have societies representing states,
other societies representing Aneri-
cans of several generations, and still
others representing Americans of
but one generation, who are anxious
that there shall be no more first gen.
erations born in this country. And
| it NAV we'll be admitted that if these
are to represent the spirit of the
class it is high time to stop the sup
ply.
But occasionally an association is
organized representing something
more than a mere spirit of caste, a
sectional feeling, a physical survival
of an illustrious ancestry, or a snob-
bishness which seeks to withhold
from others what it has itself en-
ioyed.~ One of these is now called
the 101, and by that name it is known
and recognized everywhere in this
country as body which won the
first battle in conflict which will
finally result in the greatest reforms
of the century. The remarkable
demonstrations which followed the
election of Senator Palmer two years
ago, unparalleled in any similar con-
test in our history, were not so much
a tribute to the victorious candidate
as to the principle which has tri-
umphed in his election and to the
men who had upheld and vindicated
it in it's trial. 1t was realized that
upon the democratic members of the
assembly, in the absence of law,
rested the success or failure of re-
form which had been made necessary
by the aggressions of plutocracy in
the United States senate. The pop
ular tribute was accorded to them
more than any one man.
Senator Palmer's defeat would
have Indefinitely postponed the re-
form in senatorial elections. His
success has FASTENED and is hasten
ing it. The country has had album
dant evidence of the fact since the
day of his election that the people
are drifting toward a sixteenth con-
stitutional amendment embodying
all there is of the Illinois idea and
carving it forward to a more per-
feet application to our system OF
government. Before this is accomp-
lished there must be a struggle with
Plutocracy, which will not surrender
without it its possible control of the
upper branch of congress. In such
a contest the members of such an
organization as this can do great and
effective work by keeping alive, as
body, the recollections of a great
popular triumph and by contributing
as individuals to formulating in law
the principle behind that triumph,
For this reason the Republic well
comes the Illinois legion. Not for
what its members have done, though
that is much: not for duty well per-
formed, for duty must be done with
out regard to psalms or incense
But by the force of illustrious exam
pie for others to follow and the glory
of an achievement which will serve
as a constant inspiration to those
who are enlisted for the cause. the
Illinois legion justifies its existence
and merits place apart from those
who only vaunt themselves with
sounding brass and tinkling cymbal.

TAKE TREATMENT NOW.
Time and again the physicians of
the Scott Medical Institute have add
vised patients in desperate stages of
catarrhal trouble to wait until sum-
mer before taking treatment. Time
and again they have urged the neces-
sity of taking treatment while the
weather was favorable to a cure.
Now is that time. Those who suf-
fer from catarrh should take advan-
tage of all the influences that operate
now in favor of a cure. They should
not put off treatment until next win
ter's stormy days, but should Pru-
IDENTIFY mend their roof while the
sun shines" Now is the time, and
the opportunity is just what is de-
sired for the worst cases. Do not let
it 90 by, but place yourself under
treatment of the Scott Medical Insti-
tute, and have done for you in the
next month or two what might not
be possible to do until next summer.

THE STATE OF TRADE.

