Two Ways of Seeing a Picture.

An artist had sold a picture for an
exorbitant price, and the purchaser sued
to recover. The barrister for the pur-
chaser was making the artist uncomfor-
table by his questions.
"NoT, sir" he said in that pleasant,
ingratiaiiOg manner of lawyers with a
witness, do YOU think anybody could
see beauty in that picture ?"
~Some persons certainly could" re-
piled the artist.
"You think the initiated in technical
matters might have no difficulty in IN
derstAnding your work.
Il am sure they would not"
"DO you think you could make me
see any beauty in that picture ?" this
most superciliOusly.
Probably not now, sir" and the ar
tist was most humble, "bUt once could
have done so easily"
"Now, sir, how is that? / don't un-
derstand. Explain, if you please"
That is quite easy, sir. l could have
done it simply by employing you as my
counsel in this case."-LOndOn IT, Bits.

In every campaign Massachusetts
produces refreshing men and
measures and documents. Now
the Republicans of that State have
put forth platform that is a per-
feet model of form and expression.
1t has been published from one end
of the country to the other. This is
all of it:
The principles of the Republicans
OF Massachusetts are as well known as
the Commonwealth itself; well known
as the Republic; well known as liber-
ty; well known as justice. Chief
among them are:
An equal share in government for
every citizen.
Best possible wages for every work
man.
The American market for American
labor.
Every dollar paid by the Govern
ment, both the gold ana silver dollars
representatives, honest and unchang-
ing in value and equal to every other.
Better immigration laws.
Better naturalization laws.
No tramp, anarchist, criminal or
pauper to- be let in, so that citizen
ship shall not be stained or polluted.
Sympathy with liberty and repub-
Ican government at home and
abroad.
Amaricanism eyarvwhera
The flag never lowered or dishon-
ored.
No surrender in Samoa.
No barbarous queen beheading men
in Hawaii.
No lynching.
No punishment without trial
Faith kept with the pensioner.
No deserving old soldier in the poor
house.
The suspension OF dram drinking
and dram selling.
n school at the public charge open
to all the children, and free from par
tisan or sectarian control.
No distinction of birth or religious
creed in the rights of American citi-
Zenship.
Devotion paramount and supreme
to the country and to the flag.
Clean politics.
Pure administration.
No lobby.
Reform of old abuses.
Leadership along Hottest paths.
Minds ever open to the sunlight and |
the morning; ever open to new truth |
and new duty, as the new years bring
their lessons.

have made with that platform as

For some time we have been
trying TO get hold of a GOOD
LAWN MOWER, one that
would do all the work of high
priced machines, and yet sell
for about ONE HALF THE MONEY.
We have succeeded in finding
just such a LAWN MOWER
and do not hesitate to re-
commend them to you. If
you want a Lawn Mower these
will please you in every res
pect and cost you as we say
about one-halt the usual price.
Besides our regular line of
3 and 4ply HOSE we have the
WATERBURY SPHINCTER
GRIP GALVANIZED SPRING
STEEL ARMORED HOSE,
which is the best of the kind
in this market. Those who have
used the common iron-bound
hose will appreciate the WAT
ERBURY STEEL ARMORED
HOSE; it last longer and
is in every way better.
The CACTUS LAWN

made to never wear out; it is
simple and inexpensive, while
it does the work of any other

tra-t with Japanese Conditions.

| VI O1lANAoA SO1i u
ton in the far East have been COM
ing out since communication was
established. With attention now
riveted upon the Asiatic war, all
sorts of facts and reports are re-
ceived. Some of these relate to
fragrant abuse Of power and dis
honesty on the part of Government
officials. Some of the Chinese here
have declared that their country
was being sold out by traitors.
Nearly all agree that the greed of
men in official positions has greatly
crippled China. The following on
the subject is dispatch from Vic
toria, B. c.:
Among the passengers on the EN-
press OF Japan was Major Richter,
late of the Chinese army, who threw
up his post of inspector.general at
Tien-tsin in disgust. He was formerly
in the German army, and was COM
missioned by Ii Hung Chang couple
OF years ago to inspect all the troops
of the regular militia and report on
them and suggest reforms and i'm
provements. He entered heartily on
the work, but soon found it impossible
to accomplish it.
He found corruption and fraud ram
pant, even his reports to Lii Hung
Chang being garbled and cut before
they reached him, and he could ac-
complish nothing. The war with
Japan was never expected, and when
1T came the Chinese were in a state of
decentralization, poorly armed, poorly
drilled and generally disorganiZed.
Large sums of money had been ex-
pended to increase the efficiency of the
army, but they had found their way
into the pockets of greedy, avaricious
officials.
After leaving China, Richter spent
a short time in Japan and had a long
with high Japanese Off
Gals at Hiroshima. When taxed with
having given away valuable informa-
ton, Richter laughed at the idea, for |
he said he could gain no information |
from them he could give to the Jap |
anese. The japanese had been pre- |
pairing for war for several years. They |
had complete surveys of every port, |
the result of large amount of open |
and also secret work by spies. Major |
Richter said they had excellent intor-
nation as to the defenses of Tien-tsin. |

Age of the World.

Over 2 900 years ago the Greek schools
treated the world as Of indefinite antiqui-
ty, and they speak of traditions $1,000 or
IA 900 years before their time as facts not
questionable from their antiquity. Buck
land, from geological conclusions, says it
Is millions Of years since the world was
created, and the only question is, How
many million years? Different views have
been entertained as. to the earth 8 forma-
ton, one being that it has cooled down
from fluid to solid mass. Sir William
Thomson investigated the question of the
cooling of the earth and regards the in.
crease of temperature from the surface
downward as proof of the constant loss
of heat from the globe, the heat radiating
into space without sensibly elevating the
temperature of the upper crust through
which it passes. The continuance of such
a loss of heat involves belief in the occur
renee of period at which the earth was
fluid mass, and the same scientist has fix
ed that period at not less than 10000
900 nor more than 100000, 900 years ago,
the probability being that $1,000, 600 of
years is the limit of geological history,
and that prior to that time the earth's sur
face was unfit for the maintenance of ami
NAL or vegetable life. Our knowledge is
not sufficient to fix the period when the
earth became habitable or when it shall
cease to be so. The organic world does
not furnish any guide to the solution of
the problem, and therefore it is only a
speculative question SO far. Hugh Mil
Ter says: GAS certainly as the sun is the
center of our system must our earth have
revolved around it for millions of years.
The earth is of an antiquity intellectually
vast. The 5000 years of human history
form but a portion of the geological day
which is passing over us. They do not eX-
tend into the yesterday of our globe, far
less touch the myriads Of ages spread out
beyond. "-Brooklyn Eagle.

Tho IngoldsbY Legends.

Barham is not much less good in prose
than in verse, and he manages his alter
nations of grave and gay in verse itself
with a skill almost equal to though less
delicate than that of Praed, who probably
gave him some lessons. His beautiful last
lines "As Lay A-thinking" do not re-
quire the not very authentic antiquity of
their spelling to give them charm.
He had scholarship, which, when it does
not prevent man from writing, is sell
dom without effect on the quality of what
he writes. He had the wide, vague reading
which scholarship nowadays too often eX-
cludes. He had good humor, good feeling,
good breeding, an immense amount of
fun and an ineXhaustible fund of rhymes
and rhythms just suited for his purpose.
