HARRISON If Not Blaine, says MoKenzi

Harrison IF Not Blaine, Says Mckenzie.
NEW YORK, Special, April 12.-Alex.
Mckenzie of North Dakota, in an inter-
view here, said: "The republicans in
North Dakota are disposed to let things
drift until they get to Minneapolis before
deciding what they will do there. There
is not much favorable feeling toward Pres
ident Harrison that expresses itself, but
nevertheless the delegation is quite likely
to support his nomination unless some
stronger candidate appears. Cleveland is
very strong in North Dakota by reason Of
the judicial appointments that he has
made there when he was president, and as
between President Harrison and ex-Presi-.
dent Cleveland, it will be close race in
North Dakota this year. There are a
number Of states In the Northwest where
there is great danger of the Farmers AL
lance movement. North and South Da-
kota, Nebraska, Minnesota and Iowa are
states in which the democrats are making
oyertures TO the Farmers Alliance people
to put up independent electoral tickets,
which the democrats promise they will sup
Eport. The election Of Farmers Alliance
electors in two OF! three Of these states
might throw the presidential election into
the national house Of representatives. It
Is at this result that the democrats are
aiming, knowing that they cannot carry
any Of these states on q straight contest
with the republicans. There are great
many features Of politics in our section.

Legs Not Of Equal Length.

The fact that people lost on desert
or in forest invariably walk in circle
is due to slight inequality III the length
OF the legs. Careful measurement of a
series of skeletons have shown that only
ten FER cent. had tho lower limbs equal
in length; tbirty.fve per cent. had the
right limb longer than the left; while in
fifty-fve per cent. the left leg was the
longer. The result Of one limb being
longer tnau the other will naturally be
that a person will, unconsciously, take q
longer step with the longer limb, and
consequently will tread to the right or to
the left, according as the left or right
leg is the longer, unless the tendency to
deviation is corrected by the eye. The
left leg being more frequently the longer,
as evidenced by measurement of the
skeleton, the inclination should take
place more frequently to the right than
to the left, and this conclusion Is quite
borne out by observations made on a
number Of persons when walking blind
folded. Further, adds Persons Weekly,
on measurement Of the arms, 1t is found
that in seventy.two per cent. the right
arm is longer than the left; while in
twentY-four per cent. the left arm is the
longer, showing that considerable ma
jority of persons are right.handed and
left-legged. The inequality in the length
of the limbs 10 not confined to any par
ticular sex or race, but seems TO be uni
yersal in all respects.

History OF the Clover Plant.

History is full of statements long ac-
cepted as truths, which in the light OF
modern criticism could never have oc-
Cured. We look to natural history as
something more certain, but even there
it frequently happens that the most posi-
tive statements have to be modified by
subsequent experience. European phil
osophical works, aiming to establish GER
tain deductions, often build on supposed
facts that many are 10th to accept. An
illustration of this weakness among the
students of science relates to the intro
duction of the Japan clover into America.
1t has been stated as an unqualified fact
that this plant, twas accidentally intro
duced with imported goods from China
into Charleston about the year 1S49."
The use of the word s'about" shows an
uncertainty that ought not to have
allowed the statement to have been ac-
cepted as fact in botanical geography.
1t now appears that DR.. Thomas G. Por-
ter collected the plant in Central Georgia,
in August, 1886, and in locality sug-
gestive of its having had home in Amer
lea some time before. It might be
objected that the matter Is not one of
great Importance, but In science absolute
accuracy in the smallest particular is
valuable for its own sake. One of the
claims of natural history for an advanced
position in the educational series, is that
it leads to habits of accuracy of observa-
ton and of statement that torn a strong
point in human character.-New York
Independent.

Naturally the cleaning of the bottom
of the sea along the coast eventually
exhausted the accessible supply of the
valuable resin, and from %, 400 pounds
in 1881 the trove dropped to 5000
pounds in 1883, so that diving had to
be discontinued, and will not be re-
sumed until the Government permits
submarine undermining. The rapid
action of dynamite is then to take the
place of the work of divers, whose move
meats are awkwardly hampered by the
necessarily stiff and heavy rubber suit
and brass helmet.
At the present time amber is mined
from that portion Of the "blue eartn"
stratum which extends into terra tlrma.
Difficulties that only the genius of
modern engineers were able to over
coms, to-wit, the penetration of quick:
sands and layers of gravel that admitted
water from the sea, prevented extensive
diggings until very recent time.
Now, however, drift that slants
downward to depth of 12O feet gives
access to tunnels running in every di-
rection.
Out of 2,43O,000 cubic feet of "blue
earth" were taken 4O5, 200 pounds of
amber, valued at nearly $500, 900, last
year by mining.
Every miner has strapped to him a
bag in which he collects the large pieces
of the valuable commodity. The loosened
dirt is carried away in small carts, which
are hoisted to the surface by elevators,
and is then dumped into large bin,

WHAT Is ITS LESSON?


There Is famous picture in one Of the
galleries of Europe which is called "The
Monks Kitchen" The room is exceedingly
plain, the furniture scanty, but the work Is
being done by angels; one washes the Dishes
another scrubs the floor, another rakes the
fire; all art perfectly at home in their re-
spective work. Nobody knows just what
the picture Is intended to represent, but any
one may make guess; what is yours? Mine
is that the white-winged ceestias are not
specialists, but are general practitioners;
that they have a mission to human need
and that, filed with heavenly grace, they
find their highest felicity In their self-adap-
tation. Is there not something In our
natures which Graves place for the sen.
timental somewhere in the Fatherhood
of God? You 60 into parlor whose win
dows are magnificently draped, on whose
walls are paintings Of rarest cost and beauty,
whsse furniture is Of massive mahogany up
holstered with exquisite taste; II there Is no
bric-a.brac, il every chair is at the same an
gle and every picture at the same elevation,
you confess at once the grandeur, you miss
and sigh for the homelike. So II in our
thought God is invested with the sublimi-
ties-his omnisclence, his omnipresence, his
omuipotence, il to us he is the Creator, the
Governor. the Judge, our souls will be
awed, but they will sigh for sight In God
of the brother with his familiar embrace,
the friend with his loving accommodation to
our peculiarities Of temperament and cir
cums!ance.-[ Pulpit Treasury.

