as to the habits of the animal elected
from the small boy in attendance the
fact that bears like sugar and would
climb tree to get it. Ono of tho
party put this statement to tho test by
placing caramel on top of pole, and
the boy was vindicated by the bears
climbing to the top, but the caramel,
not so. easy TO month as sugar, stuck in
his teeth. He came down the pole, lay
on the ground and tried to get it loose
with one of his forepaws this failing,
he inserted the second paw, and then
the third and the fourth until he was
helpless on his back with all four paws
in his mouth.
Mr.. Morton now claims priority OF
discovery in the fact that the best way
to catch bear is to feed him on cara
mels, get all of his paws in his. mouth
and then club him to death. Chicago

Recent experiments by Mr.. Kunz
prove that the diamond emits light
when rubbed on wood, cloth or metal.
The fact that it becomes luminous by
rubbing on metal shows that the phe-

not exhibit this phenomenon, the
property will be valuable as an easy
test of the genuineness of the dia-
mond.
Shooting stars are small cosmic
bodies generally weighing only few
grammes, often much less, and COM

They travel in swarms through space,
and, like comets, move around the sun
in very elongated ellipses. When these
cross the path of the earth, shooting
stars become visible. They are not
luminous in themselves. Their brill
fancy is the result of the transforma-
tion of their rapid motion into heat.

A woadersul Cooperative Society In

small amount Of money go q great way
IL vital, the history OF q cooperative
society OF Englishmen which has really
accomplished wond 5rs Ii atse interest
It was in la44 that o number Of
weayers in the English town OF Roch-
dale banded themselves together under
the name OF tho Rochdale Pioneers.
They were poor as poor as they could
we'll be-and tho largest sum they
Gould get together was f28--a pound
apiece. Nevertheless they put for.
ward q program Of operations which
was magnificent in its daring. They
would found aco-oparatiye store where
they would sell articles purchased di-
rectly from the manufacturers; they
would build houses or the cooperative
plan which they could use themselves
or rent, and finally they would manu-
facturo articles themselves for the
double purpose OF getting them AZ
cheaply as possible and OF giving en-
ployment to their fellows who had no
other work.
They began practically Dec. q, 1874,
by hiring the ground floor Of a ware
house at Gl0 and spending "a in fitting
it up. This left them Ella in cash to
commence operations with. Their be-
ginning was full of trouble and dOubt
and difficulty, but still every year saw
an increase in members OF the society
and in funds. In 1854 the Rochdale
Pioneers numbered 600, their funds
had become 97,l72, and their profits
for that year were 81. 763. Ten years
more. saw tho society increased to 4,747
memoirs with ESP, los in funds and
realizing q profit OF G22,717. AT the
close of the next decade their numters
were q few hundred less but their funds
had become Gl92, 8l4 and their profits
E4O,679.
IN 1884 tho membership was ll,l6l,
the funds 1923, 470 and the profits ESQ.,

hered II, SAT persons with funds amount
ing to E37O, 1872 and making a profit Of

Such is the result of cooperation,
industry, perseverance and ELS. Mills,
factories and warehouses now are
owned by the Pion aers. Work is fur
nished to thousands and thousands OF
laboring people who have investments
in the works and other thousands buyat

they could elsewhere and often they

s.mp,. Democratic Iudep.nd.nc..

1t Is ten years now since the Mug
wumps began their chatter about the
growth OF Independence in politics. At
the end Of this time the country is en-
abled to see the Democrats in the
House of Representatives, by their
votes on the Wilson bill and on tho Nc.
Creary resolution, exhibit their utter
submission to Mi. Cleveland. When
were votes more s~ervile, cringing and
conviction breaking aver taken In q
Legislative body?
The passage OF the Wilson bill had
its Importance, for Its passage was
the sign that many Democratic repre-.
sentatives were willing to cramp and
harass the country with q measure they
did not approve. An ~insineere vote to
enact q inca is as effective
toward making that measure into
law as If every voters heart
spoke out OF his mouth. But res
olutions like MI. cCreary's mean
nothing unless they are sincerely
adopted, and there is probably no one,
not Mr.. Godkin himself. who will pre-
tend that among those who voted for
these resolutions there were not many
who think Mr.. C~leveland's Hawaiian
policy has been an impudently absurd
fiascO.
If the vote had not been SO nearly
unanimous 1t would have had more
effect outside OF Congress, for MIR.
Cleveland's friends might then have
maintained, with some show of reason,
that the vote represented the convic-
items of the voters. Only two Congress-
men, Messrs. Cummings and Sickles,
dared TO give anti-cucko0 votes. Had
the resolutions been passed unanimous
ly they could not have been more
meaningless. -Milwaukee Sentinel.
