Two Rows.


 Romeyn, Montclair, N. J., boy, aged five, converses with his friend of equally mature years, as follows:
 Romeyn-My pa is going to get me 8 goat.
 Fairchild-1've got twenty goats. R.-Where are theya
 F.-Oh! they're down in New York in pas office.
 R.-Why don't they bring them herea F.-They're sick.
 A pause. Finally Romeyn speaks: "1 saw Anthony's Nose last summer" Fairchild-I saw Anthony himself. R.-Anthony's Nose is a rock and it broke off and fell into the water. Fl saw it fall.
 Romeyn's mother, an interested listener, at this point deemed it excellent to inter pose with moral lesson. "Why, Fair child,' said she, ''did you never hear of Ananiss and Sapphira?"
 Fl knew them both.
 R.'s mother-You know, Fairchild, they were struck dead for telling lies. F.-Yes, I saw them struck. R's mother-Fairchild, do you know where they went, (Very impressively) They went to hell.

dow. Every time the sunlight played upon the plate glass the tray coruscated with prismatic hues of dazzling brilhancy. The tray is we'll known to the trade. It is designed to display the remarkable vari- ations of the color of large African mine diamonds, and contains examples of all the colors known. It possesses great in- terest for novices in gems, end the jeweler is called upon half dozen times day to explain the beauties of the specimens.
 "1t took long time to get this collec- ton together" the jeweler said, land it is the only one in the town of the kind thus arranged. You see here the brown dia- mond, the absinthe, the canary or yellow. the gem, the pink, the rose, and the coffee and the green diamond. The effect of these combinations in the sunlight is en- trancing. Each predominant hue seems to impart distinct luster to the prismatic scintillations- When the tray is swung to and fro in the sunbeams it gives forth as you see perfect blaze of rainbow colors. These gems also illustrate different cut ting of the diamonds. Were they all set in bracelet or brooch, or 8 necklace, they would make rarely beautiful trink- Ctp but IL Woulu COsl d uchEl OI
 The jeweler picked out one sparkler with pair of diamond tweezers and held 1t forward in the show window.
 This is Brazilian gem, he said, "like which there is only one other in the worl d in Paris, and the French one is not as pure or as large as this This is what is called a black diamond, and is valued at twenty five hundred dollars. It weighs a trifie less than four carats. Its beauty lies in the fact that it changes its color in differ ent lights. In this strong sunlight you see it is almost black, but it gives forth a prismstic radiance greater than that emit ted by the best of the black gems. In gaslight, you observe, the black hue be- comes rich golden brown, and the play of colors is changed, too Diamonds of this sort are regarded by the superstitious miners as gold stones,' that is, gems pos sessing power of imparting good luck to the owner in tine search for hidden gold. This stone was secured in Paris, whither it was brought in rough for cutting by a Rio Janeiro merchant
 Here" continued the jeweler, lis an- other curiosity" He picked up three carat white stone with the tweezers "It is specimen that will prove to you that there is a difference of sex in the gems. This is what is called the female, multi plying diamond"
 He held the gem under strong magni- flying glass and pointed to four or five smaller diamonds clustered about one of the facets at the edge of the table of the stone. ''The male gen." the jeweler said, 'is sharp pointed and never gathers these embryo gems. There is a fine specimen alongside that pink stone. It surprises most people who see those specimens to be told that they are of different sex as well as colors, but such is the fact"

NIGHT ININDEA.
Terrifying Experience Of a Woman
 LErnIr the Inudnn Oussn l


 From the Lendon Queen-l was staying last year in a very wild
 part of India, at small and unfrequented
 hill place, to which We had gone up from the plains below to take refuge from the
 heat. was alone one night in the bunga- low, my hostess having gone down to the
 plains for day or two.
 A little girl, aged five, and an ayah were
 sleeping in my room. Like most Indian
 bedrooms, there was dressing-room of
 it, and of that again bathroom. In this
 bathroom we had tied up the most prec-
 ious of our dogs, two pugs, and their
 lately arrived family, three dear little
 pups.
 I seemed to have been dreaming for
 some time of confused noises, when l sud
 denly awoke to find the two pugs rushing wildly about the room dragging their chains after them, and barking furiously. By the light of the lamp which was glim-
 mering in the room, I could see that the dogs were dreadfully excited and terrified, and must have broken their chains to get loose. The cause of their terror was not far to seek, for at that moment the most terrible growls was heard coming appar-
 ently, from the bathroom, and the noise of these increased, until one was reminded of feeding time for the lions at the Zoo. By this time the ayah was awake, and | the child was crying. I sent the former hurriedly to call the man servants, who were supposed to sleep outside on the ve- | randa, which went partly around the bun | galow. But, as usual in any emergency, especially if there is no sahib on the prem ises these dutiful servants were not at | their post.
 Meanwhile the growls were getting loud CT and louder, and the bathroom door was being shaken, or pushed, so violently that thought every minute the wild beast, whatever it was, would walk or rather | rush in upon us. There was no door be- tween my room and the bathroom-merely | curtains about foot of the ground. This | is usual in India to allow for the free | circulation of air: one lives in & drsughi | there.
 When I heard that the men were not | outside, sent the ayah of to their huts | (or "go-downs," as they were eslled) to | rouse them up if they were there. Then | followed a terrible few minutes of waiting, | which seemed like hours. 1 had to try and | comfort the child, who was dreadfully | frightened; the dogs were still rushing | wildly about the room, their coats quite stiff and erect with fright, and intervals
 between the hideous growls, the feeble | squeaks and whines of the puppies were | heard. The elder pugs seemed to be driv' | en wild between desire to go to their of

