jus. How the Error Occurred.

A travelling man at one of the hotels had
devoured the big end of supper when he
called a waiter and addressed him in this
way:
Bring me an order of wheat cakes, we'll
done, not burned, but Drowned, about the
color of your countenance"

''Oh, you wants 'em seal brown
That's it,"
They'll be here instantly, boss.''
The darkey hurried away toward the
kitchen.
In the course of ten minutes another
waiter set plate of pale looking cakes be-
fore the man.
DO You call those cakes well doneY"
No, sab. | didn't take your order.
Another waiter turned it over to me-"
We'll, send him here"
The man with a seal brown face appeared
Didn't 1 order my cakes as brown as

YES, you did, sab, but the head waiter
made me give your order to n yellow fell

The following article is from the Dem

The following article is from the Dem
ocratic Advocate of Westminster, Md
issue of Nov. z. 1t is in harmony with
the sentiment on the subject of the speak
ership expressed by the Charleston, 8. G,
News and Courier. the Virginia Land
mark, and many other southern demo.
cratic newspapers. as well as with the
views of ex-senator Wade Hampton and
other statesmen and democratic leaders
of that portion of the union. We have
DO doubt the views so csndidly expressed
by the Democratic Advocate in regard to
the wisdom of choosing MIR. Springer for
speaker. are entertained by democrats
generally throughout the country. Il
says:
The election for 1891 being over, the
meeting OF congress and the speakership

terest for the next few weeks.

house is unprecedented, being more than

The speakership OF the house is ques,
ton much canvassed, and as the first
Monday in December draws nearer the
interest increases. Among the
most prominent candidates are Mills, OF
Texas. Crisp, of Georgia, and Springer, of
Illinois. Some months ago the Advocate
expressed preference for Dir, Crisp, and
all things considered he is, in our iudg-
ment. the best equipped Of the aspir-
ants.
In the Fiftieth congress the speaker
and nearly all the important committee
chairmanships were held by southern
members. and the fact was used with eff,
feet in the election of 1883 against the
democratic party. To avoid any section
al issues, ss well as to make acknowls

carnegi. Reduces Wages.

We find in The Iron Age an account
OF the recent reduction of wages at Car
negie's Edgar Thomson Steel works.
The meters receive 65 cents per 100 tons
instead of S1.06; the vessel repairers, 20
cents instead of 81, the ladlemen in the
blooming mill, SO cents instead of $1.19.
The wages in the other departments
''have been reduced in chat same proper
ton" That the men submitted to such
cut down without. n struggle is signiti-
cant. The past has tau ght them that re-
sistance to Carnegie in the economic
field meant disaster to them in the form
of starvation, and frequently imprison-

The Broncho's Endurance.

The Droncho is n superior animal for
endurance, and he is SO touGh and strong
that he will live through the hardest win
ter and the severest blizzard, without any
protection or care from his master When
the tufts of coarse grass are covered over
with snow he will live on boughs of trees,
or try to dig his way down through the
snow to the dead vegetation. During Sc
we're winters he grows tain and wiry look
ing, but as soon as spring opens he fattens
mp again, and is as lively as ever. Strong

What Wooden Nutmecs Are.

The Banda isles are almost covered with
nutmeg trees. To prepare the seeds for
use they are dried in moderate heat for
about two months. Then the shells are
broken and the nutmegs are picked out
and assorted, the inferior ones being re-
served for the oil press. As the essential
oil of nutmeg brings Il high price, dishon-
est growers often steep the nutmegs in hot
water to extract the oil from them.
They are then coated with lime and sent
into the channels of commerce Such nut
megs are worthless; their aroma aud pun
Sency have disappeared, these qualities be-
ing due exclusively to the oil If on
inserting pin no oil rushes to the sarface,
the nutmeg is merely a wooden nutmeg

On November 6 the great iron firm OF
Jones & Loughlin. of Piitsburg, re-
duced the pay of 500 men from 81 so to
$1.35 day. Particular attention is
called to the fact that Jones was chair
man Of the republican national committee
during the Blaine campaign in 1884. and
to the further fact that he contributed fat
for the Mckinley campaign in Ohio this
year. The fat that was fried out of him
to help elect Mckinley will now be
charged up TO and fried out OF his ''pro-
tected" workingmen. Labor bears the
burden of all fat frying.

1t will be remembered that the Nc
Kinley tariff increased the duties on
glassware from 4o and As per cent. to a
uniform rate of &C per cent, and at the
same time imposed this latter duty on
the cost of packages and charges, adding
about 10 per cent. more to the 60 per
cent.
Immediately after the passage of the
Mckinley tariff the manufacturers Of
glassware met and formed trust to
take advantage Of the increased duties
and raise prices.
While the glassware trust was getting
in its work the crockery trust cut down
wages and increased prices. Does not
this show for whom the Mckinley tariff
law was enacted; and does it not also
show how those trusts which demanded
its enactment have taken full advantage
of il?

An Exciting Fight In Pasture Field Wit
nOsscd by n Farmer.
A Scranton, Pa, Dispatch.
Abner NJ. Goodrich, who lives on
Panther Hill, thirteen miles south Of
this city, saw a buck deerstrolling along
the edge OF piece ofwoods on his place
a, few days ago. Suddenly the buck
stopped, threw back his antlcrs, and
began gazing toward the farm buildings.
IN hillside pasture field, twenty rods
below the buck, Mr. Goodrich's herd OF
cattle were grazing. All at once the
buck caught sight OF the cattle, and,
leaping over tho fence, bounded down
the hillside toward them. The cows
became frightened ut the bucks sudden
appearance, and with their tails IN the
air they cAntered to a corner OF the pas
ture. The bull in the herd did not run.
When the buck saw the cows caper-
ing away he came to u sudden stop.
The bull Immediately faced the strange
animal, beloved savagely and began to
paw up the dirt. Attirst the buck acted
rs II he didn't know what to make OF
the noisy bulls actions lie backed off
few feet, and tho bull slowly followed
him. The bull made lunge at the
buck with lowered horns, and the buck
got out OF his way by bounding to one
side. This was repeated number OF
times, the bull becoming more angry ut
each failure to gore the buck, while the
buck eyed his noisy antagonist and
kept out of his reach.
Finally the buck began to get mad at
the way the bull was making him shift
his ground. When the bull again
lunged ut him he uttered n loud bleat,
bounded into the uir, and struck the
bull in the neck. One OF the bulls
horns pierced the bucks shoulder, and
then the bucks fighting nature was
aroused to the highest pitch. He
danced all around the bull, damned his
prongs into the bulls sides, struck him
with his sharp hoofs, and didn't give
the bull another chance to gore him.
Soon the bucks energetic and fierce
attack completely demoralized the bull.
He mnde one more effort to down his
lively antagonist, but failed to hook
him, while the buck got in another tell
ing strike on the bulls ribs. Then the
bull gave below of rage, turned tail
like tlash ard ran at the top OF his
speed TO where the cows were huddled.
For moment the triumphant buck
stood and gazed at the fugitive bull.
Then he whirled, legged it up the hill,
scaled the fence and disappeared in the
forest. The bull was SO badly injured
that Mr. Goodrich had to kill'him. Nj
