A Strange Animal.

A useful South American animal is
the kinkajou, which, as the dictionary
will tell you, is procyoniform quad
ruped with protrusile tongue and a
prehensile tail Under ordinary circum-
stances if you were to meet a kinkajou
in the street you would look for an Ital-
ian with hand organ, though 1 should
be inclined to look for a policeman, be-
cause l know how unpleasant the ami
NAL can be, particularly in the fruit
season, for the kinkajou loves fruit and
eats all he can find. The chief reason
for asserting that the kinkajou is useful
is that in addition to his fondness for
fruit he has great liking for insects for
lunch, and when tanned is valuable
assistance in southern homes, where fly
paper is unknown and where mosquito
net is more expensive than a silk DRESS
1t has always seemed strange to me
that some enterprising person has not
imported few thousand of these insect
eaters from South America for use in
North American summer hotels. They
could not cost more than 800 dozen,
and many people would rather pay that
amount than spend the night with a
swarm of mosquitoes and unprovided
with means of defense against them.-

IN IMPERFECT SYSTEM.

The judges and other prominent
men of Dallas said to the mob the
other night, and the Dallas News
echoes the sentiment, that the people
are clearly responsible for the failure
to punish criminals, because the
jurors are drawn directly from the
people, and they are the ones who
turn criminals loose. This charge is
rank injustice to the citizens of any
community. The people are not res
ponsible for packed and bribed juries
and perjured witnesses. These are
the direct product of corrupt court
methods, and every judge knows that
such bios upon civilization do exist.
The evil has become go open and so
patent that when a hard fight is
going to be made over any pris.
oner the fight is made in the
selection of the jury, and is kept up
until the counsel for the defendant
has jury to his notion. The juries
drawn from the people? The people
responsible FIR them? The truth is
that between witnesses and jurors
who have been tempered with, the
cause of justice is trampled in the
dust; and most of the best citizens
avoid serving on the jury whenever
they can on account of the odium into

1T MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

The contest over the governors Of
flee has waxed warmer and more ac-
rimonious as the days passed. Both
sides have continually claimed that
they had the better of the struggle,
and both sides have travelled and cap-
vassed, eliminated and recriminated,
from the rising of the sun even tothe
going down thereof. The conse-
quence is that everybody connected
with the campaign has grown madden
and madden, and nobody is pleased.
How foolish all this is, when all Bit
terness and dissension might 80 easily
have been avoided! The war has
been carried on through the newspa-
pers, which have published speeches
and letters, and communications
signed "Veritas" and "Vox Populi."
The newspapers have ranged
themselves on one side or the
othor, and have poured hot shot into
the enemy from the editorial columns.
How foolish, how unutterably foolish
all this has been. Why did not the
put up newspaper men
for the various offices and fight for
them to the utter exclusion of the
Office grabbers beyond the pale of
newspaperdom? Why was not Cousin
Rienzi put up for governor with the
solid support of every paper in Texas
pack of him? And what lieutenant.
governor Brer Belo would have made!
md there is editor Mitchell, who is
perfect everywhere, and as land COM
missioner he would have been simply
With Editor Scurlock as
general and George Bailey
s. comptroller the ticket would have
one through with a whoop; and
vhen the election was over Cousin
sienzi would undoubtedly have ap
'ointed editors Malone, Garfield and
,yrne on the railroad commission.
low much more satisfactory all this
you'd have been! But alas! With all
heir native unselfishness, the newspa-
or men did not think of it till it was

A Competent Teacher.

The London Times once contained an
advertisement for an assistant capable
of teaching the classics as far as Homer
and Virgil" Among the answers re-
ceived was this delightful specimen:
"Sir-With reference to the advertise
ment which was inserted in The Times
newspaper few days since respecting a
school assistant, l beg to state that /
should be happy to fill that situation;
but as most of my friends reside in Lon
don, and not knowing how far Homer
and Virgil is from town, beg to state
that I should not like to engage to teach
the classics farther than Hammersmith
or Turnham Green, or at the very ut
most distance farther than Brentford.
Awaiting your reply, I am sir, etc."

