Kelly Says

1t is great blessing to the human family that 1t was not left 10 the power of man to say how many bushels of wheat should grow to an acre or how many eggs a hen should lay yearly. because be believes there are men in Washington to-day that would vote to restrict the two greatest industries of this country if they thought it was con- nected with the Mckinley bill in any form, and It seems their actions are bound to de stroy rather than improve the condition of the country. My advice to the govern meEt of the United States is Remember what the good book says. you cannot serve two masters: you must have free trade or a tariff. lou cannot puta duty on Butter in order that the Butter maker can sell his goods at a good profit and put milk on the free list and distroy the business of the milkmen because It would not be just or honest and law like all other things must be based on honesty or it will fail.

st. Murphy.

There is in one of the departments
in Washington an old maid whom l
call ST. Murphy, not because she is so
saintlike in appearance, for my saint
has jolly face, and in that woman,
whose hair is sprinkled with gray and
upon whose cheeks the roses Of youth
have ceased to bloom, see a beauty
that leaves nothing to be desired.
She comes into the dining room ac-
companied by little girl and boy. My
woman's eye soon detects something a
little out of the usual. The children
look too young to be hers, SO make in
quiries and find that they are hers by
adoption. She found these children with
a dying mother, whom she made happy
by promising to care for them. How
faithfully she is keeping her promise
She has taken them to her heart. They
show, as children always do, that they
have not only food and clothes, but love,
and plenty of it. Do you wonder that
call her saint? Here is that woman, at
the age when women soonest tire, going
daily to her work, no matter what the
weather, GOLD or rain, denying herself
that she may make these children COM

Chemical Reaction.

A French chemist has lately made
some Investigations in field not hither-
to SO thoroughly explored as many 9th
ers, and from them he draws the con-
c1hsion that chemical reaction cannot
occur between 1875 degrees and $50 de-
grees. Sulphuric acid and ammonia
will not react at 80 degrees, while at go
to 65 degrees the action is sudden and
violent. Neither caustic soda nor caustic
potash can be made to unite with the
same acid below 1876 degrees G. nor
with carbonates below 80 degrees. With
the latter, brisk effervescence sets in
about 80 degrees. If nitric instead of
sulphuric acid is used in such expert
ments, the temperature where reaction
begins seems to be lowered in every
case. New York Sun.

Chicken on the Shell.

In a certain rather pretentious but
cheap priced restaurant witnessed q
scene which, though funny enough to
the outside onlooker, could not but have
been extremely notifying to the pro-
prietor. The proprietor was also the
cook, and he was engaged in industri-
ously frying a number of pancakes on a
griddle placed for show in the window
when party Of three who had just en-
tered ordered a trio of eggs apiece. The
proprietor thereat seized nine of the
ovids from box beneath the counter and
began to break them one after another
upon the griddle. He had reached the
eighth egg when, 10 and behold! instead
Of yolk and albumen spreading itself
temptingly into view, came small con-
fused mass of feathers, minute claws, a
beak, etc. A look of horror spread itself
over the mans face as he gazed at the
unwelcome apparition, and then gazing
over his shoulder and seeing that his
action was unnoticed he swept the grid
die clear of it's offending burden,
creased it anew and proceeded with his
work. o cookery, how many frauds

THE LAZY FIRST BAsEMAN.

He Was Favored by Rain Until the Manager
Drowned Him Out.
The retired left fielder was telling the
story. "Hank MoGinnis," he said,
"was the greatest first baseman ever

to lay off more'n half the time. The
summer we were playin in the Western

onto Hanks curves. He took him to
one side when the season begun an toll
him that he wouldn't stand no gratis.
He marked out to him that if he didn't
play every day he would git laid off an
lose his pay. Sore heels an thumbs was

Hank, bein lazier than eyer that

BEWARE OF FRESH OLIVES.

How a California Planter Amuses Himself
at the Expense of Innocent Travellers.
Eastern visitors in California are al
ways much interested in the olive plan
tations which, in recent years, have be-
come feature of the most southerly
counties of the state The lovers of the
succulent fruit when picked and bot
tied for sale in the east and north are
always anxious to taste the olive fresh
and ripe. There is a popular impression
that it is sweet and delicious; but, like
many other popular impressions. this is
delusion and a snare. 81
A few miles south Of San Diego,
where the railroad makes junction
with small one track road leading into
Mexico, a large planter has taken adj
vantage of this delusion for his own
amusement On the arrival Of each train
from the north numerous travellers dis
mount to wait the starting of the train
across the Mexican border. For their
benefit the planter has nailed box out
side of his fence just across the way
from the railroad station which he keeps
filed with nice, ripe olives. A placard
invites victims in these words:
