No passage OF McKinley's letter OF ac-
ceptance will have more effect upon the
minds of rejecting men than that in which
be quoted from Harrison's last message to
show the condition of the country under
Republican rule, and from Cleveland's s
first message to show what followed the
election OF a free-trade administration.
The two messages spoke for themselves.
The contrast was striking. No intelligent
man needs any better argument to con-
vince him of the folly of free trade.

Oranges and Lemons.

Lemons, with their powerful acid, are
most helpful frequently in relieving a bill
ious condition. A whole lemons juice
pressed into a glass of hot or cold water,
with or without sugar, and taken before
one or two meals or at bed time will often
work wonders for "A torpid liver. Such
may be the treatment the first day or two
in a marked attack of this nature; then for
a few days a half lemon in water will be
enough at one time. Thereafter one or
two oranges each day will nave the milder
effect desired. In midwinter nice little
oranges may be had at from 10 to 90 cents
a dozen, which are especially adapted for
such use, as the juice may be easily pressed
from these oranges into the mouth, the

Wagner Made His Living.

1t is true that in his early years Wag-
ner's earnings We're very small, but when
he had made a name for himself he was
able to command very substantial sums.
He sold the copyright-not the performing
right-of his "Parsifal" for about go, 600,
which was perhaps the largest sum ever
paid to a composer for q single opera, while
for the four dramas in "Der Ring DIES
Nibelungen" he was paid e2, 900. From
the American ladies who wished an or
chestral march for a centenary celebration
he obtained a little over 81, 600 and it is
calculated that his regular income during
the last years of his life was about e5, 600

very often in difficulties, but he explained
the matter himself when he said: "By

How the Gulf Is Filling Up.

In the years to come the biographies
will make no mention of the gulf of Mex
leo, but will picture an immense tract of
hoe land in its stead, the map being prob
ably provided with a footnote something
like this: "Note-There is a tradition that
this level tract of swamp land was once a
billowy sea several hundred miles long,
embracing all that country between Mex
leo and Cuba on the west and east and
Yucatan II Louisiana on the south and
north" This state of affairs is being
gradually but surely brought about by the
Mississippi and other United States rivers,
which annually deposit millions of tons of
sediment in the CUFFS bottom. Expert
photographers declare that the Mississippi
alone annually deposits mud sufficient in
the gulf to cover n square mile of its
bottom to Il thickness of 240 feet.-St.
Louis Republic.
