John Bull skstched.

Portuguese boy in a Malacca public school
says the New York Tribune, has written an
essay on ''The English. " from which the follow
ing choice extracts are made, with the explana-
ton that "docut" means dogcart.
English is very proud and very white They
are mostly governors, schoolmasters, policemen,
magistrates and few are lawyers and doctors
and banks and many other things. They never
work. They wear hats and boots and ride in
docuts. Some English goes to church. but only
once, They are clever tennis and ball games
and drinks much brandy and other things
of many things. One of their great delights
smoking cigars and shooting and raining coming
home in it, English is clever at all thinga En-
glish is very fierce. If anybody does something
they swear dam. English women is few They
ride ana play music and sing and make faces.
1t is easy no work nor little housed.
II don't know any more English. That is all
know"

A Fortunate Accident.

Following the recent decision Of the
United States circuit court of appeals in the
somewhat famous incandescent electric
lamp suit, sustaining the Edison patent,
comes the announcement of discovery
which may have considerable effect on the
development and cost of electric lighting
The discovery, made by one of the experts
employed by the Westinghouse Electric
Company. was an accident, it is said. The
Westinghouse people had been engaged for
some time in preparing themselves against
such decision as was finally rendered, and
to that end conducted elaborate experiments
in iucandescent lamps, so that they might,
il possible, produce one that would be
effective. no more costly than the Edison
lamp and no infringement on the Edison
patent. They claim TO have done this, and
more.
During their experiments, by chance, it
was found that in place of the costly plati-
mum wire, which gives OFF the light in the
Edison lamp, a common iron wire could be
used. A scientific explanation of the new
lamp has been, Of course, withheld. That
is trade secret, and one which
the owners may be expected to guard ieal-
| ously. But they assert that the iron wire
lamp will burn longer and brighter and re-
tain its candle power a greater length of
time than the platinum wire lamp. And.
as platinum is more costly than gold, the
difference in price will be very great.
II the story of this discovery should prove
| true, it would add another TO the list of
happy accidents which have given the world
SO many benefits. 1t would also add
another interesting chapter TO the almost
romantic story Of electric lighting, which,
since the first lights were produced by
means Of the wonderful new agent, has
quite equaled some Of Vernes flights of i'm
aRination.
What effect the alleged discovery will
have on electric stocks remains TO be seen.
But what interests the consumer more. is
what effect is it likely to have on the cost Of
electric lighting9 Had there been no new
lamp discovered the chances are that after
the courts decision prices would have been
run up and the consumer OF electricity
made to pay the cost of the long and expen-
sive litigation that has just been ended.
II the new lamp should prove a success -,
however, sharp competition between the
companies makiug the old lamp and those
making the new would be likely to set in, in
which case the consumer could view the
battle with composure.

AS showing from what unsupported
sources a violent epidemic may spring, the
heal authorities Of Columbus, o.. call at
tention to an epidemic Of diphtheria at New
California. in that state, recently investi-
gated by q member of the board. The
origin OF the disease is accounted for In
this way: A child died at Plain City a year
ago from what was called membraneous
Group. but what, no doubt, was diphtheria.
The ohiid's mother kept its playthings until
few weeks ago, whom she gave them to
the children of a friend at New California.
In a few days all the children in the house
hold had contracted the disease and two had
died. The disease rapidly spread. and is
epidemic now at Sidney, Canton, PALMYRA.
Troy, PiGus, Defiance aud Duncan Falls.
and sixteen cases are reported in Columbus
The lesson to be learned from the epidemic
and the investigation is that the only safe
method of disposing OF the clothing, bedding
and articles handled by persons suffering
from epidemic disease is to cremate them,
No disease germs can survive fire.

M R,nine,s snasch.

There must be joy in republican circles,
Mr.. Blaine has spoken. Candidate White
law Reid managed to coax him TO Ophir
Farm on personal visit. with the result
that q speech has been unwillinglY drawn
from him. 1t is worthy of note thai ex'
Senator Thomas C. Platt's reconciliation
was preceded by personal visit to Ophir
Farm. During that visit, it is to be pre-
sumed from subsequent events, he was
placated. Is it not natural TO draw the in
ference that Mr.. Blaine was led into the
same trap for the same purposel
OF Mr.. Blaine's speech there isnot q great
deal to be said. After swallowing his
myrrh in his third sentence, by mentioning
the name of the President and paying per-
functory compliment 70 his administration,
he plunged at once into a series of g!itterIns
generalities and republican stock srGu-
ments- There was nothing new or strIk ug
in the whole length OF the speech. Inc
prosperity Of the country, as whole IS
not denied by anybody. The democrats
however, assert in arguments that caunot
be successfully controvertsd By the repuo-
licaus, that the prosperity has been IN spite
Of the Mckinley law and not through lts
operations. The statement that Ne" Noek
is more of a manufacturing city than
commercial city was not proved, and those
who regard it otherwise have strong facts
to submit in their support. But, even II
New York were greater as a manufacturer
than as a buyer seller and shipper, is that a
sufficient reason for taxing all consumers
60 - 81 ,F n fau r1aurFarluraFnt
The attempt TO deride the condition OF the
| people in certain western states was
not worthy Mr.. Blaine. There can be no
question that distress has been prevalent in
the we5t-in the south. too, to q certain ex-
tent for some time Good crop prospects in
both sections however, have frightened the
outlook and made the people more hopeful
OF the future. They are not unmindful,
though, that during the time of their neces-
sity their coats, hats, blankets, boots aud
shoes, agricultural implements, cordsge to
be used in binding grain, and other neces>
saries-even to castor oil for the baby aud
salt to put in the bread-were taxed by the
republicans in order to transfer what little
money they may have had from their
pockets to the pockets of the pets Of protec-
ton.
Mr.. Blaine's speech nowhere indicated
that he had become an enthusiastio Harri-
son aud Reid man. 1t appears to have
been delivered more to satisfy long-telt
want than for any other purpose. The
want, it may be remarked, involved some
thing to offset Senator Hills Brooklyn
speech. And Mr.. Blaine furnished it. Like
Senator Hill, he mentioned the name OF the
candidate of his party once only. But there
the parallel ends. Senator Hill made the
mention OF Cleveland's name the climax of
a splendid peroration and of his speech.
Mr. Blaine said Harrison" just as quick as
he could frame a sentence to hold the word.

The Old Republican Game.

From the Elnli,a IN. " Gazette denny.
Bribery and bulldozing are republican reli-
ances. The manufacturers are to put up the
money to buy the venal and at the same time,
so far as possible, they to stand over their
own men with orders and threats to compel
them 10 vote the republican ticket. 1t is the
old programme. but the new laws against bull
doing and securing the secrecy of the ballot

Lips and Eyes,

That il dare to grow

Her ssucy lips say mo"
At other times her words are kind,
But then her eyes are dumb;
Still, if my prayers avail, some day
My happiness will come.
For, since l know with her alone
It lies my life to bless,
hourly pray that lips and eyes
May some time both ssY-"Yes."
