A Perverse Generation.

The father of family nudged the
old bachelor who stood beside him on
the car platform. The old bachelor
knew what it meant. The father of a
family was about to revert to the
dreary old subject-his children.
II WONDER he said, ."why the boys

Well, boys are very different now,

That's all right. You needn't shake

spond to the breakfast bell few morn
ings ago. 1 went upstairs and told him
to get up Immediately. He's 10 years
old and he defied me. He said he
wouldn't get up; 1t was Saturday morn
ing and no school and he was going to
stay in bed as long as he wanted to.
How was that for the spirit of '76?
But I settled him. All right says I,
you stay right here in bed until your
mother tells you that you can get up,
but don't get up until she does Say,
you should have seen him Jump! He

Sudden Restoration OF speecb.

A child who had for some years been
speeches. from what appeared to be
paralysis of the vocal chords had been
under treatment at an institution for
deaf mutes in the hope that something
might be done to restore her lost fac
ulty. The physicians had failed to
produce any effect, and the little one
was to be sent home as incurable. The
children who were recovering their
powers of speech were singing a IA
vorite and inspiring hymn, when the
child, without the slightest warning.
joined in the chorus and sang heartily
and with tolerable enunciation. Later
she pronounced several words and
spoke with tolerable ease. The doctors
are somewhat puzzled and can give no
satisfactory explanation of the curious
circumstance.

that Is that all business and manu-
facture depends on the farmer" He
truly says we are debtor nation and
our Indebtedness Is held all over the
world. Did it ever occur to Mr.. Hol-
land that so long as we permit our ma
tional creditors to fix the prices of our
products we will never be anything
else but debtor nation? Will he con-
suit what is called the index number
tables, which show a constantly de-
creasing range Of the prices Of average
commodities, in which our interest
charges abroad are paid, and tell us
how we are to cease to be debtors If
this continues?
England's annual tribute from
America in interest equals at least
$500, 100000, which may all be cXacted
in gold. We do not produce 10 per
cent of that quantity of gold which is
available for payment, and must pay
in commodities at England's price. If
Mr.. Holland had note due in his
bank, and his bank knew that he could
only pay in stoves, what power would
Mr.. Holland have assuming that the
banker was good business mano to
enhance the price of his stoves?
There is much truth in Mr.. Hol-
lands statement of conditions, but the
circular is remarkable in that there is
no suggestion of remedy. He does
not tell us to have confidence" he
breathes no word of hope of better
times from tariff legislation; he does
not advocate the retirement of the
greenbacks. We can infer from his
leaflet that there Is no remedy unless
1t be the discovery of a cure for hog
cholera. Singularly enough, however,
in enumerating causes for conditions
he specifies in the same paragraph and
as concurring causes the increased ca
pacity for production of wealth by
electric devices and the destruction Of
wealth by hog cholera. Now. Mr.. Hol-
land, let us not burst In ignorance.
Please, please, tell us whether the in
creased production of wealth due to in
vention or the destruction of wealth by
hog cholera is the cause of our trou-
bles, or do both conspire to put US in
this miserable plight?

THE HISTORY OF A SONG.
''The Vacant CHAIR and Its Wartime
Origin.

''The Vacant Chair" and Its Wartime
Origin.
Almost every American Is familiar
with the song called THE Vacant
Chair" though comparatively few
know the name of the author of the
verses or the circumstances which gave
rise to their composition, says the New
England Magazine. A recent writer has
given sketch of Henry Stevenson
Washburn of Boston, who wrote the
words Of "The Vacant Chair" and OF
Lieut. John William Grout Of The Mas
sachusetts volunteers, whose heroic
death they commemorated
John William Grout was born In
Worcester, Mass, in 1843, son OF a
well known and wealthy manufacturer.
From the earliest age the boy manifest
ed intense love of things military and
distinguished himself at the Worcester
military academy, where he studied. At
the outbreak of the war his ability was
at once recognized by the authorities
and he was commissioned second lieu
tenant in company d Of the 18th Mas
sachusetts volunteers. He became very
popular in the regiment and was in
great demand as drillmaster. In the
field the young lieutenant displayed
conspicuous GOODNESS and bravery, but
his career was unfortunately very
brief. He lost his life in the disastrous
engagement which took place in Oc-
tober, 1861. near Poolsville, Md.
Young Grout was intimate with the
family Of Mr.. Washburn, being warm
friend of that gentleman's son and on
the Thanksgiving following the young
mans death Mr.. Washburn, sympa-
thizing with the family, which would
feel its bereavement doubly at that fes-
tival season, was inspired with some
verses, which were afterward published
under the name of "The Vacant Chair"
in the Worcester Spy and signed H. 8.
w. These verses met the eye Of Mr..
George Root Of Chicago, who set them
to music without any correspondence
with the author, as the lines were not
copyrighted The song appeared as
"The Vacant Chair, words by H. s. w.,
music by George F. Root" and at once
appealed to the public, selling in enor-
nous numbers. Mr.. Washburn, who
has been prominent business man and
was for some years in the house of rep
resentatives, is now "a years old and
lives in beautiful home in the Aber-
Seen district of Boston. He has writ
ten many pretty and touching verses
besides "The Vacant Chair" and not
long ago published volume containing
his principal poems.

