A strange mix of mankind took place at the worlds labor congress i'll Chica- go. There was Miss Grace Dodge of the New York bluebloods. There Was sock less Jerry Simpson of Kansas There, too, was Dr. Zacher of Berlin, learned German professor, while here and there were scattered Carroll Wright, United States labor commissioner; Henry George, Felix Adler, Tom Mann, the London labor agitator; Victor Delahaye of Paris; Walter Besant, the novelist; Anne L. Diggs, one of the Kansas farm ers' torchbearers; the Catholic Archbish- op Ireland of St. Paul and finally the pres ident of the Tuskegee Industrial institute for black pupils at Tuskegee, Ala, Book CT T. Washington. Mir. Washington has the reputation of being the ahlcst col ored man in the south. Probably there were at once more brains and moro crankism there represented together than at any other one of the worlds Chicago congresses.

The floor cushion is an eastern institu- ton that every woman with waxed floors and rugs wants to import. To make them. take two large squares of burlaps, and ill the center of one of these squares sew securely an upholsterer's spring with twine and an upholstering needle. In addition to this. sew four springs that are a little smaller than the one already used, one Hear each corner. about l2 inches from the one in the center. Then pack curled hair around these springs until they are covered and lay on the extra piece of burlap and sew the edges together Over the upper side place a thin layer of wool and cover the whole with strong uuhleaChed muslin. The cushion k then ready for its outer cover ing of oriental stufTS.

\ Week of Terror.

Two fearful railroad accidents-one on Long Island. the other in MaSsachu- setts-a labor riot iI- Chicago and two of the most frightful cyclones ever known along the Atlantic coast will long keep i'll memory the close of the summer of 1893. Perhaps the sun spots had some thing to do with causing the storms who knows? We only know that mans science counts for nothing when nature unchains her tremendous forces even for a few moments. Tho sage Is as ignorant and helpless as the savage.
 The atmosphere of the week of di>ast er hung dense and murky along the At lantic coast states for days before each of the great storms. as if heavy with coming doom. When the West India cyclones came, they struck the south eastern states with appalling fury, cs- pecially the second one. Charleston and the South Carolina coast got it the worst. Charleston has indeed been stricken A destructive storm in 1885, the earth quake in 1886, and now cyclone, which has annihilatcd millions of dollars worth of property, have one atjrr another wrecked her. Sixty Pr cent of the rice crop for 1893 is gone anu third of the rich sea island cotton crop. How many were drowned, most of them hapless negro laborers and tE.,r families. will probably never be definitely asccrtained, as they were scattered through the is lands along the coast. But the number will not fall far if any short of 1O0.

WHILE all who have seen the Worlds fair or have heard of its glories, of which it's architectural exhibit constitutes TO inconsiderable feature, will regret to hear that the splendid buildings are to be sold as junk, there is really little room for sentiment in the matter. IT e structures were erected for temporary purposes only, and would soon be shorn of theIr sightliness by the pitiless Chi cago climate. A sufficient number of the smaller and more substantial bulld- ings, however, will doubtless be per mitted to remain to serve as lasting memorials of the exposition.

THE summer of 1898 being a thing of the past, people are now looking for ward to long fall to be followed by winter which to many is a dreary sea son. With the thoughts of cooler weather come plans for meeting the conditions of a lower temperature. People begin to think of warmer cloth ing and wonder what they will need
 Of course a great many have some on hand from last season, but great many more must buy now. Merchants look forward through the summer months to this season for an increase in business and lay in stock to meet the demands of increased trade. Having a large quantity of stock on hand the dealer of course wants people to know it and Fe accordingly advertises. The success he meets depends on the judgment he ex- ercises and if his judgment is good he uses the daily papers extensively. The DEMOCRAT reaches t, ,000 readers daily.

GOVERNOR MCKINLEY is to go on the stump in Ohio next week. Will he be able to explain his memorable speech of 1890, when he informed his hearers that the Sherman act was the best silver law that was ever put npon the statute books and ridiculed those who predicted tinan- cial disaster on account of its provisions? It was a great speech, but it is likely to prove something of a boomerang this fall.

Another American Poet.

A small volume of poems, called "The Flaming Meteor" recently published, stamps its author. Will Hubbard -Ker- has likened him to Edgar Allan Poe, whom perhaps he most resembles in the type of his poetic inspiration and some what in character as well. MT. Kernan's book Is fitly named, for it is all fire and flame and passion. Some of the strange themes that inspire his muse are classi- fled under headings like the following: Poems of PesSimism," Melodies of Misogamy." ""Poems of Passing Moods" and "Agnostic Arguments" From these headings can be gathered the thoughts that occupy the poets mind. He is not q hater of women apparently, but he seems to have somehow an unquenchable spite against matrimony. He blames it with bringing untold evils upon the world. He writes:
 The King Curse of curses that walk through
 the world
 Is wedlock.
 In this collection we find Kenneth, My King" an exquisite piece of verse that drifted through the newspapers several years ago. A poem of weird, terrible intensity is entitled Tn the Jungle" IL begins:
 Tiger. tiger. in thy lair.
 Thou hast torn his limbs apart;
 Oh. the white bones lying therel
 Oh. the red half eaten heartl
 Oh, the yellow locks beside thee
 That often kissed and curled-
 Yet no hell fire will betide thee In the waste beyond the world. In some of his verses MT. Herman shows power and fire not excelled by any living poet who writes in the Eng fish language on either side of the water, and as time goes on this will become more and more manifest to the public A passionate love of liberty, mournfu1 consciousness that things are out of joint both with the world and himself, are the motive of many of the poems, but at times the writer bursts into a grand | swinging march of music that fills all the air and inspires the soul. Some of | tho poems of this sort would make ad- mirable elocutionary recitations. Such a rhythmic melody is Progress of the Peoples" from which we extract few stanZaS:
 Upward, upward press the peoples to that pure, exalted plane Where no throne shall cast a shadow and DC slave shall wear a chain. | They have trampled on the fagots, on the cru I Cifix and wheel,
 Banishcd block and thong and hemlock and the headsman's bloody steel They are lighting lamps of freedom on a mil. | lion altar stones | With the torches they have kindled at the | blaze of burning thrones. \ And this light will sweep and circle to the very | ends of earth. \ Touching with immortal beauty every hear and every hearth.
