Third Party.
CHICAGO, June l6.-A special FROM
Topeka, Kan, says that the returns re-
ceived by the Alliance executive COM
mittee from the sub-alliances, which
were asked to pass judgment on the
work done by the Cincinnati conven-
ton, are far from encouraging to the
Peoples party politicians. 1t is known
that twenty-five sub Alliances have re-
pudiated the third party movement.
Fifteen of these have reported to the
state Alliance and ten to the Republican
state central committee. The Cloud
county Alliance has adopted the follow
ing resolution: Whereas, the South
was not represented in the Cincinnati
convention, and, whereas, we believe
the third party will disrupt the Repub-
lican party to the benefit Of the Demo
cratic party, therefore, be it resolved,
that rye abandon the third party to re-
turn to our past affiliation. ;" These

The Historic Nile.

The Nile is remarkably different stream now from what it was in the days of the ancient Pharaohs. Its waters are still wanted for making the land of Egypt fertile each year, but they can no longer be depended upon at least not to the extent desired, During three months of the twelve the river does not flow into the Mediter- ranean at all, and the department of public works is engaged on the ques- tion of storage reservoirs which will hold back some of the surplus water at flood time and let it out more leisurely as needed by the agriculturist. But Q survey shows it to be impracticable to store water north of the first cataract and the government design for build ing a dam at Philoe at a cost of $3, 640, coo would only give one third of the water wanted. while it would involve the submergence of the ruins at that point.

 With lordliest labor work that work sublime, Order our planet with benignest sway. So work, great spirit! Thy tolls foregone each

Winsted, Conn.,, June 12, 1891. MrF. B. Catlin, Dear Sir;
 Having ridden the American Light Ram blero for nearly two seasons, have had ann pie opportunity to observe all the qualities of the wheel, both good and bad. In the former the machine abounds, but the latter are as scarce as hens teeth. The fact that l have not expended one cent for rep airs on my Rambler" since bought it, is in itselfa good recommend for it to anyone Among the good qualities which found in the "Rambler" are these Brightness, great strength and stability, ease of Steering, especially hands off) and above all, the solid comfort person can en- joy on the machine owing to the excellent spring frame. There is nothing on the mar ket, in my mind, which can hold a candle to this spring frame for all around, every day riding. It IS emphatically the best wheel for ladies, because there is not the slightest jar or vibration felt on the saddle. If was going to buy another wheel, it would be the .sAm- erican Light Rambler and if another wheel was not to be had nothing would tempt me to part with the wheel now have.
 Yours respectfully,
 Geo. B Woodruff, Local Consul LAW
 Ifyou are going to buy good wheel, buy the best. We know we have it, This letter talks that way too. Send for our catalogues. We have wheels at nearly all prices.

 A Spider Barometer.
 One of the simplest and at the same time one of the best barometers is the common garden spider. When there is prospect of rain or wind the spider always shortens the stays or filaments from which his web is suspended, and leaves things in that state as long as the weather is variable. If the insect elongates his threads it is a sign of fine, calm weather, the duration of which may be judged by the length of the webs If the spider remains inactive it is sign of rain; but if, on the contra ry, it keeps at work during a shower the rain will be of short duration, fol lowed by fine weather.
 Other observations have taught nat uralists that the spider makes changes in it's web every twenty y-four hours, and that if such changes are made in the evening, just before sunset, the night will be clear and beautiful, and the thoughtful spider will stand fair chance of getting some tender night flying insect for his breakfast, the re- pairs of the spiders net being made with that point in view.-St Louis Republic.
