Tho fiahy Liked 1t.


The hopelessness of combating indi-
vidual stupidity with the most enlight-
ssr--aA> 'sanit tory measures which the au-
'thorities can provide was evidenced the
other day on Grand street ferryboat.
A woman came into the cabin carrying a
baby Of perhaps 8 months and leading a
little toddler of about ~ years. Both chill
drep, as well as the mother, were COM
fortably clad, but the children's faces
were pasty and unhealthy looking, as if
unwholesome food and i'll ventilated
sleeping quarters were their portion.
The former undoubtedly was, for each
child was munching a large slice of not
too ripenor too clean watermelon, bought
from one of the peddling fruit stands
which abound in that locality. The baby
in arms kept at his piece with his tooth
less gums until he had secured several
bits, which he swallowed with gusto.
Alarmed for the effect upon his tender
or at least youthful stomach. passen-
ger, another woman, approached the
mother.
"Arent you afraid to let your baby
eat that? she asked, pointing to the fruit.
The woman looked up mystifed. ooh,
he likes it," she said.
"But it may make him sick, he is such
a young baby" persisted the other.
"Oh, no." answered the mother good
naturedly. Hes used to it and
peaches" she added, with an air of pride
at his digestive prowess.
And the other woman could only re-
turn to her seat vanquished, while the
watermelon pursued its colicky way

Showing That Plants Can See.

Can plants see? Darwin gave it as his
opinion that some of them can, and an
Indian botanist relates some curious in
cidents which tend to verify the belief.
Observing one morning that the tendrils
of a convolvulus on his veranda had de-
cidedly leaned toward his legs as he lay
in an attitude of repose, he tried series
of experiments with long pole. placing
it in such position that the leaves
would have to turn away from the light
in order to reach it. In every case he
found that the tendrfls set themselves
visibly toward the pole and in very
few hours had twiiled themselves closely
around it.-London Public Opinion.

The Dwarf Palm of Algeria.

The dwarf palm, which furnishes con-
siderable quantities of fiber, grows in
great profusion in Algeria and is one of
the principal obstacles to the clearing OF
the land, so thickly does it grow and SO
difficult to pull up. Its roots, in shape
resembling carrots, penetrate into the
ground to the depth of a yard or more,
and when its stem only is cut it sprouts
out again almost Immediately. AS its
name indicates, this palm is very small,

An Anecdote of Lord Lytton.

Many years ago when the elder Bull
wer was in his prime laborer on the
estate was engaged to do certain job
of hard work. At the end of week he
carried his account to the bailiff, who
said weeks work was worth shillings
and pence. The man insisted that this
was not enough and refused to settle,
and every time he met the bailiff he
would stop him and ask him for his
money. Finally the bailiff became
angry, discharged the man and refused
to allow any farmer on the estate to hire
him.
The man was forced to leave the
neighborhood, but he was too poor to
move any great distance, SO that he was
still within the circuit of the bailiff's i'll
will Wherever he went this pursued
him, and his life in consequence was a
hard one But all the time he kept tell
ing his family and his friends that some
day he would get the money which the
Bulwer Lytton estate owed him.
He was well on in years, when one
day he met a man in the road. It was
the some time poet Owen Meredith, now
come to the title, and English embassa-
dor to France, at home on visit.
"You are Lord Lytton, believe" he
said respectfully.
eyes"
"Then, if you please, 1 should like you
to pay an account which has been due
me for long time"
Lord Lytton looked at the account
and at his request the man told the
whole story The poet was very much
affected and disturbed. Then he said:
"Well, will do what l can to make
it up to you"
He was as good as his word. He built
a house at the gates of the park, put the
man and his family into it. and gave it
to them rent free. with other perquisites,
so that he was entirely comfortable for
the remainder of his days.-Hartford

Tho Author of "Gulliyer."

Between t7f4 and 1928, for q dozen
years, Swift remained in Ireland, with
ont intermission, altogether apart from
public life. At the latter date he went
to London, probably needing change
of scene after the shock of Miss Van
homrigh's death and the grievous sense
he must have had that it was he who
had killed her, and 1t was then that
"Gulliver" was published. The latter
portions of it, which the children have
rejected, we are glad to have no space to
dwell upon. The bitterness, passion and
misery of them are beyond parallel. One
would like to have any ground for be-
ieving that the Houyhnhms and the rest
came into being after Stslla's death, but
this was not the case. She was only a
woman and was not, after all, of such
vital Importance in the mans existence.
Withdrawal from the life he loved,
confinement in narrow sphere; the dis
appointment of soul which felt itself
born for greatness and had tasted the
high excitements of power, but now had
nothing to do but fight over the choir
with his archbishop and give occasion
for hundred anecdotes in the Dublin
coteries, had matured the angry passion
in him and soured the sweetness Of ma
ture. Few people now, when they take
up their "Gulliver," go beyond Brob-
dingnag. The rest is like a succession of
bad dreams, the confused miseries of
fever. To think that in deanery, that
calm seat of ecclesiastical luxury, with
in sound of the cathedral bells and the
choristers chants, brain SO dark and
distracted and dreams so terrible should
have found shelterl--Mrs. Oliphant in

WAkr Will M,KlNLtY say

The Cleveland Leader Of this morn
ing asserts what now seems pretty plain
to every one, that "the voting In the
House of Representatives yesterday
renders practically certain the repeal of
the law known as the Sherman act
which provides for the purchase, every
month, of 100000 ounces of silver
bullion and the issue thereon Of treas
ury notes to the value of the silver
bought" and adds: eve are glad to
assure our readers that the repeal Of
the bullion purchase law is at hand and
that the principle sentimental him
drance to revival of prosperity is
about to be swept away" y
The above is from the leading ex-
ponent of McKinleyism in the state of
Ohio and stands for the sentiment of
the Republican party of the state con-
cerning the unsoundness of theRepubll.
can silver purchasing act of 1890 and its
deleterious effect upon the country.
The question now arises as to what
Mckinley will say now. Happily his
record is at hand, lauding the Sherman
act of 1890 as the condensed wisdom of
the ages. Read it over and compare it
with his utterances now. This
extract is from Mr.. McKinley's
speech at Hartman's hall, Grand Rap
ids, Mich, shortly after the passage Of
the Sherman Silver Purchasing act bill.
He said:
What have we done? We
have passed the silver bill-the best
silver bill that was ever put upon our
statute books. What does it do? 1t
utilities every ounce, every pennyweight
of the silver product of the United
States. The government buys 4,500,000
ounces every thirty days, and issues its
treasury notes for that sum, and make
them redeemable in gold or silver, and
makes them receivable for debt, public
and private, absolutely legal tender
that puts in cir ulation little more
than two millions every thirty days,
and in addition to what is put in
circulation under the old law,
the two millions of coinage a
month. Then we have made
this silver as good as gold, and silver
today is nearer on an equality with gold
than it has been for eighteen years; and
why shouldn't they be side by side in
the business of this great country
Grover Clevelands administration
discounted silver from the moment of
its Inauguration to the conclusion of
his term; aye, he commenced discount
ing 1t before he was inaugurated, and
wrote letter to several representatives
in Congress, demanding suspension of
the coinage of two millions of money,
and said if it was not done it would
produce financial disaster. 1t was not
done and we had no financial disaster.
We said in our platform of 1883 that
gold and silver must be used as money.
We made that pledge good, for gold
and silver are together, side by side,
self reliant, each distinct in individu.
ality, but like unto each other as those
who love.
