Now and then the explorer among
primitive people happens upon Il find"
which strikingly illustrates that necessity
is not only the mother of invention, but
that there is n strong family likeness
among the inventions. An English nat
%uralist, while visiting Great Sangir,
one of those islands of the Indian ocean
known ms the Celebes, or Spice Islands,
lodged Mt the house Of n rajah.
In front of the house was n veranda,
in the corner of which stood n sentry,
whose business it was to keep the time
for the village, Ivy the aid Of a primitive
sandglass.
Two bottles We're firmly dashed to-
gether mouth Ia mouth, and fixed in a
wooden frame, made TO stand upright in
reversible positions. A quantity of black
sand ran from one bottle into the other
in just half an hour, and when the upper
bottle was empty the frame vas re-
verscd.
Twelve short sticks, marked with
notches from ore TO twelve, were hung
upon u string. A hook was placed be-
tween the stick bearing the number Of
notches corresponding to the hour last
struck and the one to be struck next.
The sentry announced the time by strik-
ing the hours ON 4 large gong.-Montreal

The people of Fort Collins, although
they have met with many disheartening
reverses, have not yet given up hope that
the Colorado Central may yet be re
opened to this city. A telegram in the
Denver Republican from Fort Collins
says Although a high official of the
Union Pacific railroad company gave it
out some time ago that the Colorado Cen
trail road was soon to be re-opsned be
tween Fort Collins and Cheyenne. the
company does not seem to be taking
active steps toward dong so. The old
rails, long since converted into two streaks
Of rust, are being removed IRON the road
bed. The ties have long since succumbed
to the action OF the elements or been car.
ried away for frewooi. However, there
are indications that the company intend
opening the road, mandamus or no man
damus.
"a few days since two gentlemen, said
to be engineers of the Union Pacific com
pany, arrived 10 Fort Collins, procured a
livery team and drove over the line be
tween this city aud Cheyenne. The peo-
pie OF Fort Collins are very anxious for
this piece OF road to be put again in oper-
alton, as the closing OF this portion of the
Colorado Central has virtually placed
them upon a sidetrack. Fort Collins gar
deners complain most bitterly at present
of the railway facilities between this place
and Wyoming, as all freight destined for
that section Inns to be transferred at Gree
ley, causing much delay and often an en-
tire loss in a shipment Of vegetables. To
make a sure and speedy delivery they
now transport garden products to Chey-
enne and Laramie city by wagon, a jour
ney that much valuable time
and causes a heavy additional expense.
Before the closing Of this road, a
shipment made from Fort Collins would
reach Cheyenne 10 three or four hours.
The crying need of Northern Colorado,
therefore, is the reopening of this impor-
tant piece of railroad"

FLLpPANCY AND FACTS.

Will our democratic friends tell us what
measure the democrats have passed or
attempted to pass, in the last twenty five
years for the relief of the lsbOrer or tar
mer. The question has been ~propounded
to as, and we can't think just now what
it was.-SnddHce Republican.
The foregoing is a piece of fippancy
that is quite common among the Repub-
can papers. The Democratic party need
not 20 beyond the present tariff discus
sion to prove what it has done and is do
ing Tor the laborer and farmer. In the
fight now IN progress the two parties oc,
cupy Numerically opposed positions.
The Republican party on the one hand
represents the coterie of m%onopolists who
have faitened for years upon the life
blood of the working people. They force
the American people to pay more for
goods of their manufacture thar they de
mand from foreigners on the open mar
kets of the world and the Republican
party is forcing the government into the
attitude of being a party to the crime.
DESPITE the immense profits of these
manufactures they grind down the poor
men who are forced to work for them to a
minimum Of wages and when they rebel
import the Of scourinVs OF Europe to
take their places. The Democratic party
is swayed in a life and death struggle
against these m%onopolists and in favor of
the long suffering American people who
are taxed to foster these m%onopolIes.
There is no doubt that the Mckinley
bill, slightly modified, perhaps, will be
passed. 1t is the result Of a direct bar
gain between the managers of the Re
publican party and the American Pro
tective association, which will contribute
dollar for dollar with the Republican Ma
tIonal committee to every Republican
campaign fund throughout the country.
The coming campaigns, in Wyoming as
we'll as elsewhere, will be conducted BY
the Republicans strictly on a Doodle basis.
There will be the usual pretense Of prin-
ciple and assumptions of p%aternal interest
10 the working classes, but the chief re-
lance will be placed upon the power Of
money to achieve results which could not
otherwise be achieved. Even at this early
day the skirmish line OF the Doodle brigade
has reached Wyoming aud the barrel is
being cautiously tapped and its contents
disseminated.
1t rests with the American people to
say whether the ~monopolists are to longer
fatten at the general expense.

