 Probably the New York chemist is not an ass, but he is certainly very careless of his reputation as scientist to let his name go out attached to the above widely quoted paragraph, which we have seen accredited to speakers at various w. c. T. U. gatherings. Such weak assertions impair the value of sensible utterances found in their company. Very few who read this have not drank freely of home made beer prepared from extracts. A few teaspoonfuls of these are dissipated through gallons of water. If there is al- cohol in the extract it is there at the mo- ment of mixing. Any change occurring later must be chargeable to the yeast used We have drank the beer freely at all ages when palatable, and have never noted any cXhilaraton that might not have come as well from glass of ice wa | ter.
 | In old times it seemed to be thought that a medicine must be nauseating to be effective. Now all this is changed. Ayers Sarsaparilla, one of tho most powerful al- tcratives, is agreeable to most palates, the flavor being by no means medicinal.

LAND YOU'LL REMEMBER ME-"

One evening as the sun went down Among the golden hills, And silent shadows, soft and brown, Crept over wales and rills, watched the dusky bats a-wing Dip down the dusky lea, Hearkening, heard Q maiden sing, And you'll remember me-" "When other lips and other hearts, Came drifting through the trees. ''In language whose excess inparts" Was borne upon the breeze. An, love is sweet, and hope is strong, And life's a summer sea! A woman's soul is in her song, And you'll remember me-" Still ripping from the throbbing throat With joy akin to pain, There seemed a tear in every note, A sob in every strain. Soft as the twilight shadows creep Across the listless lea, The singer sang her love to sleep With, You'll remember me.|

e DANGEROUS PLIGHT.
One old Sailors Exciting Adventure With
 Polar Bear hn the Cold Regions.

One old Sailors Exciting Adventure With
 Polar Bear hn the Cold Regions.
 There is an old soldier named Jake an Arctic cruise, who has made up this mind not to go On another whaling ex- petition no matter what happens. The reason is this: On one occasion during his late voyage Jake was on the watch in the lookout cradle at tho masthead, and it was night-that is, as much night as it ever gets up there ill sum- mer The sun had been down about an hour and would rise again about an hour later.
 It was a beautiful sight as the ship lay there in the ice, and the air seemed scintillating with phosphorescent glow that penetrated everywhere and made no shadows. On all sides tho pack ice lay close to the vessel and reached for miles in every direction, broken occa- sionally by large berg or the faint out lines of another ship. The silence was profound. It seemed to produce a roar ing sound like the waves of a distant ocean, Such surroundings will put a person ill a semicomatose state, from which the slightest sound will awaken him with start.
 Jake suddenly saw something white in the gloom climbing the mast. His first impulse was to jump to the deck, but before he could act upon it the white object climbed through the lubbe1 hole, and Jake then saw it was a polar bear. Jake realized that he was ill a most dangerous position and began to think of means to escape. He called tc the watch on deck below, but they couldn't hear. He tried to get out un- der the canvas, but the beast grabbed him and pulled him back. It began humping him, and every time Jake at tempted to move away it would growl. Suddenly his eyes lighted on @ rope hanging to tho deck just back of the cradle. By this means he thought he could reach the deck. To swing himself free was but the work of an instant, but the bear made a jump and caught hold of his foot. But few vigorous kicks freed him, and then began a new terror. Perhaps the rope was not strong and would break, or he might miss the stay and swing against tho mast and be dashed to death.
 The moment ill the air seemed years | filled with horror, and several times Jake wished he had taken his chances | with the bear. To grab the stay an6 | hold on was the most difficult, anC twice Jabe's hands slipped and almost | lost it.
 When he reached the deck, he looked up and saw the rope swing back to tho cradle, where the bear grabbed it. Il tried to do as it had seen Jake do bu had no sooner swung clear than it slip ped and fell to the deck. The crew hat bearsteak for breakfast.-San Francisco | Item

Cattle and RattIesnakes.

