A Decorated Heroine.

Miss Emma G. Sickles, who achieved
considerable reputation for the coura-
geous part she played in the Indian upris-
ing at Pine Ridge agency in 1890, has
received q gold medal from society in
France, whose motto is "To save or to
perish" Miss Sickles was a teacher in
the Indian school at Pine Ridge agency
and was we'll acquainted with all the
Indians. When the uprising occurred in
1890, she volunteered her services as q
mediator to the war department. Score.
tary Proctor and General Schofield sane
toned her enterprise. She managed at
great personal risk to get into the camp
Of the hostile Indians, and although the
massacre Of Wounded Knee took place
she has always maintained that by Civ
ing General Miles timely information Of
the intentions subsequent to that che
averted q wholesale slaughter at the
agency.-New York Tribune.

Tho Irish Rain.

Unjust allow that it sometimes rains
in Ireland, but Irish rain is not quite
like other rain. 1t is, as q rule, softer
than rain elsewhere, and, if the truth
mast be told, I like rain, SO long as one
has not to say, For the rain it raineth
every day." Irish weather is not SO
much capricious as coquettish. It likes
to plague you, if but to prepare you to
enjoy the more its sunny, melting mood.
1t will weep and wall all night, and,
Ioi the next morning Ireland is one
sweet smile and seems to say: SIS it
raining I was yesterday? All, then, I'll
rain no more" And the runnels leap
and laugh. and the pastures and very
stone walls glisten; the larks carol on
their celestial journey; there is O pun
gent, healthy smell of drying peat; the
mountains are all dimpled with the joy
Of life and sunshine; the lake lies per.
fectly still, content to reflect the over.
hanging face of heaven, and just won't
your honor buy the stoutest pair Of
homemade hose from a barefooted, bare
headed daughter of dethroned kings,
with eyes like dewdrops and a voice
that would charm the coin out of the
most churlish purse? If on such morn.
ings as these you do not lose your heart
to Ireland, it must be made Of stern, un.
impressionable stuff indeed. - Black.

Sea Otter Fur.

The sea otter fetches, where the skin
Is perfect, almost any price the seller
cares to ask. provided he can find a
Russian, American or Chinese buyer.
Tho sea otter is nearly twice the size of
the common river otter, and the fur,
without finishing or preparation of any
kind, is more beautiful, as it is stripped
from the animal, than the richest seal
skin. which has to be scraped, plucked
Of the long upper hairs, and then dyed,
before It could be recognized as the beau
tiful object which the finished" fu1
undoubtedly is. In the sea otter's fur,
the soft undercoat-the true fur-is as
thick as that Of the seal, and nearly
twice as long, while the long outer hairs
are as soft as a sable's tail, and often
. pale gray, which gives to the whole
coat an appearance as Of dark fuI
slightly frosted over. The sea otter e
range was formerly from the Aleutian
islands to California, and its destruc-
ton will be deplored by naturalists nc
less than by furriers. Specta.

Dominic and Domino.

Differences that seem very slight in
foreign or provincial words may be very
real. and it is important to know and to
note them. An eminent New York
scholar calls attention, in this line, to
an erroneous use of the word dominic"
for domino" by a recent contributor
to The Sunday School Times. He says:
"The terms dominica and domino
both are plainly derived from the Lat
in, but do not mean the same thing.
The former is q Scottish usage for
schoolmaster only, and is universally
known because Of Dominic Sampson
in one of the Waverley novels. The lat
ter is Hollandish, respectful designa-
ton for q minister of the gospel only.
It is used very generally in the Dutch
churches in this country. but always in
a reverent and, indeed, affectionate
sense. 1t appears to me that the two
terms should not be COMPOUNDED, but
invariably confined to that application
which is required by their historic Or
igin."
This distinction is not generally
known, although the dictionaries point
1t out.-Sunday School Times.

A Genius For Farming.

Miss Annie Dennis of Talbottom, Ga. +,
is fine looking young woman Of 25.
who seems to have genius for farm
ing. According to Georgia paper, she
owns handsome estate of 1000 acres,
which she cultivates with great skill
and success. Upon it she conducts a
dairy. stock farm, a cannery, a pre-
serving establishment, q vineyard and
wine distillery and a piggery. Each of
these is prosperous to a high degree.
The owner is public spirited and ex-
hibits her products at every fair and
exposition. She began this work in 1888
and in seven years has carried off nearly
100 prizes. She ascribes her success to a
good education and careful reading. She
makes q special study Of the application
Of science, particularly chemistry, to
her fields Of industry and utilities every
new idea which appears.