A curious group of rocks near Milan
has recently been described by a member
OF tine Paris Academy OF Sciences. 1t is
known as NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. An ir-
regular mass of rocks, some 200 feet high,
resembles the towers of II citadel in a
striking manner The citadel is sur
rounded by FIVE dcpressions 300 or 400
feet deep, of which appears like an
amphitheatre, n second n metropolis, a
third Il parade and the fourth a regularly
laid out city quarter, with public monu-
ments, gates, straight streets and inter
sections suggesting at once such places
as Pompeii, Carnac and P~ersepolis. The
whole city" covering an extent of some
200 acres, is surrounded by n natural
wall 300 to 400 feet high. 1t is a most
wonderful freak of natrre.-St. Louis

FlJlAN BREAD.
Hos the Natives Manipulate the Fruit OF
the Breadfruit Tree.

H0~ the Natives Manipulate the Fruit OF
the Breadfruit Tree.
The first mention of the breadfruit re-
calls the mutiny of the Bounty, whose
mission was to transplant this tree from
Otaheite, as the early navigators called
it, Il Jamaica. In his dangerous voyage
in an open boat Biigh sailed athwart
this Fijian group with a gale raging at
his back. He passed a canoe filled with
warriors, and as he hurried by the ma
tives stood up and pointed to the loom
of and to the southwark and shouted
'My-wollah," but what in the world
this may mean the man does not live
who can tell. Baked or boiled, the fruit
is a starchy, somewhat sticky vegetable,
with no earthly resemblance to bread.
1t differs from the yam in that it may
not be preserved for future use, but in
its natural state must be eaten at once
Yet, preserved, it is, after n peculiar dis
tressing fashion, not at all pleasant to
the civilized taste.
The ripe fruit is stripped of its sticky
rind and is grated on blocks of coral,
and when reduced to a shapeless mass is
vigorously pounded with a pestle in a
mortar. While some are thus preparing
the pulp others are engaged digging pits
on the pebbly beach about half tide
level, each pit of about a bushel capacity
and lined with banana leaves. Each of
these pits is then filed with the pulped
breadfruit packed hard, the stones are
thrown back upon it, and n little heap
marks the spot where the dainty is pre-
served. Twice every day the tides come
in and salty ~saturate the buried food,
twice every day for at least four months,
for short of the expiration of that time
the preserve is not considered at its best,
the limit in the other direction being
certainly not less than a year.
As need for the food arises the pits are
opened, and then the reek of rottenness
spreads down the wind. The process Of
preserving is but that of decay aided by
the sea water, and it naturally results
that the preserve smells to the skies
when its repose is disturbed. Little do
the Fijians care for this smell, on which
they nave been nourished, though to the
last man their gorge would rise at cayi-
are or high cheese such as is in favor
with us. The fruit that went into the
pit as a pulp comes out as thick custIrd,
and is nodded into little cakes of the size
of a mans hand and, each wrapped in
banana leaves, is put into a pot and
steamed. After cooking the distinctive
odor appears to be redoubled, but the
cake is sweet and extremely pleasant TO
the taste if only the nose can be coerced
into giving over its lively repugnance to
that which goes beneath it to tho mouth.
This is the madria nj viii, the Fijian
bread, which is everywhere eaten and
relished.-Montreal Star.

Little Kate was one of those children
who furnish their parents with interest
ing and amusing anecdotes. One Sunday
afternoon she came to her mother and
begged for n Bible story. Her mother
WIS reading. but Katie begged hard, and
at last said: ''If you will tell me a Bible
story first, mamma, thon I viii tell you
n real good one. too"
Her mother related the story of Sam
son and the lion. and of the bees which
came and stored their honey ia the lions
carcass,
And now what is the Bible story you
are going to tell me!' she asked.
With perfect gravity Katie began ut
the beginning and repeated the story
which had just been told to her, using
almost the same words. Her mother let
her go through it, and then said:
But that is the very story | told you.
Do you think that is fairy'
80, mammal the child answered
quickly. this isn't the same story at all,
for my bees We're humble bees. Youths

WHY cannot our esteemed contempor-
airy tell the truth? The Democratic party
is opposed to the admission of Wyoming
as a state, but The LEADER is not candid
enough TO admit 1.-THE Sun.
1t was a democratic committee on terri
tories which first made a report favoring
the admission of Wyoming We deny
most strenuou=lY that the Democrats IN
congress were opposed to the Wyoming
admission bill as such. They did, how
ever, oppose the scheme Of creating two
new Republican states without giving
two Democratic territories an equal show.
The action upon the part OF the Re-
publicans was purely political in its char
acter and this issue was forced from the
very beginning. The Republicans voted
for the bill, not from any high sense of
the justice of WyUming's cause, but sim
ply on the assurance that in the event of
its admission Wyoming would be safely
Republican.
All statements to the contrary are sim
ply buncombe.

