win Fight Both.

The state democratic and republican
conventions which adopt the non-essen-
tials in the alliance demands-swallow
all they can-and try to side-track or
sugar-coat the sub-treasury and other
financial demands, expose their own
weakness and only excite contempt
from the order, because it is very un-
complimentary to the intelligence of
the members of the alliance to presume
them such a set of fools as to accept a
miserable straddle and the very fact
that the party is driven to such straights
as to offer the straddle shows its weak
ness. 1t would be more manly and
honorable for the parties to accept the
issue of flesh and blood against money,
take their positions on the side of
money, as they will soon be compelled
to do, and fight Alliancemen will do
battle with the evil one just the same.

CLIMATIC CHANGES.
Myrtles Once Flourished In Greenland and
Switzerland Has Felt African Heat,

Myrtles Once Flourished In Greenland and
Switzerland Has Felt African Heat.
The changes of terrestrial climate
have been many and various. Myrtles
and tree ferns once fourished in Green
land; coral insects built on the shores
of Melville island; nautiluses sailed
over what must then have been the
tepid seas about Spitzbergen. But with
the lapse of ages the scene changed and
worse than arctic rigors spread into
regions now enjoying temperate cli-
mate, possibly not for the first time.
The Permian was certainly an inclem-
ent age, according to the Edinburgh
Review, and its inclemency seems even
to have reached the point of glaciation
in the west of England and Ireland,
yet it was preceded and succeeded by
a long prevalence of tropical conditions.
These assuredly reigned without inter
ruption in north temperate and polar
regions throughout the vast expanse of
tertiary time. Palms and cycads then
sprang up in the room of oaks and
beeches in England; turtles and croco-
dies haunted English rivers and estu-
aries; lions, elephants and hyenas
roamed at large over the English dry
land.
In Switzerland a mean temperature
equal to that of North Africa at the
present time is shown by its fossil fora
to have prevailed during the miocene
or middle tertiary epoch. Anthropoid
apes lived in Germany and France, fig
and cinnamon trees flourished at Dant-
zic; in Greenland, up to seventy degrees
of latitude, magnolias bloomed and
vines ripened their fruit, while in Spitz-
bergen and even in Grinnen Land,
within little more than eight degrees Of
the pole, the swamp Expresses and wal
nuts, cedars, lines, planes and poplars
grew freely, water lilies covered over
standing pools and irises lifted their tall
heads by the margins Of streams and
rivera

Superstition.

A Precious Stone That Il Regarded with
Superstition.
Foreign papers tell story of an opal
ring belonging to the late King AL
phonso XII. of Spain, which Will be
treasured by those who believe in the
superstition regarding the evil effects
of the stone. On his wedding day the
king presented beautiful ring to his
queen, Mercedes, daughter of the duke
of Montpensier. The queen wore the
ornament till her death, which occurred
soon afterward. Before the burial his
majesty took the ring from his wife's
finger and placed it upon that of his
'wife's sister, the infantine Maria del
Pillar. The young princess only lived
few days after receiving the ring. A
third time the king took possession of
the ring and presented it to his sister
in-law, Princess Christina, the youngest
daughter of the duke of Montpensier.
Three months later the princess died.
The king, surprised at the history of
the ring, decided to wear it himself.
But he did not wear it long, as death
soon claimed him also. The queen re-
gent, after the burial Of her husband,
attached the ring to golden chain and
placed 1t upon the neck of the virgin of
Almudena, the matron saint of Madrid.
Superstitious Spaniards foolishly at
tribute the various deaths to the ring.

No doubt each of the thousands of
authors, on receiving his rejected manu-

grade of humanity. He does not know
in how large a company he is.
We draw attention to the rarity of
this gift of expression in order to cor

How Old Sol Got Ahead Of . LaRgard
Groom.
1t was Archie Coles wedding day, says
the Youths Companion. From boyhood
he had been late at school, late at
church, late at meals, late everywhere.
CPL wager" said his brother John,
laughingly, "that you can't be first even
to kiss your bride at the weddingl'
'Oh, I'll not be late them" said Archie.
Two hours later Archie stood with the
pretty maiden by the flowers In the
parlor of her home. The guests were
seated. The minister rose.
Archie's failing and Johns prediction
were known to them all Nevertheless
Archie knew he should not be late now,
for his dear old mother had made all of
the guests promise not to precede him in
kissing the bride.
The solemn vows were said softly,
and the fervent prayer was spoken slow
ly, while a robin could be heard singing
on the lawn.
Amen" said the minister.
Archie bowed to kiss his bride; but he
paused, for an instant, he smiled, he
blushed. A sunbeam stealing through
rift in the heavy curtains, was trem-
bling gently on the brides lips.
I've won the betl' cried John.
The guests laughed, and the preacher,
too, while the victorious sunbeam
danced on the hyacinths and lilies.

THE FARMERS SIDE.
Where we are, how we got here,
and the way out"
BY Hon. w. A. PETER,
Is. SENATOR FROM KANSAS.
12mo, cloth Price, S1.OO.

There is demand for comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the influ-
ences surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future. This book has been written by
Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls,. The title is THE FARMER's
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
scribes the condition of the farmer in various
parts of the country, and compares it with the
condition of men in other callings. He carefully
examines the cost of labor, of living, the prices
of crops, taxes, mortgages, and rates of interest
4e gives elaborate tables showing the increase
Of wealth in railroads, manufactures. banking,
and other forms of business, and he compares
this with the earnings of the farmer, and also
wage-workers in general. In a clear, forcible
style, with abundant citations Of fhcts and fig
ures, the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion of "The Way out, !"
which is the fullest and most autho ritative pres
entation of the aims and views of the Farmers
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions of the currency, the questions of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale Of
crops, and other matters of vital consequence.
This book is the only one which attempts to
cover the whole ground, and it is unnecessary
to emphasize its value. 1t is compendium Of
the facts, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought to have at hand.
THE FARMERS SIDE has Just been issued,
and makes a handsome and substantial book
of 2a0 pages. We have arranged with the pub
fishers for its sale to our readers at the pub
fishers price. The book may be obtained at
our Office, or we will forward copies to any
address, postpaid, Oh receipt of sl.eo per copy.
