Sixteen to One Twiddle rwaddle.

The people are beginning to see that
the free silver coiners are not basing
their assertions upon facts, nor do they
employ any sound logic. The phrases,
"dollars of our fathers" money Of
the constitution, "crime Of 49," to-
gether with anarchistic denunciation Of
the "bankers, ""money lenders, ""Wall
street sharks" etc., constitute their en-.
tire stock in trade. And by means Of
such twiddle twaddle they expect to de.
stroy bimetallism and degrade this
country to single silver standard. -

The wage Garner, the laborer and the

nail against free silver because the
amount they receive will not be in
creased while the prices Of living will

merchants and the farmer. Their wages
are not flexible. Salaries cannot be ad-
justed at once. It takes time. Mean
while they must work at starvation
rates and pay imitation prices.

w. II. Abel commenced suit Saturday
for several North river settlers against
the Northern Pacific railroad company to
test the validity OF the land grant claimed
by it from Portland to Tacoma. The
settlers are homestead claimants on land
to which the railroad has patents, and
the purpose OF the suit is to enjoin the
company from ever asserting title to the
land and 70 establish the validity Of the
socalled grant. The suit will be, if
necessary, taken to the highest courts,
and upon its favorable termination many
other settlers will start similar suits.

lake, which is completely separated
from the sea by narrow strip Of
land, was discovered by the Russian
naturalist NJ. Herbenstein, who was
struck by finding in the lake a fish
which is exclusively marine in habit,
namely the common cod. On the
surface the water is fresh, and inhab-
lied by fresh water animals, such as
daphnids, etc. this water is brought
to the lake by streams from II neigh
boring marsh. Under the superficial
layer of fresh water is found salt
water, supporting marine fauna
sponges, sea anemones, nemertines,
polychaetes marine molluscs (chiton
aeolis, astarte), startish and panto-
pods The salt water is believed to
reach the lake by an underground
communication with the ocean.

CONGRESSMAN'S OWL.
a Friend Sends Him One for M ocK
ina Bird.

"Did you ever hear about the Bra
lillian mncling bird that Congress
man-elect John Z. Tracy, OF the
Springfield (Mo.) district once
owned?" asked Jack Carr at the
Planters recently.
NO? Well, I'll tell you about it.
l was in Springfield and was going to
Texas, and Tracy asked me to get IL
Texas mocl,ing bird and send it to
him. He said his wife had long
wished for one, and he thought 1
could get it for him. ! promised to
do my best.
The so-called Texas mocking bird
is larger than the northern product
and has Il long scissors-like tail with
Il large white spot on each division
OF it. 1t is much easier to domesti-
cate than the native of the Northern
States, and it's tones when it sings
are more mellow. When | struck
Paris, Tex, | went to see II friend of
mine who had, knew. several fine
specimens. ! told him what | want
ed, and he showed me several birds
and then asked me which one |
! NUHltu. lOINl nun .hullbSi bHC
largest one he had
! He took me into rear room and
/ said he would show me Brazilian
bird that beat the Texan all to pieces
! Then he brought out II cage in which
was the largest owl | ever saw. Every
feather on its body was pure white,
and when stretched out it's wings
measured over two and a half feet
! from tip to tip, saw the joke and at
once decided to send 1.-THE owl-to
i Tracy.
&" | boxed the bird up and took it
to the express office Then decorated
| the box with all sorts of bottle labels,
! hieroglyphcs of different kinds and
other mysterious symbols and sent it
to Tracy. He paid $3 or ~ express
! charges on it-you know it takes
! double charges to send live stock by
eXpress-and took the box home.
We'll, he made the best of it and
kept the bird, and in time be-
came much attached to it. He had
ball and chain attached to it's leg
so that it could not fly 1t could
walk easily, however, and for long
time the owl had the freedom of
Tracy's house and yard,
zone night the bird grew thirsty
and hoped on to the edge Of IL bar
rel that stood under u spout at II cor
ner OF the house He lost his balance
and fell in and the ball followed. He
tried to get out but could not fly with
the ball attached to his leg, so he
was drowned. The Congressman has
not yet secured genuine Texas
mocking bird.

THE KANGAROO.
A Success in Many Ways, But not
in Runnina Down Hill.

Leather made from the skin of the
kangaroo is one of the new products
i'm the leather line. 1t is soft, strong,
and the light grades are particularly
well adapted for light shoes and for
shoe tops, while the heavier grades
will bear more usage than any other
leather finished on the grain side.
The light skins are made into the
finest brilliant glazed kid and in dull
finish for ladies' fine shoes, and the
heavy ones are finished for mems fine
work. Much OF it is crimped and
sold for tongue boots. Shoe aces Of
good quality are also made of it.
The skin Of the kangaroo has a
wonderfully muscular fibre, which
contributes largely to the strength Of
the animal, enabling the females to
carry their young IN their pouch un-
til old enough to take care OF them
selves, and aiding the kangaroo in
his long leaps when in motion.
The animal is native of Australia
and adjacent islands, 1t is a dis
tinct species, and has no counterpart
in other countries. There are great
number Of families, some scarcely
larger than Il rat others of almost
gigantic size. The giant kangaroo
(Macropus major, the family which
furnishes the most valuable skins,
was discovered by Capt. Cook about
century ago, at which time it at
tracted much attention among nat
uralists.
The natives of Australia call the
old males "booma, and are slow to
/ attack them. The "booma" has
paws as large as those of II mnstiif.
| though of different shape. His feet
are his weapons, and when attacked
| he is dangerous antagonist. When
raised to his full height his hind legs
and tail form Il tripod, upon which
/ his body rests, carrying his head as
/ high as that of man on horseback.
The kangaroo lives upon vegetable
| food, and roams over the plains OF
| Australia in large focks. Its teeth
are so constructed that it can feed
upon roots and live upon barren
plains where other animals would
starve, and to its destruction OF roots
is attributed the sterile plains SC
common in Australia.
When feeding a large male stands
at his full height and acts as sentinel,
while the balance of the flock lie on
their sides and browse. At the
slightest approach of danger the
sentinel sounds the alarm, and in an
instant all are erect upon their hind
feet. They leap with their forepaws
clasped close to their body the tai
stretched backward, while the power
ful thigh musles are caused suddenly
to straighten to the joints, by which
act the body flies through the air or
u low curve The ordinary jump i:
about nine feet, but thirty feet Is
often made at leap. When pursued
by hunters, and on level ground, ol
on an upgrade, they can outrun the
tleetest dog, but down grade they
lose their balance and roll over. The
flesh of the kangaroo furnishes excel
lent food, kangaroo venison bein!
considered a dainty dish, while the
tail furnishes an excellent and nu-
tritious soup.

The Best Country Road.

The reports of several investiga-

agricultural department have been
submitted to Secretary Morton. The
inquiry as to the best roads for farm

General Roy Stone, who pictures the
road that best meets the farmers
needs as solid, well bedded stone
road, so narrow as to be only sin gle

alongside "A fine, dry, smooth dirt
track " the report says, is the per-
fection of roads, easy on the horses
feet and legs and free from noise and
jar. The stone roads, on the other
hand, wear more in warm weather
than in wet Practical experience
shows that the junction of the stones
and earth sections of the roads can

Hanged for Cannibalism

Three scientific gentlemen of Sierra
Leone, one OF them Sunday school
teacher, were hanged recently by the
British authorities Tor cannibalism.
They belonged to a Human Leopard
Society" the members of which hid
in the bush in the neighborhood OF
villages, clad in leopard skins, and
killed the villagers who came in their
way; these the society subsequently
ate. In their defense they explained
that the murders were committed in
order to obtain certain parts of
the booty, the hand, leg and heart,
with which to make medicine called
'ju ju." They were taken from Free
town to the Imperi country, the scene
Of their crimes, where in n public
street scaffold was set up, on which
they were allowed to hang for As
hours, the scaffold being left in place
as warGing to other "leopards.

Mechanically she took the manuscript

Raymond started at her tone. Then.
seeing that she was in earnest, he opened
the door for her and stood mcekly by
while She passed out. Whereupon he sat
down on II chair with an indistnct sense
of having done something very foolish.

women, and had made capital out OF his
writings, he had quite failed to grasp the
| fact that the sex Is Il strangely delicate
organism, liable to be thrown ont Of gear
by the faintest dscordant movement.
Three days later there came a letter.
! Dear Mr.. Rose: | have come to the con-
| clusion that the end Of your story was, so
! far rs am concerned, incorrect. Owing

Raymond Rose cast the letter upon the
floor and said bad words, cursing in turn
the various classes of typsts, brothers
and "old friends" Then he packed Il
portmanteau and went to Switzerland fol
his long ng-contemplaied change of air. He
climbed the Matterhorn and sailed dowr
the Lucerne, coming back after one
months travelling to his old rooms and tC
his old comfortable ways, also to some ole
friends. who declared that he never looked
so well in his life.
