THE OCALA PLATFORM.
HERE Is WHAT THE ALLIANCE DE.
MANDS.

There is more or less talk about
Ocala platform, adopted by the AL
lance, SO we publish it for the in.
formation of our readers:
/. a. We demand the abolition Of
national banks. 7~4F

ment shall establish sub-treasuries
or repositories in the several states,
which shall loan money direct to the
people at low rate of interest, not
to exceed 2 per ceat. per annum, on
non-perishable farm products, and
also upon real estate, with proper
limitations upon the quantity of land
and amount of money.
c. We demand that the amount of
the circulating medium be speedily
increased to not less than $50 per
capita.
2. We demand that Congress
shall pass such laws as will effectu-
ally prevent the dealing in futures
of all agricultural and mechanical
productions; providing a stringent
system of procedure in trials that
will secure the prompt convection,
and imposing such penalties as shall
secure the most perfect compliance
with the law.
3. We condemn the silver bill re.
Gently passed by Congress, and de-
mand in lieu thereof the free and
unlimited coinage of silver.

tual settlers only.

Mrs. Annie Jenness-M Miller, who
exerted herself 50 theoretically in
the interest of dress reform for wo.

in New York is in the hands of the

the women of America to corset

her efforts were not crowned with

The Age of Muscle.

This is it undoubtedly. Never before in
the history of the race did the cultivation OF
muscle receive such universal attention and
encouragement Even the gentler sex prae-
tiees every branch of calisthenies affected
by the trousered gender. This of course is
well, for exercise is an essential of health.
But to the feeble, the nervous and the dys-
peptic, Iostetter's stomach Bitters affords a
guaranty of primal yigor upon which Il
superstructure of muscularity1may advan-
tageously be built. Most genial and speedy
of tonic, ii is also the most thorough of regu-
lators, entirely rectifying errors of digestion

healthy habit of body. 1t conquers and pre-
vents intermittent and bilious remittent few
er rheumatism, kidney and bladder trouble.
The aged, intirm and convalescing derive
immeasurable benefit from it use; ii imparts
hearty relish for food and overcomes

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

The pin factories of the United
States manufacture about $4,000, ,000,-
pins per year.
The value OF Kansas farm lands is
said to have actually increased "a per

During the year ended December l,
the big bridge between New York and
Brooklyn earned $1,176, ,447.95 in

The first fore-runner of the type
writer in the United States was Il ma

were unable to use the pen and pencil.
The name typewriter was first
given to machine invented by three
men of Milwaukee, Wis, which em-
bodied the principles of the present
machine in a crude manner. Since
1913, there have been issued in this
country $50 patents for writing ma
chimes, 750 Of which have been
granted since 1880.

Music OfLife.

What blessing God bestowed upon man
when He gifted him with the musical faculty.
1t surely must have been given to us as
foretaste of that heavenly cline where all
is harmony and joy, for earth has no greater
charm than music. From infancy to totter-
ing old age, we never grow tired of harmo-
nious sounds.
We. in ourselves. are musical instruments
of finer construction than any that will ever
be turned out of the factory of our instru-
ment makers. Each one has his scale OF
tones. his sharps and flats, in fact all the
requirements of any instrument. and he
alone is the master of it. it rests in his
own power whether he will create harmony
to charm all who come in contact with him,
or create discOrd that will jar on those in
his company. Let us examine few of the
harmonious and discOrdant keys of natures
instrument. Take the key of smile,
what cheerful tone it produces Like
flash of sunshine on cloudy day, it flashes
out and takes in the surroundings, and all
feel brighter, and happier. How few use
that keynote here. and how few know it's
value! During the overflow of the Ohio
river, when houses with whole families in
them were lifted from their foundations
and sent whirling to destruction in the rag
ing waters, l was with rescuing party.

whom we rescued. When we entered the
house to see if any one was in it. we saw a
woman sitting on the floor with little
child in her lap. The little one was laugh

could; it had no fear of the terrible death
that might grasp it at any moment. Twas

The official etiquette of the White House
remains about the same from generation to
generation, but the social regime varies
very much, according to the tastes of the
temporary occupants. 1t. by combination
of fOrtuitOus circumstances. an unpretend
ing woman of limited education and pro
vincal habits finds herself suddenly thrust
into position for which she is wholly un-
prepared by previous training, she fills it
more or less acceptably, as she has tact and
adaptability. These seem qualities which
have not of late years been conspicuously
characteristic of the first ladies" of the
land, no matter what their previous station;
favor of a certain beautiful woman, who
was herself more priceless treasure than
any the White House contained.
A visitor going for the first time to the
White House would suppose at a casual
glance that it was gala day, and all the
world was thronging thither. 1t is rather
surprising to learn that it is always the
same. There are fine ladies and gentleman
who come in great state, foreigners of all
nations, rustics from the depths of the for
est, the perfectly blase, the ignorant clown.
the ubiquitous. irrepressible American
child-all running rampant over the Presi-
dents house. Few. fortunately, make the
mistake of the intoxicated straggler who
found his way into the grounds, and per-
ceiving the three harmless gilded shells
used in the way of very questionable orna-
mentaton in front of the mansion. thus
accosted a door-keeper: "Old man in?"
Receiving only look of dazed inquiry by
way of reply. he continued, "Old ten per
cent money bags, say?" At this juncture
it dawned upon the official, so far as his
sense of shocked dignity permitted him to
receive any impression. that this besotted
wretch actually supposed himself at
pawnbroker's shop! But much prettier
story than this can be told OF these empty
shells: Formerly the birds built their nests
in them. and now that the holes have been
filled so that they can not, they yet come
and perch and twitter and circle around
their former dwelling place.

