SELFI.SH INTEREiSf.

The delay of the Senate in taking some final action on the Wilson bill and the apparent inability of the Democratic Senators to get together on that measure leads the Chicago Neps to remark:
 "The Democrats seem to be i'll Il se- fious dilemma. The promises made the country last year, and upon which they asked to he returned to power, they are not able to make good, not because of too small ma- iority in either branch oi Congress but because the Democrats them selves do not believe in the wisdom of carrying out the pledges which brought them the votes. The Demo- crats hcliye in Il tariff for revenue only untilit gets to the pet industry of some Democratic members State and then ne bolts.
 There is a great deal af truth in this little paragraph. For years the Democratic party has advocated tariif reform, and now when il has been placed in control of all the departments of Government on that issue we witness dissention among the leaders because the very theories advocated blythe party ate attempted to be put into practice on certain industries peculiar to certain con stituencies. Every fellow seems to be perfectly willing to have tariff reform applied to some other fellow, but when the industries of the constituency which he represents are affected, the. he kicks and bolts. For instance, We see Senator Cor man favoring duty on coal because certain transportation liaes in which he is interested owner coal mines, Murphy, of New York, kicks and grunts because the duty has been reduced on collars aed cuffs. Sen ator White, of California, is railing against the blll because prunes are placed on the free list, in which he sees the entire 'swivelmg up of that industry. The Louisiana Senators, White and CaffreY, swear by all the gods that the bill shall not pass un- less there is duty of F per cent, placed on sugar and even Senator Morgan, of Alabama, who few years ago delivered himself of an unanswerable argument showing why coal and iron should be placed on the free list, is now pulling and fuming and railing against the bill because that has been done. It must be remembered, however, in this connection that since the great speech above mentioned that the iron and coal industries have been considerably developed in Alaoama
 It is these dissentions which are causing the Wilson bill to hang fire in the Senate, and it is these selfish considerations that threaten the success of the Wilson bill, for it is said that unless the re, calcitrants get what they ask they will form combination for the de feat of the bill.
 Such behavior is very reprehensi- ble in our leaders. If tariff reform means anything, it means reform all along the line The Democratic party is pledged to it, and he who is not true to his party pledges is traitor to his party and the country

Indiana contributed her thousands of bravs soldiers to the war, and no state bears a bet ter record in that respect than it does. In literature it is rapidly acquiring an Solomon Yeweil, well known as writer as Sol, has won an honorable position. Dur ing the late war he was a member of Co., Nj, 2d. N. Y. Cavalry and of the 18th Indiana Ih- fantry Volunteers Regarding an important circumstance he writes as follows:
 Several of us old veterans here are using Br Miles Restorative Nervine, Heart Cure aad Nerve and Liver Pills, all of them giving splendid satisfaction. In fact, we have never used remedies that compare with them. Of the Pills we must say they are the best com- bination of the qualities required in & prep aration of their nature we have ever known. We have none but words of praise for them. They are the outgrowth of new principle in medicine, and tone up the system wonder fully. We say to all, try these remedies" l" Solomon Yewell, Marion, Ind.. Dec. g. 1892

The Clock Winding Snake.

In Persia there is kind of snake
which is known to the natives as the
clock winding snake. 1t derives its
name from peculiar buzzing noise
which it makes that resembles the wind
ing of clock. These snakes are per-
fectly harmless and frequently glide in
and out Of the houses, no attention be-
ing paid to them by the natives. Dur
ing visit there several years ago
was attracted one morning by an unu-
sual twittering of birds, and on looking
up saw about 90 sparrows on the top
of wall, all jumping about in an ex-
cited manner.
At first 1 was at loss to understand
the cause of such a commotion, but
presently l heard the peculiar buzzing
of the clock winding snake and in a
minute perceived the reptile crawling
along the wall, making directly for the
birds, which appeared to be fascinated
and made no attempt to fly away. The
snake glided in among the birds, and
choosing one to his liking deliberately
seized it in his mouth and swallowed
it. picked up a stick, and after kill
ing the snake cut him open and extract
ed the sparrow After about 10 min
utes' exposure to the sun the bird got
up, and in a few minutes more few
away apparently unhurt. - st. Louis

Jangling Piano Strings.

Another case occurred in a house
where / was once stopping in Nova
Scotia. A piano with a bad note was
fixed by simply opening an inside shut
ter of bay window at the opposite side
of parlor from the piano. The latch of
one shutter was lightly resting against
the edge of another and caused the jan
gle when one particular note was struck.
The lady player had previously declared
that she would send for tuner the next
day and laughed at my attempt to fix it
by hunting about the room while she
pounded. However, she did not conceal
her surprise when the trouble was re-
moved and admitted that there was
something about this sound business
that she did not quite understand.
In regard to locating these jangles,
however, Twill say that it is not always
so easy. 1t requires some practice before
the ear becomes capable of locating with
any degree of success the direction of
sounds of this kind. This was my ex-
perience with the first piano jangle,
that of the cracked globe, which was
quite difficult. That of the window
shutter was easier as well as many 9TH
ers which l have located since. A cor
rect musical ear is also an important
adjunct in the case. "A. A. Knudson in

