DoDoING The RESPONSIBILITY,


The silver question IS still uppermost
ia the thoughts Of inanciers and business
men everywhere. The defeat Of the
free-coinage bin was used by the shrewd
man, who have distinguished them.

own silver mines or represent silver
mining states, as an excuse for passing
the Sherman law Of 1890 They said the
only way to prevent free coinage bill
was TO pass bill almost as
bad-the sherman bill. Referring to
this plea the New York
Times says "But. as matter Of fact.
there was never time during the ses

since, when hearty cooperation between

IT is difficult to say whether the dis
gusted leaders need a new party or the
disgusted party needs new leaders. but
there is no doubt that the Republicans
are not harmonieus They seem about
to comprehend, in a vague and unsatis-
factory way, that something is wrong
somewhere and somebody is responsible
for it. Nobody likes to say precisely
what is the matter. but many Of them

Care of details in manufac-
ture of Muslin Underwear
creates values. What of a
sleeve finished with a cuff
that is plated on the outside
of the wrist but is plain on the
underside? What of shapes

do not abound here. They
are almost universal elsewhere.
If you are hesitating be-

Intelligent comparisons bring
the business here. The last
analysis of our claims for your

As soon ms the secretary bird, OF
snake eater, of South Africa, discovers
n snake, il advances toward IL, without
hurry and without hesitation, and when
within striking distance IL Immediately
elevates its crest and the feathers of
the neck, and, without losing any
time, delivers blow with its foot. II
the snake has avoided the blow and at
tempts TO strike in return, the bird
interposes wing, thus receiving the
deadly faugs harmlessly upon the
long feathers, and Immediately strikes
again.
The fight is then virtually over, for
IL the secretary gets in single blow
the snakes back is broken, and the
bird, like lightning, plants its foot
firmly on the reptiles neck and head,
pressing them into the ground. while
it delivers the coup de grace with its
beak, and then deliberately swallows
the snake whole, beginning at the
tail, and, Just before the head dis.
appears, giving il a parting rap on the
ground.
But there is nothing refined about
the secretary birds appetite, for one
writer says he found inside one three
serpents ''as long rs bis arm," eleven
lie DIS seven inches long, twenty y-one
to. toises about two inches in diameter,
"besides a large quantity of grass

Gnlt Weed aud IFS Inhabitants.

The vegetation of the sea is limited
to the brown masses of snrgassum or
"gulf weed" which is most abundant
in or along the borders of the Gull
Stream and may he seen growing on
the sheltered reefs about Nassau. This
alga is especially interesting for the
wealth of marine life which IL shelters.
A large mass, which has been n floating
island for some time, possesses in fact
quite n varied fauna. IL You fish up q
handful of it and shake it over the
deck, the little animals pour down like
rain. Here are crabs and shrimps
without number, some of them very
delicate, no longer than n pin barna
cles, mollusks, and fish of several
species, one of which, the Antennarius,
regularly lives and builds its nest in
these little islands. This grotesque
fish is two or three inches long and
nearly as broad in vertical plane, aud
is variously spotted and notified with
light and dark-brown colors. Itslower
fms resemble pair of heads in shape
and function, and its head recalls that
Of medieval war horse armed and
plumed.
These little communities furnish n
striking instance of the protective col
oring OF animals, Il phenomenon OF
which there seem to be nearly as many
examples as there are living things.
The general cast of the plant and ani.
mails inhabiting 1t is a dull brown. The
goose barnacles, which are attached to
the sprays in great numbers, have
white shell-cases with brown stalks.
The crabs are brown with usually u
large white spot on their backs, APP
parently in imitation of the barnacles,
while many Of the little shrimps are
marked i'll the same way. The spheri-
cal floats of the sargassum are, further.
more, incrusted with the white lace
like skeletons of bryozoa. The brown
gulf weed is thus dappled with white,
and it is evidently advantageous for
animals living in it to simulate its col
ors, which they do in an extraordinary
manner. Popular Science Monthly.