The Two Bills.

In the bank lay two bills waiting their
turn to come when they would be sent out
in the world. The one was small bill,
only one dollar, the other was large one,
one thousand dollars. AS they lay side
by side, they began talking about their sit
uaton and prospects. ''Ah." said the dol
lar bill, ''if were as big as you. how much
good then could do. l could move in the
highest society, and the people would show
me very careful attention wherever went.
Everybody would look on me as curiosity
and would wish to take me home with them.
But what good can do being so little as l
am? Nobody cares anything for me. lam
too little to be of any account" Surely
that is true" said the thousand dollar bill,
with frown, and proudly curled one of its
corners. ITO be sure if you were as big as
l am, you could have hope of doing some
thing in this world" and it's nice face
smiled proudly at the little dollar bill. Then
the cashier came in. took the miserable dol
lar bill and gave it cheerfully to poor
widow. ''How glad l am," she said.
Now can buy bread for my hungry chill
dren." It gladened the little bill to hear
this, and from this time on it went on its
rounds doing good. It first went to the
baker for bread, then, in turn to the doctor.
the mechanic, the school teacher. and to
many more. Wherever it went it caused
gladness and helped many out of want.

sand dollar bill was there bright and new.
with hardly a sign of having been handled,
the little bill asked, Twill you be so kind
as to tell me your history since we parted
so that may know what good you have
been doing?" A dark shadow came over the
face of the big bill as it answered, II have
travelled among the rich-from safe to safe,
where few could see me. People were un-
willing to let me out. fearing [ might be
lost. So fear 1 have not made many

bill said. ut is better to be small and travel
freely among the people doing good, than
to be so large that people through fear for

face. There l saw the most contented,
heavenly smile that had ever looked upon.
She told us, after she was safe, that she
had expected to be drowned at every
turn of the house. but that she did
not want her darling babe to fear or
cry, therefore she had smiled at danger.
Surely the music of smile that would
charm away the terrOrs of death. would
tighten our fellow mOrtals burden, and
make our own pathway brighter. We have
also the key of cheerfulness relative to the
key sociability. What sublime music there
is in kind and cheering words! Speak to the
see how they shrink from you. or show
their teeth; but change the key, and speak
kindly and cheerfully, and behold the happy
change you have wrought in the poor beast
that only moment before shrunk from
you. Can you think that you or your fel-
low men have less finer faculties for dis,
tinguishing harmony from dscOrd than
have the dogs and other dumb brutes? No;
man is gifted above all living creatures.
and the instrument of his nature is more
sensitive than the eolian harp. Try the eff.
fects of this key. my friends. You do not
have to pay cent for your instruments.
nor do you require teacher. You may say
that it is all very fine. but that. as silence is
the order in this community, you would
very soon have your instrument dieting on
antfat. But please remember that actions
speak louder than words. A cheerful coun-
tenance. with kindly deeds, will take you
further along the road of time with less
friction and wear on the frame work of
your musical instrument, than any other at
titude will. Who is there among US that
has not felt sensation of pleasure on hear
ing some fine musician! His mastery touch
charms our earth grown minds. and takes
us with him through beautiful fields where
all is joy and happiness. Music has power
to cause fierce animals to lie down in peace.
to draw venOmOus reptiles from their dark
retreats; and yet it is only dream when
compared to the effects man is capable of
producing by kindness and cheerfulness.

The White House.

When Washington was in its infancy,
and the patriots of that early day bethought
themselves of the propriety of building
a residence for the President. it was with
some difficulty that they could decide what
it should be called. In truth, this seemed
more serious question than location, eX
pense, or architecture. Anything that sug-
gested monarchies or Kingdoms. such as the
word "palace." could not be entertained;
not trace of the efete despotism of the
Old World should be tolerated, even in our
nomenclature. At last Executive Man
sion" was settled upon as a proper title.
Any gentleman. provided it was sufficiently
pretentious. might style his house IMAM
sion," and the chosen executor of laws for
the nation was not therefore set apart and
above his fellow countrymen, when installed
as chief magistrate. In the course of few
years, when only its blackened walls were
left standing as mute witnesses that our
British cousins still loved us, so much paint
was required to efface the marks of the de-
strOyer, when it was restored, that it
cleaned white as snow in the distance, and
naturally, nay almost inevitably, came to be
called the white House, by popular con-
sent. And by this pretty. simple name the
house of the Presidents will doubtless con
tinue to be known as long as republican in.
stitutiOns endure. 1t is as different as pos
sible in external appearance from the habit
ations of royalty in European cities; no
iron barred windows, better fitted for a
fortress than ordinary outlook. no gloomy,
gray walls. chilly and forbdding, frowning
down upon you. no squalid tenements
thronged with degraded specimens of hu-
.manity press its outskirts to accentuate the
beauties of the one and the miseries of the
other. Instead of this. the White House rises
fair and inviting from an elevation which
seems just sufficient to bring it into relief as
conspicuous feature of the landscape. Its
north front looks towards Pennsylvania
Avenue. commanding view of Lafayette
;Square-itself most interesting spot, con.
tanning the celebrated equestrian statue of
jackson by Clark Mills. and grouped about
the cannon captured at New Orleans-while
around it stand some of the many historic
residences of the capital. To the east and
