The gain from 1880 to 1860 was
126 per cent. from 1860 to 1870,
eighty-six per cent; from 1870 to
1880, forty-five per cent; from 1880
to 1890, forty-nine per cent. A still
better indication of the growth of
the country is in the increase of
wealth per capita. In 1860 it was
$514; in 1870, $3.50; in 1880, $50,
and in 1890, $1,O39. This is a re-
markable showing when the large
amount of increase in population de-
rived from the immigration of the
poorest people of Europe is consider
ed. 1t will be observed that the
largest percentage of gain in proper
ty per capita was in the war decade,
between 1860 to 1870. The war had
the effect of checking this immigra-
ton, and hence, in spite of the devas-
tation that ensued, the people grew
rich at a rate that has not been par
alleled since.

A school trustee in a little village
in New Jersey seeing the American
flag floating over the school house,
ordered it hauled down. The town
rose against him. His excuse was
that he thought it had been hoisted
in honor of Republican victories in
the town election. President Cleve-
land ought to send him as "para-

The death of Senator Colquitt of
Georgia is the third that has occurred
among the members of the upper
house of Congress since the election
in November, 1892. John E. Kenna
of West Virginia died January II,
1898, and Leland Stanford of Cali
fornia June 20, 1898. Mr.. Colquitt
had nearly completed his SEVENTEEN
year, and had been before the coun-
try as politician, soldier and states
man for forty years. Though zeal
GUS for the Confederate cause during
its continuance, he accepted patriot
ically the result of the war and has
since shown Loyalty his devotion to
the cold flag" His career as Coy
ernor of Georgia for six years and as
United States Senator for eleven
years has won for him the respect of
the country. The term for which he
was last elected will expire March 3,
1895.

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Tha house did
not complete the cOnsid Grafton of the
sundry civil appropriation bill yesterday,
but Chairman Sayers, by the exercise of
mastery diplomacy, succec lei in effect

a final vote before adjournment today.
There was no important business
transacted in the senate. the day beiag
consumed in the consideration of bills on

ares of small importance.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-The sundry
Livil appropriation bill was passed by the
house without division. The bill as
passed carries $4,000 more than it did as
reported from the committee on appropria-
tions. The four appropriation bills passed
by the house District of Columbia pen
sion, fertilization and sundry civiD carry
a net reduction of sol 33i, 95S, as compared
with the same bills for the current fiscal
year.
The tariff bill was fairly launched OF
its way to the senate. Mr.. Voorhees, re.
ported it to the senate and gave notice
that on April he would move to take it
up for consideration. The rest of the
day was taken up by Senator George in
discussion of the legal aspects of the
Hawaiian question, defending the action
of the president. There was but little in
terest manifested in the proceedings.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The shadow
of death hanging over the senate was re.
ferred to in the chaplain prayer when ha
prayed for the recovery of Senator Col
quit of Georgia. The days proceedings
were very tame and uninteresting, being
confined chiefly to the passage of unim-

THE vERMIFoRM APPENDIX.

The vermiform appendix is a part
of the human anatomy that some
times is a sourc Ofgreat trouble, and
so far as known, no earthly use. 1t
is simply a sort of closed sack that
branches from the large intestine at
its origin. a grape seed, or other
hard, rough, indigestible substance
lodging in this appendix often causes
Inflammation and suppuratlon tor
which there is no remedy but the des-
perate one Of laying open the abdo-
men of the patient and removing the
foreign substance. The operation is
a dangerous one, and the patient
often dies from the shock. But a
real case of appendicitis can be re-
lieved in no other way, and if the
operation is not performed the pa
tient necessarily dies of blood poi
soning. Surgeons are sometimes
blamed for performing operations
that are desperate and result in a
large percentage of deaths. But
there are many operations like this
for appendicitis, which a good surgeon
knows to be dangerous, and yet
without which the sufferer is certain
to die. Until a few years ago a
person with appendicitis was a hope
less case but recent progress IN alb
dominal surgery makes reliefpossible.
The origin of the vermiform appendix
has never been satisfactorily account
ed for by ANTAGONISTS. 1t is suppos-
ed to be a rudimentary or atrophled
organ, which at some long past
stage of development in the human
organism performed the functions OF
the colCn.-GSt. Louis Republic.

THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE HOLY
SCRIPTURES.

The Church Of the Holy Sepulchre
COMPRISES within its walls the site OF
Calvary as we'll as the tomb of Il
Saviour, as they are only about sixty
feet distant from each other. The
identity Of those holy spots has OF
late been assailed from various quar-
tiers, but the very fact that every op-
ponent of the traditional site has
fixed his imaginary sanctuary on
a different spot is enough to
prove the emptiness of their asser-
tions. Oriental and occidental tradl-
ton has always pointed to the one
spot venerated by them all. 1t IS
not my purpose, however, to enter
upon d discussion regarding the au-
thenticity OF the Holy Shrine, which
is proven by an uninterrupted chain
of witnesses which has never lost a
link from the death of Christ to
Hadrian, from Hadrian to st. Hele-
ma, from St. Helena to the Crusaders,
and from their day until the present
time. Believers in the Skull Hill and
other new Calvarys and Holy Sepul-
chres are modest enough to suppose
that the Christians and scientists OF
1900 years were blind and mlsguld-
ed until these new theorists appear
ed. But excepting a few curiosity
seekers, nobody visits these new sites
of Calvary and the Holy Sepulchre,
and tomorrow we may hear of some
other ones made to order to suit the
latest ideas of some seeker of novelty
and fame. The Church of the Holy
Sepulchre is situated at present with
in the walls of the city, in the north
western part of Jerusalem. This
fact is the chief stumbling-block OF
the opponents of the traditional
sanctuary, as Scripture tells US that
the Saviour was crucifed without
the gate. The place Of the crucifx-
ion, however, was added to Jerusa-
lem about the year A. D. Al by Her
cd, and was surrounded by a wall
| Recent excavations made by the Rus
slams have brought to light founda'
tons of the second wall, thus estab'
fishing the fact that the actual Bias
ilica of the Holy Sepulchre lay with
out the walls, although near to them

