McKinley's trip west seems to have
worried the democrats very much.
We do not wish to probe the wound
any deeper, but we can assure demo-
cracy that he is coming west again,
and it is quite likely that he may come
to the Hills on his second journey.
McKinley's bill is able to do its own
talking all right, but it seems to be
difficult for some democrats to get a
proper understanding of it and no one
is better qualified to post them than
the author of the famous bill.

Home rule she detests. This is natur-

sovereigns Of England have stood for
outrage upon Ireland from time inn

for Victoria to free herself from the
Influences and traditions Of her throne.
But she has to swallow Gladstone just
the same.

Pledges Versus Deeds.

The Fifty-second congress. with it's
1853 Democratic majority, the largest
majority which any party has enjoyed
since the war, says the Minneapolis
Tribune, made these pledges to the
people:
l. To repeal the Mckinley tariff.
2. To carry free coinage of silver.
B. To kill the reciprocity fraud"
4. To repeal the bounty on sugar.
5. To stop the subsidies for ocean
mail.
6. To cut down appropriations $780,
100000.
This Democratic majority of 1853,
after eight months of prolonged session
and faithful salary drawing, fulfilled
the above pledges as follows:
/. Made no attempt.
2. Split its vote and did nothing.
8. Made no attempt.
4. Made no attempt.
5. Made no attempt.
Increased the appropriations :344,-
322S7O.
After squandering more money than
any other American congress, and
failing to carry out. or in most cases
even to attempt, the measures to which
it was pledged, the Fiftv-second con-
gress amended five little hea-bite tariff
duties-namely, those on wool, barley,
Irvine, lead and cotton ties. The
removal Of the sugar duties by the Re-
publican congress amounted alone to
many times all Of these Democratic
fea-bites combined.
The tariff was to be slaughtered in
order to kill off "the trusts and tariff
barons which prey On the people" 1t
appears, therefore, that the trusts and
tariff barons on which this brave
Democratic congress had its eye were
the fellows that raise wool and barley,
mine lead and make cotton ties. 1.-THE
people" who suffered were the manu-
facturers who consume wool and lead,
the distillers who use barley, and the
plantations that use cotton ties. As
five.sixths of the duty on binding Irvine
had already been removed by the pre-.
ceding Republican congress, that duty
was not a party issue.
The Fifty-frst congress had a
Republican majority of only seven and
yet it fulfilled its pledges and gave to
the country such an array of important
legislation as this:
The agricultural college act. The
anti-lottery act. The antitrust act.
Various army legislation. The
Mckinley tariff, including reciprocity
Four minor custom laws. The land
grant forfeiture act. Meat and live
stock inspection laws. Increase Of
navy act, and other navy legislation
Admission of Idaho and Wyoming
"Original package legislation.
Several pension acts. The present
silver law. The Worlds FAR bill
immigration legislation. Indiar
legislation. Public land legislation
Comparisons are odlous, especial,
when made between a congress which
breaks all records for progressive and
aggressive craftsmanship.

An Old Custom.

The origin of the custom of burying
people with their heads TO the west is
unknown. From ages back races in all
parts of the world have buried their
dead with their heads TO the west; not
invariably, however, but with great
uniformity. Probably the remote origin
lies in the belief of an immortality and
a resurrection, typified by the return OF
the sun every morning. The dead are
buried so that when the time comes
they may face the sun, which will wake
them. The first pastor of the church
at Easthampton, n. Y, it may be re-
marked, directed that he be buried
with his head to the east, SO that at the
resurrection he might face his congre-
CATION; but SO general is the custom OF
burying with the head to the west that
this direction Is noted as an instance OF
the minister's eccentricity.

why that is?"
"Of course do"

IN Article Of Diet.
Clay eating, perhaps, was unknown
prior TO the discovery of the Americas,
the first known allusion TO that curious
article of diet being found in the jour
nal of Sir Samuel Argole, in that part
devoted to his travels in the Land OF
Virginia." in the year 1913.
''In this Journey" he says, II Like
wise found a mine of a strange kind OF
earth, the virtues of which know not,
but the natives use it for physic, and
allege that it cures pain in the stomach
and n variety of sicknesses.
Even at the present time the poorer
classes of whites in North and South
Carolina are said to eat clay TO such an
extent as to give their compilations a
peculiar greenish hue.
Humboldt, during his explorations OF
the Rio Negro, South America, discov-
cred tribe Of Indians whose prin-
cipal food during the rainy season was
fat, unctuous clay called 'bole.'"
There are several Central American
tribes that greedily devour the earth OF
ant hills, and the same may be said of
the negroes of Sierra Leone.
In Germany, during the time of the
last famine, an infusorial earth called
mountain meal" was largely used,
either with or without a mixture OF
wheat -four.

rsscosa's Town Drunksrd and His Method
or Ovsrcoming Obstacles.

