time. President Harrison offered him the place of secretary of state; in fact, know he could have had any office in the gift of the administration eight years ago. The suggestion for his ap- pointment as English ambassador to England came from ArlSell, of Judge" Mir. Arlell told me the circumstances re- gently. At the request of the president elect, whom he had visited at Canton, Arzell put out a cartoon to feel public sentiment toward the proposition. It brought an immediate and apparently overwhelming response. The newspa- pers all over the state of New York, dem- ocratic and republican, endorsed the suggestion. The members of the legis- lature, of both parties, were interviewed and gave it their approval. The orig inal McKineyites" and the machine" republicans united on it, and Gov. Mor- ton withdrew his own name in Mir. De pew's favor. MT. Depew told his friends that he breathed sigh of relief when he learned that he was not to be ap- pointed.
 When I spoke to MT. Depew of the disappointment had heard expressed in many quarters because he was not going to London, he said:
 q did not realize what it meant un- til word came to me one day that was likely to be appointed. It frightened me when I thought of the associations I would have to abandon, the position I would have to give up. It would have been a serious money sacrifice, and the more difficult breaking up of the association as counsel, trustee and ad- wiser of important interests which had grown up during more than quarter of a century, and at the end of four years where would l have been? MT. Morton was elected first to the vice presidency and then to the governor ship of New York. He did not give up his business interests, and his part ner, George Bliss, told me that he would rather have Mr. Morton contribute the prestige that his official position gave the firm than give his time to the man. agement of the firms affairs. William NJ. Eyarts went into the cabinet and to the senate. His political prominence brought business to tue firm of which he was member.

 The hand binding harvester with men to do the binding is out of date. and so is the left hand machine, which has been super. seded by the Mccormick Right Hand Open Elevator, the success of which makes it seem highly probable that there will be no pro gressive manufacturer building left hand machines in three years
 The application of roller bearings to grain cutting machinery was made by J. G. Perry in 1869, and his patent, No. S6,5S4, for an improved reaper, showed and described various ways of using roller and ball bear ings in harvesters. In view of these facts 1t is somewhat amusing to read the claims of certain reaper maker of the present day, who says he was the first to introduce roller bearings ill harvesting machinery As a matter of fact this manufacturer is com. paratiyely beginner in the art of reaper building and has originated nothing.
 Unquestionably the most practical and sat isfaetory application of roller bearings to binders and mowers has been made by the Mccormick Harvesting Machine Company The Particular form used by them was patent ed in 1882 and is now to be found in all Me. Cormick machines. The especially valuable

about financial crises and throw hun dreds of thousands of men out of em- ployment. It would be followed by suffering and want But I think it would arouse d national pride which is one of the most valuable assets of a nation-a pride which the American people have not and cannot have unless war develops it in them.' That sur prised me little. Not long afterward, I was talking with a United States sen ator-a leading member of the repub- lican party. l asked him what he thought of the Venezuelan controversy. He answered: If were the president of the United States and had the power to do it, would declare war with Eng land as soon as our nayy was completed and our coast defenses perfected. The people of this country want war with England and they are bound to have it some time. It might as we'll come now"
 Do you think our people are lacking in national feeling?"
 'No," said Mir. Depew. But there is no doubt they have feeling of an- tagonism toward the Englishman. Now the Englishman does not understand that at all He has no such sentiment toward us. A distinguished Scotch minister gave me an illustration of that fact from his own experience. At the over the Venezuela case, and the fact that Emperor William had patted Pres ident Krueger on the back, he preached in Edinburgh. Now the Englishman' s attitude toward the two incidents was this: He wouldn't fight us if we wanted him to, and he would fight the Ger man if the German would fight. Any one who has attended a service in d Scotch Coyenanter church knows the severe observance of decorum of the worshipers. The pulpit is as sacred to them as the chancel to Roman Catholic. During the course of hls sermon the minister referred to the Jameson incident, and said that the German emperor had only to pat l&rue- ger on the back and the English people would fight. To his surprise, the entire congregation applauded. It was done spontaneously, and the people looked very much embarrassed by their impul- sive outbreak. A minute later, the minister referred to the Venezuela con troversv, and said that no matter what the conditions, the English people would not fight the people of the United States, and again the congregation arose and cheered.
 Now, the Englishman thinks that we feel toward him as ke feels toward us-

