AFOOT IN THE HARTZ.
Stories That Cluster Around the Historic
Mil, the Burgberg.

Stories That Cluster Around the Historic
MiII, the Burgberg.
Interest in Hartzburg centers not in
the town, but in a conical hill which
rises just behind it, the Burgberg. This
is spot with a history-the one-tine
sits of heather altar, afterward the
seat of empire and now picnic ground
and beer garden. On this height, now
overgrown with trees, says Outing,
the unfortunate Henry ". built him a
castle and cathedral, and from this
spot he started on that journey whose
first stage was Canossa, and last a
pauper's grave in land of strangers.
Here Henry the Lion dwelt while sub
jeet to Barbarossa, and within its walls
died the last emperor of the Saxon line.
Now there is little hotel on the sum-
NIT, round about chairs and tables for
tired and thirsty mortals, while over
near bit of the old castle wall, which,
by the way, looks suspiciously re-
stored, is shop stuffed with Phillis-
tine knick-knacks and mementos. On
the brow of the hill stands granite
monument, whereby hangs a tale.
Some admirers of Bismarck erected it
here in his honor in 1877, put medal
lion portrait of the great chancellor on
its one side and on its other chiseled
his boastful saying, made during de-
bate on the Catholic question: "We1l
not GO to Canossa." This monument
an insult in stone-was erected just
eight hundred years after the unfortu-
nate kaiser went there and begged the
pardon of the pope. Little did its
builders think that the boastful man
of iron would within a decade get far
toward CanOSSa himself

MODES OF MARRIAGE.
Strange Ceremonies Observed Among
Different NationaIitIes.


Different NationaIitIes.
10 eat maize pudding from the same
plate, or to eat in any way together, is
a widely distributed marriage cere-
mony- In Brazil, says the Washing
ton News, couple may be married by
drinking brandy together; in Japan,
by SO many cups of wine; in Russia and
Scandinavia it used to be one cup FOR
both. The joining of hands among ne
Romans and Hindoos is common to
many parts of the world. In Scotland
it is called ''hand fastening" and
couples live together after. To sit
together on a seat while receiving
friends, or TO have the hands of each
tied together with grass, o. to smear
with each others blood, or for the
woman to tie a cord of her own twist
ing around the naked waist of the
man, constitutes marriage in one part
or another.
In Australia woman carries fire TO
her lovers hut, and makes a fire for
him. In America she lays bundle of
rods at the door of his tent. A Loango
negress cooks two dishes for him in
his own hut. In Croatia the bride
groom boxes the brides ears, and in
Russia the father formerly struck his
daughter gently with new whip-for
the last time-and then gave the
weapon to her husband. Down to the
present it is a custom in Hungary for
the groom to give the bride lick after
the marriage ceremony, to make her
feel her subsection. Even with all
civilized people the servitude of the
bride is clearly indicated

The Best Plaster

Dampen a piece of flannel with
Chamberlain Pain Balm and bind il
on over the seat of pain. 1t is better
than any plaster. When the lungs are
sore such an application on the chest
and another on the back between the
shoulder blades will often prevent
pneumonia. There is nothing SO good
for lame back or a pain in the side.
A sore throat can nearly always be
cured in one night by applying a lan-
mel bandage dampened with Pain Balm.

CONGRESSIONAL,
Pops on Sugar Tax.

Senator PETER voted consistently all
the way against the sugar trust until it
came to referring the four free sugar,
coal, iron and barbed wire bills, to com
mittee instead of acting upon them. He
voted for their reference to the pigeon
hole
Senator Martin voted all the time for
the trusts.
In the house the republican members
voted for free sugar every time, and the
populist members voted for the sugar
trust. They will claim that they would
not have done SO had they not been
promised free sugar, coal, iron ore and
barbed wire right away. They will &C
tually tell the people of Kansas that
they would not have supported the SEN
ate bill had they not believed that they
would soon have sugar free. They have
voted to support the trust, and before
long the people who use sugar will
discover that something has happened
with that commodity, and they may
recall that the populist members of Kan
sas aided in bringing about the change.
1t is also suspected that the intelli-
gence of the people of Kansas will be
sufficient to show the failure of the
populist members buncombe claim be-
fore they get very far with their excuses
for supporting the sugar trust. 1t is
known that Senator PETER has been dis
gusted for some time over the way the
populist members have been acting on
the tariff question. He insisted that
they make sugar a feature and that
they try and retain the present arrange
ment in the schedule, being convinced
that sugar taxed by. populist votes would
injure his party.
How it is that they favored the trust
is not known. Some of these populist
members have explanations of how other
people support corporations and trusts,
and now the question is asked in the
hope of securing information, if it is pos
sible that the populist members of the
house have been handled by the
sugar trust in the same sort of way that
they claim trusts handle other people.
Possibly they can explain when they
got home. This question is a subject of
comment at Washington among people
who are familiar with the ways of legis-
lation, and know something of the rant
ing and mouthings of these populist
members about the influence of trusts
on legislation when they are making
their campaigns. Possibly they will be
able to tell the people when they get
home why they voted out of the pockets
of the people of Kansas over 100000
annually in sugar tax, and voted just as
other people did who are accused and
generally believed as being hirelings and
tools of the sugar trust, and who have
been denounced by these same populist
members as being tools of corporations,
trusts and combines.

