Lieutenant G. A. L. Totten, in refer
ring to the big spots on the sun now visi-
bic, says:
This is the time Of the eleventh stroke
of the midnight hour, and it is signifi-
cant Of tho universal financial stress.
The appearance of the extraordinary
spots upon the golden face of the sun
synchronizes with those days
upon which congress meets in extra SEES,
sion to discuss tho silver situation.
There is q serious responsibility rest
ing upon the men who constitute this
prelude to tho Fifty-third congress. and
all the inhabitants Of this land of Ma
nassch will watch their votes with re
lentless determination to judge them in
Idividually according to their deeds.
The day of Judgment is at hand.
But all who now resist the spirit of re.
pentance will be in an evil way not toe
long hence.-Boston Globe.

Why It's Done.

First, to stimulate business.
Next, to give our tailors,
work. We believe much Of
the stagnation OF our various
industries can be changed
by a bold determination for
business. It's for everybody
to assist in bringing about
better times. Our wage.
earners want work. Give
'em the work to do. 1t will
scatter millions of money
through every channel Of
trade. We're not alter
profits. We've cut every
thing to the quick, and are
willing to get nearly a new
dollar back for an old one.

There is more in that Rockland Qlls.)
mans experiment than would seem ut a
first glance. He proposes to have him
self buried alive, and promises at the end
of few weeks to emerge from his tomb
full of life and vigor and not the slight
est bit damaged by his contact with sus.
pended animation.
If the Rockland man succeeds, there
ought to be no more suicides. His due
tilted slumber will be panacea for a
great many things, including heart pan
les, domestic difficulties and short bank
accounts. We say this taking it for
granted that he will not keep his secret,
but will let the whole human family into
his confidence and fully explain how the
oriental trick Of filing grave for
awhile without dying is done.
When all the world has been enlight-
ened on this subject, tho lover whose
breast holds a tempest can seek surcease
of sorrow in one of the public letheala-
RUINS which will of course be estab-
lished. He can suicide for few weeks,
as it were, and only born fools will then
suicide for keeps. ....m...... ..-"
The man of family who finds hard
times pushing him to the wall can take
his whole brood to one of these temples
of temporary oblivion, and all can rest
there until the crisis is past. SO, too
the young man who has no money tc
spend on his vacation can have himself
put away i'll u niche in one of these place,
and give out that he is all the while
touring Europe. ..
The lethealarium will serve many pur
poses Of this kind and will help tc
spread optimism all over the sphere.

A story of the bold spiriting away of q
young woman comes from Dillon, Mon,
and reads as follows:
Last Sunday, while Miss Fannie Jag
gers was returning to her fathers house
on Horse Prairie in company with James
Lee, they were met by Bill Wells, a for
mer admirer of the young lady and re-
puted to be very tough citizen. Wells
drew his pistol and ordered Leo to ride
on ahead. lie then tied the girls bride
rein TO the pommel of his own saddle. and
in that fashion they started for the Idaho
line. Aftor going about 20 miles Wells
told Lee he might go home, which that
man did. Wells went on to 1laho with
the girl"
