The two best known men in the
world are Mr. Gladstone and the pope,
and both are standing the shock and
stress of age with wonderful yigor Mr.
Gladstone has just undergone an opera
ton for cataract with great bravery
and is reported TO be in good spirits,
and the pope on Monday was present at
the public consistory, received with
qualification the cheers Of a great crowd
and performed the duties of the occa-
sion with the alertness of a man IN
middle life. Both these old men show
the preserving power Of simple living
and continuous mental activity, and
both seem to have found out the secret
of carrying on a life Of labor without
the unreasonableness of overwork, which
results among Americans in premature
decay and death. There is something to
be learned from these two illustrious
examples Kansas City Star.

birds. There are several things about
pigeon breeding and flying that the aver

In the first place, the pigeons that fly
far and fast are not carrier pigeons at

do what was thought to be very salts
factory bit of flying both as to speed
and endurance, but that time was at
least half century ago.
The crack birds for flying today are
called homing pigeons and they can fly
as far in a day as the old carrier could
in two or three. Pigeons of the old car
rier breed are still raised and carefully
developed, but they are only bred for
show now. The true homing bird is, in
fact, a sort of mongrel, being composed
of many strains of pigeon blood, and &C
corfiingly there are many types, and no
single well defined characteristic beyond
the ability to fly and to find its birth
place as yet marks this pigeon. I say
cas- yeti because i'll the nature of things

some of the past feats of the feathered
races have been marvellous they are sure
to be eclipsed by those Of the future if
the present systematic breeding Of the
birds be continued.
The first birds shat can be considered
to belong to the present homing class

were a cross between barbs and the old
carriers The passion for flying pigeons
is now much more extensive than it
was then, and it is extending every
year. 1t is strongest IN Holland and
Belgium; is stronger IN some English
cities, particularly Manchester, than
any place in the United States, but is

One of the earliest, if not the first
duty man owes to himself. his family,

where he can enjoy the comforts of

to do. and oftimes unforeseen difficult

vent the attainment of this great object,
however much the individual may de-
sire and strive for it. But these are

nate a state ticket. There were 40 OF

the democrats of Kansas are in good
fighting trim. The dates of May 9TH,
June 26th and July 3rd were proposed,
a vote taken, which resulted: for June
26, II; for July 8, %. Topeka was
chosen as the place for holding the con-
vention. The western democrats were
in favor of Newton as the most central
place for the convention, and we would
like to have seen Newton favored.

THE Pittsburg Post, published in the
very hot bed of protectionism, says:
s"Put the Wilson tariff bill on the stat
ute books and we challenge with con-
fidence the verdict of the people as TO
whether it shall be repealed by the
Mckinley law. We are reasonably
sure of four years trial of the Wilson
law should it go into effect in June.
Before that time elapses we believe the
people will be more apt to demand a
further extension of the reform prin-
ciple in tariff legislation, just as they
did in 1857, rather than a return to the
regime of trusts, monopolies. bounties
and subsidies, and the taxation OF the
many for the beneht of the few, which
are the dominating ideas of the Nc.
Kinley law. Time travels with the
reformers and revolutions don't &C
backward. Temporary reverses should
nerve them to greater determination

His idea is to put in a pump large
enough to supply a pipe 20 or 40

all along the pipe; have the end at
the pump raised Sufficiently high to
give a continuous fall the whole length;
have the lower end on a wheel, and
the upper end on pivot. When

tanning about 123 square rods, or one

This would obviate the running OF

like rain, and distributed equally al

plan is worthy of study and further

pen of Henry Watierson: The c-y
of the poor goes up to God for work!
But there is no work: Why? Be-
cause there is now over production.
Why? Because we can produce in
nine months more than we can con-
sumo in twelve. The remedy? More
consumers; wider markets; freedom of
trade with all mankind. Let US out
of this black hole of protectionism,
where, with banks bursting with
money and miIlionaries multiplying
by hundreds, men are starving by
thousands. Let as out, to the world,
and, with plants established, processes
perfected and cheapened, trade marks
and patents carrying all the protection
that honesty ought to desire, and we
can meet and beat all our commercial
rivals England-in every natu.

that geographically belong to US, but
which have been stolen from US by ouI
senseless policy of restriction.
