SOLID SOUTH VS.. SOLID NORTH.

D. G. Olinger, a strong Peoples party
man in Norton county, is hot-very
much so-since reading of the treat
ment given General Weaver in Georgia.
Last Tuesday morning, in the presence
of number Of persons in Horton, he
said:
at is not American and is reasonable
to deny any man free speech. The peo-
pie of the south held out promises 10 our
party in the north that they would break
what has been called the solid south,
| but they have proven themselves traitor
Gus. do not now believe that the south
will ever be anything but solid Demo-
cratic south, and the only way [ can see
is for the Peoples party to join forces
with the Republicans and make the
north solid Republican north. l
have thought that we might elect
Weaver with the aid of the silver fore
es of tie south and west, but now do
not believe the south will ever be any
thing but solid Democratic and | am in
favor of making the north just as solid
Republican. l would rather see the
devil elected then to see Grover Cleye-
land elected. Every egg thrown at
Weaver was "bloody Shirt" and l
would like to go again and DO over
again what was done in 81 65. The
south said they would shake hands with
us. but they have done it by egging our
candidate and degrading themselves by
their REASONABLE acts. If it is to be a
solid Democratic south, and it will never
be anything else, l am in favor Of
solid Republican north"
In referring to the foregoing the
Headlight said: "Mr. O!inger's words
are only those of a number of other
Peoples party men in this county who
are not going to be roped in to assist in
electing Grover Cleveland" The same
can be truthfully said of every other
county in the state. The truth of the
matter is, that Georgia episode has
proven a very revelation to thousands
who permitted themselved to be led off
into the Populist movement unoer a
well meant but misplaced delusion; and
who will wash their hands of the whole
business.

HOW WE FALL ASLEEP.
Some of the Senses Drop OFF More Easily
Than Others.

Than Others.
Scientific investigators assert that In
beginning to sleep the senses do not
unitedly fall into slumber, but drop off
one after another. The sight ceases
IN consequence of the protection of the
eyelids to receive impressions first,
while all the other senses preserve their
sensibility entire. The sense of taste
is the Eext which loses its susceptible
ty to impression, and then the sense OF
of smelling. The hearing is next in
order, and last of all comes the sense
of touch. Furthermore, the senses are
brought to sleep with different degrees
of profoundness. The sense of touch
sleeps the most lightly, and the most
easily awakened; the next easiest is
the hearing, the next is the sight, and
the taste and smelling awake last.
Another remarkable circumstance de-
serves notice; certain muscles and parts
of the body begin to sleep before 9TH
ers. Sleep commences at the extremi-
ties, beginning with the feet and legs
and creeping toward the center of the
nervous action, explains the American
Analyst. The necessity of keeping the
feet warm and perfectly still as pre-
liminary of sleep is well known. From
these explanations it will not appear
surprising that there should be an i'm
perfect kind OF mental action which
produces the phenomena of dreaming.

LENGTH OF The MILE
Ne Less Than Twelve Different Kinds ol
Miles In European Countries.

