Among other people who are expressing
themselves strongly upon the unnatural,
unreasonable mildness OF the weather, are
the frr-dealers. The present promised TO
be a most unusually prosperous year for
them. After several years OF partial neglect
furs opeued the winter boldly, and expe-
rlenced a food-tide of popularity. The
fur-men congratulated themselves. And
now, those who bought their furs are una,
bic to wear them, and those who Intended
buying are prudently ebstaining, winch
has very demoralizlng effect upon tue
dealers.

Artificial Gutta- Percha.

DIR. Purcell Taylor of London,
claims to have succeeded in making
new insulating material, having all
the properties of gutta-percha, but
with higher dielectric resistance.
The new substance, which is to be
called "purcellite," is, according to
the writer, very tough and elastic.
A piece of iron covered with it, he
states, was hammered out fiat, then
bent and twisted until it broke, with
out even cracking the covering. The
cost, it is added, is only about lao
that of gutta-percha. 1t may be
made any color, and either flexible
or rigid.

A Pheasant and a Snake Fight.

A Wrightsville, Pa, hunter recent
ly saw pheasant and a blacksnake
fight. 1t lasted for quite while.
The bird moved with such rapidly
that the snake was unable to encircle
it. The blacksnake retreated once
for several feet, but it turned and
rushed at the bird with its head
raised at least a foot from the ground.
AS the two met the pheasant darted
forward and planted its beak square
in one Of the snakes eyes. She kept
up the battle and finally killed it.
When the hunter examined the
snake its head was almost severed
from its body. .u..t al l..

N To Save Ice.u


The American Analyst says that if
ice is completely enveloped in news
papers, so that all air is shut out, it
will keep a longer time than under
other conditions, and that a pitcher
of ice-water laid in a newspaper with
the ends of the paper twisted together
to exclude the air, will remain all
night in any summer room with
scarcely any perceptible melting Of
the ice. These facts, if such, should
be utilized Oftener than they are in
the care Of the sick at night. In
freezing ice cream, when the ice is
scarce, pack the freezer only three
quarters full ice and salt, and finish
with newspapers, and the difference
in the time Of freezing and quality Of
the cream is.not perceptible from the
result when the freezer is packed full
Office. After removing the dasher, il
is better to cork up the cream and
tightly with newspapersthan
to use more ice. The newspaper re.
tains the cold already in the ice bet.
ter than a packing Of cracked ice and
salt, which must have crevices to ad.
nit the air. Dngi' hAi,lH 1ld@ntr.al

Uses for Old Papers.


Most housekeepers know how in
valuable newspapers are for packing
away the winter clothing, the print
ing ink acting as defiance to the
stoutest moth, some housewives
think, as successfully as camphor or
tar paper. For this reason newspa-
pers are invaluable under the carpet
paper. The most valuable quality OF
newspapers in the kitchen, however,
is their ability to keep out the air.
1t is well known that ice, complete
ly enveloped in newspapers so that
all air is shut out, will keep longer
time than under other conditions

Plount Not a Candidate.

! Representative Blount says he is not a
candidate for governor. and it is quite GER
tain that he means what he says He has
never sought the ollie as far as the public
knows and hisname has been mentioned in
| connection with it only because of his emf
nent fitness for it and his honorable record
as a public servant He is satisfied to re-
main in congress, and there is no doubt that
he can be reelected to his present position
as often as he wants to be.
While the nomination for governor viii
not 90 Alleging, it is quite safe to say that
no one can predict with any degree of Ger
tainty who the nominee will be. The
nomination will not be made for several
months, and within that time public senti-
ment is likely to undergo considerable
change with respect to gubernatorial candi-
dates. There are some indications, not very
marked as yet, that candidate who has
not figured conspicuously in the guber-
Material race will be pushed toward the
front with considerable vigor later on.
Those, therefore, who think it is their par
ticular duty to fix up the democratic slate
should keep their eyes wide open for new
developments.
Mr.. Blount says that the people ought
not to permit themselves to be influenced
into supporting any man for governor or
the legislature unless they are absolutely
certain that he has their interests at heart
and has the ability to serve them credita-
bly,. In other words, don't nominate men
simply because they want to be nominated
The thing to do is, to go about the work of
making nominations just as if it were bust
ness matter of a private nature. Nominate
the best and ablest men, whether they seek
nominations or not. and hold them to a
strict accountability for the performance
of their duty. If the people heed what Mr..
Blount says their next governor and legis-
lature will reflect credit upon the state.

A Good Platform.

The resolutions adopted by the farmers
alliance Of DeKalb county, and published
in the MORNING News some days ago, are
of the right kind. 1t is probable that the
alliances of all the other counties approve
them. If there are any who do not, it
would be interesting to know their reasons
for refusing to do So The DeKalb alliance
says that the alliance movement is not in
tended to advance the interest of any man
or any set of men. Its purpose is to
do the greatest good to the greatest
number. 1t is not political organ
ization, and it would make a very
grave mistake if it were to
undertake to dictate as to who should fill
the different offices. In It's resolutions the
DeKalb alliance says: 1--WE unhesitatingly
condemn the idea that any officer of the
alliance can use that Office to the advancing
of his private political ends and his candi-
dacy for any Office from bailiff to governor:
that we draw the line between a mar bear
ing aloft the Alliance banner as its chosen
champion for the advancement of its prln-
ciples, and one simply using the alliance as
stepping stone to place aud power"
to those who have been counting on the
alliance to boost them into Office, aud vet
they have no reason to complain. If they
are deserving and worthy they stand good
chance of getting helping hand from
members of the alliance, who in whatever
way they render help will act as citizens
and not as members of the alliance. The
first duty Of the alliance is to look out for
its own interest. 1t would not be doing
that duty if it were to attempt to manage
political affairs, because its members would
soon quarrel with each other, and the
downfall Of the alliance would speedily
| follow.
If the alliance is wise, it will let the peo-
pie manage political matters. 1t will do no
more than urge its members to exert them
selves to support good men for Office If it
goes beyond that in the political field it
will soon doubtless come to grief.
