TWO EXPERIMENTS.
Easily Performed and Amusing ms Well
Instructive.
Prank Lesaes Weekly

Prank LesIie's Weekly.
\ pretty and simple experiment. quite
easy TO try now that the warm sun has
brought so many flowers popping out on
their little stems, is 10 change the colors of
cut flowers. And. lovely and delicate as
the colors are In their natural hues, they
VIII alter TO others as lovely without injury
to the fewer Put . or 10 cents worth of
ordinary aqua ammonia IN a saucer, stand
a small funnel, large end down, over this.
and Ia the small end insert the flower you
wish 10 change. Then be little patient
and yer will see what you will see soon. /
shall be glad 10 hear from the boys and girls
who try this pretty trick. il they will write
me all that happens. And can any one tell
why it happens?
Another experiment. rather more difficult
TO try and quite different, is to stand two
glasses as nearly alike as possible close
together on a wooden table. Fill them
about one-quarter fun of water, and then
pour more water. little by little, into either
one or the other until they both give out the
same musical note when lightly touched
with the blade OF knife. In other words
tune them together. Across the top of one
glass place piece Of fine, thin wire, slightly
bent at both ends; then make the second
glass sing by rubbing the rim with one wet
finger, aud IN a moment you will see the
wire on the first glass dancing and jumping
about in most amusing manner. keeping
time to the music and clicking castanet-
like accompaniment the while One glass
vibrates because it is rubbed; the other
quiyers from sympathy, the water ripples
in tiny waves and the little wire gayly re
SpOnlS To the tune.

ISSUE BEFORE THE WAR.

The CALL is asked why. if the Demo
cratic tariff of 1876 was so disastrous to the
country, the Wing party should have been
so BADLY beaten in 1882 the tariff of 1916
being still in force. Also why, if the rev.
enue tariff was working badly, the Repub-
licans in 1856 did not put demand for
higher duties in their platform. The defeat
aud practical annihilation of the Whig
party in 1852 has been variously accounted
for. The hero of the Mexican War was the
Wing candidate for the Presidency. He
represented the annexation element OF the
Whig party, and his nomination was re-
garded in the North as a partial indorse-
ment of the policy which led 80 the anneXa-
tion of Texas. Henry Clay had been beaten
in 1874 on the annexation issue, and Taylor
elected in 1S4S. partly as military hero and
partly as a representative of the policy Of
annexation. When Scott was nominated
in 1852 the Northern wing of the party
thought that their party loyalty had
been subjected TO too severe test. The
South was debating nominations, and the
North was expected to elect the candidates.
The sentiment which nominated Fremont in
1856 mad much TO do with the defeat of Scott
in 1852. The tariff issue was not much
thought of. The lines between the protec-
tive and the free-trade policies were not
drawn as they now are. The people had
no such grand object lessons in protection
as they have since had. The stanchest
friends of protection had little idea Of what
it would do for the country. Our corre-
spOndent continues:
j can remember no agitation for higher tariff
when Fremont was the first Republican cand-
date for the Presidency. aud see it stated that
..f~FE
The still lower tariff of 1857 was passed by a
Republican House. of which Banks was Speaker
Mr. Banks was Speaker Of the House in
the 1hirty-fourth Congress, which expired
March 4, 1857. The next House was Demo-
cratic, and was presided over by James l..
Orr Of South Carolina. 1t was the Thirty
fifth Congress which reduced the tariff Of
1916. William Pennington Of New Jer-
sey was Speaker OF the Thirty-SiXth
Congress, Galusha A. Grow OF the Thirty
seventh and Schuyler COlfax OF the Thirty
eighth, Thirty-ninth and Fortieth. James
q. Blaine was Speaker during the succeed
ing three Congresses. When Fremont was
the candidate in 1856 nothing was thought
of but the question OF slavery. Whether
the STAKEHOLDER should be allowed TO take
his slaves into free territory and there hold
them under the constitution was the all
absorbing issue. Politicians on both sides
then saw the clouds of an impending con-
fiict rising. and little thought was given to

W HAT CANADA WILL Do.

1t is reported that Canada will take no
action in respect to the matter Of canal tolls,
as 1t expects next year to be independent Of
American canals. They will pay the tolls
imposed the rest OF the year, and next
spring use their own canals. This may be a
very good policy as far as II goes, but il does
not cover all the ground In dispute between
the two countries. When the President
cannot retaliate by imposing tolls on Cana
dian products passing through American
canals it may occur TO him that the priyi-
lege OF transporting merchandise across the
line under bonds should be conditioned
upon the observance by Canadians Of their
agreement in respect to the American use Of
Canadian canals. The recent proclamation
OF tie President does not exhaust the
American power of reprisal.

STANFORD AND SILVER COINAGE.

1t has been understood in California that
Senator Stanford favored the free coinage
of silver in our mints That il, he has
favored a policy which would enable per-
sons having silver bullion 10 receive for sill
yer which was worth at the time but about
seventy cents a one-dollar coin. Again. he
has favored project for the Government TO
issue kind of paper money. which would
be loaned to applicants On nearly every
species Of security for per cent per an
mum. 1t was supposed this project was
devised to favor Senator Stahfori's aspra-
tions for the Presidency and TO enable the
company of which he was president to paw
its vast indebtedness with but small
amount OF money. 1t is now said that Sem
aior Stanford has been confronted with
these schemes in Europe, and that he is not
over popular with those who hold Central
and Southern Pacific Railroad securities.

what His Lordship Doesn't Know.
Inr.Ion nagl,,


The lIst-already long one-of the
things that Lord Coleridge is not supposed
TO know, has received Two notable addl
tioBs at the Derbpshire AssiZes. A Witness
in cross-examination stated that he had ex-
pressed the opinion that a certain bill for
stoves was "a warm one" Excuse NV
Ignorance" interrupted the Lord Chief
Justice, "but what does warm mean ?''
The answer was warm for them who ara
so foolish as to think they can buy at the
price and have dividend" ''If you said
observed the still unenlightened Judge1
that 1t would be warm for the stoves. [
could understand. Did you mean that ?"
but the only reply was II cannot saw"
Shortly afterward the same witness ad-
mitted that he might have said "If it ca tches
on IL will increase our takings." This
again provoked the learned Judge to put
the question. What do you mean by
catches onp "opens the eyes of the pub.
lie. my lord was the reply Catches on
to the public so as to open their eyes ?"
suggested the Lord Chief Justice, inouir-
ingly. shows what price they have 10

here the Lord Chief Justice seems TO nave
given the thing up in despair.

