LABOR CRUCIFIED.

of the single gold standard
can be forced upon South
America and Asia, as it has
been since 1873 forced on
North America and Europe.
gold mast inevitably appreciate
to at least four times its pre-
sent absurd value; or to put it
otherwise, commodities must
decline to one-fourth of its pre-
senf price, and labor, all the
world over, be crucifed as ii
was never crucihed before-in
days of medieval serfdom OF
even chattel slavery. Such is
the contest. If the money lords
can force gold monometalism
apon the whole world, they
will succeed in establishing the
most gigantic moneyed aristo-
c-acy among the rich, and the
worst system of peonage serE

Hogs end Storms.

Hogs are always more restless than
usual on the approach Of lad weather,
and when these animals run to and fro
with mouthfuls OF straw, leaves or
branches the indication is for very foul
weather. IN their native state pigs prob
ably made their own beds, 0pd when
bad weather was Ioming perhaps gath
cred larger supply Of straw or leaves
than usual to serve as a protection
against the rain.

BoREs IN PARLIAMENT.
They Receive scant Courtesy Whom They
Are Guilty Of Bull.

Are Guilty OF Bull.
Parliamentary manners are brutal in
Westminster when a member in debate
is convicted of a ball. a speaker with
al expansive orntorioal manner recent
~ astonished tho commons with an out
burst of Unconscious humor He was
speaking Of tie ruin and exhaustion
wrought by Improvement in Ireland
and worked himself up into fire fren-
zy of excited defamation.
THE population Of Ireland" he sx-
claimed with flashing eyes ard out
stretched arms, has been decimated to
the extent of two-thirds.
The mathematical absurdity Of the
statement did not fail TO excite amuse-
ment. although the bull WAS less obvi-
Gus than similar one attributed to an
Irish member, Major O'Gorman.
'The population Of Ireland. said the
contentious major in the commons, 'is
6, 600, 600 less than it woald be IL 1t
were an uninhabited island"
That was a joke which provoked I'M
restrained merriment among the bench
ea. The Irish members are pardoned
many blunders, however, because they
are, with few exceptions, humorous
speakers, who enliven the tediuIh Of
debate with merry qpips and jests. The
bores, who are constantly speaking with
unvarying dullness and diffuseness, are
not spared when they make slips Of the
tongue.
A member who. in the course Of a
long, uninteresting speech, was careless
enough to say, 1.-The time has come and
is rapidly arriving" was greeted with 3
wild howl Of ridicule and delight from
the benches. He was dazed by the up
roar, not understanding what the hon.
orable members were laughing at, bat
his Inconsistencies and stupidity only
served to prolong and deepen the mer-
riment. It was the English parliamen-
tary method of furnishing bore.
Good jokes are rare in the house of
commons. A neat epigram exoites a
ripple of mirth, a flashing sarcasm stirS
movement Of pleasurable surprise,
but the loudest laughter follows some
stupid and inane commonplace from q
speaker toWhom the house is compelled
to listen too often.
81 would have proceeded to remark, u
said pompous debater. "if l had not
already anticipated and repeated my.
self 3"
The sentence could not be finished.
! There was a loud roar Of laughter,
which WAS prolonged and repeated when
the speaker attempted to go On with
his speech.
1t was cruel treatment, but possibly
it was wholesome discipline for garrn,
lous speaker who had exhausted tie pa.
tiencs of his audience on many oooa.

DIR. FRoLICH tells about sucker first
found in the Nile and it's tributaries by
modern scientific men in 1881, but well
known to the Egyptians as the sucker
thunderer god, being worshipped as
such in sucker god temple in the city
of the thunder sucker, or Oryrrhynchos.
The reason they called it the thunder
sucker, instead OF the thunder-fsh, was
because they knew of another fish,
known to English-speaking people as
the electric cat (fsh), and to the Ger
mans as the Ziterwels. It grows tn a
length of about foot, of which the head
and nose take up quarter, and at the
deepest part measures more than quar-
ter of it's length. A peculiar thing
about the various electrical fish is that
should one swim, even at considerable
distance from human bather, the bath
er would know of it's proximity by an
electrical sensation, while many of them
have batteries actually fit to kill a horse
on contact.

ONE of the most interesting species OF
birds described by Mr.. Elliot is the red
necked phalarope, beautiful bird, OF
which we see little in these islands, the
London News says, but which is upon
it's native heath in the arctic regions of
America. It is especially remarkable
because, as rarely happens among birds,
the female is larger and more brilliantly
colored than her mate. And it is the
hen bird that does all the counting

who has chosen him from his fellows.
and there is no escape. At last, like any
other poor bachelor so beset, he yields,
and the nest, slight structure of dry
stalks, is placed in the center of tuft

woman's rights, is obliged to sit the

dered verdict of guilty of murder in the
first degree. without recommendation
The crime for which he is condemned to
hang was one of the most dastardly and
unprovoked in the history of the coun-
try. He walked into the room where the
girl, formerly his mistress, was sitting
near Meachum, and after brief CONVEX

down and shot Meachum three times.
The girl fingered for six weeks and died.

A company has been formed at Orlando,
Florida, to experiment with the growing
of rubber trees, shrubs and vines in the
vast waste lands in the southern part OF
the state. To this end III. M. Flager
has donated 800 acres of land at Bay
Biscayne, in southern Florida, and in
case the business proves profitable,
stands ready to grant from ten to twenty
thousand acres more. The parties
actively interested are j. Orion Kerby
and Prof. o. F. Winkleman. The former
will soon start for Callao, will cross the
mountains, striking the headwaters of
Amazon, and in a canoe trip down the
river, will engage in trade with the
natives, exchanging cheap jewelry and
variety of goods for Heva nuts, rubber
and curios. One of the features of the
proposed Florida plantation will be a
nursery of Heva trees grown from the
nuts.-India Rubber World.

BARON JoRDIs, the principal breeder OF
st. Bernard dogs in Austria, publishes
a letter from the prior of the st. Ber-
nard's Hospice on the subject of the
present value of these dogs. "You ask
me whether in the present day our
hounds render the same service to trav-
elers as are usually ascribed to them, !"
writes the prior. "Certainly they do.
They in no way belle their past. In
winter they are absolutely indispensable
to us, not only because they still find
wanderers buried in the snow, but be-
cause they are the only guides who Car
lead us safely along the proper track ir
the wild mountain snow-storms. The
only difference is that they do not carry
a basket or flask fastened to their necks
These are borne by one Of the brothers
of the Hospice."

ANOTHER use has been found for the
bicycle. On one of the ooter boulevards
of Paris a cyclist recently perceived a
policeman driving cart and urging on
the horse at rapid pace. Upon qnes-
tioning the constable the wheelman was
told that be was endeavoring to over
take rabid dog which had got ahead of
the trap. Borrowing the gendarme's
saber the cyclist hastily mounted his ma
chine and sped away in pursuit of the en-
ragged animal. On coming up with the
dog he charged it while still on his bicycle
and had the satisfaction OF running the
creature through with his weapon. kill
ing it on the spot. The cyclists plucky
action was much applauded by the crowd
that had been attracted by 80 unwanted

A SOCIETY of American poets has been
organized for the on and distinct pur
pose of encouraging the wearing o.

the Illustrated American. 1t was found
that a number of the men who have en-

passion for cloaks, but that they were
lacking in the courage to indulge their
fancy. It is thought their association
in a regularly Incorporated society will
give them the requisite nerve.
