The Republican candidate for gov
ernor OF Minnesota, Knute Nelson, who
voted for the Mills bill when in congress,
contributed this gem to the literature OF
the campaign: ''The price of labor is
primarily governed by the law of supply
and demand. The protected producer
does not measure the sum he pays by the
amount of protection he gets, but by the
ease or difficulty with which he can pro-
cure labor, or by the fact whether labor
is scarce or plenty"

Grave Mistake.

Physicians frequently make mistakes in treat
ment OF heart disease. The rate of sudden
deaths is daily increasing. Hundreds become
victims of the ignorance of physicians in the
treatment of this disease. One in four persons
has a diseased heart. Sh0rtness of breath, pal
pitation and futtering, irregular pulse, chok-
ing sensation, asthmatic breathing, pain or
tenderness in side, shoulder or arm, weak or
hungry spells, are symptoms of heart disease.

WIre-Glass.

Under the name OF wire-glass, a
new invention has been brought on
the market by Dresden firm, which
marks an important development in
the glass making industry. The pro
cess of manufacture consists Of furn-
ishing glass in hot plastic condition
with flexible metallic layer, iron
wire netting, for instance, which is
completely enclosed by the Vitreo US
substance and effectively protected
against exterior influences, as rust,
etc The new glass which has been
patented in the leading countries,
possesses much greater resisting power
than the ordinary metal, and is, it is
claimed, Indifferent to the most
abrupt changes Of temperature, and
will even withstand open fire. A
further proof Of its toughness and
durability is stated to be the fact that
1T may, in highly heated state, be
sprinkled with cold water without
being materially damaged. The glass
is specially adapted for skylights, the
powerful resisting qualities of the
material enabling the usual wire pro-
tectors to be dispensed with. AS
Wire-glass cannot be cut by the dia-
mond, except under the application
of great force, and cannot be broken
without creating considerable noise,
the substance is claimed to be, in a
measure, burglarprOof.

AnIntoxtoated Cow.

Some time ago a Frenchman who
lives at Pasadena, Cal, was aston
ished to see one Of his best COWS lying,
apparently dying, in front of his
barn. The animal lay there inert,
with open eyes, oblivious Of every
thing. The man called veterinary
surgeon, who could not diagnose the
case, and butcher was sent for to
bleed the animal. He was some time
in arriving, and when he did come
the COW was found eating at a hay
stack, but with legs a little uncer-
tain. An investigation followed, and
it was found that the cow had eaten
copiously of the refuse of a neighbOr-
ing winery This stuff, composed Of
grape skins and stems, had fermented
and induced a state Of tntoxication.

stGrant was entirely destitute or
nerves." said Capt. S. c. Hawley, Of
Peoria, ILL.,, to the Globe-democrat
Gossiper. 81 saw a six-inch shell
explode within four feet of him at
the siege of Vicksburg, and he never
missed a puff at his cigar or looked in
the least startled. He was standing
watching the placing of gun, and
when the shell cracked dozen men
near him run their noses into the
ground. A horse was killed and the
gun dismounted but not man was
hurt, and when we looked up and
saw Grant putting away so unconcern-
eddy we felt sheepish enough I can
tell you. Gen. Custer, as brave a

Before Che gentleman could remon-
strate, the boy had placed the bundle
or papers in his arms and was off like
flash.
He was gone perhaps three min
utes, but during that time the gentle
man was rendered completely misera-
bic. a half dozen of his acquaint-
ances passed, and each one stopped to
inquire if he had gone into the news
paper business, and how it paid, while
the newsboys gathered around and
jeered him, under the impression that
he was an interloper. So he gave a
great sigh of relief when the boy re-
turned and put twenty-four cents in
his hand.

said with cheerful grin.
''No," answered the man, with a
groan; ''but if you hadn't returned in

demanded the boy, Indignantly.
But the gentleman did not stop To

English ordnance experts are inter
ested at present over new style of
bullet for shoulder rifles that has
been invented by Gen. Tweedle.
The bullet has a case which is closed
at the base and open at the head, the
case ending about half way between
the shoulder and the point. Upon
striking the head spreads out like a
mushroom and suddenly becomes a
projectile of much larger caliber than
itwas at the time it left the gun.
By this means it is thought to Sc
cure the advantages of both the small
and the large caliber weapons. Dur
It's flight it has the properties of the
small-sized bullet, little resistance to
the air. When it strikes, however,
it does not content itself with infiict-
ing mere wound, which may or may
not incapactitate the soldier struck,
but it skaters and tears, placing the
one hit hors du combat on the in
slant.
Although not primarily intended
to pierce armor of any thickness, it
has been found that the Tweedle
bullet is much more effective for this
purpose than any of the smaller cali
bers that have been tried in competi-
ton with it.

