THE OLD KITCHEN FIRE.


Mid sweet recollections sit In its blaze
AS sat long ago in youths mystical days,
AND out of the past that II hallowed yet
Come faces and voices cannot forget:
We We're children. It's true. but the heart
keeps its hold
On youth which It treasures as jewels and
gold.
And I feel in my soul with its lofty desire
The warmth and the glow Of the old kitch-
en- fire.
How often we laughed at the winds in their
might,
AS the meadow reposed meath their gar
ments of white:
The cracking Of nuts made the merriest
din,
It was winter without. 1t was summer
within,
But silence would come at the beck of the
Who told US the stories of banshee and
spook.
TIL the flames fickered low like they
wished to expire,
And we crcpt of to bed from the old kitchen
fire.
cherished the pictures times cannot eff
face,
The old-fashioned kitchen in memory I
trace,
And the boys and the girls who sit In q
On the stiff, solemn chairs OF the dim long
And father and mother would often peep If.
But never rebuke us no matter what din
We made in our glee; they would smile ard
retire,
For once they were young by the old kitch-
en- fire.
1t is thus from the past that pluck me a
rose
Which deep in the garden of memory
grows,
And my heart keeps its youth through the
years as they glide
Bear me almost alone down the shadowy
Tide:
have only to listen and laughter hear,
! have only to wish and sweet faces come
near,
And sit once again, with a boyish desire,
In the warmth and the glow of the old
kitchen fire.

McKinley's Money Record.

Yes. it is true that Mr.. Mckinley's
speeches in the house of representatives
several years ago showed a strong lean
ing toward silver. He smoke earnestly
tor the protection of the nations silver
product. 1t is also true that he spoke
eaguely for a policy which would keep
gold and silver money side by side''
in the national currency. These things
are matters of record and known to all
students of recent congressional his
tory. Since then all that the people have
known about Mr.. McKinley's financial
views is that he has very great de-
sire to propitiate both sides of the con-
troversy. And in this position he has
plenty of company. Most of the candi-
dates now before the country are not
saving a word more than is absolutely
necessary. Mr.. Mckinley could make
a great hit by speaking out like man
ard telling what he thinks on the money
auestion.-Chicago News tInd.).
-Ex-President Harrison is said to
favor anyone for the presidential nom
nation except Mckinley, whom he does
not regard as of presidential size. At
least SO says a rumor going the rounds
of the press. If true, we beg to remind
BENJAMIN that Mckinley does not have

him popular with the people.-Toledo

A sensational incident is reported
from Ibarra, Mexico. Juan p. vertuga.
a merchant highly esteemed in that

Spain ten years ago. II is said that he
escaped to America with $40, 900 of the
booty. He was traced to New York
and thence to the western states and
Mexico. The case is quite sensational
in many OF it's features and has con-
siderably stirred up the little communi.

so that in the event of republican sue
cess republican president might ap-
point territorial officers and thus take
the control of legislation from the demo
Gratis. In pursuance of this scheme, a
paragraph was inserted in the legisia-
tive, executive and judicial appropria-
ton bill providing that the next session
of the legislature should begin the first
Monday in May, 1897, and each succeed
ing session on the first Monday in May
of every odd numbered year thereafter,
and forb:dding the election or appoint
ment or payment of any officer of either
hose of the legislature, except trans
lator and an interpreter. The preseE t
secretary of the territory, Lorion Miller,
incurred the enmity of the republicans
by his action at the last meeting of the
territorial Legislature in connection
with a contested seat, and the job con
templated his retirement, as well as the
overriding of public sentiment in the
territory.
OF course the paragraph embodying
the selfish motives of Mr.. Elkins had no
business in the appropriation bill. Mr..
Hill says it was ''sneaked' in, and tn.
anxiety displayed by Mr.. Elkins to have
him explain the offensive term lends
strength to the charge. The house had
not word to say in protest agains: the
job, which may be explained by the
activity of Mr.. Catron. who has the
reputation in New Mexico of being i
past master in the art of political man
ipulation. That he and his senatorial
friends came to grief is due alone to the
fact that Mr.. Hill had learned of their
scheme from democrats in the terri
tory, who rightly assumed that the New
York senator would like nothing better
than to expose and defeat it-N. Y.

LoesTERs ARE cANNieALs.


