To An Friends Of Political Reform.

To All Friends Of Political Reform.
The Peoples party has been formed
under the most favorable auspices, and
gives promise of an early emancipation
from the thraldom Of the money power
and other monopolists. But this emancl-
patton cannot be secured without special
and extraordinary effort, requiring large
outlay in the preparation Of documents,
arranging meetings and other Legitimate
and proper purposes. To this end every
earnest friend Of political and eco
n0mlc reform, and every reform organ
izatlOn, Is urged to contribute, at once,
and literally. Don't delay q moment.
Send the money now. Bring the matter
up in your organizations at once. A few
dollars contributed now, when the pre-
lmlnary work is to be done, may do
more good than hundreds Of dollars just
before the elections, when It Is too late
TO organize and agitate. Remit all con-
trlbutious to the secretary Of the national

OFFICIAL.

TO the brotherhood Of the National FGrmerS'
Alliance and Industrial Union:
II Is now apparent that the enemies OF
reform throughout the state are marshal
ing their forces for vigorous and deter
mined effort to weaken and destroy the
Alliance. Its future progress will be
stnbbornly contested and resisted, but
we will assuredly and gloriOusly triumph,
if we be cautious, prudent, faithful and
firm. The outlook for the success Of the
great reforms we advocate, was never 30
hopeful and encouraging as now. The
order throughout the whole country 10
daily rhtllng to Its numbers, and lt is In
finer spirit and Is more thoroughly united
than ever before. But the peculiar con-
dltlons confronting us demand the ut
most caution, lest we commit errors,
which might prove fatal to our cause.
The action of our State Alliances and of
the Supreme Council, In their forthcom-
ing annual meetings, will be universally
regarded with earnest interest, and the
character Of that action depends largely
on the wisdom Of the subordinate
bodies.
The sub Alliances are to select mem
bers as delegates to the county Alliances,
which are to choose delegates TO the
State Alliance, which, in turn, is to Sc
IeCt delegates to the Supreme Council.
In view Of the great and important
work to be done during the next Alliance
year, and which must necessarily be
largely directed by the state bodies and
the Supreme Council, the brotherhood Is
earnestly admonlShed to exercise great
care in selecting the men to whom must
be entrusted the responsibility Of guild
ing our course az an order.
Let those who are to legislate for US,
in the State Alliances and In the Su-
preme Council, be not only our Rblest
and wisest men, but let their loyalty to
our cause be without taint or tarnlsh.
Put none but true and faithful Alliance
men on guard in this hour Of our great
need, and all will be we'll.

A Simple Fire Extinguisher.

It is the opinion of experts that much
of the money which is spent by factories,
mills and stores on the introduction of
pipes and valves for fire extinction might
be saved by the adoption of a much SIM
pier and more efficient method. Both
sulphur and ammonia are we'll adapted
for extinguishing fire. Sulphur absorbs
oxygen and forms sulphuric acid, the
fumes of which are much heavier than
air. The quantity required would be
small, since seventy grammes of sulphur
can make one hundred cubic meters of
air inimical to combustion. An effective
sulphur extinguishing apparatus can be
made Of a large iron box of moderate
depth and open at the top.
1t should be hinged at one end Or side
to a protected ceiling, and kept close
thereto by a cord or wire connected with
a wire or strap formed chiefly of cad
MUM fusible at IA dogs. Fahrenheit.
Inside the box is placed a considerable
quantity of cotton wadding, well satur-
ated with powdered sulphur. On the
heat of an incipient fire melting the wire
or strip, the box drops a short distance;
by a simple device the cotton wadding
is ignited at the same moment, and a
strong cloud OF sulphurous acid gas is
instantly evolved, which extinguishes
the fire by rendering the air unfit for
combustion.-New York Telegram.

A Talk with a Bird Fancier.

