Battle With a Bee.
Portland Transcript.


 An observer writes us that he is sat- isfied that there is as much rivalry be- tween humming birds and bees in their quest for honey as there is between members of the human race in their struggle for the good things of life, and describes recent quarrel he saw in a Portland garden, where humming bird with an angry dash expressed his disapproval of the presence of big bumblebee in the same tree. The usu- ally pugnacious bee incontinently fled, but he did not leave the tree. He dashed back and forth among the branches and white blossoms. the humming- bird in close pursuit. Where will you find another pair that could dodge and dart equal to these? They were like flashes of light yet the pur- suer followed the track of the pursued, turning when the bee turned. In short, the bird and the bee controlled the movements of their bodies more quickly aud more accurately than he could control the movements of his eyes. The chase was all over iR half the time that it takes to tell it, but the excite ment of a of pack of hounds after a fox was no greater. The bee escaped, the bird giving up the chase and alight- ing on a twig. It couldn't have been chasing the bee for food, and there is no possible explanation of it's unpro- voked attack, except that it wished to have the honey itself.

 nervousness, sleeplessness and female troubles. Let them follow the example of Mrs. H. Herbechter, Stevens Point, Wis, who for five years suffered greatly from Nervous Prostration and sleepless. ness, tried physicians and different medi. cines without success. But one bottle oi Dr. Miles Nervine caused sound sleer every night and she is feeling like new person.

VILLAGES DESTROYED
Disastrous vnlcanic Eruption on the Great Danger Isiand-Ten Thoussnd People
 Suffer Death.


 VIDToRIA. B. G., August 1.-Par- ticulars of disastrous volcanic erup- tion on the Great Danger Island were brought in by Japanese vessel that gives an appalling list of casualties. It is estimated that 10, GOO people suf- fered death. One thousand bodies have been picked up in the sea near the island and scores of villages are completely devastated. Village after village was engulfed, hundre of peo- pie dropping into the cracks in the earth. The whole country is under a layer of mud, ashes and stone. and all vegetation either burned up by the awful heat of the volcanic fires or have been destroyed by the dense shower of ashes and dust. The country around Gunong Aroo and the sides of the hills were still steaming and smoking on June 9 Numerous volcanic jets throwing up columns of mud and stone, which fell in showers over the district, forming into hot streams, which in their downward course carried every thing before them. The district on the north side of the island is utterly de- stroyed, nutmegs aud cocoa plantations being laid in ruins, in many cases com pletely buried under the ashes, mud and lava from the crater.

itIs a Poser.

Arkadeiphla olfung.
 MT. House in his speech last Satur- day night put forth poser to the ad- vocates of the Third party demands when he asked why should the people give to the government five dollars in order that it might lend to them one dollar at 2 per cent interest on first mortgage securitiesp This certainly should put the most simple mind to thinking.
 Under the present laws enacted and perpetuated by the republicans, whom the Third party are working indirect ly if not directly to retain in power, it costs the people five dollars out of their pockets to leave one dollar in the gov ernment's pocket. The land loan bill and the subtreasury bill would be of no avail should they become laws un- less there was money i'll the treasury of the government to carry out their result? When the land owner and money there was in the treasury when erment would issue greenbacks to i'll up it's depleted coffers and as they again became empty the same process Ol AlOnCy looutu6 WOuio VNS when the end came-when the hold CTS of these greenbacks as they gath cred in the great money markets of the world came up to have these notes re- deemed the people would have to be taxed to pay for them. With the ex- ceptlon of the wind up our supposable case is just what our Third party friends are clamoring for--the unlim- Ited issuance of money to enable the government to loan at 2 per cent. However, the Third party advocates say that the only cost of money to the government would be the mechanical work of printing it and the paper and ink it was made of. No man with as much reason as ten year old child will believe such rot as this. Money all mOney-is nothing more nor less than the representative of values. In itself it can have no value unless 1t be made of some substance like gold and silver that has merchantable value in the markets of the world. Money stamped with the government fiat is d promise to pay--and whether soon or late the people have to do that paying.
 It is true that money issued to loans on land to the amount of fifty per cent of it's market value would be bottOmed on good security-the land. But when the individual failed to pay back the loan-and there are about D per cent of the people who mortgage for loans who never pay-cannOt pay-the land would be gathered in by the govern ment, and the farms which in the hands of the individuals yield suste- nance for the people must either cease to yield or the government would have to go to farming lon it's own hook. ? Away with such folly.
 The democratic doctrine is for the farmer to take the five dollars, pay the government his pro rata share of the cost of running the government eco nomically administered and keep the remainder in his pocket without mort gazing his land or its products, and without paying even the two per cent interest.

