THAT President Harrison is marvel
Gus orator is universally conceded by
enemies as well as friends. During the
last presidential campaign he made
more speeches than any two men be
fore the public. In ali that time, and
in al those speeches, not one word was
uttered that demanded explanation or
recall. His recent tour OF the west
coupled with the campaign alluded TO,
has stamped him as one OF the greatest
orators of bis time. Even Harper's
Weekly SO slow to do him honor. comes
TO the fore with that acknowledgment.
In its issue Of May 9th iG says: Those
who ara disposed to class oratory among
the lost arts no must reconsider that con-
clusIon in view of the presidents tour.
He has been travelling across the CONT
net To the Pacific, and every day he has
made two or three clever speeches, good
natured. varied, full Of tact, and express
ing his views courteously, and the whole
country reads in surprise, and great
many worthy people say that here is
great man who has been somehow con-
oealed under visionary hat, but who
will be henceforth estimated at his true
value, and undoubtedly renomIrated and
reelected to the presidency by the accla-
nation Of his party. IL oratory can SO
radically change the general impression
in regard to the president, it is certainly
not lost art. On the contrary, it
seems to confirm the wisdom Of the cay
ing that in a country Of parliamentary
government successful statesmen must
be great orators. 1t is, however, true
that none OF the presidents except Lin
coin have been especially distinguished
as orators, while two OF the greatest
American orators, Webster and Clay.

HarrIson's grandfather was preferred as

The Chilian inSurgent Esmeralda also

1t is rumored that it ls positively known
the Esmeralda had communicated at

the latter steamed south after having
received provisions from the Es-
meralda. The Esmeralda then came
back to Acapulco and will follow
the Charleston when the latter leaves
here. There are two Chilian men of

will undoubtedly be dn engagement

this transaction beneficial to his health

that he would have them married and If
he did not make it stick marry them

Dentistry for Animals.

When Gagged animals have thetooth-
ache they suffer the same as human
beings. In their greediness to eat
their dinner they may snap a bone so
hard as to loosen one of their teeth.
This gives them excruciating pain and
the tooth must be extracted before
they can find relief. Now a lion or a
tiger hates to have a tooth extracted
as much as a boy, and sometimes the
operation hurts a great deal more.
Very frequently the tooth has to be
knocked out OF the jaw with a ham
mer or at least loosened so that the
big pinchers can pull it out. The ami
NAL has to be tied and the jaw held
open with a gag before the tooth can
be taken out 1t might we'll seem to

Startling London Statistics,

At the Hygienic and Topographic
Congress, Mr.. John Coode presented
some statistics respecting the metrop-
oils which were startling even theto
most enthusiastic Londoner. For
instance, he told us that the popula-
ton of London greatly exceeds the
combined population of four of the
largest European capitals, Paris,
Berlin, Vienna, and Rome. He told
us that if our metropolitan highways
were formed into one continuous line
we could walk along it from London
to Lands End and thence across the
Atlantic Ocean to the mouth of the
Gulf OF St. Lawrence, or in the oppo-
site direction could cross Europe and
drop into Asia far beyond the Ural
Mountains. He affirmed that every
Londoner is daily supplied with near
ly twenty-five gallons OF convey
ed through pipes OF a united length of
4, 76Omiles. Sewerage is not a savory
subject, and we are not much inter-
rested at being told that the London
sewers measure about eighty miles in
length, but we were distinctly gratifed
at hearing that the mortality of the
metropolis had decreased from 80 per
thousand in 1890 to 1913 per thou
sand in 1890.

Pork and Celery Stew.

A savory dish these chilly autumn
days, for those who like celery, is
made thus: A large, thick slice of pork
is put on to boil in plenty of water
while you cut into short pieces or
strips several stalks of celery. Put
these into the stew and cover closely
while you pare and slice, pretty thick
ly, half q dozen medium-sized pota-
toes; add these to the other ingredi-
ents. While they are cooking take
two teacupfuls of sour milk and
cream, in proportions to suit your
self, one teaspoonful of salt, one tea
spoon rounding full of soda, and the
same of cream of tartar, siftedi in with
sufficient flour to form a stiff dough.
Drop small spoonfuls into the stew,
and cook. uncovered until done, turn
ing them over carefully when we'll

be made of sweet cream or milk if pre-
ferred, by doubling the amount of
baking powder or its equivalent, then

boiling broth and kept boiling they
will be eight as u feather" Asimilar
stew may be made during any part of
the year by using celery seed instead
of stalks; green stalks are as good az
blanched.
