Enc Muscular Exertion of Animals and
 Their Respiratory Power.
 The close relation between muscular activity and respiratory power is well shown in comparison of the frog or the turtle and the bird. The lungs oi the frog are mere pouch into which air is swallowed in a manner similar t6 that in which warm -blooded animals drink water. In the turtle we find noths ing which corresponds to the respira. tory movements of -blooded ami. mals. In the bird we have an enormous thorax filled with lungs of highly-de- veloped character, which are reinforced by communicating cavities in the bones. The movements of the turtle are slow. 1t lives a sluggish life amid the slum and scum of some stagnant pool. The bird, on the contrary, lives life of the greatest activity, and possesses a power of muscular exertion almost incredible. Herr Gatke asserts that godwits and plovers can fly at the rate of two hum dred and forty miles an hour. The swift has frequently been seen to out strip lightning express train. The man of sedentary life breathes little like the frog and the turtle, as life is on E low level. He Has little capacity for useful activity. because his breath ing powers are undeveloped Those who wish to live with the birds, on a high level, must develop lung capacity, which can only be accomplished by means Of active, vigorous, physical ex- ercise. j.

Mortality from Cancer.

It is one of the curious facts in medic al search that cancer rarely attacks persons of desolute and drunken habits, In most of the female patients whose cases are recorded by an eminent En- glish authority, the victims have been hard-working, industrious and home
 loving women. and in a large number of consecutive cases there was not a single individual with either yirulent disease or depraved habits. Upon this basis of reasoning, it would appear that some of the popular ideas on this dis ease are very far from the truth. h the same connection it may be said that many so-ealled cancers are thus diag' nosed because the attending physicians are unable or unwilling to give the nalady its true name.-N.

It is remarkable how the progress of geogr a phical exploration is adding to our knowledge of the vegetable world. A few years ago it was au- thoritatiyely stated that the number of plants known to and described by bot anists was 100000; but the southern part of our continent and eastern Asia are turning out novelties in great num- bers. Works devoted to these topics are continually describing them. It is not improbable that one-half have not yet been known.

POPULISTS EXPOSE THEIR LACK
OF PRINCIPLE.

At the Republican State Conven-
ton, the platform contained these
words:
We reaflrm our allegiance to the
National Republican party and renew
our pledges to the people as set forth
by the party.
That is to say the Republicans
declared in favor of:
A Protective Tariff.
A Force bill.
Bountles
And not only SO, they endorsed the
legislation of their party since 1860
and "pointed with PRIDE to the
prosperity that had followed the
legislation of the Republican party.
The Populists denounce all these
things and charge that the Republicans
have ruined the country.
And yet, they "co-operate" with
the men they say have ruined the
country to get few offices. Homes
men can have nothing but contempt
for men whose actions thus belle theil

THE OLD STORY.

An apparently we'll founded rumor
connects the names Of Mrs. Nellie
Grant Sartors and Major H. kyd
Douglas, of Maryland, and it is said
that their marriage will take place in
the near future.
Major Douglas was an officer on
Stonewall Jackson's staff, and in his
Virginia campaigns he did some hard
fighting against General Grant. But
all that goes for nothing now. The
gallant ex confederate and the great
commander daughter understand each
other, and they are thoroughly con-
WINGED that the war is over, and that It
is time for the blue and the gray to be
linked together.
1t is all right and it is simply the
repetition of 4 very old story. In all
ages and in all countries the sons and
daughters of the brave men who fought
each other i'll the field have given
bond in Cupid's court to keep the
peace, and in their own sweet way
they have blotted out the bitter
memories of the past and made love
take the place of hate. The Wars OF tine
Roses caused Englishmen to cut one
another's threats with even more fury
than was exhibited in our civil war,
but when the struggle was over love
again ruled the camp and court and
field. and the business of marrying
and giving in marriage was resumed
at the old stand. The descendants
of those who took part in England S
long civil war intermarrled, and their
children to-day care no more about
the feud of their ancestors than they
do about the agrarian troubles in
ancient Rome.
1t will be the same way in this
country. We are one people with one
destiny, and the blue and the gray are
already on very good terms. Some
times the politicians pretend that there
is some i'll feeling between the sections,
but there is really nothing OF it. II
General Grant were alive to-day it
would give him more genuine pleasure
to see his favori;e child united to his
old foeman than he felt when she
married Sartoris and went TO his
stately home over the sea. All true
Americans have this feeling. They
know when to make war and when TO
make love, and when their family
fights are over they are the readiest
people in the world to forget the past
and pull together.
So We hope that the rumor IS true.
When the blue and the gray are made
one, and go to housekeeping, this will
be happy country. AIS we'll that
ends well.-Atlanta Constitution.

