The coat of arms of Kentucky is two
men standing with clasped hands under
the motto, United we stand, divided we
fall" One of these men ON the coat of
arms should be given his walking papers
and woman put In his place. The
world is growing older and wiser, and
the decree has gone forth that women
are one-half the people. The decree has
not reached Kentucky yet, but it is on
the way, and when it arrives the Ken
lucky legislature will order new coat
of arms for the state, man and wom-
an clasping hands under the motto,
Omitted we stand, divided we fall"
People grow in this world, whether
they want to or not; and the day is COM
ing when Kentucky men will stand
shoulder to shoulder with the men of
Wyoming on the question of equal
rights. 1t is only matter of education.

Eastern and Western Swimmers,


The seashore is supposed to be the
home of fine swimmers, but as a matter
of fact the denizens of the coast cannot
compare in this respect with our south
westerners. l have seen it tried time
and again, and always with the same
result Men from Missouri, Illinois,
Kansas and Texas are, almost without
exception, fieeter and more graceful
swimmers than those who were born
and brought up on the New England
coast. The reason for this is the differ
ence between fresh and salt water.
When one who has learned to swim in
fresh water gets into the ocean he feels
as if he could never become wearied
The denser water so buoys his limbs that
they appear to weigh nothing and, he is
astonished at the speed he attains.
Another notable fact is that the pro-
portion of men bred on the seaboard
than among inlanders. At New Bed
ford, famous shipping point, not one
sailor in five can swim and the same is
true of other points on the New England
coast. With the people from the south
west, certainly with those who We're
bred in the country, the nonswimmer is
an exception. The cause of this is that
the weather is warm enough for out
door bathing during more months of the
year in the southern and southwestern
states than on the sea coast, and scarcely
a farmers boy is unacquainted with the
art. In one respect alone are the east
erners ahead and that is in their lady
swimmers, with whom we have few to
compete.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Here in the central West the Repub-

Here in the central West the Repub-
licans can count on nothing surely. In
diana is now opposed to Harrison.
There is little doubt that there is now
in the state a plurality of at least 20,
600 against him. The Democratic
chances of carrying Illinois and Wis
consin are better than the chances of the
Republicans. Iowa is at least as apt to
give its electoral vote to Cleveland as it
is to return to the Republican party.
The Democrats will divide the vote of
Michigan, and in Kansas and Nebraska
Harrison is fighting both the Democrats
and the third party people of the far
mers' alliances.
Where then do the custom-house and
post office Republicans expect to get an
electoral majority? The blocks-of-fve
system cannot be successfully used over
such territory as this when the people
have been educated to such a knowledge
of its workings as they gained from the
Harrison campaign of 1888 in Indiana,
and in the absence of such means of
control Harrison is beaten three months
before the polls open.-St. Louis Re

Volta, an Italian, made the discovery
that two or more different metals are
necessary in the production of electric
ity. He constructed the "battery" or
pile of silver and zinc, with several lay
ers of moistened paper between them,
and with this simple experiment he pro-
duced all the same effects of electricity
and currents as powerful as electricity
produced by friction of glass and sui
phur or by amber. This is the origin of
what was known as the "voltaic pile, "
which was improved by experimenting
with Other substances, and by Volta
himself.
Instead of the two pieces of metal and
moistened paper, he placed metal ships
in cups of water and produced grand re.
suits Very little improvement has been
made in the voltaic pile, and today it is
little changed from its first invention

Where Organ Grinders Concreeate.

The industry-if that word can be
used in such connection-of organ grind
ing is one of considerable extent. This
city limits the number of licenses to 800
at dollar each. This does not by any
means cover the number of Italians who
at certain seasons of the year live here
and make their living by grinding. Like
theatrical people, these grinders make
New York their headquarters, and Null
berry bend is their Rialto. There on
any sunny, warm morning they may be
seen lounging indifferently along the
narrow, crowded street, stopping to say
a word with the pretty black eyed girl
who sells ice cream for a cent glass, or
to borrow cigarette from passing
acquaintance.
In this latter respect alone they resem-

The average prices of wool in the
United States have always been higher
when tariff duties We're low than when
tariff duties were high, says the Phila-

protectionist journals cannot explain
satisfactorily, and they therefore geaer.
ally avoid mentioning it, But they do
not intermit their efforts to make the
wool growers believe that, however it
may have been in the past, for the fu-
ture nothing will prevent the ruin of
the domestic wool industry but persist
ent high duties upon imported wools.-

The Groom Was All Right.

A lady once sent me message that
her footman had not been confirmed and
that she would like him to join some
confirmation classes which were just
being formed. One of my colleagues
went to call on her with a view of
making the necessary arrangements
Just as he was leaving it suddenly oc-
CURED to her that she had a groom, and
very likely he was not confirmed either
So she rang the bell and told the butler
to go over to the stables and find out
whether James had been confirmed. In
few minutes the man returned and
stolidly announced: "Yes, miss, it's all
right. He's been done twice" OF course
he meant vaccinated.-Cornhill Maga-

was trying to get to it. She begged and
entreated the conductor to carry her tC
that point, where, she said, she had
friends who would pay him well for his
trouble.
"You must pay your fare or get off the
train," said the conductor bluntly.
"You certainly will not be so inhuman
as to keep me from reaching my dying
child?" said the woman as the tears
came to her eyes.
The conductor reached for the bell
cord as the engine whistled for small
station. The passengers began to grow
indignant, and there was talk of col
lection to pay the woman's fare, when
the conductor, taking the woman by the
arm, said in loud voice: "This woman
is spotter. Seven years ago she caused
the discharge of several conductors on
the Lake Shore road, to whom she told
this story and who carried her free.
regret to say that was one of the con-
ductors, and l do not propose to be
caught again"
Without word the woman got up
and left the train when it stopped, and
the indignation Of the passengers melted
away as she disappeared. indianapolis
