HOW A CAT FLIRTs.
A Series Of Interesting Actions by
These Household Pets.

We see cat come steathily rubbing
up against chair leg, the head in
clined coquettishly over one shoulder,
regarding us with a furtively coaxing
emile. With fiirt like that, whether
maid or matron, there is no occasion
for ceremony, says the Saturday Re
riew.
You snatch her up, and on yeur
knee she pretends to be offended and
to struggle to escape. But she curls
herself up with a sensuous purr when
you begin tickling the fur that lies
just behind the ear, and thenceforth it
is all plain sailing.
1t is very different with corpulent
and study Tom, who, though he may
have iuxuriated in comfortable quar-
ters all his life, has, nevertheless, had
his sad experiences, and seen some
thing of the worst side of human ma
ture.
Mischievous boys have heaved half
bricks at him, ill-bred and unsympa-
thetic servants have resented his pa
trician manners, expelling him with
ignominy from the lower regions, and
sometimes punching his head.
Even his master, who is the reverse
OF q pusso-maniac, may never have ap-
preciated him according to its merits.
No wonder that a cat of that stamp
should be misanthropic and suspi-
cious.
Naturally he mistrusts strangers
advances. but, nevertheless, there is
something in your voice which sends
q quiver through his ears and makes
him visibly relax the rigidity of his
tail.

= Reed and His Late Rivals,

Some time ago we warned the Presi-
dent, the Secretary OF State, the chair
man of the National Republican Com
mittee and all other Republican Presi-
dental aspirants, that if Mr.. Reed got
what could be called O. vindication in
the late election, he would have first
mortgage on the Presidential nomina-
ton of 1892, and they had better deal
with the giant while he was still in
their power. To do their political sa-
gacity justice, they recognized the
emergency and made some effort to
meet it, but their measures were half
hearted and proved futile. The ad-
ministration denied Mr.. Reed the use
OF the navy yard at Kittery, the chair
man of the National Republican Com
mittee knocked Mr.. Reeds pet force
bill in the head, and as Mr.. Reed was
going in strong for more protection,
the Secretary of State went into an adj
joining district and preached the new
gospel of less protection.
Mr.. Reed won a handsome victory
over all his enemies. The Maine cleo
tion was not really a contest between
the Republicans and the Democrats,
for the Democratic party in that State
is in hopeless minority; it was con-
test between the favorite Republican
candidate for the Presidential nomina-
ton and the field, and the favorite
beat the field and won in canter,
The only significance of the Maine
election is that it abolishes the Presi-
dent and all the lesser aspirants, and
it strikes out Blaine and inserts Reed
! as the other name of the Man from
Maine.
This result is becoming apparent in
many ways. Republican papers all
over the country are accepting Reed
as the great man of the party, and as
the strongest Presidential candidate.
Reeds grip on Congress has been
strengthened; Reed literary bureau
has been put in operation, and Harri.

speak of Sherman, Allison and Cullom

How Girls Can be Pretty.
Ladies' Home Journal.

GOu come back to town richer in
flesh, more determined to success, but
just wondering little bit at the way
the kisses OF the sun and the brown
ing that flashed from the waves have
affected your skin. There is no use
in telling you that freckles and sun
burn are becoming; you do not con-
tradict your brothers when they tell
you this, but in your heart you do not
believe they quite know.
The trouble having been stated, the
remedy must be found. First, your
blood must be gotten into good con-
ditinn, -hy using to--2 Tor -it--vThis
may be Z little eau-de-cologne or some
alcohol in the water in which you
bathe your face, neck and arms; it
will have an almost instantaneous ef-
feet, and you will be conscious of q
glowing, exhilarated condition.
Then at night use some fine Co.'S
metic. There are many perfectly
harmless ones that are more pleasant
than vaseline or olive oil, though both
OF these are equally good.
Drink milk twice Il day, and re-
member that it must be ordinary
milk, not cream. 1t is said to be
more whitening to the skin than any
thing applied on the outside, and
surely it is at once pleasant and
healthy
Elder-flower water, lemon-juice and
rose-water are all simple remedies for
frcckles, and will undoubtedly remove
them il they are regularly used and al
lowed to dry on the skin. A famous
beauty is said to keep her hands white
by always using the half of lemon
in washing her hands, exactly as she
would piece of soap; and, although
freckles come, sill nothing is so good
for the skin as sunshine; it makes
the undcrskin flush, and delicate
pink and white is the result. A little
care about broad-brimmed hat, and
a good-sized sun-umbrella will give
you all the good desired from sun
shine and keep away its defects.
Keep on the sunny-sidc OF the street
III the winter. You know that is the
place chosen by Englishmen, South
ern women and dogs. so the friends
will look at the good skins of all three,
and use the proverb to point moral
ami adorn q tail,

