Ned and |
We love in an old-fashiOned way,
Long since gone by.
He says ! am his helpmate true
In everything;
And well, | will own to you
He is my king.
We met in no romantic way
'Twixt glow and gloom"
He wooed me on a Winter day,
Aud ina room;
Yet, through life's hours of stress and
storm
When griefs befel
Love kept our small home corner warm,
And all was well.
Ned thinks no woman like his wife
But let that pass;
Perhaps we view the dual life
Through roseate glass;
Even If the prospects be not bright,
We hold it true
That heaviest burdens may grow light
When shared by two.
Upon the gilded scroll of fame,
Emblazoned fair,
l cannot hope to read the name
proudly bear;
But, happy in their even flow,
The years glide by;
We are behind the times, we know
Ned and |.

A Lawless Crowd.

The House of Representatives has
pretty nearly degenerated into beer
garden. It's action on the wool ques-
ton on Tuesday was boyish beyond
description Sugar is an article of
universal use On nothing could there
be more even tax. Even the free
traders like Henry Watterson and
the extreme editors in New 4 ork City
have advised tax on sugar as being
one of the fairest possible means Of
raising revenue. Under the McKiD-
ley law the tariff was greatly reduced
but at the same time a bounty was
offered for all sugar made in this
country to protect the sugar industry
already established and to encourage
the establishing of more AS re
suit there has been a very large in
cease in Louisiana and very signi-
antincrease in several other States
The House has removed not only the
bounty, but the tariff altogether,
which leaves everyone engaged in
that industry in direct composition
with the naked workers in Brazil and
the scientific workers in Europe. or
course we understand that the House
eknew when it was doing that kind OF
work that the Senate would not sub
nit to any such arrangement at all.
put the fact that the House of Repre-
ssentatives, directly from the people
of the Uuited States, at time when
the expenses of the Government arc
from six to ten millions a month
more than the receipts, would go de
iiberately to work and do what the
House of Representatives. did on
Tuesday, simply shows That it is a
-lagless spapd. 1t is hard to call them
Americans after that performance Il
is hard to shake off the impression
that scores Of them have been bribed

DEATH oF A NOTED GIANT.
The ChInaman Chang, Who .gas Not Less
Than Nine Foet In Height

The Chinaman Chang. Who .gas Not Less
Than Nine Feet in Height.
The famous Chinese giant, Chang,
died at Bournemouth, England, No
rember 5. Chang had been seen several
times in America, says the New York
Herald. Because of prevailing super
stition among the Chinese people
his height was never measured, as
they believed that death would imme-
diately follow the measurement. But
there are none who have observed him
or who have stood up beside him who
estimated his stature at less than ninp
feet His physical proportions wcro
very symmetrical md his strength was
herculean. Having travelled and exhib-
tied throughout the civilized globe he
acquired and spoke with luency five
different languages-English, Ger
man, French, Italian and Spanish. He
was very companionable man and
delighted to meet and converse with
intelligent men and women.
Chang was born in i547 at Wang
Hue, near Pelzin, China. His parents,
who are still living, are large tea and
silk growers, and are Independent.
There is nothing in their constitution
nor that OF their progenitors to indi-
cate the possibility of transmitting
gigantic proportions to their extraor-
binary son. On the contrary, Changes
parents are about Inc average size of
Chinese people, who are well known
to be rather under the ordinary size.
At his birth there was nothing to in
dicate that he was to grow to his pres
ent stature, and up to the age of nearly
Six years his height did not exceed
most children of his age. After short
illness he began to assume such glgan-
tic proportions that his parents were
much alarmed at the growth of their
huge con. At the age Of twelve he
WAS equal to the height of his father
and the generality of the neighboring
people. The phenomenon Of his being
as tall as a man, and yet showing all
the habits and actions Of a child,
caused him to become the wonder and
astonishment of the neighborhood. At
the same time he suffered great per-
sonal discomfort, for the men would
not associate with him and the chill
dren would not play with him. AT the
nge OF eighteen he commenced to ex-
nibit himself in public.
Chang was here in 1880, in 1888, and
in 1886. After his last visit here he re-
turned to his native land TO marry a
Chinese beauty. 1t was bis intention
ut that time to come back to America
and to settle down in the west. He

FAIR WAS A DRAIN.
Other Cities Grudge tho Millions Spent

Other Cities Grudge tho Millions Spent
in Going to Chicago.
The close of the worlds fair must
have an important effect upon the
business condition of the country, says
the New York Post. For sig months
there has been steady drain of
money from all parts OF the nation
| into Chicago-money which but for
| the exposition would have been ex-
pended in thousands OF cities and
towns. Millions of people went to Chi
cago between the 1st of May and the
1st OF November, and spent on the
average a large sum for the round
trip The St. Paul Pioneer Press esti-
mates that there must have been at
least 100, 900 visitors from Minnesota,
and that it cost them on an average
$50 apiece for the journey and $50 ex-
penses in Chicago This would make
So 600, 900 that was taken out of Mime
sofa by the exposition. We believe
that this not an over-estimate. We
observed the other day statement in
an Iowa paper that no fewer than $50
people had gone to Chicago during the
season from one county seat in that
state, and although q large proportion
of them went on cheap excursions,
their average expenditures were esti-
mated at $55 apiece. While there was
great number of visitors from the
city and vicinity who paid but little,
the expense was heavy for people from
distance, and there was q constant
stream to Chicago from the remoter
parts of the country.
II it be estimated that the $1,000. 900
admissions represented no more than
100000 separate individuals, and that
the average expenditures were as little
as S25, this would mean the diversion
of 800, 900 from the ordinary chan
nels of trade into the treasury of the
lair, the receipts of transportation
companies, the pockets of Chicago ho-
tel and boarding-house keepers, and
the other classes who levied toll upon
the travellers. 1t must be remembered
too, that the large part of this money
came not from the wealthy, but from
people who were forced to save in
order TO raise the necessary amount,
and who consequently refrained from
expenditures at home which they
would otherwise have made. In this
way the fair has aggravated the nor
NAL effect of the financial depression
in almost every community. Its close
will arrest the streams OF money which
from thousands of points fer half
year have been flowing toward Chica- |
go, and will thus have very percepti- |
BILE influence in improving the business |
situation.

It's Curious Formation in the Full Rays
OF July Sun.
Two solid bodies, one yellow, sui
phur; the other black, carbon, unite
under certain circumstances to form a
colorless liquid, called sulphide of car
bon, which must be handled with
much precaution on account of its
great explosive pr operty. The soluble
property of sulphide of carbon renders
it valuable to take spots off of gar
ments. II its odor is more disagreed
hle than benzine or turpentine, it has
at least the advantage of being dis
peeled quickly in consequence of the
prompt evaporation of the liquid.
There is nothing equal to it to
take off spots of paint on

persons who use it for the first time,
for they see on the very place where to
their great pleasure the paint had dis

of which is hard for them to define,
and the more they brush the more I'M

grows. Is then the garment lost? No,
for fortunately after a few moments
the spots melt away never to show
again. 1t was snow and nothing more.