Ne Less Than Twelve Different Kinds 81
Miles In European Countries.
A correspondent asks how many
different kinds OF miles there are, says
the Pittsburgh Dispatch. 1t is 70
wonder that there is some uncertainty
about the length of a mile Enc i.,,-
speaking countries have four different
niles-the ordinary mile OF $3.50 feet,
and the geographical or nautical mile
of 6, os5. making difference Of about
one-seventh between the two; then
there is the Scotch mile C. 5,oes feet,
and the Irish mile of 6,72o feet-four
various miles, every one 81 which is
still in use.
Then almost every couD Y has its
own standard mile. The Romans had
their mile passum, 1000 PAGES, which
must have been about S, 0eo feet in
length, unless we ascribc to Cesar's
DICTIONARIES great stepping capacity.
The German mile of to-day is BASIS
feet in length, more than four and .
half times as long as our mile. The Dutch.
the Danes, and the Prussians enjoy
a mile that is I9,44o feet long, three AID
a half times the length of ours, and the
Swiss get more exercise in walking enc
OF their miles than we gct in walking
five miles. for their mile is .,os rails
long, while ours is only 1850 yards. The
Italian miles is only few feet longer
than ours, the Roman mile is shorter,
while the Tuscan and the Turkish
miles are l5o yards longer. The Swedish
mile is 7,s41 yards long, and the
Vienna post milo is s,29S yards in
length.
So here is q list Of twelve different
miles, and besides this there are other
measures of distance, not counting the
French kilometer. which is rather less
than two-thirds of mile. The Bra
zilians have q militia that is one and q
quarter times as long. as our mile; the
Neapolitan miglo is about the same
length; the japanese ri or mile il two
and one-haH times ours; the Russian
verst is five-eighths as long as our mile;
while the Persian standard is fersakh,
four and one-half miles long, which is
said to be equal to the parzssnR, 50 ia
miliar to the readers Of .Xensphcn's
"Anabasis."
The league that is familiar 20 readers
Of French and Spanish books varies just
rs does the mile. In Brazil il is As
miles long, IN France it was three
miles, in Spain 1t was as miles. and
once on time in England it was az
miles long. The only measure that is
about the same in every country Ii the
meter, and even that varies slightly, for
in France it is S9.S5o-332 inches in
length. while in this country it is 1881
ore inches difference to be men,
toned, but not to be considered in
practice.

CURIOUS FACTS.
Origins OF Some of Our Most Common
Mathematical Signs.

Mathematical Signs.
The sign0of addition is derived from
the initial letter of the word plus. +"
In making the capital letter, it wasllmade
more and more carelessly until the top
part of the ''p" was finally placed near
the center; hence the plus sign as we
know it was gradually reached.
The sign Of subtraction was derived
from the word minus" The word
was first contracted in N, n. s, with a
horizontal line above to indicate that
some Of the letters had been left out
At last the letters were omitted alto
gether, leaving only the short line.
The multiplication sign was obtained
By changing the plus sign into the let
ter X. This was done because multi
plication is but shorter form of addi-
ton
Division was formerly indicated By
placing the dividend above horizontal
line ard the divisor below. In order TO
save space n printing the dividend was
placed 20 the left and the divisor to the
right After years Of EVOLUTION" the
d's were omitted altogether and simple
dots set in the place OF each As with
the others the radical sign was derived
from the initial letter of the word
'-radix"
The sign Of equality was first used
in the year 1857 by sharp natheraati-
clan. who substituted It 20 avoid fire.

RAiNDROPS.
Some Curious Facts Brought Out by Scis
eRtific study.

Some Curious Facts Brought Out by Scis
entific study.
How large is drop of rain? Prob
ably most people have notion that
raindrops are nearly all of one size, al
though it is matter of common obser-
walton that in what is called misty
rain, or drizzle, the individual drops
are very small. The question of the
size OF raindrops is not SO unimportant
as might be supposed, and Mr.'E. L.
Lowe has collected many facts bearing
upon it, and presented them TO the
Royal Meteorological society.
He employed in his experiments
sheets of slate made in book form so as
to be readily closed, and ruled in inch
squares. The impressions of the drops
were caught on the slate and afterward
carefully copied on paper.
He discovered that the size of rain
drops varies from a speck so small as to
be almost invisible up to diameter
of two inches.
Every reader has probably noted that
the raindrops preceding thunderstorm
frequently assume gigantic proportions,
though he may not have suspected that
they conld ever attain SO great size as
Mr.. Lowe has discovered that they do.
Other interesting facts about rain
drops which have been brought out by
Mr.. loves experiments are that drops
of the same size do not always contain
the same amount OF water, and that
some of the largest drops are hollow.
The Importance of these observations
from scientific point of view lies in
the bearing of the facts thus ascertained
upon the question of the manner of pre-
cipitation of the aqueous vapor of the
atmosphere. From another point Of
view they are important as illustrating
natures power tointroduce variety into
her works, even when her hand is
busted merely in forming drops of rain.
