DEAD.
indicated

The death of JAMES G. BLAINE, SO
long expected, came this morning For
weeks this great and lofty spirit has
lowered on the border-land midway
'twix earth and the Great Beyond-wait
ing, patiently waiting for what, as all
knew, would concentrating to solve the
mystery of that other life-that life
which, if the Book be right, is to 60 so
far toward explaining the knotty prob
lem of human existence, and why our
highest and noblest ambitions are
doomed never to know fruition.
JAMES G. BLAINE is dead, and America
has lost her greatest living statesman-a
man who, Notwithstanding the malice of
opposing politicians, was essentially
great, haying, during his long career as a
party leader, rendered valuable services
to his country.
SO much has been written by the press
since it was known that the end was
near, that there is little else to be said.
Like all men who occupy positions of
prominence and trust, Mr.. BLAINE had
his enemies as we'll as his friends and adj
mirers. Yet it is conceded by all-friends
and enemies alike-that he was one of
the brainest men America has ever pro-
duced, and while perhaps opposing some
of his political views, must needs pay
tribute to the splendid ability which en-
abled him to rise in a few years from com,
parative Obscurity to the position of
honor, and power, which he occupied up
to the time of his retirement a few months
back.
1t is claimed by those who knew him
best that BLAINE more nearly resembled
CLAY in those rare and charming quail
ties Of sympathetic attraction and per
sonal magnetism so essential to leader.
ship, either in social or political life, than
any other man in American politics.
AS orator, scholar and author he had
reached the top round on the ladder of
fame, winning his hard earned laurels not
bV sensational Rotoriety, but by honest
and conscientious work.
Of late years BLAINE has seen much Of
sorrow, but this has only tended to en-.
dear him more closely to the nation
which hOnOred and reyered him, and
which, setting aside all differer ces, will
mourn as a common household the death
of the great statesman.

Should Be Punished,

Colonel Ramsey in Progressive Farmer.I
We learn that the bill of indictment
against Mr.. S. 0. Wilson charges that he
made signs by putting forth of the
tongue from the mouth" drawing the
hand across the mouth" and used a pass
word, namely, "three hundred" Now
if he did do all of this he ought to be
punished. No man has a right to be
putting forth his tongue" or to draw
his hand across his mouth" All this
must be stopped and We insist that the
law be used promptly. We further sug-
gest that the present legislature pass q
law making it a misdemeanor for any
dog to wag his own tail. This should
lot be allowed a moment longer. ANY
dog wishing to wag his tail should first
get permission of the solicitor of the
judicial district in which he lives.

THE FIGHT Is On.

1t appears from our London dispatches,
says the New York Sun, that a dress re-
form movement which seems to be of
real promise and Importance has begun
in England. 1t is directed against the
revival Of the crinoline, or hoop petit
coat, supposed to be intended by the Pa
risian despots of feminine fashion.
A pledge of rebellion against this par
ticular dictate of fashion has been sent
out by a No-Crinoline League, and it is
receiving many signatures. The femi-
nine subscribers pledge themselves to do
all in their power to prevent the wearing
of crinoline. Very properly and neces-
sarlly the organizers of the movement
have appealed to the Princess of Wales
for support. She has not yet granted
their petition formally, but it is under
stood that she is strongly opposed to the
threatened fashion and there is probably
good reason for believing that such is the
case. The vast majority of women of
all sorts and conditions must be of that
mind, for the new fahsion is both unbe-
coming and inconvenient, and the pres

How Corn Was Ground at One Time

mill, but rehistoric corn-such wheat,
for instance, as PythCas, the first tray-
eler from civilization to Great Britain,
saw the natives of Kent drying in large
sheds on account of the absence of sun
was ground in hand mills, as is still done
in the east. Quernes, as these mills are
called, are frequently found IN the CYCLIC
pean underground dwellings of Scotland.
Their simplest form consists of two thin
circular stones, the upper of which is
pierced in the center and revolves on a
wooden or metal pin inserted in the low
er one. The grinder dropped the grain
into the central hole with one hand, while
the other caused the upper stone to re-
volve by means of stick inserted in a
small hole near the edge.
The righteousness of this operation is
well illustrated by story told of Column
ba. He was studying under st. Finnian,
and every night on which it fell to his
lot to grind rhe corn with the querne he
performed his task so quickly that his
companions enviously asserted that he
had the assistance of an angel in turning
the stone Wilson INKS that at this
time (the early part of the sixth century,
the Querne was the only mill in use.
Large water mills Were introduced in the
thirteenth century into Scotland, and
legal means had to be employed to rem
der their use compulsory &

Meanpess In enc Chaste Dove.

Gases of meanness are not numerous
among the animals. A surprising one is
the innocent dove, which sometimes
hides under her wings food for which
she has no need simply to deprive her
companions. The sense of property is
manifested in the competition for prizes,
as in the struggle for the female or for
food, rank, territory or nests. The dog
distinguishes the property of his master
and even discriminates between objects
belonging to different members of the
same family.-Current Literature.
