The general rule that adversely brings
those having differences of opinion more
closely together does not seem to work in
the case of the Democrats aud Populists.
Although they were thoroughly defeated
in the last fall election, they go on quar-
reliing among themselves more vigorously
than ever 1t is now quite apparent that
the Populist party is completely torn
asunder and with no prospect of reunion.
The Democratic party is not only torn
asunder, but absolutely into fragments.
The gold wing of the party is making
such strides in its organization and cap
ture of men who o-operated with the sill
yer wing last fall as to strike terror to the
hearts Of Chairman Jones and his follow
ers, while the protection element of the
party is gaining strength and courage
every day, as shown by Congressman

on the day Of closing the debate on the

Fulton,s snhmnrlne Boat.

M. Eugene Debosc of the French
navy has recently published a paper
in which he says that Robert Fulton
launched a submarine boat named
the Nautilus at a point near Rouen
on July 20, 1900. His experiments
with the craft on that day lasted
three hours, and the stretch of wa
ter occupied was between Bannapul
and the woodward of Citizen Thi-
bault," where the depth was 25 feet.
The experiments were successful,
and the next day the inventor went
down the Seine to Havre, where the
harbor was placed at his disposal.
The boat sank and rose at will and
moved beneath the water impelled
by a screw which Fulton had de-
vised, worked by hand, thus antici-
pating the later application of the
principle by Ericsson. He sought
aid of the French government, which
he did not obtain, and then went to
England, where q similar disap-
pointment awaited him. Pitt, then
prime minister, i'll the midst of his
Napoleonic wars, took an academic
interest in his invention, but gave it
no material furtherance. The fact
appears to have been generally for

Have Americans Any Social Standards?
Foreigners are always puzzled by
our lack of social standards. Our
country is so vast and complex that
they never see it whole. They are
always trying to find out who sets
the pace for American life, and they
can discover no order of precedence,
no rank in occupation, no dominant
city. We have been gradually work
ing into this state of affairs. We
were not democratic when the Dec
laration of Independence was signed
nor when Washington took the oath
as president.
Many people have the idea that
the size of a city determines its SO
cial importance, and that New York
sets the standard of living for the
rest of the country.
The fact that New York has be
come the publishing center of the
country has helped its aggrandize-
ment more than anything else. The
great publishing firms, whether OF
books or magazines, and the great
newspaper establishments are 10
Gated there. Society stories, both
the fictitious ones of literature and
the real ones of the reporters, have
their scenes laid along IA narrow
area extending from Washington
square to the northern limit of Cen
trail park.-Miss Frances M. Abbott

HE SCOTCH.

A valentine addressed to Mr.. Ian Maclsren
Of Drumtochty by his sincere admirer, John
Kendrick Bangs.1
You've superseded our national game
And given to those who scoff
At national things a sport you call
The wonderful game of golf.
You've put in the place of negro tales
The tales, which you say are true,
OF the dialectual q-ueernesses of
Old Sandy MacGraw MacHugh.
You've put on the necks of our Jude SO
brave,
All in linz with your dominant plans,
Instead of the ties of the Englishmen
The plaids of the Scottish clans.
But in all Of your lives there are just two
things
You Scotchmen will never do,
In spite your genius and dialect
And Sandy MacGraw MacHugh.
Our climate Is such you never can make,
No matter how much you vex,
Us wear the bare knees OF the highland
man
Or the skirts of the opposite sex.
And finally, sir. 1t matters no jot
How hard you Scottish men try,
You'll never succeed with all of your Scotch
In spelling our love for rye.

HE was a perfect servant to a very
imperfect master, wrote an English
sportsman of his negro henchman, John
Thomas, who had been his right hand
man during five years wandering in
South Africa.
When DR.. Livingstone and Mr.. Os-
we'll, the hunter, made their journey in
search of Lake Ngami, they held out
the inducement to their followers that il
they were successful they would not at
tempt to press on farther. But success
bred in the explorers the wish to do
nore, and though they were bound to
stand to their agreement they called a
meeting of their servants and put the
Isl before them.
No one would be asked to accompany
the two white men, who had decided to
push on farther, but if any n was will
ing Il do SO they would be very glad.
Those who wished to return home would
be supplied for the journey. For a few
minutes there was silence. Then ont
stepped John and said:
what you eat l can eat where you
sleep l can sleep; where you go I will
go. I will come with you"
The effect was instantaneous. "We
will all goi' was the cry. "Do you
think, after that" writes Mr.. Oswell
in telling the incident it was much
matter to us whether orr brother was
black Or white?"

Lime For Glover.

For q good many years past there has
been a general complaint among farmers
in the older states that it was impossi-
BILE to get a catch of clover as freely as
in olden times. Some have attributed
this to a lack of potash i'll the soil, and
there is no doubt that light applications
of potash have stimulated Il growth of
clover where it would fail otherwise,
but it seems to be now a settled fact
that the failure is more often caused by
acidity of the soil that can be remedied
by a moderate application of lime,
Glover catches more freely i'll IA lime
stone soil, and those farmers who have
applied 10 or 10 bushels of lime to the
acre have no trouble in growing an
abundance of clover annually. We all
know how freely it INT in wherever
wood ashes are spread or even where
there has been a little fire of brush in
the field, and it is probably as much
from the lime that is in these ashes as
from the potash that the soil is made
receptive to the clover plant. II.

Two manufacturers sat in a Chi

topics and finally drifted into a dis