Mr.. ANTHONY ]. DREXEL, the
Philadelphia millionaire, who joined
with Childs in establishing the great
Childs-Drexel home for union print
ers, has had more than his share of
bereavements, and the hand of sorrow
has been laid upon him heavily.
Within a very few years he has lost
his two brothers, three of his daught-
ers, a halnvad niece, a grandchild and
his wife.

The exchange of courtesies in the
congressional halls goes merrily on,
and even the dullest men take turns
at il and surprise their hearers with
quick retorts and cutting sarcasms.
Congressman Snodgrass called jerry
Simpson a dude the other day, and
Jerry replied that he had heard there
were two great fools in the Demo-
cratic party, and that one of them was
named Snodgrass and 50 was the
other. Some one wanted him to prove
it, and the agricultural statesman re-
torted: "If you'll only give the gen.
tleman five more minutes, no wit
nesses will be needed to prove the
point in question"

Germ anY's New Twin Guns.

The German emperor was present at
some experiments conducted at Meppen,
with a new twin gun against armor
plates. The idea is that by firing the
guns simultaneously at one object, the
crushing force of the two projectiles will
be such that the stoutest armor must
give way before such a shock. In or
der that this may really happen, it is
obviously necessary that, in the first
place, the explosion in each gun should
be effected at the same fraction of a Sec
ond, that the charges should be exactly
equal and burn exactly the same time,
that the shots should be of exactly the
same weight and that they should reach
the object aimed at simultaneously. Such
accuracy is extremely difficult to COM
pass, and it is believed that very con-
siderable trouble will be necessary be-
fore the object in view can be realized

Pears
Soap
n

What is wanted Of
soap for the skin is to
wash it clean and not
hurt it. Pure soap does
that. This is why we
want pure soap; and,
when we say pure, we
mean without alkali.
Pears is pure; no al
kali INIT; no free alkah.
There, are a thousand
virtues of soap; this one
is enough. You can trust
a soap that has no biting
alkali in it.
All sorts of stores sell
it, especially druggists;
all sorts of people use it.

TO SENATOR HILL.

The New York World addresses a
double loaded editorial to David Ben
net Hill, concluding in the most elo-
quent language, urging him to use
his influence in the interest of har-
mony, assuring him that the worst he
can do is to prevent the nomination of
Cleveland, and adding:
Your proudest boast is: ~ am
o Democrat" A Democrat sub
mits to the will of the ma
jority. A Democrat puts his Dem
ocracy before his candidacy. A DEM
ocrat makes sacrifices of feelings, if
need he, for the snnnass nf his party.
A larg majority of the delegates to
Chicago strongly desire the nomina-
ton of Grover Cleveland. The con-
vention would be practically unani-
nous for him but for the opposition of
which you are the head. Is it right,
is it wise, for one state to try to over
ride forty?
Mr.. Cleveland may be nominated
over your head. That would not be
pleasant for you. 1t would not be the
best thing for the party.
Are you not capable of large poll
tics? Here is your opportunity. At
a word from you the nomination of
the candidate of the majority
would be made by reclamation.
Following roof-raising result
proceeding it if you wished
the rival state committee and the pro-
testing delegation of Democrats from
this state would melt, thaw and re-
solve themselves at once into the
placid ocean of common Democracy.
The menace of rival organization
which disturbs the regulars far more
than the big shadow of the ex-presi-
dent would then be removed.
Would it not be great thing for
one man to do to calm the threatening
storm within his party, to organize
and make easy Democratic success in
the nation? What could stand before
the united Democracy of New York
with Cleveland and Hill together at
the head?

Prevention of the Flight of Birds.

To prevent birds from flying, without
the barbarous and injurious system
sometimes practiced of cutting their
wings, it will be found sufficient to tie
together with thread three or four of
the largest feathers of one wing. This
destroys the balance, the wings do not
act symmetrically in the air, and fight
is rendered impossible. Fowls, pigeons,
etc., may be kept within bounds in this
simple fashion.-London Tit-Bits.

