The vituperation OF the present day
often found expression in verse during
Clay's campaign. This doggere is
sort OF broadside at all the leaders OPP
posed to the Wing party:
First Tyler comes the boon to crave;
A laugh and hiss meet the traitor knavA.
He lowers his nose and sneakS away,
For he dares not face old Harry Clay.
Next sneaking in, Grimalkin Van

Hang up your fiddle, you're not the man.

Though six feet two he's nothing long.
But short or tall he'll be no higher;

While he loves black. he'll get blue.

Scores OF other songs helped to make
famous the fierce campaigns In which
Clay was the standard-bearer OF the
Wings. But they were OF no avail.
They did not make many votes, aud
when Clay was crushed by Polk 10 the
IA campaign mlnstrelsy as well ~ the
Wing party received serious setback.
Patriotic verse is doubtless pleasanter
than vituperative praise, but principles
win political fights these days. Still
we could stand Il good song or two so
long as they are not set TO the tune OF
"ra-ra-ra-bOom-d e-aye."

There is something rolicking In what
Is called the workingman's song, al
though it appears to have been written
for the fo'castle. 1t reads:
The tarswill man their gallant ships,
And fling the canvas free,

And cheerily put 10 sea.

And sing and hoist away,

And hoist in Henry Clay.
Early political history shows that all
OF Claws campaigns were run TO a large
extent on the minstrel plan. The Wings
seemed TO be as full OF verse and paro-
dies as the Salvation Army warriors OF
our day, When the Wing leader was
making his race against Jackson land
Jackson, by the way, turned Clay down
in a harsh way this queer song made
its appearance and became quite popu-
lar.
Old Uncle Sam had q strong whim-wham,
A silly whim-wham had he.
He called for his fddlers and danced In Jam

The Wings had what they called a
national song. This was sung In the
Clay-Polk campaign, and segRested, II
is claimed, by q speech made By Clay 10
1912, when be said:

The humorist was not idle in those eX

labor OF the grim and severely earnest
WhiQ. and when things were tagging he
let loose four verses 10 the tune oil

One song OF the Wings was set TO the
tune of Remember the day when Erln's
proud glory" II was made up OF seven
verses. One OF them is as follows:
pomenber the dav when our banner unfurled

When the spirits of Washington, Madison

A Wing was the cry

When freedom directed the storm.
As the campaign drew to close 1t was
evident that Polk was about TO deliver
the same kind OF welt OH Clay's neck
that jackson administered few years
before. The Wings became alarmed
and began to sing with greater zeal.
There was an appeal in every line tc

Come one and all, obey the call,

No Fun Catching Sharks.

AS game fishes the sharks do not, I
think, stand high the most common of
them, the dusky shark, when hooked,
circles round on the surface and usually
bites off the line and escapes. If so
hooked that the line can not be cut, the
struggle is furious and short, the shark
giving up in much less time than game
fish of half his size, such as a channel
bass, salt water trout, or snapper would
do.
once hooked shark about five feet
long which fought longer than usual, and
when brought to gaff he was found to be
hooked in side fin, SO that he retained
his full powers. SO also with the ham
mer head. The shovel nosed shark Ihovo
found to be the most active of them.
The nurse shark lies on the bottom, and
its bite is not felt or its presence known
to the angler till he raises his rod, then
the fish comes up like log, without re-
sistance.-Trout and Stream.

Presidential Boards.

1t is an interesting fact that President
Van Buren, was the only President previ-
Gus to Lincoln who wore hair on his face
and Andrew johnson was the only Presi-
dent after Lincoln who wore smooth
face. Since the war boards have pre-
dominated. They adorned the faces of
Presidents Lincoln Grant, Hayes, Gar
field, and Harrison. The element of
whiskers, pure and simple, was repre-
sented by President Arthur, while Grover
Cleveland enjoys the distinction of being
the only President who wore mustache
without beard or whiskers. Upon TAX
ing summary the following ratio APP
pears Fifteen Presidents wore smooth
faces, four wore beard and mustache,
two wore side whiskers, one wore beard
and side growth, and one wore mustache
alone. Aside from the appearance of
their faces, with or without growth of
hair, the true embodiment of each nat
ure can readily be read from their coun-
tenances. Traits of character can read
lily be distinguished. philadelphia Rec

One of the most curious inventions of
this inventive age is what is called plati-
nized glass. A piece Of glass is coated
with an exceedingly thin layer Of q
liquid charged with platinum, and is
then raised to red heat. The platinum
becomes united to the glass in such way
as to form very odd kind Of mirror
The glass has not lost its transparency.
and yet if one places it against wall
and looks at it he sees his image as in an
ordinary looking glass. But when light
is allowed to come through the glass
from the other side, as when it is placed
in a window it appears perfectly trans
parent like ordinary glass.
By constructing a window OF plati-
nized glass one could stand close behind
the panes, in an unilluminated room,
and behold clearly everything going on
outside, while passersby looking at the
window would behold only fine mirror
OF set of mirrors, in which their own fig
ures would be reflected, while the person
inside remained invisible.
In France various tricks have been con-
.rived with the aid of this glass. In one
person seeing what appears to be an or
dinary mirror approaches it to look at
himself. A sudden change in the
mechanism sends light through the glass
from the back, whereupon it instantly
becomes transparent, and the startled
spectator finds himself confronted by
some grotesque figure which has been
hidden behind the magic glass What
wonders might not a magician of the
dark ages have wrought if he could have
bad piece of platinizcd glass'

5lgmificance OF the Fact That There Are
13 Converts In Parliament.

5lgmificance of the Fact That There Arc
13 Converts In Parliament.
Since the mikado, whose authority has
continued in Japan for the past 1000
years according to japanese annals),
chose to concede part of this authority
to the people, granting them consttu-
tional government, and the privilege OF
electing their own representatives i'll the
newly composed parliament, the rise of
the Christian element among the Japan
ese has been very marked, and the sclec-
ton of members of this faith to fill many
of the important offices under the gov
crnment has been quite as noticeable.
In the present parliament there are 13
baptized Christians and several others
who profess that faith, but have not yet
received the rite of baptism. This num-
Der, out of total of 800 composing the
parliament is very good showing for
the Christians. If this average is pre-
served throughout Japan it would show
that Christianity now numbers over H.
500, 900 converts among people who, 20
years since, had hardly Christian within
their country.
Looking at this in another light it be-
comes even more interesting, for it has
always been claimed that though Christ
ianity made some progress among the
lower orders Of Japanese, yet it made
none among the higher. The inference
suggested by the number of Christians
in this, the second elected house of rep
resentatives, directly contradicts this
theory, for it shows that whereas the
percentage of converts in Japan does not
exceed 81 in every 10000, yet the CORE
spending percentage in the class from
which members of the house of repre-
Gentatives are drawn is 443. In this cal
cu]ation the total lumber of Christians
Of all denominations in Japan is assumed
to be 100, 900. the number heretofore con-
ceded as belonging to that faith.

For Brides to Ponder.

Two ladies, evidently mother and
daughter, got on an elevated train, and
encountered in the car young man who
knew them quite well, apparently.
When the young lady told him she had
just been buying her wedding gown, he
said:
"By Jove, must 60 and be measured
for my clothes.
Haven't you done that YETI" she
asked in an amused way, well you're

Then he asked her how much the gown
cost yard, and how it was to be made.
When she said with low cut corsage
and short sleeves, he entered a vigorous
protest.

"Why not?" smiling, though half in-
clined to pout.
Because, my dear, marriage is sac.

There was a suspicion of moisture in
her eyes as she answered:

save the woman who sat next to them,
apparently absorbed in the evening paper.

Tunes with NV words.

Tunes with NV words.
Some of the old transformations Of
3ougs are due to what must originally
have been very much like theft. Thus.
"Wilie. We Have Missed You" is only
raraphrase of the famous Scotch song.
"Jock o Hazledean." The vet more
celebrated John Anderson, My Jn" is
suspciously like. "Whrn Johnnie Comes
Marching Home Again. a popular song
of war time. But sometimes these re-
semblances to Scotch music come about
very innocenty. Thus strathspry is
changed into loft in the Silly Night, :"
and this is by no means a distant relative
to Nearer, My God to Thee, " thus max
ing favorite hymn tune first cousin to
an ungodly and very energetic dance
Such changes might occur through the
unconscious retention of tune in the
mind, as once happened to Mendellsohn
while composing elijah: He had
heard "Auld Robin Gray" sung to Leeve's
tune this popular melody is not the
original tune which went with the
words) and the melody clung to his mem
Dry without his being aware of the fact.
When, therefore, he set the words of
"Oh, Rest in the Lord, to the extreme
horror of the publisher, lie used Leeve's
tune without in the least being conscious
of plagiarism.
When his attention was called to the
fact he altered the melody; but the care
full observer will still discover some
thing of the flavor of "Auld Robin Gray "
in "Oh, Rest in the Lord" Many of the
songs of the German students have been
stolen and reproduced in new guises on
this side of the Atlantic. maryland, My
Maryland, for example is note for note
the old German song, 80 Tannebaum, a
song in praise of fidelity. The simple
little song so often heard in kindergarten
or Sunday school as "Oh, Come, Como
Away" is one of the most popular
of student songs; but in Germany it rep
resents the merits of a fiery punch called
Crambambuli.
Our national music is full of metamor-
phoses akin to those mentioned above
yankee Doodle" being old English,
"The Star Spangled Banner" a jovial
drinking song, and America, the Eng
liSh national anthem. Even the hymnol-
ogy is not exempt from these inoppor-
tune resemblances, for Sun of My Soul "
is not very far from Mozart's "Se Vuol
Ballare," and many other instances of
metamorphoses could be cited. But
enough has been noted to prove that Sol

applied to music.-Boston Musical Her

THE GIFT.

Life came to me and spoke:
"A palace for thee have built
Wherein to take thy pleasure;
/ have filled it with priceless treasure;
Seven days shalt thou dwell therein,
Thy Joy shall be keener than sin,
Without the stain of guilt
Enter the door of oak!"
| ent cred the oaken door;
Within, no ray of light,
/ saw no golden store,
My heart stood still with fright;
To curse life was fain;
Then one unseen before
Laid in my own her hand,
And said: Come thou and know
This Is the House of Woe
am Life's sister, Pain"
III.
Through many breathless way
In dark, on dizzying height,
She led me through the day
And into the dreadful night;
My soul WAS sore distressed
And wildly longed for rest
ill a chamber met my sight,
Far off, and hid. and still.
With diamonds all bedight
And every precious thing:
Not even a god might will
More beauty there to bring.
Then spoke Life's sister, Pain:
Here thou as king shalt reign,
Here shalt thou take thy pleasure,
This is the priceless treasure
The chamber of thy delight
Through endless day and night;
Rejoice, this is the end;
Thou hast found the heart of friend"
