How It Feels to Go Barefoot.

II you wish to know the essence of CON-
fort when yachting, burn your corsets and
return your shoes and stockings to your
trunk until you enter civilized port.
For four years have worn neither except
In public. Consequently run no risk of a
chill from cold or damp feet.
1t certainly requires little training be-
fore you are able to walk over rough ground
with the unnatural soft soles of the shoe
bound foot, but 1t is more easily and quick
ly done than you would imagine.
After years Of being swathed and bound
and tied and cased in whalebone, it gives a
delicious sense Of freedom to be clad in
nothing but gauze wooden shirt, a mumu
and holaku.
There is not anywhere band or string
to check the blood in your veins, and as
you stand on the deck of your ship, all
your body conscious of the rhythmical,
elastic roll of the sea and the fresh, clean
trades sweetly blowing, you feel like bird
on the wing.-Mrs. Robert Louis Steven
son.

While on a recent trip out into the coun-
try l saw farmer rid himself of several
nests of bumblebees in q very simple but
effective manner. The particular field
which was being plowed over for the fall
sowing was especially infected with the
troublesome insects, and a plowboy the day
before had been badly stung. The farmer
asked me to go with him and see the boys
jug the bees" A common brown Jug half
filled with water was taken along. One of
the boys led the way to an especially large
and dangerous looking nest lying on the
stubble close to the ground. The jug was
cautiously deposited by the side of the nest.
Then, with long branch of tree, the
nest was violently stirred, and the lad fed
for his life. In perfect swarm the bees
flew out to see who had dared ASSAULT their
castle and circled angrily about, buzzing
violently all the time. From a safe dis
lance the farmer and his boys threw clods
of dirt and stones at the angry insects.
They seemed to be looking for their enemy
Gradually their numbers grew less, and at
last there were no bees to be seen.
Let us look into the Jug" said the farm
er As he led the way. 1t was picked up and
its contents poured out on to the ground
with difficulty, as 154 umblebees, by actual
count, had flown into the jug in vain ef-
fort to find the destroyer of their home and
had drowned. walked back with one of
the boys to spring to fill the jug with
clear water, preparatory to an attack upon
another colony of bees. As we trudged
over the sunny fields the berry brown lad

CHAPTER III.

Gunnar lived in this state Of idyllic
satisfaction until he was II years old.
At least he tried hard to persuade him
self that he was content. And yet there
would be times when sudden disgust
would possess him, and the future that
was in store for him would seem pitiful
and mean. Though half superstitious
dread Of the great world that surround
ed him had been impressed upon him
from his earliest years, and stories Of
disaster consequent upon desire to ex-
plore 1t had been dinned into his ears, he
could not suppress restless yearning to
take the dangerous plunge. If only to test
his skill as swimmer. The great deeds
Of his ancestors, which Salveson had re-

versions, had set his blood coursing at .

this amusing incidents A raw countryman
went to New Orleans with fiatboats, the
one laden with corn, the other with pota
toes. He visited a gambling house, and
betting lost his money corn and potatoes
Returning, he found the boat containing
the corn sunk, all total loss He lay
down and dreamed Of 'jackpots. corn and
potatoes, and about sunrise the "child OF
chance' who had won his corn and pota-

What is a smile7 A latent CLEAN

As water lilies In stream,
Awakened from their long. deep dream
To light arise.

Which sets the heart bells in a chime.

sorts accompanied them to the bridal
house. All the picturesque customs
which in Norway makes such an occa-
sion memorable had been dropped; but
master of ceremonies there was, who
welcomed the bride and groom and pro-
posed their health at the feast that fol-
lowed. Beer flowed abundantly at the
table, and whisky was poured from
pocket TASKS which were passed about
from hand to hand with mock pre-
tense Of secrecy. The pastor, who sat
next to the bride at the head of the table,
was so deeply absorbed in the eatables,

