Among the many anecdotes told Of
p. r. Barnum is one to the effect that
when the great Snowman exhibited In
London he sent tickets Of admission to
all the clergy, including the Bishop OF
London and his family. After the
show the Bishop called upon the great
circus man, and was much struck by
his big-hearted, amiable manner.
Upon leaving the Bishop took Mr..
Barnum's hand and said:
.,You are not such a bad man after
all. I hope to meet you In heaven,
sir. g.s

BRYAN's CAlEPAIGN.

ssNo more brilliant campaign ~
ever been made Ii this country thAn
that Of Mr. Bryan from Nex York
back to Chicago, says the Times-D Dom
ocrat. He has spoken 70 nearly hall n
million people, and has aroused every
where the widest enthusiasm; indeed,
at times the enthusiasm has reached
the danger point. Az one place the
platform broke down, % great was the {
crowd, and at jamestown such was the (
press that 1900 people crowded into q |
hall able to hold only 5000, causing
hundreds Of them to faint and nearly
precipitating q panic. Nor we're these
crowds merely the result Of curiosity
Of desire to see Bryan. All the evil
dence proves that the great majority
OF them were ardent supporters Of
Bryan, eager to hear what he had 70
say, and seeing In him a representative
Of the cause Of the people. II was q \
popular outburst, such as has never I
before been witnessed, and that, too, il
the enemy's country, in New York,
which has boasted that 1t was strongly
entrenched in the campaign Of the
goldbugs, and in Ohio, the home Of
Mckinley. The, greatest demonstra-
tion was in the city Of Cleveland, the
home Of the great Hanna himself.
There Mr.. Bryan rode, as though in =
triumphal procession, through ave-
nues crowded to suffocation with peo-
pie apparently anxious to bear evidence
to the fact that they were not slaves Of
the big iron ''boss."

Household Economy.
For several years grocers have been
prophesying a radical reform in baking
powder prices. st. Louis has led the
way In this reform. A high-grade
powder in this city is now being vigor-
ously pushed on the market through
out the country, competing with the
old standard price Of 2b cehts a pound.
The brand Is happily named "Jack
Frost" q name doubtless suggested by
the fact that it has . snowy Wilderness
and extreme light quality not attained
by manufacturers Of the old brands.
The companies that attempt to MAIN
tain bonanza prices may now prepare
to encounter o ''frost'' wherever thcy

The ways OF the Opossam.

Just why the great xoologists Of the
present day should have chosen to con.
slider the opossum an animal Of a lower
order than the stupid and helpless sloth,
and the third order from the lowest Of
all, Is not SO easy to understand as it
ought to be. As matter Of fact, nature
has done o great deal for the opossum-
far more than for the great majority Of
quadrupeds. Note what the creature is,
and can do. and match it If you can. II
cats almost everything that can be
chewed-wih fruit. berries, green corn,
insect larvae. eggs. young birds and
quadrupeds, soft sbelled nuts and GER
tain roots. It is n good climber. and has
q very useful prehensile tail. 1t forages
on the ground quito Us successfully Us
any squirrel. 1t usually burrows under
the roots Of large trees. where it is i'm
possible for tho hunter to dig it out. but
sometimes It makes the mistake Of
choosing 4hollow log. When attacked.
1t often feigns death to throw its as
sailonts of their guard. Like the bear
and woodchuck. 1t stores up q plenti-
full supply Of fat for winter use, when
food is scarce. and. above all, the fe-
male has a nice. warm pouch in which
