TIE RETURN or PROSPERITY
There is already evidence that the
election of republican president and
congress has inspired financial and bus
mess condolences. There Is II general
feeling Of relief and everybody who ac-
ccptS the result as in the interest Of
national progress and prosperity is look
ing to the future hopefully and with
snnguinc faith in Il speedy return Of
better conditions for the Industries and
labor of the country. 1t is realized that
grave danger has been averted and
that now peaceful and orderly adj
vance to prosperity must come.
No practical man expects that we are
going to plunge at once into great in
dustrial and business activity. This
would not he natural or desirable. 4
gradual progress along conservative
lines is what is to be expected and
what is to be desired. The country
does not want Il boom that would last
only II few months or ut longest Il
year, but II steady and substantial ad-
vance, founded upon an abiding conf
dCnce. that will gradually and surely
carry the country to that height of
prosperity which it had attained under
the last republican administration.
That there is every assurance this
will be realized is unquestionable
Many mills and factories have been
prepared for Il month past to resume
operations as soon as republican vic
tory was assured. Contracts for various
enterprises involving The investment of
many millions of dollars, made pending
the election, will now be carried out.
This will give employment to II large
amount of now idle labor and in u
brief time the earnings of this labor
will be felt in the channels of trade.
making an increased demand for the
products of farm and factory. This
process will continue until all of the
idle labor in the country will be in de
mand and when that point is reached
we shall have general prosperity. 1t
ought not to be Il prolonged process,
though it is TO be borne In mind that
1t will be six months and possibly
longer before there can be any lcgiSla-
ton affecting the tariff that will give
better protection to our industries which
suffer from foreign competition. and
how far manufacturers will be disposed
To extend operations in the meanwhile
is question, but some extension is GER
tain. Stocks of goods in most lines
throughout the country are said to be
well depleted, there have been large
orders already placed and more will
follow so that there is excellent reason
for predicting at least partial re-
sumption ut once of manufacturing ac-
| tivity, the good effects of which will
be widely realized.
Republican SuCcess-the assurance
that the monetary standard of the coun-
| try Is not TO be disturbed-has greatly
frightened the prospect. The rolling
away of the free silver pail has given
relief and strengthened confidence. The
wholesome effects will appear in due
| time. Let no one be impatient or be-
come distrustful. A malady that has

LEFT-AANDED PARROTS.
Curious Observation OF One Who Hal
Much to Do with Animals.

Curious Observation OF One Who Has
Much to Do with Animals.
Superintendent Sol Stephan, of the
Cincinnati Zoo, has made all sorts OF
curious discoveries in the habits and
characteristics of ANIMALS, the latest
of which. says the Enquirer, is that
wild creatures are mostly left-handed.
Mr.. Stephan has been endeavoring to
verify this observation on two parrots,
lately brought from Mexico. He found
that in grasping finger offered as
perch, the parrots almost always put
the left foot forward.
Usually the finger thus offered is that
of the right hand. But when the left
finger is offered to the parrots, thev
put forward the right foot. There is.
however, apparently small residuum
of preference for the left foot. This
seems to be due to the fact that men
are usually right-handed and offer the
right hand to the parrot.
The left foot is the one naturally put
forward by the parrot in this case, AMI
through repetition of this action Ii
species of left-footedness is Induced,
Mr.. Stephan's general conclusion is
that there is no evidence that the parrot
is naturally !eft-footed.
The appearance of that left-footed-
ness is due entirely to the fact that
those who offer the finger or food to
parrots do SO. as rule, with the right
hand. Repetition of this process makes
the parrot more or less left-handed in
time.

A "CLEAN" SHAVE.
Precautions Which Might BE Adopted for

Precautions Which Might BE Adopted for
tho safety Of Customers.
Nothing is easier than for contagion
to be conveyed from a diseased to
healthy skin during the act Of shaw
ing, and many eases have now been re-
corded, says the Medical Press, prov
ing that diseased processes have in this
manner been propagated. Probably
the readiest manner available to the
barber for preventing such untoward
occurrences would be by sterilizing his
instruments" by means of heat, either
by steam or boiling water. Razors
should he made SO that their handles
would not suffer from the exposure to
highdegrees of heat, and the rule should
beenforced that in no case should any of
the instruments" be used consecutive
ly without having first been submitted
TO the sterilizing process. Under this
rule, then, each customer would be
sure of having "clean" shave in more
senses than one. OF course, also, on
the principle Of q fresh pot of tea for
each customer" q freshly scalded-out
lather pot should be included with each
shave. Unless these or similar pre-
cautions be carried out in BARRIERS
shops, cases of the conveyance of in
fictitious skin diseases from customer
to customer cannot fail to occur.

