Eiectrifyinr see,l..

DR.. Leicester, of Bristol, England,
has been studying the growth Of
seeds in earth artifcially electrified.
A box three feet long by nearly three
wide was filled with choice soil. At
one end zinc plate and at the other
end copper one were placed, and
were united outside by q copper
wire. They were about one foot
square. BY the chemical action on
the zinc plate, current passed
through the earth toward the copper
plate, and returning by the copper
wire made q circuit The box was
thus q very simple cell or battery.
Seeds were sown in the soil be-
tween the plates, and their growth
was much more rapid than that of
similar seeds planted in a similar
box, but one without the metal
plates.
Similar experiments made with
glass tanks filed with soil show SIM
liar results. Hempseed, sown In an
electrified glass tank, was fully an
inch high before any sprouts could
be seen in unelectrifed earth. It
was found, too, that If the doctor
watered the soil with a little very
dilute acetic acid the growth was
much quicker in the electrified soil.

sonal objections TO young Rudolph
Gigsby, who WIS courting his dnngh-
ter Clara but he did wish that Mr..
Gigsby would 20 home q little ear
her. Winding the clock, that time
honored hint to lovers, had no eject
upon him, but Mr.. Staybolt thought
that . sudden great uproar In the
house might prove sufficiently dis
turbing 10 make him think that 4
was about time to 60. His plan was
to ron the washboiler down the
back stairs. Mrs. Staybolt did not
enter very heartily into that plot,
but she let him have the boiler.
he carried it up stairs early in the
evening, and at IL o'clock he started
it It made Us much noise as though
it had been q railroad through the
house. Mr.. Staybolt expected In the
intense stiffness that followed to
hear Mr.. Gigsby step out into the
hall for his hat and overcoat, but in
stead Of that he heard him say to
Clara. 'sGoodnessl How careless it
was to leave that boiler where it
would fall ike that. It's almost
sure to get den.ed."
Then Mr.. Staybolt gave it up, and
he never knew until after the young
people We're married that Mrs. Stay
bolt had told Clara about the boiler
hours before he started it rolling. -

THE THIRD PARTY.

1t is folly to discuss and dismiss
the grievances claimed and rene
dies proposed without making a
careful inspection of them. u
We may be trying to stop vols
cano with glut, that will split the
mountain, open the smouldering
fires, send and bring rum. Evidence
so we'll established, charging favor
itism of classes in governmental
law should call for punishment and
reform from Democrats, who have
the care of the sacred truth: equal
rights for all, special privileges for
nOne."
Shall we lay down the time-hon-
ored ensign Of equality in the
struggle for equalitys Or say hat
the work of veterans has been ser.
vice wasted? No! and shame on
the slanderers
Have we been ruled by wolves in
sleeps clothing 2 that is to say: An
aristocracy pretending to be demo-
Gratis? The solution is, the party
is ours. aud if we do our duty, We
will have democrats only, from this
point on.
1t is more noble to drive the ras-
calls out of orr preferred service
than to let them give us such run.
The party belongs to us, the right
to rule to the majority; let all abide
by such decislons-we are on that
side most of the time in Mississippi.
Mistakes are sometimes unavoid
able in this climate. II person
expects perfection, let him seek it
where it is, but don't, don't fall
down and worship this third party
temptation.
However, for the sake ofreason.
ing within the proposition. let US
imagine the peoples party to be in
operation with local pluralitles, then
in the heat of party strife a pollti>
clan of the democratic faith would
let republican 'get there" rather
than you whom he would call ''boltel,"
hoping to whip you back into line.
And the third party politician would
argue: "Now, you see you must
come to us if you would whip the
niger
Personal bitterness and local
successes would hold the breach
open.
What would please your enemies,
the high-pressure republicans, more
than such folly

The people at the Worlds Dispensary

The people at the Worlds Dispensary
of Buffalo, N. Y, have stock taking
time once year and what do you think
they do? Count the number of bottles
that's been returned by the men and
women who say that DR. Pierce's golden
medical discovery or DIR Pierce's favorite
prescription didn't do what they said it
would do.
And how many do you think they
have to count. One in ten? Not one in
five hundred!
Here are two remedies-one the "gol-
den medical discovery" for regulating
and invigorating the liver and purify,
ing the blood; the other, the hope of
weakly womanhood; they've been sold
for years, sold by the million bottles;
sold under a positive guarantee, and not
one in rive hundred can say: 1T was
not the medicine for me! and-is
there any reason why you should be the
one? And-supposing you are, what
do you lose? Absolutely nothing

STORM WINDS.

The gale is sweeping and signing
Through deeps whore the wood is bare.
And brown dead MOSES are lying
Where the springtime flowers were fair;
And the desolate meadows and weary,
Whence the sunlight long has fed,
Are loud with the dirges dreary
That mourn for the grasses dead.
And there by the sad sea beaches
The white waves fretfully surge,
And up from the wrecked filled reaches
They force the sand and the spurge;
And wide through the sound-flled cleaning
Flies the salt and bitter spray,
AS the wild storm wind goes roaming
Through the snow mist wan and gray
The ships bend down to the rushing
or gusts that are keen and cold,
The foam-capped rollers are gushing
Through the chain plates downward rolledi
The bell-buoys clamor and jangle
AS the short waves fret and toss;
And garrulous seagulls Wrangle
AS they wing the bar across.
Far north, like q somber curtain,
The billowing cloud wrack's mass,
And shadows vague and uncertain,
Before them fitfully pass
The shadows OF forests, heaving
In throes Of the mighty blast,
Whose grotesque branches are weaving
Tho giants that change so fast
And so through the hours that lengthen,
Tho wind in its might grows loud,
And its hoarse notes roll and strengthen
AS down from the hills they crowd;
And on, while the night grows deeper,
They rise, till their echoes seem
The turmoil weary sleeper
Hears in a chaotic dream.
When the winds from slumber wake
Tho ocean obeys their might,
This forest are rent and shaken
Their is no silence in night;
Ind nUAF fnair f1aca
Shows like the swath OF q sword,
Yet one hand holds them in keeping
The strong, sure hand OF the Lord