The PLANET uRANuS-
Some Interesting Things a Voyage to the

some Interesting Things Voyage to the
Gigantic World Would Disclose.
Ii Uranus which is star of about
the sixth magnitude, were a planet like
those little ones called asteroids, which
are being discovered by the dozen every
year, 1t coald not have much claim upon
popular attention. But Uranus is really
gigantic world, more than 60 times
as large as ours. Its vast distance, now
about l,700, 900, 900 miles from the
earth, is what causes it to look so small.
Uranus has four moons, which revolve
| backward i'll their orbits-that is to saw.
they revolve from east to west around
Uranus while Uranus goes, like all the
other planets, from west to east around
the sun. 1t is believed that Uranus ro-
tates backward ON its axis also. More
over, the axis of that great, strange
globe lies in such q direction that in
the course of its year, which is equal to
S4 of our years, the sun shines almost
perpendicularly first upon one pole and
then upon the other Measured by our
time standard, there are 40 years of con-
slant daylight, followed by 40 years of
unbroken night, around the poles of
Uranus. And the sun rises in the west
and sets in the east there But the sun
looks very small when viewed from
Uranus-only one four-hundredth as
large as it appears to us. Still it sheds
upon that planet 1000 times as much
light as the full moon sends to the
earth, so that daylight upon Uranus,
while faint compared with the blaze of
terrestrial MONDAY, is nevertheless a
very respectable kind of illumination.
1t is pity that the telescope is able
to show us very little of the detail of
the surface of Uranus Some faint bands
or belts, just visible with the most pow
erful instruments, are all that can be
made ont. If we could visit Uranus, we
should probably be greatly surprised, if
not greatly disappointed. Its average
density is but a trifle III excess of that
of water, and Of course its surface den
sity is far less
A voyager from the earth landing on
Uranus would probably sink almost as
rapidly as if he had leaped upon one
of those round white thunderclouds
which, piled high in air, look so solid
and snowy cool on July afternoon. He
could no more walk ON the surface of
that world than he could walk ON water
1t has generally been assumed that
the meaning of the slight density Of
Uranus is that that planet is still in a
vaporous or liquid condition and ex-
ceedingly hot perhaps. If so, it may in
the course of future ages contract and
condense and cool until it comes into
condition resembling the earth's. Will
vital forces then become active upon it
and produce long succession of living
species, Frightening its dim daylight
with the color of flowers and the cease
less activity of animate existence? 1t is
not likely that man will ever be able to
answer that question, but who that
looks upon Uranus keeping step with
the earth to the music Of the sun can
help asking it?-Garrett p. Serviss in
New York Sun.

MENTAL IMAGES,
Material Pictures Contemporaneous With
Thought Impressed Upon the Brain.

MATERIAL Pictures Contemporaneous With
Thought Impressed Upon the Brain.
"a man conyersing in earnest, " says
Emerson in his essay on Mature, F" "if
he watch his intellectual processes, will
find that material image, more or less
luminous, arises in his mind contempt
raneous with every thought, which fur
nishas the vestment of the Thought" "
This power of forming mental images
appears to vary in strength among indi-
viduals to considerable degree. Natu-
rally we should expect to find it power
ful in poets and artists Charles Dick
ems has himself told us that he actually
"saw" his creations as he wrote, and NJ.
Taine mentions painter who only look
ed at an object while he sketched its
outline and was able to fill in the colors
from the image of it in his mind. On
the other hand, there are people of equal
intelligence who, being unable to see
such mental images themselves, have
doubted their existence, and Mr.. Fran
els GaltOn has shown that habits Of alb
stract thought, such as men of science
and philosophers indulge in, are apt to
weaken the capacity of forming mental
pictures
Mr.. Kirkpatrick of Winona, Mimi,
an experimental psychologist, has made
a series of observations ON this phenom-
enon with the help of his classes. The
scholars were asked to write down Just
what came into their minds when GER
tain familiar words, such as "book, ="
"tree, " "church, were called out, and
the answers were carefully investigated.
He found that the majority Of the stu
dents formed distinct images of the OBJ
jects corresponding to the words, and
the rest formed indistinct images, with
a few exceptions, who seem to have in
dulged in philosophical distractions.
The word "book," for example, called
up visions Of Bible, a dictionary, a
novel, in all but few scholars, who
thought Of food for the mind" or "the
thoughts of some person. The word
tree" was represented by some kind Of
tree more especially the illustrious cher
ry tree which George Washington cut
down. The word Church usually
evoked a picture of some church in the
but some of the hearers thought
of a religious organization. 1t is ev-
ident from his results that most people
are "visualizers" in thinking, while
few are "nonvisualizers. +" The tenden-
cy to form distinct images was very
among the female students,
and in both sexes it reaches an abnor-
NAL development about the ages Of ID
and l5, or during the period of adoles-
cence, which, it has been otherwise OBJ
served, is also one of exceptional good
health and rapid growth. The tendency
is further checked or fostered by the oc-
cupations in life.-Cassell's Magazine.

is illustrated in the following anecdote:
Shortly after he had returned from his

party at Mentmore, a lordly pleasure
house which Baron Meyer Rothschild
had built for himself in Buckingham
shire. One evening, at dinner, the con-
versation turned ON the exquisite deco
rations of the room. Lord Rosebery' g
observation to his next neighbor, by
way of epilogue to the conversation,
was, Eyes, this place would suit me ex-
cellently." When seven years later, he
had married the daughter of the house
and was the owner of Mentmore, his
friend, happening to meet him, remind
ed him of this observation. Lord Rose
berry replied with assumed gravity, but