CHAPTER L


The cause of the upr@Nr proved to be
simple enough.
Emerging into the Bischofsplatz from
the side street that 1 had followed
found a great crowd gathered before the
Marmorhof, shouting Death to Conradl-
and Where is Mathilde?" with all the
force of its collective lungs. The Mar
morhof was the residence OF Prince
Conrad, brother to the reigning Grand
Duke Otto-reigning, indeed, but now
very old and i'll and like to die. The
legitimate successor to the throne would
have been OttO's granddaughter Ma
thilde, the only surviving child Of his
eldest son, Franz Victor, who had been
dead these ten years. But the Grand
Dukes brother, Conrad, was coVetous
of her rights-cOVetous and, as her
friends alleged, INSCRIPTIONS; and if
she were but out of the way Conrad
would come to reign. Rumor, indeed,
whispered that he had made three actual
attempts 10 compass her death: two by
poison and one by the dagger, each,
thanks to some miracle, unsuccessful.
But fortnight ago, upon the first out
break of fatal symptoms in poor old
Otto, Mathilde had mysteriously disap-
peared. Her whereabouts unknown, all
the world was in a great commotion.
-She has fed and is in hiding, surmised
some people, ito escape the designs OF
her wicked uncle. No" retorted others;
but he, the wicked uncle himself, has
kidnapped her, sequestered her, perhaps
made away with her. Who can tell7"

interested me; and, from the top of a

Women and Ice Cream.

ASK lady whether she will take
some ice cream, and nine times out of
ten she will answer no, and at the
same time mean yes. And another if
she will have something to eat, and
she'll reply that she isn't hungry No
lady will admit that she is hungry.
Indeed. it would be dangerous to be
in the vicinage Of hungry women.
Now it wouldn't do to call this tell
ing an untruth. 1t is better to style
it prevarication. But why should
there be any necessity for it? There
is only one way to do, and that is, in
the language of Moore, take woman's
no for yes, and act accordingly. In
this, however. one must exercise
good judgment and discretion. 1t
won't do to apply this rule to every
no.
Moore's rule, may. however. be
safely followed when a gentleman
asks a lady to have dinner or ice
cream If she says no. call the
waiter.-American Hebrew.

No part Of the body should be
clothed so warmly that perspiratton
is easily increased, since a rapid loss
of heat is caused by its evaporation.
To prevent rapid loss Of heat, under
clothing of wool should always be
worn. Wool is the best material
that can be used to prevent evapora-
ton, and at the same time allow the
air TO Ventilate the skin.
Any part of the body which is sup
posed to be especially susceptible to
cold, or delicate" is often the point
selected for an extra thickness of
clothing. All parts of the body
should be kept equally warm. To
heap clothing on any one part only
makes that part more delicate and
susceptible to cold.
The wearing of shoes with soles
heavy enough to prevent cooling Of
the feet is extremely important. The
extent to which the wearing OF thin
soled shoes prevails in the winter
months, especially among ladies, is
calculated to make us wonder at the
endurance of human life.
The body loses through the feet by
heat radiation, especially when the
ground is wet, a tremendous percent
age of the heat production unless the
feet are well protected.
The habit of muffiing the neck only
renders it more sensitive to cold, es-
pecially if as is often the case, per-
spiration is excited. Such extra
wraps should be resorted to only in
seasons Of severe cold or of high
winds.
Changes from heavy to lighter un-
derwear and the reverse are danger
GUS. 1t is better to depend on ones
outer clothing, which should be re-
moved on coming into warm room.
The marked and sudden changes Of
temperature to which our climate is
subjected during the winter months
are not to be com bated by changes OF
clothing, for this would be obviously
impossible.
The thing to be done is to keep the
body in condition to resist the
changes. This condition is best
maintained by having the skin and
all the organs active. The degree of
sensitiveness of the skin in regulating
heat loss is the largest factor here
concerned, and a sound condition of
the skin is to be expected from a
proper system of exercise and bath

surfaces-the retina Of the eye. glass.

this a picture is made in an instant; we

About Fish.