In Their Infancy They VIII Eagerly De-
YOUR sOne Another.
One hundred millions of baby lob
sters will be hatched artificially by the
United States fish commission during
the coming summer. That number
would be sufficient to make Holsters as
plenty and cheap as they ever were, il
only they could all grow up. Unfortu-
nately, many difficulties interfere with
their propagation by the incubator
plan. It is easy enough to hatch them.
SO far as that goes.
The eggs are obtained from fisher
men, who bring the female Holsters to
the government station at Woods Holl,
Mass. One fair-sized lobster will yield
10000 eggs. They are scraped gently
from her body and put into glass jar
through which water circulates. In the
course of a few days the baby HOLSTERS
come out. looking like SO many little
bits of shrimps.
An infant lobster looks not at all like
the adult specimen. The latter walks
about on the bottom of the sea, but ita
juvenile offspring swims near the sur.
face Of the water for the first few weeks
Of it's life. It is almost sure to be COB
bled by fish or by some predatory
mollusk or crustacean. IL SO lucky as
to escape these dangers it goes through
q series of molts.
Each time it changes it's shell it looks
finally at the end OF the seventh week
or whereabouts it assumes the adult
form and gives up swimming. Being
clad in armor, it has few enemies to
fear from that time on, while it finds
concealment among the rocks on the
bottom. Thenceforward the enemy
most to be dreaded is greedy man, who
tries to lure it into baited pots that are
easy to get into and hard to get out of.
For long time the government ex-
perts have been puzzling over a problem
which remains to this day unsolved.
They could soon cause the waters of the
Atlantic coast to swarm with Holsters
If only they could discover way Of
rearing those artifcially Matched until
they are seven weeks old and arrived at
the adult state.
But Holsters are by nature cannibals.
and the young ones eat each other up
It is hardly practicable to provide
separate compartment for each adoles-
cent lobster. They are put into the
ocean to take their extremely small
chances of survival. During the few
days preceding their liberation they arc
fed on tow stuff. This tow stuff con-
sists of small crustaceans and other ami
mails collected by towing q net OF fine
gauze from boat along the surface Of
the sea.-N. Y. World.

Liquid Air.

It is but few months since the
rather startling announcement that
chemists had succeeded in turning the
invisible air into blue liquid capable
of being poured from glass to glass like
water. Recently means have been found
to produce this rare curiosity of science
on a large scale for the purposes OF
commerce. It is to be employed as re.
frigerating agent of unrivaled power.
It will be remembered that air was
first liquefied by reducing it's teInpera-
ture to the critical point at which
it ceases to be gas and becomes c
liquid, just as steam when cooled
changes from vapor to water. Conse-
quently liquid air, when it 10 allowed tc
expand again to the gaseous state, alb.
serbs so much heat that it is capable
of producing great fall of temperature
in its immediate surroundings. Instead
of being made by the slow processes OF
the scientific laboratory, commercial
liquid air is now to be produced by the
aid of powerful COMPRISING engines.

OUR coLoRED POPULATION.

Important Figures Showing Position OF
Negroes In the United States.
The last census returns gave the pop
ulation of the United States as g., e22, ;
250. The colored population numbered
1885, 800, of whom the Africans were
100000. The rest were Chinese, Jan.
anese and civilized Indians. The per-
sons of African descent are subdiyided
into blacks, mulattoes, quadroons and
octoroons. The general impression is
that the colored population is growing
more rapidly than the white, but the
facts are that the reverse is the case.
In 1850 there were 6 $50, 1913 colored per-
sons in a total of 5O,155, 7s3. The col.
cred population has steadily decreased
since 1910, as compared with the white
people, and to-day the white element
in the southern states is increasing
much more rapidly than the colored.
The distribution of the colored popu-
lation is confined chiefly to the south
ern states. Very few are found in the
New England states, New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania; and there
are few Chinese, japanese and Indians
in the southern states. The state which
has the largest population OF Africande-
scent is Georgia. Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont and North and South
Dakota have an almost entirely white
population. Pennsylvania has col.
ored population of 1o9,757, of which
1O7. 500 are of African descent. In Phil
adelphia the colored people are found
very largely in IA Of the wards. These
figures are important as showing the
position of the colored race to-day in
the United States. The Pacific coast
contains the larger number of persons
of purely Asiatic descent. The prob.
lem of the negro is essentially a south.
ern problem, but his domination at
the south is checked by the larger pro-
portionate increase of the white people.
These facts, taken from the census,
throw considerable light upon our so
cial problem.-Boston Herald.

Drafting a Registry Law.

E. w. Bingham of Portland, who took
the lead in drafting the Australian bal
lot law now in force, in this state, has
finished the draft of bill for registra-
tion law. 1t is caraful, minute and
comprehensive, and is drawn with the
double purpose of preventing fraudulent
voting and of avoiding any conflict with
the constitution.
The bill propoees to make it the duty
of every elector in the state to register
with the clerk of the county in which he
resides between the first Monday of jan
nary, 1898, and o'clock p. m., of the
fifteenth day of May. 1898, and between
the same dates and hours biennially
thereafter.
Every elector may be registered with
out charge by personally appearing at
the Office Of the county clerk. The
elector must be sworn, and his name
must be entered in the general county
register, with date of registration, the
age of the elector, mis- business or occu-
patton, his actual and precise place
of residence. the country of his nativity,
and, if naturalized, the time, place and
court of naturalization. Other minor
details are prescribed for such persons
as are not the heads or proprietors oi
the houses where they live.
