An ILLusoRY PROJECT.

So many interests are engaged on both
sides that no sober-mnded man believes
such II project can he realized at the
present time, The North German Ga
zettos warming against cherishing such
an Illusion on the subject
is well justified. German exports
to Austria amount to 800. 900 O0Oihorins,
OF which 1000, 90 ilorns IS textile
fabrics. The Austrian exports to Ger
many amount to 100000 horins, and
consist mainly OF raw products and
agricultural produce. Any increase in
the latter would ruin German agricul.
ture, while an increase in the former
would imperil the highly protected In
dustries OF Austria, The rsichstag and
tho German government are not likely
TO risk the loss of American markets on
the strength of the reciprocity clause by
cooperation with Austria, who loses

A New Sickness.

ROME, Feb. 23th.-The latest
news concerning the new ''la
nouna" is that at Reggie man
named Emilio, after having been
in bed for several days with in
fluenzs. was attacked by a leth
arglc sleep. The doctors tried IN
every way 10 arouse him but
without success. lie is now on
Iy kept alive by injections OF
liquid food.
Near Pavia a little girl after
two days illness with influenza,
fell into a profound sleep, and
now gives no outward signs OF
life. II Is evident that her heart
is still beating, but very family,
and with much infrequency.
Nothing that has been tried for
the purpose of awakening her
has succeeded. The Italian doc.
tors are studying the new mai

No Money in Straight Politics.

From the Knoxville Journal.
Governor Taylor says that II
years of political life has satisfied
him for awhile, aud he proposes
now $50 go 10 work and try 10
retrieve his fortunes" In a
money point of view he hasn't
found politics profitable. This
Is the same experience of hun
dreds of others. The honest man
whose object is 10 make money
will keep out Of politics. The
governor OF STATE like Tennes
see finds il. hard 10 save any oi
his $4,000 salary. The congress.
man, If he lives decenily. finds
it hard with his $4,000 salary ia
make ends meet. A goodly per
cent of his salary is expended
every year for postage stamps in
answering the letters of his ex-
acting constituents. And then
he must be elected once every
two years, which costs him an
other sire. Besides, if he dosen't I
contribute literally for building
churches and school houses he is
set down as stingy and mean.
There may be lots of fun and
honor in political life, but not
much money.

PLANTING WITH A CANNON.

A Happy Expedlent for Solving q Difn
cult Problem.
Alexander Nasmyth, the landscape
painter, was man fruitful of expeGients
To his mind, tho fact that thing could moi
be done in the ordinary manner, was nc
reason why it should be given up. His son
relates the following interesting example ol
his ingenuity:
The Duke of Athoi consnlved him as t.
some improvements which he desired to
make in his woodland scenery near Dun
keld.
Among ether things certain rocky crae
needed to be planted with trees, to relieve
the grim baroness of its appearance The
question was how to do it, as it vas i'm
possible for any man to climb the crag, in
order to set seed or plants in the clefts OF
the rock.
A,happy idea struck my father. Having
observed in front Of the castle pair OF
small cannon, used for firing salutes on
great days, it occurred to him to turn them
to account
A tinsmith in the village was ordered to
make number of canisters with covers.
The canisters were filed with all sorts OF
suitable tree seeds. The cannon was loaded,
and the canisters were fred up against the
high face of the rock. They burst, and
scattered the seed in ali directions.
Some years after, when my father re.
visited the place, he was delighted to find
that his scheme Of planting by artillery
had proved completely successful; tie trees
were flourishing lux,riantly in Gil Shs r.
oesses Of the elitY.

The discussion on the natural
Gas question has developed un.
necessary bad feeling. Why an
imosiiy should be ensendered
we do not care to know. The

men, professional men felt tha:

the benefit of The town. Natural

been 10 the towns benefit, was
suggested rs The preliminary
step in our progress. The mo-
ment the proposition was made

IN the town which has not pro
gressed.
The SENTINEL has favored the
proposition, and has presented
the case fairly TO the public. Civ
ing snch reasons as we thought
The public might fairly consider.
Last weeks Gagette, instead of
arguing The proposition before
the public, breaks out in strain
of bIackgnardism and low wit,
which is neither gentlcmanly or
professional.
He starts out by The charge
that Green is fighting Rempel.
This is false: In arguing for
natural gas we made no fight on
any one. Rempel was never
mentioned in the Sentinel, and
if he and his toady Pursell, con-
ceives the idea that Green is
fighting them, it is because they
feel a fight should be made on
them.
1t is our notion that Mr.. Pur-
sell, who is an able editor and a
gentleman, did not write the al
tlcle in his last weeks paper
and that Col. Rempel did not
approve it.

ditlon of Green's clothes got to

has Green's Democracy got to do

Camels' Hum ps.

Structurally, of course, the humps are
nothing-mere Jumps of fat, collected un.
der a convenient fold Of the skin. and
utterly unprovided for in the framework
of the skeleton. When the animal Is at
its best and well fed, they are full and
plump, standing up on his back firm and
upright; but on long journey they are
gradually absorbed to keep up the fres
that work the heart and legs, and in the
caravan camels which arrive at the coast

that the Republican policy is
