Wait Awhile.

The Montpelier Post wants to
have call issued for the organiza-
ton of Democratic party in Bear
Lake county. We can't imagine
what the Post would do with a
Democratic organization if it had
one. Democracy is back number
in Idaho. We suspect that the
great masses are no longer thrilled
by calls to rally to the standard OF
either of the old parties. The pol
iticians will have a terrible struggle
to keep up the machine that has
been converted into an imple-
ment of torture. The old parties,
for the same reasons, have gone the
way of the Spanish inquisition and
other iniquitous contrivances. We
wish the Post would tell us what it
proposes to accomplish by Demo
cratic organization. Certainly not
tariff reform, because the New York
World under directions of Mr..
Cleveland, has said there must be
no tampering with the tariff until
afterthe financial question is set
tied, by the demonetization of sill
yer. When the Democratic party
has accomplished the demon
etization Of silver it will not make
much difference in this country
whether the tariff is reformed or
deformed. We here can get a buff
falo tail and run wild. That is
about what the policy of the Dem
ocratic party means to the west
yet, people want to organize it in
order to make it's disaster breeding
measures more effective. Let us
wait until congress takes action on
the silver question. 1t will be time
enough then for organization, and
if we mistake not the temper of the
times, there will be an organization
of the people such as before the his
tory of the country never knew.
Reasoning people will do well not
to compromise themselves. They
will remember that they owe
more to humanity than party. and
that they were Americans before
they were democrats and degenera-
ton had set in.-Caldwell Tribune.

A Disability.

The applicant for pension was
asked to step forward. "You have
applied for a pension?" said the
examiner. "Yes," sir. "Were you in
the army?" "Of course" "What
were you, officer or private?" "Sut-
ler, sir" "Ohl Well, what is your
claim for q pension?" "Rheuma-
tism, contracted in the service, sir. "
"Ah What's the cause of it?" "The
soldiers of the company ducked me
in ice-cold water, sir, for charging
four prices for everything, Sir, and
and I've been q sufferer every day
since, sir."-Detroit Free Press.

Old play-bills or advertisements
are pounded up for pasteboard.
Scraps of paper are sold to paper
makers and are made into pulp
and again presented to the public
in the clean white sheets, while the
bones that are thrown daily into
the street after being burned and
pulverized are used for enriching
the soil of market gardens. Old
tins are very valuable; often the
chiffonnier fills them with earth
and uses them like brick to build a
wall, supporting hut made of
every imaginable refuse, as may be
seen by those who have.the curiosi-
ty to visit the "cites des chiffon
niers," where they congregiate, en-
camped like savages. The inge-
nuity with which the French make
something useful out of the most
hopeless rubbish is remarkable.
They melt old cans, hoopskirts, and
other fruit of the dust-cart, and
mold them into window weights.
even bits of broken glass are useful.
The fragments of various colors are
mixed together, after having been
broken to a suitable size, and are
then placed in molds and fired. A
coherent mass is produced which
can be dressed and cut into blocks,
which are used as artificial marble.
Another curious vocation is that
of the men who sit on the London
sidewalks drawing pictures on the
flags in parti-colored chalk. AT
night they bring roughly extempo.
rized lantens to bear on their work,
a hat being placed alongside to re.
ceive contributions from passers-by
Sometimes they get quite little
money from foreigners who are
struck by the novelty of the idea
And as things go. it is an easy
enough way to make living
There is another set of men in Lon
don who pick up precarious living
by giving curbstone recitations
For the small sum of sixpence (col-
lected in advance) they will recite
a poem impressively enough, anc
then seek another street corner tt
repeat the performance.
Not long since I discovered a
man in New York who makes {
speciality of matching lost buttons
His shop, a dingy little low-ceilingec
room, was surrounded by shelves
on which were piled boxes of but
tons of all sorts and conditions
While I was there a girl came ii
and asked him if he had any lik'
those on her jacket. He took dowr
several specimens, and presently
found one, which he sewed on. Sh'
paid him ten cents. That is tn
usual price, though rare button
come higher. At regular interval
he goes round collecting button
among tailors and dressmakers
who save them for him and sci
them very cheap. He has a-set o
regular customers, and they rarel,
go away without finding exactl.
what they want.-Charles Robin

Infant Food for Japanese.

The Japanese child begins his tea
drinking and rice eating at very
tender age, the first draught of tea
being given as soon as the child is
weaned. The rice is served hot at
breakfast and dinner and cold for
supper, with hot tea poured on It.
"No Nipponite mother of the old
and really only interesting Japan
ese school," says writer, "is able
to coax herself to give the child CT
her bosom cows milk, "the milk OF
a BRUTE" as she contemptuously
terms the beverage.

Built to Be Fat---No Help for It.

The fat man in the club parlor
gave a despairing groan. ''It's no
uee," he said. "This too solid flesh
won't come off for anything lees
than starvation. I tried Turkish
baths daily and didn't lose an ounce.
I tried anti-fat remedies and they
gave me dyspepsia, without doing
me any good. l lost two or three
pounds by drenching my stomach
with warm water an hour before
breakfast, but as soon as stopped
l was back at my full weight. /
tried exercise and massage, and
they only increased my appetite. l
left off certain dishes. Bosh! I've
been cruel to myself in several diff
ferent ways, and I've got through
with it. l tell you when man is
built to be fat, he's going to be fat,
and that's all there is about it. I'd
rather carry this load, anyway, than
to go around all the time in weak
and starving condition. IN Y. Sun.

Marriage Maxims.

Never taunt with a past mistake.
Never allow a request to be re-
peated.
Never both be angry at the same
time.
Never meet without a loving wei
come.
Let self-denial be- the daily aim
and practice of each.
Never talk at one another, either
alone or in company.
Never let the sun go down upo n
any anger or grievance.
Neglect the whole world besides
rather than one another.
Let each one strive to yield most
often to the wishes of the other.
Never make remark at the ex-
pense of the other-it is meanness.
Never part for day without low
ing words to think of during alb
sence.
Never find fault unless it is per-
fectly certain that fault has been
committed, and always speak low
ingly.
The very nearest approach to
domestic happiness on earth is the
cultivation on both sides of abso-
lutte unselfshness.
Never let any fault you have
committed go by until you have
frankly confessed it and asked for
giveness.

kalani to the Hawaiian throne.
The correspondence on the Hawaiian
matter and the report of Secretary OF state
Gresham, were made known to the public
saturday evening. The Secretary, after
reviewing the history of the Hawaiian
revolution, declares that the present gov
ernment there was virtually established by
United states Intervention; that the treaty
should not again be sent to the senate and
asks should not the great wrong done To
feeble. but independent state by an abuse
of the authority of the United States be
undone, 10y restoring the legitimate govern
menp Anything snort of this will not, !

Secretary Gresham claims that according
to Commissioner BiuLnts report. the pro-
Visional government was established under
protection ot United states troops from the
inau-ot- war Boston. and that without this
aid j, could not have been accomplished.
The queens abdicaion was the result OF
this action and was merely temporarily,
pending, as she OIL cially expressed the
