We learn that Prof. Davenport,

as rapidly as his many friends hoped
he would. He is physically prostra-

A Sockdolager,


1t is said that Frank Kennedy is one
of those middle of the road" demo-
Gratis who would rather vote in favor
of republican supremacy than accept
the ipse dixit of the recent democratic
state convention. Frank was at Great
Bend last Friday, and accidentally we
presume) was one Of the spectators al
the senatorial convention of the peo-
pies party. He made himself quite
prominent while in the city. and drew
large crowd of republicans around
him while he expounded geffersonian
democracy, pare and simple, and the
republicans would cheer and encourage
him all the while, until finally a Ger
man in the crowd asked a friend if the
speaker did not talk very much like a
mugwump. Frank must have over
heard the remark, for he turned around
to the German with
my friend, can you tell me what a
mugwump is?"
The German eyed Frank closely, gave
his neighbor sly wink and replied:
Eyes, I know what is a moogwump;
he is republican who votes der demo-
cratic ticket"
"But suppose that democrat votes
the republican ticket, what then?"
''Oh, in dot case it vos very different;
he vas not a moogwump, he was a
ID fool!''
The laugh was turned on Frank and
he had no more to say about mug
wumps. Sterling Champion.

result of the meeting, the lack of in

Errors of Educated People.

Millions of people have defective vision
without knowing it and millions more
have very imperfect conceptions OF dis
lance and direction. They are easily
turned around" and cannot keep the
points of the compass right. Curious cases
are cited of persons whose ideas of certain
parts of London were all inverted; Of an
other who placed Paris north of London:
of thirty well informed young men about
eighteen were under the impression that,
while the sun rises in the east the stars
rise in the west, from having learned that
the sun has a proper motion among the
stars" and it is thought probable that
there are but few educated men who have
not grown up with some curious errors
with reference to geographical facts which
have hopelessly bothered them all their
lives, though such errors as these are due
to defective teaching rather than defective
natural powers.

The Origin OF Matchma kinR.

1t is not generally known that it is to Mr.
Isaac Holden, member of parliament, that
we owe the invention of the lucifer match.
This discovery was, he himself has told us,
the result of a happy thought. I'm the
morning 1 used to get up at O'Clock in
order to pursue my studies, and 1 used at
that time the flint and steel, the use of
which found very great Inconvenience
OF course 1 knew, other chemists did,
the explosive material that was necessary
in order to produce instantaneous light;
but it was very difficult to obtain light
on wood by that explosive material, and
the idea occurred to me to put sulphur
under the explosive mixture. 1 did that
and showed it in my next lecture on chem
istry, course of which was delivering at
a large academy.
There was,'' added Mr.. Holden, "a
young man in the room whose father was
a chemist in London, and he Immediately
wrote to his father about it, and shortly
afterward lucifer matches were issued to
the world. I believe that was the first
occasion that we had the present lucifer
match. l was urged to go and take out a
patent Immediately, but l thought it was
so small matter and it cost me so little
labor that l did not think it proper to go
and get a patent. otherwise / have no
doubt it would have been very profitable"

1t is an old game OF the republican or
gans to pretend that the democratic par
ty is for free trade. They think that
they can thus scare some people into vot-
ing for candidates whom they do not
otherwise want to support.
But the republican party discovered in
1890 that the game did not work any
longer. The people have found out the
trick, and they elected q democratic
house of representatives. by An snti>re-
publican majority Of / 1882 202.
The republican party, il it remains in
power. proposes to keep up the prices of
food. clothes and building materials by
maintaining the high protective tariff. 1t
also proposes to continue to reduce reve
nue. by keeping up prohibitory duties. 1t
intends to meet the deficiency for which
it is responsible by the creation of b new
national debt.
The democratic party has quite an
other policy. 1t proposes to reduce
tariff taxes and thereby to increase reve :
nues for the purpose OF meeting the
enormous charges with which the bill
lion dollar congress has burdened the
country.
This, in brief. is what republicans and
their secret allies call free trade" but
the people are no longer scared by this
familiar and badly battered campaign

Walls in European Cities.

With very few exceptions the old cities
of Belgium and Holland have 1eveled the
walls which have played such grand parts
in the national histories, and they are con-
verted into promenades, after the manner
of our Chester and York. The walls of
Antwerp and Malines have been replaced
by boulevards. The old bastions of Am
sterdam still remain, but the citizens of
Arnheim and Utrecht and Hoorn and
Zwolle and HARLEM and Leyden disport
themselves on fine evenings upon the line
of Notifications famous in the most stir
ring pages of what is perhaps the most
stirring of European histories.
When the traveller reaches conservative
Spain he finds none of this modernization.
Still around Avila run the granite walls
built 500 years ago, with their eighty-six
towers and gates. The walls of Cadiz are
three miles in extent. Active, progressive
Barcelona has swept away her rampar.s,
but Segovia retains hers, with them ninety
towers; Merida has hers, with their eighty
four gates; the splendid granite walls of
Burgos yet remain: so do those of Cordova
and Leon and Toledo and Salamanca

Tanning the Trombone.

It has hitherto been impossible to mute"
the trombone-as the neighbors of such as
still aspire to proficiency upon it know by
bitter experience Comets, horns and
trumpets have all been muted, either by
the intrusion of wooden plug into the
bell or, in the case of the coach horn, by
partly closing the bell with one of the
hands of the player In the trombone the
bell Is not only too far away to be muted
in this manner but the whole structure of
the instrument makes such an operation
impracticable. The problem has however,
been solved by an invention known as the
echo attachment"
A piston placed just under the hand
used in holding the trombone can be de-
pressed by touch of the middle finger,
and is returned by spring the moment
pressure is removed. The effect Of lower
ing the piston is to switch off the air cur
rent into a long and tortuous tube the
same length as the main body Of the from
bone. This terminates not in a bell but
in a curious, irregular cone, so that the
sound is not 'blared FORTH" but only
gently footed" The echo attachment is
SO arranged that the whole of it is hidden
by the bell of the trombone when the
player faces the audience.
BY its aid seemingly distant music can
be produced in the front of the orchestra
without the device of hiding the trombone
behind the scenery or in an angels gallery;
but, best of all, the trombone players pu-
pill can spend the evenings in fighting with
his octaves and arpeggios without any risk
to the eternal wellbeing of his neighbors.
