A sensible view of the Seat Question.

Sensible View of the Seat Question.
The question of relinquishing seats to
women in the public conveyanoes is,
like the poor. always with us. Said a
man recently discussing is: ''There is
just this point which l have come to
realize; either l must make up my mind
never to have seat in car, or must
decide never to give it up. l go and
come to my place of business at the
hours when almost everybody else does;
the cars are invariably crowded and
there are always women standing to
whom it is possible to offer my place, if
get one. Such being the case, it is
also possible for me to stand the year
through. cannot see that this sacrifice
is demanded by the conditions.
81 am ready to give up my seat at any
time to any person, woman or man,
whose manner or appearance indicates
less ability to stand than / possess, but /
am not willing to resign it every time l
find a woman standing. We are fellow
travellers in a conveyance in which the
supply of seats will never, until the
millennium, equal the demand; today |
am fortunate, tomorrow she will be,
and think most women prefer to &C
cept this proportion of success rather
than to have seats continually resigned
to them. At least my womankind have
so expressed themselves to me on the
subject. New York Times.

What Buttons Are Made OF.

Do You know of what material the
buttons on your coat are made?
Well, perhaps if you did you would
never recognize it in the raw, fori in four
cases out of five it is material vulgarly
known as vegetable ivory. To the trade
it is the ivory nut. Down on the pier Of
the Pacific Mail Steamship company
will be seen long rows of sacks made Of
jute, which bear the appearance exter-
nally of being filled with potatoes.
These are stacked at the head Of the pier
in the open air. There is no danger of
them being carried away, for they are
as heavy as lead, and not extremely val
uahte, as they are. Potatoes would not
remain in that exposed position un-
touched for single night. The ivory
nut, however, is valuable only when it
comes from the hands of the manufac-
turer in the button or the ornamental
state.-New York Telegram.

Muffs are making their appearance in

The following, from Good Housekeeping,
is to be said to the little feet, each in turn,
beginning with the right foot:
Two white ponies are Trot and Canter,
Caper and Frisk, two ponies more
Every morning they all come prancing,
Gayly enter my open door,
While Il c9achman, in livery white as snow,
Tells all the ponies the way to go.
Nightfall comes and the four white ponies
No Longer prance on the nursery floor;
Caper and Frisk, and Trot and Canter
Are swift as the rushing wind, no more;
While the drowsy coachman mods on his seat,
And can't find the way to Bedford street!

stroy not only cattle and horses, but men.
The wolf is a very widespread animal, with
slight variations in color and size; it ex-
tends from the east of Asia, through India
and Europe. to North America, having in
all these countries the same ferocious char
acter, killing-especially in the cold season,
when much pressed by hunger-men, wom-
en-, children, cattle and sheep; but the wolf
taken young becomes perfectly tame, is at
tached to it's master, learns to live with
dogs and acquires from them the habit Of
barking, which is entirely unknown to it
in the wild state.
Even when taken older wolves may be
tanned, and our engravings show the per-
formances of a pack which have recently
been exhibited in London. Each of these
animals, as may be seen, knows its own
kennel, and takes to it at command. They
climb stairs at the order of the keeper and
assume positions at command, and will
leap onto the shoulders of the keeper and
form very striking tableaux.
The wolf, which is one of the origins from
which the domesticated dog has doubtless
sprung, is, it is needless to say, a most in
telligent animal, and hence it can be tanned
by appealing to its mental faculties; but at
the same time, as in the case of dogs, it
must be impressed with the sense of the

How a Bishop Was Put to Death.

How a Bishop Was Put to Death.
Traces of this primitive superstition,
bewitching by images, are found among
civilized people, for Grimm reports that
in the eleventh century Jews were ac-
cused in Europe of having killed Bishop
Ebergard by a sorcery of the kind. They
were said to have made figure of wax
representing the bishop, hired priest to
baptize it, and put it into the fire. AS
seen as the wax was melted, the bishop
was attacked by mortal disease.-L.

All About Poppies.

Poppies wear scarlet coats like soldiers,
and are favorites with children, who have
always thought it fine fun to pop the long
buds and unfold the crumpled red leaves
that are inside Perhaps from this habit
of popping the buds the flower got its
name. Who knows? In old England the
poppy is sometimes called the corn rose be-
cause 1t grows in the fields along with the

A SPRAY OF POPPIEs.

Poppies are used as an emblem of sleep,
because the white juice which drops out OF
the stem when you first break the flower
off Is said TO give ease to people who are in
pain and sleep to those who cannot rest.
This juice is called opium. Our red poppy
gives so very little that 1t would not be
worth while to collect it; large kind that
has white blossom is the plant from
which opium is gathered, which grows in
India, China and other parts of Asia.

The NeW Party.

Idaho Democrat.
We may grumble about the
third party to our hearts con-
tent but there it is. Perhaps
the part it will play in the
next campaign will not be i'm
portant and perhaps it will, but
the fact that it had it's origin
in the restlessness and discon-
tent of farmers and working
men is, to say the least, omi-
nous. The tillers of the soil
in the south and northwest
have a feeling that they have
not been squarely dealt with
"If the country" they say, lis
SO tremendously prosperous as
our orators and newspapers
are declaring it be, why in the
world are we compelled to
mortgage our farms. If our
manufacturers are booming
and all is so brisk and pro6ta-
BILE that man can count his
money by millions, why can't
we, who work from sunrise I'M
til after dark manage to make
both ends meet ? There must
be a screw loose somewhere"
And it is that loose screw, or
rather the hope to find and
tighten it which gave rise to
this third party. The wage
earners are also disgruntled.
If you say it is their chronic
condition then all the worse
for the system that makes it
so. There never was a time
in the history of the world
when so much profound think
ing was done by the working
men as now. 1t is the tenden-
cy of a republic to make them
think for they have votes to
cast and public policies to ap-
prove or oppose. They don't
quite know what the matter is
and so they strike in the dark
and three-quarters of the time
at nothing. They are only
sure of one thing-that there
is something somewhere that
ought to be hit, and hit hard if
they can only find out what
and where it is. In the mean
time the high tariff monstrosi-
ty is expressing both of these
classes and making their bur-
dens heavier. The govern
ment which should render life
easier, is constantly making it
harder. The farmers and
wage-earners are gradually get
ting their eyes open to the fact
and if in 80 they come to see
it as clearly as some of us do
now they will train their guns
against Mckinley and extermi-
nate all those buncombe mon
gers who try to persuade the
worker that the more he takes
out of his pocket for taxes the
more he has in it for himself.
