the French Royalists called him Henri

A yeomanry regiment of Devonshire
was enacting sham fight, when a Cap
tain Prettyjohn was ordered to retreat
before a charge of the enemy.
"Retraitl what doth that maner in
quired the captain. "Retrait mesnth
rinning away, zim; then it shall never
be told up to Dodbrook market that
Cap'n Pridgen and his brave men rinned
away"
Accordingly, as the enemy came on,
bearing down upon him at a rapid trot
he shouted to his troop:
"Charge, my brave boys, charged Us
baint vozes and they baint houndsl

The collision, as one might guess,
was awful. Men, horses and accouter-
ments strewed the ground on every side
and several troopers were more or less
injured.-Youth's Companion.

The value of lime water about the
house In the summer can scarcely be
overestimated. To prepare it is an easy
matter, as all that is necessary is to put
u layer of unslaked lime in a wide
mouthed jar and fiji it with cold water,
There Is no danger Of using too much
lime, as the water will only take up so
much, however much is put in. It
takes only few hours for the water to
take up all the lime that is possible
After it has stood say five hours the wa
ter may be drained off and more wa
ter added until the lime is all absorbed
Acidity OF the stomach is corrected by
adding little lime water to the drink
ing water. A teaspoonful of lime water
added to glass Of milk corrects the
tendency which milk has to coagulate
in the stomach, forming a hard, indi-
gestible mass. For this reason it should
be added to the milk fed the little
children, and nursing bottles should be
rinsed with it. AS mild disinfectant
there is nothing safer or better.

Is IL q dream of some sweet unknown land.
That thrills the trembling wave far out At seai
What strange, wild longing draws resistlessly
The eager waters TO an unknown sirandf
unhindered by the tempest's mighty hand,
From lure Of sunny skies and soft winds free,
They hurry on in passionate ecstasy,
And, breaking, die upon the faithless sand.
o. restless soul, whose every yearning breath
Is full OF vague desires and sweet, dim dreams,
Across thy far horizon glows and CLEANS
The dazzling land where passion bcckoneth;
Yet shalt thou find, fair as the vision seems,
Like the lost wave upon the shore, but death.

"Why does dog run sideways or di-

6ne black Newfoundland pup Of dog
fancier the other day. well, sir, that's
question I've been asked frequently,
and after some investigation have CON
cluded the reason is that the animal has
been brought mp that way. Why does
a chicken roost on one foot, or an owl
keep its eyes wide open all night long,
or a rooster crow vigorously at the break
of early dawn, or a pig run homeward
with straws in its mouth before ap.
preaching rain? These are questions
that are as difficult to solve as some OF
the astronomical problems. "-Philadel-

Dr. Moss, of the English polar expe-
dition of 1857, among many other
things, tells Of the strange effects Of the
extreme cold upon the candles they
burned. The temperature was from 80
10 90 degs. below zero, and the doctor
says he was considerably discouraged
when upon looking at his candle he dis
covered that the fame "had all it could
do 70 keep warm" It was so cold that
the flame could not melt all of the tallow
Of the candle, but was forced TO eat its
way down, leaving a sort Of skeleton
candle standing. There was heat enough,
however, TO melt odd shaped holes in
the thin walls OF tallow, the result be-
ing a beautiful lacelike cylinder Of white
with a narrow tongue Of yellow hame
burning on the inside and sending out
many streaks Of light into the darkness.

Columbus believed the solid part of
the sphere to be larger than the liquid
part, and the distance by the sunset road
between the East Indies and western
Europe to be less than it is.
But in those two capital errors lay the
great incentive to the execution and sue
cess of his purpose. Had he known the
vast planetary spaces covered by the
waters; the continent interposed be-
tween his own Europe and the land Of
diamonds, gold and spices; the difficulty
and peril Of the passage yet to be braved
in the far regions Of the antarctic pole in
order to sail from our continental Eu-
rope to the oriental Indies by the west
ern way, he would perhaps have shrunk
back in alarm and dread.-Emilio Cas-

In discussion in London on meters
for measuring electrical energy it was
shown that in the Frager meter the
energy could be made from 800 to 400
times greater than that indicated by the
meter by simply closing and opening the
circuit at proper intervals. With a
Thomson meter it was said to be very
easy to force the readings with the aid
Of a strong magnet applied outside the
meter boxes Fraud is therefore very
easily practiced upon such meters, pro-
vided one understands them. - New

The images of the Gods in India are
not made by separate caste, but the
carpenters and masons respectively
make the large wooden and stone idols
set up in the temples, the potters the
clay idols consumed in daily worship
and the braziers, coppersmiths and gold
smiths the little images in brass, copper,
mixed metal and gold and silver that are
always kept in private homes. The East
Indians regard an alloy of brass with
six other metals-gold, silver, iron, tin
lead, making with the copper and zinc
of the brass, u mixture of light metals
as a perfect alloy, and this is highly
priced as a material for sacred images.

