There is one man knows it all about
Wall street His name is PETER He
has all along suspected that there was
was a conspiracy against silver paper
end aluminium, and the fact that sill
yer took rise of a point or two after
the government purchases were stopp-
ed. was great find for Peffer When
he wraps himself in his hair and lies
down to pleasant dreams, having lived
so that he goes to his couch not as a
sinner scourged, he will think that vast
and gloomy problem out. We do not
doubt he will spend his leisure in this
month preparing his acceptance of the
populistic nomination for the presiden-
cy. and jot down the outlines of his
inaugural address. PETER is fore
handed man in politics.

had Consumption and that there was
no hope for her, but two bottles of DR.
Kings New Discovery completely cured
her and she says it saved her life. Mr.
Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida st. San Fran

approaching Consumption, tried with
out result everything else; thea Dough-
cne hottie of DR.. Kings New Discovery
and In two weeks was cured. He is

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Miss Susan B. Anthony has evolved
n wise and practical plan for convert
ing men and women in New York state
&c woman suffrage If her plan should
prove successful, women in that state
are likely to vote for President in 1896.
Wonders have come up in night but
woman suffrage is no longer a wonder.
Miss Anthony wants a petition of one
million names presented to the con-
stitutional convention which meets next
May. She wants the state canvassed by
election districts, and wants the woman
oanyassers and other workers to be
paid for their work This is her plan,
in brief, as she presented 1t before the
state Woman Suffrage Association,
which has just closed its annual con-
vention. The delegates wisely adopted
the plan without unnecessary debate.
AT the last public meeting of the con-
vention over $500 were raised as a
starter for campaign fund. This en-
couraged Miss Anthony, and she now
believes that the fifty thousand dol
lars which she wants will be raised
without extra effort. The character of
the audiences at the meetings is high
ly spoken Of and indicates that woman
suffrage is becoming popular. When
such conservative women as Mrs. Rus
sell Sage. Miss Helen Gould, and Mrs.
S. Van Rensselaer, Cruger come out
for woman suffrage, the day cannot be
far away when all women, or a major
ity of them, will want to vote. Make
woman suffrage fashionable, and it is
sure to come. The men who say they
will vote to give woman the suffrage
when 'all'' women ask for it, must be
classed with those Christians who are
willing to send the gospel to the heath
en- when "all" heathens ask for 1t.

Democrats have been believing fol
years about war taxes, and now they
have come to the conclusion to establish
an income tax. They have two reas-
ons for doing it--one is to destroy pro-
lection as fast as possible, and the
other IS to cater to the stupid theories
of conceited persons who profess feeble
forms of socialism. The income tax
will be costly and insufficient, a culti-
walton of perjury, a practical swindle,
and 1t will drive a great deal of cap
ital out of the country. 1t will be a
hardship for honest men, and easy as
an old shoe on rascals

Terrors of tue Awful Pause.

We usually talk about the weather
when there isn't anything else to talk
about. This fact may tend to rob the
subject of its Importance, yet 1t should
not. In fact it ought to be greatly in
its favor, as it is ever ready aud efficient
in breaking the ''awful pause. Have
YOU ever been overtaken by the awful
pause9 Fortunate, indeed, if you have
not. and entitled to heartiest sympathy
il YOU have. 1t is truly awful, especially
if courtesy demands that you should
break it, 1t settles upon the best rugu-
lated companies like nightmare, aud
seems to paralyze the tongue and put
thought to fight. No one cau think OF
anything to say, or fears to attempt to
say it. Then,if ever, fool is welcome,
because he doesn't think before he
speaks. --Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.

opens at sunrise and closes at sunset,
whence its name "day's-eye." The
dandelion is said to open about seven
and to close about FIVE; Arenaria rubra
to be open from nine to three; the
white water lily from seven to four;
the common mouse-ear hawkweed from
eight to three; the scarlet pimpernel to
awaken at seven and to close soon
after two; Tragopogon prasensis to
open at four in the morning and to
close just before twelve, whence its
English name, John go to bed at
noon" Farmers boys in some parts
are said to regulate their dinner-time
by it. Other flowers, on the contrary,
open in the evening.
Now it is obvious that flowers which
are fortified by night-fying insects
would derive no advantage from being
open by day: and, on the other hand,
that those which are fortified by bees
would gain nothing by being open at
night. Nay, it would be distinct dis
advantage, because it would render
them liable to be robbed of their honey
and pollen by insects which are not
capable of fertilizing them / have
ventured to suggest, then, that the
closing of the flowers may have refer
ence to the habits of insects, and it
may be observed also, in support of
this, that wind-fertilized flowers do
not sleep. and that many of those flow
ers which attract insects by smell open
and emit their scent At particular
hours; thus Hesperus matronalis and
Lychnis vespertina smell in the even
ing, and Orchisbifolia is particularly
sweet at night

CURIOUS AMERICAN HOUSES.
Tho Strange Pile-Buildings Of Villages In
Venezuela.

vcnezuela.
Among the sixty-five million people
in the United States there are proba-
bly, not five hundred outside of the 10
cality who are aware that at the mouth
of the Mississippi there is little viii
lage built upon wooden piles standing
far out in the water. This village,
which is called Balize, is reached from
the mainland by canoes or boats. and
its inhabitants have to climb kind of
pole-ladder to get to the doorways OF
their homes. This is probably the
only place in the United States in
which ''pile-dwellings' occur; but all
along the Venezuelan coast and at the
mouths of the Ornico and Amazon SIM
liar villages are frequently met with,
many of them being inhabited by the
Indian fishing tribes of the Amazon
estuary.
These strange inhabitants were first
discovered BY Alonzo de Ojeda, who &C
companied Columbus on his second voy-
age to this continent In 1899 he under
took an independent voyage to explore
the northern part of South America. and
he took with him Amerigo Vespucci,
who wrote graphic account of the
expedition. The following extract
from translation of Vespucci's work
gives the origin of the name Venezuela
and tells of the connection between
the curious village discovered there
and the name Venezuela: proceeding
along the coast they arrived at vast
gulf resembling tranquil lake, enter
ing which they beheld on the eastern
side a village the construction Of
which filed them with surprise 1t

shaped like bells, and built on piles
