Indian Rainmakers.

A rainmaker in India has an appa-
ratus consisting of a rocket capable
of rising to the height of mile, con-
tanning a reservoir of ether. In its
descent it opens parachute, which
causes it to come down slowly. The
ether is thrown out in fine spray, and
Its absorption of heat is said to lower
the temperature about it sufficiently
to condense the vapor and produce a
limited shower.-ChjcaQo Tribune.

OVER fifty kinds of bark are now

Household Notes.

George Eliot used to say that to her the
best test of housekeeper was not the
manner in which her kitchen or dining
room was kept, but the way in which a
bed was made up. Although it seems a
very simple matter, there is really great
deal of art in making up bed properly
and as 1t is "a piece of furniture on which
we spend on an average one-third of our
time it is worth all the attention that can
be bestowed ON 1T.

TIMELY TOPICS.

A correspondent in this issue
2 signing himself Civis writes a
!; thoughtful article on the political
tissues of the day, and suggests the
holding of symposium on the
,subject. The columns of the AD-
IvERTIsER are always open to cor
respondents and we would welcome
Expressions of opinion on any of
Ithese subjects.
I The ambiguity in the word citi-
czen referred to by Civis is probably
tmore apparent than real. It is
hardly likely that the conditions
attached to future franchise will
sexclude those who are only aliens
jim technical sense. The matter
sof the suffrage for Chinese and
HJapanese is different matter. No
,rone who has transcribed the mar
ffcw and inhuman prejudices of
;race would exclude anyone from
Ifhe voting privilege on account of
rthe color of his skin. To a lover
sof his kind that circumstance
dshould of itself be as Indifferent as
CHE color of the hair or eyes. 1t is
because differences of color, to use
oshe language of the logicians, soon
lsaate" other and more important
differences that they may be taken
nto account. Any exclusion OF
Aslatics from the franchise which
rs not illiberal and unworthy, must
toroceed, not from prejudice or
JEALOUSY, but from a perception of
we essential alien character Of the
