A new "fad" has struck eastern
social circles. 1t is called the "spider
web party" and Is becoming quite
popular. It consists of running as
many threads as there are guests all
over the house, twisting them about
the pictures, over doors and windows,
etc. AT the end of each thread is a
number, and each guest Is furnished
with a corresponding number. The
guests find their number and follow
the threads through all their derlous
windings and snarls to the end
where a prize awaits them. The per
suit leads to all kinds of complica
tions, and is very amusing.

The pleasant weather which has
prevailed since the November bliz-
zard has been general all over the
west. According to the precedent
of former years we may look for a
siege of cold weather the first week
in January, although we believe the
professional weather clerks have set
the time for the 23d of January. In
any event the winter will propbahly
be of short existence and this re
minds us of what Governor Gilpin

the effect that In his boyhood DAYS
the Hudson and Delaware rivers
were frozen up every winter tor six

We learn something new every
day. Mr.. Charlie Glessner, of Grand
Junction, Mesa county, has discover.
ed novel way of making water run
up hill, and has secured patent on
his invention. 1t is a simple affair,
but perfect in effect and attracts fay-
or,ble attention in irrigation circles.
1t consists of tube, of any desired
length, bent IN spiral form, and so
arranged that one end is placed in
the body of water and the other end
elevated TO the point where 1t may
be desired to discharge the water.
The spiral shaft is supplied through
out its length at regular intervals
with circular floats resting in watts of
water which gives it a perfect and
uniform poise and removes all fric
ton. With but little power the shaft
is given rotary motion and as the
lower end of the spiral tube dips wa,
ter at each revolution, il is carried
up and emp.ied at the upper end. Ii
can be made in any length from six
feet to as many as may be desired

Party Ties.

The returns of the recent election show very plainly that party ties are not so strong in this country as they formerly were. For several years past the ten dency toward independent voting has been steadily growing, and it is no long CT safe to count upon the general devo- ton of the people to party's sake. The old issues upon which the Republicans and Democrats used to divide have lost their force for the main part, and new questions and considerations have inter vened to shape the course of political sentiment. These issues of the past have not been forgotten, but their practical serviceableness has been exhausted, and the average voter will not be swayed by them when they interfere with the proper adjustment of other and immediately i'm portant matters. We are living in a period of surpassing commercial and in dustrial activity, and economic questions necessarily take precedence of all others. The saving of the Union and the freeing of the slaves were splendid and beneh- cent achievements, unequaled in all the | history of the country; but they count for | little or nothing in present politics. They | belong to another age, like the events oi | the Revolution and the war of 1872, and | the people are not disposed to go on vot ing as if the conditions of a previous epoch were still in existence. The duties and responsibilities that now pertain tc American citizenship are different iron those of any preceding time, and 1t i' useless to try to subordinate them tC things of historic interest only.
 This does not signify that new align ment of the voting forces is impending Such a result is possible to be sure, bu not probable, at least for a good many years to come. The fact is manifest, how ever, that the parties must adapt thei creeds and purposes to the present drlf of popular thought and feeling, if the, expect to retain their strength and con tinue their service. This is particularl. true of the Republican party. It has ha( q lesson this year from which it ought tt learn the necessity of so shaping it's cours
 as to satisfy the country that it can b
 trusted to solve confronting problems il
 accordance with the wishes of the people
 rather than in obedience to any tradition
 or prejudice. A majority of the voter
 are unquestionably favorable to the prin
 ciples and policies for which 1t stands
 but they will not all vote it's ticket whel
 it attempts to apply those principles an'
 policies in an arbitrary and impruden way. It must give head to the opinion and the wants of the masses in relation
 which touch their material welfare Party ties have ceased to be governed b
 sentiment and emotion. Men will nc regard them any more when they requir
 a surrender of privates judgment with rt
 spect to practical issues and interest,"
 The time has come when politict
 triumphs can be won only by dealin honestly and wisely with those subject which are uppermost in the minds of th , people--with questions of business, ( ! labor, and of common prosperity.

By Balloon to the North Pole.

Two Frenchmen MT. Besancon, an aer- onaut, and Mr. Hermite, an astronomer, are seriously talking of trying to reach the North Pole in balloon. Their pro- ject is under way, but they do not propose to start until a year from next May. They want an enormous balloon that will carry four tons. Their equipment will include scientific instruments, eight dogs and sledge, small, unsuitable canoe, and provision for a month. Starting from Spitzbergen in a favorable wind, they think they can cross the Pole and reach some civilized place in America or Asia in about ten days. With the aid of a drag anchor they expect to sail near enough the earth to take photographs and make scientific observation.
 It is a fascinating scheme, and the members of the Paris College of Aerial Navigation are said to be much interested, and will assist to carry it out. A few years ago Lieut.. Cheyne, once of the English navy, conceived the idea of mak- ing little jaunt to the North Pole in a balloon. He elaborated his idea quite ingeniously, and was greatly disappoint- | ed that the scientific men of Great Bri- tain would not listen to him. Then 1 Cheyne came to this country, to tell on l the lecture platform WnaI great trlp lie vas going to make to the North Pole in balloon, and how safe and practicable the idea was He told his story in sever. al cities, Illustrating it with stereoption views, ,EEmost of which, however, were of things terrestrial, showing the Arctic ex- plorer on terra firma instead of in mid air. But when Cheyne returned home, he had not added many dollars to the f11n6 for bic hol oDtorprico
 We dare say that some day the world will know by actual observation just what the country is like around the North Pole; but the discovery will not be made by balloon, at least until the science oi aeronautics has reached more advanced position than it at present occupies-N Y. Sun.

Now remember what I say to you: may be struck my self, and then skill is out of the ques- ton; but if am not my antagonist may have cause to regret his having forced me into this conflict
 ''The parties were then placed on the ground at, think, twelve paces, each having a case of pistols, with directions to fire when they chose after given sig nal. D'Esterre rather agitated himself by making short speech, disclaiming all hostility to his Roman Catholic countryman, and took his ground, some. what theatrically crossing his pistols on his bosom. They fired almost together and instantly on the signal. D'Esterre fell mortally wounded.

Outlook for Western Architecture

Take it altogether the outlook for western city houses seems most promis- ing. Western people themselves are be- coming, and will still more become, al most ideal clients. It is true that, as in the east, western city dwellings have not escaped the deadly touch of the "know- it-all" client, nor of the man who is building the house to suit himself, nor of him who lis going to live inside the house. not outside" and who is therefore loftily indifferent to the street aspect of his house; but each, even the last per son, is becoming infrequent.
 In the past, and to some degree at present, western cities have been and are influenced by men whose lives have been absorbed by things too material to leave them much leisure for art; but even in the case of such men there is a marked indisposition to dictate in direc- tions where their knowledge is incom- plete. They have large openness and unbiased attitude of mind, and genu- inc and earnest desire to ''get the best J
 In the west is less often found than in the east the ''esthetic crank" and it is also true that life in the west is less con ventional, freer, less restrained by arti. ficial restrictions than in older commu mites, and the true nature of people and things is perhaps more frankly ex pressed.-John W. Root in Scribner's.