CABLE AND COMMITTEE.

Influence Of the Rock Island Member In
Democratic National Politics.
The Chicago Record affords an idea
of the way Hon. Ben T. Cable is re-
garded in the council of the repre-
sentative men of the party. The
following taken from its reference to
the meeting of the committee in Chi
cago to arrange for the national dem
ocratic convention is Indicative:
81 am with Cable for anything he
wants, said Mr.. Neimann. who hold .
the proxy of E. c. Wall. He has
the respect and confidence of every
member of the committee. If he
wants the convention to 90 to Tat
tersalls am willing. and if he wants
it to 60 the Coliseum am with him
on that proposition
Chairman Harrity expressed him.
self the same way. Mr.. Sherley
spoke in the same line. and Mr..
Cable was buster than if the con-
vention was ready to be called to
order.
"Mr. Niemann, of Milwaukee, said
further that he believed that if Cable
wanted his state to be with Morrison
that it would do so. He added:
I'VE think good deal of Cable up
there. He is q young man and a
true one. 1 do not think Villas speech
will make him q candidate. One
can't tell, however. So far there has
been very little discussion in Wiscon-
sin. 1t is the republican party that
is having its own troubles there.
The people, believe, are for McKin-
ley. but the politicians are against
him. The paper with which l am
connected has been paying more at
tention to the republican fight than
to the democratic plans.
Mr. sheriey's Views on Morrison.
"Mr. Sherley, of Kentucky. said
the people of his state had heard of
Morrison:
1--WE think you have a great man
here in Illinois in the person of Nor
rison. 1 should not be surprised if
our state sent him the delegation
unless Carlisle should be q candi-
date. 1t looks to me as if every del
egate that comes into the convention
will have favorite son to vote for,
and then after the convention has
seen q complimentary ballot
cast to each of these it will settle
down to nominate some good man.
| should not be surprised if Morrison

AN important caucus of the repub.

AN important caucus Of the repub-
licans Of the Seventh congressional
district Of Chicago was held Saturday
which will have significant effect on
the manipulation Of the affairs Of the
party throughout the state. 1t was
none other than the triumph Of Con.
gresham George +. Foss over the
elements Of the Hertz ring headed by
w. T.. Boyce. and the result is re-
garded ~ insuring the withdrawal OF
Henry L. Hertz from the field
for the nomination for state treas.
urer. in favor OF DR.. Zeller.
Of Peoria. The object Of such q
transaction is to placate the cen.
trail city for the malicious and vim.

LONDON'S GREAT PARK.

With Ever Varying Cadence.

The Hum Of the Metropolis Peuetra8eo It
With Ever Varying Cadence.
The greatest attraction of Hyde park
is one which LoEdoners and most visit
ors fail to discover and appreciate. 1t is
a unique and subtle charm whose mean
ing only those can know who have fall
en- under it's spell. Hyde park. be it re-
membe1ed, is the only great plot of
verdure in the world set in the very
center Of great city. Boston Common
is but garden compared with it, Gen.
trail park may soon be hemmed in BY
New York's teeming millions, but not
yet. Hyde park is grateful refuge of
silence in the midst Of turmoil Only
upon its outer borders does the restless
mob infringe. Within. away from Rot
ten row, away from carriage drive and
fashionable promenade. there is always
rest, tranquility, silence-no, not 81
lence, but in its place the thing which
is the mysterious charm of the spot.
Find seat upon bench in the midst
Of the wide, sweeping, open green where
the eye sees only grass and trees, with
no sign Of the vast city on any side. Sit
for a few moments and listen-listen,
and there will come to your ears the
most wonderful sound in all the world.
It is the voice of London-an ever
changing, inarticulate, pregnant solil-
oquy. One day it will be the gentle
murmur of q sea she'll Again it is the
harsh grinding of the mill Of the gods
crushing human grain beneath its upper
and neither millstones. The mighty but
distant reverberation is sometimes q
triumphant harmony, sometimes minor
note. melancholy and despairing. The
myriad tongued voice which comes from
the east is sullen, protesting, enduring;
that from the west is careless chorus
Of pleasure and prosperity; that from
the north is a hopeful strain of patient
progress; that from the south is ca
dence Of struggle and sorrow, and the
whole is a symphony of human life, ma
jestic. inspiring, infinitely pathetic.
Nowhere save in this spot does the
greatness Of London impress itself upon
me.-Boston Transcript.
