continue to be feature of our com
plicated currency, let the banks be
required to substitute silver bullion
at standard dollar rates for their
notes. John j. Knox, late comp
troller of the currency, says, "Values
have deprecated SO low, as to en-
danger all INDUSTRIES" and hence

Farmers are informed by the fol

Farmers are informed by the fol-
lowing clipping just how they can
buy some new clothes-cheap!
''Look how these prices affect the
farmer: 1t now takes a load of po-
tatoes to buy a pair of boots; a big
steer buys a plain suit of clothes for
everyday wear; it takes good COW
to buy plain overcoat; load OF
corn supplies cap and mittens; a
load of oats will furnish a CORE
spending suit of underclothing. So
that, when the farmer returns home
from the country store, he carries on
his person the value of big steer, a
good COW, and thirty bushels or
more of corn, of oats, and OF pOta-
toes.
Nevertheless, the farmers were

corrupt elections, and break upRran-
ges and alliances. They may even be
able, after years of such servile tasks,
to pack caucuses, and be sent to the
Legislature; where they go around
with the sign on their face, ssFor
Sale," and to the best OF their poor,
barren shallowness they sneer athon-
or and honesty, and betray the un-
fortunate fools who voted for them.
You will find a score or more of these
damnable abortions in every agri-
cultural community. They are the
petty janissaries Of the great Rings
doing dirty and destructive work
for which they receive infinitely small
rewards.
But God has not left His world
without noble souls They are every
where. Too often poor and suppress
ed and timid but they love human
ity, and worship justice for it's own
sake. Let these men come to the
front. Let them make the Alliance
mechanism for good. If the farm
ers of the country can only be united,
and the work of organization is
progressing at a rate never known
before in the history of the world, :
united agriculture can crush the life
out of every ring and combination
in the land; and make the work OF
the producers once more profitable
and respectable.
