The news is telegraphed from
Washington that Southern congress
men who were most interested in
defeating the force bill, it is reported,
may aid their Western colleagues in
opposing the unconditional repeal of
the Sherman silver bill. This state
of affairs is represented to have been
brought about by correspondence be-
tween Western silver men two years
ago in helping to defeat the force bill.
This is genuine reciprocity in the
interest of truth and justice. The
South and West defeated the force
bin. They should and will stand
together in opposing the attempt Of
Cleveland and his goldbug masters
and allies to infict upon the people
more misery and nearer approach
to slavery than was contemplated by
the force bill.

Even the women, who generally do
not take an absorbing interest in
politics, are becoming enthused over
the silver question. The ladies Of
Salt Lake city are to hold mass
meeting tomorrow evening to discuss
the outlook for the white metal and
it is fair to presume that resolutions
will be adopted that will cause Cleve-
land, Sherman & Co., to fell as small
rs they really are. Welcome to the
recruits. With the women on the
right side the victory is already won.

Guessed He Knew the Hair.

One of the grain operators IN the
Chicago board Of trade was married a
short time ago, says the New York
World, and OF course the first time he
appeared on the board after his
honeymoon he was subjected to many
congratulations and much good
natured bantering.
One Of his friends after congratulate
ting him suddenly reached over and
took long brown hair from his
shoulder.
"Loolls bad in a married man,
Ticker" he exclaimed, holding it up
to the light.
ooh, that's all right" said Ticker,
smiling, ''it's my wife's."
"No, no, that won't do, responded
the friend, ''your wife's hair is
darker than that
That made Ticker a trifle angry,
and he exclaimed excitedlv: 81 tell
YOU it is my wife's. | guess know
my wife's hair when | see it,"
"Well, you certainly ought to. !"
said the friend, gazing intently at
it. "But are you sure it's your
wife's?"
"Sure? OF course / am. Why do
you ask?
ooh, | thought perhaps there
might be a mistake. You see, l
found it on Browns shoulder just
before saw YOU"
Ticker's smile was sickly one as
he invited the crowd out.

sounding the Atmosphere.


Beyond $4,000 feet above sea level,
the height reached by Glaisher in 1852,
man has never been able to navigate
the air. Various problems concerning
the region farther away-such as The
temperature, the pressure, the quantity
of moisture, the composition of the
air, etc. = have attracted the attention
of physicists, and have at last led to
the experiments of M. Hermite, who
during the past few months has been
sending up pilot balloons carrying regis
tering apparatus. These balloons are
very light, with capacity of about
100 to 200 cubic feet. Falling at dis
tances from Paris ranging up to 200
miles. the balloons have nearly all been
returned by their finders as requested
on card attached to each, and one
has brought down records from a
heigth of 10000 feet. The instruments
used are very light and simple. With
larger balloons and systematic explora-
tion it is hoped that the secrets of tie air
up to at least 10000 feet may he made
as familiar to US as those of the deep
est and darkest depths of the sea are
gradually becoming.

ELECTRICITY VS.. STEAM.

An Interesting Debate by the Port
Penn Debating Club.
The skating was fine on the river all last
week and greatly enjoyed by the young
people, but is now no longer practicable.
The Literary Society met Wednesday
evening at the home of ur. Henry Cleaver
and was well attended There was quite
an elaborate number OF the Literary
News" including several original articles
and poems, as well as many selections.
Some good things were read by various
members OF the society, and Mr.. Franklin
Brockson gave an excellent recitation from
Mark Twain. The next meeting will be
held at the residence of Mr.. T.F. Dilworth.
The Debating Club met Tuesday night.
The subject being: Resolved, that Elec-
tricity is more Beneficial than Steam. !"
The discussion was very lively. Messrs.
John Aspril and Thomas Higgins on the
affirmative; Hiram d. Griffin and Franklin
Brockson, negative; judges, Messrs. Price,
Kershaw and Swartz, who decided for the
affirmative, two to one. After the debate
eight of the young men armed themselves
with a weak horse-fddle, dilapidated
horn, l tomato can and strings of sleigh
bells, and proceeded to favor H. D. Griffin
with mild but eminently respectable cali
thumpian serenade.

horticultural Proere.

AmercaE horticulture, according to
Mr.. J.. III. Bailey, may be said 10 have
begun with The century, an it las
yielded wonderful results. During This
time varieties of all the leading species
of cultivated plants have multiplied in
this country from 200 per cent. To 1000
per cent. or more. If McMahon's cata-
lQgue of 1906 was comtlete, the varieties
of apples have increased since then from
50 TO about $500, peals from 40 10 1UUU.
beets from to AZ, cabbages from IA to
over 100, lettuces from 16 TO about 12p
The variation still continues. Jhe
sum of novelties increases each year,
and every generation sees, for the most
part, new type of plants. There has
probably been no parallel to the marvel
lous evolution of native American
fruits. Within the century, grapes,
cranberries, the most popular gooseber-
ries, some of the mulberries, the rasp-
berries and blackbefries, the 'pecans
and some of the chestnuts, and perhaps
the Strawberries, have been procured
from wild species. Men still living re-
member when there was no CONNER cial
cultivation of these fruits. New plums,
new grapes, and other fruits, are still
appearing, and will be staples century
hence. In 1906 there were 45O native
plants in cultivation, while in 1891 not
less than 2416 had appeared in gardens
north of Mexico, 1S5 Of them being ad-
ded in the latter year. New plants.
especially the ornamental, continue to
come from every part of the world, in
addition to those from the native fora.
The last few years have witnessed great
improvements in the rearing of plants,
and in methods Of handling and pre-
serving horticultural products.

Mud and SInsh.

We have had plenty Of it this week,
mud and slush all over town. The
January thawn did it. There is moth
ing like old Sol for clearing away
snow and ice. His penetrating rays OF
the few days past have caused the
streets to almost overflow, and men
have been busy cutting a passage
through the cutters. But the most
careful effort can not prevent the
streets and crossings from being in a
sad fight, and those who have to
travel them are often equally SO. 1t
is no small task to keep even little
town like ours clean at such time as
this, what must it be in a great city
like New York; but there the slush is
welcome, because it gives a prospect
for removing the quantities of gar
bage that has been collecting for
weeks, and everything being frozen
up, it has been impossible to remove
it. Now when the health authorities
begin to rejoice over the thaw, the
weather clerk. hard-hearted wretch,
announces another 'cold wave" on
the wing.

How Happy We WIN Be.

One half the pleasures of life are
found in anticipation, and as we jour-
ney along life's way from youth to age
we are longing to turn another page.
This is as true of the seasons as any
thing else. When the short autumn
days are here, and life looks dark and
dreary, tits then the winter is most in
viting. The long winter months with
all their social delights and sports, how
glad we will be when they comel But
we are hardly settled to enjoy these
pleasures before visions of springtime
delights come fitting through our
minds, and we begin to long to heal
the little birds burst forth in twittering
song. What changeful, restless mortals
we are! Only few weeks ago every
body was wishing for snow, ice and a
real old d-fashioned winter; now we've
had it; and there is not man, Woman
or child who will not gladly welcome
the sound of the fish horn, that first
harbinger of spring.
