BEER FROM HEATHER.
A Secret That Died with the Picts Of
GALLOWAY,

A Secret That Died With the Piots of
Galloway.
The pleasant pastures near Kirkcud-
bright are specially rich in white clover,
which produces honey of a greenish
tint and exquisite favor, and we shall
not be suspected of touting if we recon-
mend those who fare sumptuously every
dav to ask London tradesmen, to whom
it is well known, to supply them with
Borgue honey. Not less blessed is he
who can spread his roll with butter
and heather honey: the prejudice
against its dark amber hue has long
been overcome, and it is less cloying
and more aromatic than that made
from white clover It is not generally
known. however. that. for some reason
not easy to divine, bees can turn the
heather grown in moses to no good ac
count it is on the uplands only where
the apariau can plant his ''skeps" with
the certainty of an upland harvest.
Heather still blooms bravely on the
Galloway hills, bat thirsty shepherds
recall wistfully the days when it was
made to yield something of more potent
virtue than honey. The ancient Pictish
secret of brewing heather ale Is lost,
and the manner OF losing it is recorded
in local legend

A Whack at Kansas,

From the New York Tribune.
1t is the co nmon belief that Vergen-
mes, Vt, which was incorporated in 1888
and now contains only 1,113 inhabitants,
is the smallest city in the United States.
People who hold this belief, however,
are vastly mistaken. They are not
aware of the facility with which cities
are created under the elastic laws of the
state of Kansas, which has no limit on
the inferior side to determine when a
village may assume the dignity of city
hood. In that state there are no less
than 1862 incorporated cities. while the
total number of cities in the United
States is only about 1867. OF the 362
Kansas cities, only sixteen have more
than 5000 inhabitants, 315 have less
than 2, 600, 266 have less than 1. 900, and
ten have less than 100 inhabitants apiece.
At the date of the last census, the duly
Incorporated cities of Avilla and Apo
mattox in that state rejoced in the sum
total of thirty-four Inhabitants each
The absurdity of Il system which permits
such u state of things ought to bring
about a change in the laws that would
make it impossible.

Wants to BE an Alderman.

Sig. Mascagni, the composer Of tho
"Cavalleria Rusticana," according To
Milan papers, is not satisfied with the
honors thrust upon him as musician.
He has political ambitions. In Livamo,
where he lives, he was a candidate re-
Gently for election to the town council.
So earnest was his desire TO be city IA
ther that he laid aside his musical work
for fourteen days to devote himself TO
the less harmonious task of electionccr-

who defy the young man as Il composer,
evidently did not wish TO see him waste
his time with politics, and failed to
elect him. Mascagni, it is said. feels
the defeat keenly. and is determined to

Free traders entrench themselves be-
hird the assertion that the Mckinley
law has not increased the wages of me-
chanics in this country and rest on that
argument q to array the people against
the law. Suppose, for the sake of arSu-
ment, that the assertion is true: if the
operation of the law has not reduced
wages (Which the free traders do not
claim but has SO stimulated industries so
as to give employment to thousands who
were idle before the law went into effect,

To the Editor of tie Eagle.
In the Peoples parade yesterday the
cold soldier" contingent of the Calam-
ityites carried banner with the follow
inscription upon it: eve Vote as We
Shot" AS a Republican and survivor of
a fighting regiment of the side of the
Union, the above declaration, coming
from the source it does, leads me to ask
'where was A. w. Harris at when all
this shooting was going on?' Perhaps
limited service and dread of too close
proximity to a rebel line of battle and
their willingness to vote sin the air.
next November will explain the con-
nection between their voting and shoot
ing and the harmless character of both.

The country at large sympathizes with
President Harrison in his deep sollcitude
for the life Of his companion, which
seems to be on the balances. Republi-
cans extant will miss his wise counsel
and encouragement in the present cam
paign by reason of his domestic situa-
ton, but they will not be in the least dis
couraged thereat: their reliance is in the
business of their cause and the intelli-
gence of the people.

From the Salina Republican
Jerry Simpson is compromising d
felony and should be sent to the Denl
tertiary. In speech at Sterling last
week he reiterated the charges he made
in congress against the interior
department in regard to the Cherokee
strip. He further asserted that he could
produce evidence that the president
when a United States senator accepted a
part of the bride which the cattle barons
put up. If Jerry was only honest-but
then he is not, SO there is no use to
further discuss that question. He ad-
mits that he knows of evidence that
would make felon Of Harrison, and he
IS as bad himself by Withholding it.