He doesn't understand us. had occa- sion to open his eyes at a banquet in London, which, by the way, was never ambassador, Mr. Bayard, had always cultivated the false idea of the Eng ljshman that our feeling for him was as brotherly as his feeling for us. He made speech at this dinner in which lie followed that line of thought But when l spoke I told them the facts. They cried: Oh, mol but told them it was true. l told them the people of the United States were proud of their English lineage, but that they had no sympathy with the people and the in- stitutions of Great Britain; that cer tain incidents of history which were to be found in the school books had provoked a hostile feeling, and it was developed in the youth of the United States at school They would not be-
 ieve it, and very few of them, if any, understand it now They think that not only the kinship of the two peoples but the similarity of the governments should bring us in sympathy. You know that with the exception of the monarch, the government of Great Brit ain is very like our own; in fact, the house of commons is a far more demo- cratic body than our house of repre- sentatives. The commons can declare var and can take away titles and prop erty without asking the consent or ap- proval of anyone,"
 MT. Depew was generally accepted as the choice of the country for ann bassador to Great Britain just after the close of the campaign, both because of his fitness for the place and because of the work he had done for the re- publican party. He never came so near being an ofhce-holder as he did this

It May Not Come Soon, But It's Certainty
 Some Time Says Mr. Depew.
Antagonism Toward the British-They Do Not Understand the Yankees-The Art
 of Diplomacy
Copyright. 1S97.I

Chauncey NJ. Depew says a great many men who are competent to judge the condition of the public mind think war with Great Britain inevitable. It may not come in the next half century but it is coming. Sitting in his home on West Fifty-fourth street the other day MT. Depew told me why.
 .There is a strong feeling of antag- onism to the English among the people of America" said Dr. Depew. "It is the opposite of the feeling of the Eng lishman for the people of the United States. There is a sentimental feeling among Englishmen which few Ameri- cans appreciate.
 Isn't it commercial ?" I said.
 'sNo, it is purely sentimental" MT. Depew answered. "It is the feeling that blood is thicker than water-that, speaking the same language, coming CTS of the English people and their natural allies. There is one man in England who does not look at our reia- tions that way. He is Lord Salisbury. When the Venezuela question was at a critical point Lord Salisbury said to a friend that war between the people of the two countries was inevitable some time-that it might not come for 50 years and it might come any minute; and it might be just as well to let it come now. English sentiment, how ever, did not support this position.
 Shortly after hearing of tha remark I returned to New York from a trip abroad and, meeting state senator, spoke to him about the Venezuela ques- tion. He said: In my judgment, we should declare war on England to-mor- row. I figure that it would cause the failure of one-half the commercial en. terprises in this country, would bring

It has been said that the conyeniences of one age become the necessities of the next; but no ordinarily sane man will contend that the necessities of one age should be- come the inconvenences of the next When
 binding was done by hand the left hand cut harvester was necessity The grain fell on the platform of the harvester and was de- livered into the receiver with it's heads towards the rear of the machine. The men stood in the receiver facing the grain With the left hand machine the heads of the grain are at the left hand of the man doing the binding, so in taking out the bundle with the band around it, whether the man turned to the front table or to the back table he kept his position toward the bundle itself-that is, with the heads toward his left hand; hence, in making the tuck he showed the ends under the band toward the heads. Grain is handled by the shocker by grasping into the heads, as shown in the

Deafness ia caused by an inflamed condition of the mu- eous inning of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infamed you have runblin9 sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness IS the result. and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal con dition, hearing vii be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh. which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

COLLEGES FOR NEGROES.
4 Southern Magazine Wants Them
 Made Industrial Schools.