Wonders of FIuorine Gas.
Silicon, a crystalline substance closely
resembling the diamond exposed to
Auorine gas, gives very beautiful reac-
ton, showers of brilliant spangles being
scattered in all directions from the
white hot crystals, which are finally
melted. AS they do not fuse under
s,19O degs Fahrenheit, one can gain
some idea of the immense energy set
free during the combination. Both lime
and chalk under the same circumstances
give a most gorgeous incandescence.
Phosphorus, as one might expect, does
not fail to illustrate its powerful affinity
when exposed to the gas. Prussian blue
reacts very beautifully and burns with
pink flame. A crystal of iodine placed
in current of the gas gives a pale
flame, and heavy liquid distills over,
which etches glass and Kisses like red

more profit. Mckinley either ignored the
people, or thought damn the people"
The bill was arranged solely to increase
the revenue of the manufacturers. Every
man, woman and child in America was
forced to go down into his or her pocket
and contribute to this fund. No mans
pocket outside of that of the protected
manufacturer was saved from the rObber
hand Of the Mckinley bill. They submit
ted because they could not do otherwise
until it came their turn to vote for the
repeal of the continuation of this measure.
Then they spoke, silently but effectively.
They spoke to Major Mckinley.
And in that same congress arose Mr..
Henry Cabot Lodge who, taking the cue
from the senior senator from Maine, who
declared for bayOnet behind every bal
lot in the south, imagined he could become
famous by combining his rhetoric with
the ideas and plans of one Davenport of
New York, and prepare bill to central
iZe this government and perpetuate re-
publican rule. He prepared the not0ri-
Gus force bill and drove it through the
house in gallop under the gag rules of
his Maine chicftain. 1t failed of passage by
the shrewd craftsmanship and manipula-
ton of democratic senators. But MIR.
Lodge and his party continued to push
it. In the meantime its provisions and
its effects were studied by the people.
Intended to be an iron heel upon the
neck of the south, the north and west saw
that conditions might so change as to
place the heel upon other sections,
and the entire country arose and repudi-
ated it. The people of this country do not
forget the basis upon which our govern
ment was founded. 1t was intended as Il
government Of the people, by the people
and for the people. They spoke out for
this. They spoke out against an Oligar-
chy, against q centralized government,
against the force bill.

A New Generation.

During the dark days of reconstruction
many hopeful democrats predicted that
the rising generation would repudiate the
Russian methods Of the party in power,
and restore the government Of our faith
ers.
At each national election it was hoped
that the young men who had grown up
since the close Of the war would make
their Influence felt on the side of peace
and fraternity. But the years rolled by
and the majority of the new generation
voted with the sectional partiSanS who
continued their old crusade against the
south. Good men became dishcartened.
They did not take into consideration the
fact that it would require time to enamel
pate Young America from the ideas and
passions of the war.
Time with his gentle healing touch has
gradually effaced the scars OF our great
struggle, and last Tuesday millions of
young voters throughout the north and
west went to the polls on q mission of
pea'e and loyalty. These new men-the
young democracy-had known nothing Of
DdSSICIltbtC p'il vi 1AiiA y N''AN'
ago. They saw their brethren of the
south honoring the same flag and loyal
to the same union. They saw q country
inviting the united work Of the capital
and enterprise OF both sections, and they
said: This is o goodly heritage. 1t is
ours; let us enter upon it and enjoy the
rich fruition of our labor" With this
central idea in their minds, these new
voters came together.
All the world knows the result. Along
the bleak hill-sidcs Of the north. on the
broad prairies of the great west, these
marching millions inspired by a noble
patriotism massed themselves at the polls
and never paused nor wayered until their
shower Of ballots had finally and forever
buried the party of sectionalism-the
party Of hate!
1t detracts nothing from the shining ner-
it's of our old and tried leaders and their
veteran followers to pay this tribute to
the young democracy. 1t is a sign OF
promise to see the new generation on
deck. 1t means that the old war issues
are dead and buried for all time to
come. 1t means that the differences be-
tween the sections are as completely blot
ted out as the old quarrel between the
