A calamity howler'' is the product of

A calamity howler'' is the product of
selfishness run to seed. AS Luther
used to say, ''every man hasa pope in
his BELLY SO it may be said every man
is natural born monopolist. From the
boot black the peanut vender, the
country peddler, who carries his stock
in trade in a grip sack to the manu-
facturer or warehouseman who turns
over scores of millions of dollars an
nually, all are monopolists, all are
possessed of an innate wish to control
the entire trade Or business of their own
district. Brooding over the riches that
Others have picked up on the journey of
life, the calamity bowler" has come to
think that the fruit of energy and
economy is crime when the other fell
low reaps it. To hear him talk one
would think the greatest of all crimes
was to get rich, and yet the last one of
themselves is busily engaged in looking
for a soft snap at other peoples expense
and acting precisely on the principle
they so loudly condemn in others.
Human nature is the same in General
Weaver or Adventurer Rorke, who howl
for the coin there is in it-as it is in
Claus Spreckles or Jay Gould.

Area of the canadian Dominion.

In the last issue of the .Statisti-
cal Year Book of Canada, COM
piled by Mr.. Sydney G. D. Roper
of the statistics branch of the de-
partment of agriculture, we find that
the total area of the dominion is COM
puted to be 3,456, 1888 square miles. In
this estimate 140,736 square miles are
assigned to water and 3,315, ,647 to land
surface. The table which yields this
total is said to be an entirely new one,
having been specially prepared at the
request of the compiler of the Year
Book by the Typographical Survey
branch of the department of the in
terror.
''The measures have ALL we are told,
''been made anew and checked, and
may be depended on, in so far as war
ranted by the present geographical
knowledge of the country. No change
will be made in these figures unless
based upon new information" AS this
is a question on which there has been a
good deal of discussion and much differ
ence of opinion, it is satisfactory to
receive this assurance from what we
may regard as the highest official and
professional authority Ga
zette.

srhe Progress of volnnnh.

1t is very interesting fact that the
world language, Volapu1, is not only
coming to be spoken conyersationally by
its enthusiastic votaries, but is to be
made a medium of interlingual co1nmu-
nication at the Worlds Columbian fair
A complete record of progress made in
spreading Volapuk since that delightful
national convention of its votaries was
held in Boston. considerably more than
a year ago, would astonish all but the
few who keep closest watch ON the move
ment A significant circumstance is
that recently the Young Peoples Society
of Christian Endeavor of the Peoples
church. Boston, formally adopted Vola-
puk as a study for that organization,
and a class of forty members Expected
to double shortly was formed, to meet
each Monday evening in the church's
reading room for instruction.
Other noteworthy instances are as fol
lows: The people of Newton, quite at
their own request, are to have lecture
on Volapuk under the auspices of a
ladies' association there. Salem and
Gloucester are to have lectures in Janu-
ary, and the interest all over the coun-
try is similarly manifested Newspaper
lessons, published simultaneously all
over the maritime provinces, Canada
and the United States, have been given
weekly since Oct. 10. Ths students
write out the exercises of the lessons and
send them to convenient points, as desig-
mated, for annexation, and immense
numbers of young and old of both sexes
are following the lessons. Boston Ad-

In the light of the present attitude of
the democratic party on the tariff ques-
Gion it is interesting to remember that
1883 Ohio democrats circulated pamph-
let arraigning the republican party in
the following language
"The republican president, tariff COM
missioner and congress, at the bidding
of the inonopolists of New England, wan
tonly and wickedly reduced the duty on
wool so as to enable foreign producers
ito compete adTantageously with native
growers. The average reduction of the
duty, you will remember was Is per
cent. With the reduction of 1S per cent,
the abandonment to great extent of
sheep raising must inevitably follow, if
. the pernicious course assigned by the
republican party is allowed to be carried
out. ~ The democratic party, as
the facts show, have been steadily and
, earnestly opposed to the perpetration of
this great wrong against the people"
And in 1856 the platform of demo-
Gratis of this state of Oregon said:
1--WE condemn the action of the repub-
hcan congress in reducing the tariff on
wool"
If it was 'wanton" and wicked" and
a great wrong upon the people" to re-
duce the tariff on wool 18 per cent in
1888, what shall we call the placing of
wool on the free list in 1892

Democratic papers that have helped
to swell the howl of the calamity Shrek
ers ought not to be surprised if their
labor should produce fruit corresponding
with the character of the seed sown.
After men have been taught to be dis
satisfied with everything, it is not
strange that they should refuse to be
satisfied with any candidates for office
whom they, themselves, have not nomi-
mated. Veatch is in every way better
man than Rorke, and is largely in ac-
cord with the peoples party, but that
party won't support him. 1t prefers a
mere adventurer who is in politics for
the living he gets out OF it. Hermann

The BOYS Did the lob.

An East Dover (Me.) farmer had a
mare something. over 90 years old, and
not thinking it advisable to winter
her, spoke to some boys to take her out,
shoot her and bury her for money con-
sideration. Boys No. and did the
job all right, but No. 8, not knowing the
mare had been killed, went the follow
ing day to the farmers barn, and find
ing an animal in the stable, took him
out and led him down to a piece of

the farmers surprise on coming home to
find that boy No. had shot and buried
a nice 5-year-old, worth IN the neighbor-
hood of $200.-Boston Transcript.

The Glacial Balance.

The glacial balance is sensitive. A
very slight continuous preponder
ance of supply over wasting might,
in few years, betray itself by really
formidable and altogether irresistible
effects. Without one additional de
gree of cold, it is conceivable that a
persistently augmented deposit of
snow upon the Gerstenhorner and
the Schneestock, although otherwise
scarcely perceptible, might enable
the Rhone glacier to overwhelm
Brieg. But this would be an exceed
ingly small step toward the restora-
ton of a former state of things,
when an ice stream close upon $50
miles in length, starting from the
same source, crossed the frozen or
nonexistent Lake of Geneva, and de-
bouched by Culoz upon Lyons.
Without severe cold, as well as
heavy precipitation, ice could not
possibly have gained SO great an as
tendency. And this was no local
phenomenon; it was simultaneously
prevalent over widely separated
tracts of the earths surface. -Edin-

ENTERING IN.

The church was dim and silent
With the hush before the prayer,
Only the solemn trembling
OF the organ stirred the air.
Without, the sweet pale sunshine:
Within, the holy calm,
Where priest and people waited
For the swelling of the psalm.
Slowly the door swung open.
And little baby girl,
Brown eyed, with brown hair falling
In many a wavy curl,
With soft cheeks flushing hotly,
Sly chances downward thrown,
And small hands clasped before her.
Stood in the aisle alone.
Stood half abashed, half frightened.
Unknowing where to 20.
While like wind rocked flower
Her form swayed to and fro;
And the changing color iuttered
In the little troubled face.
AS from side to side she wavered
With a mute, imploring grace.
1t was but for moment;
What wonder that we smiled,
By such a strange, sweet picture
From holy thoughts beguiled?
Up, then, rose some one softly,
And many an eye grew dim.
AS through the tender silence
He bore the child with him.
And long | wondered, losing
The sermon and the prayer,
If when sometime / enter
The many mansions fair,
And stand abashed and dropping
In the portals golden glow,
Our Lord viii send an angel
To show me where 10 go?

A Mule That Didn't Like a Pine.

A great many animals enjoy to-
bacco smoke, for beasts are much
like men and differ essentially in
Their tastes just as men do. But
dogs and cats are not among the
number of those that relish tobacco,
for either will generally take a vio-
lent fit of coughing or sneezing when
smoke is blown in their faces, and
sometimes they seem to become very
sick at the smell Many horses,
however, appear to enjoy the odor
of a good cigar as much as men do,
and some mules are passionately
fond of tobacco. It is not safe, how
ever, to experiment with a mules
taste. A friend of mine blew a cloud
of smoke from his pipe into the nos
trils of mule, and the insulted beast
changed ends as quick as thought
and would have Drained him on the
spot had he not saved himself by
falling PROSTATE The next time he
tries tobacco smoke on a mule he
will tie the beast.-St. Louis Globe

The Sling Among the IsraeIites.

The inhabitants of Palestine made
use in very ancient times of the
sling, the most skillful in its use
being the tribe of Benjamin, whose
boast it was never to miss their aim.
What makes their skill appear more
surprising was that they managed
the sling with the left hand The
men who came to David's help at
Zlklag were no less adroit. They
used at will either the right hand or
the left The sling was also the ia
vorite weapon of shepherds, who
with it drove away wild beasts prey
ing on their fOcks. This makes
David's victory over the giant Goliath
less surprising, as he had no doubt
great practice in the use Of this in
strument while guarding his fathers
