ScOIding.

Scolding is mostly habit. 1t is Of
ten the result Of nervousness and an
irritable condition of both mind and
body. A person is tried or annoyed at
some trivial cause and forthwith COM
mences finding fault with everything
and everybody within reach. Scolding
is a habit very easily formed. 1t is as
tonishing how soon one becomes addict
ed to it and confirmed in it. 1t is an
unreasoning and unreasonable habit.
Persons who once get into the way of
scolding always find something to scold
about. If there is nothing else, they
begin scolding at the mere absence of
anything to scold at. 1t is an extreme
ly disagreeable habit. 1t is contagious.
Once introduced into family, it is
pretty certain in short time to affect
all the members. Exchange.

Birds Are Mathematicians.

The English naturalist, Morris Gibbs,
devoted years of study to birds nests,
their formation and their contents, and
asserts that birds lay their eggs in ac-
cordance with geometrical lines, so
that every inch Of space is used to the
greatest possible advantage. Birds
which lay many eggs arrange them in
circles. the pointed ends turned to the
inside. Others, whose eggs are clip
tically shaped, place them in longitude
nal rows. If an egg is moved out of
its original position by an intruder, it
will be found on the following morn
ing that the bird has returned it to its
first position. Among the numerous
and often difficult cases which Gibbs
made matter of study, not one was
found which would not do credit to a
mathematician st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.

Decline of corn -.

1t is with extreme regret that view
the passing of the old fashioned Ken
lucky corn bread. For the last few
years its decadence has been steady and
sure The march of progress has about
"scrouged it aside, and the improved.
new tangled methods of modern milling
have had the effect to almost banish it
from our bills of fare. 1t IS true we
yet have corn bread, but 1t is not of the
good, old fashioned kind. On the con-
trary, it is very little like it. Bread
made from the meal now ON the mar
ket is damp and clammy as the hand of
a corpse, and when cold is hard enough
to play baseball with. The old time
flavor is gone, and it in no wise COM
pares with the old burr made neal

It should not be supposed because
the rank and file OF the Plnkertons in
the service OF the Anaconda capital
committee are more coarse and brutal
pluguglies whose only strong point is
bullying. bloodletting and the Winches-
ter policy-it should not because Of
these things, be supposed that there
is no other work for these fellows to
do than TO practice intimidation.
Among the force OF imported talent
now engaged in the patriotic task of
devising ways and means to capture
the capital for Anaconda, there are
some Of the smoothest election workers
of the Plnkerton force-men who have
achieved a reputation at the business
and who have helped more than one
hopeless. undeserving cause to victory.
In this day people who read the papers
know pretty we'll how such causes are
given victory--that II Is not done
through the conversion Of intelligence,
but by the purchase Of dishonest men,
the colonization and repeatingof illegal
votes and finally by the manipulation
Of the count.
All of these things. II is absolutely
sure, will be attempted in the interest
Of Anaconda for the capital. 1t is so
evident that this is Anaconda's bril-
liant finish" that no argument Is
needed to establish 1t in the belief of
any man who has watched the course

Tho Latest Changes In the Sugar schedu' c
We're Mahe AgaInst Their Wlshea.

WASHINGTON. June 29.-The Louis
lana senators are understood to be
strongly antagonistic to the mod ncations
in the sugar schedule that were made
by the Democratic members Of the FL
nance Committee yesterday. This modiu-
cation changes the time when the sugar
schedule shall 60 into effect from the
first day of January, as previously
agreed upon, 10 the date OF the approval
OF the bill. 1t also continues part only
OF the bounty for the present year. Civ
ing bounty Of nine-tenths Of cent of
a pound on sugar above ninety and eight
tenths on sugar below ninety and above
eighty degrees, polariscope test
Stiu another change is that which au-
thOrizes the Secretary Of the Treasury
not 10 impose an additional duty OF l-lO
cent on sugar imported from countries
satisfied that The producer has not been
the beneficiary Of such bounty.
While it is obvious that these amend
meuts are I'm every way unsatisfactory TO
the Louisiana senators, neither OF these
gentlemen Will discuss the matter Their
objections are twofod. The nrst IS that
these changes will seriously affect the
business of the sugar-prOducers OF the
United States, and secondly, that they are
q rect ISOLATION of tho agreement made
by tle Democratic caucus vita reference
TO the sugar schedule. The sugar sched-
ule as il now stands is not what the sugar
representatives, of the country would Ike
but they believed at the time IL would be
the best compromise that could be- made.
and il was accepted by them In that
spirit. The reason given by the Finance
Committee for changing the schedule is
that further concession are necessary I'm
order TO secure the passage OF the bill.
