storks Are Queer Creatures.

The owner of a house near Berlin
found single egg in the nest of a pair
of storks, built on the chimney, and sub
stituted for it a goose's egg, which in
due time was Matched, and produced a
gosling instead of the expected storkling
The male bird was thrown into the great
est excitement by this event, and finally
flew away. The female, however, re-
manned ON the nest and continued to care
for the changeling as though it were her
own offspring. On the morning of the
fourth day the male reappeared accom-
panied by nearly 500 storks, which held
a mass meeting in an adjacent field.
The assembly, we are informed, was ad-
dressed by several speakers, each orator
posting himself on the same spot before
beginning his harangue. These delibera-
tions and discussions occupied nearly
the entire forenoon, when suddenly the
meeting broke up, and all the storks
pounced upon the unfortunate female
and her supposititious young one, killed
them both, and, after destroying the
polluted nest, took wing and departed
and were never seen there again,-At-
lantic Monthly.

the chest. The sleeves were loose and
turned up with facings from beneath;
while full dress, lace ruffies depended
over the hand. Also the coat was faced
with different colored lining, which it
showed when unbuttoned. When walk
ing, the skirts, faced also, were turned
back and buttoned up to two buttons on
the back.
'Gradually it was Topped and reduced
to the thing it now is. The skirts in
front were cut away instead of being
turned back But the two foolish but
tons behind were still kept after their
use had gone. The front was perma-
nently turned, and the coat made too
narrow to button, the foolish cuts now
remaining in the collar representing the
old division of the front lappels.
"As time went on, more and more of
the skirts were cut away, until they
were reduced to the ridiculous swallow
tail. in which Beau Brummel said there
was safety The collar was then piled
up behind the facings, and colors were
done away with, and thus. little by lit
tie, grew up the glorious thing called a
dress coat"

A Regim entail Goat.

The royal regiment of Welsh fusiliers
has the privilege of passing in review,
preceded by goat with gilded horns
and adorned with flowers. Every March
1, ON st. David's day, after the banquet,
his goatshipis led thrice round the table
by a boy. In 1874 the then regimental
goat died, and to compensate the
twenty-third for their loss her majesty
presented the regiment with two of the
finest goats from a fiock-the gift of the
shah of Persia-in Windsor park, and
since that date the queen has continued
to supply tine royal Welsh fusiliers with
goats as occasion has required.-Pall
Mall Budget.

PUBLIC OPINION.
TO SUPPRESS ANARCHY.


Pittsburgh Dispatch.
1t is reported that the King of Belgium
proposes to call conference of European
powers to discuss the question of an
archy and to study the best means for
its suppression. The conference is to
be indorsed in the hope that it will lead
to a due enlightenment of European
monarchs and statesmen as to the cause
of anarchy and the change of policy
which must follow such an accession of
new information.
Ifthe nti-Anarchists conference gives
to the question of Anarchists or Socialist
agitation that impartial and exhaustive
investigation it requires they will find
that its root lies in inequalities which
result from the social organization under
existing government. Natural Unequal
tiles do not produce anarchistic opinions.
No man will ever propose to blow up
society with dynamite because he can
not add cubit to his stature or because
his neighbor was in youth quicker at
mastering the Rule of Three. But it is
where the inequalities established by
government in its broadest sense place
burdens or disadvantages on the masses
to the advantage of certain favored
classes that the dissatisfaction exists
which nourishes the theory of recon-
structing society with explosives.
1t is clear deduction that the way
for the European governments to sup
press anarchy is to make government so
clearly and impartially for the benefit
of the whole that the people will defend
it as their greatest privilege. When
government establishes itself in the
popular estimation as a protection and
defense, Anarchist seed will find no
ground to take root. But to suppress
anarchy in that w8y the people must
not be burdened- with the maintenance
of great armies to crafty an imperial
ambition, nor must society open the
doors of preferment and fortune to a
favored class and close them to the
masses.
The lesson which European powers
need to learn on this topic is not with
out value for this country. For, while
our government is in theory for the
benefit of the whole people, there is
sometimes a vast difference between
theory and practice.

seven out of the last eight Presidential

There is ample reason for Republican
confidence. The Democracy, which rode
into power in the House of Representa-
tives on tide of falsehood, is to-day
divided and disheartsned. The partisan
lies about Mckinley prices" once so
effective, have recoiled upon the heads
of their inventors. The people have
found that the Mckinley law has re-
suited in lowering the cost of almost
every domestic product to the consumer.
while under its operations our home
market has been made secure, our in
dustries have taken fresh strides in de-
velopment, wages have been high, work
plentiful, and our foreign commerce has
reached proportions never before equal
ed. The administration OF President
Harrison has been wise, sound and
patriotic. Ii has maintained the honor
of the nation and stood, an impregnable
bulwark, for protection and honest
money at home. 1t has made both its
party and the nation stronger.
The party of negation and obstruction,
the party that never originates an idea
or proposes a constructive policy has
surpassed its own record for blundering
and incompetency by its performances
for the last three months. The Demo
Gratis, with $50 majority in the House,
have not passed single important
measure They have framed two lead
ing bills, one of which strikes at the life
of the great American wooden industry,
and the other OF which would reduce the
value of the workingman's dollar 30
per cent. These stupidity destructive
measures fairly represent the purposes
of the Democracy; and even these they
have not yet been able to pass.
Republicans are right in believing
they can make 1892 a year of victory.
The nation has had opportunity to see
the free traders and the ''cbeap" money
frantics in control of one branch of
Congress, and the exhibition is enough
to insure another four years of Repub-
licah rule.

