ABOUT UMBRELLAS,
An Article of Great Utility Universal
Its Spread.

| An Article of Great Utility Universal In
It's Spread.
| There has long been suspicion thai
| the leading umbrella manufacturers
| have tempered with the vea Their burea u
| and have paid some of the signal service
| employees handsome salary to predict
rain. The large number of predictions
of wet and showery weather which
have never been verified lends color to
the belief that many of the Inetecrolog-
| ical Swans of the government are in
| the pay of the umbrella manufacturers.
| A signal prediction of fair, with oc-
| casiona1 showers" will cause the sale
| of hundreds of dozens of umbrellas to
| the trade, while good, strong predic-
| ton of northeasterly winds, with
heavy rains, gives a sudden boom
TO the umbrella industry, even
| when it is in the dry and yellow leaf.
The annual consumption of umbrellas
in the United States is estimated at five
million. The artificial stimulus Of
purely imaginative weather predictions
increases this number greatly.
The umbrella is the most widespread
article in the world. 1t is found in
every cline. IN every degree of latitude
and in every degree of life. Mr.. James
G. Blaine carries an umbrella in Wash
ington. The king of Dahomey carries
an umbrella when he walks abroad in
his capital. Mr.. Gladstone carries an
umbrella. So does the maharaiah of
Delhi. the akbar OF Swat. the prince of
Siam, the mfkado of Ia pan. the great
tycoon of China. the shah of Persia, the
king of the Sandwich islands. the ameer
of Afghanistan and Muley Hassam.
Everybody has heard of '1old umbrel-
las" Perhaps few are aware how old
umbrellas are. Pictures of umbrellas
are found on walls of the ruins of Nine
veh. Jonah may have borrowed an um-
brella if it happened to be showery
weather when he visited Nineveh.
Three thousand years ago the citizens
of Nineveh may have leaned his UNI
brella against winged lion and may
have stopped to talk to citizen OF
Babylon who carried his umbrella nm
der his arm. Cleopatra had a gorgeous
umbrella. Julius Caesar perhaps walked
up the steps of the Roman senate with
an umbrella over his head. For aught
anybody knows to the contrary. Noah
may have carried family umbrella
aboard the ark.
In some countries the umbrella, like
the sword. is mark of distinction.
Kings enjoy certain reflected glory
from the magnifcence of their umbrel
las. Noblemen carry gorgeous umbFel
las. but not so gorgeous as those of the
king.
The anatomy Of an um brella has neve,
been deeply studied. but it is not dis
similar to that of human being. Both
have ribs. An American nm brella usual
~ has eight ribs. though some particu-
larly large and healthy umbrellas have
sixteen ribs. Chinese and japanese um-
brellas have a generous allotment OF
ribs, some of them possessing as many
as forty or fifty.-N. Y. Journal

EVASIVE UTTERANCES.
Insincerity and Obscurity of the Repub-
Iican Platform.


Iican Platform.
The republican platform is a queer
piece of work. From the first to the
last word it is evasive and insincere.
To know exactly what it means it is
necessary to read it between the lines.
1t will be observed that the Mckinley
bill is nowhere specifically mentioned
in the platform, although its putative
author was the president OF the con-
vention. The omission was no acci-
dent 1t was remembered that this bill
had been condemned by the American
people by majority OF nearly mil
lion of votes. 1t was not forgotten that
republicans of eminence had denounced
the bill as a violation of the pledges
made during the canvass of 1855. The
platform, therefore, was content to ap-
prove protection and reciprocity with
out committing the party to details.
Between the lines of these declarations
and others of a general character we
read that the republicans were afraid
TO indorse the Mckinley bill by name.
They chose so to frame the platform
that il could be construed as an indorse-
ment where it is popular, and as not an
Endorsement where that construction
promises better harvest of votes.
The assertion that the prices of man
ufactured articles are lower now than
before the passage of the tariff OF 1870
Is designed to make consumers believe
that the manufacturers were deceived
when they supposed that this leglsla-
ton was in their interest Between
the lines we read that the platform
makers knew that the manufacturers
were too sagacious to believe this hum
bug. and that they hoped that the
masses of the people were pot. IL the

A QUEER PET.

It Belonged to the Soldiers at a wyo-
ming Fort.
A tame beaver kept by the soldiers at
a fort in Wyoming became quite famous
for his sagacity. Caught while young
and perfectly tanned, he became very
docile and great favorite at the fort.
The little fellow could never be cured
of his instinct to build dams. and it is
related that he once undertook to dam
the Platte river, working for months
all night long. and returning to
the fort every morning at sum
rise. He cut down quite u number
of trees, but life proved too short
for the completion of his plans. While
around the fort he was constantly turn
ing over every kind of vessel that con-
tanned water, and collecting sticks TO
head it off as it flowed away. One night
by oversight the beaver was locked up
in the warehouse, and during the night,
in nosing around. he discovered a ten
gallon can OF molasses that had been
left uncovered. That discovery proved
his doom. The next day he was found
gasping for life, having been caught in
the sticky mass as the can was over
turned. He never recovered from the
shock, and was tenderly buried in the
presence of large circle of his friends

A Great Surprise.

One day Tommy was giving his
Noah's Ark sail in the water-pitcher,
when all the people and animals fell
out, and Tommy went away and forgot
all about them When lunck-time
came Mary Ann filed up the pitcher
without looking in it. and when the
water was poured out, what do you
think happened? Mamma found
great giraffe in her glass. Aunt Annie
found a blue monkey, and papa had an
elephant and a bear. And what do you
think tumbled out in Tommy's silver
cup? Nothing less than Noah and
pink pig.
Of course nobody wanted to drink

Why Blaine Quit,

There are circumstances iii profnl.
fient events which are misleading and
often is 1t that they force wrong con-
clisions. 1t is almost the universal
belief that Mr.. Blaine sent in his
resignation for the sole purpose Of be-
coming candidate for the Republic
can Nomination, for the Presidency.
Mr.. Blaine's letter declining to be a
candidate, was doubtless in good
faith, but the continual snubbing
which he received on the part of the
administration was beyond endur-
ance and Mr.. Blaine quit without
a moments warning, just as all proud
and great men should do, and now
Mr.. Blaine reasons for his action is
becoming known and are justifiable.
His friends used his name before the
Minneapolis convention hoping the
Republicans would approve it.

selecting the man to fill the Presiden-

March 4th. next. TO an observer at

against the field, with the chances in
the eX-president's favor. No one can
as, yet make anything more than a
guess as to what the result will be !;
but if prudence and conservatism pre-
vail the convention will nominate a
ticket which will sweep the country in
November.