WAGES AND THE TARIFF.

The New Your 71I6nne is now try
ing to convince its readers that the
reduction in wages that has been going
on recently is due to the Democratic
tariff. The Tibune says that the Re-
publicans predicted that the reduction
would take effect somewhat in advance
of the tariff changes proposed by the
Democrats, but no such prediction is
on record. One may search for it in
the files of the Tribune and other Re-
publican organs in vain.
The greatest reductions that have
taken place happen to be in the wages
of railway employees, in lines of manu-
featuring dependent on railway pros
perty, and in the wages of cotton
mill operatives. 1t is notorious fact
that the railways are not materially
affected by such changes as have been
made in the tariff. 1t is notorious,
also, that the cotton schedule that has
been put in the new tariff met the
hearty approval of the New England
mill men.
The Tibune knows these facts to be
true, and yet it is using all its energies
and all its influence to deceive and
hoodwlnk the people. Pretending to
be opposed to European low wages,
it has aided by every means in its
power to establish and uphold the
inadequate financial system which has
reduced European wages to SO low a
standard. 1t is loudly in favor of
gold monometallism, which has robbed
and enslaved the pauper labor of the
gold standard nations, and which will
rob and enslave the wage-earners of
this country unless the people rise in
their might and demand the restoration
Of silver.
The highest tariff that could be in
vented would fail to raise wages in this
country to-day. They would continue
to fall until the lowest depths of the
gold level was reached. The reason
is simple. Prices depend in large
measure on the quantity of debt pay
ing money there is in circulation-on
the volume of standard money avail
able. To-day the country is on the
narrow basis of gold, and the avail
able volume Of that metal has been
seriously contracted by exports during
the last three years. The tariff
question, SO far as it affects prices and
the general volume of business, has
been made chestnut of by the
money question. To-day tariff is a

ATTHE Y. M. G. A. SUNDAY.
Address of Horace HOOd-=Rev. VIM.
Black. Next SUNDAY,

Youth is the period Of activity. The
physical life has its natural vent in
competitions for ascendency. And
successful competition, even when the
moral element does not enter into the
contest, brings a pleasure that is in
tense.
When the young man has his life
work to choose, he has already learned
to drink Of this pleasure; the most
natural tendency with him is to choose
that profession in which he can drink
longer and still deeper droughts Of the
same kind. But let him remember
that old age comes-the period when
mans energy is relaxed. He no longer
gets the intense pleasure that comes
from an active encounter with his
fellow man. He now lives no longer
in the present and future, but in the
past. When he feels that his intellec-
tual viyor is we'll nigh spent, will the
memory Of his intellectual victories in
youth comfort his declining years
Will the applause Of his fellow man,
which were once so sweet, echo i'll
memory the same thrilling note? viii
not the remembrance Of one single act
done to relieve suffering man; one
deed that will help those who must
follow the way that he has come, bring
more pleasure than the memory Of all
those things?
In youth, remember that old age
must come and so live youth that old
age may find support in the past.
Rev. VIM. Black, of Monroe who is
to arrive Saturday and assist DR.. Nor
