THE BRYAN HOME IN LINCOLN, NEB.
July 80, 1890. he was nominated for
congress and wrote platform on which
he ran. Nobody but himself thought he
could be elected. He stumped the dis
trict on the tariff issue and won fame
as political orator throughout the
state.
He was a remarkable campaign ora
tor. Being young man barely 30 years
Of age, and a resident Of the state but
three years, and without money to use
in the contest, he overturned a plurality
of 8, 400 given his opponent two years
before and rolled up a plurality of 8, 713
fer himself.
In speaking of Bryan's power as an
orator, an admirer once said:
Bryan neglects none of the Access
sorias of oratory. Nature richly lowered
him with rare grace. He is happy in at
titude and pose. His gestures are on
Hogarth's line of beauty. Mellifiuous is
the word that most aptly describes his
voice. 1t is strong enough to be heard
by thousands; it is sweet enough to
charm those least inclined to music. 1t
is SO modulated as not to vex the ear
with monotony, and can be stern or pa
thetic, fierce or gentle, serious or hui
r'orous with the varying emotions of
its master. "

SIR JULIAN GoLDsMID, one of the best
known and most charitable Hebrews in
England and a member of parliament died
last week.
DURING the first raid of General Gomez
in Matanzas, Cuba, over five million tons of
sugar cane were burned, besides scores of
valuable buildings and tons of machinery.
Two severe earthquakes that caused the
loss of LOO lives occurred recently in the
Khalkhal district of Persia The first shock
completely destroyed the village of Zanza-
bad and partly destroyed other villages.
Three hundred persons persisted in the
several villages. Three days later there
was another severe shock, which destroyed
the small town of Col and did great damage
in many of the villages in the district
affected, Eight hundred persons We're killed
in Col alone. Large numbers of cattle and
sheep perished
A VERY jubilant feeling is reported at La
Guayra. Venezuela, because of the action of
the United States government in appoint
ing an arbitration commission to take action
in regard to the Venezuelan boundary dis
pute. 1t was reported at La Guayra that
81 600 600 had been raised in New York for
the Venezuelan cause and would be at once
forwarded TO Caracas. A strong feeling
against Great Britain is evinced on every
hand, and bands of students and others
parade the streets of the capital, singing
and carrying American flags. A large
American ensign floats from the highest
hag-mast in La Guayra.
ALFRED AUSTIN, the ne W poet laureate of
England, has been pouting at his American
cousins In reply to request that he sign
the address of British literary men to Ameri
can authors, asking the latter to do all in
their power to prevent a war between Great
Britain and the United States, he writes
processing admiration and respect for the
American government and people, but say
ing that their recent attitude was unfair and
unfriendly. He therefore, at the present
moment, cannot approve of body Of Eng
lishmen addressing body of Americans in
language which might be construed as sa-
voring of timorous complaisance.

Czewertinoska, the beautiful mistress of
Alexander of Russia, who plunged her
self every morning into the contents of n

simply perfect as skin feeder.
Marie Antoinette's bath, which was
prescribed by her doctor, was a compound
of aromatic herbs mixed with handful
of salt. She took it cold in summer and
tepid in winter. Later on MN. Talien
had brought every morning to her house
twenty pounds of Strawberries and two
pounds of raspberries, which were
mashed in her bath of warm milk and
water Another preparation used by
Eastern women is a compound of barley,
rice, bOrrage, thyme and marioram
