Bogus Mexican Dollars.

Specimens of the so-called Mexican
dollars which the McKinleyites have
been using as arguments against free
silver have been sent to the Mexican
secretary of the treasury, who pro.
nounces them fraudulent. 1t is not
surprising that the McKinleyites
have been passing them at discount,
1t the fellows who have been dealing
in this counterfeit money are ever
caught in Mexico they will find
trouble.
The republican national committee
has succeeded in selling 100000 Of
these counterfeit Mexican dollars
They received 100000 for them
nearly all of which is net profit. They
have put this in their campaign fund
By this illegal and criminal transa
ton they have robbed American
workmen of 100000. This is what
they term an argument in favor O

WANDERING

Michael R. gan, of Middletown,
Conn, has bulldog that has quite
history. Nearly year ago the dog
was given to one of Mr.. Regau's
friends in Portland on account OF his
pueilistic tendencies. He was in the
habit of spending good share OF his
time on Main street, where he would
attack every dog that came his way
regardless of size. He had been
clubbed by almost every policeman in
the city, but they did not succeed IN
keeping him out of the ring. After
spending about week in Portland.
he returned home and began terroriz'
ing the Midddletown CANNES as be-
fore. He was then presented to man
in Westfeld, where he remained long
enough to "whip" every dog IN the
village, and then he made his appear
ance at his former home. A few weeks
afterward he was put on board OF o
schooner, and when the vessel sailed
Mike, as the dog was called, was
passenger. This occurred about ten
months ago, and Mr.. Regsn long since
decided that he had succeeded in get
ting rid of the dog. . He was more
than surprised Monday morning to
see the dog return after his long alb
sence. Where he LETT the vessel is a
mystery, but from his tired appear
ance when he arrived he had come 6
long way. The vessel when last heard
from was in New York, bound for Vir-
ginia. Hartford Times.

A Novel Funeral Procession.

1 was walking along the canal the
other day when my attention was at
tracted by novel funeral procession.
Four little boys, the Oldest about ten
years of age, and the youngest a
fodder of two or three summers, were
crying as though their hearts were
broken. The Oldest was drawing a
small hand wagon, which contained a
bundle. Following this were the other
three boys in line. Each had upon his
arm a strip of black calico, while the
wagon was decorated with the same
material. 1 stopped them and asked
what the matter was. 'It's funeral,
sir" said the oldest boy; "our little
dog died yesterday" Then lifting the
little bundle from the wagon ne threw
it into the canal, and the four broth
ers put their arms around each other,
gave way to a grief as real as any they
will ever know, for the dog was their
playmate and they loved him as they
did each other. And as the boys slow.
ly wended their ways back home. J
could see that there would be but lit
tie play for them that day. Washing

The Tadpole in Science.

At the close of the last century Gal
vani astonished the world with the ex-
periments he performed on frogs.
There is no doubt but what his work,
SO far as development of engineering
was concerned, almost retarded the
progress, at least for very short
time; but he has opened field which
to future generations may be of as
much, possibly of more importance
than all the practical applications of
electricity today. We refer to the
physiological effects of the electric
currents.
Now, as we approach the end of an
other century, another experiment on
tadpoles has been made, which in our
minds eye may have tremendous con-
sequence. DR.. Waller has observed
that tadpoles face the positive pole
when an electric current is sent
through the trough in which they live.
This is certainly remarkable fact,
and we hope sincerely that this mat
ter may not be taken up as matter of
ridicule, or of play, for there may be
hidden in this simple experimental
fact vast deal of knowledge; not
that we want to prophesy, but on the
face of it it does not seem impossible
that this simple fact should be the
commencement of a knowledge Of
eleetro.physfofog5y; which >in a hun
dred years from now might IN PeEtec-
tion be second to none of our descrip-
tive sciences. Osterberg in Elec-

One of FIELDS Last Letters.

The Music 1hawed Ont.

