When a farmer gives mortgage
he has 70 pay the interest himself
when a railroad gives mortgage,
the public pays the interest in in
creased tolls. When a farmers
mortgage is due and he fails to pay
it, his farm is sold and his family
are turned out to "root, hog, or die"
When a railroad mortgage becomes
due and is unpaid, the road is put
into the hands of a receiver (that
is, the government takes charge of
it), who soon pays off the mortgage
and restores the road free of debt to
the original mortgagors. Oh, it's
nice to be railroad or any other
sort of a corporation, but it is sheol
to be only a farmer or plain Ameri-
lean citizen. Vote for the old par
ties some more.-Pittsburg Kansan.

John McCIaran, who has just re-
turned from Chicago with stock,
tells the following story OF what
he saw Of suffering in that city; we
are thus informed by one of his
neighbors:
No sooner was the Car clear OF
stock than it was filed by crowd
of children picking up the corn
from the droppings of the cattle and
saving every kernel to take to their
homes. But this is not all: the
tubs in the rear of the hotels and
restaurants we're surrounded by
children crowding each other to
get morsel of bread that might
be found there. Think of this and
imagine, if you can, the suffering OF
these little ones in their fight tor
something to sustain life, and then
put yourself in their places, or i'm
agine your children driven to such
straits. All this almost in the shad-
ow of the residence of some mil
lionaire, and then look for the cause
of this. We talk of down-trodden
Ireland, but has ever writer pic
tured such suffering in that land
lord-ridden country q? This is not
far-fetched, it is at home. Isn't it
time the people were looking for
the cause of this and doing what
they can to remove lt!-The Adj

Why this widespread recruiting
of the militia? Don't you know !?
Why, there is mighty army of
idle, STRIVING men and women in
the land. One of these days their
hunger will madden them and they'll
rise up and demand justice. Then
these uniformed lickspittles of plu-
tocracy will be ordered to shoot
the poor wretches who couldn't be
patient and calm with hunger
gnawing at their vivals. That s
the plan. Don't forget it. Plutoc-
racy first fleeces the people, then
shoots them into submlssion.-New

People who have contracted this or
that disease from too familiar contact
with their pets are simply victims OF
their own iInprudence, for il we must
avoid altogether every animal which
might be the transmitter of deadly
parasites, then we should not keep
cows, oxen or swine. AS an illustra-
tion,I need but to remind the reader of
the trichinis and murrain which are
often epidemic.
Regarding snappishness in dogs, only
q few words will suffice here. A dog
which is continually set on man or
beast, in sport or in earnest, thinks
that he only does his duty when he at
tacks all visitors. An animal which is
made to feel the whip at every provo
cation will soon exhibit the same
naltreated child. Keep a dog con
stantly chained and when liberated
he will prove an Enthusiastically CON-
panion. In all these cases the owner,
not the dog, should receive the blame.
have raised perhaps a dozen dogs
end not one of them became vicious
That they will defend their master and
his Belongings can surely not be called
snappishness, but rather betrays the
admirable trait OF constancy and faith
fitness. will herewith attempt to
describe how canine attachment can
be developed as exemplified by my
faithful Cesar. TO enumerato the
many instances in which my dog has
shown his self-denying love.to mention
all his tricks and amusing perform
auces would be impossible in this
brief sketch; he must be seen for a day
or two with my children in order to
understand how we on value him 50
much.

To DO Up Handkerchief.

To have your handkerchiefs always
looking like new ones wash and iron
them after the following directions
After they nave been washed and
brought in dried from the line, instead
of sprinkling them for ironing, as you
do the other clothes, put two quarts OF
water in a bowl and squeeze six drops
of bluing into it from the bluebag; then
take q piece of raw starch the size of a
pigeons egg and dissolve it in the wa
ter, being careful that 1t does not settle
In the bottom Of the bowl.
Take each handkerchief separately,
dip il up and down i'm this water two or
three times, squeeze it as dry as posi-
BILE with the hands; then when they
have all been dipped in lay them out
smoothly in a towel and place them in
the clothes basket.
To iron them lay them ont fiat on the
ironing table aud smooth them on both
sides. After this. make a fold two inches
deep across the handkerchief aud press
1t in lightly with the iron; then make a
fold the ether way across the handker-
chief just ms they are folded in the boxes
when you buy them. BY laundering
them in this way, handkerchiefs will
look quite new as long rs they last.

