Kill the Ubiquitous Force Bill,

The force bill is the livest issue the
Republicans have, but it is temporarily
put under cover by the cowardly Repub-
lican press for fear its unpopularity will
lose votes for Harrison in November.
All patriots who have faith in the bless
ings of peace and believe in the SOW
ereignty of the people and the freedom
of our institutions should keep the issue
prominently in sight and kill the force

Republican organs are exulting over
the news that Mr.. Powderly has come
out for Harrison, claiming him as new
convert. MIR. Powderly has always
been an extreme protectionist. He de-
clared at meeting at Cooper institute
IN New York that if there were a hair in
his head that was not for protection he
would pluck it out. Mr.. Powderly is
better understood among workingmen

HIS TIME WAS VALUABLE.
A California Banker Paid One Dollar a
Minute by an Insurance Agent.

A California Banker Paid One Dollar a
Minute by an Insurance Agent.
For two or three years a tall young
man representing an eastern life insur-
ance company has been staying from
time to time at San Francisco hotel.
His name was Fennen and many peo-
pie have been smiling audibly lately
over an experience he had. One morn
ing recently; according to the San Fran
cisco Examiner story, he rushed into
the Anglo-Californian bank and said to
the president, who was very busy
writing:
81 would like to see you. sir, just for
a few minutes"
81 can't talk to you this morning."
said the president. "My time is too
valuable. I've got an immense amount
of work to do and can't possibly stop
Minutes are money to me now"
"What is your time worth, anyway?''i
demanded the agent, with slight asper-
ity, lily concealing his disappointment.

banker with equal promptness.
''Al right" said the agent, reaching
into his pocket and drawing forth a
twenty-dollar gold piece. 'Tn take
twenty of them and talk twenty min!
;utes."
go ahead" said the man of moneys
raking down the coin.
Then the insurance man rolled off a
beautiful story with scarcely punctu-
alton mark in it, the banker all the
time holding his watch.
"You can't insure me-" said the
banker.
"All right; but you listen," was the
response.
He talked till the full twenty minutes
were up. Then the fnancier put his
time piece in his pocket, firm as ever to
his conviction that he needed no insur-
'ance. Moreover, he kept the twenty
dollars
Mr.. Fennel went away Disguised.

Man's Bravery.

| A daring deed was performed on the
Savannah, Americas & Montgomery
road by Engineer Bradford. His en-
gine was standing four miles from,
Hurtsboro when he discovered smoke
coming from large pile Of light wood
in the tender. The blaze grew hotter
and there wasn't enough water to,
quench it nearer than Hurtsboro. Brad,
ford saw that the engine would be
burned II Hurtsboro was not reached,
and leaping aboard he cut loose from
the cars and started on the run. The,
engine fairly few along and the res
inous light wood roared and cracked.
AS the speed increased so did the fire
and the heat; and streaming along
behind was a seething mass of flame
forty feet in length. The heat in the
cab was SO great that Bradford had to
wrap his cap around the throttle to
hold it. He pulled up to the water
tank at Hurtsboro and in few minutes
had the fire extinguished with but
slight damage to the engine. Bradford
was badly burned on the side. Such
deeds of heroism are rare indeed.

PROGRESSIVE HAMMocklNo.
A Western Girl Invents Very Unique

Game.
The young people in one of st. Louis
prettiest suburbs are in state of fever
ish excitement over a new game that
has been devised by some of their num-
Der, says the Globe-Democrat. 1t is
called progressive hammocking," and
is so full of golden opportunities in q
sentimental way that it is destined to
become very popular with the youth Of
both sexes.
A bright young gira, to whom, with
several others, is dueithe credit of hav-
ing given this new diversion to the
world, thus describeslit:
"You see, each GIRLS provided with
hammock, in which she reclines, grace
fully or ungracefulIy, according to the
extent of her experience in hammocking,
during the game. The hammocks are
hung far enough apart so that no one
can see or hear her neighbors, and
above each is suspended Chinese
lantern with a number on it; but these,
of course, will be blown out early in the
proceedings. A chaperon is required
preferably two-a lady and a gentle
man. To start the game the boys draw
numbers from a hat, and then each
hunts up the hammock which CORE
spends to the number drawn. At
given signal he begins to tell the girl
In it n love story. By the rules the
stories must be impersonal.
But of course they won't be. That"
she added with laugh, sis a matter
that lies with the story teller and his
conscience. Well, at the end of fifteen
minutes the chaperon beats tom-tom
and the boys move up one hammock,
and each tells another story to a new
listener. The stories, mind you, must
all be diferent-that is, one cannot tell
the same story to two girls"
"And they must all be love stories?''
asked the reporter.
Certainly. Oh, it's more fun. The
boys out there are securing the town
for short love stories. De Maupassant
is in great demand. But some of them
draw on their own experience for ma
terial. Well, when the rounds have
been made, and each of the six, say,
| has told six amorous tales to six tender
maidens a secret ballot is taken, the
girls voting for the best story-teller and
| the boys for the best listener. That's
where the real funny part comes in,
for, Of course, each girl will vote for
the man she likes best, and vice versa;
hence the chaperon will become the
sacred repository of one-half dozen true
love tales"
what about the prizes?'
"There will be six first prizes on
each side, and no boobies" and the fail
schemer laughed heartily at the success
| of her efforts to devise something new
and startling in the way of summer
| amusement

Cannda,s Minerals.

Canada will make remarkable display
of her mineral resources at the worlds
fair. The province of Ontario has deter
mined on making large exhibit of all
the minerals found in that province, and
Quebec has resolved not to be behind
her sister province in this respect. Nova
Scotia, so rich in mineral we alth, is also
actively engaged, in bringing together
specimens of her richest deposits. 1t is
expected that the gold ores of Nova
Scotia will surprise many of the visitors
to the worlds fair, while the samples
from her coal fields will afford some
idea of the wonderful resources of the
province in that particular. The
asbestos, mica, plumbago and phos-
phate deposits will form prominent
features in the Quebec exhibit; while
the rich nickel ores, for which Ontario
is now so famous, will receive much at
tention from that province The
dominion geological survey will make a
very. fine exhibit, which will afford
facilities for studying the mineral re-
sources of the country, on either the
limited provincial basis or from the

Small Bombs for the Use of Farmers
Needing Rain.
A company engaged in the manufac-
ture of explosives has for sale now
small bombs about the size of frank
furter sausages, with which the far
mer can bring down small showers Of
rain whenever he sees clouds over his
land.
The constituents of the bomb are di-
vided into two parts, liquid and solid,
which are both separately nom
explosive. These can be kept separate
until the time comes to use them, when
they are mixed.
The solid part is about an inch in di-
ameter and eight inches in length, and
is wrapped in cotton. These bombs are
placed in grooved tin boxes. each hold
ing ten. A small tin measure, contains
ing the liquid part, accompanies each
box. 1t is graduated to show the guam
tity needed to saturate the bomb to the
exploding point
Five or fifty bombs may be used, &c
cording to the amount of rain needed or
defamation required. How the farmer
is to know how much defamation is
needed is dubious matter. The bombs
are tied in q bundle, q time-fuse is at
tached and the whole lot discharged
from a mortar and at the passing cloud.
In hilly countries clouds often pass
over the valleys and discharge their
contents on the barren mountain sides.
In such regions, it Is said, the bombs
will be particularly useful.

THERE IS one queer phase of human
nature in this enlightened age which it
is difficult to understand and deplorable
to contemplate. 1t is the slavish re-
gard some people entertain for the
superstition that certain charms or
amulets will ward off disease. Intel
igent persons have been known to
wear potatoes with holes bored through,
them, so as to form gigantic finger,
rings, for the cure Of rheumatism, while
others carry potatoes in their pockets
for the same purpose. AS for the ''bucle-
eye" thousands swear by it.

PHoNoGRAPHs FOR DEAFNESS
A Washington Physician Introduces tn,
Instrument in His Practice.

A Washington Physician Introduces the
Instrument in His Practice.
When Edison invented the phono-
graph he used the human ear as q
guide, and the construction Of that ma
chine involved the mechanical design
upon which the ear is fashioned.
Probably he had no idea of applying
the invention to the cure of deafness,
but science has begun to do that. A
well-known Washington physician Is a
believer in the photograph as remedy
for that affection. Experiments at
home strengthened his belief, and he
has introduced the photograph into his
practice. Deafness in most cases, the
doctor says, comes from catarrh. The
passage from the throat to the ear be-
comes choked and coating forms on
the bones of the ear which lnterferes
with vibration. AS this coating thicl5ens
and hardens the vibratory power be-
comes less, and when it ceases the
function of the ear drum is suspended.
The doctors idea is that vibratory force
applied to the ear by means of phono-
graph must quicken the ear drum and
affect the coating of the inner bones.
Gradually this coating must be dis
lodged, and with the completion of that
process hearing will be restored. This
may happen in the majority of cases
in about two months, he thinks, with
daily treatment of twenty minutes
duration. He has prepared variety OF
cylinders to produce different sound eff
fects. The intensity of the vibrations
is under the control of the operator, sc
that treatment may be varied as neces
sary. The sensation is said by the New
Orleans Times-Democrat to be pleasant
to the deaf. To persons of normal
hearing the sounds rumble and clattel
like the noise of railroad train.
Musical cylinders are not suited to the
treatment, although in certain cases
bugle calls, concert solosand the chimes
of loud bells may be used to advantage

Personal Magnetism.

