A strange custom is still observed in
Roumania which reminds one strongly
of Robinson Crusoe. When a servant
has displeased his or her master, the
offender takes his boots in his hand
and places them before the bedroom Of
his master. 1t is a sign Of great sub
mission, and the boots are either kick
ed away as an intimation that the
fault will not be forgiven, or else the
servant is told to place them on his
feet, which shows that he is forgiven.

wheel and keep pushing. Incidentally

ma democratic state central committee

enue collectors, marshals and other
United States officers will not block the
march of silver. Half of the delegation
from Michigan. and perhaps more. will
be silver men. Democrats in other

motion at once. They should hold con-

There is perhaps no more fascinating
era OF history than that of Napoleon,
and the present work gives as accurate
an insight into the character of the
great emperor and as faithful and
thrilling a description of his meteoric
career. as were ever penned. Three
hundred illustrations lend additional
xest and relish to the fascination of the
text. This superb book is offered with
six months subscription to the

WEAK ON SILVER

In a letter to the Standard. Charles
Q. Johnson explains that the silver
"bolting" resolution introduced by him
in the republican convention Thursday
was not withdrawn by him. but that a
"cowardly make-shift" was substituted
for IL by the committee without his
consent
There is no reason to doubt the cor
rectness of Mr.. Johnson's explanation
of the way his resolution was disposed
of. and II is but just to Mr.. Johnson
that the explanation be given. wher-
ever the fault may lie. II is TO be re-
GREETED that Mr.. johnson or some one
else did not force an expression of opin-
Ion on that point. However those In

outside the republican ranks will re-
greet that the proposition of walking
out of the national convention was not
forced to a vote and the sentiment of
the county convention obtained on this
point.
1t appears at this stage that II will
require mighty hard work by the true
friends Of silver tomorrow to get the
republican state convention to take a
very strong stand on silver. Some of
the most prominent republican news
papers of the state are speaking more
and more weakly on that subject each

THE LATEST FROM MARS.

The world is under obligations to
Camille Flammarion, the French as
tronomer, for keeping it informed of all
the latest news, so far as IL is obtaina-
BILE. of the planet Mars. II is alto
gether probable that the people of Mars
know a great deal more about us than
we know about them, for M. Flamma-
rion is positive that Mars is more adj
vanced in planetary life than is this
world. and that 1t is inhabited by be-
ings more intelligent and more perfect
every way than the inhabitants of this
terrestrial ball. sg
The French scientist presents his lat
est conclusions in the May number of
the North American Review. He says
his progress is necessarily slow, but he
expresses the belief that the time Is
cation with Mars. NJ. Fiammarion
holds that the atmosphere of Mars Is
extremely rarified and that 1t Is doubt
less a little cooler than that of the
earth. The Marian meteorology is less
complicated and more pleasant than
that of the earth. the weather being al
most wholly fine especially in the sum-
mer. The normal condition of Mars is
fine weather the year around. The
Frenchman inclines to the theory of
Lowell. the Boston astronomer, that
the lines seen on Mars are gigantic ir-
rigation canals. The poles are covered
with snow in the winter. The SHOWS
melt in the summer and form shallow
seas, the water from which is distrib-
uted by an ingenious system of canals,
natural or artificial, or a combination
of both, over the whole surface of the
continents. The effect of this vast sys-
tenn of irrigation is seen in the grad
ual spread of dark color betokening
vegetation. AS the summer grows older
the waters evaporate, the beds of the
canals become dry and their course is
marked by parallel lines like the track
of a railway, these being the strips of
vegetation along the banks. The evap-
Grated water is condensed to the cold
polar regions, which re-collect 1t in the
state of snow