ssSse 1sradstreet's for March 25 says spe-
cially photographed reporta concerning
the ststesof trade throughout tho United
States indicate that d1uti.ess. is charac-
teristic in South Atlantic and gulf
States, where interior merchants are
buying in. smaller quantities and asking
longer credits; in central Western
States the merchandise movement is
irregular, shipments from the larger
cities not being up TO the seasons
average. Business in the northwest
has been obstructsd by interrupted rail-
road traffic, refusals to grant longer
credits, and decreased demands. Under
lying these features are protrated cold
and stormy weather, reduced demands
for goods by the country merchant ex-
cept on longer credit, checked move
ment Of cotton South, and restriction
OF discounts due to monetary stringency.
Less plant has been heard among
New Englands leading manufacturing
industries, there being an excellent de-
mand for woolens, cottons and shoes.
The like is true in tho Middle States,
and higher prices for pig iron and steel
billets at Pittsburg, with improved de-
mand at other iron cen ters, are encour
aging 'as to the outlook. These adj
vEnces, and that in sugar, due to reported
shortage of the Cuban crop, with gains
in petroleum and cotton, are oF-cc..'oy
declineg in most Of the food staples.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Justice Blatchford's wealth was
partly inherited. His father once lost
$4,000, it is related, having set valise
containing that amount down in Full
ton street, New York, to buy some pea
nuts and gone off forgetting it. But
he was so wealthy that the loss did not
hurt him much.
Sir Leonard Tilley completed two
years ago his second term as lieuten-
ant-governor of New Brunswick and
he is still serving because partisan
politics there is very bitter and the
government has avoided the danger of
exciting the animosity of one faction
by failing to select his successor.
Mrs. Frederika Macdonald, a we'll
known English writer and lecturer,
and Mrs. Annie Besant, who holds
Nine. Blavatsky's scepter, engaged in
public disputation in London recently
about the merits of theosophy and Bud
dhism. The debate resulted in a drawn
battle, but was most interesting to the
audience, as each disputant made an
animated argument to support her
thesis.
Pierre Lott, who is about to start
out on tour to Egypt and Palestine,
appears to be a great favorite with
some of the feminine readers of his sto-
ries. In lecture which she lately de-
livered about the novelist, Nine. The
nard said that 'at receptions they over
whelmed him with adulation, and had
he partaken of all the ices and wines
they pressed on him he would have died

There were great rejoicings among
the pupils of NJ. Benjamin Constant
| upon his election to a membership in
the French academy. A reception was
given him at one studio by the men
there, and a triumphal arch of roses and
laurels was erected by his girl pupils
in his studio in the Passage des Pano-
ramas. Besides this, the staircase to
the street was lined with young girls,
each of whom held aloft long spray
| OF. flowers or palm branch as the
painter descended, forming a floral
canopy over his head.
The prince of Wales not long ago
was one of a large house-party, his
host being a very well-known peer.
After dinner, the royal guest, the host,
and the other male visitors repaired to
the billard-room. On table at the
side were two or three boxes of cigars,
and the prince was helping himself to
one, when an ambitious millionaire APP
preached him, and taking from his
pocket cigar-case, held it out to the
prince, saying: 81 think, sir, you will
find these better" ''Mr. -" replied
the prince, ''if mans dinner is good
enough for me, his cigars are good
enough for me-" The millionaire was
unexpectedly called away to town next
morning on business.

Home.

There is vast difference between a
house and a home. The house is but
the building and the furniture-the
outward shelter and the gathering
place of the household. The home in,
cludes the kindly family affection, the
thoughtful care and ready sympathy
and mutual confidence and trust of the
members. A true home breathes the
atmosphere of love. A child should be
made to feel that his homes indeed a
home-the happiest place in the world
to him-not merely an outward shelter
and resting place, but center of en-.
ioyment, sanctified and purified by
love, the thought and remembrance of
which shall be the safeguard of his
life as he goes forth to the world, Civ
ing strength and proportion to his
character, and turning his thought tc
all that may prepare for the heavenly
home when the scenes of earth shall
have passed away.-Detroit Free Press.

The King of Spiders.

Ceylon is the home of the largest
species of spider that has yet been made
the subject of chronological investiga-
tion. This web-spinning monster lives
in the most mountainous districts of
that rugged island, and places his trap
not gossamer snare of airy light
ness-but a huge net of yellow silk
from five to ten feet in diameter, across
chasms and assures in the rocks. The
supporting guys on this gigantic net,
which in all cases is almost strong
enough for hammock, are from five to
twenty feet in length las conditions and
circumstances may requlre) made OF
series of twisted webs, the whole being
of the diameter of lead pencil. As
might be imagined, this gigantic sillSen
trap is not set for mosquitoes, flies and
pestiferous gnats, but for birds, gaudy
moths and elegantly painted butterflies,
some of the latter having a spread OF
wing equal to that of robin or blue
jay. Some extra fine skeletons of small
birds, lizards, snakes. etc, have been
found in these webs, with every vestige
of flesh picked from them. The owner
and maker of these queer silk traps is a
spider with a body averaging four
and q half inches in width and six
length, and with legs nine to twelve
inches from body to terminal claw.
Some are spotted, others. red with
greenish gold abdomen and legs.-St
Louis Republic.
