The less their party organs have to
say about the Republican members Of
the House pulling Mr.. Cleveland out of d
hole by their votes on the Stewart free
coinage bill, the more prudent it will be
for them. 1t was the Republican Senate
that tried 20 put him into hole, and
Dir. Harrison along with him and Sena-
tor Higgins aided in this by absenting
himself on the day the vote was taken,
pairing off with brother senator who
debonairly transferred his end of the
pair to some other absentee and cast his
vote for the Stewart bill. Besides it is
by no means certain that President Har-
risen would have vetoed the Stewart bill
had il passed the House. His son,
Russell, has editorialIy expressed the
conviction, in his Montana paper, that,
under the provisions u the Minneapolis
platform, no Republican executive
would venture to defeat with his veto
free coinage bill coming to him with
the approval Of both houses Of Con
grcss. And it is matter of common
report that Mr. Reed was influenced in
his leadership Of the Republican side
by well FOUNDED tear that President
Harrison would not veto the Stewart
bill if it got through the House.

his own pocket at the same time. They

The proposal of Senator Higgins to
commence a furious commercial war
upon our Canadian neighbors by in
creasing the tariff on their products be-
trays an amusing anxiety to divert pub.
lie attention from the very instructive
lesson the American workingmen are
just now receiving in the attempt of
Carnegie and Pinkerton to adjust the
scale of wages in protected industries
by means of Winchester rifles.
Perhaps, too, his belligerence toward
Canada is meant to placate the Repub-
lican Presidential nominee, for an al
legged want of good faith in the Della
ware delegation at Minneapolis.
But will no one inform this CONNER
cial warrior and statesman that all bills
touching the revenues must, under the
constitution, originate in the House OF
Representatives?

There is an object lesson for the
American Industrial and Shipping
League in the experience of the Italian
government, detailed in recent report
by Consul-general Bourn, of Rome, re-
speeding the practical operation of the
shipping bounty system in that country
The year 1880 is the most recent for which
complete figures are attainable. During
that year 1851 ,053 was paid out in boun-
ties to steamers and sailing vessels and
S6O,i62 was paid as subsidy for the
retitting of old vessels. Yet the figures
show that the Italian merchant marine
has been dwindliug instead of incrcas-
ing. In 1888 there were, of steam and
sailing vessels of all classes from one
ton upward, 7,471 sailing under the
Italian flag, having an aggregate regis
tration Of 973,333 tons. In 1889 the
number Of vessels had dropped to 6,721
and the aggregate tonnage to S24, 474.
This could not have been due to general
conditions of trade, for during the period
referred to the English merchant ma.
rine-only an insigniflcantly small per.
centage of which receives any public
money-made great increases.

quently in diseases.
Grind up the Zones from the meat you
use for the table, leaving some of the
meat on the bones, both being essential
at intervals. Hens lay better if thus
fed twice or three times week.
The earthen drinking fountain is the
eleanest and most convenient when water
must be carried to flock of fowls. The
water remains cool longer in earthen-
ware than in tin. A running stream is
best of all.
The Silky fowl is toy, yet many ad-
mire it for its odd appearance. The hens
lay we'll, but their eggs are not largo.
Their feathers are like lair, standing up
straight. Their wattles and combs are

Cats Are Independent Animals.

The cats spirit of independence, in
deed, is the most distinct characteristic
of her nature. AS Nine. dc Custine
rightly said, the cats great difference
from, and, according to her sentiments,
superiority to, the dog lies in her calm
insistence on selection which invariably
accompanies her apparent docility. To
the dog proprietorship is mastership; he
knows his home, and he recognizes with
out question the man who has paid for,
feeds and, on occasions, kicks him with
all the easy familiarity of ownership. He
follows that man undoubting and un-
noticed, grateful for word, even thank
full for an oath. But the cat is crea-
ture of very different stamp. She will
not even stoop to conquer, nor be
tempted out Of her nature by offers of
reward. She absolutely declines in
struction; nay, even persuasion is lost
upon her for any permanent effect it may
be designed to have. You may be the
legal possessor of u cat, but you cannot
govern her affections. Ron.

Russia Appreciates the Sunfiower.

The sunfower could not have been
first cultivated in Russia or other coun-
tries Of Europe, for it is native of
America and unknown to the eastern
world. 1t is quite probable, however, that
the sunfower was cultivated here for its
seeds thousands of years before the l.
vent of Europeans, for this plant is found
widely distributed over North and South
America. While the cultivation of the
sunAower is being neglected in this
country, it is on the increase in many
European countries, as well as in China.
The seeds are highly valued for feeding
pigs, poultry, sheep and cattle. The oil
expressed from the seed is equal to, olive
oil for almost any purpose. In Russia
the seeds are sold in the streets as pea
nuts are sold here.-New York Sun.

SEED CORN.

In all manner OF farming it is most i'm
portant that good seed, fully matured
and kept in the safest way should be
secured. A wise farmer will raise and
keep in safety as many of his own seeds
as may be necessary. The present is
perhaps the best time of the year to save
seed corn of every sort. Select ears that
are well filled out at each end and such
as show no mixture. Corn will mix from
forty to eighty rods apart. While husk-
ing corn throw out every extra good ear
and from these again make selection of
the best. Let few husks remain on the
ear and. then trace them up by dozens
and hang them up where no rodents can
get at them; but not in granary where
wheat and oats are stored, as the emana-
tions from these will destroy the germ
mating principle. Secure at least twice
as much as you expect to use. Some
sluggard will pay SO per bushel for it.

GO0seberry Rats.

G. Reade, in the Zoologist, says that
the ripe gooseberries in his garden were
disappearing very rapidly this year, and
he supposed that the mischief was being
done by blackbirds. However, his at
tention was called to large rat taking
the berries off with his mouth and drop
ping them to other rats below. Pres
emily another climbed the tree and
helped to gather the berries. In little
time both came down each with berry
in its mouth, having curious appear
ance. Mr.. Reade saw the performance
several times repeated. Then he placed
a wire cage under the tree, and in three
days caught nine of the iutruders.

Military BallOOning.

Most people will remember the un-
lucky fate of NJ. Eugene Turpin, the
wcll-known French scientific man who
invented melinite--that terrible explo-
sive-and who about twelve months ago
was sentenced by military court to five
years imprisonment, in connection with
the trials for treason instituted by the
Ministry of War.
Turpin accepted his fate uncomplain-
ingly and it appears that he has been at
work, so far as the prison regulations
would allow, since his conviction. He
is at present in house of detention at
Etampes, where he is allowed pretty
large. liberty for studying military science
and aeronautics. He is even allowed to
write to the papers, and a recent journal
expresses regret that valuable discov-
cries such as Turpin claims to have made
should be dated from between prison
walls.
Among other things, he processes
to have at last solved the difficult prob
lem of aerial navigation by the construc-
tion of balloon which can be guided &C
cording to the will of the occupant. He
hopes to attain speed of forty kilome-
tres an hour.
In aLother field of aerostatics-namely,
military Electromagnetic imprisoned en-
gineer has been studying an apparatus
for making pure hydrogen gas, which
will require only one-ninth part of the
machinery now in use--an important
consideration when on the march.
A new fuse for shells when used at
sea, which prevents the projectiles from
exploding from rcochets on the water,
is also among the inventions to which
Turpin has devoted much time. New
