The Democratic Boston Herald regards
Mr.. Greenhalge's public addresses as in
feror to those of the Hon. John E. Russell.
It is evident that the esteemed Herald ap-
preciates the element of imagination in
political speaking N re than it does an :
herence to facts, for, as the Boston Journal
has very ably pointed out, good number
of the statements made by Mr.. Russell in
his address at the Democratic ratification
meeting, were absolutely and palpably
false. The Herald must admit that it is
giving any man a great advantage in the
discussion of political matters. to permit
him to manufacture his own statistics and
historical data. Perhaps, if Mr.. Russell
should confne himself to facts, his ad-
dresses would not so inspire the Herald !;
but we are inclined to think they would
help hin more in the estimation of the in
teiligent voters of the old Bay state.

Washington dispatches show that there il
a decided improvement in the condition of
the national banks of the country. The re-
serves are increased and money is fairly
easy. The reserves held in New York state
on the third of October, were 35.T per
cent rs against 25.3 per cent. on July 18th
of this year. and similar encouraging con-
dition of affairs 10 found to exist in the other
great cities of the country. While this in
dicates the passing away of the money
stringency, 1t does not follow that there will
be corresponding advance in the business
community. Nothing will probably be done,
in the case Of productive enterpr ses,
until their promoters ascertain accurate
ly whether or not, the results of Democra-
tic tariff reform will be to force them into
competition with foreign producers in their
respective lines. Not until this question is
definitely settled can we look for anything
like return to old time Republican pros
perity Should the Democratic party per-
sist in its free trade folly, that prosperity
will be looked for in vain until the people
at the polls, force return to the protective
system under which this nation attained
such magnificent growth and prosperity.

The passing away of hazing practices in
our American colleges has been very rapid
during the past few years and escapades of
this character will soon be things of the
past. This happy result has been due, in
no small degree, to the growing interest in
athletic sports that furnish harmless vent
for the surplus energy of the student body.
This fact should not be lost sight Of by
fdddy duddy "reformers"(?) in the educa-
tional world who inveigh against the college
sports, as if they constitute an evil that is
undermining the foundations of intellectual
growth and attainment in the institutions
where they flourish. The secular press
has, oftentimes. been prone to take this
narrow and short-sighted view of the mat
ter but we are pleased to see that instances
of this are becoming rarer and the
public generally is growing to appreciate the
fact that athletic sports belong as truly to
the legitimate life of college community
a. do any of the student in the curriculum.

Wonderful Salt Plains.

Mr.. C. E. Biddulph, in his Travels In
Persia and Transcaspia," gives a curious
account of the great salt plains in the neigh
borhood of the Black mountains. lie says:
Il obtained from thence one of the most
peculiar sights it has ever been my fortune
to look on, and that was an immense sea of
what looked like ice, but which was really
salt deposit, which entirely filled the hollow
in the plains toward the south and stretched
away as far as the eye could reach on either
side, glittering in the sun like sheet Of
glass. sat for hours looking ut this strange
spectacle through my fieldglasses, and lis
tening to the tales of my guides regarding
the peculiarities of its composition and the
dangers to be encountered in traversing it.
According to their account, this vast de-
post of salt was of the consistency of ice,
and, like the latter, formed a coat Of vary
ing degrees Of thickness upon the surface Of
the water which was underneath it, so that
in places where the coat attained thick
ness of several feet, as was the case in many
parts, laden mules and camels could cross
this plain with perfect safety, while in
others, where this is not the case, this crust
of coagulated salt would break beneath
their weight, and they would be engulfed
in the moraSS beneath"

THOMAS THURSTON,
A Famous Quaker of the Seventeenth Cen
turv-u Citizan nf Harfnrd Cnuntx,

Famous Quaker of the Seventeenth Cen
tury-a Citizen of Hartford County.
Synopsis of paper read before the Histori-
cal Society of Hartford county, Oct. q, 1898, by
DR.. George w. Archer:
The career of Thomas Thurston was certain
w turbulent and hayward one, if we con-
slider the fact that he was one of that meek
and lowly society called Quakers. An English
man by birth, his early days are, to us, shroud-
ed in mystery. His disappearance in America
was in August, 1856, when he and nine of his
eligionists-several of them women-ar-
rived in Massachusetts in a London ship, they
being, with the exception of two women who
had preceded them few weeks, the first of
their sect in New England. They were
brought before the court, but there being
then, of course, no law to punish Quakers,
they were merely banished after a brief i'm
prisonment, and their books were ordered
to be burned.
As laws were soon afterwards enacted pun
ishing this harmless sect with stripes torture,
mutilation, and even death, Friend ThurstOn
was certainly fortunate to get out of the
clutches of these fanatics with whole skin
latter part of the following year, he came
thence to Talbot county. Maryland, with two
other Friends, Coale and Campbell, on a mis-
sionary tour, as it is supposed. The usurper,
Kendall, was in power i'll Maryland at that
time, and as soon as it was found that Thurs
ton and his companions were beginning to OBJ
struct the government by persuading persons
to refuse to serve as jurors, or in any similar
capacity, they were banished. And in 1859
the Council ordered thai all Quakers who re-
turned should be whipped out of the province
by constables. Thurston soon returned, but
escaped the whipping on a technical plea, and
as again banished under severe penalty.
Nor does it appear that any Quaker was ever
whipped in Maryland, even under Fendalls
exceptionally intolerant rule. Three persons,
however, are said to have been ''fined for en-
tertaining Thomas Thurston, a preacher y

Language of Ants.

1t is no longer necessary to prove the eX-
istence of language among insects. What
is now of interest is to find out, If we can,
the extent and limits of their language
and the ideas and differences to which it
gives rise. A professor in natural history
in Prussia recently stated that ants are pro-
vided with a sounding apparatus resem-
bling that Of the wasp, by means of which
faint sounds suited to the ears of ants are
produced. This remains to be proved.
How is it that these small creatures can
venture far from the nest, distances that
are relatively enormous, and never hesitate
about the road to take when they wish to
retrace their steps? Learned men who
have studied the matter attribute the pow
er to the fornnic acid given out by the IN
sect as it travels, so that it finds its way in
exactly the same way that fox or dog
does.
Zone day." says NJ. Levallois, 81 followed
an ant for long time. She was far from
the ant hill and seemed to have no inten-
ton of soon returning.
I'm the middle of the path she came upon
the dead body of good sized snail. She
first walked all around it, then climbed up
on theugly creatures back, crawled all over
it, and after this thorough examination,
instead of going on, Immediately returned
to the nest.
when half way home, she met one of
her companions. In an instant they had
touched or rubbed antenn8 with great ami
nation, and she was pursuing her course
The same performance took place when she
met a second and third, and as soon as
she had left them they quickly turned to-
ward the spot where the snail lay.
"The first ant soon entered the nest, and
lost sight of her. But doubtless she con-
tinued her work of informing and exciting
the rest, for long line of ants Immediately
came out and set forth for the prey. Ten
minutes afterward the snail was entirely
covered with the yellow swarm, and by
EVENING" not a trace of it remained.-Youth's

The parts in speech of common CONVEX

of AGO feet even when the air is perfectly
calm. A powerful human voice, speaking
in an observable breeze. is audible, but not
distinguishable as to parts, at a distance Of
$40 feet with the wind. The sound of a
strong brass band cannot be heard at a