Mocking birds come from Texas chief
ly. Albany in that state is the head
quarters for them. One trapper there
sends me from so to 100 hooking birds
every week in crates. | forward nearly
all of them to New York, exchanging
them for other stock. The system of ex-
change is carried on to a great extent in
the fancier's business. Most of the stock
that we get from boys is negotiated on
that plan; so many rabbits make a SPUR
rel, and so On.
l do a considerable trade in peacocks,
which customers who have country
places buy for ornamental purposes.
Farmers raise them in Maryland and
Virginia. Goldfish are propagated by
regular breeders in Maryland, Virginia
and Pennsylvania, who send them to me
in cans, but the fancy goldfish, with
double tails, are imported from Japan to
San Francisco and r~eshipped from that
city.
i. Those stuffed birds are pets. Their
owners bring them here for the purpose;
four legged beasts, too, Of all sorts. A
squirrel is one of the most difficult ami
mails to stuff successfully. Food is an
item in caring for such a menagerie as
this; it costs me nearly $1,000 a year.

Treatment of BOreS.

The redoubtable Samuel Parr proved
as great a bore to De Quincy as the dip
lomatist did to Coleridge. The opium
eater, sensitive little spirit that he was,
did not often put himself in the way of
being bored He was completely taken
by surprise, on his first meeting with
the scholar of prodigious fame, to find
him no better than a SANDER mongering
cold babbler."
Byron's method Of dealing with the
gentry was ven more ingenious than
SCOTS, who himself assumed the ardu-
GUS task of boring his bore. Byron used
to set Monk Lewis (whom he found
as great a bore as Scott did on to some
''vivacious person." who peculiarly alb
horred the tribe-as, for example, he
says, Nine. de Stael or Hobhouse-and
leave the pair to fight it out together.
while he quietly enjoyed his revenge.
But even this was more humane than
the conduct of those who, like Douglas
Jerrold, leave their bore in the lurch.
"Well, what's going on today?" asked
the bore, full primed for a siege. 81

.sRrat Surh Iacki''

Ridicule it as we may, there is some
thing in luck, and if there isn't you can
not break the faith Of some people. The
other day a young English friend OF
mine picked up a two and a half cent
Columbian silver coin-probably the
smallest silver piece in the world.
"That's luck" said the young man,
who has an English syndicate deal on
his hands. He felt moro confidence in
the coin as the day advanced, for he
showed it to several friends, all of whom
curiously examined the piece and smiled
with its possessor. He finally went joy
fully home late for dinner, and found his
wife fretting and with red eyes. He be-
gan to cheer her up by pleasantly begin
ming the topic Of his afternoon and ex-
hibiting his find.
"Luckl Luck! Don't you talk to me
about lucki" she fairly shrieked, plung-
ing into the sofa cushions and mysteries.
In the course of half an hours hard
work she had recovered sufficiently to
inform him that she had her pocket
picked while out shopping and lost a dia-
mond ring she had been afraid to wear
and all the money given her that morn
ing for her summer clothes. Finally she
braced up all at once and said impera-
lively:
Gimme that coin!" AS she pitched
it out of the window she uttered the
usual feminine oath, "Drat the thing,
therel'' and both she and her husband
felt better.-New York Herald.

simply a recorder and not an arbiter in
such matters, l am not prepared to say

GINNING Siberian Natives.

When compelled to travel all night,
the Siberian natives always make a prac-
tice of stopping just before sunrise and
allowing their dogs to go to sleep. They
argue that if the dog goes to sleep while
it is yet dark and wakes up in an hour
and finds the sun shining, he will suppose
that he has had a full nights rest, and will
travel all day without thinking Of being
tired. One or even two hours stop at
any other time is perfectly useless, as
the dogs will be uncomfortable from
that time forward until they are per-
mitted to take what they think full al
lowance of sleep.-St. Louis Republic.

Strawberries.

Why are they called STRAW berries?
Smart men differ on that. Some say it
is on account of their hollow, strawlike
stems. Others think it is because they
have to be covered with straw or similar
