BRAVE KING JOHN.
The Predecessor of DIeneIek Was KILLED
In Battle.

In Battle.
[ was reading Slatin Pasha's new
book, EFire and Sword in the Soudan, .
the other day, and came across several
descriptions OF the battles between the
AbySsinians and the followers of the
niahdi, which make very pertinent read
ing just ut present in view of the dis
aster the arms OF Italy have met in
fighting with King Menelek's army
LIS description of the death in battle of
King john, King Menelclts predecessor,
is worth quoting as showing the brav-
cry Of the tribe. The battle was at Gal
labat and the Abyssinians were the at
itacking party. Their army was di-
yided into two portions, one made up OF
King Johns own tribes, the Tigre, to-
gether with Menelek's troops, and the
other of the Amhara tribes legions.
On attacking the city the latter soon
broke through the deryishes' lines, and
lad they attacked the garrison, instead
of stopping to loot and pillage the
houses, they would have quickly won n
victory. Slatin Pasha writes:
king john, who was in his tent, hay
ing received news that the Anhara,
whom he had frequently accused of
eowardice, had succeeded in entering
the lines, while his own tribe, the Tigre,
had failed, fell into passion, and.
ordering his followers to carry him on
his scat--a small gold augareb covered
with cushions and carpet-he was
brought into the midst of the fighting
line. The Mahdists, noticing a crowd
of followers clad in velvet and gold, di-
rected their fire on them, and when
King John had almost reached the de-
lenses he was struck by bullet, which,
breaking his right arm above the elbow,

and was carried to the rear by his fol-
lowers, who had suffered great loss.
The news that he was wounded spread
among his troops like wildfre; and,
though on the point of success, they
retired. On. the evening of the 9th of
March, 1889, King John expired in his
tent. An effort was made to keep his
death secret; but the news gradually
leaked out and the Amhara, deserving
the camp in the night with all their
loot, returned to their homes."-N.. Y.

LANGUAGE OF TIE HAND.

/ KeyeiAIOn or CnardcLer Dy Q'NrpSnblB
ny's systeln of Chirognomy.
In d'Arpentigny's system of chirog-
nomy he divides the hands into seven
classes. The lowest type is the eiemen-
tary, or large-palmed hand, in which
the fingers are large and stiff, the thumb
short and generally turned back and the
pain big, thick and hard. It's posses
sors, according to this authority, are
devoid of enthusiasm and wanting in
resources and moral strength. Their
feelings are heavy and sluggish, their
iIuagiAations dull and their souls inert.
The apatulatsd type comes next in or
der, ard derives its name from the fact
that the finger ends are hattened and
broadened out after the manner of a
spatula This variety is rare in south
ern countries, having its origin in lati-
tutles where the severity of the climate
and the comparatively sterile nature
of the coil make unconventional locomo-
ton and the practice of those arts
which protect the physical weakness of
man necessary.
The comic hand has smooth fingers.
terminating in a cone or thimble, and
indicates a talent for the plastic arts
painting, sculpture and monumental
architecture. 1t also shows a poetic
imagination and love of the beauti-
fail in the solid and visible form, but it
denotes an aversion to rigorous deduc-
ton. It's owners are enthusiastic and
romantic, but are under the subsection
OF phantasy The square type is of
medium size and has the thumb large,
with the ball well developed, the palm
hollow and rather firm and the finger
tips square. To it belong prcsever-
ance, foresight and conventionality It's
owners are endowed with vigorous in
tclligence, but they are denizens of the
earth. They are without wings and
cannot soar.
In Gle knotty, or philosophic type,
the hnge; joints are well marked and
their ends terminate in half square,
half comic form. 'Have you such n
land?n says d'Arpentigny. know,
then, that it proclaiins genius, an in
elination toward speculative ideas, a
capacity for the higher philosophical
sciences and for the rigorous deduc-
lions of verbal argument. 1t eyinces
a love of the absolutely true, an inter-
est in things, advanced logic and poetry
of reason and of thought"
The pointed or psychic hand is the
most beautiful of all. 1t has medium
palm and smooth fingers, or fingers
with the joints only just perceptible.
Their upper phalange is long, and |
drawn out to a point, and the thumb is
small and elegant. To it belongs u
love OF contemplation, idealism, rcli-
gious feeling, Indifference TO material
interests, poetry of soul and OF heart, |
lyric inspiration, and a taste for all
things beautiful by their form and es
icnce, but particularly by the latter.
Should the hand be large, with joints
lightly visible, it indicates force, but
t also shows a lack of righteousness.
The mixed hand is the most confus-
ng, being q combination of two types.
Like the separate breeds of dogs, how
,yer, the different varieties cannot alter
themselves beyond a certain point. In
obedience to some occult force they are
brought back to their
original purity.-Philadelphia Times.

That Tariff Bunco Will Not Work.

The republicans who set the party pace
are in quandary. Their bulldozing for
gold standard and Sound money is not
working to their satisfaction, so they are
endeavoring to resurrect the tariff. They
do not reflect that Cleveland beat B1aire
in 1854 because the people were dissatls-
fed with falling prices and hard times
and desired change. They forget that
Harrison beat Cleveland i'll 1888, because
times grew worse during Cleveland's adj
ministration. They are entirely oblivious
of the fact that Harrison was beaten in
1892 because times were much worse
during his administration than they had
been during the first administration of
Cleveland. In 1884 the democrats got
ito power on the howl for trriff reform.
In 1888 Harrison achieved power on a
promise of more tariff. In 1892 Cleveland
achieved power on the promise of less
tariff. Now Mckinley is having boom
on the promise of higher tariff for
eastern manufacturers than ever existed
before, and the republicans ask us to give
them another chance to try tariff.-.S1l0er
Knight.
[These many trials ought to satisfy
any reasonable people that tariff is not a
cure for hard times whether high or low
And we think they are satisfied, and
mean to try more money made Of silver
and greenbacks.

