When the democaatic party came
in power in 1873 it found a State
bonded Indebtedness of 20,S53, 900
bearing interest of 6 and Z per cent
per anuum. During the past twenty
years the debt has been REDUCED to
s6, $50. 900. bearing interest at three
and one-half per cent. The rate of
tsxsction was 80 c,nts on 500. 1t
has been reduced to % cents. A De-
mocra,ic constitution has stopped the
pernicious extravaganza of issuing
bonds for corp )rations which Can
maintain themselves. The Democra-
tic administration of the affairs of this
State has been conducted upon such
an economic Al and business like plan
that state aud county expenditures
hsve been reduced to a nominal sum.
Missouri can not afford the luxury
of Republican administration whose
record in this state has been q record
of extravaganza and plumber.

A FOWLS G zzARD.
physiology of an Inter esting Portion of
Chickens A natomv

A fowls gizzard, where SO many lost
articles turn up, is curious trap as well
as a necessary vital or gan of the fowl.
Diamonds, pearls, coin buttons, tacks.
orange peel and about everything else
save dynamite have been found in the
gizzards of fowls.
A study of this organ is interesting.
Experiments have demonstrated that what
may be called the gas .ric juice in fowls
has not sufficient power to dissolve their
food without the aid of the grinding &C
ton of the gizzard. Before the food is
prepared for digestion, therefore, the
grains must be subject ed to a triturating
process, and such as are not sufficiently
bruised in this manner before passing into
the gizzard are there reduced to the proper
state by its natural action.
The action of the gizzard is, in this re-
spect, mechanical, this organ serving as
mill to grind the feed 20 pieces, and then.
by means of its powerful muscles, pressing
it gradually into the intestines in the
form of pulp. The power of this organ is
said to be sufficient to pulverize hollow
globules of glass in very short time and
solid masses of the same substance in
few weeks. The rapidity of this process
seems to be proportion ate generally to the
size of the bird. \ chicken, for example,
breaks up such substances as are received
into its stomach less rapidly than the ca
pom, while the goose performs the same
operation sooner than either. Needles,
and even lancets, given turkeys have been
broken in pieces and roided without any
apparent injury to the stomach. The rea-
son undoubtedly is that the larger species
Of birds have thicker and more powerful
organs of digestion.
1t has long been the general opinion that,
from some deficiency in the digestive ap-
paratus, fowls are obi ged to resort to the
use of stones and gravel in order to enable
them TO dispose of the food which they
consume. Some have supposed that the
use of stones is to she;lthe the gizZard in
order to fit it to break into smaller frag-
ments the hard, angular substances which
might be swallowed. They have also been
considered to have medicinal effect
Others have imagined that they acted as
absorbents for undue quantities of acids in
the stomach or as stimulants to digestion.
while 1t has even been gravely asserted
that they contribute directly to nutrition.
Repeated experiments, however, have es-
tablished that pebbles are not at all neces-
sary to the trituratiou of the hardest kinds
of substances which can be introduced into
their stomachs, and Of course the usual
food of fowls can be bruised without their
aid. They do, however, serve useful
auxiliary purpose. When put in motion
by the muscles they are capable of produ-
eng some effects upon the contents of the
stomach, thus assisting to grind down the
grain and separating its parts so that the
digestive fluid or gastric juice comes more
readily IN contact with it.-Hartford
Times.

Travelling with a Wheelbarrow

Potter, the wheelJarrow crank" trav-
eled across the continent in 1873. His full
name was Lyman and his place of resi-,
dence Albany. He was a shoemaker by
trade and much given to boasting of his
feats as pedestrian. O'Leary was doing
his big walking about that time and had
just finished a ten days walk at New
York city. One day in the presence of
many witnesses Potter said that he him
self could Guido O'Leary in feats of endur-
ance. Some one suggested that he walk
to San Francisco OF trial Potter did not
hesitate moment, but offered to wager
that he could make the trip in a given
length of time and, Furthermore, that he
could wheel paddy" barrow the entire
distance.
The money was covered, and Potter left
his home on Dove street, Albany, on the
morning of April o. 1878, and arrived at
San Francisco on the evening of Oct. 6,
being exactly $50 days in making the trip.
The wheelbarrow and load (his clothing
and cooking utensilsl weighed seventy-five
pounds. The distance Travelled was 4.Os5
miles.-Philadelphi Press.
