THE tariff bill was delivered to the President at 1;15 p. m. on the 10th instant, and became a law by virtue of the expira- tion of the ten days' limit at midnight of the 27th. But the time from the 18th at noon to the 27th at midnight makes twelve and one-half days. Why then is it com puted at ten days? In this way: In com putation of time the law does not include Sundays. There were two Sundays from the 18th to the 27th. These subtracted leave ten days and fraction. In comput- ing time by days the law does not regard the fraction of a day. The twelve hours of the 18th from the hour Cleveland re. ceived the bill until midnight were not counted. Therefore the full ten days run to midnight of the 27th.

GoRMAN, Brice, Smith and Murphy were we'll l-known protectionists when elected to the Senate. Yet people are surprised at their voting for the protective features of the tariff bill. Why did their constituents send them to the Senate if they wanted tariff reform? Did they expect the leopard to change his spots? Whoever heard of a protectionist changing to free trader outside of Birmingham?

NEW COLLECTING CRAZE.
A Malpeao Who Has Secured Historica
 Ruttons by the RusheI.

A Maipeac Who Has Secured Historical
 Buttons by the BusheL
 People get curious fads, says a writer in the Pittsburgh Dispatch. l met man from Maine, who had travelled all over the world, He had not made a collection of spoons, stamps, auto graphs, photographs, nor any of the things that are usually collected by travellers. He had digressed from the beaten paths and started new fad, which seems as sensible as at least the postage-stamp craze. He has collec- tion of buttons, hundreds of them, of all sorts, shapes and designs, buttons from police, ffremen, consta abulary and soldiery of all countries, cities and towns, as we'll as buttons from the clothes of famous men. Each but ton had history and long one, too, as told by the Yankee, so I did not wait to hear much about them But he had taken the button, surely,
 It may not be long until the button cranks may become prevalent, and the great men of the land will not be bothered any more by requests for autographs, but it will be: Will you kindly send me button from one of your suitsq" The prospect of the statesmen of these great United States having to resort to hooks and eyes in self-defense after having been deprived of all their buttons to appease the de- mands of this coming army of eranks may cause some little joy in the hearts of those who have been wearily watch ing triumphant tomfoolery in con- gress. The predieaments which this new craze might cause are endless. We might imagine an overobliging celebrity being forced to keep to his room by thoughtlessly gratifying those who fiattered his vanity by the asking, No matter how the craze may affect the victims. it is sure to boom the button industry.

 A beautiful sight that in summer greets the eye in the southwest from Texas to California is the broad fields of that exuberant forage plant, the alfalfa or Mexican clover, with it's pink blossoms, brightening the ex- panses of densely growing dark-greep leaves and stalks. The growth of this plant is astonishingly rapid and field will yield several crops in season. Its roots go far down in search of mois- ture, sometimes to depth of eighteen or twenty feet. The alfalfa is nutri- tious and palatable to stock, and horses, cattle, sheep and hogs eat it and fatten upon it,
 The large land and live stock invest ment companies which are now operat- ing in New Mexico and Arizona. have as an essential part of their schemes of utilizing the desert wastes the growing of large tracts of alfalfa with which to feed their range cattle and other stock. At one ranch alone, the La Cueva ranch, in Mora county, Mex ico, one thousand head of range cattle are now being fed and fattened for market on alfalfa. The Mexican clover Is grown by aid of moderate and the lands laid down to tt tend to improve in fertility.

How tho Great Inventor Brought Science
 to Bear on Noxious Insects.
 While in the Western Union office in Boston Edison, like great many others on the night force, was both cred, says J. N. Taylor in Donahoe's Magazine, by the vast army of cock reaches that each night formed hol- low square with the operators lunch boxes on the inside. The lunches were. kept on an unused table, and promptly at half past six o'clock each night, or mayhap earlier, the cockroach legious would march upon the old table, as- eend the four legs that upheld it. and and gorge themselves on sandwiches, apple pie and other eatables One night while Edison was waiting for Washington to start the newspaper specials he conceived plan to anni- hilate the whole coclsroach hoard.
 He said nothing, but when he re- ported for duty the next night he was supplied with a quantity of tin foil and four or five yards of fine wire. Un- rolling the tin foil and cutting two mar row ribbons from the long sheet he stretched them around the table, talk ing care to keep them as near together as possible without touching, and fas- tening them into position with some very small taeks. Then he connected the ribbons of foil with two heavy batteries and awaited the result.
 Chief operators and all were interest ed, and little work was done till the advance guard of the coclsroach army put i'll an appearance. Now, to com plete the circuit and set this unique little engine of death in operation 1t needed but single eoekroach to cross the dead line. One big fellow came up the post at the southeast corner of the room and stopped for a moment Then he brushed his nose with his forelegs and started. He reached the first ribbon in safety, but as soon as his fore ereepers struck the opposite or parallel ribbon over he went as dead as free message. From that time till after lunch the check boys were kept busy brushing the dead insects to the floor. At midnight the cordon of de- funct bugs around the table looked like square made of an old rope.

WE hope every Democrat in the South and West willdiligently study the defense and justification ad- dressed to his constituents by Rep resentative Clifton R. Breckinridge. of Arkansas, in reply to their stric- lures upon his course in respect to the repeal of the Sherman act. In particular we hope the Democrats Of MT Breckinridges district will weigh we'll his statesmanlike words. His plea is perfectly frank and can did, but it is much more than that. It is an appeal for Democratic unity, plainly dictated by the loftiest sen timents of loyalty to the party, and the appeal is supported by an un- swerable array of facts, not new, but so lucidly and skillfully pre- sented that they ought to enliehten the Arkansas Democrats like reva- lation. The vital questions stated by Mir. Breckinridge, Who are Democrats, who are Populists, who are wise, who are mistaken?' must be answered by the Democrats in all the states this fall, and in major. ity of them answered rightly, or the November election day will be day of calamities.