DIET AND HEALTH.
A Man Could Live Hardly Longer Than
Week on Asnaragus Alone

Week on Asparagus Alone.
Especial interest attaches to DR.. Sails
bury's food experiments. The half doze
sturdy fellows whom he put on a diet O
baked beans and coffee exclusively, al
showed symptoms of locomotor ataxia
or progressive paralysis, on the tent
day, and by the sixteenth day not one o
them could walk straight without sup
port; all had chronic diarrhea, hear
palpitation and oppressed breathing.
-Four hearty, well men We're put OF
oatmeal porridge-seasoned with butter
pepper and salt-with a pint of coffee
containing sugar and milk at each meal
Constipation, flatulence, headache ant
dizziness were affecting them all on the
eighth day. In two days more these con
ditions had become violent; exertion pro.
duced heart palpitation, and they were
full OF wandering pains, with prickling
in feet and hands.
These disorders grew more intense and
paintul-with neuralgia induced in three
cases-until from the twenty-third to the
twenty-ffth day, when diarrhea set in,
and the record is full of such entries as
eyes wild, hearing impaired, head con-
fused, memory poor, legs and feet numb,
quite deaf and lstless, heart palpitates
and very irregular" up to the thirtieth
day, when it was deemed imprudent and
unsafe to carry the experiments further,
and in four days more, by a meat diet
and hot water, the men were restored to
normal health. 1t may be we'll to OBJ
serve here that in all cases men expert
mented upon were as thoroughly and
quickly cured of their abnormal condi-
tons by those means.
Violent chronic diarrhea, such as often
prevails in armies and is known as
"camp diarrhea, was produced in three
hearty, strong men by feeding them ex-
clusively upon army biscuit in from nine
teen to twenty-one days-a spell of con-
stipation preceding-and microscopic
examination proved that they were liter
ally filled with yeast germs. Each had
marked symptoms of locomotor ataxia
and partly lost the use of his lower
limbs.
Bread, rice, wheaton grits, honliny,
sage, tapioca and potatoes were each fed
to four or six men at time for periods
of from forty to forty-fve days before
serious diseases and symptoms were pro.
duced. Green peas and string beans
ranked next in point of alimentary quail
ties. Green corn, turnips, beets and
squash quickly produced unpleasant and
grave arrangements, but of all vege-
tables asparagus was found most iniuri-
Gus when lived upon alone. Seven days
is about as long as it would be safe to
subsist on this plant, owing to the effect
upon the kidneys.
Patients have lived exclusively on beef
and mutton for from three to four years.
Still, if one sticks to them too long they
are liable to become monotonous, and
may cause "meat dyspepsia" which is
dangerous. People who live exclusively
On vegetable food, as the Hindoos, are
enabled to do so by inherited organic
tendencies. Their stomachs are of little |
n no use to them. The pyloric valve
being permanently paralyzed remains
,pen, SO that vegetable matter passes
lirectly into the proper field of its diges-
ion.-Ohio State Journal.

THE government is now paying
SAG, 737, $40 in pensions. At the pres
emit rate of increase another year will
see the figures run up to $4,000, 900;
and in ten years the amount will be
$500, 100000. In 1875 there were 1884,
82l pensioners on the pay rolls; in 1885
the number had grown to 345, 125, and
in 1891 the list of pensioners had in
creased to 676, 100. The question for
the people to consider is, where is
this to end, or Is it never to end at
all?

The Highland Piners.

The Highland pipers have always been
noted for bravery in action. At Porto
NoNo the Seventy-frst's piper played
with such good will that Sir Eyre Coote
called out, "Well done, my brave fell
low; you shall have pair of silver pipes
for this!' At Vimiero a piper unable to
walk coolly sat down and played, Cup
and war them a, Willie" for which the
Highland society afterward presented
him with a set of pipes. -Cornhill Maya

of noble manhood one of the finest
lawyers and most distinguished citi-

profession of the state. By his death

sudden blow that brings regret and
