WE would like to hear from orr re-.
publican exchanges on, blow MANY
pounds of sugar do you get for a dollar
these days?" For some reason of their
own, we presume, they don't care to
discuss that question at present. Then
again, it would do us quite little good
to have the highly entertaining and lu-
dicrous farce of Chester and his two
little sacks" reproduced. The voter
who swallowed that sugar song in the
last campaign must surely feel like
kicking himself by this time.

It as his opinion that the light emitted by
shooting stars is not due to conflagration
or to the heat of impact. In those high
regions our atmosphere is too unsubstan-

is much more likely the phenomenon is
one of static electricity developed bv
simple friction, and it is well known that
rareted gases can be made to glow intense

Result of Picking Up a Pin.

LATTE, the eminent French banker, owed
his first start in life to the circumstance of
his being seen to pick up pin in the court
yard, as he was going to call upon a wealthy
person for the purpose of seeking employ
ment. The man who would pick up pin
thought the wealthy person, must have
some thrift about him, and so he gave him
employment, and found that he had not
mistaken his character

a great thing that any individual OF us

to the increasing endeavor OF the cnurcn

THE PET MEANNESS.

1t is very curious thing that every
body, nearly, has a rooted aversion to
giving away some one thing. No mat
ter how generous the man or woman
may be, in this one thing he or she is
miser.
Baron James Rothschild did not in the
least mind giving thousands of dollars
to hospital, tens of thousands in doz-
ems of directions; but when it came to
stamps, the great financier, it is said,
could not bear to pay the passage on his
private letters, but would send them at
the expense of the firm. With Madame
Chere Mere" in one of Frederick Bre-
mer's charming stories. it was lace. She
could give her children houses and
lande, and to yield them fields and farms
did not cause her pang; but when it
became question of Duchess point"
she confessed that nothing could be
more painful than to part from the least
bit of it. One of the richest women in
this country boards matches as if they
were SO many wands studded with dia-
monds. She will give one or two under
protest, to relative in need of them;
but she buys them by the gross, and
lights and relights them until the last
charred bit falls off, leaving her often
with burnt fingers and regretful wish
that "she could have used that one once
more" When her children come OF age
she gives each of them two hundred
thousand dollars with the greatest pos
sible cheerfulr ess, but if they we're to
ask her for a whole box Of matches she
would feel that she was being impover-
ished, and if they took six, that she was
being robbed.
AS rule it is only among the prosper
GUS that one finds the pet meanness.
The poor haven't time to develop fads Of
any kind; they never have much of any
thing, but they give of their little in a
way that puts their richer neighbors to
the blush.

call of the effect Of suddenly acquired