HE HAS HIS TROUBLES.

Trials Of Messenger BOY for the Tele-
graph Company.
A telegraph messenger probably sees
as much of the other side of human
nature as doctor. One told an Atchi-
son Globe writer recently that a woman
never opened a telegram without turn
ing pale, and, when the message was
not alarming, they looked disappointed.
He delivered about two death mes
sages a day -four birth messeges,a great
many business messages, and once in a
great while a love message that makes
him tired to carry it. He carried one
recently to a young man in town that
read:
'How are you to-day darling?'
The answer went promptly back by
the boy and was to this effect: II am
better, love-" He once carried a mes
sage of death to colored woman, and
after reading it her emotion overcome
her to such an extent that she caught
the messenger in her arms and soundly
boxed his ears. Another colored woman
refused to open or sign for a message,
but walked the floor and beat her
breast, and screamed. supposing it an
nounced a death. When all the neigh
bors had come in, one more venture.
some than the rest read the message.
1t was simply notice that the woman's
sister would come up from Leaven-
worth that evening to see her.

HOW THEY ARE MADE.
Facts Of Interest Concerning Strings for
Musical Instruments.

Facts of Interest Concerning Strings for
Musical Instruments.
Although many people play stringed
instrumets, few know how the strings
for their fayorite instruments are pro-
duced. The Neapolitan provinces
maintain their superiority in the pro-
duction of this article, which requires
the greatest care and dexterity on the
part of the workmen.
The treble strings are particularly
difficult to make, and are produced at
Naples. probably because the Neapol-
itan sheep, from their small size and
leanness, afford the best raw material.
They are formed from the small intes-
tines, which must be very carefully
scraped. The intestines are then
stepped in alkaline lyes, clarified with
little alum for four or five days, until
well bleached and swollen.
They are next drawn through an
open brass thimble, and pressed against
1t with the Hail in order to smooth and
equal the surface, after which they are
washed, spun or twisted, and sulphured
during two hours. The strings are
finally polished by friction and dried.
Sometimes they are sulphured twice or
thrice before the finishing process.

to learn that $4,000 elephants have to be
killed every year to keep our markets
supplied with the precious substance.
Altogether. to keep the whole world in
ivory-apart from fossil tusks--75 900
elephants are slaughtered annually.
Africa is the great ivory country; and
in the Congo basin, the best hunting
ground, there are supposed to be about
100000 elephants, worth altogether
about 6 100000. The average weight
of ivory obtained from single elc-
plant is about so pounds. Tusks
weighing about 100 pounds each have
been procured, but this is very rare.
The most expensive tusks are those
used in the manufacture of billiard
balls; they cost, as rule, clio a 100
weight.
Ivory dust and shavings are used by
confectioners to stiffen the more ex-
pensive kinds of jellies. The scrapings
are often burnt and made into paint
known as 'ivory black" worth about
4 20 a ton.
The hardest of all ivory is that OBJ
tanned from the hippopotamus. twill

struck with steel, and is principally
used in making artificial teeth.

In The valley OF Death.

FRESNO, Cal. - Especial. T. Another
life has been sacrificed to the deter
mination among miners and prospect
ors to upearth the hidden treasure of
the Death Valley. The latest victim
known to the people of this county is
D. K. Roberts. Roberts started on a
prospecting tour into the Valley of
Death sometime ago, but from that
day until the present time no trace
has been found Of him. and it is feared
he has persisted in the desert. Ex-
petitions to seek tabled riches of
Death Valley start out annually. This
great expanse of desert, lying in the
Panamint mountains in the southeast
part Of Inyiou county, Is about 400
feet below sea level, and except for q
few springs along its mountain sides
Is entirely destitute of water.