ranchman the other day, land will
take every precaution to avoid a local
ity where they have reason to think
one of these reptiles is concealed. I
was once driving herd of beeves over
lonely trail, when suddenly the
leader of the herd, a huge steer, started
back in terror, gave vent to a snort
of warning, and moving to the right,
passed on. Those Immediately in his
rear turned to the right or left, and
their example was followed by the
whole herd. On arriving at the dreaded
spot I dismounted, expecting to find
that a rattlesnalze had been the cause
of alarm. Instead of finding serpent,
there in a little tuft of grass sat a harm
less plover, covering her nest, while her
wingsswere kept in constant and violent
motion. Seen indistinctly through the
grass, she had evidently been mistaken
by the steer for a rattlesnake.

BRICE IS CENSURED
An Exciting Scene in the
Ohio Convention.
SOME FIERY SPEECHES ARE MADE
John d. GeOGhegaa Chosen Temporary
Chairman of COnVention--Cofhn for
Governor OF Connecticut.

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 19.-The demo-
cratic state convention met at 10 O'Clock
with Frank Hurd, of Toledo, as tenn
porary chairman. In sounding the key
note of the Ohio democrats, Hurd said;
'Free wool was worth more than all the
other provisions of the tariff law" He
gave credit for it to President Cleveland,
Secretary Carlisle, Senator Brice and
the democratic congressman of Ohio.
The platform proposed praises the eff
cient, economical, honest administration
of President Cleveland; declares protec-
ton fraud and favors such further re-
ductIon of the tariff as can be made to
the end that purely protective duties be
abolished. Business failures, strikes,
low wages, low prices of farm products
are enumerated as the result of the Nc
Kinley law. eve dissent" says one
plank, "from the presidents view of the
construction and treatment of the silver
question, and believe silver should be
restored to the position it occupied as
money prior to its demonstration by
the republican party, and to that end we
favor the unlimited coinage of silver at
the legal ratio, 16 to 1, and with equal
legal tender power" The platform de-
nounces the American Protective Asso-
citation. It favors liberal pensions,
corrupt-practice law limiting the amount
of money to be expended by candidates
and law prohibiting free passes on
railroads.
The minority committee on platform
reported in favor of adding to that docu-
nrent proposal to elect United States
senators by the people. F. M. German,
Tom Johnson, V. R. Kline, A. J. Pear
son, ]. Tyler, Frank Hurd and John H.
Clark, of the committee on platform,
offered another minority report to the
effect that the democrats of Ohio favored
honest money, the coinage of gold and
silver interconvertible without loss, and
opposed the proposed coinage of these
metals at 16 to 1.
A dramatic scene occurred during the
discussion upon the proposal to elect
senators by ballot. John H. Clarke, of
Hahoning, declared in bitter terms the
senate was a millionaires' club. The
convention applauded loudly. Mr..
Brice eat upon the platform looking as
pale as marble. When Clarke sat down
Tom johnson SAID he did not believe
Brice had bought his way into thesen-
ate. This made the matter somewhat
personal, and great confusion followed.
The chair ruled the proposed amend
ment was not in order.
The anti-free silver proposition was de-
feated by a vote of 468 to 319.
The convention, by a vote of 467. to
1928. declared in favor of the election of
United States senators by the people.
This is regarded as tantamount to an in
direct censure of Brice. Milton Turner,
the one-armed soldier, was nominated
secretary of state. Other nominations
are: Judge of supreme court, James D.
Ermiston; member of board of public
works, Harry B. Keefer; state commits
sioner of common schools, DIR. J. A.

New way of Seasoning LUMBER.

A new process of seasoning Canadian
lumber is being developed, and bids
fair to become an important industry
to our Canadian friends. They have Sc
cured the control of a German patent
for the treatment of beech and birch
woods. By the new process the sap is
sweated out of the boards by being
placed in green state in steam cham
bers for twelve days, then it is put
into the drying chamber for two or
three days, and by chemical applica-
ton the wood is stained throughout
rich walnut color. No country in the
world has such forests of beech and
birch as Canada. A trial kiln has been
built at Ottawa, and the treatment is
said to be very successful.
