1t appears that the properties popularity
attributed to lettuce Gts soporific effects
were known to the Creeks are due to
hyoscyamine Mr.. L. S. Dymond, in a
paper read before the Chemical society, ex-
planned that the mydriatic (dilation of the
pupil of the eye) action of an extract Of
lettuce was suspected of being due to an
alkaloid, and after treating in the usual
way with ehloroform he obtained crystals
in the form of silky needles, having the
same melting point and other properties as
hyoscyamine, the mydriatic alkaloid
known to exist in belladonna, henbane and
other plants belonging to the solanace9.
The lettuce Qactuca), however, belongs
to the composite, and probably Mr.. by
mond is the first to discover hyoscyamine
or any other alkaloid Of the mydriatic
group in plant not belonging TO the so
lanacee. English Mechanic.

According TO the Railway Review
the Canadian Pacific, taking advantage
of the antagonism engendered in China
through the action Of the United states
authorities, has established an agency
at Hong Kong for the purpose OF pro-
noting traffic between Canada and
China and Japan. The demand for
what is known in civilization as staples
is beginning to be felt in these oriental
countries, and it is anticipated that a
large trade in flour, provisions, cotton
and wooden goods and canned meats
and vegetables can be built up, and as
this road proposes to lose no oppor-
tunity for increasing its trans-Pacific
trade. it will promote the consumption
of these articles to the fullest extent
In its efforts in this direction 1t will
soon be aided by the Great Northern
Steamship Company and there i every
reason TO believe that a sufficient de-
mand for American products can be
created in Japan and China to furnish,
in connection with oriental shipments

A few old toll bridges down in Maine
bear signs that perpetuate the memory OF
a curious law. These signs proclaim that
all persons. save ''paupers, Indians and
elergymen, must pay toll in crossing the
bridge. The indulgence shown to paupers
and clergymen is easily understood from
the practice elsewhere, but why the Indi
ans were exempted is not so clear, unless,
indeed, it was a recognition Of the aborigi-
nal right to the freedom Of the region. -

CoIOred Citizens. Read!

Of course, you remember the
times when soldiers were kept in the
South to "see that the colored men
were allowed vote"-so they said
but all of you may not distinctly
remember when those soldiers were
permanently removed.
When Hayes and Tilden were op-
posing candidates for the presidency,
you remember it was Nip and Tuck,
and you remember that Tuck got a
majority of the votes, but was count
ed out, and Nip "got there" "And
thereby hangs tale" Otis the truth,
though).
II was discovered, by the Repub-
licans, that Tilden had been elected,
but they were determined to seat
Hayes. Something must be done,
so the schemers begun to sheme,
and before they had finished, they
Matched up a nice little plan: the
Republican managers agreed with
the Democratic managers that if
the Democrats would allow the Re-
publicans to seat Hayes, the soldiers
should be withdrawn from the South,
permanently, and the Democrats
would be allowed to intimidate the
colored men undisturbcd.
So, you see, the Republicans un-
dertook, practically, to disfranchise
the colored citizen.
This is no Clancy SKETCH" nor
campaign lie, but it is the truth,
and can be proven.

The Eagle Screams.

scended from its lofty perch and pro-
ceeded to pick few barn-yard mice.
Read: mckinley tariff has brought
about decline of ga per cent. in
costs of necessaries of life raised
farm products 1866 per cent"
According to the above statement,
farm products are not necessaries of
lite, because necessaries have de-
clined "3.4 per cent" and products
"have advanced The Eagle, is
wrong. Farm products are neces-
saries of life to human beings-and
even Eagles love the toothsome
chicken. We presume that even
the Eagle will admit that wheat,
corn, cattle, ETC., are farm products;
also, if the Eagle had not been soar
ing on the lofty heights of Repub-
licanism, it would have known that
all farm products have declined
steadily for ten years, and that the
decline in cattle in the Kansas City
markets last April was the lowest in
ten years. Fat cows now, home
market, are so cents per hundred !;
wheat from 40 to 60 cents and still
there has, accordidg to the Eagle,
been an advance of 1856 per cent.
To have been an advance, wheat
would not, at its lowest, have paid
cost of hauling, and cattle could
only be used for fertilizers. All the
evidence goes to show tnat the ed
itor of the Eagle is a patron of the
Anthony bureau of correct" in

Letter from Nathan Hiatt.

EDITOR AGITAToR If we allow
ourselves to give due notice and
note the events, such as riots, strikes,
wars and rumOrs of wars, and while
history is repeating itself, we should
ask ourselves the question, Why is
it that they occur more frequently
during a presidential campaign !?
Again: Who are they that are
realizing the most money out Of
those things, and are still gathering
and obtaining more power over the
American people
Now, if we will allow ourselves
to do a little thinking, we must
come to the conclusion that it is the
great printing presses that belong
to plutocracy All these events fur
nisI news for their papers that all
are eagre to read. 1t keeps their
papers in circulation, and is giving
them power to keep this old 'polit-
ical machine this old European
engine-in good running order.
Again Does not capital suffer
by cutting the wages Of labor and
causing strikes? Capital would
suffer were it not for the "powers
that be-" The great conspiracy Sc
cretly says to capital and it's hired
tools in the different localities, "Do
all you can to get the men to make
"a strike, and, if possible, get up a
riot-a war-and have the United
States troops or state militia out to
keep the people quiet and enforce
law and order" This is plutocracy,
headed by the great financers of
Europe, who are trying to teach the
American people that we are not
capable of governing ourselves.
They want to make us believe that
our republican government is "a fail
ure y; that the laboring people-the
common herd"-must be kept in
subsection by force of arms. Be
sides, they now have large amount
of capital IN this country that must
be protected. By and-by, they will
give us to understand that we must
have king to rule over us.

Salaries and Mckinley Bill.

Mr.. Flick, manager of the Home
stead mills, receives salary OF $50
600 per annum. Only one hand is
employed in this department, there
fore the average earnings OF the
Homestead presidents is $4,000,
rain or shine. 1t is noticeable that
this class Of employees never strike.
Mr.. Depew has been an employe OF
the Vanderbilts for 10 ! these many
years, and, although his salary is
only $4,000 per annum, he has
never been known to even threaten
to strike. 1t is also noticeable that
this class of employees never join
any labor association in fact, they
are all, without a single exception,
non.union men and bitterly opposed
to labor organizing. IT'S also
strange that this class of men are
always counted as employees, and
their small wages dumped into the
averages. Now, often in the same
mill, or railroad, where the salaries
of the presidents average $50, 900
or $75, 900, there are a large mum
Der Of employees whose yearly sal
airy is $3.50 or $500. This latter
class, for some inscrutable reason, is
not willing to have his average
counted up to 5000 when he
is only paid $3.50. 1t may
be that big averages are among
the results Of the Mckinley
bill. 1t is certainly claimed
that the Mckinley bill raised the
wages of employees, and we nave a
dim conception of how, by raising
the salary Of the presidents from
$25, 900 to $50, 900, the averages Of
the men who only received $3.50
might be raised, at least a Fright
smart" We have sought carefully,
and with tears, for the blessings of
the Mckinley bill, and if it is not
in the averages, then it must be
like the hidden pearl that, when
found, did not pay over half the ex-
penses of the search.

Foreign Ways of Cooking Goose.


The usual way to prepare n goose for the
family dinner table is to stuff it with sage
and onion stufling, to roast or bake it, and
to serve with brown gravy and apple sauce
Those, however, who object to the high
flavor Of onion stufling should try the fol-
lowing German recipes:
Prepare the goose as usual for roasting;
peel and cut up apples into pieces the size
OF nuts or marbles, add three ounces or
four ounces of Currants we'll cleaned and
pumped in boiling water; put a piece Of
butter in with the apples. Fill the goose
and close it with "a skewer or sewing and
roast. Prunes half stewed or sliced al
monds, mixed with the apple filling, are
also used.
Stewed Goose with TurnipS-Chop an
onion or two, put them in a stewpan with
large tablespoonful Of goose dripping.
When this is hot and the onions turned
yellow and soft, dredge in some flour and
let it brown; add some broth or gravy and
water. Cut up any remains of cold goose
and put them into the same, with salt, pep
per, glass Of white wine and little tar
ragon vinegar to flavor. Cover and let
steam awhile Peel and cut turnips in
small, thin slices; let them lie half an hour
in cold water. Make piece of butter hot
in stewpan, put in chopped onion, and
when it has leaned few minutes, put in
the turnips with some SALT let them steam
till they are soft and yellow. Supply a lit
tie water to prevent their burning.

A Christmas tree, with it's branches
loaded with toys and knicknacks, makes,
when its tiny candles Of various colors have
all been lighted, pretty object. We have
grown so accustomed to see it now that it
is hard to think that there ever was time
when Christmas Publications were not
adorned with nicely decked tree. AS a
matter of fact, the use of the tree is of
very recent origin in England and Amer
lea. 1t is said that the late prince consort,
who was the father of the Prince Of Wales,
introduced the custom of Christmas trees
in England in 1910. There were grand fes-
tivities in Windsor castle, one of the homes
OF Queen Victoria, and he provided hand
some tree covered with beautiful presents
that were afterward distributed among
the queens guests, old and young alike.
Prince Albert borrowed the idea from his
native country Of Germany, where thr
tree has been feature of Christmas gath
erings fora long period.
