The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle dem
says editorially: eff we wish to elect
the president in 1892 we must abandon
all ideas of free trade and extravagant
notions of government aid in the shape
of money on crops or on land That is
not the business of the government.
This advice is first class, teeming with
sound doctrine, but even with such
ideas the Democratic party cannot hope
to succeed The people have no conf
dence in its leaders.

Pertinent Questions.

The Inter Ocean publishes schedule
of questions to be asked of Democratic
speakers in Ohio and Iowa during the
present campaign in those states. They
might be asked of Democratic speakers
and Democratic newspapers elsewhere
They are rs follows:
Where are those "higher prices or
account of the tariff" which your party
predicted so constantly during the cam
paign of 1890?
Where is that increase of agricultu
raj distress that your party predicted
What do you think of reciprosity
anyhow?
If every one of the predictions made
by your party in 1890 has proven false
haven't you good deal of nerve when
you ask us to pin our faith to new set
of predictions made by it9
Why is it that all your newspapers
and all your speakers are brimful of Joy
whenever there is prospect of high
prices, low wages, short crops, or any
other disaster?
Why is 1t that your party never re-
joices when the people are prosperous
Why is il that your party never en-
courages home industryY
Why is IL that your party sides with
alien priests against the school system
in Wisconsin, sides with former slave
holders against a free ballot in the
South, everywhere sides with the worst
part of the saloon interest against all
restrictions upon the sale of intoxi-
cants?

One hundred thousand soldiers gath
cred from the regular army and nation
al guard would make an effective fea-
ture of the Worlds Fair, so Gen. Miles
thinks. The General has suggested
such a display in a letter to President
Thomas w. Palmer, outlining the dis
tinguished soldiers views on the exposi.
ton. Gen. Miles would have the
Worlds Fair illustrate the develope.
ment of the country from the geological
era, dividing the displays historically
into four periods. The military feature
is suggested in addition to this general
historical exhibit, and, Gen. Miles
thinks, would be peculiarly appropriate
as demonstrating the strength of the
Nations citizen soldiery 1t would
gather together members of the nation
al guard from various states, upbuild a
national patriotic spirit, and unite the
organizations of different states in q
spirit of fraternity. Aside from the
good results thus obtained, the officers
and troops would want to come to the
Fair anyway, and most of them would
prefer to come in such mobilization
as suggested.

Secretar of War Proctor on July 3D.
signed an order abolishing the three
great military divisions of the United
States. These were the Atlantic, the
Pacific and the Missouri, commanded
respectively by Generals Howard,
Ruger and Miles. The purpose is to
make the department commanders re-
port directly to Maj. Gen. Schotield,
commanding the army, and the secre-
tary of war, instead of, as heretofore,
reporting to their division commanders.
Maj Gen. Nelson A. Miles is assigned
to the command of the department of

A curious case of special interest to
elderly spinsters and lovers of house pets
is shortly to come before the Berlin
courts, A young woman was engaged as
companion to an old lady at stated wages,
but ran away from her place two days
after entering service.
Her mistress procured her arrest under
the law that a servant must give due no
tice before leaving her situation, but the
police, after hearing the girls statement,
told the lady that she could not compel
the girl TO return, and could only claim
damages in the civil court.
For the girl stated, and her statements
have been proved true, that on entering
the lady's fiat four immense dogs jump,
ed at her, although they did not do her
any harm. In the next room another
big dog, with a litter Of pups, met her
gaze, while the third room was tenanted
by at least three dozen different varieties
of birds.
The kitchen of the old lady was given
over to cats, and the girls sleeping room
was converted into a temporary hospital
for invalid members of the animal world.

very kind to me, but as my duties con-
sisted in washing all the dogs daily, and

AN ANCIENT FARM HOUSE.
What the French HosteIries Were LIKE
During the MIddIe Ages

During the Middle Ages
The houses of the farmers and the
country people differed then as now, ac-
cording to their rank and prosperity,
and also according to the district they
inhabited. The yeoman farmer, and
even the well to do husbandman, dwelt
in n solid house of brick or stone, tiled
or slated, with a paved yard separating
it from the barn and o~uthouses, the dali
ny and cattle pens. The farm house
which in England was always construct
ed with a southern aspect-as invariably
faced the east in AquitaIne, while to the
rear well open TO the west was a long
tiled veranda, where in winter after
the hemp picking, the wool card
ing, etc, were done.
Within the vast kitchen glowed in the
light of the fire-almost as un~extinguish-
able as the vestal virgin's-peat, coal and
wood were each a~bundantly employed,
and for a trifiing rent, generally paid in
kind, the lord of tire manor would per-
init the farmers on his land to cut their
turfs from his bog or their boughs from
his forest. Fuel was not only actually
but relatively cheaper in the middle
ages than today, for the boys were not
drained in those days, the forest covered
great expanses, and the cost of carriage
made it almost impossible to transport
their produce. In almost every shire of
France and England the supply Of fuel
was in excess of the demand.
This hospitable fire hared up a Chin
ney proportional to its size, lighting the
huge brick oven, the iron iredogs, the
bellows, shovel, gridiron, ladies, cal
drons, saucepans, mortar, tin pals and
other utensils that stood on the brackets
Of the hearth, and -irradiating the brass
and copper pots, the metal candlesticks,
the lamp, the lantern, the not unfrequent
silver beaker, and the glass drinking
cups that were ranged on the chests and
cupbCards round the walls. Near this
fire stood a high backed settle, the mas
ter's corner, and under the great mantle
of the chimney narrower benches were
set in the brick.
Within easy reach of the hearth deep
oak chest held the logs for burning. It
was generally matched by a handsome
wedding chest with carved or painted
front, long enough to contain a grown
person full length, but more usually filed,
it must be admitted with the best clothes,
the trinkets n the savings of the house
hold- Inc registers OF the chatelet record
no crime so common as the breaking open
of such wedding chests; and it is surpris-
ing how many clasps of jewels. girdles
of pearls, golden headdresses and rings,
and purses full of gold were stolen from
quite humble households. Our fore
fathers invested their capital in cups
or trinkets of precious metal, pretty to
look at, easy to hide, and readily con-
yerted into cash when necessity demand