"MY PAPA DRINKS"

The policemen Of this city see many iPci-
dents and witness bits Of life which never
come to the public attention. An example
Of this has lately been experienced by OH
Ger Heron, who some time ago received
letter from a little girl named Floroncs
Hoover at Waynesvlle, written 10 childish
way, but telling an affecting, story: me
girl wanted to know what had become OF
her father. George w. Hoover, who she said
had left their home some time ago. and had
never CAME back. She said she thought that
Mr.. Heron might know about him, because
she heard be was in Bloomington.
my papa drinks " she wrote land We
are ali very sorry, but we don't know where
oiooI for him. Please find him and take
care of him for me-" The simple childish
appeal stirred the sympathy Of the police
man, and he made most diligent search
for the whereabouts OF the missing father.
1t was OF no use. however, and be wrote to
the girl telling her of his failure to find her
father. The officer will keep the letter OF
the girl as memento, and says that such
stimulus would spur him on to greater effort
to find missing man than would the offer
of a big reward. ltul Leader.

Whenever a storm churns and lashes
the waves then large masses of this
green tangle are torn from the bottom
and often carry with them pieces of
amber, the resin Of fossil pines, which
being but slightly heavier than salt
water will float in the network Of weeds.
Upon bringing the floating meadows,
that cover the sea after propitious gale,
ashore at given points, there depends
an enormous gain to the amber fisher,
who has rented certain portions of the
shore from the crown.
At those times the villages on the sea-
; board are all astir with excitement. No.
body thinks of rest, day or night, and
every one Is on the alert, ready to fly to
the edge of the waves at the first alarm
from the watchers. Men defy the roar
ing breakers, and, standing up to their
shoulders in the seething foam, catch
wisps of seaweed in long nets and fling
them shoreward, where the women and
children gather from them the yellow
Jewels of the sea.
In this manner as much as $14, 900
worth is known to have been gathered in
a single night. But in spite OF the most
rapid work it is not always possible to
bring all the cast up amber ashore; the
large pieces, especially, are apt to sink.
They are gathered by means of long
handled nets, called 'scatchers," )" when
bright day and a placid sea enables the
amber-6sher's sight to penetrate the
limpid water. Inasmuch as it is often
necessary to turn over huge rocks, this
work is very laborious; yet a case is
known where 5000 worth of amber amply
repaid four men for summer days
drudgery.
Recently, however, this mode has been
entirely abandoned in favor of one more
in keeping with modern ingenuity and
inventions.
The company now having charge OF
the entire industry recognized some
twenty years ago the fact that the largest
pieces of amber could not be easily
moved by the waves on account OF their
weight, and that, therefore, a lucrative
harvest could be gathered directly from
the submerged portion of the amber
growing stratum.
Accordingly divers were imported
from France, but the very first attempt,
though thoroughly satisfactory from .
commercial point of view, demonstrated
that Frenchmen were not able to stand
the rigid climate of eastern Prussia and
Lithuanians were substituted foe them.

RELIGIOUS READING.
THE WAITING ONES.

THE WAITING ONES.
There are some among the bleseed
Waiting, watching every day,
Peering through the misty shadows
TO the clear and lighted way;
Listening in the dusky twilight,
Waiting even in the night,
Mid the toll and heat of MONDAY
Bending forward to the light.
And they speak in eager whispers
"Can we see His chariot YETI"
"Will the Master come this EVENING""
"Will the heavenly Friend forget"
So they stand, these earnest servants,
Waiting watching evermore
For the clouds to part asunder,
And reveal the open door.
There are dark-browed ones among them.
Looking through their eyes of night;
There are fair-haired little children
Peering up with faces bright;
There are aged pilgrims, longing
For the Masters spoken word;
There are some in every country
Waiting, watching for the Lord.
But they take their daily duties,
And perform them as for Him;
And they read His loving message
When their eyes are tired and dim.
They are living lives of blessing
Lives of love for His dear sake,
While they wait with eager longing.
For the morn Of joy to break.
He will come, and will not tarry;
He will fold them to His breast;
He will make His watchers happy
In calm and holy rest.
He will give them satisfaction
For their days of waiting here;
He will fill them with JOY unceasing
When the Master shall appear.

Glass Will Dull q Diamond.

The diamond, I believe, is generally
cited as an example of the most inde-
structible substance, and it is usually
thought that 1t cannot be worn away
except by special appliances. Every
glazier who uses diamond for glass cut
ting knows that this is not so. A
diamond, if used in scratching glass con-
tinuously for a month, will become use
less as regards the point used. 1t must
be reset and the other point employed
for cutting, which at the end Of another
ruonth will also become useless, and the
stone valueless for cutting glass. Other
points can, of course, be made by arti-
fetal means, but, curiously enough, they
will not cut glass. This is probably for
the reason that the natural point is crys-
talized in a peculiar manner, giving it
hardness, which cannot be initiated ari-
6cally.-St. Louis Star Saying.
