Moderation in Fi.hinr.

1t may be as well once again % remind
readers of the necessity for moderation
in fishing. Several records of catches
glanced over lately show far too many
fish killed for the fishermen 10 honestly
lay claim 10 the title of true sportsmen.
Season after season the old disgusting
story of the wanton destruction OF our
game fish is told, while alleged gentle
men anglers and sportsmen keep on de-
stroying fish recklessly, as though they
imagined the supply 10 be inezhaustible.
/ do not mean to suggest that all anglers
are alike guilty. There are plenty OF
men who know how to kin FISH in sea-
son, and who know enough TO cease cast
ing when they have enjoyed reasonable
amount Of sport.
But there are others who appear 10
measure their pleasure by the number Of
fish killed, and who think more OF being
thigh hook" than Of genuine sportsman
ship, and SO they take fish as long Ms flsa
will rise, though they know that half the
victims viii never DO used The man
who will kill trout or bass and throw
it away 20 rot among the bushes Is no
more a true sportsman than Is the man
who uses dynamite instead OF the legiti-
mate tackle.-Ouuug.

Edison's First Marriage.

The story of Edison's first marriage
shows how completely he is dominated
by the experimenting fever. He had
never thought of getting married, but
when some of his friends urged upon
him the advisability of taking wife he
assented and said that if they would find
nice girl he would marry her. He
finally picked out a pleasant faced girl
from his factory and asked her to marry
him. She consented, and Edison agreed
to leave his beloved laboratory for a
days wedding trip, On the way from
the chapel in which they were married
to the railway station the carriage passed
the laboratory.
The temptation was too much. Edi-
son stopped the carriage and, telling the
bride that he would follow her to the
station in time to catch the train, he
plunged into some experiment that had
occurred to him during the church ser
vices. Hour after hour passed. The
poor bride waited all the afternoon in
the station and was then driven back to
the house. 1t was II o'clock at night
before his assistants could tear Edison
away from his laboratory and get him
nome.
When he is at work Edison loses all
count of time He will keep the whole
establishment on a rush for hours at
stretch, and seems astonished when any
one hints that it might be well to get
something to eat. He is capable Of work
ing all day and night without showing
atigue.-Chicago Journal

Speed and Form in Ships

The primary condition for high speed
is fineness of form, so that the water az
the bow of the vessel may be separated
and thrown to one side and brought to
rest again at the stern and behind the
vessel with the least possible disturb
ance, and the measure Of efficiency Of
form for the maximum speed intended
is inverseIy at the height of the waves
Of disturbance.
\ ship that has been designed to attain
a speed of fifteen knots viii, when NOV
ing at twelve knots, show very slight
disturbance indeed, and in one designed
for eighteen knots, when moving at this
lower speed, it viii be scarcely obserTa-
bic; but however fine the lines Of ship
may be, she must a5 every speed pro-
duce some disturbance, although it may
be very slight, as the water displaced By
her must be raised above the normal
level and replaced at the normal level;
hence, at or near the bow OF a ship there
is always the crest Of a wave, and at or
near the stern the hollow OF one.
When a vessel Is going at its maximum
speed, and Is properly designed for that
speed. the wave should not De very high,
nor should il extend beyond the in
mediate neigh5orhood Of the bow; ike
wise the wave Of replacement should be
the same az or near the stern OF ship,
and the wake" OF disturbance OF water
left behind IN the track OF the ship
should be narrow.-A L Seatoa In

the Ocala platform and denounced the.
last Democratic convention as a fraud.
and the governor as an accident. He
called on the Alliance to adopt that as
their slogan and ~repudiate the wrong.
In his speech President Albums went
for Senator Morgan, who called the sub
treasury a fraud and yet advocated an.
appropriation of 500, 00O, 600 for the Mic
aragua canal. He declared that he
would put his right arm in the fire and
keep it there till it burned off to the
shoulder before he would ever vote for
Morgan or vote for any man who would.
A feature which created enthusiasm
was a procession Of 5000 Alliance men,