A FoUR-YEAR-oLD MARVEL.

Pittsburgh Dispatch.
There is in Marshall, ILL.,, one of the
most wonderful musical prodigies in
the United States, and, possibly, in the
world. 1t is little Marie Barlow, daugh-
ter of Gus and Fannie Barlow, of Dan
vile. Though but years of age, little
Marie plays the piano with perfect cor
rectness, can carry the tune of most any
thing she hears, from Home, Sweet
Home" to Beethoven's and Schubert's
compositions. She began at two years
of age, using one hand only, and at
three years and six months she began
with both hands. She has pure legato
touch in lingering, and can play the
major and minor scale in any key cor.
rectly. She will play an air and then
play in the minor to the same tune. She
also blinds her eyes, and when any chord
is struck can go at once to the instru-
ment and place her fingers on the keys
sounded. Besides being so wonderful
an instrnmentalist, Marie recites well
and sings delightfully."-. She is modest
and unaffected as any one could wish,
with all her talent, and is certainly des-
tined to create a furore in the musical
world.

WHEN LONDON WAs NOISY.


In the Time of George ii There was
Uproar Everywhere.
We who now object to the noise of a
barrel organ in the street. or cry of
milk, or a distant German band, would
be driven mad by a single day of George
Ts London streets. Hogarth has
touched the subject, but only touched
it. No one could do more in a picture
than indicate the mere fringe of this
vast subject. Even on the printed page
we can do little more than the painter.
For instance. the following were some
of the more common and every day and
all day long noises: Some of the shop
keepers still kept up the custom of hav-
ing a prentice outside bawling an invi-
tation to buy! buy! buy.
To this day butchers in Clare market
cry out at their stalls all day long:
Rally up, ladies! Rally up! Buy,
buy! buy!' In the streets of private
houses there passed never ending pro-
cession of those who bawled things for
sale. Here are few of the things they
bawled; am conscious that it is a very
imperfect list. There were those who
offered to do things-mend chairs. grind
knives, solder pots and pans, buy rags
or kitchen stuff, rabbit skins, hair or
rusty swords. exchange old clothes and
wigs, mend old china, cut wires-this
excruciating, rasping operation was ap-
parently done in the opener cooper
casks.
There was next the multitude of those
who carried wares to sell-as things to
eat and drink -saloop, barley broth, rice
and milk furmety, Shrewsbury cakes,
eggs, butter, lily white vinegar, hot peas
Gods, rabbits, birds, pullets, ginger
bread, oysters, honey, cherry ripe, Cha
ney oranges, hot codlins, pippins, fruit
of al kinds, fish, taffety tarts, fresh
-vater. tripe, tansy, greens, mustard,
alt, gray pease, water crosses, shrimps,
rosemary, lavender, milk, elder buds; or
things of domestic use-lace, ribbons,
alInanacs, ink. small coal, sealing wax,
wood to cleave, earthenware, spigots,
combs. buckles, lanterns, pewter pots,
brooms in exchange for Jiu shoes, things
of horns, Holland socks, woolen socks
and wrappers, birthstone matches, flint
and steel, shoe laces, scissors and tools,
straps and the thousand and one things
which are now sold in shops.
The bear-ward came along, with his
animal and his dogs and his drum, the
sweep shouted from the housetop, the
ballad singer bawled in the road, the
tumbler and the dancing girl set up
their pitch with fife and drum. Nobody
minded how much noise was made. In
the smaller streets the good wives sat
with open doors, running in and out,
gossiping over their work; they liked the
noise; they liked this perambulating
market-it made the street lively, it
brought the neighbors out to talk and
it pleased the baby. Then the wagons
went ponderously grinding over the
round stones of the road, the carts rum
bled, the brewers sledges growled, the
chariot ratified, the drivers quarreled,
cursed and fought.

tinual murmur of London IS of Niagara

have spoken of the continual roar

New York Tribune.
The Reciprocity policy has received
lrst..and last the highest sanction of
public opinion at home and abroad
The Republican majority in the last
Congress adopted it upon the recon-
mendation of an international congress
representing every independent State on
the Continent. Producers and merchants
throughout the Union have welcomed
it as a businesslike method of opening
foreign markets and increasing the
volume of export trade. The United
States Supreme Court has critically ex-
amined the text of the Reciprocity
amendment and affirmed its constitu-
tionality. The new commercial policy
has been subjected to practical tests in
the conventions with Brazil and the
Spanish West Indies, and the trade
statistics have demonstrated at once its
utility and efficiency in enlarging the
foreign demand for American produces
and manufactures. Reciprocity is pop
ular with all business classes in the
United States. Democratic leaders in
Congress are not lacking in recklessness,
but they are warned by public opinion
that any attempt on their part to obstruct
or reverse the Reciprocity policy will be
angrily resented by the country.

The evidences of this are unmistakable.

BINDING TWINE.

New York Press.
A prominent feature of the Demo
cratic attack on sections of the Mckinley
tariff is the proposed repeal of the duty
on binding twine. The price of binding
twine has decreased under protection,
but even if the duty were added to the
cost the difference to the farmer would
only amount to one cent on an acre of
grain. In India binLing twine is made
by natives who live on rice and are paid
IS per month. If the Democrats had
the power they would take the $2,0O0,-
900 of wages which binding twine dis
tributes yearly in the United States and
hand it over to the employers of cheap
