Lions in n Hotel.

New York hotels and apartment
houses have usually gone to England
for their names. The Victoria, the
Windsor, the Brunswick, all serve to
illustrate how fond Americans are of a
name which carries with it a suggestion
of the mother country. The new Plaza
hotel, however, has varied the pro-
gramme by choosing name associated
with Venice, and has heightened the
effect by taking as symbol the lion of
st. Marks. He shakes his shaggy name
at the guest from every possible place
in the furniture and decoration of the
house.
He crouches under the stairway, is
woven into the window curtains, and
even looks out with good natured fe-
rocity from the center of every piece of
the Limoges dinner service. The king
of beasts might not take kindly to serv-
ing as the device of an ordinary house
of entertainment, but he cannot surely
feel it sacrifice to his dignity to pre-
side over such splendor as surrounds
him on every side at the Plaza. -Kate

How Steam Has Helped Man.

A steam 'horse power" is equal to
three actual horses power; and liv-
ing horses strength is equal to that of
seven men. The steam engines of the
world represent, approximately, the
working power Of 1000, 900, 900 Of men,
|or more than double the working pop
Ialatiof1 of the world, the total popula-
ion of which Is usually estimated at
h ,45s, 923, 900 inhabitants. Steam has
accordingly enabled man to treble his
working power, making it possible for
hin, to economic his physical strength
while attending to his intellectual de-
yeloplnent. st. Louis Republic.

There is a good deal in the way you
turn up an ordinary every day Tor
night gas jet with glass shade or
globe over it. Those small jets that
are like penciled rays of light, directed
suddenly against the globe, cause I'M
equal expansion, and the globe cracks.
Still more remarkable results attend
the too swift illumination of the best
room when the young daughter of the
house is bidding her lover good night,

My host, knowing that was something

past furnished was evidently of unusual
elaborateness, and it went fairly we'll
until the salad came on. I could not
eat any of that after the first mouth
full, which l managed with difficulty to
I swallow. Observing that l refrained
from the dish my entertainer said:
I'm afraid you don't find this first

mitted reluctantly.
"'Ah,' replied my friend, who had
finished with apparent gusto his own

might not prove satisfactory. You see,

struck me particularly on the occasion

of the lobster salad. 1here was evil
IDENTITY garlic in it, but that estinable
vegetable was so artistically infused
that, instead of communicating an act
ual taste of garlic, it simply contributed
an indescribable and underlined accent
uation to the flavor of the dish. I
asked that the chef be summoned and
demanded of him how he was able to
use garlic with such marvellous delicacy
and effectiveness. He replied:

The Third Party Plot.

Az w. Dh'J ot"tNS, DSO' no.
The Times Union of Jacksonville,
Fla, yesterday published an article
showing that the third party move
ment, which was given birth to by the
recent convention at Ocala of the Ma
tional Farmers Alliance, and the &C
couchment of which received the spe-
cial attention of the delegates from the
Northwest, all of whom are ardent Re
publicans, is nothing more than plot
to pave the way for Il Republican vic
tory in 1892, by breaking the solid
South.
The purpose of McGratl,, of Kansas,
Loucks, of South Dakota, and Deming,
of Pennsylvania, who are at the bot
tom of the scheme, in insisting on the
adoption of the sub treasury plan was,
as they confessed, to divide the Demo-
cratic party in the Southern States, be-
cause they are we'll aware of the fact
that the Democrats Of this section of
the country would never support such
a stupid proposition, and their hope
and intention is to ALLEVIATE the farm
ers from the Democratic party and en-
able the Republicans in 1892 to capture
several Southern States.
They further confessed that the sub
treasury plan was decidedly objection
able to the people of their own States,
but that their action i'll advocating it at
the Ocala convention would be indoors
ed when it became known in the North
and West that it is to be used as an in
strument to disrupt the Democracy of
the South. In other words the farmers
of the South are to be led into Il trap
which has been laid for them 10y the
Republican agents in the Alliance, and
the sub fad is to be the bait to
catch them but we are inclined to be-
lieve, now that the plot has been ex-
posed, that it will be an ignomiuious
failure
That the third party movement is in
the interest of the Republican party
there can be no donht; it is shown by
the character of the call issued this
morning for Il convention to be held at
Cincinnati, on February 23d. OF the
fifteen States that signed the call, ten
of them are Southern and Democratic,
and the other five, with the exception
of Indiana, which must be reckoned as
doubtful, are Republican. Two of the
three men who signed the call in behalf
of the State of Arkansas, Congressman
Featherstone and would-be Congress-
man Langley, are Republicans, and the
third is doubtless willing to be any
thing for office. The fact of the mat
ter is if all the alleged farmers who
signed the call for the Southern States
were to be scratched on the backs, IL
very thick substratum of Republican,
ism wonld no doubt soon be exposed to
view.
The exposure of the conspiracy to
destroy the political solidarity of the
South WAS timely aud our farmers
should ponder over it, lis we believe
they will do. and emphatically refuse
to have anything to do with it. Their
hope and their protection for the future
depends on Il united Democracy, and if
they permit themselves to be led from
their allegiance to the Democratic
party, which is now struggling for the
preservation of the liberties of the peo-
pie and to free them from the thraldom
of plutocracy, the day is sure to come
when they will be forced to chew the
cud of bitter reflection. 0
