Animals That Eat with Their Gizuard.

AnlIhRls AnaC Eau Win 1nelr OlzLSros
The cuttle-fsh which, among other strange
things, always walks with its head down
ward, does not chew its food at all, but mas
ticates with its gizzard. So do geese, fowls,
ducks and indeed all modern birds Selling
their food in their beaks, they swallow it
whole, if grain or seed, and in large pieces if
it be fruit or bread. In that condition it goes
into the gizzard, a powerful muscle with a
very tough, horny lining, which acts as a mill,
being sufficiently powerful to pulverize I'M
cooked corn. To assist in the milling process
all grain-eating birds swallow little pieces of
gravel, glass, crockery, metal, etc, the horny
interior of the gizzard being sufficiently tough
to escape cutting by these materials. 1t is
because of this fact that the ostrich has &C
quired his reputation of enjoying ferrugin-

the Democrats party in the State cleo

the Democratic party in the State cleo
ton this fall
There is nothing in the Democratic
soldiers society, it is added, that con-
fiicts with membership in the Grand
Army of the Republic. Most of the men
enlisted in the Democratic camps are
already members in good standing in
the older institution. The Grand Army
hosts are supposed to be entirely nom
partisan, and their rules prohibit partk
san discussions or action in their places
of meeting. These rules have not been
always fully adhered to in spirit, per
haps, and Democratic members have ex-
perienced some discomfort when COM
mitted, by majority of the other party,
to action they could not approve. In
the new society, which is confessedly
partisan, such annoyances will not be
possible, while the loyalty of members
to the old order and its proclaimed
principles need not be forfeited.
The Democratic order ought to have
rapid growth throughout this State
and the West It is good, honest,
straightforward society, about the pur-
poses of which there is no concealment.
The Republican veterans could not do
better than follow the example by setting
up party organization of their OWE, thus
leaving the Grand Army posts to prose-
cute their benefcent work entirely free
from partisan influences or suggestions

IT Speaker Reed can count Demo
cratic as well as Republican votes in
order to carry Republican measures, the
idea of government by party must be
abandoned. Macon (Ga.) Telegraph.
Chairman Edward Carroll, of the

says that Reed should learn a lesson
from Foraker that even Republicans
don't always re-elect their meanest men

CHARLES Emory Smith, of Philadel-
phia, has been appointed Minister to
Russia His qualifications for the place
are, first, he is the editor of a Harrison
organ; second, he has had the Russian
nfluenza.-Chicago Herald.
The claim Of the majority that
they have right to govern the House
without attending its sessions and
taking part in the conduct of its bust
ness is too preposterous to require ref
utation.-Hon. John G. Carlisle.
Against the brains of thirty

Taxation in itself is never bless

The strongest rebukes yet printed
in reference to the action of Speaker
Reed are the extracts from the speeches
of that gentleman. No one has ex-
ceeded the Maine autocrat in claiming
tho right of the minority to refrain
from voting to prevent the appearance OF
q quorum. A compilation of his speeches
would convince every citizen Of the
duplicity involved in the present posi-

One of the best methods of cleaning
hair brushes is to put full teaspoonful
of household ammonia into a basin of

rub briskly with the hand, or better still,
with another brush. When thoroughly

acknowledgement
A change-life came back to me, but be-
tween the new life and the life that had
been was gulf and difference. Once more
stood in the darkness of the shrine, but it
blinded me no more. 1t was clear as the
light of day, although it was still black. I
stood; and yet it was not I who stood, but
rather my spiritual part, for at my feet lay
my dead SELF There it lay, rigid and still, a
stamp of awful calm sealed upon its face
while gazed on it.
And as gazed, filed with wonder, was
caught up on the Wings of Flame and
whirled away! awayl faster than the light
ming flash. Down fell, through depths Of
empty space, set here and there with gilt
tering crowns of stars. Down for ten
million miles and ten times ten million, till
at length lowered over place of soft, un-
changing light, wherein were Temples, Pal
aces and Abodes, such as no man ever saw
in the widest visions of his sleep. They
were built of Flame, and they were built of
Blackness. Their spires pierced up and up;
their great courts stretched around. Even
as lowered they changed continually to
the eye; what was fame became blackness,
what was blackness became flame. Here
blaze of gems shone even through the glory
that rolls around the city which is in the
Place of Death. There were trees, and
their voice as they rustled was the voice OF
music; there was air, and as it blew its
breath was the sobbing notes of song.
Shapes, changing, mysterious, wonderful,
rushed up to meet me and bore me down
till seemed to stand upon another earth.
"Who comes!" cried a great voice.
"Harmachis,' answered the Shapes that
changed continually. 'Harmachis, who
hath been summoned from the earth to
look upon the face of Her, that Was, and
Is, and Shall Be. Harmachis, Child OF
Earthr'
s'Throw back the Gates and open wide the
Doors" pealed the awful voice. Throw
back the Gates and open wide the Doors.
Seal up his lips in silence, lest his voice jar
upon the harmonies of heaven; take away
his sight, lest he see that which may not be
seen, and let Harmachis, who hath been
summoned, pass down the path that leads
to the place of the Exchanging. Pass on,
Child of Earth; but, before thou goest, look
up that thou mayest learn how far thou art
removed from earth.'
looked up. Beyond the glory that
shone about the city was black night, and
high on its bosom twinkled one tiny star.
0Behold the world that thou hast left"
said the voice, ssbehold and tremble."
Then my lips and eyes were touched and
sealed with silence and with darkness, so
that was dumb and blind. And the gates
rolled back, the doors swung wide, and
was swept into the city that is in the place
of Death. Swiftly was swept know not
whittier, till at length stood upon my feet.
Again the same voice pealed:
"Draw the vail OF blackness from his