The Parable Of the Baptist,

DIR. Lyman Abbott, who has sue

in the doctrine that baptism means

"One of my parishioners," said the
Doctor, "came to me and told me that
he dreamed that a Baptist friend OF
his died and went to heaven"
"Well, what did he see there ?" I
asked.
"He saw st. Peter at the gate, and
beyond him, through a doorway sur
rounded with glaring lights, and smell
ling of birthstone, was the Devil"
"What do you want" asked ST..
Peter.
II want to come in" replied the inn

"Well, who are you ?"
"Pm Baptist minister"

little puzzled. "A Baptist, eh9 Well,

"Why, we baptize people"
"Baptize 'em, do you? What ins"
"Why, water"
"What, all overt"
"Yes, clear under"
But suppose its cold ?"
"Why, down they 60 right through
the ice."
The Devil happened to overhear the
word ice, and came forward, rubbing
his hands in great glee.
"What did you say about ice 2" he
asked, smiling.
"Why, we baptize people through
the ice."
"But, suppose it's forty below zero p
"Down they 60, all covered with

"Thatll do," interrupted the Devil,
"you just take my place; you've got
something worse than fire."

FOOLED THE FARMER.-Last year we
exported 100000 bushels of wheat
and imported 1900, probably seed
wheat for the use OF the farmers. The
whole duty collected on our wheat i'm
portations was 1886. That is the
sum of protection" that our farmers
receive from a tariff on wheat, while
they sell millions at the free trade
price abroad which regulates the price
at home. And yet the Mckinley bill
assumes to think that the farmer is
such ninny rs to think that tariff
protects him, and so with great flourish
increases the tariff on wheat to 25 per
cent. With the Boston Herald, eve
doubt if the Flathead Indians could
be fooled by the performance with
which Republican Congressman seek
to impose upon the tillers of the soil
in the United States"

RECENTLY the manager of q London
theater sent 1900 invitations to
clergymen to attend performance of
"Judah." All but eight accepted, and
filled the theater. They enjoyed the
play and applauded heartily. At the
close they called the leading actor be-
fore the curtain. The manager says
that twenty years ago it would have
been impossible to secnse such large
attendance of clergymen in a theater
to witness a play.

Republican State Convention.

The Republican State Convention
finished its labors at Tacoma on the
evening of the 25th. At the evening
session, after the platform had been
adopted. Col. Haines, of Seattle, placed
in nomination for Congress Hon.
John L. Wilson, the nomination,
being seconded by Coiner, OF Tacoma !;
Winston, of Spokane Falls; Thomp-
son, of Vancouver; Whalley, of Col
fax, and Fairchild, of Whatcom, and
the entire convention rose en- masse
and cheered Wilson's candidacy.
Just before the convention adjourned
Senator Squire and Judge Calkins
were called for, and both made
speeches, urging those present to in
crease the majority over that given to
Wilson last year. Tho senatorial
question was not alluded to by either
gentlemen, beyond the reminder by
both that they hoped to live to see
the day when the Columbia river
would be improved, numerous light
houses established ON the Sound, and
other incidental illusions to needed
Improvements in the State.
At the conclusion of the conven-
ton the members of the new State
committee met at the Tacoma hotel
and elected Senator Eugene Wilson,
of Kittitas, chairman OF the delega-
ton. The election OF Senator Wilson
is considered to mean q concession for
both the Calkins and Squire forces.
There were no committeeman named
by the chairman of the convention,
though minority report was offered
by Hayden, of Spokane, asking that
he be allowed to appoint three from
the State at large. The report was
voted down, the Spokane delegation
casting a solitary vote in its favor.
Geoghegan presided over the con-
yentiOn.

