Puss Made a Mistake.
(From the Boston Pilot" y

One of our household pets. a green
heron, confined by a long cord to tree
IN the yard, speat much time by dav
standing upon one leg, his shoulders
hunched up, as though asleep-a most
stupid-looking fowl. Fristen the cat
was much struck by his singular ap-
pearance, and watched him furtiveiy
for a week or so before venturing
nearer. She was puzzled how to
classify the newcomer. A capture did
not look difficult, as he did not fly away
when she approached. So one day
she sided closer.
"PlunkeRs" eyes slightly opened,
but he moved not feather. Puss
crouched. and advanced step.
Still there was no motion. Nearer
she crept, her tail beginning to twltch
and her hind legs working for spring,
when, loud "Quawk!' wings out
spread and tapping, and long bill
stretched wide, the drowsy bird was
transformed into an avenging fury.
He sprang at puss, and she fed up a
tree in fash.
She decided that she must have been
mistaken.

has caused a thrill throughout India.
and everywhere educated Hindus are
joining in a demand for the repeal of
the barbarous law which permits such
outrages.
Hindu members of the Bombay Leg

prominent Hindus OF Bombay, Madras,
and Poona. have presented a petition
TO the Niceroy begging His Excellency
to raise the age of protection from ten
to twelve years. They pledged them
selves to influence their own families
and friends to fix fourteen as the age.
AS a result. the Indian Government
has made twelve years the legal age,
but refuses to interfere further with the
existing laws. This does not prevent
chlld-marriage, even in infancy, but
forbids the contamination of marriage
before the age of twelve; giving girls
under that age the same protection
against their husbands that they have
elsewhere against strangers. - Tie

THE THINGS IT DOES.

The New York World quotes
Secretary Foster as saying that,
The Republican party is the party
that does things" and adds: 1t
does, indeed-but such things!
The republican party squandered
a surplus of S1,000,000,000, and in
creased the war taxes after twenty
five years of peace.
Its Congress spent billion dol
lars IN two years.
1t stole twenty seats in the last
House of Representatives, suppressed
freedom of debate and substituted
the arbitrary rule OF the speaker
for constitutional and parliamentary
methods of procedure.
1t came into power protesting its
devotion to Civil-Service Reform,
and made clean sweep of the Off
ces in a briefer time than any other
spoils Administration in the history
of the government.
1t made market for the entire
produce OF the bonanza silver mines,
inflated the paper currency at the
rate of S60,000,000 year, and yet
pirates of the danger from silver and
boasts of its devotion to ''honest
money"
1t has made reciprocity treaties
extending the market of protected
American monopolies by inducing
foreign nations to untax themselves,
without making cheaper one article
for American consumers.
It did" New York out of the
Worlds Fair, and defrauded it in a
bogus census, as penalty for being
a democratic city.
OH yes-the republican party
does things"

COTTON Seed AND OIL.

The last issue of the Chattanooga
Tradesman was largely devoted to
cotton seed and their uses, and the
the rapid development in the manu-.
facture of cotton seed oil. Through
out the ages in which the praises OF
the olive tree has taken precedence
over all others for its usefulness, be-
coming a well nigh sacred emblem
of peace, and being chosen by the re-
turning dove to Noah's ark to give
courage and hope to the survivors
of the flood, cotton was grown all
this time but had to take back seat
for the olive but not SO any longer,
and the most brilliant predictions
are made for the future of the seed.
The three prime necessities Of the
human race are: Food, clothes and
shelter.
Towards supplying these, the olive
tree furnishes its fruit and oil for
foog, and in a very limited extent its
wood for construction.
The cotton plant now supplies
lint from which clothing. for the
body, the bed and household (car-
pets are made. 1t supplies oil for
cooking purposes, and for many in
dustrial uses-for use in lamps in
mines, for fabrication in cutting
threads on pipes and bolts, tor max
ing soap, glycerine, candles, butter,
lard and innumberable other uses.
The cotton seed meal is used for
supplying ammonia and other con-
stitutents in commercial fertilizers.
for food for cattle and diaries. for
fattening beef, sheep and for var
ious other purposes. Lately, how
ever, it is being very largely used as
food for cattle and sheep. This is
especially the case at dairy farms,
where cattle are being fatted for
beef, and at saw mills, where oxen
are used to haul logs.
There seems, indeed, to be no
limit to its possibilities, and the uses
to which it can be put; and the crop
is large enough to supply the world
with all the vegetable oil it may
need. Two thirds of the crop is seed.
AS picked in the field, there are 900
pounds of seed to 400 of lint, max
ing the seed crop of last year nearly
four and quarter million tons. By
the destruction and waste of the
seed which went on for so many
years some of the level lands in the
South were ruined and impoverish-
ed, for nothing destroys the ele-
ments of fertility in a soil more
rapidly than the removal of the
seed If it is returned to the land
particularly in the right form, as
fertilizer made from the meal, cot
ton can be cultivated indefinitely,
but if this is not done, the most
productive lands soon become worn.
There are to-day millions of acres
of such lands in the South, and it is
noticeable that the low lands of
Georgia, made barren by excessive
cultivation of cotton, are being
brought into use again and are prov
ing wonderfully prolific under the
and with the aid of cot
lon seed fertilizers.

filed with poisonous germ matter is like
water on the forked tongues of a flaming
fire. 1t subdues the evil instantly, even
when other medicines have failed. Again,
Bulls Ssrsaparilla is frequently used after
the system has become poisoned by the
use of mercury and potash. 1t quickly
eliminates these mineral poisons from the
system, thus preventing and curing mer-
curial rheumatism, potash sores, etc. In
sll syphilitic and Scrofulous affections,
Bulls Sarsaparilla is a true panacea. The
aequele Of blood poison, such as salt
rheum, eczema, kings evil, sosld head,
boils, carbuncles, itch, sores, rheumatism,
neuralgia, etc, all permanently disappear

An EXCHANGE truthtully says !:
1.-THE hardest people on earth for an
editor to please are those who bor-
row the paper from some of his sub
scribers. They don't like the paper,
don't like the editor, they don't per-
haps even like the town in which it
is published. All the same they
borrow it every day from some sub
scriber, sometimes before he has
read it himself, and take it home. If
one of those who thus habitually
sponge on their neighbors should
see this, and they are dead certain
to do so, we would remind them
that the better way would be to
take the paper, and then you would
have some room to kick if the paper
did not suit you. You would have
the satisfaction of knowing that you
could at any time paralyze the edi-
tor and the whole concern by order
ing your paper stopped"
