riddle. In the middle ages riddles were
encouraged for amusements on winter
nights in the baronial hall and also in
the monastery. In later days some of
the most brilliant men of letters con-
tributed to the list ofriddles.
The anagram. or transposition of the
letters in words or sentences, was much
in vogue in Greece IN the olden times.
The CabalisJs, or Jewish doctors,
thought that the anagram always
pointed out mans destiny. and if his
name written backwards or transpoSed
in any way spelled a word with mean
ing. they firmly believed IL a revelation.
The fiattererS of James l.. of England,
proved his right TO the British mon
archv as the descendant of the myth
zeal King Arthur, from his name Charles
James Stuart, which becomes claims
Arthur's seat. The best anagrams are
those which have in the new order OF
letters some Specification appropriate
TO that from which they are formed
When Plate asked: ''Quid est veritas?'
ONhat is truth?) he proba bly, had no
idea that his question answered itself.
But it did; the transposition made it

TEE LABOR RIOTS.

The recent labor troubles over this
country forcibly recall the following
prediction of the results of action to-
ward a reduction Of the tariff expressed
in a worl1ingman's letter TO Cleveland
on the pending legislation in congress,
this letter having been published fully
two months ago:
''Of the effect on the relations be-
tween ourselves and our employers l
have hardly space to speak here. After
years of agitation and effort these rela-
tions became to large extent settled;
the rights of both sides recognized and
acknowledged; the shares Of each gen.
orally worked ont; wages in each trade
mostly fixed, and the rates for the diff
ferent trades and occupations adjusted
to each other so as to form general
standard for all. The basis upon which
all this was accomplished Is the sell
ing price of our manufactures and
products determined by only American
competition. By means of this bill
you intend 70 upset al the work we
have done TO advance our interests in
the past by adding to orr own the COM

THE BEAUTY OF FUSION.

The Republicans do not owe the
Democrats of Kansas even good Will.
The Democratic leaders of Kansas are
responsible for Pop rule and for all the
train of disgrace in our legislative halls,
all the corruption in our state institu-
tionS and ali the discredit brought about
by a weak administration. The Pop
party was as nothing without the aid of
Democratic votes. Now that the Pop
feels his strength md kicks off his
parasite the Democratic party begins TO
realize that many of the parasites have
developed into genuine Pops whom they
can neither coax or scare back into line.
So, instead of wiping out the Republican
party they have virtually wiped them
selves out of existence as political
factor for which anybody cares. The
average Pop despise5 a Democrat more
than he does a Republican, and
naturally. There is no Democratic
party in Kansas worth the name. In
Illinois the Democrats combined with
the Anarchists and Pops and elected
Altgeld and the party IN that state has
gone TO sticks. And SO in Indiana where
leading Democrats who Were for fusion
to beat the Republican party have be-
come Pops. There are two parties in
the west. Republicans and Pops, and the
average Democrat can join one or the
other or continue TO be nothing or no.

RIDDLES OF ANCIENT TINES.

From the Philadelphia Press.
1t seems ridiculous that the people
who lived hundreds and hundreds of
years ago We're more interested IN puz-
zles than you and / are to-day. This
is true, nevertheless. The puzzles
refer TO are those in writing. although
the ancients probably occupied some
of their spare time with strange and
pulling devices Of wood and metal, as
we do. What a pleasure il is TO solve
the problems in cur :favorite maya
zines or newspapers. It is very good
exercise for our brains. too. and where
q prize is offered 20 the fortunate boy
or girl who first solves the puzzles of
different kinds, the work is more pleas
ant still in the anticipation of proving
oneself a little cleverer than the
others and of receiving the gift We
find that the acrostic is the most an
cient form of pulling mankind.
Acrostic is Greek for a number of
verses, the first letters of which form
a word-sometimes q name and some
times sentence. The final letter
may form a word. or. as Addison tells

Hebrew poets often make their verses

THE BLACK PLAGUE.

The black plague which is raging in
China aud Corea, and which is carrying
off thousands daily, might reach the
middle states, not by immigrants but
through goods. At Hong Kong its vic
Tins alone number hundreds daily. Il
is a cholera of the most virultnt type.
Foreigners die just as suddenly and
surely when attacked as native DIR.
Eldridge the American health officer at
Yokohoma declares that Americans who
purchase Chinese goods such as straw
mating, emb roideries and textile fab
with the dreadful disease, rs those ar.
ticles are often made IN shops where
workmen are dying of black plague.

creature who was intended as a vile

Adam, by her button-hole bouquets and
her kiltenish ways, to consent to the
