A PUZZLE IN POLITICS.

The Picayune has enjoyed call from
DR.. Theodore Barth of Berlin, Prussia.
member of the German reichstag, or
imperial German parliament.
This gentleman, who is close and
careful observer, and evidently a devot-
cd student of political philosophy, is TAX
ing notes on the present political cam
paign in the United States, and observes
with curious interest and not little aston
ishment several very remarkable features
in the situation.
He sees that the silver movement is an
attempt at Il political and financial revo-
luton upon basis of socialism, and he
finds it most strange that there should
be a powerful socialistic revolt against
a governmental system in which every
male citizen has vote in the choice of
officials, and in which every such citizen
is eligible for and may aspire to any of
fee of honor, authority or other public
function in the republic. In govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people, why should there be any
revolt by the people themselves!
1t was also quite strange to this gen
tleman that the people should be striv-
nv and degrade its yalue.

trame socialists whatever other noliti-

Daylight at the Ocean Bottom.

In very clear water sunlight pene-

obtained by means Of Photographic

Transparency of the water; the Medi.
terranean being famed for the clear
ness of it's water, admits light to a
greater depth than is the case where
the water is less transparent. Usually,
the light of the sun $50 feet below the
surface of the ocean is no more than
that of the moon, while at. the depth
of 300 feet it is scarcely equal to the
glimmer of twilight, and at 600 feet in
many parts of the ocean there is per-
petual darkness. Near Mindora, in the
Indian ocean, the spotted corals are
plainly visible under $50 feet of water.
The Caribbean sea is of crystalline
clearness, objects being discernible on
the bottom at a very great depth

THE NATIVE QUESTION.
In South Africa Ceased to Worry Col
onial or Imperial Statesmen.

Since the breaking up of the Zulu
Matabele powers, the native question,
once so formidable in South Africa, and
still perhaps likely to give occasional
trouble has ceased to be an anxiety to
colonial or imperial statesmen. Even in
Gazaland the feeble Portuguese govern
mcnt has been able to deal successfully
with Gunbunhama, and southeast Af-
RIGA is practically freed altogether from
the curse of the descendants of Most
likatse, the quondam Attila of this part
of the world. Yet this result has not
been gained without terrible expendi-
ture. To say nothing of the more re-
cent wars with Cetewayo and Kreli, the
home government was throwing mil
lions of money broadcast over South
Africa i'm the SOS.
Sir William Wordsworth once stated
in parliament (July 81, 1850 that our
military expenditure at the Cape then
amounted to C 100000 or C 100000 pcr
annum as a standing dish, whereas the
last Kaffir outbreak Immediately sent
inc DIii uP W IL ispOo,oOo PEI dhiiujIi'
Besides being costly, the five or six
Kaffir campaigns of this century have
been extremely vexatious and inglori-
Gus, from the high military point Of
view. The foe was always insidious
and crafty, and it was never easy TO
clear the valleys of the Kei and Fish riv-
ers, or to sweep through the Amatolas.
But it was work that had to be done on
the confines of our gradually growing
empire, and it was generally done well.
At the same time it had to be done as
carefully as possible, for the philan-
thrcpic party at home was always on
the lookout for atrocities, and, IN the
case of the Glenelg policy, worked
round an absolutely unwise reversal

MOMENTS FRIENDSHIP.
1t Sometimes Takes the Place of Hus-
band and Children.

band and Children.
The healthy, latter-day independence
ofwomen is more closely connected with
their friendship than most people rec
ognize. The latter part of this age
has seen many unexpected develop
ments of our sex. There is the bachelor
woman, the club woman and the bicy-
cling woman, not to speak of many who,
by reason of varied occupations and in
terest in some calling or profession by
which they maintain themselves, have
learned to look on matrimony as beau
tiful incident, which occurs in some
lives, not necessarily theirs, nor need
it be demanded for their happiness,
prosperity or general contentment.
Failing marriage, many clear-headed
girls have found cordial friendship
for one of their sex, if not substitute,
an excellent institution. Such friend
ship has something exhilarating and
healthy in it. There is companionship
without the ties that bind the wife and
mother so firmly-some one who can
be consulted and yet whose advice need
not be followed; some one who can
sympathize with daily struggles and
with unceasing aspiration. Verify, the
healthy, cheerful woman, who dwells
with her friend, who thinks naught of
going alone with her to theater or re-
ception, who earns q pleasant liveli-
hood and is neither "cribb'd, cabin'd
nor cotfin'd" by household duties, is
not a being to be tenderly pitied, even
if she is living her life without the
highest joys of the deep, trusting love
of husband and the passionate pleas
ure at the touch of baby fingers, the
grasp of little one who is all her own,
her contribution to the great human
i race.
In the rush and fret Of life the woman
who is one of large family, each men,
Der of which has claim on her, has
scarce opportunity to form one of those
elevating, steady friendships which
serve to broaden and develop on each
side. The single woman, the recog-
nized bachelor woman" who, in our
mental fancy, is distinct from the slight
ingly-described "spinster," makes the
best friend and confidante. She it is
who stands by her friend "in sickness
and in SORROW" helps her through the
dark days, enjoys her triumphs and be-
lieves in her aspirations and loves as
Jonathan loved David. Happily there
is an extensive law of compensation in
this world, and the women who never
wear the crown of household queens,
but love one another with ever-steady
devotion which nothing can diminish,
have enjoyed one of the beautiful things
of this life.-London Lady.

