A BILLION.
Few Have Any Adequate Conception
of What 1t Is.

II D1A1IOI
Few Have Any Adequate Conception
of What 1t Is.
The sheets of paper on which the Lon
don Times is printed, if laid out flat and
firmly pressed together as in a we'll
bound book, would represent measure
of about 1888 of an inch in thickness.
Let us see how high dense pile formed
by billion of these thin paper leaves
would reach. We must in Imagination
pile them vertically upward, by degrees
reaching to the hight OF our tallest spires.
and passing these the pile must still grow
higher, topping the Alps and the Andes
and the highest peaks of the Himalayas,
and shooting up from thence through the
t1eecy clouds, pass beyond the confines
of our attenuated atmosphere and leap
up into the blue ether with which the
universe is filled, standing proudly up
far beyond the reach of all terrestrial
things-still pile on your thousands and
millions of thin leaves, for we are only
beginning to rear the mighty mass. Add
millions on millions of sheets and thou
sands of miles on these, and still the
number will lack its due amount.
Let US pause to look at the neat plowed
edges Of the book before us. See how
closely lie those thin flakes Of paper; how
many there are in the mere width Of a
span, and turn our eyes in imagination
upward to our mighty column of accum-
ulated sheets. 1t now contains its ap-
pointed number, and our one billion of
sheets of the Times superimpOSed upon
each other and pressed into a compact
mass has reached an altitude of A. ,34S
miles Those who have taken the trouble
to follow me thus far will, think, agree
with me that one billion is fearful thing,
and that few can appreciate its real value.
AS for quadrillions and trillions, they are
simply words, mere words, wholly in
capable of adequately impressing them
selves on human intellect.

o, little maid! whose young and tender feet

For they who pure, unsullied lives would
Have need to arm and guard 'gainst many a

Perhaps 'tis best, and yet yean to know

We are so weak, and all that we can do

A child cannot keep thee, though knew

And bids thee to a path before untrod,
Where visions OF thy future seem to glide.
Aye, fair to see before thy gazing eyes,
Wherein thy thoughts most great do seem,
And who shall tell thee as these visions rise
That one day thou shalt find it all dream?
Nay, dream thou on, dear childl Dreams are
so sweet;
Mayhap they are reflections from above.
They make q life apart, wherein we meet
All that is best in happiness and love.
And as upon this border-land thy feet
Sill hesitate. uncertain of the way,
With stanch brave heart thy unknown future

DANGER JUST AHEAD.

A Prominent Professor Speaks About
the Threatening Things Abroad at
This Time of the Year.
sit is surprising how many people are SUIT
fering to-day from so-called coughs, colds and
influenza"
The remark was made by a very prominent
Professor connected with one of the leading
New York hospitals. Continuing, he said:
''It is not these things that are troubling
people, but it is an advanced form of our old
enemy, the grip. People feel out of sorts.
sneeZe, have pains in the muscles and bones
have no appetite, lose all interest in the world
and wonder what is the matter. 1t is the
grip, nothing else.
NOW, all such symptoms need to have
prompt treatment. The attack must be met
ana repeiled at once or 1T is certain to run
INTO something serious. [ know of but one
way to certainly avoid these troubles which
are now so common, ana that is, to immedi-
ateiy counteract them by using a good pure
strong stlmulant Nothing of the ordinary
kind, but something pure and scientific For
this purpose nothing has ever equaled DufIys
Pure Malt Whisky, which is acknowledged
today by physicians and scientific people to
be the only pure medicinal malt whisky upon
the market"
The words of the Professor are true and they
carry q wonderful meaning to lnany men and
women who are suffering with the first Symp-
toms of grip, or else grip in its advanced
stages For all such people we offer word of
advice which is to take the best means to
overcome these troubles and dO not permit
any dealer to swerve you from your purpose
to nave that which has proven Itself by years

THE OLD CLAY PIPE.

