English Drinking SOnr.

The best Of the English drinking songs
were written by the dramatists Of the
seventeenth century, men who trolled
out their vigorous sentiments, linked
sweetly together in flowing verse, with
out the smallest thought or fear Of
shocking anybody. Frankly indecorous,
they invite the whole wide world to
drink with them, to empty the brim-
ming tankard passed from hand to hand
and to reel home through the frosty
streets, where the wGtchman grins at
their unsteady steps, and quiet sleepers,
awakened from dull dreams, echo with
drowsy sympathy the last swelling ca
dence of their uproarious song. Where
there Is no public sentiment to defy
even bacchanalian roters and baccha-
nallan verses cease to be defiant. What
admirable good temper and sincerity III
Eletcher's generous importunityl
Drink today and drown all sorrow:
You shall perhaps not do it tomorrow.
Best, while you have it. use your breath;
There Is no drinking after death.
Then let us swjll, boys. for our health.
Who drinks well loves the commonwealth,
And he that will to bed go sober
Falls with the leaf, still in October.
Upon this song successive changes
nave been sung, until now its variations
are b~ewildcring, and to it we owe the
ever popular and utterly indefensible
glee reared out for generations by many
q lusty tavern chorus:
he who goes to bed and goes to bed sober
Falls "a the leaves do and dies in October,
But hdNwho goes 10 bed and goes to bed mellow
Lives as. he ought to do and dies an honest
fellow.

American Lumber For Gliina.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l6.-Thirteen mill.
ion square feet of American lumber
were imported into China last year,
and according to United States Consul
Jernigan at Shanghai, most of thi.
came from Washington and Oregon.
The Chinese have completely denuded
Eastern China Of its timber and now
are drawing upon our timber. Recent
stimulation Of mill building in China
and the growing liking of he natives
for foreign style have led to much of
this demand.

Golden Medical Discovery is the great

the liver active, the digestion perfect, and

1t is the peril that attends maternity. No

THE COMING SHOWER OF STARS
AND RAIN OF FIRE.

The astronomers look for the next
great meteOrc shower on-the morning of
November 10, 1892 They calculate that
the earth will then pass again through
the centre of An immense swarm of me-
teoroids, as they are called before COM
bustion. These great "Leonide Star
Showers as they are called, occur at in
tervals OF every thirty three years and
one dag. The great shower of 1919 oc
CURED on November ~: that of 1888 on
November 13;that Of 1866 on Novem her
IA, and, consequently, repetition of the
next wonderful phenomena Is expec, ed
on the morning of November 10, 1890.
In the meanwhile, however, as the ag-
Rre0ation of neteorods is Of i'm mense
length, one end OF 1t will encounter the
earth In 1883 and the other In 1000, max.
ing, as Prof. Lewis Swift. the dstin.
guished astronomer, OF Rochester, n. Y,
says, considerable showers in those
years also. Not only this, but it is stated
on the same authority that many fore
runners OF the great shower may be ex-
pected to come within the earth's at1Ios-
phere on November IA, 1897, because
many of the meteoroids are always cor
siderably in advance of the main cluster.
Professor Swift says "the thickness of
the meteoroidal stream is 100, 900 miles,
AMI the duration OF the shower Is equal
to the time OF the diagonal passage of the
earth through 1t. usually from mid night
to dawn" He adds: GAS there is a
light shower Of Leon1s ey cry November,
we know that there Is vast ring formed
by the comets TAIL and that the i'm
mense shoal In sne portion Is the product
OF the exploded comet itself, through
which we pass once every thirty three
years and one day."
The meteoroids are' dark bodies, and 1t
is only when they pass into the earth's
atmosphere that they are ignited by fric-
ton and become visible for IL few seconds.
The stream makes n revolution around
the sun in about thirty three and one
fourth years, and by consequence the
earth passes through it in a new place
each year. The length OF the swarm is
so enormous that although at perihelion
it moves at the rate of nearly twenty-five
miles second, yet it takes it two years
to pass the earth, so that when its hinder
part is still with .us its advancing side
will have reached the orbits of Jupiter
and Saturn. Notwithstanding this ex-
tent, it is bur fraction of the entire or.
bit PI ofessoi Swift says: ''Ths great
cluster will reach the earth's orbit about
June l, 1889, but the earth will nos have
arrived there then, but will he due nearly
six months later, when our planet will
plunge into tie swarming mass, and for
Mt least five hours we shall experience a
literal rain of fire."

last. was representative in Congress
from Texas in Fittieth, Fifty first Fifty

had but little rest when Congressional
appropriations were under consideration.
He was born in Newman, Ga, in 1885,
and when II years old went with his par
ents to Texas. He attended the common
schools and served through the war in
the COME "erate army, reaching the rank
of adjntant general. His failing health

1t is the opinion of Treasury experts
that the countervailing duty placed upon
German sugar by this Government be.
cause of the German bounty will have
the effect of stopping almost entirely the
expectation of that product t. this coun-
try. 1t is estimated that Germany is
paying fraction over one-fourth of one
cent pound as bounty on raw sugar,
and as this amount additional will be
imposed on German sugars coming here
the result is easy to foresee For the
year ending June 80, 1897, of the $50, 973,-
GUS worth of sugar imported into this
country Germany furnished over 81 per
cent They thus discover that while this
country will loose by the exclusion of
American meats from Germany, they will
also suffer considerably by the shutting
out of German sugars from the United
States
