One of the most curious Of the
many natural har0meters consists of
a half pint glass half full of water, a
piece of muslin end leech. The
leech must be put III the water and
the muslin tied over the top of the
glass so that the creature cannot get
out again. When fine weather is to
be the order of the day the leech
will remain at the bottom Of the
water, coiled up in spiral shape, and
perfectly motionleSs. If rain is to
be expected it will creep to the top
OF the glass, and remain there until
there is a likelihood of more settled
weather. If there is to &c a storm
of wind the little animal will comfort
itself violently and squirm about.
For some days before thunder it will
keep cut of the water almost all the
time, and will occasionally move its
body in convnlsive fashion. For
frosty weather it behaves in the
same manner as for fine, and it tore
tells snow in the same manner as it
does rain,

Persons quite young or vely old
rarely commit suicide. Those who
decide that life is not worth the liv-
ing are generally in that stage OF
existence known as the prime of
life." Women from eighteen to
twenty-five and men FROM twenty
one to forty years of age are the
most likely to come to the conclu-
sion that they have nothing to live
tor and to hasten their departure
from world that affords them more
sorrow than JOY, more misery than
happiness. Poverty and suffering
from want or disease do not appear
to be the causes Of many suicides
Comparatively few suicides are com,
mitted in poor houses or charity
hospitals. They are more frequent
in fine hotels or elegant private
houses. Chicago Journal.

Presently | saw him. He was

PHILOSOPHY oF TROUSERS.

The Bag at the Knees Is Sign of High
Intellectual Development.
/ The intention of Providence is no.
where made more clear than in the
decree that the outer bifurcated gar
ment of the male human animal
shall, after a suitable period of util-
ity, bag at the points of genufexion.
This feature of mans attire is In
many ways a mark of superiority !;
and, instead of combating the tend
ency of which it is a result, the man
of true and honest pride in his man
hood will be satisfied. yea gratifed,
to see nature take its course. His
contentment will be second only to
that with which he notes the whiten-
ing of his hair, which, going on while
his vigor of mind and body remains
as it should be in his prime, becomes
the most honorable decoration that
it is possible for man to wear.
The bagging of his trousers at the
knees proclaims that man is animate;
the chintz coverings on the fiuted
legs of village pianos show no inter
mediate bagging. It is a mark of
humanity as distinguished from the
lower orders of animals; the stork,
one of the most conspicuous of crea-
lures in the matter of legs, shows
no bagging at the knees. The only
brute that displays this tendency in
noticeable degree is the elephant,
and it is significant that he, of the
brute creation, is the creature that
comes next to man in intelligence,
kindliness, and the other qualities
that go to make man superior among
created things
Mans baggy appearance about the
knees is also badge of usefulness;
the dude and other creatures that
are placed on earth to fill chinks in
the economy of creation do not bag
at the knees; but the dude is an in
complete entity by himself. Without
his "man" he is practically nonexist
ent; and in his man we find the char
acteristic and everpr esent evidence
of superiority-his trousers bag at
the knees, unless the dude makes this
impossible by putting him in livery
that does not include trousers. That
the bagging Of ones trousers at the
knees is an evidence of piety is so
plain that there is no occasion for
saying more on this point.
There is no plane of existence in
ferior to that of useful manhood in
which generous bagging at the
knees is an unfailing characteristic
of its occupants. 1t is natural and
necessary that the trousers of man
should bag at the knees. It is un-
natural and unnecessary to oppose
this tendency, and the ninety and
nine who look down and see their
neepans outlined and magniied
midway of their trousers legs should
feel pride and not humiliation in the
presence of the one whose trousers
legs conform to the equation of q
straight ine.-New York Sun.

which be uses Oh his farm, and ifhe
should use only ten tons per year he
6onld pay out hearty or quite fifty
dollars on that article alone to pay
for that protection of fifty dollars
which he has secured under the Nc
Kinley bill, on his potatoes. Nor
does be yet reach the end Of the cost
which that fifty dollars protection
puts him to. He pays fifth more at
least, for each tin utensil he uses.
The crockery and glassware he buys
costs him fully a third more then it
otherwise would cost him. The con-
diments with which be makes his
food palatable;; the blanket which
keeps him warm on the winter nights,
the misquito- nets, and wire screens
which permits him to rest during the
warm summer nights; the window
glass which permits his house to be
lighted in day time; and the coal oil
lamp which lights it at night; the
carpets and mattings on the floor Of
his house which adds to his comforts,
and without which be is uncomfort-
able, all cost him more money than
he otherwise would have to pay and
if he is a prosperous farmer the $50
protection which on occasional years
is accorded him on his potato crop
costs him annually upwards of one
hundred dollars.
That charming and loving friend Of
the American farmer and farmworker,
the Republican Protectionist, perverts
figures, not to enlighten but to deceive
men, and the man who tells the farmer,
whether that gentleman be Senator
Aldrich or Major Mckinley, that
taxing productions cheapens commo-
dities, like the serpent, seeks to fas-
cinate by charming insincerity
Common name falsehood.) And
those newspapers which lend their
columns to the presentation Of figures
to show that the extra tax on tinplate
has cheapened tin pals or extra duty
on knit goods has cheapened under-
wear, assume that most of their readers
are wonderfully dull Of understanding,
or they are we'll paid for propegating
falsehoods.

Possibilities of Tree P1antinc.

Seventy five years ago Thomas L.
Walker, then a mere boy, planted
four walnuts by the roadside oppo
site his fathers house near Cedar
Bluff, and some ten miles west o1
Knoxville. He died ten years ago,
yet he lived to see four walnut trees
grow to measure of four feet il
diameter, worth, if cut and properly
seasoned, at least $400 each. Had he
planted 300 walnuts on an adjoin.
ing acre of ground his heirs when he
died would have been s120, 900 better
off. Today they would be 5000, 00O
better off. Had he planted ten acres
they would be worth at least 81, ,000,-
900.
Had he planted a hundred acres,
and all the trees had reached an
average of three feet in diameter,
and there is no reason why they
shouldn't, as the land is fertile and
impregnated with lime, his heirs,
and there are only three living,
would be worth altogether 5000, 000,-
600. If, like old Johnny Appleseed,
who planted thousands of apple trees
in the northwest, he had planted all
the worn out fields in Tennessee in
walnuts, it would be the richest state
in the Union by far.-Knoxville
