they cannot possibly tunnel through or
60 around or climb over. In other
words they have encountered seeming
impossibilitv. Wilson has admitted the
improbability of the passage of his bill
burdened with an income tax feature,
and the income tax Democrats have ad-
mitted the impracticability of the bill
without an income tax feature, which
seems to be the only means of bridging
the mighty chasm which would be cut
in the resources of the nation by the
passage OF the tariff reform measure.
Both admissions are conceded by the
Republicans and thinking people of the
country to be correct, so natural in
quiry arises as to the course to be pur-
sued by the tariff reformers. who are
themselves doubtless enrolled among
the anxious inquirers.
The solid New jersey Democratic
delegation and large part OF the New
York delegation headed by Mr.. Cock
ran, who has also come to be regarded
as the Democratic leader in the house,
have openly proclaimed their hostility
to the income tax and have given notice
that they will vote against the tariff
bill having that feature as rider.
In the face of this pronounced and
dangerous opposition the Democratic
caucus bv a decisive majority. instead
81 reconciling the opposition, has in
vited it by recommending the obnoxious
income tax feature.

OECENNIAL PRIZE FIGHTS.


Thirty-six hours having elapsed since
the great prize fight the people of the
country having been assured that our
National honor is secure until some
time next June, it is proper to let bust
ness and politics lay some claim to
popular attention. The Hawaiian ques-
ton has been temporarily lost sight OF
and it is well to inquire if anything of
moment happened on the Islanda while
we had our backs turned and were alb
sorbed in the international prize fight.
The fact that we haye entirely trusted
the tariff question to gentlemen in con-
gress for the past four or five days
while we were apprehensive OF the Sc
curity of our National muscular honor,
is an evidence of our faith in the eff
cheney and integrity of our public GER
wants. Less scrupulous legislators
might have passed the Wilson bill and
had it in working order so that when
we returned to our senses after the bat
tie we would have have found that we
had escaped the calamity of National
disgrace only to be overwhelmed by
National misfortune. We have indeed
been lucky all around.
1t has been suggested that the term
OF the president of the United States be
extended from four to eight years for
the reason that the excitement that at
tends quadrennial elections is conducive
to a general neglect of business and
tends to disturb our prosperity and un-
settle things. What then must be the
effect OF heavyweight championship
fight upon the nation, for all will admit
that the latter is more absorbing and
demoralizing. Therefore we would rec
ommend in the interest of business that
championship prize fights be held, say,
only every ten years, and that the title
Of the champion shall not be called into
dispute within that period. This ar
rangement will not only increase our
financial, commercial and industrial
stability, but we will be less feverish
over a possible loss OF the champion
ship.

She Was Down on Boys.i

A little girl but four years old was OBJ
served to be very devout in church and
to be very eager not to miss attending
the services. What do you do, when
you are there, Rosie?" asked a lady
friend, 'you cannot read and you must
get very tired of such long services?"
The little one shook her head gravely.

COWBOY DULL In VENEZUELA.
They Loved a Little Indian Girl of the
OrinocO Plains.

They Loved Little Indian Girl of the
Orinoco Plains.
1 witnessed strange duel on one Of
President Crespo's big cattle ranches
in the interior of Venezuela. Two
vanqueros, or cowboys, were enamored
of the same dark-eyed little Indian
girl of the great Orinoco plains and
they decided to settle by duel with
the lasso which of them should take
her to wife. A dozen fellow vanqueros
assembled to witness the fray.
The lovers, says the Florida Times
Union, soon appeared mounted on
mettlesome mustangs, each with a
long, powerful lariat of tough cow
hide. They were both experts with
the lasso, and their horsemanship was
marvel They approached to within
forty and fifty yards of each other,
then began to maneuver for deciding
cast. After several feints the lariat of
the younger of the rivals, a handsome,
sun-bronzed fellow from Carabobo,
went whizzing through the air so
swiftly that the eye could scarcely fol-
low it. The other sank his spurs deep
into his mustang. The animal sprang
forward just in time to save his master
from the moose, and as he did so the
second lasso rose in the air and settled
around the shoulders of the man who
missed, pinning his arms to his sides as
in wise. He was jerked headlong out
of his saddle.
His successful rival drew him along
hand over hand, half lifting him from
the ground by the tenacious thong,
and put bullet square between his
eyes. He then turned and rode direct
ly to the camp where lived the cause
of this barbaric scene.
She mounted behind him and he
came galloping back swinging his
sombrero.

STATEHOOD NOTICE.

