IRISH VISIONS.
A story of the Magic Influence of the
 Fairy Thorn.

It was the experience of q northern farmer. The road was long and lonely that led to the market town, and he had to be up betimes to catch the early mar ket. With his stout thorn stick in his hand he set out in the darkness from his home. He knew his road well. but as he passed on he was aware of com pany, of hurrying crowds. and they did not seem to lessen, but rather increase. till suddenly he found himself entering village street where village there never had been any. The crowds seemed unwilling of his presence and all pursued their business with the greatest activity. But as he passed along the street his stick was quickly snatched from him. and in a moment the vision was gone. ''as the baseless fabric of q dream"
 He looked on every side but nothing could he see. The darkness only thick ened as the mist hung close upon the desolate wayside. What could it all mean? And as he thought of a strange occurrence he remembered how he had cut branch the day before from the old thorn tree in spite of an old man $ warning that he should not medd,e with fairy thorn. So the little people had claimed and taken back their own again. Such was the story as my father told it to me long ago in the black north. And still when go along the old familiar roads I see here and there, growing perhaps in the midst of some cultivated fieid old. weather-worn. storm beaten thorn trees, and if peas ant is asked; Why is that old use less tree left here?" he will answer: That is fairy thorn," and he thinks the answer sufficient.-London Spec tator

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

The republicans are expecting wheat, not the Dingley law. to pull them through in Ohio and Iowa this year.-Galveston News.
 The sugar trust has to divide s35.- 100000, which represents the prosperity that has struck it since the Dingley subsidy was secured.-Kansas City Times.
 The Dingley differential is giving the sugar trust more money than any other combination of dozen men is ever known to have received for politi- cal services in the history of the coun- try.-N. Y. World.
 In regard to the little matter of increase of wages in protected indus tries. Mir. Mckinley begs to ask the workingmen if bread isn't going up? What do the workingmen want any how the earth ?-Albany Argus.
 The gold organs are trying to de- stroy parity" with their mouths. Right in the midst of what they call prosperity" they shout in a frenzied way that the silver dollar is only worth 40 cents. This would be sad, if true.- Atlanta Constitution.
 Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof, of course, but it is no harm to ask what we will do for prosperity next year if we don't have a foreign famine to help us out. Dingleyism isn't show ing disposition to be up and doing Hinghamton (N. Y.) Leader.
 It is hardly fair to hold the repub- licans responsible for the famine in Europe and the consequent rise fin wheat, still they seem to be willing to have it charged up to them, since they are bragging so much about the rise in wheat.-Buffalo Times.
 There has been plenty of pre- tentious legislation for the farmer. but ii assumes an ignorance on his part that cannot distinguish the real from the fictitious; childish simplicity in him that finds satisfaction in the gllttering bauble and lets shrewder heads take the substance. Nothing could more clearly indicate the contempt in which the farmer is held than does all this mass of legislation euacted in behalf of agri- culture, and apparently accepted by it ss satisfs~tory.-St. Paul Globe.

They Stay Put.

The uncertainties of human nature make any kind of business precarious that depends upon it. "l can fit peo- ple's bodies easy enough" said a wise tailor once, but ii takes pretty close trimming sometimes to fit their minds ''
 The old man in a familiar story of Mount Desert was also aware of the truth expressed in this saying. He was asked by summer visitor: How in the world do you manage to make a living here?"
 "Waal," said the native, there ain't anything much to make round here, now that's a fact. But ye see, in win ter l haul logs, and in summer 1 haul mealers, and 'twiXt them two | man. age to scrape along somehow"
 "Mealers?" said the visitor. What are they?'
 Why, mealers is folks that live in cottages and hain't got strength enough to walk rod and have to be kerried to the hotels for their meals.'
 "Oh. And which do you like the bet ter-hauling logs or hauling mealers ?''
 "Waal, l dunno. Logs is harder to h'ist-there ain't no two ways about that. But when you get 'em h'isted, there they be! l guess I'd a leetle ruth CT haul logs. O the twol"

