Tricks Of Horse Traders.

There are tricks in all trades, but
horse trades appear to have more than
their share. A new dodge in that line
Is reported from Philadelphia The pro-
prietor of an uptown hotel in that city
patronized largely by agriculturists
was very anxious to sell a horse to a
friend from the country, but the latter.
had some doubt as to the animals speed.
The two agreed upon a certain day for
a drive in the park, and in the mean
time the hcte. man had not been idle.
They were bowling along at a pace
which was scarcely calculated to create
any great excitement when a park
guard, who had previously been fixed"
arrested the owner of the horse for driv-
ing faster than the allowed 800 gait.
He willingly paid his fine of SIS, and his
companion was so impressed by the oc-
currence that he Immediately purchased
the horse.

WHY A NEoRo.s HAIR cURLs

Protects the Brain from the Heat OF
Tropical Sun.
From the st. Louis Republic: The
fat nose of the African and his large
nostrils result from the necessity OF in
haling larger draughts of tropical air
I'd produce the same degree O. vitality,
because of it's greater expansion; thus
the increased exercise produces in
creased expansion of the nostrils OF
larger nose. The curling of the Afri-
cans hair, while universal Oh his con-
tinent, is common in every country of
the globe. Perhaps this has its scien-
ti1c solution in the fact that the curls
defect the rays of the tropical sun, thus
preventing their more severe penetra-
ton into the brain. In the transmits
sion of light it is law that every in
tervening object with which a ray
comes in contact bends and diverts in
another direction. Heat curls every
kind of hair and that which is provided
in nature for the protection of the brain
from injury by the rays of tropical
sur is created endowment, which by
degrees is becoming naturally trans
Missile and inherited. The skull of
the African, with it's peculiar thickness,
affords another feature of protection to
the brain. 1t is evident that it is the
outdoor exposure of the working
classes that makes their skin so black.
It must also be remembered that it is
net the skin alone of the men of Africa
which manifest deep color but this
characteristic is noticed in all the bird DIS,
beasts, fish, reptiles and plants. An
other fact in relation to this phenom-
eEon is that everything grows less
deeply colored as we approach the polar
regions. There the white bear is found
and nowhere else, while the black bear
lives and is now native to almost every
other climate

Chairman DingIey Was Puzzled Over .
Colleagues Business Chance.
Dingley of Maine-a good man and a
deep thinker-has no capacity for
humor Some of our best minds and
most profound philosophers are uphol-
stored that way So Dingley is not
alone. Dingiey was telling John Allen
of the general dullness of trade and
the absolutely fiat condition Of business
and commercial opportunity for money
making.
The question of profit making" - said!
Dingley. has all but departed from the
business world. Men are now glad if
the chance presents itself to pay ex-
penses and hold their own
tOh. I don't know" said Allen, in his
grave, far-of way, and with that drawl
which would have warned anybody but
.Dingley, 81 don't know as 1 can agree
with you entirely, Dingley. OF course,
Eve but little capacity for business. and
ordinarily a chance to make money
would escape me or keep out of my way.
But even $50 thick are they lying
about-had pressed on me as came to
the capitol this morning a chance to
make an investment which would pay
three or four days. AS usual, though,
I didn't have the capital, and had to de-
cline. 1 couldn't invest in it, as didn't
have the money. However, believe
the chance is still open, if you care to
60 in, Dingley.'
'fWhy, it's most remarkable said
Dingley, quite excited, tits most re-
markable. What was the opportunity.
Allen, to invest which would pay 20
per cent in week? I should very much
like to hear of it."
why" drawled Allen, cit was on the
cable cars. The conductor offered to
sell me six tickets for a quarter; a clean
gain, you see, of 20 per cent over paying
for rides at cents ride. But, as 1
said, couldn't close with him; didn't
have the capital
Even then it didn't enter Dingley0s
head that the gentle Allen was guying
him. He looked at him soberly and
earnestly a moment and retorted: "Ot
course I don't say there may not be
isolated chances to make profit, as In
the one case you name, but, putting 1t
as a~generaI condition, Allen, 1 meant
that business barely paid for itself. -

Miss Fannie Leidesorf of San Fran
cisco faced storm the other day clad
in boomers. They were of navy blue
cloth and fell well below the knee,
where they were net by leggings of the
same shade. The rest of the costume
consisted of black jacket, black and
yellow hat, and a black serge skirt
lined with moreen, but not stiffened
with it. Miss Leidesorf threw it over
her arm when walking and dropped it
when in stores. In the former position
the hem of it did not reach the knees,
and it was the only clean skirt ON the
street.

a Pardonea convict Sues the State.