Old-Bicycle Tires.

That the secondhand bicycle, or its
tire, has its uses Is evident from the
fact that for some time ingenious per-
sons have used the older inner tubes as
water or ice bags. The tube Is cut off
at the valve and the long section is
filled as may be desired for neat or
cold. In order to avoid the weight of
pressure at one end of the tube rib
bons or tapes are tied around the tube
at intervals, suggesting string Of sau-
sages. AS hot-water bag this ar
rangement is most desirable. If one
requires small bags the tube can be cut
in sections. one end sealed with ordi-
nary cement and the other. after fill
ing, may be tied with the string.

A Hugo Patent Swindle.

The patent office decision granting
an extension of eleven years to the Bell
telephone monopoly through the held
up Berliner patents is sustained by the
United States Supreme Court. The
patent Office is pretty near as rotten as
the Supreme Court, and 1t is time the
people gave them both thorough over
hauling. When corporation that has
been permitted and protected by the
Supreme Court and the patent office
in robbing the people of the United
States of one hundred millions in the
past ten years is now given the oppor-
tunity to continue their stealings for a
dozen years longer by such a bare
faced fraud as the Berliner patent, it is
time for some drastic measures to lie
taken with the guilty parties. The
Berliner patent is owned by the Bell
Telephone Company and held up in the
patent Office for nearly ten years, so as
to make sure of defending the Bell
monopoly dozen years when it was
adopted.-~1ournal Of the knights 81

A. COUNTRY OF SURPRISES.
Coal, Lead, Silver and Tin in South
Afsaca.


While there is little doubt that with
proper development of its agricultural
and pastoral resources South Africa
could be made practically self-support-
ing, the successful development Of these
industries depends nevertheless upon
the creation Of local markets through
the stimulus given by mining opera
tions, says the North American Re-
view.
With the exception of mining gold,
diamonds and coal there have been no
considerable explorations of its min
eral resources. Coal fortunately exists
in many parts of the country, and 1t
has been estimated that the known coal
fields represent an area of $4,000 square
miles, which is equal in extent to the
state of Iowa. There exist in some
parts of the country large deposits of
iron contiguous to the coal fields. But
as yet the economic conditions have
not favored the development of that in
dustry. Lead, silver. cinnabar, tin and
other metals are also found in many
parts of the country, but have not been
remuneratively worked. Among the
mining countries of South Africa the
Transvaal is facile princeps, and is in
all probability destined to maintain its
paramount position, though as is we'll
known, South Africa is "a country of
surprises" and it is possible, of course,
though not probable, that within its
great extent other equally important
districts may be discovered.

Our Cause Is the Cause of the World.

At your peril and cost let it be!
That river must seward, despite you,
Twill break down your dams and be

For our banner is raised and I'M

At your head our defiance is hurl-

Our hope is the hope of the age,
We laugh in the face Of the forces
That strengthen the flood they ops

For, the harder oppression, the ficrcer
The current will be when it flows.
We shall win, and the tyrant's battal-

Will be scattered like chaff in the
fight,
From which the true soldier of Free

Shall gather new courage and might!
For our banner is raised and I'M

At your head our defiance is hurl-

Our hope is the hope of the ages,
Our cause is the cause of the world!
Whether leading the van of the fight
In the bitterest stress of the strife,
Or patiently bearing the burden
OF changelessly commonplace life,
One hope we have ever before us,
One aim to attain and fulfill,
One watchword we cherish to mark us
One kindred and brotherhood still.
For our banner is raised and I'M
furled
At your head our defiance is hurl-

Our hope is the hope of the ages,
Our cause is the cause of the world
What matter if failure on failure
Crowd closely upon us and press?

Sugar Trust Profits CInched.

The trusts have n cinch on Dinglev
bill profits. or course they will make
many times more if the bill becomes
law in anything like its present shape,
but they are already engaged In taking
part of their profits
Sugar has risen considerably in an
ticipation of greatly increased duties,
and merchants all over the country are
laying in stores because still higher
prices are expected. The sugar trust is
consequently busy and rolling up prof
its. In April it imported 757, 799. 527
pounds of raw sugar, valued at $i4,747,-
l39. An extra profit of one-half cent
per pound ON this amount-which is al
ready realized or acknowledgements
nearly $i,00O,OOO TO the trust.
If the bill is two months longer in its
passage, the trust will surely pocket
$lO,000,O00 extra profits before the bill
becomes law. Who says protection is
not a good thing? And why shouldn't
