Fish and Suckers.

A dOddering old fossil was one day
fishing on what had been the bank of
river. The throat of the stream was
dry and parched As there was no more
water to be found there than in the
dining room Ofa Raines law hotel.
"What are you doing, friend ~ in

'But there is no water there. See,

Mr.. Blaine's Speech.

The other day an intelligent Repub-
lican of a Western State was asked how
he stood on the silver question. He
answered that he stood where Mr..
Blaine stood. He had read extracts
from Blaine's speech of lS7S which the
silverites had garbled and perverted,
and in which the great Republican lead
er was made to appear as advocating
free silver coinage just as the Bryan
POpulists now advocate it.
Without word of argument this
misled Republican was handed full
copy Of Mr.. Blaine's speech and asked
to read it. The next day he came back,
and broke forth "Why, the dishonest
knaves are deceiving the people; they
have deceived me, they have garbled
and falsified Mr. BIaine's position; they
have picked out one or two sentences
which, standing by themselves without
the accompanying text, give some color
to their claims; but the whole speech
is powerful and conclusive argument
on the other side"
The Bryan Populists have been max
ing great use of these garbled sentences
from Mr.. Blaine. Mr.. Bryan's paper in
Omaha has been printing them in big
black type. Mr.. George Fred Williams
has been quoting them in his har-
angues in New England. This willful
perversion is characteristic of the whole
method of the silverites. To garble and
distort a statesman's utterance for the
purpose of making him appear to sup
port what he abhors and opposes, is as
dishonest as to steal money from his
pocket. The whole case of the Popu-
lists is one of false claims and preten
siOns.
IL Is to Oe borne i'm mind that silver
was only at a slight discount then. The
bullion value of the silver dollar was 81
cents, instead of 50 cents as now.
Neither gold nor silver was in current
use, for specie payments had not yet
been resumed. But the Government
was preparing for resumption, and Mr..
Blaine wanted both gold and silver
coined. Yet with silver only at a small
discount he sounded a warning against
coinage of it except at the commercial
ratio in the markets of the world. He
showed that to enter upon the free coin
age of silver dollars with less than a
dollars worth of silver would drive
gold from circulation, would fail to raise
silver to par, would force the country
TO the silver standard, would cheat all
the holders of paper money and would
derange all business relations.
If this contention was sound when
the silver dollar was worth 90 cents,
how much stronger when the bullion
value is only 53 cents. Mr.. Blaine in
sisted that the silver dollar should have
a full dollars worth of silver, and he
proposed an amendment requiring il 10
contain 425 grains instead of 4l2l.
The SAME rule would require it now To
contain nearly 500 grains. And yet the
Populists have the hardihood TO claim
the authority of Mr.. Blaine for their
dishonest scheme The Republican
National Committee has wisely deeid-
ed TO print hundreds of thousands of
copies of Mr.. Blaine's speech for gem
eral distribution. Ii could Use no
more effective document.

ing in the woods they had seen the
boy as be passed the edge of the cliff
and had also seen the highwayman
thrown from his horse. The two shots
were dashing up to the very opening
through which Duncan had ridden.
Flinging themselves from their sad
dies, they stretched lariat across the
road and concealed themselves i'm the
bushes, each holding one end loosely
wrapped around tree. The next in
slant the two desperadoes appeafed,
riding at the top of their speed.
Waiting until they were couple of
rods off, the two hidden miners sudden
ly tightenend the lariat with a savage
twitch. 1t hung across the road Us
taut as bowstring, about foot from
the ground. The horses were going
neck to neck, and it caught them just
above the ankles. Down they went
with a crash, and flung their riders
over their heads into the dusty road.
Blake and Farnham sprang from
their hiding and covered the rascals
with their guns. 1t was needless, for
they were badly shattered and bruised
by their fall, and it was an easy task to
tie the great bewildered fellows hand
and foot as they lay writhing with
pain and rage.
Leaving them there they made their
way to the side of the boy. He lay
with his left arm shattered and help
less by his side. His right was wound
round the neck of the dead mare, and
he was crying as if his heart would
break.

no reason to be ashamed of any Of his
classes, and the one in question was no
exception to the rule The best teachers
Somerset county ever had were those
who received their early training at
the hands Of Prof Stutznan. They
did not teach in the up-to-date school
house Of to-day nor did they have the
appliances, nor the uniformity OF
books, but they taught, many Of them
successfully, in the old log school
houses, with slab benches, and an al
most universal lack of necessary ap-
paratus. Prot. Stutzman has seen the
evolution of the common school sys-
TEN, in the application of which he
was so great a factor, in all its phases,

of gratitude it can never repay.

Ancient Jewelry.

Among the richest Of recent arehaeO-
logical discoveries are those afforded
By the opening of the two brick pyram-
ids at Dashur on the Nile, the most
sOutherly Of the great chain Of Mem
phian pyramids, and Of some of the
ancient tombs surrounding them. Tn
explorers found that the tOmbs had
long ago been plundered of most Of the
gold and jewels buried with the royal
persOnages for whom they were con-
structed. Fortunately, however, some
of those precious relies had escaped the
plunderers, being carefully concealed
in the tombs of some prineesses situat-
ed on the north side Of one of the
pyramids.
Here were unearthed three splendid
breast ornaments, beautifully worked
in gold, set with cornelian, lapis lazuli
and turquoise, and covered with hu-
man figures and the curious insignia
employed by the ancient Egyptians.

terest to these specimens Of jewelry
than the fact that they are far more
beautiful and artistic in their work
manship than similar objects made by
the Egyptians at a much later zine.
Although they are not less than 5000
years old, these DashuT jewels are set
aud finished in a manner that excites
the admiration Of our 18th century ex-
Perts.
Not less wonderful as a specimen Of
the artistic skill of the men who con-
strueted the pyramids is a statue rep
resenting the King, Ra-Fou-Ab, at the
age of about Is years, which WAS found
in q chamber near the sarcOphagus
his mummified body. The
statue is carved out of hard almost
black wood, with great attention TO
detail, every muscle being carefully
wrought, so that anatomical experts
have pronounced it a remarkably cor
rect representation of the human fig
ure.
1t is believed that many other not
less interesting discoveries remain to
be made among the tombs of Dashur.

Dishes were not covered at first for
the purpose Of keeping the food warm.
They were covered from fear-the fear
of poison. In medieval days, and
down to the time of Louis XIV, people
were afraid that poison might be intro
duced into food between the kitchen
and the table. Hence the COOK was or
dered to cover the dishes, and the COW
ers were not removed until the master
of the house sat down to eat.
