How the Pops Feel

Wheeling News, Aug. H.
Among the Populists in attendance al
the Democratic convention this week
was w. Scott Garner of Preston county.
Speaking of the reception accorded their
proposal to unite the free silver forces of
the state this fall he said:
1--WE have passed through the expert
enee of the boy who found skunk
while out rabbit hunting, but We'll get
the perfume off our garments on Nov.
3, when Watts name is buried beneath
the snow of adverse ballots that will
fall all day. The Democratic party al
ways did have genius for laundering,
and their luck still attends them. | am
unable to account for our treatment be-
fore that convention. it can not be ex-
planned on any rational theory, and / dc
not claim to comprehend it, We were
sat down upon hard. however, and we
feel very sore. I"

The picture entitled A Forerunner'
is an academy figure, mavelously well

A nervous condition bordering on
prostration, to which the doctors have
not as yet given a name, has lately
been observed to affect persons who
work many hours day high up in the
modern skysorapers. The ailment re-
sembles nervous prostitution. except in
the principal symptom. which is con-
dition OF intense restlessness and, as one
of the victims to the new complaint ex-
pressed it, "a singular desire TO scream
Or to get down to the earth quickly
A sensation of relief is noticeable
when the patient is taken to grass, SO
to speak, which beads some physicians
to the belief that the change in the
rarity Of the air. slight as it is, has a
peculiar effect upon certain very sensi-
tive organizations. Others think that
the constant trips in the elevators cause
a slight disarrangement of the nerve
centers, which brings on the condition
referred to. In any case, there is no
doubt that new, ailment has come
among us with the. advent of the sky
scraper. --Nsw York journal.

The British government has been drawn
to il.
The supply wing ct new crews at Buenos
Ayres is left in the hands Of certain
boarding house keepers. and it invari-
ably happens that no hands can be OBJ
tanned ut all while the vessels are lying
in dock. # they could, the men would
be shipped before the British consul.
and then matters wonld be pat right.
The mode Of procedure is to let the
steamer leave the dock. and while in
the river the sailors ard fire1nen-the
new men-are brought off in small
boat, apparently IN state of drunken
ness. The master has no choice but 10
take the men, and the shipping agent or
boarding house keeper gets fee Of
about 10 shiliings for each man.
In the case of one steamer cited it is
alleged that the men of the original
crew were bribed TO leave the ship, and
when she was going ont the captain
found that all the new hands had been
drugged before they came ON board and
were unable to do any work. For IL
hours the steamer had to come to an
anchor. and when the men regained
their senses they went to the captain
and told him their signatures to their
advance notes had been obtained from
them fraudulently. The captain, being
anxious to help the men, applied to tho
British consul who for some reason was
anable to take up the case. The system
iarried ON is one not only Of expense to
the shipownsr, bat also Of danger to
the ship.-London Chronicle.

The Flight of Geese.

Wild geese conduct their migration
in an extremely methodical fashion.
The birds form themselves into lines
shaped like an old fashioned drag or
one behind the other. There are always
distinct leaders, but these very soon
tire, and By careful watching with a
glass one may see the leaders drop back
and others take their places. It has been
suggested that this arrangement is on
the principle of ticket Office window,
and that all of the gamblers successfully
take the leadership. When weary, they
fall back to the rear and others come
mp. If the flock is scattered by shot or
accident. they may Immediately form
again. New York Ledger,

After the Long Arctic Night.

The inhabitants of the little villages
In the arctic circle have nearly three
months of steady night. 1t is the annual
custom that on the day when the sun
rises above the horizon after the long
season of darkness the inhabitants all
stand in line, facing the returning orb,
md greet it with military salute. No
other effect than that Ct paleness of CONF
plexion Is discernible in the natives aft
er this long time at night, The pallor
soon passes away With the suns return.
In Bodo the sun can be seen at midnight

,een as early as May Ii or 16.--New
