the country nearly two billion dollars,

can be made smalier.-St Louis Re.

A LESSON OF THE ELECTION.
RepablieAn Corruption Discountenanced
by the People.

Republican COrrupefou DascOunfeu1nced
by the People.
Now that the will of the people has
been executed by a formal casting of
the electoral vote, there are many val
uable suggestions to be gathered from
the tabuiated figures indicating the re-
suit The feature first exciting atten-
ton is that Eve of the states cast a di-
vided electoral vote. In Michigan, un-
der the provisions of the Miner law,
this was legal necessity. but in Cali
fornia, North Dakota, Ohio and Ore
Ron it is accounted for by the closeness
of the vote. In this is conclusive evil
dence that important economical issues
have weakened party lines and that the
promptings of good citizenship are
stronger than those of the g. o. p.
under the guidance and control OF un-
principled. mercenary leaders. The
magnitude of this change is indicated
in the capture of Illinois and Wiscon-
sin oy the democratic forces. Such a
conquest is in itself OF vital Importance
but possesses still greater moral force
in the possibilities which it fore
shadows.

Hay for Working Horses.

Horses at hard work, especially 4
quick motion is desired. should not be
fed mainly on hay. 1t is too bulky in
proportion to nutritive value, and with
most kinds of hay the nutrition is not
of the right sort It produces warmth
rather than muscle and strength.
Good clover hay is more strengthening
than most other hays, but it is too PAL

An Oak Ia the Parlor.

A young oak tree growing in glass
or vase of water is not only ornamen-

suspended by thread within half an
inch of the surface of the water. Let
it remain undisturbed for a couple of
months, save for the filling up of the
vessel to raplace evaporation, and an
occasional complete change of the
water by siphon. The acorn will
throw a root down into the water, and
upward will shoot slender stem with
glossy leaves. Hyacintb glasses are the
best for the purpose. A little charcoal
at the bottom is needed to keep the

On the other hand, as pointed out by