FINANCIAL.
STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 6.-The speculation IN
stocks today was of the scantiest proper
tions and the movement from more tnan
one point of view appeared to indicate
that the bears were attempting to force
prices down with considerable care so as
TO extend their outstanding contracts.
The failure of London to respond to the
Improvement that prevailed at our clos
ing on yesterday excited a selling lnfiu-
ence at the outset. The bears were en-
couraged to test the market, and prices
receded fractionally all around. sup
porting orders appeared at the low points
and a slightly higher range resulted.
Manhattan and Sugar were in the great,
est request, chiefly by the bears, ana
gained 1 Is to l per cent respectively
Renewed depression occurred, however,
although the firmness of some or me
high-priced shares excited comment 10
bacco, in particular, advanced per cent
to 81 IL. The list. as Il whole, Sagged
in the afternoon, but the losses dld not
exceed fractions, except in Manhattan
which sold off / "a per cent and To
bacco / Il per cent from the respective
high points. The closing was weak at
general fractional declines.
Railroad bonds were fairly active, but
were without special feature. Sales,

NEW YORK.

New York, Oct 6.-The cotton market

buyers orders followed and the market
advanced 6 to points, local covering as
sisting the rise. The market again
turned weak on bearish crop accounts.
Reports from spot markets in the south

lower prices. During the afternoon
shorts were about the only buyers. The

THE BEST SPRING MEDICINE

is SIMMONS LIVER REGULAToR-don't forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish during the Winter, just like all nature, and the system becomes ehoked up by the accumulated waste, which brings on Malaria, Fever and. Ague and Rheuma- tism. You want to wake up your Liver now, but be sure you take SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR to do it. It also regulates the Liver-keeps it properly at work, when your system will be free from poison and the whole body invigorated.
 You get THE BEST BLOOD when your system is in Al condition, and that will only be when the Liver is kept active. Try a Liver Remedy once and note the difference. But take only SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR is SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR which makes the difference. Take it in powder or in liquid already prepared, or make a tea of the powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER REGU- LATOR. You'll find the RED z on every package. Look for it.

BRIDAL SUPERSTITION.
Some Curious Ideas Descended from
 Past Generations.


 There are many superstitions sur rounding the bridal day, some having descended from semi-barbaric times when every tremble ot leaf or every change in the weather portended good or evil. According to old ideas, brave is the girl who will consent to be wed on Friday, or during the month oi May, while June, September, October and December smile graciously upon her, barring always the 18th day o- every month.
 Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were considered the best days to be married on, if assurance of happiness is desired, for
 Monday for wealth,
 Tuesday for health,
 Wednesday the best day of all
 Thursday for crosses,
 Friday for losses,
 Saturday no luck at all.
 A bride elect is happ.-, truly, if the sunshines upon the great day, for "blest is the bride upon whom the doth shine" And another adage says: To change the name and not the letter, is change for the worse and not the better.
 From the immemorial among the Jews the fourth day of the week was unlucky for maidens and the fifth for widows. The ancient Romans looked askance on the nones and ides of each north.
 Dreadful, indeed, is the postpone ment of wedding even in this prac- tical age. Many are welded on bed of pain or in house of mourning rather than change the day.
 Of undaunted courage was she who dared don the bridal fnery in it's en- tirety before the hour of the ceremony as death and dire misfortune was sup posed to follow.
 The right shoe must be put on first for if the bride draws on the left shoe by mistake she will have an unhappy married life.
 Something old and something new something borrowed and something blue," must always be followed: anc also bride must have care not t( peep at herself in mirror after she i completely gownod. No complet' black costume is allowable, as tha dressing must be thrown away.
 Another idea was this: To try on wedding ring before the ceremony unpropitious. Should the shaking hand of the groom drop this symbo of love in the act of putting it on tn brides finger the ceremony had bette be stopped right there. To lose 1t l prophetic of evil, and many fancy t remove it after it is placed on the fin ger is unlucky.
 The breaking of a wedding ring l surely prophetic of the death of one c the married twain, according to ol legends.
 There is an explanation to the su perstition:
