OLD GLORY PULLED DOWN.

The Briton and the Britons colonists
did the jubfleeing and the Americans
did The toadying and putting up the
cash. It is asserted that the Princess of
Wales feast for the poor Of London
was principally paid for by million
aire and toadying American. The man
shown the most honor in the parade
and subsequent festivals was the
queens governor of Canada. All Of
the representatives of the colonies were
toasted and feted. The real feeling of
the British toward the American was
evidenced Oh jubilee day up at Halifax.
An American by the name of Thomas
Londs put up the Stars and Stripes at
his residence on Sackville street, and
Americas emblem was promptly torn

WALL STREET CATCHES 1T.

Once in a while some well known
h,IbIic writer will throw all the force Of
his energy. genius and brilliancy into a
single article or production. Such ef-
forts will be along lines in which the
writer entertains more than ordinary
feeling or convictions, and when thus
written they read as If inspired. Such
an article viii be found IN the current
Ridpath. its'editor. His theme is Wall

by defense of the methods OF that
combination of creed, greed and plum

VIVID PICTURES.

Julian Hawthorne, who has been Wis
iting India for the purpose of verifying
the truth of the reported horrors of the
plague. gives his experience and what
he saw through the illustrated pages of
the current number of The CosmopoE-
TAM in which the distinctive features
of the plague in India and the pageant
in London are made to stand out in
vividly contrasting lights. The pic
lures he furnishes Of both pen and
camera are horrible beyond words The
empire of India, from which Queen
Victoria receives her principle title, is a
vast charnel house of disease, deStitu-
ton and death. John Brisben Walker,
the editor, in the same number, puts
the burning question: What is this
boosted society which, by its heartless
expenditures at such a time proves IL
self SO innately vulgar?" Great Brit
ain, and no one else, or power. is re
sponsibie, as much for the suffering in
India as for the pageant in London.

THE COLD FACTS.

The United States Republican central
committee, in a circular, says that the
cold facts as to the cause of the increase
in explorations of Manufactured goods
from the United States during the exist
ence of the Wilson law are beginning TO
come TO The surface. Even Democratic
papers are now admitting that this alb
normal increase in expectations is due
10 the fact that manufacturers were
either compelled to sell their goods
abroad 1t any price they could get Or
close their establishments because Of
the business depression at home and
the fact that the home marke. was filed
with foreign manufactures. The Mem
phis ''Scimitar" Democratic), discussing
t..is subject, says: There is every rea-
son to attribute this rapid expansion of
This part Of our export trade during the
Last few years TO the fact that the de-
preston of the home market forced

nal also publishes letter from prom
inent business man of that city, who
SAYS: There is not q shadow Of doubt

which have prevailed, caused by stag

Water for Rabbits.

S. II. R.-The food OF rabbits is al
ways green stuff of some kind, and as
Eine-tenths Of this is water. these ami
mails never need drink. At least, no
breeder or fancier of these animals
ever gives them drink. When kept in
confinement, and green food is not
easy to procure. the grain is always
stepped in water. In wild state rab-
bits feed at night, when there is dew.
which supplies them with sufficient
water.
