WEI THEY POINT WITH PRIDE?
1t will be decidedly interesting to see
what the Democratic delegates will do
at Hartford to-day, OF course they will
be harmonious, unless they fight too
much. And they will declare for the
gold standard, unless they have been
given over to strong delusion and to
believe a lie. But viii they point with
pride?" Democratic conventions in
this State have been in the habit of
pointing with pride Habit will per-
haps be strong upon the convention to-
day. but what excuse will there be for
yielding to it? What is there now for
Democrats to poipt with pride to? The
tariff for deficit, the increase in the
national debt, the bond sales, and the
coming convention at Chicago where
all that is left of Democracy is going
to be slail and buried?
If the Democrats who will meet at
Hartford to-day are in frame of mind
corresponding to their party's predica-
ment they will resist ancient habit and
there will be no pointing with pride by
them, and a seller of sackcloth and
ashes will be able to do d good business
among them.

A MODEL FOE CHICAGO

OF all the platforms thus far made
this year the platform of the Virginia
Democrats is the most complete speci-
men of what can be done when sound
financial principles are not considered
useful in a platform. The Virginia
Democrats say: 1--WE are for sound
money, the soundest that the world
has ever had or can have This sound
money should consist of silver and gold
and of paper redeemable in silver or
gold at the option of the payer, the
units OF the whole mass to be kept at
parity by coinage rights and equal legal
tender functions, the only method by
which the parity of the two metals has
been continuously and successfully
maintained" AS if this nonsense were
not enough in itself, the absurdity of
the proposal is made more explicit by
this addition: I'VE demand the free
and unlimited coinage of both silver
and gold at the ratio of 16 to /, without
waiting for the assent or concurrence
of any other nation
Perhaps if the Chicago convention is
as thoroughly dominated by silver as
it now seems likely to be the Virginia
platform will serve as a model for the
platform-makers in Chicago.

WINTER DUCKING.

Vrom Forest and Stream)
| Methods of hunting the same kind Of
game differ with the location and the
| season. There is no mode of duck
shooting that is so novel or attended
with greater discomfort and danger
| than winter shooting on Lake Ontario.
The ducks that make their homes in
these icy waters are whistlers, broad
| bills, coots, sheldrakes and oldwives.
The three latter kinds are fish ducks,
and on the coast are strong and inferi-
or in flavor. for they live on fish and
sea food. But the lake usually fur
nishes each autumn several cargoes of
barley and wheat that are wrecked ana
scattered along its shores. Thither the
| ducks congregate and after many
| weeks feeding on the water soaked
| grain their flesh becomes fat and fine
Favored. They feed with ease in water
| that is twelve to fifteen feet deep, div
ing to the bottom and remaining under
water an incredible time. It is often
| amusing to shoot at one or two ducks
swimming about and the next instant
to see the water broken in all directions
| by the birds popping up from under
meath where they have been breakfast
ing. Now is the time for alertness, for
If the gunners are busy enough they
may slaughter many more before they
have made change of elements. Ice
| forms in the shoal water many yards
| from the shore. Anchor ice and frozen
| spray are piled upon this in wild confu-
sion, until it looks like the surface of a
| glacier with hillocks and crevasses.
Frequently sprout holes are formed,
out Of which the water, forced upward
by the waves dashing underneath,
| leaps for many feet in the air, and
| freezing as it falls, forms a cone like
those in the crater of a volcano. The
outer edge Of this ice reef is formed
into a line of ice cliffs and battlements,
containing caves of wondrous beauty,
and little coves and fjords like a NINA i
ture Norway coast line. The hunters
are clad in garments of white duck,
white caps covering the hair and white
masks Even white covers are used
for their guns. These are arranged to
| be easily slipped off when the time for
action arrives. An excavation Is made
on the edge of the ice, in which the
hunters are to conceal themselves. The
decoys are anchored at q convenient
distance and the boat, drawn into lit
tie cove of the ice, is covered with a
white cloth. One does not have to wait
long for shot, as the ducks fly in
great numbers. The cold is often in
tense and the frozen spray stiffens the
clothing and covers everything with an
icy armor. A wind break of blocks OF
ice is often an absolute necessity. But
despite cold and discomfort, it is sport
and everything goes. Large numbers
of ducks are shot in this way, but not
all the slain are retrieved, for the
launching of boat in the wintry seas
| is dangerous operation. and capsiza
is something to be carefully avoided.

