A neartiess ExperIment.

The Lancet tells this story to show
the trials of country doctor in France.
A young physician settled in a COM
mune, whose paupers he attended for
ten dollars per annum. One night,
soon after his arrival at this Eldorado,
he received an urgent summons to visit
a patient who lived at distance of six
kilometers from the village. On reach
ing the cottage-it was then II p. H.
he found the doors closed and lights cx-
tnguished. In repy to his knocks the
door was opened by sturdy peasant,
who laughingly informed him that
there was no illness in the house, but
that his wife had wished to see if, when
anyone was i'll, he would come if sent

Historical Record. a, ,ra-.,.na

In speaking of the records of the
provincial court OF the province of
Maryland, from 1857 to the revolution,
now preserved in Anne Arundel county,
the Baltimore Sun says: 1.-THE historical
value of these old records is inestimable.
1t is believed that no other state in the
union has such records of family his
tory showing the manner of living
among the people of the colony as far
back as $50 years ago. In the wills,
families can be traced back from father
to son for century. The court record
books containing inventories of per.
sonal estates make complete exhibit
OF the character of household furni.
ture, kitchen implements, farm uten.
sils, etc., used by the early settlers and
their descendants during the first cen.
fury and half of the colony. From
these things we can read much of the
habits and customs of the people"

LgFT-HANDED PARROTS.
Curious Observation OF One Who II
Much to Do with Animals.

| Curious Observation OF One Who Has
Much to Do with Animals.
Superintendent Sol Stephan, of the
Cincinnati Zoo, has made all sorts OF
curious discoveries in the habits and
characteristics of ANIMALS, the latest
of which, says the Enquirer, is that
wild creatures are mostly left-handed.
Mr.. Stephan has been endeavoring to
verify this observation on two parrots
lately brought from Mexico. He found
that in grasping finger offered as a
perch, the parrots almost always put
the left foot forward.
Usually the finger thus offered is that
of the right hand. But when the left
finger is offered to the parrots, thew
put forward the right foot. There is,
however, apparently a small residuum
of preference for the left foot. This
seems to be due to the fact that men
are usually right-handed and offer the
right hand to the parrot.
The left foot is the one naturally put
forward by the parrot in this case, and
through repetition of this action Il
species of left-footedness is. induced.
Mr.. Stephan's general conclusion is
that there is no evidence that the parrot
is naturally left-footed.
The appearance of that left-footed-
ness is due entirely to the fact that
those who offer the finger or food to
parrots do so, as a rule, with the right
hand. Repetition of this process makes
the parrot more or less left-handed in
time

THE sAIppINo OF ANIMALS.
Cattle on Ocean Voyages 60 Receive the
Best OF Care and Attention.

Best OF Care and Attention.
The improvement in the arrange
ments made for the protection of ami
mails during the voyage across the At
lantic are said by Mr.. Tennan, principal
OF the animals division of the board of
agriculture, to have fairly kept pace
with the increase of the trade. During
the early days, according TO the London
News, the losses, owing to tempestuous
weather, bad ventilation and other
causes, were often of very serious
character, and in some cases resulted
in the destruction of the entire living
cargo. AS experience was gained, how
ever, an Improvement took place, and
since the year 1859, when the losses
among cattle amounted to no less than
81 of every thousand that were eIn-
barked, there has been a steady de-
crease in the mortality among this class
of animals, until, in 1898, it was re-
duced to three per thousand, and dur
ing the year 1894 to five per thousand.
Sheep are at all times bad travellers
when compared with cattle, the losses
among them during long journey De
ing almost always large, and during
the five years in question the average
losses amounted to 2s per thousand.
Notwithstanding the fact, however.
that the importation during 1894 in
creased nearly eight-fold, and leaped
up to upward of 10000, the losses dur
ing the past year only amounted to II
per thousand

Horses Regular at the Batb.

The horses which are used on the
Kennebec rice fields are so accustomed
TO dropping through the ice that they
don't seem to mind it. They are yanked
out little roughly, to be sure, but they
take their medicine like the chickens
belonging to the family that was con-
stantly moving, which, every time they
saw a covered cart stop in front of their
house, would turn on their backs and
stick their legs into the air to be tied
ready for transportation.

All Populists, so far as we are able

nominee for Vice President, but a very

Well, there are some things, we &C.

No POpulist ever paid his employees
out the State treasury for services be-
fore he was in Office.
No Populist ever stole the carpets
and furniture from the State house,
was caught in the act and forced to
disgorge.
No Populist policeman was ever con.
victed of murder and sent to the peni-
Tertiary.
No Populist policeman aver broke
into a private cellar and stole beer and
had to skip the town between two
days.
1t never got 80 hot for the chief of
Police under the Populist administra-
ton that he had to resign.
None of the inmates of the insane
asylum were murdered during the Pop

dead. They were we'll advanced in
age, being two or three years old when
the late war closed. They were once
fine animals and were his pets.
The Dispatch says that Walter Shaw,
OF Lexington, a boy Of about IA years

night last week. On his return he
boarded the vestibule through mistake
and when it arrived at Lexington he
jumped off while the train was in full
motion. His face was terribly lacera-

DON'T FORGET.

A Few Things That The Voters In "The
Common Herd" Should Keep In Mind.
That the value of gold in money is
fixed by law. Each gold country Gre
ates an unlimited demand for gold at
a fixed price, and it is this fixed price
which makes the price of gold uniform
in all gold countries. The value of
gold is not intrinsic; is extrinsic. The
value Of gold is fixed by something
outside Of gold, and that something
is the law of the country. No gold
bug a deny this fact, aud it at once
destroys all his ground for argument
that makes claim that gold in itself is
stable in value.
Don't forget that the money is not in
the commodity, but on the commodity.
The emblem of the law placed on gold
make that gold money, and that gold
isn't money until it carries the laws
emblem of money. If one says that
the gold ia worth the same without the
stamp as it is with the stamp, the re-
ply is that the gold has the money
value because the mint is open to give
it this money value, and, therefore, no
one will sell it for less than the price
fixed by law.
Don't forget that the private corpo-
r~ations, known as banks, which place
the stamp Of the law on a worthless
piece of paper and thereby render that
piece of paper equivalent to a dollar,
are in the front rank of those who
claim that the law is unable to place a
stamp OF a piece of silver and thus
render that silver equivalent to a dol
lar. They say the silver miner gets
the benefit of the difference between
the price of the silver and the stamp.
II so, who now gets the benefit of the
difference between the price of paper
and the stamp that makes it equiva-
lent to a dollar2
Don't forget that the battle now on is
between special privileges on the one
side and equal rights on the other.
Take note Of the kind of people who
are leaving the Democratic party and
clamoring for sound money"
Don't forget that Andrew Jackson
made the same fight which is now be
fore the people. Tae banks spent ne-
tenth of their capital stock. One meet
ing in Philadelphia alone had 300 vice.
presidents who had deserted their
party as sound money Democrats"
are now cooling; at that meeting thou
sands were fed at the expense of this
crew, but the people stood by Andrew
Jackson.
Don't forget that 10 price for silver
near a low price for wheat and cot
ton, and a low price for wheat and cot
ton means no profit for the farmer and
planter, and no profit for the farmer
and the planter means no money for
shoes made in Brockton or for other
manufactured articles in the East.
When the farmer and planter has no
profits, the tOilers in the cities work
for low wages or 90 without employ
ment.-Br0ckton Diamond.
