The reason person sinks in quick.
sand Is because the latter is composed
chiefly OF small particles of mica mixed
largely with water. The mica is 80
smooth that the fragments slip upou
each other with the greatest facility,
30 that any heavy body which dis.
places them Will sink and continue to
sink until a solid bottom ia reached.
When particles of sand are ragged and
angular, any weight pressing on them
will crowd them together until they
are compacted into solid mass. A
rand composed of mica or soapstone,
when mixed with sufficient water,
seems incapable OF such consolidation.

Mr.. Harrison.on the Flag.

81
Mr.. Harrison has come out. boldly
for the flag on every school house.
Mr.. Harrison is considered a very
discreet man, and to haveithus taken
a stand Oh any question, mucn less
so great question as a flag ON
every school house, stamps him asa
man of highest courage. To be-
sure, there are other questions-as
tariff, money, transportation, labor,
etc.-that enter into our present
political campaign, but they are
comparatively insignificant. Even
the questions of having a house,
good teachers, good textbooks, and
all the children, white or black, rich
or poor, native or foreign, in the
schools, must take secondary place,
compared with the Importance Of
floating the starry banner in plain
view Of all beholders.
Mr.. Harrison's utterances at this
time cannot be too highly applaud
ed. Stock will tell. The grand
fathers blood proudly courses and
throbs in the veins Of the great
O.
grandchild, and, at sight Of the
star-spangled banner, fairly swells
and leaps for joy.
Now let Mr.. Cleveland speak.
Is he, too, for a flag on every school
house If not, let him say So
and then let the great free Ameri-
can choose whether they are in favor
of flag or not, and the campaign
would be greatly simplified by re-
ducing the questions to Flag or
no Flag

Neither Harrison 9r Cleveland
dare to define his positiep upon any
leading issue of the day. 1t is ad-
mitted that they both, in vague
terms, profess to be in favor Of GER
tain principles, said to be party
principles, but it amounts to moth
ing, since neither one of the old par
ties is explicit. As matter Of fact,
the. platforms can be scostrned to
mean two or three different things.
When Mr.. Harrison favors the
protection of American industries,
he fails to define what in his opinion
constitutes protection.
When Mr.. Cleveland writes long
letters on "tariff REFORM" he always
fails to state what, in his opinion,
would constitute a reform.
Mr.. Harrison, or the Republican
party, is very safe in favoring the
protection of American industries,
since every patriot will endorse
that principle; or, Mr.. Cleveland
and the Democratic party are per-
fectly safe in declaring for rariff 'e-
form, because all intelligent voters
believe in reform, wherever reform
is needed.
Both men and parties are right so
far as the principle goes, but when
it comes to methods, both parties
are wrong.
Mr.. Harrison and the Republican
party have inaugurated system Of
robbery of the leading American id
dustry to fatten another American
industry, and they teach the delud-
ed voter that theirs is the party of
protection of American industries.
Mr.. Cleveland and the Democrat
ic party, while loud in their protests
atoms of a desire for reform, have,
as yet, failed to outline any policy
that will furnish the reform needed.
The truth is that the Republican sys-
TEN of American robbery, that was
builded in war time, has become a
part of the Republican party. It
was born and grew to manhood un-
der the cry of "war necessity"
Since the war, it has been strength
ened until it has become a very po-
litical giant; and the cry now is,
protection for American indus
tries
If Mr.. Cleveland and the Demo
cratic party had the true spirit of re-
form, they would boldly attack the
whole system, and outline relief
measures. a
There is no reform in simply cur
failing an evil. The AK must be laid
at the root of the tree.

No reformer can be selfish. Self

The spirit of reform is as dead in

OLD SWISS SUGGESTIONS.

Eor Many Centuries the Mecntain Near
Lacsrns Was Haunted by Wrath.
The body Of the Roman governor, sf-
ter he had committed suicide at Bone
in disgrace, was thrown first of all into
the Tber, but was afterward removed
khence on account OF the storm which
ragged round that river. It was next
sent to Gaul, where, at Vienna, it was
consigned to the Rhone, says Good
Words. Later on, having been once
more transported-thist time to the lake
of Geneva-it was finally deposited in
the little tarn on the side of the we'll
known mountain near Ll1cerne, which
10 this hour bears his ill-omened name.
Even here the perturbed spirit broke
Eloose, dealing havoc and destruction. to
the neig hborhood, and, to total up this
long roll of superstition, the wrath
was one day encountered by a traveller,
and an engagement was then and there
entered into between them that the
former was to give itself rest forever,
with the stipulation thatit might break
loose from its prison house on one day
en- each year-Good Friday-when the
spirit, clothed In the red robe Of Office.
henceforward sat annually on a rock
nbove the lake, and whoever saw it
died before the year had run out. The
Iucerne magistraey prohibited all ap-
proach to the tarn, and in 1897 several
adventures were put into jail for dis
obedience of this ORDER. Later, in 1918,
permission was granted to four men of
science to approach this accursed piece
of water, and they then took the op
portunity of ascending the mountain.
in 1855 Konrad Gesner was allowed to
climb Pilatus with his friends, and
from that year the grim spell which had
tor so long bound5the mountains was
relaxed, and the Alps began TO be &C
