He led me into gloomy old building
and up three pairs Of rickety stairs to
little stuffy room lighted only by
dirty skylight. Once in there he
locked the door, laid aside his
crutches, pulled off his gray wig, and
stood up, a powerful six-footer in the
prime OF life.
WELL" said /, Il see that you are
a fraud; what do you want with
me?"
He replied that he wanted my
purse, watch and chain, and to en-
force his claim produced an ugly
looking knife.

he said, "you cannot be heard in the
street and no one in this building

Il had sized hihup pretty close,
and concluded that he was blufiing-

Sell OTOId stock.

The Indiana Farmer says: Farmers
do not retain animals after the
perlod of profitable use is passed from
any special affection, but simply be-
cause they do not recognize the fact
that they are on, the down grade. Go
into the barns and fields OF men who
are thoroughly successful stock-raisers,
and you will find mainly young ami
mails; very rarely any that are much
passed their prime. On the other
hand, look over the stock Of men who
think that live stock does not pay,
and you will often see the reason
plainly written in the too great age
to which animals are kept :, r.,

Towering Bulbs for the window.

Freesias Hayacinths, Tulips, Ber-
muda Lilies, and Callas are the favor
tie bulbs for window cultti'e, and
they will amply repay inbeaGtiful and
fragrant bloom all the tf6dble and
expense they make. Some of the
other bulbs, not so we'll known as
those named, are fully as desirable
and, in some situations do better
The Albums are of this class. They
will grow and blossom under most
unfavorable conditions, simply re-
curing moderate amount Of heat,
air, water. and light Calochortus or
Butterfly tulips arc not so well known
for window culture as some other
bulbs, but they arc grand flowers for
the window, retaining their beauty
for long period. The varieties of
Narcissus, especially Polyanthus (Pa-
per white) and Poeticus poets Mar
cissus) are desirable bulbs for window
culture.
A well-known. but often forgotten,
point in bulb culture is that after
potting the bulbs should be placed In
a cool, dark closet or cellar to root;
when the top begins To show through
the soil or from out the point of the
Dulb, it may be brought to the light
and gradually be given more heat un'
til it comes into full bloom. The
better rooted the bulb before icing
brought into the light and heat, the
better will be its flowers. While
most bulbs are planted and pctted
during September and OctoSer one
may pot during November, and, II
proper care be given, feel quite sure
OF having an abundance of bloom
during the late winter months.

Kerosene emulsion has been found

two specimens put in a solution SO
per cent. alcohol showed signs of life
for nine and fourteen minutes re-
spectivelY. The emulsion was made
by dissolving ten pounds of hard soap
in twenty gallons Of soft water heated
to the boiling point, after which five
gallons of kerosene were added. The
mixture was then pumped brlskly
through spraying pump into the
vessel. The violent agitation caused

five minutes. After standing a few
minutes the kerosene about pint in
all, rose to the top Of the emulsion
and was taken off. The emulsion
was diluted by the addition OF forty
five gallons OF water, making about
per cent. of kerosene in the solution.
Care was taken not to dip the sheer

animals were in all stages of affection

Altgeld. of Illinois, Waite, of
Colorado, Stone of Mississippi, Till
man, of South Carolina. Pennoyer,
of Oregon, are among the freak
governors we gathered in with the
Democratic harvest of last Novem-
Der. "What a series of object les
sons they breaent!'' exclaims the
New York Trleu9e, and well may
it so exclaimF Altgeld sets him
self above the supreme court of the
United States, as the result of an
ante-election bargain, and delivers
himself of trade of abuse against
the courts in message pardoning
the convicted anarchists; Waite
threatens an Instruction if free
coinage is killed; Stone talks about
new financial system; Pennoyer
wires an insulting message to Pres
ldent Cleveland; Tillman forces an
absurd whiskev law on his state and
turns South Carolina into a big
bar-room. with himself as chief bar
keeper.
Judging from the character Of
the men, there are some other
Democratic governors who are only
awaiting the opportunity to disgust
the country and make their party
very tired. The Tri6une is right.

The Sherman Act

The Democratic press are at
tempting to make the Sherman Sill
yer Purchase Act the seapxeaeA OF
all the ills AmerlcanS f1s5ssVssre
now heir to.
This is as short-slghted as it is
illogical and false.
But let us, for the sake of argu-
ment, suppose it to be true.
And if it be true mhy did not the
ldst Congress viM Democratic ma-
j0rity Of Ocer $50 repeal tile Sher-
man Act.
1t did not for the good reason
that the Democratic party is gov
erned by the Bourbon South which
is solidly in favor of the Free Coin
age of Silver.
The real reason for the present
financial and Industrial depression
is the lack of confidence in the
financial and industrial policy of
the Democratic party.
II, as the Democrats professed be-
fore the last election, they are pre-
pared to save The country and have
a policy that will accomplish 1t, why
did not Mr.. Cleveland call an early
session of Congress and put this
policy into effect instead of letting
the country drift into a situation
where the shrinkage in values al
ready amounts to more than all the
money in the country, gold, silver
and currency of all kinds put to-
gether.
Why?
Because no ore knows better than
Mr.. Cleveland that this Congress is
as little prepared to fulfill its pledges
to the people as the last Democratic
Congress was.
The Sherman act should be re-
pealed.
The serious question is will the
Democrats repeal it.
If they do, it will be quickly dis
covered that the present terrible
financial situation is due to far
deepe: causes than the purchase of
few millions of silver. -Dolgeville
Herald.
