The iar-C:i2n OF q German T.Sc. to
Protect Soldiers.
PrOjectile makers In recent wears
have expended much rooncv. time and
ingenuity in increasing the efficiency
OF the various missiles that come with
in scope Of their endeavors. and thew
have undoubtedly achieved some won
derful results. But of what use is it
all? No sooner is the proiectile i'm
proved to the extent of demolishrng
the likeliest object of it's attack than
some counter Improvement is made to
defeat the improved p~rojectile. Armor
plate is made too strong to be pene-
trated by missiles of the greatest
known penetration, and then missiles
are made to penetrate the armOr, and
stronger armOr has to be made. So the
inventors in the two lines keep playing
seesaw with n another, now one I'D
and now the other, until it seems as if
their rival efforts must produce about
the same result as if neither had ever
begun, and as if the best way to end it
all was to mutually agree to do moth
ing.
Here is a German tailor in Mann
helm, for instance, says the London
News, who had apparently defeated
the lately gained and much lauded in
creased penetrating power of the Ger
man rifle ball. He has invented or dis
covered some substance which resists
bullets in a way that greatly astonishes
military men, and the army magnates
are after his secret. Military commits
slons have made numerous tests and
declared the results most satisfactory.
The inventor has made the material
into a sort of cuirass or breastplate in
tended to be fastened to the uniform at
the shoulders and the thighs and
weighing only six pounds. The sur
face of the breastplate is of ordinary
military cloth, and the resisting sub
stance is put underneath. OF course it
leaves the head, arms and legs ex-
posed. At one of the tests a life size
dummy figure of a soldier was dressed
up with n of the shields and set up
to be fired at. Not one of the bullets
that struck the figure went through
the material. They were found i'm
bedded in the coat, all of them fat
tened by the resistance offered. In or
der to find the probable effect of the
bullets upon a human body the dummy
vas covered with soft material under
the b~reastplate, and the effect upon it
was but a slight depression, less than
a tenth of an inch beneath where the
bullet struck. 1t seems likely, there
fore, that a soldier wearing the armor
would suffer some pain on being struck
by a bullet, and at a short distance
might even be rendered insensible, but
it is thought he could not be seriously

And Thereby Caused a COmmotion in the
Theater.
AT the theater One night two gentle.
men sat in the front row, next to the
orchestra. Directly behind them sat a
gentleman and his wife. A few mo-
ments before the curtain went up one
of the gentlemen in the front row put
his arm on the back of his companions
seat.
While talking to his friend he felt a
slight pinch on the arm. On looking
around he saw that the lady behind
him had turned to look up to the bal
cOny, and in SO doing had placed her
hand on his arm. Realizing that she
had dOnes SO uncOnsciOusly, he did not
his arm, says the Rochester
Union-Advertiser.
Soon, however, he felt d hard pinch.
Thinking that the best way to call the
lady's attention to what she was doing
would be to ask if anything was
wanted, the gentleman turned and
asked:
What is it, MADAME"
"Sir?' said the lady, and Immediate
ly the husband blazed up.
What do you mean by speaking to
my wife?" he demanded.
Don't mean anything" was the re-
ply, but l would like to know what
your wife means by pinching my arm?"
Then both men looked at the lady's
hand, which still rested on the arm.
Both smiled, became a little nervous
and apologized. During the rest of
the performance the lady kept her
hand in her muff.

A Civilized Gorilla.

At the aquarium in Berlin there is a
big gorilla whose habits are about as
correct as those of the most of his dis.
tant relatives. He gets up at eight in
the morning, takes a bath, and uses
soap without hesitation. When his
toilet is completed he takes q cup OF
milk, after which he eats two loaves
of bread with Frankfurt sausages and
smoked Hamburg beef, all of which he
moistens with a glass of weiss beer.
AT n P. m. he takes q bowl of soup.
with rice and potatoes, and a wing OF
a chicken. lie uses his knife and fork
and his napkin; but when he thinks
that his keepers are not observing him
he discards the impediments of civil.
zation and plunges his muzzle into the
bowl, as if to give evidence of the mel.
ancholy fact that even a gorilla can be
a hog.