The cholera is at the gates of Londo

The cholera is at the gates OF London.
Two cases are reported at Gravesend.
Gravesend is within thirty miles OF London,
and traffic up the Thames and also by rail-
way Is constant between point and point.
Gravesend has only few thousands Of
population, but London has 100000. Yet
practically these two centers are contigu-
Gus. So London may have the cholera in
day and the rest cf the earth In week or
two. The cholera in London means dis
semination along welI-known lines of
travel. But there is this assurance, that In
England the precautions are exceedingly
careful, and the sanitation of England is
better than that OF any country in Europe.
Ii is this assurance which enables England
to face visitation of cholera with COM
parative equanimity. Not SO with many
parts OF Germany and France, where the
very rudiments of sanitation have yet to be
learned. With all this panic in Europe
America ought to be on its guard.
II may ehartably be hored that the guns
OF the Monterey, en- route from the East to
the West, will not fall into q ditch some
where by reason OF the slender trestles
which have to support so great a weight.
Ihree guns which are being moved for the
Monterey weigh, with sundry bellcose con-
eomltants, 200short tons. and the possibility
IS that somewhere, across bridges con-
structed for light traffic on the unforeseen
principle OF nothing more than is necessary
lor the time being. they might fall by the
way and never be heard of more In me-
chanics. 1t is too true that many Of the
american bridges and trestle stretches need
strengthening They were constructed for
the traffic of the tire and the traffic has
outgrown the time. 1t Is almost q patriotic
prayer TO pray that the guns OF the Monte
rey may pass over the railroad route safely.
1t would also be patriotic to pray that when
ever they are fired on board ship no harm
may be done 10 the crew on the vessel; and
as to the enemy, let the enemy have the full
effect OF a heavy bang. Happily the United
States has no enemies.
IL is almost too good news to hope that
DR.. Haffkine OF New York. q student In the
Pasteur Institute, has discovered a method
OF suppressing or checking cholera, similar
to that followed In vaccination or inocula-
tion for hydrophobia. DR.. Hafflline is re-
ported to have followed the same lines Of

n Sad Meeting After Many Year.
Memphis Commercial. Aug. 8.

o.
An affecting scene occurred nj tho ;au
yesterday. 1t was the meeting of Colonial
Ii. Clay King aud Mrs. Hunter, his sister
who resides in Texas and whom he bac nnt
seen for 80 years. She married at an earIv
age, left Tennessee for Texas with her hus-
yesterday set foot in Memphis. Even mem
bers of the family did not expect her. but II
seems that she was unable to endure the
thought OF her brother being led 10 so awfnl
death without at least bidding him good
by. Mrs. Hunter left her Texas home on
wednesday and reached the city Yesterday
By the afternoon train, on the iron Monn-
tain Hallway. She went almost imme-
diately to the Jail. Colonel King is NOT
easily moved 10 tears, but lie wopt like n

the books and some parcels and conveyed
them to Scotland Yard. And here comes
the pith of the story. The lady applied the
following day for her precious books and
got them. 1t was suggested that she should
pay certain quite adequate sum as recon-
pense TO the cabman. But the lady was in
dignant. That sum, she averred, did not in
any degree represent the percentage due on
the enormous value of the tones. They
were worth something stupendous. She
mentioned what Quaritch valued them at.
And quite cheerfuly she paid sum that
made a comfortable nest-egg for the cab
man. She also made the Scotland Yard
official understand something about books
that he hadn't a notion OF before.

COURT NOTES.

The California Horseshoe Company has again
been sued by one of its employees; this time by
Charles Mullin Jr. for $4,000 damages for
having had MS arm torn from his body by de-
PENDANTS machinery on June l3, 1892.
Tie contest OF the will OF Thomas Day was
brought 10 a conclusion late on Thursday even-
ing in Judge COtfey's court. Fraud had been
charged against Mrs. Annie Symmes by her
brother, but after her testimony the court held
that the allegations TO that effect were entirely
unfouuded. The VIII was therefore sustained.
Presiding Justice of the Peace Gray yesterday
gave 4 verdict for defendant In the suit brought
by II. 5. de RochemOnt against Mrs. w. j. Ken
nedy The latter htTei a house in Mil Valley
but in cOnst quence, she alleged. of sewer gas
had TO leave IL. The suit was brought BY The
landlord, who claimed Mrs. Kennedy had agreed
TO stay four months. The court decided that the
contract under which the house was taken gave
the tenant option 10 leave for cause, The de-
fendauI also takes costs.

THE OPPOSITION TO STOCKTON.

A contest has arisen 10 the freighting
business between this city and Stockton.
1t seems that the old line of steamers, which
was controlled by the managers of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company, has
recently had an opposition, which was be-
ing patronized too extensively by the public
to suit the monopolists. Hence an effort is
made to drive the new steamers out of the
trade. The freighting business between
San Francisco and Stockton is now being
done for small profits, but should the new
steamers be driven off, freights may be ex-
pected TO go to old figures speedily.