The Election Law.

| fHyctte DemOCfut.
 As much as has been said and pub | lished about the new election law we l find there is still good deal Of mis-
 understanding in regard to It. There is an impression among some that It IS
 very mysterious affair and hard to understand, when the fact IS 1t IS very
 simple and works like greased machin- cry. There is no mystery about It at all. Most of the new law is copied yer
 batim from the old law and it is anus
 ing to hear republican or thirdparty.
 ite denouncing a provision of the new
 law that has been on the statute books
 from time immamorial. The object of
 the new law was to meet the general demand for strictly secret ballot and
 we believe it will come very near doing this. The duties of the judges and clerks of elections are not changed in
 any material way. The changes in the law are as follow: Every ticket must be the same size, on white paper and they are to be furnished by tine county. There need not necessarily be a single name printed on the tickets. They can be left wholly or partially blank and in any event the voter can scratch all names off if he so desires and write the names of persons for whom he desires to vote in blank space left for that purpose. The right of the voter to cast his ballot for whom
 he chooses is not restricted in any. sense. The tickets are placed in the
 hands of the judges and when a man
 goes in to vote he is furnished ticket
 by the judges and he makes it out to suit himself, folds it up, hands it to the
 judges and it IS placed in the box in
 the same old way. The voter retires
 and another goes in and so on. If the
 democrats or republicans or Peoples
 party desire the names of their nOmi-
 nees printed on the tickets all they
 have got to do is to certify the names
 by the chairman and secretary of the
 convention or canvassing board, ac- |knowledged by an officer, and accom- panied by the county treasurer's re- ceipt for &. %, if it be county office, or $1 .O0 if it be a township office, to the
 county board. This will insure the printing of the names on the tickets. If man desires to run for a township office who is not the nominee of any party and wants his name printed on the tickets he has only to get up d pe- tition to the board and have it signed by ten voters and accompanied by the treasurer's receipt for one dollar This money is to reimburse the county for the tickets, but it is matter to be
 decided by the candidate as to whether his name is printed on the ticket or not It has not been general custom in the past to have the names of the candidates for township officers printed on the tickets and there is no more
 reason why they should be now. Ex- cept when going in to vote people are
 not allowed to remain nearer than 50
 feet of the polling place. So far as the voters and candidates are concerned the above is the new law in nut shell.

Too Much Bell Ringing.
Now York Press.

NOW | Ork frese.
 Mir. l.. F. Monsell, disabled inva. lid, who has publicly protested against
 the chimes of Grace church, undOubt-
 edly speaks for great many Otlser
 people besides himself in protesting
 against the inconsiderate ringing of church bells. That thoughtful cOnsid- eratiOn for the rights and comfort of others which the spirit of christianity
 implies is not maintained by churches
 which rend the air and pound the ear
 drum with excessive bell ringing. A
 soft and musical chime of bells for use on Sunday evenings and on holidays is not a nuisance, but a loud and fre- quent noise for the purpose of calling people to church is relic of the Mid-
 dle Ages, when clocks and watches were not frequent and when church bells spoke some of the news of the day with their tongues. The average
 church bell ought to be melted up and put into good bronze statutes for the people to look at. Bronze should be
 seen, not heard. As it is heard now it
 is as often prOyoker of profanity. as | summons to prayer.

Chills and hot flashes of very irregular duration and recurrence come and go without Seems ing cause. The hands and feet ar0 usually cold and clammy. and the ger- eral tendency is to dryness and cold ness of the skin of the whole body.
 Among the symptoms to which this class of patients are liable, but not always present, may be mentioned Deu- ralQic headache, nervous chills. hyste- ria, sinking or faint spells, distressing palpitation of the heart, defective eye sight, total inability to read, write, Of do any business; urine abundant, withs out color, and loss of flesh.

The RattIer and the Guinea Hon.

A few days ago, out by Mir. Nelm'a place near Americua, good lady who doesn't like nOtoriety heard guinea making terrible fuss and she pro- ceeded to investigate. She found a rattlesnake coiled up near the fowl. Eve herself could not kill the snake, and the good woman called for help. Help came and the snake was killed. The moment this was done the guinea dropped dead. It certainly was not struck by the snake. It didn't get sick and it didn't swell up. The explana- tion is that the fowl was charmed. Anyhow it died as soon as the snake was killed, and it certainly wasn't poisoned by ths snake.-Atlanta Con- stitutiOn.

DIVERSIFIED INDUSTRIES.

Samoan residents are endeavoring
to find a way out of the financial
stress caused by the shortage in their
one "basket of eggs"-the copra
crop. They have formed an Agri-
cultural Society, whose chief bust
ness will be the introduction of new
sources of industry from the vege-
table kingdom and the discovering
and exploiting of what they already
have in the native fora of those
islands. Mr.. Keppel, botanist who
has recently arrived for purposes of
exploration, is helping them by cor
responding with various other coun-
tries, and procuring and furnishing
seeds and plants of all varieties suit
able for profitable culture and ex-
port. From recent files of the Sa-
moa Times, which contain full re-
ports of the results of his efforts in
this line, we clip the following items
as being likely to be of interest here:
A letter from Java to Mr.. Keppel
says: "Java is now going in for Ii
berian Coffee cultivation on lands
not suited for the other variety.
should think Samoa would be good
place for its cultivation" We think
so too, for it has shown immunity to
the Cemiastoma fly, and is less af-
fected by Hemileia mould, while it
can be grown in hot countries down
to the coast level. Simmonds' "Tro-
pical Agriculture" says: "The large
berried variety begins to bear in the
third year, but has been known to
bear earlier. The first crop is
usually only few berries, but the
tree goes on increasing until it be-
comes capable of yielding 20 lbs,
and some very old trees have been
known to give "A lbs. each, but more
