The history of the world has been
largely filed with narration of con-
6dence tricks-moral, social and po-
litical. Every country, every COM
munity, indeed every family has some
experience of the practice in one shape
or another, and as long as there is a
desire In man or woman to get some
thing for nothing confidence tricks can
never cease. They appeal SO directly
to the weakest side of the human
character that SO long as there are
knaves to dupe there will be fellows
willing to be duped, for the trick,
wherever performed, has always the
same features Of simplicity a. regards
he mode Of procedure on the one side
and the amiable acquiescence displayed
On the other.

WENDELL PHILLIPS is reported to
have said that there is no education as
valuable as that which is attained by
earning ones own living. There is a
sense in which this is true, although it
is truth which is rapidly becoming
an anachrOnism. 1t Is much better to
be industrious and persevering in toll
than to be an idle vagrant. it is better
to be an honest worker than to be a
sybarite or vOluptuary; it is better to
fill days with hard labor than with
dissipation or senseless indulgence; but
the new civilization into which we are
already entering offers possibilities be-
yond either Of these alternatives. The
first requisite toward compromising
the higher possibilities of relief from
earning a living is to distinguish be-
tween leisure and idleness. The form
er is fine and infinitely desirable; the
latter is more or less deteriorating in
its influence.

The 'yOung man from the country"
who comes up to the city to see and to
be seen is not the only one who prides
himself on his perception or who fails
for the simple reason that he overrates
his own acuteness and undertakes the
ability of his opponents. Time and
again the sharpest men in town have
been taken in when, defiantly and with
their eyes open, they pltted their
fancied intelligence against confidence
professors. They have seen so many
people swindled that they are deter
mined they will for once be an ex-
ception; they have studied it all and
know just how it is done; they are
sharp enough to detect the confed-
crates and to avoid all deception. But
they forget how unequal is the contest,
how marvelously we'll all these cleve,
scoundrels can Judge character and
play upon natural vanities. and in the
end they find themselves with empty
pockets.

THERE can be no doubt that one OF
the greatest dangers to our institutions,
one of the greatest obstacles to the
realization of good government, is that
singular indifference which keeps
away from the polls a large proportion
Of the voting population, even when
the most important issues are at stake.
1t has been proved repeatedly that not
even self-interest, not even the
question OF high or low taxes, ID
sufficient to bring out full vote. The
moral argument in favor of compulsory
voting is strong one. Those who
object to the plan have done so mainly
on the untenable ground that to cast a
ballot is not an abstract and absolute
duty of the citizen. This is not true
There is NO public duty which is mer<
imperative than that of voting. There
Is none that can take precedence of it
and there is nothing that can exous
the citizen for neglecting it.

Curing a Blind Giant.

Calcutta is a fine, large city on the
lived there tells strange but true
story of how doctor cured the biggest
patient he ever had. The patient was
a huge elephant, who for long time
had suffered from disease in his eyes,
which at last got SO bad that he could
not see.
His owner, an English officer, went
to DR.. Webb and begged him to come
and see what could be done. He did,
and after looking carefully at the giant
creature, the doctor said:
THE best cure that l know of is
nitrate of silver; but it will give a
good deal of pain"
Well, the owner said he had better
try. and if the animal would not allow
it he must give it up. But-would you
believe 1.-THE elephant like most of
his race. was just as wise as he was
big. found so much relief from his first
days doctoring that when DR.. Webb
visited him the next day he lay down
Of his own accord, placed his great
heavy head on one side, curled up his
trunk, and then, just as you or I might
If We were going to bear some dread

perfectly still. The healing mixture
was dropped into each eye, and when
the sharp, short pain was gone he

all the better for it," When he got up

SOLID MILK,
A Beautiful New Substance from Lacte al
Fluid.

