His change of tariff has thrown out Of
employment many thousand men, and
subjected Others to general reduction Of
wages amounting at present 60 at least
10 per cent. for those employed. Nobody
can tell what the effect of his monetary
scheme would be if it could be passed,
but it is hoped that in the Senate, where
debate has not yet been suppressed, there
will be ampleopportunity to show exactly
what Democratic wildcat banking means.
II the people once get fair idea Of the
difference between the currency they now
have and have enjoyed for thirty years,
and the currency which the Democrats
propose, the majority in 1894 will be
eclipsed by the majority in 1896.

DISCIPLINE IN THE KITCHEN.
How a Guests Order Is Disposed of In
Great Restaurant.

How q Guests Order Is Disposed Oi In
Great Restaurant.
The waiter carries his order TO n man
who is known as the dummy man" and
quietly repeats it to him. The dummy
takes down on n slip the number of tho
waiter, the time the order was given and
the items of it. All this is shorthand, but
not the shorthand written by the giddy
young thing who chews gum and can't
read her notes. The dummy man is the
inventor and patentee of his own, which
has its advantages, even if it does make
an order look like a Chinese laundry
ticket.
For instance, two short horizontal lines
stand for sirloin steak. If there is a
little circle just above the lines it means
that the man who gave the order is not
going to call on his tianoee and will take
onions on his steak. If the circle stands
at the end of the lines, 1t means he wants
mushrooms.
When the waiter has given the order to
the dummy man. his work is temporarily
over 1t is the dummy man who really
starts the machinery. Right behind him
stretch the great ranges manned by 90
cooks. Turning to them, the dummy man
quietly calls off tho order in its different
portions. There is a cook for each depart
ment or section of the oommissary, SO the
vegetable part Of the order is turned over
to the vegetable cook, the fish to the fish
cook, the steaks go to the broiler while
the game, fowl and roast meats are dealt
with by the carver
When the orders have been separately
prepared, they are turned over to the chef,
who inspects them carefully. If they pass
muster, the order goes on to the dummy

BY Secretary Carlisle's plan it is in
6ended to put out notes of State Banks,
no matter whether decently protected or
not, as if they were substantially the
kind Of currency in which the people have
become accustomed during thirty years
of Republican safety. The Democratic
belief is that the people are stupid enough
90 accept such notes without question,
and thus to substitute this Heterogeneous
style Of paper Tor the notes which are
now protected by the United States. It is
needless to speak of the injury which
would be done to Workingmen, and to all
Others who may receive such notes in
ordinary payments for wages or for pro-
ducts The people have a right to a
better currency than the various states,
acting each for itself, will ever provide,
and the Republicans will not be true to
their duty if they do not resist to the ut
most every revolutionary stepi the direc-
Jion Of Democratic currency. 1t pleases
Mr.. Cleveland to think that he has been
able TO reconstruct the tariff, and before
he goes out of Office will be able to recon
atruct the national monetary system.

tives of Fraker who sued five companies
who held policies on the DOCTORS life when
he was drowned at Excelsior Springs, Mo,
July 10, 1893. The policies aggregated
S44655, and the plaintiffs have been
granted Judgment for the full amount. At
Excelsior Springs, Mo-, July 10, 1898,
while on a fishing trip, DIR. Frazer slipped
from the bank and was drowned. Not the
least trace of him could be found, and his
complete disappearance being so excep-
tional, several of the insurance companies
refused to pay the policies held by him,
alleging conspiracy to defraud.

ANIMAL ATHLETES.
Ants Enjoy a Good Rough-and-Tumbls
Wrestle Occasionally.


Wrestle Occasionally.
The ant, whose brain is larger, COM
paratively speaking, that that of other
known creatures, spends its leisure
hours in wrestling, running and other
athletic sports. Pierre Huber, son of
Francis Huber, the celebrated blind
naturalist tells the following remark
able story concerning sports among
ants:
Il approached one day to the forIni.
cary of some wood ants, exposed to the
sun and sheltered from the north. The
ants were heaped upon one another in
great numbers, appearing to enjoy the
temperature of the surface of the
nest.
None of them were at work and
the immense multitude of insects pre-
sented the appearance of liquid in
state of ebullition, upon which the eve
could scarcely be fixed without great
difficulty; but when / examined the
conduct of each ant l saw that they
were approaching each other, each
moving his antennae with astonishing
rapidity, each patting the cheek of one
of his fellows. After these preliminar-
les, which very much resembled caress-
ing, they were observed to raise them
selves upright on their hind legs by
pairs, struggle together, seize each
other by mandible. foot or antennae,
and then Immediately relax their hold,
only to renew the attack again in a
moment.
They would fasten to each others
shoulders, embrace and wrestle. over
throw each other. then raise them
selves by turns, each taking revenge
without producing any serious mis-
chief. They did not squirt out their
venom as they do in their real COM
bats, nor retain their hold upon their
opponents with such obstinaey. have
seen some so eager in these exercises
that they would pursue and vanquish
several IN succession, only struggling
with each few seconds.
In one place two ants appeared 70
be gambling about a stock OF straw,
turning alternately TO avoid or seize
each other, which forcioly brought %
my recollection the sport and pestime
of young dogs when they are observed
TO rise on their hind legs attempting
TO bite overthrow or seize each other,
without once closing their teeth
Mr.. Huber tells Of other queer habits
Of ants. such as their running OF races,
carrying each other on their backs,
etc. characteristics which certainly
prove that they sre endowed with
very high degree Of intelligence--N.
