From Minerals, Vegetables.

1t has long been dream of the eyolu-
Zionist that the vegetable kingdom has
evolved from the mineral, as he believes
that the animal has evolved from the
vegetable, and it may be that in the fairy
figures on our window panes we are wit
Messing, as it were, the efforts of nature
to effect this transformation. We are
taught that the earth was once too hot
to support tho life Of plants. but that
after the surface had cooled, trees, shrubs
and MOSES sprang up. Whence did they
come?
A tested window pane shows us the
strange phenomenon of inorganic matter
assuming the shapes of ferns and leaves
and fronds, and may perhaps represent
to our eyes in miniature process which
went on on q large scale during the pre-
vegetable era Of our earth's history
This idea is as old as the Jewish Ca
bala, where we read, 1.-The breath be-
came stone, the stone plant, the
plant an animal, the animal man, the
man spirit, the spirit god. Lon

THE FASHION PLATE.

A fetching cotton fabric showing
fancy stripes on dark and light blue
grounds is known as marine twill.
Among silks taffeta has the prefer
ence, as it is Of light weave and is pro-
duced in great variety of effects.
All bouffant effects should DO left ell
tirely to the thin woman, who needs
them and can wear them with good re-
suits.
Tall women may wear long capes
with good results, but those who are
short or of medium height should wear
them much shorter.
Grape ribbons are made with satin
edges that often contrast in hue with
Grape, which is very soft and is particu-
larry effective in stock collars.
Fine laces will be used for trimming
gowns Of india muslin. 1t is a novel do
cree Of fashion that coarse laoes are most
suitable for use on brocaded taffetas and
similar fabrics.
The fancy pompadour silks are made
up into exceedingly dainty parasols.
These come in pink, blue, yellow and
white grounds, with chine printed gar
lands strewn over the surface.
Some Of the new styles are hideous,
one in particular with deep collar and
very wide revers crossing the front in
surplice fashion. These revers are trim
med with enormous rosettes, large
enough for sauce plates.
Skirts are showing moro trimming

scallops, the points Of the scallops fin
ished with rosette bows Another skirt
has q 10 inch, fiat, side plated 'ruffle.

A SUBJECT RACE.

They knew not whence the tyrant came;
They did not even know his name.
Yet he compelled them one and all
To bow in bondage to his thrall.
And from their lips Allegiance wrung'
Although stranger to the'r tongue
Whilst he Was wrapped IN royal state
Their hours Of toll were long and late'
No moment could they call their own
Within the precincts OF the throne,
And when they dreamed their work was

He only made them slave tho more.
Although the conquering king was no
or people who had once been free,
No word of praise or promise fell
From him his subjects served so well.
And none of those who crowned him lord
Received shadow of reward.
Obedience to his behest
Destroyed their peace, disturbed their rest
Yet when his drowsy eyes grew dim
No mortal dared to waken him.
They stole about with stealthy tread

THE AMERICAN INDIAN.

Many dictionaries of the Indian
tongues were made by the early French
and Spanish monks.
The Indians of the gulf coast made q
sort Of beer, while in Mexico the pulque
or fermented sap of the maguey was
used.
Tho Peruvian method Of recording
events was a system Of knotted cords.
It is, however, claimed by some that
these were merely used as helps to the
memory.
The early explorers found the Indians
engaged in constructing defensive works,
as mounds. bitches and entertainments,
the remains Of which, at later day,
were attributed to prehistoric races.
The Indian custom of scalping slain
enemy is ono common to many nations
in an early state Of development. 1t
was practiced by the Scythians and 9TH
er barbarous nations Of Europe in an
Gent times.
Indian agriculture was confined to a
few plants, all Of very easy cultivation
and mostly indigenous to the soil. H.
dian corn, squashes, beans, plantains,
cassava, tobacco and two or three others
exhaust the list.
The bow and arrow, darts and spears,
sort of flint sword, the lasso, the blow
pipe, the club and stone balls attached
to ropes formed the Indian arsenal of
weapons, while shields and occasional
coats of mail made Of rawhide were the
main defense.
The acuteness Of the wild Indians in
following trail was almost miracu-
lous. After following it for few miles
they were generally able to tell exactly
how many persons were Of the party,
together with numerous personal pecul-
iarities of the individuals composing
it.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

This lecture is strictly non-partisan and
is wholly in the interests of the silver
cause. Comments upon Mr.. Bryan's elo-

are unnecessary. Although a young
man, he has already a national reputa-

the most gifted man in the last Con-
gress.
Admission to the lecture Will be free
to all except those who care to pay
twenty-five cents for reserved seat,
which can be had in any part of the
house. The finance committee of the BIZ
metallic union have pledged $4,000 to the
bimetallic fund, and are mourning other
expenses in the cause, and the commit

would be glad to assist in raising the

purpose of furthering the interests of
the entire Republican party; work
that it is doing the best it knows how.
The chairman OF the city committee
has co-operated with US; the chairman
of the county committee has worked
with us in this matter and we ratify.
We ratify. We ratify. The 800 members
of this club stand as a wall behind
the members of the executive COM

And as a result the club will hold
its meeting just the same From the
responses which are being received
from leading Republicans, it appears
that it will be a success, from a Re
publican standpoint.
But it is easy to see where the OBJ
lection came from. Although the Trib-
une claims a victory for the gang in
the nomination of Heber M. Wells, it
is a fact that members of the Oquirrh
club saw a chance to do little fine
work in the interest of uniting the
warning factions and made the selec-

the credit and is jealous of the strong
organization which has fed it the
largest and most nauseating dose of
crow any aggregation ever swallowed
and it is with wry face the outfit is
taking its dose.