through the county, had found death
on the railway. 1t seems the car had
been freighted as such cars usually are
when loaded with lumber. 1t was so
piled as to leave space about five feet
wide extending athwart the car. Into
this hole the men had crawlcd, and
they met their fate, when, with the
force of the collision between the
freight and the passenger trains, the
lumber was jammed together with a
bang No trace of the identity of the
uniortunatcs could be found upon
them.
A FIREMAN's MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Andrew Jenny was the fireman Of
the locomotive at the head of No. 2,
the passenger train. Jenny, when the
train stopped, climbed down. He went
alongside the big engine and climbed
in under it to clean out the ash pan.
With the sizzling of steam and puff,
puff Of the engine at ease, he heard no
other noise. The first he knew that
something was wrong was when the
freight engine crashed into the pas
senger train. Its force sent the big
machine over him ahead. He had one
chance for life. That was to crowd his
body as close to earth as possible and
let the ponderous engine and the hot
box pass over. 1t was fearfully close
call, and the plucky fireman says ages
passed over him in moment. But
he was simply jammed closer to the
soft earth, the great machine passed
over him, and climbing up to little
place OF refuge under, he was soon safe,
for the shock over, the locomotive
quickly came to a standstill.
LATEST FROM TIE WRECK.
Coroner Hartsock of Thurston
county arrived at Tenino late in the
afternoon, and summoning jury held
an inquest on the bodies of the dead
men. 1t seems more careful search
of their persons developes that they
were not professional tramps, but Ia
borers stealing ride. On the body of
one was found hospital receipt for 81
in the name of Jacob Johnson. 1t
was signed by j. II. Smith & Co., con-
tractors, but no residence was given.
On the other body were found natural
ization papers in the name of Jacob
Strandberg. and signed by James J.
Flynn, county clerk Of San Francisco
in 1885, and $11 in money. The cor
oner's jury returned a verdict of acci-
dental death. The bodies of the un-
fortunate men will be buried at Tenino
today.

READ AND THINK.-The situation of
this country is alarming enough to
arouse every man who pretends to have
anyinterest in the public welfare. The
spirit OF a generous nation has been
insulted and abused by the party in
power. It's pledges to reduce the heavy
burden of taxation, that is crippling
our people, remain unfulfilled; it has
utterly failed to redeem its promises
in reference to the free coinage of sill
yer, and reckless extravaganza in the
expenditures of public moneys has
wasted the surplus turned over by a
Democratic administration, and left q
deficit in its place. Here are three
counts in an indictment, any one oi
which should be sufficient to condemn
the Republican party in the eyes of al
intelligent and patriotic citizens.

A Curious Calculation.

What is the value Of man in money,
financially, mathematically, as he
stands in the world Of commerce as a
thing of value? Can we count it in
dollars and cents? Even so; count it
to cent. OF course we leave out all
the poetry, all the heart, all the man,
except his money value.
Take what man can earn in year,
say $500, $1,000, $4,000 or $4,000, as it
may be. Let us take $1,000. Then
we deduct his necessary personal ex-
penses to enable him to do his work,
say $500. Then he produces $500 a
year net. Now, $4,000 at interest at
five per cent will bring that sum, and
is as valuable as the man. Yes, more
so. The man will die, and the money
will not. 1t will go on working forever.
How will you fix that difference?
Easily. Insure the life of the man
for about his value, so that when he
dies the money will yet remain. Sup
pose this will cost 500 year to in
sure $4,000. Then the $4,000 is the
true value of the man.
On this basis, what is a Chinaman
worth in China and in the United
States? In China, wages, one year,
$50; personal expenses, $50; net pro-
duct, $40. Then $500 is the value.
1t will earn the $40 in interest. When
he is insured at the same rate as above,
the premium will be $3.50 on $16O,
which is the value of John. When he
comes to California and earns $500 a
year and spends $75, he earns 1925 net.
Let him insure for $4,000, on a pre-
MUM of $50 year, and John is worth
about $4,000. His savings will pay
the insurance and the interest on that
sum.
This shows the value of John in this
State, and explains the eagerness to
send him here and get him in on any
terms. There is clear gain of 1000
to his owner.
In this way, any man can reckon
himself up and figure out his cash
value to his wife, children or heirs.
And we may see at glance that the
capital OF the United States is worth
far more than all the people. 1t will
bring more interest than they can earn
wages, over expenses.