Protection Against Lightning. Professor H. A. Rowland in the Baltimor

 Recent scientific study has swept away some of the old notions about conductors. The method now considered the best for protection of buildings is to provide a metal roof, with an ample number of met al conductors leading to the ground which will receive and carry off the electric bolts from the clouds. Copper is the best ma terial, but tin or iron will answer the pur- pose; and ! always suggest the placing of

 The Alliance legislature of Georgia has got itself disliked by refusing to accept the gift of a confederate soldiers home, which an association was anxious to give the State. Economy was the professed motive, for it was feared. that the support of the home would fall upon the State, which, as one legislator put it, had poor, houses enough now to accommodate every body who could not support themselves and had no friends.
 An important factor is likely to be in troduced into English political life, in the candidacy et large number of labor men who are put forward as the representatives of the trades unions.

al property" Yes, well what is land
called: "ReaP property-real estate.
What does this mean? Simply this:
There is but one indestructable, i'm
perishable, immoveahle, unstealable,
non-decaylng, income producing,
property in the universe-and that
property is "REAL estate!''
On that we will base the money of
the world. And let it get into circu-
lation by lifting debtsl Aye, let this
be the song of rejoicing sung OF the
currency OF the globe-"I lift debts. )"
And it's amount: On a currency of
a billion today there are nine billions
of mortgages! If every mortgage
were lifted from the shoulders of toll
and the heavy hearts made light it
would require but a billion dollars!
And we all know that the need of
commerce requires two billions!
There is no need of flooding the coun-
try" then more than now. And yet
the very hour that land loans upon
improved farms are introduced that
hour new era in the history of the
earth dawns upon mankind. Even
the loss a farm or a 2O-year mort
gage at 2-per cent single means that
the "people" take the land, and may
again offer it for sale on long time!

What a Boss" Does.

There has been a hatred OF despot-
ic power among educated people and
uneducated people, in all the civilized
world. There are despotisms in the
world still left to show us what it is
but they are extraordinarily strong
military powers, and the seeds of civil
commotion are widely scattered
therein.
But what does despotism mean?
Many despotic countries have wise
laws and, often, wise rulers. The
great terror which people have OF
despotisms is fear of the absolute
power to appoint sub-omcials- and
the consequent corruption.
But take a careful, honest view OF
the condition of politics in this re-
public. The party has it's "boss' in
every state. Both parties are sup
piled with these forces, and both are
plenary in jurisdiction-both are
dictators. Whoever is read out by
the republican boss may as well give
up any hope of appointment, and,
generally, of nomination.
When the democracy get into pow
er no man can get a shadow of Off
cial promotion except through the
fat of the Boss. In Minnesota this
means "Me and Mike"-P. II. Kelly
and Mike Doran. So despotic are
these individuals that the will of nine
tenths of a community is of no in
fuence. So far has this despotism
gone that party "leagues" have been
formed, with a desperate oath, in
which the members swear to abide
the orders of the Chief, at the ballot
box, at the primaries and at the
nominating conventions! This is the
worst possible form of disease in q
republic it is the sure precursor
of destruction. 1t is degrading and
revolving. Let the people be warned
in time, and destroy these ulcerous
growths-and destroy the parties
that nourish them.

Clippings from tho Dakota Ruralist.

Cl3pp1nGs from tho Dakota RuTa1ist.
(Pres't Il. L. Loucks, Editor.)
We clip the following from this
stalwart organ OF a stalwart state.
1t speaks our sentiments exactly:
THE sUB-TREAsURY.
Only one state president opposed
and he, q: s. Hall, of Missouri, was
defeated. L. Leonard, a stalwart,
was elected in his stead. Three
cheers and a tiger for Leverett Leon
ard and the Missouri Alliance. The
Alliance has no use for traitors.
McAllister, of Mississippi assistant
state lecturer, assisted q. S. Hall in
his opposition to the Alliance. and
he has been expelled. At Ocala there
was a spy who gave out reports of
business to the press. We thought
then that it was McAllister. We
feel sure now. A spy and traitor
expelled and yet the republican press
of South Dakota laud him and quote
him as an Alliance leader. Is there
no limit to the descent OF the plute
press in their intense zeal to injure
the Alliance? When this expelled
spy and traitor utters a lie about
any prominent Alliance man Jay
Gou1d's associated press sends it
forth on lightning wings and the
plute press rolls it over as a sweet
morsel. They pretend to be friendly
to the Alliance, but they are no bet
ter than McAllister.
Redwater Alliance, Minnesota,
unanimously resolved and agreed
to hold their wheat for higher prices.
Wheaton Alliance, No. 316, Hand
county, resolves "That we favor
holding our wheat for $1,55 per
bushel.
HARMONY.
Is there unanimity in the Alliance
on the sub treasury? Well, we
should say so. The first 16 state
Alliances that have met since the
annual session of the Nation have
passed it with one vote only against,
and that was in Arkansas. Pretty
near unanimous. That is what we
call harmony with a big 81.

not cause the limpid showers to fall

Texas, the drouth has been pronOunc-
ed. The grass was parched, the
growing corn shrivled up, the streams
were dry and the fountains of earth
had failed. This was selected as a
good place for the experiment.
The telegraph Thursday brought
the good news that the experiment had
been entirely successful. ''All this re-
