Lepers Proof A -ainst Electricity.


Down at Honolulu" said Harry Dia-
mond, Il had a battery and worked the
innocent Kanakas with the old trick of the
five dollar gold piece. That is, I'd place
the piece in the bot ON of a jar of water
connected with the battery. Then I'd tell
the native boys that they could have the
money if they'd pick it out of the jar and
hold the handle on the other pole of the
battery at the same time. OF course the
moment their hands struck the water the
circuit was completed, their fingers would
be doubled up and they couldn't touch the
money if their fortunes had depended on
getting it. l had many laugh and
achieved quite a reputation among the
boys as wizard who controlled the devils
in the water.
Zone day when several young ladies
were in the Office Ind came in, pushed on
by a number of companions who had at
tempted to secure the five dollars and
failed. He had beer persuaded to try for
the money, and | explained the trick to the
ladies i'll an aside rs / arranged the ap-
paratus. The boy took the handle, and we
all prepared for a great laugh.

was, of course, more easily written upor

State banquets became very elaborate
and expensive in the earlier half of the
Sixteenth century, which was the period

common man to have dainty dishes oil
costly drinks at his table. He did not

DON'T HEAR EVERYTHING.

The art of not hearing should be
learned by ALL There are so many
things which it is painful to hear, very
many of which, if heard, will disturb
the temper, corrupt simplicity and mod
esty, deUract from cOntentment and
happiness. If man falls into violent
passion, and calls us all manner of
names, at the first word we should shut
our ears, and hear no more. If i'll a
quiet voyage of life we find ourselves
caught in one of those domestic whirl-
winds of scolding, we should shut our
ear as a sailor would furl his sail, and,
making all tight, scud before the gale.
If hot, restless man begins to lntlame
our feeling, we should consider what
mischief the fiery sparks may do in our
magazine below, where our temper is
kept, and instantly close the door. If
ali the petty things said of one by heed
less or ill.natured idlers were brought
home to him, he would become a mere
walking pin cushion stuck full of sharp
remarks. If we would be happy when
among good men, we should open our
ears; when among bad men, shut them,
1t is not worth while to hear what our
neighbors say about our children, what
our rivals say about our business, our
dress, or our affairs.-Presbyterian.

smart sprinkling of people who live in

committing Congress to rigid economy
IN appropriations, and which was de
manded as a National autidOte for the
reckless folly of the Republican Billion
Dollar Congress, seems TO have come
none TO soon.
The Billion Dollar Congress enacted
such legislation as seriously decreased
the receipts of the government, while
making heavy increase Of expendi-
lures. They are now confronted with
the HerCulean task Of diminishing the
burdens or the people aud at the same
time make provision to meet the obli-
cations of the government.
TO this end the Ways and Means
Committee summoned the Secretary of
the treasurer to present an exhibit of
tne National finances. Secretary FOs-
ter pleading Illness he was represented
by Assistant Secretary Spalding who
made a statement showing the enor.
nous decrease in government receipts
since the Mckinley bill went into effect.
10 the slx months and twenty days of
the present fiscal year there has been q
decrease in customs receipts from the
corresponding period of two years ago
OF $50 $4,000. There has been an in
crease of receipts from internal revenue
of 50, 10000. Taking the returns al.
ready made and estimating the receipts
for the remainder of the present fiscal
year the treasury official places the
total falling off for the year from the
receipts of Two years ago at Sal ,O79,OOO
Mr. Spalding estimated the probable
receipts of the present fiscal year az
1852 10000 and expenditures as $685.
OOOOOO, leaving surplus of $24,OOOOOO:
but upon examination the committee
learned that IN this estimate no allow
ance had been m'ds for the sinking
fund requirements aUl TO get any sur.
plus at all there had been an extension
of the S20,OO0,OO0 already due. Mr..
Spalding further stated that in the cash
estimate the S100,OOOOOO gold reserve
had also been counted but when ques.
TONED as to whether this money could
be used in case of a shortage he de-
clined an answer
Everything goes to show that the
Republican Billion Dollar Congress
was the most reckless in history and
the Mckinley policy the most burden
some and ruinous of any ever foisted
upon free people.

THE SILVER oUErTToN,

An important contribution is
made in The Forum to the current dis
cussion of the Silver question by Mr..
Jabob II. Schiff, who is one of the most
conservative aud influential bankers in
New York and member OF the cham
ber of commerce
The New y ork chamber of commerce
recently passed resolutions asking for
the repeal of the silver law of 1890,
whereby four millions and half ounces
of silver are required to be purchased
by the Government every month. Mr..
Schiff does not favor the free coinage
of silver and he would not de novo favor
the compulsory coinage of silver under
this law; but he makes the argument
to show that now that this law Is in eff
feet it would be dangerous to repeal it
aud thus suddenly to withdraw so
large an amount OF money from cir
culatiOn,

WHILE Akron is only "a miles north
of Canton, it appears to be very much
colder there than the difference in lati-
tude would indicate. For instance, on
Wednesday morning, when the ther-
mOmeter was only degrees below zero
Ill Canton it dropped down to an aver
age temperature of II degrees below
zero at Akron, while two self-register-
ing thermometers in the city registered
Il degrees below. A Canton physician
on West Tuscarawas street, who is up

produced radical modifying effect

Efnm the Toledo Bee.

From the Toledo Bee.
Hon. Clement Carpenter, who was
secretary of legatian at Santiago during
the Hayes administration, gave a Bee
the benefit OF his observations during
his stay in that country AS Mr.. Car
penter is able to converse in Spanish
and 10 read their newspapers, he gath
ders more information than he could
have done otherwise. He says had not
our short sighted trade policy shut us
Off so completely from intercourse with
our southern neighbors, Chile would
know something about this country.
AS it is, she is lamentably ignorant.
The average Chilians idea of our
republic is about as lucid as the
school boys understanding of
China. The cartoons in their re-
cent newspapers represent Uncle Sam,
lank and SHABBY, standing amidst a
few OLD rotten ships and menacing
great and warlike Chile. That's the
editorial understanding of the situa-
tion. The English are everywhere In
the South American countries through
trade acquaintancesbip resultant from
her free aud open traue policy. Ipey
believe we care only for the boarding
of dollars and are too m9Tcenary To
expend any of them IN vindlcatiOn OF
national honor, and that 1T will be an
easy matter TO yanqulsh the United
States. He thinks the bumbtious little
republic needs shaking up at our
hands, not only for present day inso-
ieuce but for insulting indifference to
our just claims in the past.