 Hello. hello!" called. "Why don't you answer, Louise? What is the mat ter?"
 something we did not expect this afternoon. The shutters had been fas. tened, the dogs united, and Nanette had put up bed for Blaise in the hall in order to save us the terrors of last night, when boy from the village brought note for Blaise. His mother has suddenly been taken very Ill. and she wanted him to come to her imme- diately. The boy, whom we had never seen before, went away again as soon as he had delivered the note. withouf giving us any further information. Blaise, who adores his mother. was quite upset. He did not want to leave us alone before daylight, but his sor- rcwful face told how dearly the delay would cost him. I thought that if this woman dies tonight, shall have pre- vented poor Blaise from receiving her last blessing. So l overcame my scru- pies and made him go. He promised to return this evening. and to save time he will drive back. 1 have just bolted the doors after him. That is why kept you waiting. Now, how is that business affair getting along?"
 Very well. but let us talk about yourself. You should not have let Blaise gc. Even if he drives back, he cannot return before ten or eleven o'clock. My sole confidence was in knowing that he was near you, and now he is gone And then that boy who ran away before you had time 10 think of making sure his news was true! At any rate, Blaise has left you the two dogs and the gun, has he not?"
 "The two dogs Te asleep on the porch. As for the gun. Blaise must have left it in the hall. l shall go and make sure. Can you hear Marcel? He is sit- ting in my lap. and is saying good nigh, to you. Listenl"
 Good night, papa, good night"
 Good night, my darlings. I must get bite of dinner now, and then will call you again"

A Rare Article.

Some years ago it became the duty of a certain nobleman to wait upon he queen whilst she was in residence at Balmoral. A friend having asked his lordship to engage a skilled piper for him, the peer thought the queens own piper was the best man to consult upon the matter, and accordingly he sought for an interview with him. The piper, grand sample of Highlander and a fine player besides, as.ed what sort of piper was wanted, and was told in reply: "Oh, just one like your self" WherevpCn the naughty High lander remarked: There are plenty lords like yourself, but very few sic pipers as me."-Detroit Free Press.

REMOVAL OF ONE FALSE ISSUE.
The Republican DimctaiIism Dodge
 ExpOsed.

Many silver republicans voted for Me kinley because of the pledge ill the pia- form in favor of international bimetal- pledge was simply dodge to fool the people.
 None of the republican leaders is de- sirous of establishing bimetallism, eith- CT through national or international action. All of these leaders knew that so long as the settlement of interna- tiona bimetallism rested in the hands of England, the policy of gold mono metallism was safe, and for this req son they inserted the plank referred to, believing that it would catch votes and thus in reality make the gold mon~- tary system all the more secure.
 The republican press realizes that the international bimetallism dodge has been played for the last time. It has served the purpose for quarter of century and is now completely worn out and discredited. No longer will this bait be used to catch gudgeons. not because there is any change in the ethics of the gold clique, but because the ltdhels ictOS uilt tndt tut tTlck udS lOSt it's attraction. Now the fight is to be made squarely on the issue of gold, and the people should hail this change of front as an omen of victory.
 The sentiment in favor of bimetal- lism is growing stronger every day in the United States. But for bribery, in- timidation and false promises on the part of the republicans the people would have won in the last presidential campaign. Now that the issue has been made plain; that falsehoods have been exposed; that international bimetal- lism has been shown in its true light, the people will flock to the support of that party which has their interests at heart, and will. by their united votes in 1898 and 1900, establish national bi- metallism and thus restore the pros perity that was destroyed by the de- monetization of silver.-Chicago Dis patch.

There does not seem to be any sufficient virtue left in the republican party to enable it to escape uusssisted from the tangle of corruption and ex- travagance in which it has become in- vclved. It is the mere plaything of self-helping schemers who use it for their own advantage and advancement. Record.

1t prove innocent Of bad results. A writer
In a recent issue of "Our Animal Friends
seeks to dispel some popular illusions re-
garding hydrophobia that are well worth
repeating in brief. at this particular time
OF year. He asserts that the mad dog
does not dread water. but that he gladly
plunges his head in it. even though he can
not swallow 1t. Again, the mad dog does
not run about with evidences of intense ex-
element. but joys slowly along, in a
nournful manner, avoiding society and bit
Ing only when approached. Nor does the af-
ficted animal bark, yelp or growl his only
utterance while affected being a hoarse
howl and that but seldom. He does not, &C
cording 20 this authority, froth at the
mouth but his disease Is marked by the ap-
pearance about his lips of thick, ropy,
brown mucous that he tries to scrape off
with his paws. The writer gives these
facts which he declares to be based on OBJ
servation and scientific testimony, for the
sake of these faithful creatures. Many
dogs are undoubtedly killed during summer
without reason, but 1t has always been held
to be safe rule that an ounce of preven-
ton. especially in case of suspected rabies
Is worth pound of cure. The writer finally
asserts that dogs are no more liable to
rabies in July and August, in the dog
days" than at any other time of the year