HOW TO TREAT sPRAIss.
frO1. AttiIa, the strong Man, Gives valu.
able Information to Athletes.

-
Athletes In all branches of sport are
more or less liable in competitions or In
training to snffer froni over exertion,
producing evcre sprains of the cords
md sinews. Unless properly attended
TO at once. these injuries often cause
weeks and months OF pain and suffer-
Ing, and sometimes result in permanent
injury. People generally dc not know
that the simplest treatment in these
cases is the best. / recently talked
with Prof. Attila, the strong man, now
located in this city, says a N. Y. Herald
man, and he told me of his personal ex-
perience with sprains during his pro-
fessional career, extending over a pc
riod of twenty years.
Without doubt the professor'is one of
The really few bona fide strong men Of
the world. He is a yeritable Hercules
in strength, and has a record Of public
performances second to none. He il
was who brought out Sandow, and to
the latter was due an accident which
gave Attila a knowledge of the proper
treatment OF strains of the ibres OF the
biceps.
The accident In question happened In
Eaicyr, while Attila and Sandow were
performing together. Ii resulted i'm
;he breaking Of a number Of cords OF
the biceps and the severe straining of
Others, causing the entire arm TO turn
black. and producing great pain. There
was no outward wound, and the emil
rent physicians and surgeons of the
continent were puzzled over the proper
nrro pf ft.natsnnnt ~ t.nru.,n
Finally Attila left the professors in
dispair and, at his own suggestion. the
injured part was wound about with q
firm, soft cloth. The first day after the
cloth was put on he was able TO lift
with the injured arm atwo-pound dumb
bell. The second day he raised a three
pound weight. lie Kept increasing the
weight daily until he could raise the
iifty-pound bell. Then he knew he had
mastered the injury. In a compare
;;roly siiort time the wound had healed.
and Attiia, strange TO say, was stronger
than yer in this arm.
In cases of strains of cords in the
wrist Attila SAYS the injured part should
he tightly bandaged, and twice a day
, held under a faucet, allowing cold wa
ter TO fall on it from a height of two or
three feet. This produces a natural
steaming, very beneficial. In a short
time IN Improvement Is noticed under
this course of treatment.
Where the tissues Of the muscles Of
the leg are strained the only treatment
necessary is very simple. Bandage the
injured part tightly, and exercise ii
daily, a little at first. II allowed to re-
main inactive the injury grows worse
in all cases. The straining Of the mus
Giles OF the back is best treated by appli-
cations of liniment and judicious use OF
electric treatment.

Fish OF Solid Gold.

G.. A. Guinand of the Nadeau hotel
was fishing at Santa Monica recently
when he caught what at first sight APP
peared 10 be a solid lump of gold.
When the prize was safely landed il
proved to be a specimen of the Japan
csc fish known as the papraka. and by
experts here is said to be the first of its
kind ever caught on this coast.
The fish is a beautiful creature. being
exactly the color of FURNISHED gold and
of graceful contour. II is about 8
inches in length. 5 inches in width and
about l 1-2 inches thick. The head is
short and the mouth is small. but full OF
rows of sharp frontal teeth. The dorsal
fin is of short length. but is sharply ser
rated. and continues along the back.
ending in a larger Tin. which. in con-
nectlon with n corresponding one un-
dcrneath the body and tail, gives the
specimen the appearance of a three
tailed fish.
A remarkable feature of this beautiful
fish is that il is furnished with two dis
tinct sets of gills. The eyes are promi.
nent and bright yellow in color.-Sda