THE AGE OF STEEL IS HERE.

Nails are now sold in the Pitts
burg field for % cents a keg
less than in the English markets.
A remarkable development in the
manufacture OF steel is in rapid
progress. Iron mills are being
changed to steel mills, and this is
especially true in the tube and sheet
metal industries. The Carnegie
Company does not use a pound of
iron. 1t is estimated that the pro-
portion in production of steel to
iron is in the ratio of three to one
This is entirely due to the unpre-
cedentedly low price of steel. Some
manufacturers who have tenacious
lg chung to iron are being forced by
the sharp competition of others to
dismantle their pudding furnaces
and use steel.-[Pittsburg Dispatch.

ONIONS AND

\ writer in an exchange said that
he had often found blood oranges to
have a strong flavor of onions. At
last he determined to make inquiry
in regard to this Of a well-posted
fruit dealer, and he learned that in
Spain onions are often grown as a
crop among the orange trees. They
are stored in the warehouses togeth-
er before being shipped, and some
times before boxing. They come over
together in the hold Of the same YES
sci, and there they are stored togeth-
er u It'll sold. In this way they have
ample opportunity to absorb the
flavor, w ich he says he never has
detected in any but the blood orange.

HANDY WITH THEIR FEET.

In the natives quarters of the
town Of India the strange spectacle
NAV be seen of a butcher Selling a
piece Of meat in his hand, cutting 1t
in two with a stroke of his knife held
between the first and second toes of
his foot. The shoemaker uses no
last, but turns the unfinished shoe
with his foot, while his hands are
busy in shaping it. So the carpenter
holds with his great toe the board he
is cutting and the WOOdturner handle
his tools as we'll with his toes Is with
his fingers.
This use of the feet to assist the
hands in labor is not, however, the
mere result of practice, but is prin-
cipallv due to the fact that the Hin
doc foot is quite different from ours
in its anatomical conformation. The
ankle of the Hindoo and the a~rticula-
ton of the back of the foot permit
considerable lateral motion. hen
the toes possess a surprising mobili-
tv. The great toe car be moved
freely in all directions, and the first
and second toes are separated by a
wide space, sometimes as much as
hVe-eightnS OF an HIGH dcIoSS al TIC
base of the toes and two inches at
their extremities.
The articulation Of the hip is also
peculiar, and this renders it easier to
use the toes in handling the objects
bv enabling the Hindoo to sit IN a
squatting posture much o COM
fortablv than we can do. A similar
formation of the feet and toes is found
among the Annamose. but it is not,
as might be supposed, a common
thing among barbarous and savage
tribes. One naturally thinks OF the
resemblance TO a monkey which a
human being using both feet and
hands in the manne described must
present, and yet NJ. Regnault is care
full to point out the fact that the
Hindoo foot is lot at alllike the foot

VERMONT DEMOCRATIC POST
MASTERS.

We regret to notice that the Hon.
Wilson Shannon Bissell's precepts to
the postmasters are not heeded.
At the cost of much labor Of COM
position to himself and printing to
the government, the postmaster
general issued, only the other day, a
circular warning postmasters, es-
pecially of the hrst, second, and third
degrees, to beware of politics and to
fee conventions. He tried to recall
the minds of his erring s~ubOrdlnates
TO the sublime principles announced

proclamation IN restraint OF Othce-
holders: The influence Of federal
oficeholders," said the proclama-
ton. should not be felt IN the mani
pulation of political primary meet
ings and nominating conventions.
The use BY these officials OF their
positions to compass their selection
as DELEGATES TO political conventions
is indecent and unfair; and proper
regard for the prophecies and re-
quirements OF official place Will also
prevent their assuming the active
conduct of political campaigns.
This declaration 10 OlhNSLiOH

WHY is Mr.. Bissell thus publicly
scorned? Why is the ordinance OF
Mr.. Cleveland thus made naught OF
by the democratic oficehOlders OF
Vermont? Aren't there enough
democrats to make a convention IN
Vermont without calling IN the

mont ofhceholders assume that since
Mr.. Cleveland was renOninated
by federal oficeholders in 1888, his
rule against the political activity OF

that quite a number Of postmasters

This, of course, is a clear violation OF
Postmaster-General Bissell's order
to the postmasters to attend to
their business and let politics alone.
Still, it is possible that the Vermont
postnasters will be able to plead
certain extenuating circumstances.
In many of the Vermont towns
democrats are scarce, frequently not
exceeding in number a solitary one,
and he is the postmaster. Unless he
can go as a delegate to the demo
cratic conventions, his town has to
be left out in the cold. Postmaster
General Bissell should be easy with