We offer no apology for devo:ing so much
time and attention to this much neglected
class of diseases, believing that no condition
Of humanity is too wretched to merit the SYM
pathy and best services OF the profession TO
which we belong, as many are Innocent suf-
ierers, and that the physician who devotes
himself to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, Is no less a
philantrophist and beneiactor to his race than
the surgeon or physician who by close appli-
cation excels in any other branch OF his pro
~fession. And, fortunately for humanity, the
day Is dawning when the false philantrophy
like the lepers under the Jewish law to die
uncared for, has passed away.

Augustus Prospsritv.

augusta is IL very prosperous condition.
The Chronicle Of that city, in trade re-
view edition, issued on Monday, shows
the volume of her business for the last bust
ness year, and the progress she has made in
wealth and population. The edition is a
splendid one, creditable alike to Augusta
and to the Chronicle. The Chronicle
doesn't do anything by halves, and Augusta
owes it debt of gratitude for the complete
and comprehensive manner in which it pre-
sented her to the world on Monday.
1t seems, according to the Chronicles
figures, that the total business of Augusta
for the year ending Sept. l, last, amounted
TO $7O,OOO,000. There are very few cities of
the size of Augusta that can make as good
showing as that. 1t inspires the Chronicle
to say that there are those who have never
wavered in their belief that Augusta is
destined to become the commercial and
manufacturing metropolis of the south. ~
Augusta may not reach that position soon,
but everybody will admit that she is now
ing along the up grade with gratifying
rapidity.
The Chronicle thinks that Augusta, with
IN few years, will be the hub of the rail-
road systems Of the south. The Chronicle
is very ambitious for Augusta, and nat
urally 80, and it is excusable for being a
little extravagant in its expressions. The
following from one of it's editorial articles,
however, is heartily approved; at should
be the pride of the men and women of Au-
gusta to make her great city. This gem
GRAFTON can do it. And theirs will be the
glory and the reward" People who don't
take pride in their own city and lend a
helping hand in its up-building ought to be
drummed out of town.

Qusv's coioniz ltion scheme.

The New York World is authority for
the statement that Senator Quay aud other
republican leaders are parties TO a scheme
to make Indiana, West Virginia and Con-
necticut certainly republican by colonizing
in them negroes from North Carolina The
/ World says that il has reliable authority
| for the statement that the purpose of these
leaders is to send 10.00) negroes TO Indi-
ana, 1000 to West Virginia and 5000 to
! Connecticut.
| 1t is said that the scheme originated with
a man named Lindsey, who lives in Wash
ington, D. c., and who brought it TO the
attention Of Quay, Dudley, Clarkson and
other. Letters are published which indi-
cate pretty clearly that the scheme has
been approved and prepa rations made for
carrying it out.
There never has been a shrewder or more
INSCRIPTIONS set of politicians than those
who now control the Republican party.
There seems to be nothing they will not do
to gain their point. 1t has not been many
years since they carried Indiana by a
liberal distribution of 81 bills among the
floating voters, and two years ago. it will
be remembered, they colonized in West
Virginia a large number OF blacks who
voted the republican ticket, and through
their votes the Republican party came very
near carrying the state.
The latest colonization scheme is on
much larger scale than any which preceded
it and indicates that the republic an leaders
have large amount Of money with which
to influence the elections.
Where did they get the money? They
did not contribute it themselves, nor did
they get great deal of 1t from the Office
holders. 1t is evident that they have been
frying the fat" out Of the manufacturers
those manufacturers for whose benefit the
Mckinley bill was passed. 1t is now under
stood why Mr.. Quay was 50 anxious to have
the Mckinley bill passed last session. If
that bill became a law he knew that it
would not be difficult to induce the manu-
facturers to make large campaign contribu-
lions.
That Is certainly very unfortunate con-
ditlon OF affairs which permits the people
to be robbed in order that political party
may have the means to corrupt voters and
defeat the will of the people. The money
which the protected manufacturing monop-
olies and trusts subscribe so liberally to the
corruption fund, and which the republican
leaders distribute, comes from the pockets
of the people.