Low Prices Against the Farmer.

Take the case of farmer with a S., 900
mortgage on his farm. With wheat at
$I.oo, corn at so cents, potatoes at so
cents and other things in proportion, his
crop might be worth, say $4,000 If we
suppose his total expenditure to be s., 600
he has 81 900 left to pay on his mortgage.
He can pay the debt in five years. If
prices are cut TO one-half his crop falls to
$3.50 and his expenses to 81 900, leaving
him only $500 to pay ON his debt. Instead
of paying it in five years it will take him
ten.
But as a rule it does not work so favor
ably as that. There are some things that
fall very little, and others that do not
come down any. Taxes, interest and
many other things are practically sta
tionary. So it may very easily happen
that the value of the crop will fall below
the cost of producing it, and as result
nothing can be paid on the debt. AS the
value of the product falls the value of the
fern itself declines, and upon foreclosure
the creditor takes it all.
The predominant characteristic of the
situation during the last twenty-five years
has been the distress of the producing and
debtor classes, while the non-producing
money loaning and fixed income classe:
have grown richer and richer, until the
accumulation of wealth at the great
money centres stands without parallel il
in the history of the world.-Bimetallists

If the figures of the director

If the figures of the director OF
the mint are reliable, the combined
annual silver product of all the
gold standard countries is less than
that of the United States while the
combined annual gold production
of the silver standard countries is
less than half that of Great Britain
and it's dependencies. Great
Britain therefore is the leading gold
standard country, while the United
States are giving their silver away
or selling it as old junk in place of
using it as money, and acting with
the wisdom of Great Britain by
making the most possible out of
their home products. From a mere
commercial point of view this would
be wise and if we add their refusal
to do this to the unwisdom of
destroying their money supply and
bonding the country to buy gold
from rival nation, the policy
appears in the light of astounding
ignorance or unparalleled teachery
on the part of there statesman,
and the latter, we in common with
thousands, believe it is.

GT don't understand This money

81 don't understand this money
question: is an expression heard
on all sides, and from people who
ought to be rather ashamed of the
fact. To all such who have not
mastered the science or philosophy
of money-one of the simplest in
the whole range of political economy
the pecuniary distress and whole
sale hard times which the present
gold standard system has brought
upon the industrial, producing
class, ought to be sufficient evidence
to all reasonable persons, that it is
the worst possible system that was
ever devised, and should be
abolished as speedily as possible
by abolishing any party that advo-
Gates it. Those who can't under
stand this money question fought
to be satisfied with facts which are
too plain to be misunderstood.

Grinding LabOr's Nose.

The best cartoon characteristic of
labor was recently in CoXey's
"Sound Money" paper. Labor had
furnished the grindstone and was
turning it. Shylock was holding
Labor's nose to the grindstore with
one hand while he picked his
pockets with the other. Cleveland
was grinding his axe while Carlisle,
Reed, Mckinley and others of the
goldbug family were standing by
with their axes waiting their turn
at the grindstone. Labor had not
only furnished the grindstone but
was turning it for the. convenience
of the others, while all he got was
his own nose ground. That picture
fits labor, which embraces all
farmers, mechanics, day workers,
etc., neater than anything yet pro-
duced. 1t represents this whole
crew that is running after the old
parties.

Your PHYSICAL Condition

Needs attention at this time. If you
are tired, weak and nervous, it is clear
that your blood is impure, and without
doubt there has been too much over-work
or strain on brain and body. The course
of treatment for such condition is plain
and simple. The blood must first be
purified so that the nervous system, and
i'll fact all the organs will be fed upon
pure blood. Intelligent people without
number have testified that the best blood
purifier, nerve tonic and strength impart-
ing medicine is Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Nervousness, loss of sleep and general
debility all Danish when Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is persstently taken; in word,
health and happiness follow after taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Cooperation.

There are within the last two or
three years more cooperative enter
prizes being established than ever
before, and on quite different plans
than formerly. The most of the
old cooperative schemes of the
past had some kind of a religious,
fantastic basis, and having no
foundation in common sense, and
thoroughly cranky brains as direct
ors and managers Of course soon
played out. The cooperative as
sociations that are now being started
are laid on practicable, business
lines and by apparently common
sense men. The hard times which
have fallen upon the people are
driving them together, to seek
mutual help, and this new effort Of
the industrial classes is giving
better promise of success than ever
before.

Hard to Get Together.

grandest exponent Appeal.
Now then, can the appeal tell us why
these thousands of converts" turned
Harrison out on account of hard times
under the full blaze of Mr.. Mckinley s
protection principles"
These goldbug yarns remind us of an
anecdote of an old Virginia gentleman
who was given to telling tough stories,
On one occasion he related hunting
yarn. He had shot a deer through the
hind foot and the head. Impossible
said the company. The old long bow had
a colored servant who always accom-
panied his master, and to whom he was
in the habit of appealing to confirm the
truth of his masters stories. Pompey
was accordingly called in to confirm the
deer story.
eyes sab, he did so shoot de deer thro'
de him foot and head You see, de deer
was scratchin' his ear wild his him foot
when massa fired" This plausible reason
satisfied the guests and saved his master
reputation for veracity. Pompey eau
toned his master after the company had
gone not to place his stories so far apart
as he had hard work getting that one
together.
The Appeal ought to look up some
smart darkey to get these protection"
yarns together. They appear as far apart
as the deer's hind foot and ear.

tracted brow. Your wife may have trials,
which, though of less magnitude, may be