There's lot of solid comfort
In an old clay pipe, | find,
If you're kind Of out of humOr
Or in trouble in your mind.
When you're feeling awful lonesome,
And don't know just what to do,
There's a heap OF satisfaction
Ii you smoke pipe or two.
The ten thousand pleasant memories
That are buried IN your soul
Are playing hide and seek with you
Around that smoking bowl.
These are mighty restful moments;
You're at peace with all the world,
And the panorama changes
AS the thin blue smoke is curled.
Now you cross the bridge of sorrows,
Now you enter pleasant lands,
And before an open doorway
You will linger to shake hands
With 1.-the and girliSh figure
That is coming through the door;
Ah you recognize the features;
You have seen that face before.
You are at the dear old homestead
Where you spent those happy years;
You are romping with the children;
You are smiling through your tears;
You have fought and whipped the bully;
1Ou are eight and he Is ten.
On how rapidly we travel,
You are now boy again.
You approach the open doorway,
And before the old armchair
You will stop and kiss the grandma,
You will smoothe the thin white hair;
You will read the open Bible,
For the lamp is lit, you see.
1t is now your hour for bedtime
And you kneel at mothers knee.
Still you linger at the hearthstone;
Nou are 10th to leave the place,
When the apple-cut's in progress;
You must wait and dance with Grace,
What's the matter with the music?
Only this: The pipe is broke,
And the thousand pleasant fancies
Vanish promptly with the smoke.

a Chinese Columns.

The belief in Chinese Columbus was
first allowed by scholars only about fifty
years ago. The claim is that a Buddhist
priest in the fifth century crossed the
Pacific to this continent and returned,
making written report of his discovery.
The report still exists. 1t was translated
into French in 179l by NJ. de Guignes. 1t
gives narrative of a voyage eastward by
a priest for 10000 Ii, where he found a
country which he named Fusang. People
similar to the Indians were described, as
we'll as American plants. The only doubt
about the matter is as to the distance
meant by 10000 Ii. The priest may have
reached only some island in the Pacific

THE REPUBLICAN, PLATFVRM
Minnesota People Can Endorse All
Declarations Hsrsh Expressed.

The representatives Of the Republican
party of the state Of Minnesota In conven-
ton assembled deplore the depressed con-
dition Of American industries under Dem
ocratic miarule by theorists and reckless
and dishonest experimenters In statesman

people idle, there Is no aspect Of public If.
fairs which patriot can contemplate
with satisfaction.
We contrast with our present distracted
condition the decades when, under the
guidance Of the Republican party, we
were blessed with honorable consideration
abroad and peace and plenty Ct homo;
when wages were high and all our people
contented and happy because prosperous.
The Republican party, which took
labor from the auction block and made Il
honorable, and which bases its greet
economic doctrine on the maintenance Of
an American standard Of wages for
American producers, Il today, g always,
the party Of all workingmen. We pledge
ourselves in the future as In the past to
such care for the interests and rights Of al
classes of our people that law and order
will be maintained; that labor viii b ~
sured Of its just reward, unrobbed by
monopolies and trusts; and industry, 20
cure from danger, viii Do again free tore
sumo its activity benehcient alike % en-
ployer and wage Garner.
First-We favor protective tariff under
which, upon imports competing with the
products of American labor, duties are
levied equal to the differences between the
wages and labor at home and abroad,
And as to imports, other than }uxgFjes
not so competing, we believe fhGS the
same should be admitted free Of duty, 20
far as the requirements Of the government
may permit, But the principles Of reci-
procity should be 70 Incorporated IN our
tariff laws as to give new and enlarged
markets to the products Of this country:
Second-The Republican party bslieyes
i'm the use of both gold and silver -
money, maintaining the substantial parity
of value of every dollar In circulation with
that Of every other dollar. II believes in
bimetaiism and that The restoration 81
silver as ultimate money to the currency
of the world Is absolutely necessary fep
business prosperity, proper rates Of wegSs
and the welfare Of the people.
Holding these views, we believe II should
be the policy Of the United States to Do
everything In its power to promote the
restoration Of silver to the worlds our
rency.
Third-We demand . free ballot and =
fair count, and for every tixen the right,
unmolested, to cast one be llot In any cleo
