A LESSON IN POLITICS.
One WorIingman Has Learned Which
Party Is His Friend.


Party Is His Friend
He was an excellent workman, but he
got tangled up in the political manipula-
ton of 1892 and was so battered by the
operation that he did not materialize I'M
til after the election Of 1898. But his
bump Of knowledge had grown suf1-
GENTLY large to balance his loss IN
weight, and his wrath against some OF
his political friends had served him for
an overcoat After shying around the
factory he entered the Office and opened
proceedings thusly;
John-Good morning, boss. Fine
morning, sir.
Boss-Hello, hello, Johnl How do you
do?
joint don't do anything now, boss.
Can't find anything to do.
Boss-How is that, John? You got your
party in. They carried everything.
John-Yes, but they keep everything
they get. They give nothing to people
like me.
Boss-I thought you were going to get
an office. You worked hard for the party.
John-They promised me a job, but

John-No, boss; l didn't have any coat,

American women who long for coro-
nets should hesitate before accepting In
dian ones. The case of an English woman
who sued for divorce from her Hindoo
husband points a moral. She alleged
cruelty as a ground former suit, and it
is claimed that the same plea might be
made by nearly all the women who mar
nv orientals and go home with them.
As usual thing, the oriental gentle
man pursuing his studies at an English
or American university is q picturesque
fiaure. He IL likely to be very clever.

Faults In Conversation.

Dean Swift once said: "There are two
faults in conversation which appear
very different, yet arise from the same
root and are equally blamable. | mean
an impatience to interrupt others and
the uneasiness of being interrupted our
selves. The two chief ends Of converse
ton are to entertain and improve those
we are among or to receive those bene-
fits ourselves, which whoever will con-
slider cannot possibly run into either of
those two errors, because when any man
speaketh in company it is to be supposed
he doth it for his hearers sake and not
his own, SO that common discretion will
teach us not to force their attention if
they are not willing to lend it, nor, on
the other side, to interrupt him who is
in possession, because that is in the
grossest manner to give the preference
to our own good sense. New York
Commercial Advertiser.

A Luxury Of the Rich.

A modern treatment of nervous pros
tration requires that the patient be put
to bed IN a quiet room and fed for weeks
on enormous quantities of milk. He
must take exercise, however, and this he
does by proxy through the device of
massage. He must do absolutely moth
ing for himself, and if his nose itches the
nurse must scratch it. Patients under
such treatment sometimes gain four or
five pounds of flesh per week. It is of
course luxury of the rich.-Philadel-
phia Ledger,

and it is taken for granted that he is a
prince at least, when he is at home. He
is popular with his fellows, and through
one of them he meets and marries
pretty, freely brought up girl Then he
takes her home.
She may not meet with unkindness
from her husbands family, for the orr
entails have many amiable and attractive
qualities, and they are not cruel. But
if the husband has not cut himself adrift
from the religion and ties of his child
hood his wife must conform to certain
extent to the ordinary life of the native
woman. And, inasmuch as she will
only do this so far as her love and duty
to her husband oblige her, she will GER
tainly fail to satisfy her new relatives
and will be looked on with GOODNESS and
suspicion by them.-New York World.

CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT DOGS.

Eskimos Find the Faithful Animal a No
cessity of Their Miserable Existence.
without dogs the larger portion of
the great Eskimo family peopling the
barren northern coast Of America would
find 1t impossible to exist In its chosen
home" So writes E. w. Nelson in his
Mammals of Northern Alaska" They
are used in the winter for hunting,
sledge drawing and the like, but In sum-
mer are mostly left to shift for them
selves. They receive much hard usage,
as well as do much hard work, but are
described nevertheless as a rollicking
set, full of play, fond Of human society
and quarrelsome as schoolboys,
Mr.. Nelson credits them with vein of
humor and declares that their varying
characteristics can be read in their faces.
They are worth from $2to $15 apiece, ac-
cording to age, size and intelligence,
For sledge drawing they are harnessed
in teams of either seven or nine-three
or four pairs and leader. The load is
from $50 to 700 pounds, and the course is
mainly through unbroken snow or over
rough ice. With a team of seven dogs
and load of more than 300 pounds Mr..
Nelson made journey of more than
/ 200 miles in about two months. The
last go miles were made over bad road
In a continuous pull of 81 hours. They
are much affected by the moon. During
full moon half the night is spent by them
in bowling in chorus.
During the entire winter at st. Mi
chaels," says Mr.. Nelson, "we were inya-
riably given chorus every moonlight
night, and the dogs of two neighboring
villages joined in the serenade." He
speaks of it's "wild, weird harmony"
and seems to have found 1t agreeable
rather than otherwise. The influence Of
the moon is also very apparent when the
dogs are travelling. They brighten up
as the moon rises, and pricking up their
ears start off as If they had forgotten
their fatigue. The fur traders take adj
vantage of this fact and sometimes lie
over during the day and travel at night.
The dogs endure an astonishing degree
of cold. Mr.. Nelson saw female with
two newly born puppies lying upon the
snow near hut, with no sign Of shelter,
when the thermometer ranged from 30
to 30 degrees below zero.

A wicked story is told about two part
ners who respected each others business
ability, but who hated each cordially.
To one of them came a fairy saying that
he could have any boon he desired, and
whatever he had hispartner should have
in double portion. Naturally his first
wish was for barrel of money. "All
right" said the fairy, "but your partner
will get two barrels on that wish. :"
stop little, said the first. Perhaps
you'd better not give me barrel of
money. I'd rather you would make me
totally blind in one eye. New Orleans

How He Felt.

1t is told of one of the most austere
bishops of the American Episcopal
church that once when catechizing a
class of boys he called attention to the
disobedience of Jonah and the conse-
quent punishment. To enforce the les
son he said in stern way, And, now,
boys, how did Jonah feel when the
whale swallowed him2" One bright
lad answered, 81 think he felt down in
the mouth. Philadelphia Press.

1t is generally supposed that the stale
ness of bread arises from its becoming
actually drier by the gradual loss of wa
ter, but this is not the case. Stale bread
contains almost exactly the same pro
portion of water as new bread after it
has become completely cold The change
is merely in the internal arrangements
of the molecules Of the bread. A proof
of this is that if we put stale loaf into
a closely covered tin, expose it for half
an hour. or an hour to heat not exceed
ing that of boiling water and then al
lowing 1t to cool, it viii be restored in
appearance and properties to the state of
the new bread. Brooklyn Eagle.

Within the last few years numbers OF
forgeries of extremely rare coins in the
British museum and in private collec-
tions have been sold by auction in Lon
don. So good is their execution that it
seems probable that means have been
devised for casting steel dies on plaster
casts or of hardening electrotype dies.
The manufacture of rare siege pieces, ="
carried on in one of our midland towns.
shows a far lower amount of skill.
When genuine but defaced coins are
restruck with new impressions, it is
very difficult TO discover the fraud.
Some genuine ancient coins are surfrap-
pees in this manner-as, for instance, a
whole class of Jewish coins which are
struck on Roman silver denarii. But
when the image and superscription of
William III can be discerned underly-
ing the device on rare crown piece of
Elizabeth the question of its authentic
ity is soon solved. ed.-Longman Maya