The people Of south Carolina are
awake to the real situation. At the Al
lance state convention there the other
day, . number Of the leading Democrats
from different parts Of the state were on.
hand to take in the situation and to do
what they could to repress the growing
sentiment in favor Of the organization
OF the Peoples partyin this state. They
found two-thirds Of the delegates in
favor Of the organization Of the third
party. The reason given for this position
is that electing Republicans and Demo
Gratis who are pledged to the demand of
the Alliance does no good because thess
members of congress are controlled by
the caucuses Of their party, and no indie.
pendent political action can be had of
the men who are elected to congress as
the nominees Of either party.
.
This Independent spirit in the south is
nowhere stronger than in Georgia.
There has been a wonderful change in
sentiment in the Alliance ranks in that
state within even a few weeks. No
where is the order 80 well organized, 80
harmonious and such an irresistible po-
litical power. President Livingston -
a wonderful leader Of men, and it be-
comes more and more apparent that he
is destined to become one Of the most
striking figures in contemporaneous his
tory. It is well known that he believes
in acting through existing political Or
carnations il it is possible to gain po-
litical reforms in that way. If not, he is
as strong a third party man as any in
the country. He has not yet declared in
favor of Independent political action in
national affairs. His people are ready
for it. The moment it becomes clear to
him that the great reforms which the
people demand are not to be gained
through old channels, he will lead his
great state in a mighty phalanx against
the common enemy. Then will be seen
the breaking once and forever Of the
solid south. The day is coming. and it
is not far off, when Democratic rule in
the south will become as unstable as Re-
publican rule in Kansas or Massachu-
sets. Mark the prediction, Georgia
will be proportionately a stronger Peo-
pies party state than Kansas itself.
The responses to the appeal Of the
national committee of the Peoples party
convention have been both numerous and
enthusiastic. They have come from
north, south. east and west. In every
corner of the land the independent spirit
is working. It is the great popular
movement Of the age, as the politicians
will find out when the people get a
chance to express their sentiments.

They Forgot the Bride.


A curious incident happened at q
church wedding in Utica the other
evening. It vas a society affair. and
at 8 o'clock, the hour appointed for
the ceremony, the church was crowded
with guests. The minister who was
to oficiate was there, also the groom,
ushers and bridesmaids, but the bride
was not
Ten minutes after s-twenty min
utes after s, still no bride appeared
The people in the church were grow
ing impatient. Half-past 8, and sill
nj bride! The groom was very anx-
ious. Had her courage failed her at
the last momentp Had she ceased to
love him and eloped with another
man? Had her house burned and she
persisted in the flames? Had the car.
riage broken down and injured her?
These were some of the questions
that ran through his mind. leaving
their impress on his face. Eight
thirty-fve! The bridesmaids bit their
lips, tugged %nervously at their ribbons
and unconsciously despoiled their bou-
quets. Was she not coming? Vague
rumors ran through the audience an6
the minister himself, used 10 all sort:
of curious things at weddings, begar
to wonder at the absence of the bride
A council of war was held and i
was decided to send another carriage
after her post haste. Another! Wher
the facts became known no carriage
at all had been sent for her! During
all this time the drivers supposed thai
the ceremony had been in progress.
In the excitement the principal facto,
had been forgotten.
1t is needless to say that no time
was lost in transporting the bride tx
the altar, and at S:45 three quarters o.
an hour late, the nuptial knot vas tied
and the belated bride and the happy
groom went on their way rejoicing.

GOOD U G

DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder is often called the
Good-Luck Baking Powder.
Owing to the fact that good luck always attends the
use of DR.. Prices, it is not essential to use it the moment
it is mixed nor is it required to have the oven always just
50, as in the case with ammonia or alum powders. 1t is not
luck after all, but the exact accuracy and care exercised in
the preparation and combination of all the ingredients of
DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder. Competent chemists
are employed to test the strength and purity of each
ingredient. Nothing is trusted to chance. Hence; it is
always uniform in its work.
House wives never fail to have "good luck" in max
ing most delicious bread, biscuit, pastry and cakes that
remain moist and sweet. Only Baking Powder that con.
tains the white of eggs.
DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder is re-
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
Alum, or any. ether adulterant. In fact, the
purity Of this ideal powder has never been ques-
toned.

The Louisiana state Alliance is solid
for the Ocala platform. At the meeting
held last week this platform was adopted
without a Dissenting voice. When the
time came for the election of delegates
to the supreme council, the men who
were elected were first called up and
asked about their views on the Ocala
demands. Being found to favor the de-
mands unreseryedly, they were then
asked if they would be found in the
union ranks if the conference of Feb
ruary, 1892, called for independent &C.
ton. They said they would, and after
these assurances they were elected. The
Alliance adopted a resolution denounc-
ing Hall and McAllister as traitors and
asking their retirement from Alliance
ranks. Most of the old state officers
were reelected. President T. S. Adams,
Of the state Alliance, was Endorsed for
governor, and the chances for his cleo
ton are very good. The Alliance reports
constantandsteady growth, with no dis
affection.