COMpRESSFD ARR

Compressed air is coming to the front
again as a motive power. Recently
great advances have been made in the
construction of air motors here and
cy of 80 per cent. is obtained, it is stat
ed, instead Of the so per cent formerly
obtained. The storage problem has been
solved by using seamless steel tubes,
and the refrigerating effect is counter
acted by passing the air through hot
water. For some time past street cars
have been operated by compressed air
in France, but under conditions, it has
been affirmed, that could not well be re-
produced here. American traction COM
panies have experimental with various
motors said to be suited to our needs,
but till recently without satisfactory re-
suits. The value of a street car that
would dispense with wires and poles,
run without smoke, create no offensive
smell, make no noise, be swift and yet
under control, and, above all, be eco
nomical, is generally recognized. Sew
eral inventions of very recent date are
said to meet these requirements. The
Mekarski system is in successful oper-
alton in France. At Rome, New York
the Hardie system is said to be most
successful. The latter produces a car
weighing some eight and half tons
driven by air compressed into seamless
steel reservoirs. A hot-water tank
warns up the air as 1t passes to the
cylinders, where it gives motion to pis-
tons, as in the ordinary steam engine
The engines are under the car and &C.
cupy little space. The reservoir and
hot-water tank are reflled at the sta
ton at the end of the line, one filling
suficing for a long trip. There is a
third system or device, known as the
Hoadley invention, being perfected in
Massachusetts, of which great things
are expected
1t is suggested by a bold inventor that
Niagara Falls may be used to COM
press air, which may be conveyed to
distant points in pipes. We may soon
be hearing about the wonders Of COM
pressed air.

The expedients for preventing a
dropping skirt band are many, but few
accomplish what they are meant to.
One that is effective consists of a belt
of stout cotton that fastens very snug
ly about the waist. 1t is fitted with
four buttons, one at each side, two at
the back. ButtonhOles corresponding
are worked strongly ip the back of the
shirt waist so that the belt holds down
the shirt, and then these same buttons
pass through corresponding button
holes in the skirt band. Then comes
the outside belt, which is fastened
loosely, and is supposed to fit down
over the skirt band and stay there. A
smart girl can fasten bit of leather
buttonhOle on the inside of the belt, let
ting her stitches correspond with the
stitching of the belt, This buttonnole
will go over one of the buttons and Sc
cure the desired effect. Some such ex-
pedient must be resorted to or a droop-
ing skirtband will surely result Many

Newly Discovered Deposits lin the North
orn Part of the Continent.
(From the Boston Transcript
While all Europe is having feverish
experience specializing in stocks of At
rican and Australian mining compa-
MES, it is rather interesting to note
that the gold mining operations in this
country and Canada have been increas-
ing in a marked degree. The Black
Hills mines will, it is estimated, pro-
duce ten million dollars in gold this
year. New finds of rich ore are report
ed almost every week. new chlorination
and cyanide plants are under construc
ton, and the district is said to contain
mills having the equivalent of eleven
hundred active stamps. Northern
Montana has also been explored for
gold, and some good indications have
been found in the Belt mountains and
the Sweet Grass hills Most of the gold
has been found in placers, and as water
for mining or for any other purpose
was very scarce during the past sum-
mer, the output for the year will be
small in spite of the apparent richness
of some of the deposits.
The gold region of Rainy lake, and
the Seine river, northwest of Lake Su-
perior, has recovered from the I'M
healthy boom of 1928, while the
mines a little farther to the west
around the Lake of the Woods, are
forging rapidly ahead. The Canadian
Pacific road gives these miners easy
communication with the markets, and
they have developed quite fast. The
oldest mine, the Sultana, has some
twelve hundred feet of workings and
has produced one hundred and ten
thousand dollars in bullion up to thC
| present time. There are mills with
about ninety stamps in this district
and a large reduction plant.
The great discoveries of the north
west, however, are in the Trail Creek
| country, in the West KOotenai region
| Both the Canadian Pacific and the Spo-
kane and Northern roads are building
| branches in this district, and the towr
of Rossland, with thirty five hundred

Of much Importance to foreign trust
companies doing business in Illinois is
a recent decision of Judge Payne of
the Superior court of that State, to the
effect that foreign trust companies ac-
cepting trusts in Illinois must COM
ply with the law which requires de-
post of 100000 with the State auditor.
Domestic trust companies are required
to make such deposit, but foreign
companies, to whom the provision is
more of hardship, have not complied
with the law. The decision was rem
dered in the case of the Lake Street
Elevated against the Farmers Loan
and Trust company of New York and
the American Trust and Savings Bank
and Northern Trust company of Chi
cago, but it was really directed against
the Farmers Loan and Trust company,
which sought to foreclose a mortgage
on the Lake Street property.
