Domestic Protection.

One day in the Cumberland noun
tains, as 1 rode up the bench of hill,
I came to a house with genuine cy-
clone pit in the front yard. At first I
thought it might be springhouse or a
cellar, but little closer inspection only
confirmed the original conclusion. 1t
was cyclone pit and nothing else, but
what was it there for? The man of the
house was hoeing corn in the field ad-
joining, and 1 hailed him. by the
way" said to him after asking how
far it was to my destination and the
nearest way there, lis that a cyclone
pit there in the yard?"
He gave queer little nod of affirma-
tion.
'You don't have any cyclones up here
in the mountains, do you?" I asked i'll
evident astonishment.
''Well, no, mister, not perzackly.
''Then, if you please, I'd like to
know what the dickens you have the pit
for F"
He came over to the fence and put
his hand up to his mouth as a sort of a
speaking trumpet.
81 reckon you never see my wife,
mister he said and lodged back to
the row he was hoeing as if somebody
had thrown a skillet lid at him.-De

THE OLD COUNTRY CIRCUS.

How dear to my heart is the show of my chill
hood,
The old country circus my boyhood days
knew!
In these days of three rings, of hippodromes,
railroads,
How fond recollection presents thee to view!
For weeks, while the posters on fences and
church sheds
Portrayed to my young eyes the scenes that
should be,
No soft thrill Of love. no throb of ambition.
Has since equaled the bliss gained dream
ing of thee!
The old country circus, the shabby old circus,
The wand'ring old circus my boyhood days
How faithful worked in the ways that pre-
sented
To gain the few pennies my ticket should
buy!
No toll was SO sweetened-no reward so STU
No miser e'er cherished his hoard as did l.
How fair shone the sun on the glad day ap-
pointed
How rife with strange hustle the sleepy old
town!
And when DER the hill came the rumble of
The bound of my heart said, 1.-The circus has

Wonderful Fecundity of Flowers.

A single seed of the common sweet
pea of the Emily Henderson variety has
been known to produce stalk yielding
2,O00 flowers per month during the
Towering season, which generally lasts
from June Is to Oct 1. A record of the
flowers cut from a row of these peas 60
feet in length, plants or vines standing
at distanceof nine inches apart, shows
that the first flowers were plucked on
June II and the last ON Oct. 20. Even
though badly matted-which made close
cutting almost impossible and allowed
many thousand to go to seed-the 60
foot row exhibits the following remark
able record: Flowers removed during
June, 1000; July, II, 500; August,
$4,000; September, 6, 100; October Cup
to the evening of the 18th, $500;
total, 70, 400. As noted, large num-
ber went to seed, besides the buds that
were smothered out ON account of the
vines being SO badly matted There is
scarcely a doubt but that the row would
have yielded above 100, 900 flowers dur
ing the season had conditions been more
favorable. Louis Republic.

''She worked so hard, she did, ooh, ev-

''She has~worn herself out, F" said the
doctor. The climate counts for some
thing, and she has never considered it. -
Some time after midnight the child
was born---a dead child-and the doctor
went to Mrs. Gasparez's S house for lit
tie rest. Mrs. Gasparez sat nodding and
blinking and drinking strong tea, and
Ellen seemed to be sleeping.

The doctor met him and told him of his
wife's death, but he did not realize or
understand what had happened till he

tiously, but Port put him aside and
went into the bedroom. 1t smelt stuffy
and sickly after the fresh morning air,
and it was exceedingly untidy A white
sheet was thrown over the bed, and
Mrs. Gasparez, her eyelids puffy with
crying and want of sleep, came to meet
him.

hand on the brown hair, pushing aside
the scarlet flowers with which Mrs.

The Missouri Dwindling Away

The United States Engineering De-
partment has just completed a survey Of
the Upper Missouri river and as far
down as Atchison, Kansas In the
opinion of the engineers. the Missouri
river is dwindling away in Montana,
and will, in time, become in that Sec
ton a small stream They found that
the volume of water at Great Falls,
Montana, measured A, 796 cubic feet per
second, while at Fort Benton, twenty
FIVE miles down the river, the volume
was but 1881 cubic feet per second, a
decrease of 465 cubic feet. This they
claim explains the presence of the great
subterranean body Of water known as
the South Dakota Artesian Basin The
discrepancy is accounted for by an out
let in the bed of the river somewhere be-
tween the point mentioned The engi-
neers state that eyeless fish have no locali-
ty such as inhabit substerranean streams,
In 1878 similar observations as to the
volume of Eater were taken by the de-
partment, and since that tima there has
been decrease of fully twenty per cent
in the volume of water in the river.

The Governor did not nor has be yet
signed the free book bill, but shortly af-
ter its receipt last week he sent a COM
munication to the Senate, in which leg
islatise body the measure originated,
pointing out very clearly several defects
in it, and also calling attention to the
want of funds necessary to carry into eff
feet the law, and recommended auxiliary
legislation on the subject. if the Senate
was in earnest in its desire
to have such a law. The Senate
treated his recommendations and
his suggestions with more impotence
than good sense and instead of adopting
them, sent back lot of "sass" to his Ex-
cellency and adjourned without further
action. The measure, therefore, is now
before the Governor in its Objectionable
shape, and be must either sign it or
take the responsibility of its defeat -
Such treatment is not fair to say the
least of it, but the Governor has nothing
to lose by vetoing the measure

intended to advance personal popularity

The Amended Wilson Bill,

The new tariff bill has at last been re-
ported to the Senate 1t is quite differ
ent in detail from the Wilson bill as it
passed the House, bus the differences
are not of such a nature as to take away
the obnoxious, indush destroying fea-
lures of that measure.
The one feature Of the changes which
comes home to the greatest number Of
the American people is the imposition of
a duty upon sugar. Ever since the war
closed, the Democratic fauIt-6nders be-
slowed measureless abuse upon the Re-
publican party for taxing the necassa-
ries of life, especially 1.-The poor mans
breakfast table, aud sugar was thu one
item most insisted Opon. Well, the
Republican party passed the Mckinley
bill In 1890, and put sugar on the free
list. 1t provided abundant revenues.
yet lifted $5O,oOO,OOO a year off the
people III abolishing the sugar duty,
which is purely revenue duty. because
the American sugar product, being only
about Que tenth Of what we require,
could not act to reduce the price of for
eign product by competition.
The Wilson bill as it passed the House
left sugar on the free list, as it is in the
Mckinley law, thus admitting the SQUAD
ness of that statute in dealing with this
article But the Democrats of the Sen
ate have imposed duty Of l cent a
pound on raw sugar, and a progressive
ly higher duty on the liferent grades of
the refined product, Who will this
oenehH Certainly not the people. for if
1t Is enacted iato law all sugar will be |
cent per pound dearer, and the finer
grades proportIonaIly higher. 1t places
burden of at least $40, 600. 900 year
on the people Of the country. And it
benefits only the sugar trnst.
