Edison may be right in the belief

itself to warrant the conclusion that
very practical results may be obtained
IN that direction. 1t is not surprising
that the rays of light which are ca

capable of reaching certain nerves of

Nine of the a. states of the Union lie
within the region pierced by the Rocky
mountain range or west of those mour,
tains. They are for the most part thin
ly settled, having in 1890 a total popu-
lation of only 2.Sl4 100. or less than five
per cent. of the 81 ll6.sl1 in the whole
45. although they have an abnormal
proportion of the electoral votes-at
out of Az, or about one-twelfth. These
sc votes are so divided between the
two candidates as to give Bryan a
majority of ten or of four. according as
wyoming shall prove To be for or
against him.
This side of the eastern foothills OF
the Rockies lie &c states. of which ..
are north of the Potomac and Ohio
rivers, and II below that liue-counting
Missouri with the South. as it has al
ways been in political affiliations. and
the adjoining state OF Kansas with tn.
North. as it has been since the slavery
issue was raised until that issue was
supplanted by Populism. The North
ern states have 3S.295,523 people. and
263 electoral votes: the Southern, y

These Northern states are solid for
Mckinley, with the exception of Kan

Dakota; the Southern ones solid foi

Among the various points of differ
ence between these two gror ps of states
is one which is seldom thought OF. but
which is brought into bold relief by the
results of the recent election. The
South is essentially native section
the white population of many states
being almost exclusively the descend
ants of the early settlers. The North
is nearly half of foreign birth. with
many states in which that element
constitutes n large majority of the
people.

persons whose parents. one or both
We're foreign born. which is a much
fairer test than that of native or for

Paragraphs for Children.

| Somebody-an inquiring woman-has
been gathering statistics of the sort of
| songs children like. From the opinions
of some 5000 children she has deduced
| the facts that girls like songs of the
| fireside and home, and boys rejoice in
| stirring patriotic singing.
| Some of the most valuable processes
| have been discovered by the merest
chance. That of whitening sugar is
| one of them. A hen tramped through
a clay puddle, and then got into a sug-
arhouse and walked across the sugar.
| Somebody noticed that wherever her
feet had been the sugar underneath the
tracks was whitened. This was a
hint and after considerable expert
| menting, wet clay came to be used as a
sugar refner.
The idea which most children have
Of king is that he goes around with
| a crown on his head and wrapped in
| royal robes or riding splendid steed.
This is not true, of course as some Of
you may know. The only ruler of Europe
today who is ever seen wearing a crown
is King Oscar of Sweden. The EN-
peror of Germany owns beautiful
crown. which. it is said. he has never
put on his head. The crown is the
emblem of kingly rule, but it is kept
for state occasions only. and then it is
more often borne into the state cham

brow of the man who is entitled to
wear it.
AT recent Bombay school board
examination for girls one of the tasks
was an essay on boys, and this was
one of the compositions. just as it was
handed in by girl of II: THE boy is
not an animal. yet they can be heard
to n considerable distance. When a
boy hollers he opens his big mouth like
frogs. but girls hold their tongues till
they are spoke to,and then they answer
respectable. and tell just how it was. A
boy thinks himself clever because he
can wade where it is deep, but God
made the dry land for every living
thing, and rested on the seventh day.
When the boy grows up he is called a
husband. and then he stops wading and
stays out nights, but the grew-up girl
is a widow and keeps house. "-Ex-

The feet of animals are called by va
dogs Or cats. the toes of elephants and
the hoofs of horses. These distinctions
are always observed by those familiar
with animals. An elephant dealer
smiles at the ignoramus who writes
about the hoofs of elephants. The leg
of the elephant ends in a large. firm,
soft cushion, surrounded by five round
cushions of toes capped by five great
nails. A curious detail of the feet of
animals is that although the number of
claws or toes varies with each species
of beast. no known sort has six divis-
ions or digits upon each foot. He may
have any number below Six but never
six. A horse has one part to his foot
which we call his hoof A deer or goat
also has hoofs. but these are cloven or
split into two parts. The camel has
two parts to his foot. but these are

oceros has three toes, the hippopota-
mus has four, and the elephant five.

perforated disc of asbestos. set into the
funnel like a false bottom.
Wood alcohol is used in the appara-

To start it into operation the alco-

heat the disc. When that begins to be
red hot, the flames are extinguiShed
and the fumes of the alcohol alone are
allowed to pass through the heated
disc
The reservoir. by the device such as

AS these fumes encounter the hot as

Just what this change is would have

But formic acid gas has not been a

Councillor Allen and His Sentiments.

Hon. Isaac E. Allen,the newly elected
tive council of Massachusetts, recently
r.ade a speech at q meeting of colored
people III Bcstcn during which consid-
cradle indignation was expressed over
the objections that have been raised
against TIE tolored councillor. In
course Of this speech he proffered a
little gratuitcus advice of which the
following is fair sample: If the
Democrats will give you anything
take ii: if the Republicans will give
you anything. take that also" This Is
| scarcely advice To take what one car
set one's hands on. but it savors Of il
soi.o .Th.:t. Yet it is ell that could be
expected, perhaps, of this man Allen
and that too, without considering him
especially biameworthy. Born slave
and helped in his early days of free
| dom by Gen. Butler, his opportunities
for comprehension of lofty ideals have
been very limited, though he seems tc
have made much of what he had and has
been materially successful by follow
ing in the restaurant" and ward bust

sion

some respects he has not higher APP
probation of the dignity of councillor
in the old Bay State than have thoss
who helped him to get there. nomin-
ated him as reward for ward services
| and in the expectation that he would
| be defeated. In other words en-
deavored to cheat him in return for his
| efforts in their behalf by a proffer OF
what they intended to be the SEM
| Elance of the political loaf but which
| turns out to be the genuine loaf or a
| most generous slice of it. For such
! jockeying and huckstering one cannot
| avoid feelings of profound contempt
whereas for sentiments like this, which
| Mr. Allen, in the speech above men
| toned. gave expression to. a certain
amount of admiration seems due: by
| the help of God l will fill that sea,

in the vaults of Massachusetts to stoI
me- Now from all we are able te
learn Mr.. Allen is not creditable rep
resentative of the better class of col.
ored people in Boston, but he seems tt
have a greater disregard for Doodle
and a higher appreciation of tbs
dignity and honor of office than some
of the white brethren who have at
tanned distinction by much the same
methods employed by Mr.. Allen in at.
tanning his present prominence.