Mauc tn0uStrlaI ScnO0IS.
 There are in the southern states near ly 100 endowed schools and colleges de- voted to negro education. These insti- tutions represent an investment of near ly SJ0,000,0 GOO, and are maintained at an annual expense of about $4,000,000
 Most of these colleges have been in operation for the past go years, some of them for the past 30 years. It is quite safe to estimate, however, that at least 50 of these schools have graduated a class every year for the past 20 years, and to estimate further that the grad uating classes have averaged 30 mem- bers each. This very conservative esti- mate indicates that the negro colleges have graduated 30,000 pupils.
 It is time that the philanthropists look about them and learn the results of their we'll meant expenditure. Let them investigate. Let them follow the his tory of negro graduates and learn the emptiness of college honors. Let them study the lives of the prosperous, use ful negroes everywhere in the land. They will look long and sorrowfully for CllC SOilSSC dlHOnS pllS ldlLtT class. But they will discover that go out of every 100 of these prosperous negroes are men trained in youth to lives of industry and economy.
 We recommend, therefore, to the gen erous men and women of the north that they study the results of their philan- thropy before devoting further sums to the support of negro colleges. We be- lieve that results warrant reform in the course of study now in practice at these institutions. 1t would be an un- speakable boon to the negro race if these colleges were converted into in- dustrial training schools. There are two or three institutions of this char acter now in operation. and it is quite within the limits of truth to say that they are of greater material benefit to the race than the combined influence of all the colleges in the land-Dixie.

4 good story is told of the late Count Gleichen when he was ambassador in London. At dinner party it was hard luck to have to conduct to table a lady of taclturn and unresponsive nature. To all his polite nothings she answered never word. Nothing daunted, he continued to ply her with small talk, till at last she slowly turned her head toward him and deliberately yawned.

feature of the Mccormick roller bearing is seen in the form-or cage as it is called which holds the rollers from running to- gether, and if for any cause the cage is taken from the shaft the rollers will not fall out and get lost. In order to avoid the McCor- mick patent the other harvesting machine company who claims to be the originator of roller bearings in harvesters has cut out the metal in the ring at the ends of the rollers. If the cage is taken out the rollers slip out and become filled with grit, or worse, get lost.
 The methods of the Mccormick Company result III an annual saving of many thousands of dollars to the farming public New de. vices are not embodied in their machines until long and oft-repeated trials have shown them to be practical. It has been the same with the roller bearings as with every thing else Mccormick experimenting i. done at Mccormick expense and not at the expense of the farmers, who are too often duped by manufacturers who rush into print for notoriety and bull the market with impractical forms.

A CHAPTER ON COLDS.
Simple Precautions That May Fre-
 won't Serious Consequences.
The Danger of NegIecting n s.Common III COId"-SeriOus mud Often Fatal MnIndies May Result from
 CnreIcssness.
From the News. Harrisonbufg. La.

 In most instances colds are the result of imprudence or a lack of forethought. Even in cases where a sudden change Ill the weather or an unavoidable exposure is re- sponsible for the first slight cold, fresh and more severe colds may be avoided by ob- serving a little care. But "a mere cold'' is such common thing and causes so little inconvenience that notwithstanding all pre- vious experiences we neglect to take the most simple precautions, ill the way of wear ing suitable clothing. the avoidance of draughts, etc.
 One should always bear in mind the necessity of exercising constant vigilance to avoid catching cold. When the tenn perature in the house is higher than out of doors, never go out without putting on an 1 additional wrap. Never sit in cold room even though you do not feel chilly. And it is better to suffer a little discomfort from wearing heavy underclothing than to run the risk of chill.
 The following letter from lady in Sicily Island, La., graphically illustrates the dis dressing consequences that are liable to follow simple cold:
 3In February, 1896, had severe cold which settled on my lungs, resulting in serious cough. My appetite failed, and l became so weak that was scarcely able to walk across the room. 1 weighed only ninety-four pounds, and had given up all hope of recovery when 1 happened to read
 
 cures effected by Dr. Williams Pink Pills, and concluded to try them. q commenced using them, and before had taken half box I felt like new crea- ture My appetite was restored, my cough grew less, and 1 was able to sleep soundly at night, which l had been unable to do for months before.
 After taking two boxes of the pills was weighed again and to my astonishment my weight was ll3 pounds, gain of l9 pounds: Previous to taking the pills i had suffered with cold hands and feet, but now have no trouble whatever from that source.
 q can truly say l am now in better health than have been for years. The effect of the Pink Pills is wonderful, and l can reeom- mend them in all cases of debility and weak ness.