Tascosa's Town Drunkard and His Method
OF Overcoming Obstacles.
Every small town possesses its ''char-
acter," and none can Guido Tascosa,
Tex. Bob is the name Of Tascosa's
pride, and for all practical purposes the
Kansas City Star says Bob is sufficient.
Bob is human and possesses human
frailty in a pronounced degree. His
especial weakness is love for ardent
rotations. He is not rich and with
full-sised appetite and a depleted purse
dark and devious ways were necessary
to secure the wherewith to allay the
consuming thirst that always was his
portion. Tascosa, among other fine and
imposing structures, possesses a saloon
owned by German. The building is
hardly strong enough to stand heavy
draught of wind and SO it became Bob's
source of supply. Shutters were re-
moved and entrance effected. Several
bottles of whisky were abstracted-and
Bob had glorious celebration. On
several succeeding nights he made other
incursions and on each occasion he
filed up gloriously. The losses were of
course discovered and the guilty one
was finally unearthed. The German
complained to the town marshal, who
took Bob into custody. Tascosa has no
Jail, aud where to keep Bob over night
became the question of the hour. The
German, with the tabled tale of Tan
talus in mind, suggested claiming him
to a post, the central support of the
saloon, giving him blanket, and there,
in the midst of plenty, let him want.
And accordingly SO it was done. The
next morning Bob was more gloriously
drunk than the most ancient residenter
had ever beheld him. Still chained to
his post, the blanket torn in shreds,
with empty bottles around him, he was
master of the field. Examination dis
closed the fact that he had transformed
his blanket into lasso and thereby
secured his booty. The news spread
and the townsmen and the rancheros
came trooping in. From a mere sneak
thief Bob became hero. The German
throve. Liquor was freely dispensed and
none was there too poor to ''set 'em for
Bob" 1t was great day for Tascosa
and since then Bob has done little but
celebrate gloriously.

IL Was the Result OF n wager and Very
Nearly Created n Riot In 1740.
The bottle imp hoax was one of the
most brazen impostures ever practiced
on the credulous English public of the
last century. 1t was the result of a
wager between the duke of Montague
and another nobleman in the year 174o.
In discussing the amazing gullibility
of the English, Montague declared that
IL the imposter were to advertise that
he would jump into a quart bottle all
London would go to see him do 1t. A
wager was made and an advertisement
inserted in all the papers promising
that this feat would be performed on p
certain date at the Haymarket theater,
On the appointed day the theater was
packed from pit to gallery, and thou
sands OF persons were turned from the
doors.
The supposed ssagician appeared on
the stage. made the startling announce
ment that II the audience would pay
double price he would enter o g.pt bot
tie instead of quart flask on the stage
table, and then burriedly escaped by
the stage door.
The performance ended in riot, in
which tho theater was almost wrecked,
and tho duke and his companion had to
leave town until ths affair was forgot

CURIOUS JAPANESE CUSTOMS.
Some OF Their Quaint and Queer ways Ut
Marriages.


Marriages.
"The Japanese are the quaintest peo-
pie on EARTH" said M. Hutton, of San
Francisco. "They are as versatile as
the French and initiative as the ne
groes. Since the introduction into
Japan of American ideas and thrift
they have been striving hard to adopt
our way of living and acting in all par
ticulars, but they are so thoroughly
grounded in their old customs and man
nerisms-which you know is almost a
complete reversal of everything eau
casian--that, with all their sprightli-
ness and ambition, several generations
yet will perhaps pass away before
the revolution now in progress in the
country will be complete.
1T sounds ridiculous to you that any
sane human being should give express
sion to poignant grief by loud and roll
licking laughter. But that's just what
the Japanese do. have seen whole
room full Of mourners in Yokohama
and other cities Of the empire in the &C.
stasy of JOY instead of commissions OF
grief, as with us. Their peals of laugh
ter were little hysterical, but all the
same they laughed. And when a child
is born to japanese household the i'm
portant event is heralded to the com
munity by the loud cries and walls OF
the father and by bountiful supply of
Grape on the front door. However, the
more advanced few among them are
discarding these strange ancient Gus
toms, and are adopting our ways, even
in this particular"

HYPNOTIC POWER.
How the Snake and the Tiger Benumb
Their Victims Senses.


Their Victims Senses.
The power attributed to the snake
and feline families of charming" their
victims seems to me past dispute, saysa
writer in the Minneapolis Tribune. 1t
is merely sort of hypnotism. Living
stone tells us that when at one time
seized by tiger he felt neither terror
nor pain; all his senses seemed to be
benumbed. Bates in his Naturalist on
the Amazon" states that one day in the
woods small pet dog few at large
rattlesnake. The snake fired his eyes
on the dog, erected his tail, and shook
his rattle; it seemed in no haste TO seize
the dog, but as if waiting TO put the
dog into a more suitable condition for
being seized. AS to the dog, 1t neither
continued the attack nor retreated,
could not or would not move when
called, and was with difficulty dragged
away by his master.
/ have seen one case of snake
charming bird, but had better OPP
portunity to study a cat charming
bird, and probably the process is much
alike in both. The cat placed itself on
the outside sill of my window, near to
pine tree. A bird presently lit on the
pine tree, no doubt not observing the
cat. The cat fixed its attention on the
bird. The cats eyes were widely open
and shone with a peculiar brightness;
its head was raised and intent, the fur
on its neck and about its face slowly
stood up as If electrified. Except for
this rising of the fur and certain in
tensity of life in the whole attitude OF
the beast it was as still as If cut from
stone. The bird quivered, trembled,
looked fixedly at the cat, and finally
with a feeble shake of the wings fell
toward the cat, which bonded to seize
il.
A lady tells me that she "does not be-
lieve cats can charm birds because she
has seen cat trying to charm parrot,
and the bird, greatly alarmed, scolded
loudly" This proves nothing. The
parrot in general, or, more probably,
that particular parrot, did not prove
good subject for the mesmeric power.

hypnotized; they res4pt the effort and