Herr MIGUEL, the German Minister of finance,
declal es that Germany can quite we'll afford
the expense of the Army Bill; bat the figures
with which he ~sustains his argument are
unsatisfactory. What is the use of saying
that this and that nation pays SO much a
head for it's defences, when the real question
is how much it has in its pocket to pay with
The Austrian Government is wiser. 1t is
asking for 100000 a year more, to be spent
chiefly in increasing the number of its officers,
guns, and horses; but then it is rich. There
are surpluses in both divisions Of the
Monarchy. Bosnia at last pays the whole of
it's expenses triumph of good administra-
ton and the arrangements for re-establish-
ing the gold currency are nearly complete.
Austria therefore, is merely wasting its good

The Real Questions orFinance

A celebrated modern thinker. i'll an swer to a young man who asked for a list of books on political economy worth reading, advised him to read little and think much. Here are few of the knotty questions lying at the base of our present financial issue. which will sup ply ground for the exercise of ones intel lectual faculties:
 Is the apparent fall of silver real, or is it due in whole or in any part to :he ap- preciation of gold:
 Would the free coinage of silver arrest the decline in its value? Would free coinage establish silver as our single standard and drive gold out of circulation?
 What would be our disadvantages in making exchanges with the civilized world if we should abandon the gold standard?
 Has the fall of prices during the past 20 years been the result in any degree of the demonstration of silver
 Does dear money produce low prices?
 Does cheap money produce high prices?
 Is either silver or gold. or both. under any system of bimetallic coinage an in fallible measure of values:
 Why would coinage ratio deter mined by international agreement be more desirable than ratio established by one country alone:

How to Fry Pancakes.

The frying of pancakes is as important as the mixing. The fire needs 10 be as clear and as strong as for broiling beef steak and the griddle next to burning hot. when it will only take the slightest possible greasing to turn the cakes per fectly. Grease with slice of fat pork on a fork. with a handle 15 inches long, These cooks forks are sold with wooden handles, the model of miniature pitch fork, and they are wonderfully conven- tent, as they allow one to lift meat or grease griddle without bringing the face near the stove.
 Have two or three plates heating to put the cakes on-a cold plate makes a cake fall instantly-and send to table in relays as fast as they are fried.
 Delicate griddle cakes, like rice cakes or Adirondacks, are fried of small size, one large spoonful to each cake. Buck wheat pancakes are larger-the size of a tea saucer-and all cakes should be well browned-not golden brown, which does not allow heat enough to change the glu- ten into sugar and give the best flavor.

STOP THIS NONSENSE.

The deadlock over the selection of chairman of the democratic town com mittee is still on and the prospects are not encouraging. The rule or ruin policy seems to have the floor and it will require diplomacy on the part of the committee of conference appointed by the Democratic association to prevent clash between the opposing factions. It is an unfortunate state of affairs No great harm has been done yet, but un- less the members stop their nonsense and proceed to business pretty soon the republicans will have things their own way at the coming election.
 What is there about the chairmanship of the town committee that nearly every year a bitter feeling is engeudered before it is filled: There are no fees at tached to it and not much patronage to distribute. The principal concomitant is 8 superabundsnce of abuse if the ticket is not successful. And yet year after year friends become enemies and the democratic party loses votes because the members of the committee cannot agree upon & chairman. A lesson should be learned from our republican frien6s in this respect. Although in the mi nority they have succeeded in wrestling from the democrats the principal offices in the city and town because of the harmony in their ranks. There is no strife over the election of the chairman of the republican town committee. A good active man is proposed and his election is usually unanimous.
 Once again we would urge the demo- cratic committee to do its duty. A dozen men might be named who would satisfactorily fill the arduous position men, too, who have not been identified with any wing or faction of the party, who are democrats from principle Name one of them for chairman and let the campaign assignments be mace. The DEMOCRAT has no choice for the position; any good man will do.

The most singular situation presented itself recently in financial circles. Scar city of gold is one of the causes that pre- cipitated the hard times, said the ex- perts, yet here was paper money at a premium over gold. Overabundance of silver-its consequent depreciation-was another cause of the trouble. said the ex- ports. Yet the fact was presented in exchange markets that even silver was at slight premium over gold. The req son in both cases was the scarcity of pa per and silver. Gold could not be used for small change in business transac- tons,