REPUBLIcAN STATE PLATFORM.

The state republican convention at To
peka adopted this platform:
Reahirming the republican national platform
of 1892.
Resolved, First: The constant patriotism of
that the interests of its defenders. their widows
and orphans, will be literally cared for and we
denounce their cruel and deliberate betrayal by
the present democratic administration.
Second: We adhere to the republican doctrine
of protection. and believe that tariff laws should
protect the products of the farm as well as the
factory.
Third The American people favor bimetal-
ism and the republican party demands the use
of both gold and silver as standard money with
such restrictions and under such provisions. to
be determined by legislation, as viii secure the
maintenance of the parity of values of the two
metals, and that the purchasing and debt pay
ing power of the dollar whether of gold. silver
or paper, shall be at all times equal. The in
terests of the producers of the country its farm
ers and its working men, demand that the mlnts
be opened to the coinage of silver of the mines
of the United States and that congress should
enact law leyylng tax on lmportatlons OF
foreign silver sufficient to fully protect the pro-
ducts of our mines
Fourth: We favor national and state leglSla-
ton for the encouragement OF irrigation.
Fifth We denounce the present state admin
istration for its violation of the laws and con
potency of its officials, its gross Acknowledgement
of the state Institutions and for I'll dlscredIt II
has brought upon the good name of the state.
And we pledge the republican party and the
economical discharge of all official duties, to a
strict observance and an honest enforcement OF
law, and to obedience to the mandates of the
courts.
pies we invite the support of all patriotic citl-

of silver is just the opposite of what Ed.
Snow charges. AS sample, taken al
most at random, take the Congressional
Record, page 7,038, June &c, 1890,
where is Major E. n. Morrill's vote, cast
in favor of the following senate amend
ment to the Sherman bill, which is as
follows:
''That from and after the date of the
passage of this act. the unit of value in
United States shall be the dollar, and
the same may be coined of 4125 grains
of standard silver, or % $40 grains of
standard gold, and the said coins shall
be legal tender for all debts, public and
private. That hereafter any owner of
silver or gold bullion may deposit the
same at any mint of the United States
to be formed into standard dollars or
bars for his benefit and without charge;
but it shall be l9wful to refuse any de-
post of less v5-!ue than 800, or any bull
lion so base as to be unsuitable for the
operator of the mint? %
Now. instead of Major Morrill, being a
''goldbug," as charged by the opposi-
ton, he is squarely on record in favor
of free coinage Of silver, with all its le-
gal tender power.

dwellings Libel on Kansas
Girls.

Governor L. d. Lewelling, of Kansas,
said in speech a short time since, at
Kansas City, Kansas;
Ten thousand farmers made homeless
in Kansas every year, and ten shelter
less girls struggle in vain for any posi-
ton of employment that is made vacant
in your cities for one who is successful in
obtaining work What becomes of the
otheE nine? Those who Hallmark my
words-are driven to seek shelter with
her whose ways take hold on hell, and
lead to the chambers of DEATH
the Atchison Globe in commenting
upon this, expresses the settled sentiment
of every worthy citizen of Kansas; for
indignation amounting almost to uni
versal detestation of the author the lie
ing libeller is rampant throughout the
state. The Globe says:
Governor Lewelling says nine out of
every ten girls who seek employment
these hard times, are refused it, and be-
come fallen women. Though he is gov
ernor of Kansas, he should be taken by
the back of the neck and kicked out of
Office for uttering such shameless, dirty,
unnecessary lies. And the suffragists
who are standing up SO conspicuously
for the sex should make him apologize"

Greatly Temnted.

