English Comment.

The following from English %iourn-
ais shows INV the eie> ton is regarded
in E3gianh:

vuised the country during 50 man3
months have been buried forever I'M
der the ruins Of ltrc old D mocratic
party; "ut the English, with their
longer experience. will assert Il diff
feIent opinion. Behind the silver
movement was the feeling of popular
discomfort with the established order
OF things. We may hear little more
Of Bryan, but the movement will take
more than one d-feat to kin it, and it
revolutionary"
The "EveDing News" thinks this is
only the first round, and thai the fight
will go on and may ultimately be W II
by the party that has just been showed
under.

versal desire among the poorer classes
for a short cut, even it a desperate
one, out OF their bondage. The next

ganiZe the army Of the dis~cOntented.'
The article finishes with this senti-
ment: Fer the sake of The nation,
which E~uglishmen all sincerely adj
mire, it is to be hoped that the next
great drama will not be a fierce strug-
gle OF the classes against the masses
which pessimi5tics prophets predict

'Something must be done to mitigate
the social war into which. as th' st

OF the pen TO raise the price of Goa by

The afternoon papers today hav'
lengthy comments on the election II
the United States, similar in the ton
to those of yesterday, repeating til
warnings: Bryan is rot dead yet.

CATS CURE INSOMNIA.

A discussion has recetly been carried
on In the Vegetarian on the subject OF
the magnetic power OF the cat. One
gentleman writes: ALLOW me, as one
who often has sleepess nights. and has
tried everything you suggest. to sug-
gest a remedy which have found above
then all. and which you do not notice.
II is simply 10 take a pet cat 70 sleep
with one. Cats are the very best mag
netizers and hypnotists. and the safest.
To obtain the remedy It will not do TO
take a cat into your bed and as soon ne
you have found relief neglect her. You
must be kind to the cat before and after
and make her your friend. She Will
give you the precious sleep. when all
other remedies fail. and better than all
put together. The cat Is the truest
friend Of man, we're man intelligent
enough TO know Il. The Egyptians
knew what We seem not 10 know. do
not force your cat 10 lie this way or
that: let her take her own way. do
not even force her to come to you II she
does not wish Il. but let her be In the
room. outside the bed. Sooner or later
she will come In and nurse you as no
other animal can. Even TO look into the
eyes or even the face Of a cat will often
produce feeling OF drowslness, leading

America Il Of Modern Manufacture.
Beware OF alleged antique furniturk
shipped from this country for sale In
America. Such furniture. II genuine.
can generally command a ready sale In
the London markets. and travelling
Americans prefer to buy their own rel
les on the spot a friend OF mine who
lives In the garden county" Of Eng
l9nd- Deyonshire-tells me that In the
midst CT green meadows In the remote
part OF the lovely county. there works
firm Of cablnet-makers whose achley-
ments In the art OF taking can hardly
be excelled even by the artists who
transform pot-bollers into works OF old
masters. These people oonfne their ef-
forts entirely to manufacturing antique
furniture for the American market. and
this Is the way. for instance. an "olde
oaken cheste" Is fashioned. First OF
all the chest Is strongly built OF deal
boards-practically a superior packing
case-ihe nails are sunk and the cav
tiles allied with some kind Of cement
Then the chest IA stained and the re-
markable resemblance 10 old oak Is at
tanned. To secure the specific gravity
required a very shallow false bottom Is
arranged. In which Is placed a perfect
ly fitting sheet OF lead OF course. the
best part OF the fake n In the carving.
One member OF the firm Is particularly
clever In this direction. His insplra-
ton Is derived from an old family
Bible. the illustrations In which are
surrounded by borders OF quaint and
curious design. with the grotesque
heads such as one sees In gargoyles.
The complete result Is calculated TO de-
ecive any but an expert. Il ls said that
a lively market for the stun was once
obtained In London. where Il was sold
BY auction. also that a smart American
upset the game. lie suspected a chest
which was being offered. and surreptl-
iiously applied his penknlfe TO such
purpose that he laid bare a patch OF
white deal and broke up the sale. Now
the firm export their wares to the
United States on commission.
But chests arc not the only article
offered for sale by these collectors OF
antique furniture" They have even the
temerity to attach a historical Interest
70 some Of their products. Thus a cary
en- chair may be labeled as having be-
longed TO Queen Elizabeth. or a CALI
net deliberately wrought. but with rusty.
uncouth hinges. as having been owned
by Oliver Cromwell or Sir Walter
Raleigh. The rusty hinges. by the
way. are taken fom barn doors In the
nelghborhood and tutorcd into con-
venlent shape. A capital ofiec; Is
gained by loading up a pistol or a gun
with a heavy charge OF sparrow shot
and firing IL AZ the furniture from a
due distance. This represents the raw
cgos OF the ins!dlous worm.