a mustache, with a smart twist Rt the

ONE of the arguments used by the
jealous adherents of the mine own
ers, is that the decentralization Of sill
yer has caused q decrease in the price
of cotton, but in our opinion, the
real cause Of the decrease is contain
ed in report of United States Con-
sui Penfeld, who is located in Cairo,
Egypt.
she says the shipping of cotton from
Egypt to the United States is casu-
ally considered as anomalous and SUI
perhuous as the sending of coal TO
Newcastle, but the records show that
Egypt is aggressively competingin a
small way with us, not only in Eu-
rope, but at home in supplying raw
cotton, and the consumption of
Egyptian cotton by New England
spindIes has grown from nothing ten
years ago to more than 40, 600 large
bales, equivalent to so, 600 Ameri-
can bales, and valued at So, 900, 600.
The Egyptian cotton area, which
was about s6S, $50 acres in 1892,
EOw equals l,Of2, GAL acres, an as
tOnishing advance. 1t is asserted
that the use of Egyptian Gotten in
the United States is in no sense inim-
ical to our own cotton interests, for
il is used mixed with our own cot
ton in ways that would not be pos
sible for an unmixed product. The
Egyptian cotton plants this year are
strong and well rooted, and the crop
bids fair to exceed 1900, 900 Amer
lean bales.
Consul Penfeld says if the projec-
ted scheme for perennial irrigation,
long considered and almost assured,
be authorized and carried out, the
amount Of arabic soil in Egypt can
be doubled With the Egyptian
cotton crop thus augmented, South
ern Russia entering the field of
competition and over-production in

ling lower year by year, cotton econ

that have received the greatest
amount Of protection. Though the
unjustness Of the law that prevents
equality Of rights is so apparent, and
It's results NO Disastrous 10 the mas
ses, it is evident that the adherents
Of such legislation are increasing
instead Of decreasing, but differ
in kind. There are those who advo-
cate the0protectiOn of manufactur-
ers and oppose the protection Of
the silver mine owners, while anoth-
err class 7ehemently oppose the
Mckinley law yet are ardent supper
porters of the coinage Of silver at
l6 to /. The average protection
under the Mckinley law is so per
cent, or in other words the people
are now paying so per cent. Protec-
ton to the manufacturers and 40
cents on the dollar for goods At the
present price Of silver bullion, the
amount contained in a silver dollar
is worth 4s cents, therefore to coin
silver at the ratio of Is TO I would
be nothing less than protecting the
silver mine owners to the amount
of 50 cents ON every dollar coined.
There is no consistency in opposing
protection to the manufacturers, and
favoring protection to the mine own
ers of silver. If it is right TO pro-
tect the owners Of silver mines, il
is equally just to favor the manufac-
turer TO the same extent-the prin-
ciple involved is the same. But the
democratic platform declares for
tariff for revenue only and for the
equal, intrinsic and exchange
able value Of the gold and silver dol
lar, how then can those who favor
the coinage of a 4s cent dollar
claim to be in harmony with the
democratic platform? The corn
and cotton raisers have never yet
received any protection from the
government, and the politician who
expects to ride into office by advoca-
ting protection in any of its phases,
may be asked if it is right to pro
tect the manufacturer, miners and
sugar growers, should not all indus.

Mr.. James +. Hunter, of Mem
phis, Chairman of the Democratic
Congressional Committee of the
Tenth District, has received the fol-
lowing letter from Hon. Josiah Pat
tersOn:
Washington, d. c., June z, 1894.
Mr.. James +. Hunter, Chairman,
Congressional Committee: Dear
Sir-It is now evident that / cannot
return home before about the 1st of
August without abandoning my post
of duty. This / cannot do consist
emily with my sense of obligation to
the people / represent. l have been
absent for more than 10 months at
the most critical period in our histO-
ry since the war. The democratic
party has been on trial for the first
time in more than thirty years.
Without fault on it's part the admins
tration has passed through period
of Hnexampled depression. In its
efforts to redeem its pledges to the
people the democratic party has been
sometimes divided in It's councils
and has been all the time environed
by the evil results of previous re-
publican administration. Many peo-
pie do not stop to discriminate, but
hold those entrusted with the pow
er responsible for all that occurs, to
whatever the evils complained of
may be attributed. Where the peo-
pie themselves differ on grave pub
lie questions, member of congress,
under such conditions, can only do
his duty faithfully according to the
lights before him, and trust to the
patriotism and good sense of his
constituents. This | have done in
the fullest confidence that the de-
mocracy of the TenthDistrict would,
when they understand the reasons
which have controlled me, give me
their approval. / point to my de-
votion to the public service as an
evidence of my keen appreciation OF
confidence and esteem Ii l have
been faithful to my trust and de-
serve the further confidence of my
fellow-citizens, ! am entitled to an
opportunity to go before them and
vindicate my course. If ] have not
been faithful to my trust to them
aud my country, my opponents
should have an opportunity to meet
me face to face before the people
and expose shortcomings. In either
event the people are entitled TO be
thoroughly informed before they act.
/ therefore, through you, as official
head Of the democratic party in the
district, request my fellow democrats
to take no action toward nominating
my successor until after the adjourn
ment Of congress and have full
opportunity to answer to them how
/ have discharged the duties which
their sufrages imposed upon me.
Very truly yours,
JOSIAH PATTERSON.