Among the most powerful of unseen
forces is personal magnetism. Two
men address an assembly on the same
topic, and in nearly the same words;
one is listened to with Indifference, if
at all, the other stlrs to every fiber of
our being, and our souls thrill respon-
sive to his ightest touch. 1t is not
what we hear, nor is it graceful pose or
elegant diction. 1t is nothing compre-
hensive or tangible, but an invisible,
mysterious force, which we aclznowl-
edge and yield to, even against our con-
victions and reason. This strange at
tribute is not hereditary nor can it be
acquired. Of two brothers or sisters,
born of the same parents, growing up
under the same influences and amid the
same environments, one will possess
this singular gift, another have not a
vestige of it. Fortunate is he who pos
sesses this most happy faculty.

ESKIMOS AT THE FAIR.
Natives Of the Far North to Be
Brought to Chicago.
An Expedition Under Way to Secure FIFTY
People from Cumberland Sound-A
Duplicate Village to Be Built at
the Exposition Grounds.

DR.. franz Boas has started out to &C,
company an expedition that is going to
Cumberland sound to bring q party OF
Eskimos to Chicago. They will form
one of the attractions of the depart
ment of ethnology, under the charge Of
Prof. Putnam. The expedition will go
from ST. Johns, N. F., to Baffin Land
early next week for the purpose of in
ducing about fifty natives to come to
Chicago. Arriving there they will be
given q small section of jackson park
reserved for q village, such as they in
habit in the far north. Huts will, be
erected in exact duplication of those in
habited by the Eskimos in their native
land, and collection of hunting inn
plements, peculiar household utensils
and many specimens of their strange
handiwork will be shown in the village.
Prof Putnam has not decided yet upon
definite plans for regulating the wealth
er to suit these visitors, but it is prob.
able that a system similar to that en-
ployed in cold storage establishments
will be used.
The expedition of DIR. Boas is likely
to prove successful, for if any white
man can induce the Eskimos to leave
is professor in an eastern college. He
has passed several years among the ma
tives, living with them in their huts,
going with them on fishing and hunting
expeditions, and endeavoring as far as
possible to adapt himself to their un-
usual mode of life He is acquainted
with large number of the natives and
is said to exert an unusual influence
over them. While living among these
people DIR, Boas carefully studied their
language and religion, as well as their
manner of living. He says these peo-
pie always locate their huts where the
opportunities for trapping sea dogs are
best and where ice plains are most ex-
tensive. In winter they live in large
tribes, but during the summer months
they scatter in all directions and hunt
reindeer.
The Baffin bay Eskimos do not re-
gard the Greenland god Tornarssuk as
the greatest of the gods, but their SUI
perior deity is Sedna, who gives them
their greatest blessings. Whoever
obeys him fully will succeed in his un-
dertalxings, and if he is drowned OF
meets with violent death he is trans
ferred in an instant to the happy land
where there is no ice nor snow and
where great herds of reindeer feed on
every hill, all of them eager to be

Question of the method of administer
on goods imported for use at the worlds
fair, which has been under consideration
by the officials ut Washington, was set
tied by the adoption of the policy sug-
gested by Collector Clark, who received
n communication to that effect from AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury
Spaulding recently. Provision will be
made for the inspection of goods at
the fair grounds by the worlds fair di-
rectors, who will give receipt to the
collector of customs, describing the
goods, their nature and place of de-
posit, and at the close of the fair returns
will be made accordingly.
Exhibits will be received duty free,
and what shall constitute an exhibit
will be decided by the directory. Goods
which are to be sold on the grounds
will be stored in warehouses on the
grounds and duty paid as goods are
drawn. Exhibits sold subject to de-
livery at the close of the fair will have
duty collected when purchaser takes
possession. Exhibits are to be immedi-
ately placed in their proper department
and kept there. This method, it is
thought, will do away with the trouble
experienced at Philadelphia, where the
customs authorities collapsed entirely
from having neglected to draw dis
tinct line between exhibits and dutiable
merchandise
