DIRECTOR HOLMAN states it as his
opinion that the tariff will be left as it
is and that many Democrats will suffer
disappointment at the small number of
changes Cleveland will make in the ap-
pointive offices. Without hope of office
the Democratic party Is nothing and if
the offices don't come now the spirit of
Andrew Jackson may be expected to
rise and disown the party.

Female physicians are scarce every
where except in the United States.
There are only 20 in London, five in
Edinburgh, two in Dublin, 30 in Paris,
one in AIgiers, and 1000 in the United
States.
Among the various pieces Of interest
ing information brought to light during
the deliberations OF the International
Monetary Conference at Brussels, is the
fact that there is at present no less than
81, 900. 600 of counterfeit silver money
in circulation in France, Belgium, Swift
erland, Italy, Spain and Portugal.
The superstition about the number 13
being unlucky is put to multiplied test
in the new twenty-ive-cent pieces. On
one side of the coin there are no less than
ten repetitions of the number -. There
are ID stars, 10 letters in the scroll held
in the eagles bcak, IS marginal feathers
in eachwing, 10 tail feathers, 10 parallel
lines in the shield, 13 horizontal bars, Ii
arrow heads in one claw, 13 leaves on
the branch in the other claw, and 13
letters in the words ''quarter dollar"
There hasn't seemed to be anything un-
lucky in the 10 original States nor in the
13 stripes on the flag, and now it remains
to be seen if the man who gets his
pockets full of these new quarter dollars
will be unlucky.

The st. Petersburg Gazette, referring
to the latest inundation of the Yellow
river in northern China, which will
again bring ii population of more than
million upon the point of starvation,
points out that these frequent or periodi-
cal calamities are the work of man rather
than of nature Many centuries ago the
Chinese interfered so much with the
stream as to compel it to change its
course and Olga new bed for itself. But
this bed the current has never grown
truly accustomed to. 1t will deposit its
immense quantities of sediment carried
down from the mountains in the most
unsuitable localities, forming shadows
and barriers which, when an unusually
large mass of water rolls down, will over
flow and break through its bikes and in
undate the fertile grounds along the
river bed. So it has been for centuries
past, and the living generations arc ex-
periencing again and again that the sins
of the fathers are being visited with
most terrible cruelty upon remote de-
scendants. 1t is doubtful whether the
river could be turned back into its old
bed, lying dry at present. But if it
could, the old bed has been changed so
much in the course of centuries that
even there, in its old, natural, and wonted
haunts, the current of the river might
not become Tranquil. but be forced to
produce periodical foundations as it does
in its present course.

But they bent and kissed the llmpled hand.

Sharing the little ones mirth and song;
Then, stealing along ON misty CLEANS,
Poppy came, bringing the sweetest dreams,
Playing and dreaming--that was all,
Till once the sleeper would not awake;
Kiss ng the little face unde the pail,
We thought OF the wor Is the third flower

And we found. betimes in hallowed spot
The solace and peace Of forget-me-not.
Butte cup shareth the joy of day,
Glinting with gold the hours of play;
Bringeth the poppy sweet repose,
When the hands would 70 and the eyes would

And after IL all-the play and the sleep