"Well," said he, 81 am not joker,
but upon the subject of this evening
I may be able to impart some informa-
tion concerning the Northwest. The
firm of which am q member owns a
large wheat farm in Manitoba. 1t is
a fine wheat section, but the climate
is too variable to suit me. My farm
is thirty miles north of Winnipeg, and
by the time wheat ripens there is fre.
quently c,.d wave that freezes not
only the wheat, but turns all of the
whisky into ice, which makes it Inn
possible to induce men to work in the
field, stimulants being necessity
there. Last fall I went to the farm,
and, having nothing to do but watch
the men, whiled away the time with
a harmonicon, upon which I am some
what of an expert. The men had
climbed the wheat stalks and were
picking tine gruin,T wiriiiivI-pl played d-sotoe-
well-knuwn tunes. Suddenly bllz-
zard struck us-the men fell to the
ground, and, piling them into the
wagons, covered them with ice in or
der to thaw out the frozen places, a nd
got them to the house. I had warmed
myself up by blowing the harmonicon'
and kept it up, but it made no sound,
the sir being frozen too tightly for
there to be any vibration. The bliz-
zard lasted for three weeks, but one
morning the sun came out, and !!
started down the road had traversed
from the wheat field to go to town and
take train for Chicago. After l had
gone about mile I heard strains OF
music, but could see no one playing.
It seemed oil around me, and the
tunes were those 1 had tried to play
when caught in the blizzard. The
strains continued until l reached the
point where we had started from, and
then 1 realized that the air was thaw-
ing, and the notes that had frozen
into the atmosphere were being llber-
ated. ."-Washington Star.

Children at the Table.

Children should always meet with
the father, mother and older members
of the family at the table and never
made to wait, even if company is pres
emit. The child that has been taught,
fsnot to do this or that when q visitor
is at the table" cannot be depended
upon to do the right thing at the right
time, but the child that has learned
table manners by imitation, will not
mortify its parents by any misbeha-
vior. It is impossible for child that
is in the habit of eating carelessly sud
denly to reform and don company
manners. A child should be made
comfortable at the table; the chair
should be of the proper height, the
knife, fork and spoon of suitable size.
Children should not lead the con-
versation; they should be taught never
to interrupt their elders, but they
should be allowed to assist in the con-
yersation which will teach them to e1-
press their thoughts intelligently, and
parents, should see that they use. the
best language.
The pleasures of meal are certainly
added to by the presence of the little
ones; and yet we have been present
when the meal time was made very
disagreeable, because the children
must be scolded and even whipped.
II we want our children at all times to
appear well bred, we must discourage
the idea that there are company man
ners and every day manners. There is q
great difference between the genuine
good manners and society tgood
form" Good manners don't change.
Children can be early taught to eat
quietly; to avoid noises in swallowing
and chewing: to use the fork and not
the knife, that with the fingers can be
taken bread, fruits and cake; the
proper use of the napkin, and that
they are not to display any marked
likes or dislkes. Older members of
the family should-b be as polite to each
other and to the children as to any
guest, then you will not be haunted
bo the fears that in some unguarded
moment the children will bring them
selves and you to disgrace; for table
manners "are sure indications OF So
cial; mental and moral culture. -

The Kola Nut.

The kola nut, which found its ori-
gin in Central Africa, and which has
become famous throughout the world
as an invaluable addition to medical
science, is to be introduced on the
east coast.
The kola tree grows to q heigth OF
about forty feet, and one tree has been
known to produce crop of from 500
to 800 pounds. Each pod generally
contains four seeds, fifty of which will
make one quart, or one and one quar-
ter pounds, which is sold at $l.00 per
pound and upwards.
The first fruiting occurs five years
from planting, but the maximum yield
is not reached until the ninth or tenth
year.
The tree Aourishes in moist, hot
lands, at or little above sea level.
The medical properties of kola are
many and of the greatest value to
medical science.
The great value of kola is due to
the presence of certain alkaloids, theo-
bromine and caffeine, together with
the new and powerful principle known
as kolanin.
The stimulating and sustaining pow
ers of coffee and cocoa are we'll known,
and kola contains not only large per-
centage of their characteristic aka
loids, but also kolanin, whose physi-
illogical effects are more powerful and
lasting than either caffeine or theo-
bromine, while at the>same time it is
free from the objections urged against
cocaine. In view of these deductions,
therefore, kola must be accepted as
valuable addition 10 our materia med
lea.
Because OF its sustaining powers
kola is used by the natives when long
continued exertion is demanded and
little food obtainable; hence we are
led to believe that this peculiar prop
erty is similar to that of cocoa. That
it lessons tissue waste is shown by the
diminished excretion of urea.
The effect of kola upon the circulat-
ing system is that of tonic stimulant,
the pulse being increased in strength
and frequency.
The kola tree resembles somewhat
the chestnut. Despite the fact that it
prefers the moist climate of the coast,
it has been found 500 miles in the in
terror.

the United States that is suitable for
