Mrs. Lease. Politician and Agitator.

Mrs. Lease. Politician and AgitatOr.
The woman who j. more talked Of than
any other in the states beyond the Mssis-
sppi today is Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease, who
took a very prominent part in the Weaver,
or Peoples party, canvass in those states.
In this respect her performance as a cam
paigner has never been equaled by any
woman. Mrs. Lease possesses by nature
the qualities which fit her completely for
an agitator. She is large and angular of
frame, her face is strong, and her eyes
have that peculiar quality which makes
them "snap" under excitement. She has
masculine voice of great volume and
carrying power. Along with it she has
immense physical endurance. During the
campaign she made at least 200 speeches,
holding her own with any and all of the
men who opposed her, or agreed with her,
on the stump. 1t is related that one day
in Kansas she made four long speeches,
three of them before she had chance to
get her breakfast at the hotel where she
had arrived late the night before.
This remarkable woman is of Irish de
scent, on her fathers side, at least. She
has lived in various parts of the country,
in Texas nine years, among other places.
Her husband is farmer and attends quiet
ly to the home affairs while his wife dis
cusses politics, economics, and all the

themes which the political excitement of
the day brings up. 1t is not strange un-
der these circumstances, that Mrs. Lease
has been seriously talked ofias a candidate
for the United States senatorship from

New MOwn Hay.


What is there in the fragrance of new
mown hay that surpasses in this occult
power almost all other perfumes? Is
it that the very essence of imperishable
vitality, the earth mothers strength and
enfolding love, is contained in the grass
the patient; long suffering, sturdy,
multitudinous, beautiful grass-which
feeds the cattle and carpets the hills,
and creeps to the very edge of the road
side, and springs up in the ruts, and
spreads it's soft, thick coverlet over the
graves of our dead? Nothing else so
rests the tired eye, so springs back under
the tired foot. When the vagrant i'm
pulse awakens in our breasts, the nomad
instinct stirs, we are fain to go where
the grasses wave and the old trees lean
lovingly over them.
The wearied man of business, hard
pressed with the routine of the count
ing room, becomes boy once more if
he can but secure a holiday in the time
of making hay. He goes into the field
with buoyant step, and you hear his
voice ringing in joyous shout as he
counts the rolling swaths.
How children love to tumble in the
hay, and how defrauded they are of one
of childhood's chief delights if they
never know the glory of riding home
ward to the barn on top of the great bill

of loosely .moored canoe on the r;pples
that lap its frail, thin water-lines like .
summer breeze sways the heavy head of
a flower on slender stem.
The fire crackles and the logs fall, the
red sparks ascend like living thistle
down, and the flames die in bed of
scintillating Goals. Someone Gays good
might then, and pretty Mrs. Chaperon
says, ''come dears, you are tired, and
we must all off to bed" They
arise, and with sleepy smiles
humber off to their tent, end in
three minutes are cuddling down be-
tween their gray blankets on the old
canvas stretchers. Somebody laces up
the canvas door, shakes out some quilts
in search OF the snake that never
comes, extinguishes the candle, and
rolls into her bunk" The out
lines of leaves and twigs play on the
canvas overhead, and the red glare
OF the emouldering fire dies outside, a
drowsy girl is conscious of watching the
shadows dance, of hearing the night
wind murmur, of feeling warmth and
blessed restfulness, and then sleep
touches with soft, tender lips the heavy
eyelids, and the worlds well lost.

why Boiled Water Freezes Easily.

Water which is hot Of course cannot
freeze until it has parted with its heat;
but water that has been boiled will,
other things being equal, freeze sooner
than water which has not been boiled.
A slight disturbance of water disposes
it to freeze more rapidly, and this is the
cause which accelerates the freezing of
boiled water. The water that has been
boiled has lost the air naturally con-
tanned in it, which on exposure to the
atmosphere it begins again to attract
and absorb. During this process of ab-
sorption a motion is necessarily pro-
duced among its particles, slight GER
tainly and imperceptible, yet probably
sufficient to accelerate its congelation.
In unboiled water this disturbance does
not exist; indeed water when kept per-
fectly still can be reduced several de-
grees below the freezing point without
its becoming ice.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Tho First Piano,

The original first piano made by the
late Jonas Chickering, of Boston, founder
of the piano industry in the United
States, has just been recovered by his
SON George H Chiclznrins, and is to DO
kept by the latter gentleman as his
toric memento. The original bill of
sale was made out to James HI. Bing-
ham, and the date, June 90, 1898, marks
the time of the first sale made of new
piano at the factory, then consisting of
two rooms on fremont street, next to
Kings chapel graveyard, in a small
building located where the probate court
building now is.
Mr.. Bingham was friend of Jonas
Chickering, and he bought the piano for
a Miss Thankful G. Hutchinson, at Al
stead, N. H., whence it was shipped.
Mr.. Bingham was engaged to be mar
ried to Miss Hutchinson and subse-
quently did marry her. The piano sold
for $275. Twice afterward the piano
was sold, always remaining, however,
in Alstead.-Boston Journal.

The Queens Reign.

If her majesty lives a few months long
er she will take second place for length
of reign among English sovereigns. Be-
fore her only three monarchs ruled for
over fifty years. Curiously enough,
they were all the third of their name
that had sat on the English throne.
Henry III reigned between fifty-fve and
fifty-six years; Edward III was king for
fifty years, while her majesty's grand
father, George III, was nominal ruler
for fifty-nine years. Of these only the
last was over age when he came to the
throne, he being in his twenty-third
year. Henry III was only nine and
Edward III only fifteen when they en-
tered on their respective reigns.-Lon-
don Tit-Bits.

4 Vase for the Oueen.

A very beautiful Venetian glass vase
has been manufactured by the artists
engaged at DR.. Salviati's furnace at
Olympia for presentation to the queen
ON the occasion of the anniversary of
her majesty's coronation day. The vase
has been executed by Giuseppe Barovier,
assisted by his brothers Pietro and Wit
torio, and is their own gift, the work
having been done in their spare time.
In praying her majesty to accept this
gift of their labor, the artists desire to
point out tiat this is the first time in
history that Venetian glass has been
made in England, as in the days of the
Venetian republic it would have meant
death to any artist who ventured to ex-
hibit his skill in any foreign country,
and they offer it as token of profound
respect for her majesty, and in gratitude
for the hospitable and kind treatment
which they have received and are now
receiving in England.-London Times.

A Collectors Troubles.

Collectors sometimes indulge in odd
fancies. Mr.. Edward Hammond, of
Leominster, appears to have fancy for
collecting human skulls. One day he
was in the priory churchyard in that
town when the sexton, like that famous
gravedigger who remembered the kings
Jester before his flashes of merriment
had ceased to set the tables ON roar,
cast up skull. Upon this Mr.. Ham
mond stopped down, picked up the grim
relic, and placing it in a handkerchief,
together with some grass, was seen to
walk away with it. Subsequently the
skull, having been washed, was seen, it
is said, in Mr.. Hammond's office; but
the business got wind and made talk,
and finally no less body than the home
office authorities were induced to take
up the matter.
1t was in accordance with orders from
the home Office that the deputy chief
constable sought out Mr.. Hammond the
other day in Leominster market, and
demanded the restoration of ''that
skull" Mr. Hammonds answer was
that it was no longer in his possession.
He had "reinterred it," he said. Be-
sides, in so doing he had conducted
proper burial service over it." More he
could scarcely do, but the authorities
were not yet appeased. Mr.. Hammond
has been charged in the Leominster po-
lice court and convicted of unlawfully
removing human remains from burial
place. The magistrates, however, seem
to have thought that he had done well
nigh enough to atone for his indiscre-
tion, for while they fined him only one
shilling, they ordered that the costs
should be paid by the prosecution

IN TIE DEAD HAND.

They tell the tale unsmiling,
Old men, their hours beguiling
AS they can;
Each annual November
They sadden who remember
Inkermann.
Yet of that field one story
Shines through the gloom and glory
OF the fight;
Over the cannons' roaring
There sings lark song soaring
Out of sight.
Aloof, where men lay bleeding,
In fatal pain whose pleading
Made no cry.
Shot pierced and saber smitten,
A young and gallant Briton
Crept to die.
AT sunset there they found him
With the red snow around him,
And his hand
Laid on the Book whose healing
All hearts to heaven appealing
Understand.
And meath his frozen fingers
Those words whose hope outlingers
Human strife
Glowed like stars reflection
~ am the Resurrection
And the Life"
Comrades to burial bore him,
But not deaths rending tore him
From his prize,
For to his hand caressing
Still clung the leaf whose blessing
Closed his eyes.
o Christian song supernal,
Words sweetest love eternal
Ever saidi
Peace at your call comes flying,
And they who clasp you dying
Are not dead.

He Causes a commotion Among the
Dudes and Others at Gloucester.
Special to The JERSEY Citg Netcs.
GLOUCESTER, Aug. 81. 18y2.-A very
handsome young lady attired in q suit of
cardinal colored cloth. red shoes and red
hat. with glasses. attracted attention
along the Gloucester Beach yesterday
afternoon. Crowds of dudes followed
her footsteps. anxious to secure an &C
quaintance, but with q killing smile she
refused all of their attentions.
Many returning from the track who
had struck a winner became followers of
the attractive female. Policeman Gil
more CHANGED to be along the shore and
he, too, was attracted, but when he looked
at the baud that held the skirt so deity,
became impressed with the idea that 1t
was more masuline than femiue and de-
clded to investigate.
When he approached her and entered
into conversation, her voice, he found,
Was very harsh, also very masculine. He
WAS then convinced that the fair female
was a man in disguise and arrested him
for impersonatng a female on the streets.
He created quite a commotion as he
walked By her. or his. side on the way TO
the prison.
At the prison several became interested,
but were made the butt OF many jokes
when the female gave the name of Harry
Ransom. He wa held for q hearing by
Mayor Jackson.