In 1875 Ezekiel Phillips of Nation,
Ills, was sentenced to imprisonment for
life at hard labor. In 1898 he was par
doned by the governor. Now he has
brought suit against the state for SIS, 400.
The claim is based on the ground that the
sentence of the court was not carried out,
and that instead of being kept at hard
labor the prisoner was set to work as a
gatekeeper. 1t is held that this was po-
sition ordinarily filed by appointment and
had attached to it a salary of $50 month.
1t is charged he performed the duties OF
the position for Is years and has never
been compensated for his services.

Orchard and Graveyard.

Perhaps the most striking evidence of
thrift since that referred to by Hamlet
is furnished by a Maine town, where
apple trees are to be planted in a grave
yard and the proceeds from the sale of
the fruit are to be devoted to the re-
pairing of the fences and the cutting of
weeds.

once?

When Senator Thurston with
straight face was informing Mr..
Mckinley of his nomination, he
said among other remarkable dec
larations in referring to the Nc
Kinley tariff:
"Under it this nation advanced
to the very elimination of a pros
perity far surprising that of all
other people and all other times; a
prosperity shared in by all sections,
all interests, and all classes; by
capital and labor; by producer and
consumer; a prosperity so happily
in harmony with the genius OF
popular government that its choicest
blessingsare most widely distributed
among the lowliest toilers and the
humblest homes"
The hyperbole being made use OF
about this time by the spokesman
of the party exceeds anything in
party history. Desperate cases
need heroic remedies. Mr.. Nc
Kinley determined not to be out
done in his reply said,
"The complaint of the people is
not against the Administrator for
borrowing money and issuing bonds
to preserve the credit of the country,
but against the ruinous policy
which has made this necessary,
owing to the policy which has been
inaugurated." !"
This may be taken as pretty
broad hint to Wall Street shylocks
that they may come on and con-
tinue to get thin bonds if he is
elected, as freely as though Cleve-
land was still occupying the White
House.

Why not a British Colony?

What he says briefly for publica-
ton, and more fully in private con-
versation, of the disposition of
European investors with respect to
American securities is important
because it shows that Europe is
ready to invest immense capital in
America, provided only the Re-
publican platform declares in such
explicit terms in opposition to free
silver coinage and the maintenance
of the present standard, which is
gold.
The above is clipped from a gold
bug paper in commenting on what
j. Pierpont Morgan said on his
return from London. English
money, millions of it, is ready to
be invested in the best properties
of this country if the republican
party can insure the British shy
locks that they will receive their
interest and dividends in gold. If
this country only exists to provide
profitable investments for English
shylocks, what are we here for, why
not become an English colony at
once?

Who Can Answer?

Hon. Edward Stern, of Philadelphia, in
his correspondence with Secretary of
Agriculture, Hon. ]. Sterling Morton,
the following question which
Morton has not answered. Can some of
his goldbug friends answer2
will you kindly explain the following
peculiar condition Since the year 1891
the worlds annual supply of wheat has
been stationary or declining, since 1891
the population of the world has steadily
increased as usual, and yet in the face of
a diminishing supply, and of an increas-
ing demand, the gold standard price of
wheat has steadily declined in the most
alarming manner. Does it not appear to
you as though some trickery juggle has
been perpetrated on our innocent,
straightforward, unofending farmers and
planters? What influences combine TO
fix the export price at which our great
staples must be sold? This export price
necessarily fixes the price of our home
market.

The July Arena.

Those who desire to be thoroughly
posted on the great issues now be-
fore the country cannot afford to be
without the July Arena. The
question which undoubtedly takes
precedence over all other questions
at the present time is the money
question. This subject is exhaus-
lively delt with, the Editor, Mr.. B.
0. Flower, in addition to some
stirring editorials, contributes two
remarkably strong papers to the
controversy, one of which embodies
the views of such prominent and
authoritative thinkers as the noted
financier and banker, Jay Cooke,
VIM. P. st. John, president of the
Mercantile National Bank of New
York, and Judge Walter Clark,
LID, of the Supreme Bench of
North Carolina. ii. f. Bartine, in
a closely reasoned and well written
paper, replies to a recent article in
The Forum, by M. Paul Leroy
Beaulieu, in favor of gold monome-
tallism. Mr.. Bartine makes
strong case for the white metal and
refutes M. Beaulieu's arguments
in a clear and logical manner that
is calculated to bring conviction to
minds. Other econo-
mic and social problems are dis
cussed by live thinkers in this
number of the Arena.

The protection plank in the McKinly

The protection plank in the McKinly
platform contains these significant words:
"We are not pledged to any particular
schedule" The platform plank does not
endorse the Mckinley tariff, which was
represented by the republican leaders to
be perfection. The Mills tariff bill which
was represented by the the democratic
leaders to be perfection, but failed to pass
the Senate, was not adopted when the
Wilson bill was framed. These historical
evidences of tariff legislation show that
the tariff has as many changes as the
moon, hence the politicians are anxious
to use it to fool the people.