We hear a great deal about the
self repression of the Scotch who
are even shy Of showing their affec-
tion to one another, but that species
of moderation scarcely exists to-day
in New England. There was time
when the genuine Puritan felt
obliged to resist his impulse to
~gush," but his descendants have
long ago broken such iron bands.
One man, however, has proved his
descent from such stern ancestry.
He has been married about year,
and is deyotedly attached to his wife.
His life without her was hard and
solitary one, and in the sunshine she
brought him his nature has bios
somed out into good deeds and gen..
tie thought.
you are not as melancholy as you
used to be-, said an old acQuain lance
to him not long ago.
Melancholy / should say not!"
he returned, with emphasis. "How
could anybody be sad with such a
wife as I've got? Why, sometimes

It's as much as / can do to keep from

Meat for Young children.

Concerning the frequency with
which meat may properly be given to
children, says DR.. Flint, and regard
ing the time of day best suited TO its
administration opinions differ widely.
The writer believes, on the basis of
his own experience. that children
under five years do best with only
one meat meal per diem, this being
best given in the morning or at noon.
After five years, both the breakfast
and the midday meal may include
some meat An ideal dietetic sched-
ule. however, for most children.
would embrace eggs at breakfast
meat at noon and bread and milk at
night, appropriate cereals being sup
piled with the eggs and meat. All
meats for children should be carefully
cut into pieces, and children old
enough to cut their own meat should
be cautioned to make the pieces as
small as possible.

"Claim Everything"

This seems to be the reform motto in
Kansas as we'll as Alabama. The Tope-
ka Press the other day said:
Capt. W. H. Young, late of Company B,
First Regiment. Kansas National Guard, of
Kansas City, Kan, and sergeant of
the Douglass House, at Topeka, during the
legislative war in 1898, has deserted the re-
publican ranks and is now a disciple of pop
ulism. Capt. Young is an old soldier and
has always been a republican, and during
the Harrison administration he added an
extra III to his initials, but now he says
he is ''tired of the duplicity of party that
prays for bi-metallism in public, but votes
for mono metalllsm in congress" Recent
" he was ordained as a minister of the NJ.
Z. church, and has been preaching at the
town of Soldier, in jackson county, Kan.
The above clipping was shown to
Capt. W. Fl. Young at his home in Sol
der, jackson county, and he denounced
it as a fabrication out of the whole
cloth. Capt. Young states that he is a
republican and that no consideration
could induce him to vote for Lewelling,
whom he regards as the most corrupt
man who ever held Office in Kansas.
Capt. Young's head is stir level.

from the old soldiers at Hutchinson? 1t

STATE AFFAIRS
And Capital City News of State
Interest.
A Scientific Library.

A Scientific Library.
Capital
One of the state institutions that has
largely escaped notice, because it is not
political organization. is the Kansas
Academy of Science. This society has
been in existence in the state for twen-
ty-fve years, and has built up large
part OF the museum in the west wing
of the state house, consisting of the
animals, birds, fishes. reptiles, insects,
rocks, minerals, fossils and plants of
the state.
The magnificent Goss collection of
birds, the best collection of birds in
the west, and one of the best in the
United States, is the work of one of its
most active members. The splendid
work, ''Birds of Kansas" by Col. Goss,
published by G. w. Crane & Co., ranks
among the standard works on ornl-
thology, and is one of which the state
may be proud.
One of the recent additions to the
museum is collection of 1000 species
of plants of the state, botanically pre-
pared by B. B. Smyth. The museum
and various collections are always free
to the public.
The principal work of the Academy
during the past ten years has been the
building up of scientific library. This
is also in the west wing of the state
house and embraces now close to 1000
volumes, and is built up at the rate of
1000 volumes year.
This library is built up partly by
purchase, but is largely the work of
scientists and publications of scientific
societies, received by the academy in
exchange for its own publications. The
academy publishes the results of the
studies, Investigations and discoveries of
its members, and these are printed bien-
nially by the state in handsome vol
ume of transactions" These are ex-
changed for other scientific works.
The library is always open and is free
to the public. The hbraria n, Mr.
Smyth, will take pleasure in showing
books to visitors