Owing to the fact that the act admitting
Arizona passed the house of representatives by
very large majority, and the further fact that
the senate is undoubtedly in favor of our early
admission, we concluded that it was unneces

This conclusion has been submitted to various
of the committees of the convention and they
have all coneurred therein.
We therefore announce that the meeting Of
the statehood convent On that was to have been
held on January II, 1894, is Indefinitely post

The sting of bee is composed of
two spears of polished horn held in a
sheath. One gets a notion of the
sharpness of the weapon by a very
simple comparison. The edge of a
very keen razor, when examined under
good microscope, appears as broad as
the back of thick knife, rough, I'M
even and full of notches. An exceed
ingly small and delicate needle SINH
larly scrutinized resembles a rough
bar from a smiths forge. The sting
of bee, viewed through the same in
strument, shows fawless polish,
without the least blemish or inequah-
ty, ending in point too fine to be dis
cerned. In the act of singing the
spears, each of which has nine barbs
and is grooved with a channel for the
passage of the poison, emerge from the
sheath. One of them is plunged into
the flesh of the victim, the other fol
lowing, and alternately they penetrate
deeper and deeper. The venom is
forced to the ends of the spears by
much the same process as that which
carries the poison from the tooth of a
snake when it bites. r..

THE most eloquent speakers are not

Fithian Of Illinois. There are men
who could hold an audience spellbound
with speech about a cockroach and at
the close of it the people would not
know whether the cockroach was an
animal, bird or piece of machinery.
/ saw an illustration of this one time in
q political meeting. One of the most
eloquent speakers in the country is EN-
erson Etheridge, and heard him deliver
a speech that swayed the hearers like
music at the hands of master. There
was nothing that he could not do with
the crowd while they were under his
control. His opponent had voice like
a big bass viol, halted and stammered,
but confined himself to homely Ian
guage and rather coarse ridicule.

THE WONDERS OF ATOMS.

Even the Smallest Speck Visible Contains
Millions of Particles.
There are but few persons outside Of
the ranks of the biological students that
have any idea of what is meant by the
expression IAN atom of matter" When
the microscope is applied to the exami-
patton of living tissue, whether that
tissue be of animal or vegetable life, it
is soon observed that all living things
are made up of minute bodies called
organisms. Experts in the various
branches of biological research will also
tell you that no essential difference can
be distinguished between those cells
which go to make up the sum total of
animal life and those which give the
vegetable its existence. These life cells,
although wonders within themselves,
are made up of minute particles called
"atoms," which are so small that they
must over remain invisible to the hu-
man eye. Some critical reader will say,
"If this last remark be true, how can
1t be proved that such infnitesimal par
ficles as your so called atoms exist?"
To this query the reply would be that it
Is only when an untold number of these
atoms unite themselves so as to form a
single body, like the grains in pop
corn ball, that they become at all visi-
BILE and then only by the best appliances
that optical science has been able to
furnish.
This being the case, it is not an exag-
geration to say that every little piece of
matter which we are able to see is built
up of millions upon millions of these
atoms which are so small that no mind
can comprehend their minuteness, even
when taken in aggregations Of thou
sands. There are, of course, many diff
ferent kinds of atoms, such as atoms of
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, ETC., each of
which is believed to have its own par
ticular size and weight. Then, too,
they probably differ in shape as we'll as
size. According to the specialists in
this line, they combine together by mu-
tual attraction, which is in some cases
called cohesion and in others chemical
affinity, according as the atoms are OF
the different elements. This being the
case it is easy to understand why myr-
lads of these atoms of all sizes and
shapes, fitted snugly one against the
other, combine together in varying de-
grees of intensity to build up structures
possessing all the various degrees of
stability and solidity. Some of the most
wonderful theories ever advanced on
the atomic theory are by Sir William
Thomson, the English scientist. In .one
of these articles he proves by three diff
ferent trains of arguments that an atom
cannot be greater than the one one hun
dred and fifty millionth of an inch nor
less than one-fve billionth of an inch.

Ages of Stone and of Bronze.

The transition from the stone age to
the bronze age can be read in the dis
closures of the lake dwellers of Switzer-
land. This wonderful people lived
through the stone age and for long ages
continued on until they Tapped over
into the bronze age. Some of their set
Elements disclose only stone implements,
while others of later date show the
bronze chisel, the bronze winged hatch
ct, the bronze knife, the hexagonal ham,
mer, the tanged knife of ornamental de-
sign, the socket knife and the bronze
sickle. They show also the bronze fish
hook, barbed and in exact similitude of
our present device. The ornamental
hatpin as now used, together with other
articles of utility and ornamentation,
is plentiful. The stone mold for cast
ing the copper or bronze hatchet is of
exceedingly ancient date, but probably
the use of sand was far more common,
and hence we have less traces of that
method

A Climbing Bullock.

At the great slaughter houses in the
Partisan suburb of La Villette there is
a granary from which the beasts await
ing execution are fed. The way to it is
up a substantial ladder staircase. One
of the bullQcks, having escaped from the
pens, climbed up this staircase before he
could be stopped. When his escape was
first discoyered, he was seen on the
stairs, slowly and laboriously making
his way upward. As soon as he reached
the granary two or three attendants fol-
lowed him and endeavored to get him
down, but all their efforts were unavail
ing. There was nothing to be done,
therefore, but to leave the beast there
to eat his fill and then see whether he
would be clever enough to return by the
way he went. Possibly some thought
of exhibiting him in public may have
crossed the minds of his guardians, but
if so they were doomed to disappoint
ment. The stupid animal, instead of
trusting to the staircase, got out of
window on the opposite side of the
building and put one foot on little
thin ladder standing against it. There
was a crash, the ladder broke in half
and the too adventurous bullock fell,
breaking all his legs, SO that he had to be
killed on the spot.-Paris Letter.

Sensitive Horses.

Harsh treatment, though it stop short
of inhicting physical pain, keeps nerv-
Gus horse in state of misery. On the
other hand, it is perfectly true, as be-
sotted but intelligent stable keeper once
observed to me, ga kind word for hoss
is as good sometimes as feed of oats"
A single blow may be enough to spoil
a racer. Daniel Lambert, founder of
the Lambert branch of the Morgan fam
lily, was thought as 3-year-old to be
the fastest trotting stallion of his day.
He was very handsome, stylish, intel
ligent horse, and also extremely sensi-
tive.
His driver, Dan Mace, though one of
the best reinsmen in America, once made
the mistake, through i'll temper or bad
judgment, of giving Daniel Lambert
severe cut with the whip, and that sin
gle blow put an end to his usefulness as a
trotter. He became wild and ungovern-
able in harness and remained so for the
rest of his life.
In dealing with horse more than with
most animals one ought to exercise pa
tience, care and above all the power of
sympathy, so as to know if possible the
real motive of his doing or refusing to
.do this or that. To acquire such knowl-
edge and to act upon it when required
is large part of the ethics of horse
keeping. Youth's Companion.

THE BALLOON IN BATTLE.
How 1t Is Managed and Information Tram
mitted and Received.

mitted and Received.
Balloon and wagon have formed juno
ton and are ready to start with the
troops. Away goes the wagon, with the
balloon hanging on to its tail, while the
attendant sappers on each side keep it
steady. The train moves along at good
round pace, easily keeping up with or
even passing the infantry, and makes for
the particular spot at which it has been
determined to commence balloon opera
tons, which is usually on the top Of
good high hill.
An ascent is an easy enough matter
and is soon accomplished. The balloon
is securely fixed to the end of the wire
rope, and the two men who are to ascend
take their places. At the word of COM
mand the men who have been holding
down the car let go, and up shoots the
balloon, unwinding the rope as it rises
and allowed sometimes to ascend to
height of 1000 feet. And suppose the
officer receives instructions TO move the
position of the balloon, is it necessary to
haul it down? Not bit of it. A man
is placed at the end of the wagon who
carefully guides the connecting rope so
that it cannot get entangled or run risk
Of being cut, and away goes the wagon,
sometimes at trot across fields and up
and down hill, until the balloon itself is
long distance away from its original
station. Next, suppose that it is neces-
sary to lower the balloon. Is it needful
to wind in all the wire rope that has been
paid out from the reels? No such thing.
The balloon is brought to earth in
much more expeditions manner.
A long, stout pole, in the middle Of
which is a pulley wheel, is laid across
the rope. Half a dozen men seize the
pole and run it along the rope, and their
weight soon brings the balloon down to
the ground. Passengers can then be ex-
changed, or any other operation can be
carried on, and then the men run the
pole back, and up shoots the balloon
again many hundreds of feet into the
air, without having been away from its
exalted position more than few minutes
But it is not necessary to lower the bal
loon in this or any other way whenever
it is required that messages should be
exchanged between those below and those
above. There are various contrivances
for doing this. Sometimes, for instance,
a wire is attached, through which mes
sages can be sent to a telephone. Another
plan is to send messages down the wire
cable. A little wire hook is fastened
around the cable, and the letter or pa
per, weighted with small sandbag, is
sent futtering down. The human voice,
it may also be added, can be heard both
from considerable height and depth, so
that verbal communication is not difficult
if there is no wind.-Good Words.
