IT is probably true that many, perhaps most of the misguided meIl now tramping their weary way to Washington from various points, really mean no harm, being altogether innocent of evil intent.
 Whether this can be said of all the insti- gators and leaders of the movement is not so clear. Some of these must be men of intelligence, and it is difficult to believe that such would have anything to do with this affair, save for mischief. But how ever free from wrong purpose any or all of these may be, they have at least made a blunder which amounts to a crime. No useful purpose whatever, can be served by it. while its tendency is to bring about conditions favorable to most untoward re- suits. From the very nature of the under taking it eau accomplish nothing by peace ful and lawful methods, aod whatever its misguided masses may be tempted to do by other means can only an to whatever suffering they may otherwise experience.

The Life of a Ship.

An interesting discussion has been started on the subject of the life of the ships. It appears that this is very much a question of where the ship is built. It is found that vessels constructed in the United States last, on an average, 1S years only. French ships average 20; Dutch, %; German, %; British, 26; Ital- ian, 27, and Norwegian, 30 years. The average death rate of the worlds ship ping is about 4 per cent and the birth rate 5 per cent. It has become the prac- tice to construct certain parts of a yes sel of iron instead of steel, such as tank tops and decks exposed to the weather, but it is now found to be better plan to keep the material the same through out as far as possible, and the steel should be tho same thickness as theiron.

Water Taking the Place of CSal.

One of the most interesting processes now going on is the conversion of water into light, heat and power. The great obstacle in the way of cheap electric lights and power has been the cost of coal and other fuel. But all over the northwest water is being utilized for running electric plants. An electrician who has recently been looking over Mon- tana and the northwestern states finds that everywhere water powers are being taken up and utilized to create electric ity. So cheap is this process that the use of coal is out of the question. No light and power can be created so cheap ly as that where a mountain stream has been made to do the work. What was an experiment short time ago has now become one of the most remarkable in- dustrial developments of the time.-Ex- change.

Both Good.

Many interesting stories have been told about that favorite son of the south, Henry w. Grady. One that was heard a few evenings ago at an assemblage largely made up of Presbyterian clergy men shows that his colored coachman, who has not appeared prominently be- fore the American public, was well worthy to be in the service of such 8 master. The rev. Dr. Henry M. Field was the relator of the incident. Dr. Field was visiting Atlanta and of course met MT. Grady. MT. Grady placed his carriage at Dr. Fields disposal, and after driving about the city, on being left at MT. Grady's office, Dr. Field rewarded the coach1nan with a big silver dollar. ~
 Later in the cay MT. Grady remarked to Dr. Field that his coachman had told him of the tip, and at the same time had said that certain Baptist clergyman, whom he had driven about the city a few days before as MT. Grady's guest, had at the end of the ride rewarded him with his blessing, saying that he could give no other reward. MT. Grady asked which he preferred, the dollar or the blessing, and the coachman, scratching his head, replied that both were good and that he thought he preferred them mixed. And there are many others of us, think" concluded Dr. Field, ''who prefer them mixed. ."-New York Times.

Chloride of Ethyl.

A new local anasthetic has been in occasional use in surgery for the past year. Previous to that time it was chief ly used by dentists. The name of the anasthetic is chloride of ethyl. which has peculiar odor, not at all offensivc; on the contrary, pleasant and swc"t taste. It will take the place largely of chloroform and ether, which require considerable time to have effect on pa tient. Moreover, it is much safer. It can be used, for example, in the cutting of an abscess or any other such slight operation. It is simply a matter of spray ing the affected portion of the body. Its chief component is alcohol.-New York Telegram.

 BABY QUESTION.

He Gets a Book Written by an Authority and Endeavors to Put Its Principles Into Practice-Alas For Poor Baby!
 GCopyright, 1894, by Charles B. Lewis.l
 As MT. Bowser was ready to sit down after dinner the other evening he took small, red covered book from his pocket and was soon so intently interested in its contents that Mrs. Bowser's curiosity was excited, and she looked up and asked:
 "What is it, MT. Bowser-something new?'
 Mrs. Bowser,' he replied, dropping the book on his knee and looking at her over his spectacles, ''you are mother"
 "Yes,' with a glance at baby Bowser, sleeping as soundly as young wolf
 "You are mother, and yet what do you know about your child?"
 "I know everything about him.
 "You do, chi I expected just such an answer Has Orlando cut all his teeth yet?''
 "Of course he hasr'
 "Of course he has or he hasn't! Have you run your finger into his mouth? Have you opened his jaws? Have you done any thing but guess that he has cut all his teeth? Do you know for fact that his eye teeth have come2"
 ''Why, he's old enough and must have cut them, of course,' she answered in some confusion.
 'That's exactly why I bought this book, D he said as he tapped it with his finger. "It is family medical book, mostly devoted to the bringing up of chill