PERTINENT QUESTIONS.

To the Editor of THE HERALD
If you had been led by designing persons
actuated by spirit of revenge into making
magligant attack, through your paper,
upon fellow-man and he challenged you
to produce your proof of your charges
against him, and you refused, what do you
think ought to be said of you! If after
seeing the challenge you Investigated the
matter and found there were no proofs to
offer and you refused to acknowledge the
fact, what do you think you would deserved
Of course you know that to assassinate a
PERSONS character is infinitely more muir
derous than to cut his throat. Of course
know you could never be guilty of such a
thing, but yet the supposed case above is a
real one. The men who founded the Salt
Lake Tribune tells me that he never saw
anything in 1t so abusive as G. G. Good
wins attack upon me. Yet l politely
asked the editor in an open letter, through
The HERALD, two weeks ago, TO give his
proofs and he remains silent. What is the
matter with the man! Has he made mis-
take and started for Washington supposing
that 1t was he who had 200 majority in the

Riding and Driyiug,
To the Editor of THE HERALD:

The city council is considering an ordin-
ance to prohibit the riding of bicycles on
the sidewalks in the business part of the
city. All right. 4 sensible bicyclist does
not ride his machine in the crowded parts
Of the city.
In Ireland there is similar law, but as
the Irish are a gallant race they exempt
ladies from the operation Of the law. Shall
Salt Lakers be less gallant than Irishmen?
Not by my consent. Rather go a step far
Their and not only exempt ladies from the
operation of the proposed ordinance, but
also respect age by exempting gentlemen
who have seen half century in this world.
Our sidewalks are of very liberal width,
excepting where foolishly fenced in, or
otherwise needlessly restricted. They are
OF three or four times more generous width
than those of Ireland.
One other thing might be done-forbid
riding or driving OF any kind through the
city, especially the populous parts of It, at
faster gait than about six miles an hour
Accidents from fast riding and driving are
increasing in number in the city

PROVO P0IN rs.

The capacity of the Provo Wooden mill
IS now being increased to the extent of
ABOUT $4,000 worth of new machinery
which arrived in Provo the evening of
November l3. This will very materially
benefit by creating a more extensive wool
market, enlarge the expectation and
furnish employment for many more mill
hands. Mr.. Reed, the former superintend-
ent, has taken his departure TO Europe, to
labor in the ministry. His recognized
business tact has kept the affairs of the
factory in the most perfect and prosperous
condition.
The Harmony club, composed of festive
body of youngsters from Salt Lake city,
with several Of their friends, came to
Provo for frollc and dance. The ball
was IN every respect success, with the
possible exception of it being too crowded.
The music given by Olson's band was very
line and well appreciated. The singing of
some OF tho choruseS was rather amateur
lsh, but the boys were at home in the
medley of old songs and made hit. The
ladies OF both Salt Lake and Provo Wed
with one another in displaying their
charms. The writer dare not venture an
opinion as to the comparative beauty. We
think the Enquirer harsh in stigmatizing
these boys as hoodlums, considered as
mass.
the opera house last evening was not
bowling success, as many anticipated.
There was a hitch here and there, also
failure in connections. Some of the C
sharp sopranos and lyric tenors were alb
sent through indisposition and local talent
was utilized to ill up the programme.
There were features presented possessing
fair merit. Signor Campobello has clear,
powerful voice, and his renditions were
duely appreciated. The piano execution
on those beautiful Sohmers deserves praise.
The local insertions compared very favora-
bly, with the balance of the programme.