FIul0s
The first food OF man" has been
put to many uses, and converted into
many forms by human ingenuity. but
its latest application is perhaps the
most remarkable. An inventor has
just taken out patent to protect
substitute for bone or celluloid. and
the material which is to substitute these
substances is produced from milk.
Casein-the solids in milk-are in tho
first place reduced to partly gelatin
GUS condition by means of borax or
ammonia, and then it is mixed with
mineral salt dissolved in acid or water,
which liquid is subsequently evaporat-
ed. The method of procedure is to
place the casein in suitable vessel
and incorporate under heat the borax
with it, the proportions being ten kilo-
grams of casein to three Kilograms OF
bOrax, dissolved in six litres of water
When the casein becomes changed in
appearance the water is drawn of,
and to the residue, while still OF
the consistency of melted gelatine, one
kilogram of mineral SALT held in solu-
ton of three litres of water, is added.
Almost any of the salts of iron, lead,
tin, zinc, copper or other minerals
which are soluble in acid may be used.
When the mixture is effected the solid
matter will be found separated from the
greater portion Of the acid and water
i and is then drawn off. Next the solid
matter is first subjected to great
pressure to drive out all possible
moisture, and then to evaporation
under great heat to remove any re-
naming moisture. The resulting pro-
duct is called '.lactites," and can be
moulded into any desired form. BY
the admixture of pigments or dyes any
color may be impaired to it, but the
creamy white color natural to the SUBJ
stance is the most beautiful, being q
very close imitation of ivory. Combs.
billiard balls, brush backs, knife ham
dies and all other articles for which
ivory, bone, or celluloid are employed,
can be made of this new product OF
! milk

WIDOW sPiLKIN's DAUGHTER.
The young folks are having

The young folks are having
The jolliest sort OF time,
And Mary Annals laughter
Sounds like q silvery caime,
As she sends the hgnum vite
A-whirling through the wires,
Or Knocks VIII Aiker ball away,
Clear out among the briers.
And 1t somehow sets the thinking
How used to carry water
For the Widow Spilkin daughter.
Those were happy days to us.
Though we didn't play croquet,
We'd never heard of such a game,
But spanked the good cd way.
The ladies dressed in plain homeslun.
Without bang or hustle;
They warn't afraid to look at you,
And gloried in tussel.
But the most enjoy bic thing to me
Was when carried water
From the spring O. Sunday evenings
For the Widow Spilkin's daughter.
Things have changed amazing sight
In these forty years or more,
With the telegraph and monograph,
And iron wagon roar.
But amt a-gOin' to grumble,
For think the change Is right,
And the world is rushing swiftly
Out of darkness into light,
But, somehow, l love recalling
How / used to carry water
From the spring O. Sunday evenings,
For the Widow Spilkin's daughter.
Yonder is an aged woman
Walking out among the bowers,
Where a glory falls about her
AS she plucks the brightest flowers.
And she looks as sweet and pretty
AS she did so long ago,
Ere the frosts of many winters
Crowned her lovely brow with snow.
Yes, to me she is as pretty
AS when carried water
From the spring O. Sunday evenings,
For the Widow Spilkin daughter.
So think I'll drop my musings
And join her in the shade;
I'll play the bashful lover,
She shall play the blushing maid.
For know her cheek will crimson,
And her eyes will brighter grow
When slip my arm around her,
AS used TO long ago.
And--since / have thought about it
believe I'll fetch some water
From the spring this Sunday evening
For the Widow Spilkin's daughter.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.

ERASTUS WIMAN has the zeal of a
specialist in the advocacy of reciprocity
with Canada, but his study of the sub
ject gives value to his statements. In
the North American Review for this
month he examines the question as to
the effect of a Liberal victory in the
Canandian elections. The Liberal party
is uneqdiyocally committed to reciproc-
ity of the broadcast kind. 1t would have
the exchange of products and manu-.
factured articles as unyeXed by GUS
toms officials as on the lines between
the states. This would afford this coun-
try the chief advantages without the
perpleXitieS and Earrings that absorption
into the Union would cause. This IS the
reciprocity that the Northwest has its
la rgest interest in. Mr.. WIMAN, in his
article, says:
The consequences of this obliteration OF the
commercial barrier will be that the area of
the trade of the United States could be
doubled; while, inasmuch as an enormous
development would follow in Canada from
tho open market which would thus be afford
ed in this country, the volume of trade would
increase in the same manner, with the same
rapidity, and with the same profit as 1t in
creased with the opening of the Western
states. twill rest largely with the Ameri-
cans themselves to share in the profits of
this Development as they already are largely
in the individual possession of lands, timber
limits. and mineral locations in Canada
Mr.. WIMAN is hopeful that this rec
iprocity will be obtained at no very dis
tant period, but if it depends upon the
success of the Liberal party in carrying
the elections in Canada, there is not
much in the figures of the voting not
long since to induce hopefulness. 1t
has been understood that the Conserva-
tiyes gained largely. Still, if the Lib
erals are earnest and aggressive in their
union policy. its manifest advantages to
both countries should give growing
strength.
