stated the Japanese obtain their lac

botanists as the rhus vernix. and 1t APP

trees, some thirty feet high. Prof
Rhein has taken sap from a few of the
trees and sent il to Japan for trial by
native artists. IT is, however. almost
useless for Europeans to attempt TO
compete with the Japanese in their

from trees grown in Europe, may be
used for other purposes than varnish

By degrees, as the skin gains tone and

can increase in energy. The skin be-
comes not tougher but more resistant.

But the treatment should be persevered

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1891.

The Democracy of New York are in a
delightfully."- muddled condition. Tam
many scooped up everything in sight
and kicked the other fellows out of
sight, Upon what Flower depends may
be inferred from what one of his sup
porters yelled out at large Republican
meeting: swell you call this blow
out, do you. Wait till the Tammany ter
riers get hold of the shekels Flower is
going to shell out. Then you will see a
blow. out as is a blow-outp Flowers
second in Congress shows him to be an
extreme free-trader and trimmer on
Stree silver" But the "Tammany ter
riers" care very little for that, provided
that he shells out the shekels for their
blow-outs. Sheehan, candidate for
second place on the ticket, after being
ploughed under in Buffalo, his home
got up contesting delegates to the con.
vention and Tammany took them in.
The leading Democratic newspaper of
Buffalo says OF Sheehan: "The nominee
has repeatedly an deliberately sold out
his party at the polls, and it is for this
reason that the great majority of Demo-
Gratis of Buffalo who do not earn their
living out of politics have no confidence
in him. We do not believe it possible
for him to be elected. Thousands of
Democrats of this city will refuse to vote
for him, and many thousands will vote
against him throughout the State" The
opinion of leading Democrats on the
situation may be judged by the follow
ing samples. ''They (the Tammany
terriers) are below the level of civiliza-
ton" "The convention was meeting
of Tammany held at Saratoga" "Flow-
er is vastly overmatched by Mr.. Fossett."