Certain fishes belonging to the
genius Arius allied to the cat-fshes
have a very peculiar habit The eggs
are carried about By the fishes in
their mouths, aud appear to be safely
lodged during the period of Matching
in the large and capacious pharynx,
or hinder part of the mouth cavity.
Another well-known instance Of a
like habit is furnished by the fishes
of the genus Chromis, from the Sea
of GaIilee. These fishes IN the same
way carry their eggs in their mouth,
and thus hatch their young. a SINH
lar or analogous practice is witnessed
in certain frogs.

A Word Painting.

The following is not an extract from
the graduating essay of a Boston
school girl, but was produced by a
Georgia country editor IN the columns
of the Earl County News: Brighter
grew the relumed orient as up behind
the slowly drifting cloud mountains
fair Selene drove her royal train, till
now the deepened border of every
peak and craig, gilded and FURNISHED
with aureate beauty, lowered out in
rosy outline against the boundless
perspective of occidental space. Up,
up moved the gorgeous procession,
while the consultations grew dim and
the stars turned pale, and, vanishing
to their dismal homes, left no blush
ing rivalry to vie with the fair, sweet
face of the beautiful night queen.
Now beaming with the full and ra-
diant gaze of conscious purity, the
chaste, wandering princess of the
skies serenely smiled down upon the
dreaming earth as through unclouded
grandeur she rolled her royal chariot
higher up the ethereal realms of
night and the moon was up"

Quimbaxan Relics.

Curious relics have been unearthed
during this century from the tombs
of the now extinct Quimbaya tribe,
in Colombia. South America. Ac-
cording to a paper published at BO-
gotta, the objects include Statuettes
and ornaments in gold. The work
manship is far superior TO that Of
similar objects found in Mexico and
Peru, and at first sight give the i'm
preston, by their elegance OF form
and proportion, that they had been
executed after the conquest and by a
people as advanced in civilization as
the Spaniards. But after a careful
examination it is observed that the
figures bear no resemblance to the
European people, either in feature or
dress No figures of horses or dogs
are found. no arms or domestic itch
sils in use by the ConQuerors appear.
and from the lack of these one is led
to believe that this beautiful artistic
work is that Of the native Indian.
The government Of Colombia has,
from time to time, secured these an
Gent relics, and has now one of the
most valuable anthropOgraphical col
lections in South America. Among
the articles unearthed last year is a
melon-shaped vase with curves so
graceful and perfect that it is worthy
of imitation. There is also braZier,
for burning aromatic herbs, in the
shape Of human head, and a speak
ing trumpet ornamented by two
beautiful carYatides supporting an
arch composed of five distinct en-
graved mouldings.

The BLACK sllk Outing Shirt.

It is only within the last few years
that the wearing Of black silk under
wear, which is said to have origin
ated with a Partisan actress, has been
affected by the fair sex. It became
such craze that many Of our manu-
facturers last year began making
black silk outing shirts for men
They were not only cool and comfort
able, but had a dressy appearance
that no flannel shirt yet devised has
been able to boast. This was the
great point in their favor and they
had vogue among men who wished
to be comfortable during the swelter-
ing days and yet not look like labor
ars. Still they had one defect, in
fact, such a fatal one that they will
not be seen in any quantity this sea-
son. One of the largest manufacture
srs of summer garments said that
they were not making up any black
shirts, either in silk or flannel, this
summer. The trouble was that per-
spiration, being an acid, turned the
black green after a little wear. in
consequence Of which even the more
expensive shirts had to be thrown
away after being worn few times.
That being the case Of course they
could not guarantee them, and they
had stopped manufacturing them I'M
til some special silk, impervious to
perspiration. had been put on the
market. Considering the demand
there was last year for these shirts it
would seem that our silk mills might
