Dromednries Like to smoke.

Dogs have been taught To smoke, but
they never seem to like it, but drome-
daries smoke and are particularly fond
of the weed. We have this on the testi-
mony of many celebrated travellers in
Egypt. Dromedary drivers rely more
on tobacco smoke for their control over
these animals than anything else.
When travelling on long journeys the
dromcdaries are in many cases required
to travel all day and night, and they are
kept up to their task by smoking cigars.
The driver carries triangular piece of
wood, which is pierced at one point like
cigar holder. This is inserted in the
animals mouth, the cigar being lit and
pressed into the hole in the same fash
ion followed by man. The dromedary
Immediately closes its eyes and pufrs

TOOK BRYAN'S ADVICE.
One Farmer Who Has Got Enough of
the Boy Orator.

James Shuman is a farmer who lives
near Anderson, Ind, and every year
he raises several hundred bushels of
wheat. During the presidential cam
paign of last year Farmer Shuman
heard w. J. Bryan. the free silver and
popocratic candidate, make couple of
speeches at Indianapolis and Anderson,
and he was particularly impressed with
the extreme earnestness and great pos
tiveness with which that know-it-all
statesman declared that If Mckinley
was elected the price of wheat would
go down, as result of the decreased
value of silver.
So Farmer Shuman resolved to act
on Mr.. BIyan's opinion about wheat
and dispose of his 1897 crop in advance
and before the price fell, provided Me-
kinley was elected.
Mckinley was elected, and when, on
the day after election, a firm of sound
money men--the Sbetterlys, of Lapel,
Ind.-offered to buy Farmer Shuman's
1897 wheat crop, he contracted to de-
liver it to them at So cents per bushel,
and congratulated himself on his fore
sight in taking Mr.. Bryan's advice and
in making such good bargain.
Farmer Shuman was called on to de-
liver the first so bushels of his 1897
wheat at IS cents a bushel about two
weeks ago, on day when his neigh
bors were selling their grain to millers
and dealers at one dollar per bushel in
cash. lie will fulfill his contract, Of
course, as any other honest man would
do, but it will be some little time be-
fore he again listens to the advice or
opinions of w. ]. Bryan or his fellow
popocrats. = Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune.

y great deal of time is devoted by
every boy TO making and rigging minia-
ture sailboats, although he may live
miles away from suitable sailing pond
and not even have the opportunity of

As the pleasure found in sailing boats
lies principally in the graceful action
OF the sails, the whirlgig shown in the
illustration furnishes just this same
attractive appearance as it revolves,
the boats following one another in
their circuit. the sails jibing gracefully
from port TO starboard in exact regu-

by Mr.. Bryan will be making one-night

Prosperity's Return.

The return Of prosperity was denied
by the democratic press until such de-
NAL became ridiculous, and now the
heavy task is to explain away the con-
trast between Mckinley and Harrison
times and Cleveland times. 1t is a hard
job, but II has to be undertaken. There
arc conditions under which organ

else, without regard to politics, can just
bask in the sunshine, and il he had been
calamity shrieker before simply re-
tire within his shell, so far as concerns
talking politics. But the democratic
editor, poor thing, is compelled by the
exigencies of his profession and politics
to keep right OH discussing politics
from the standpoint of his party. In
the calendar of the general public "the
melancholy days" will come about No
vcmber I, but the democratic editors
sadness is here already.-Chicago Inter

PRESS OPINIONS.

| DMr. Bryan is notseeklnS recrealon
among the farmers this summer.
DWill these sound-money people
never stop harping about wheat and
silyer?"
DLast year an ounce of fine silver
bought bushel of wheat. 1t takes two
of them this year. That is the way
wheat and silver keep together
TAmerican workingmen are not
emigrating TO Mexico in great numbers
nowadays. The idea of being paid half
wages in dollars only worth 40 cents is
not an attractive one.
DIs Mr.. Bryan doing anything to
checkmate the perpetuation Of another
"crime" in Mexico? 1t looks as though
the gold power" might be having de-
signs upon our sister republic.
DThe silver orators are finding diff
Guilty in finding people to listen to
them now. The cry dollar wheat"
knocks the most elaborate silver argu-
ment into smithereens in short order.
DThe cloudy appearance above the
manufacturing towns noticed these
days is not the smoke of battle due to
the Invasion of the enemy's country"
which Mr.. Bryan began just year
ago.
DThose farmers who mentioned
dollar wheat" when Mr.. Bryan tried to
talk silver to them should have had
more regard for the feelings of the
sensitive young orator from the banks
of the Platte.
DMr. Bryan's $1,000 (gold basis)
speech for Ohio has been drafted in the
rough. 1t may be necessary. before it
is delivered, to make some slight
changes in regard to the further de-
crease in the price of silver and few
other little things of that sort.
rTIt is an awful thing to see the gold
power of Europe grinding under its
heels the farmers of our country. The
latest evidence is the importation into
San Francisco of e450,0O0 of British
can farmers will be forced to take for
their surplus wheat.
r/No wonder the old soldiers at Buff
fslo greeted President Mckinley with
wild enthusiasm. He has been con-
stantly their friend in the 30 years since
he was one Of them, and is the one man
who has successfully made the march
from the position of private soldier to
that of commander-in-chief of the army
and navy, the president Of the United
States.
rZThe dollar which the farmer is
now getting for bushel of his wheat is
as good as the best gold from Klondike
or Colorado or South Africa. The dol
lar which the silver orators promised
him If he would follow them is worth
just 40 cents and still falling. The farm
er showed level head by sticking to
the metal which the wisest people of the
world have always accepted/as the safe
and unchanging measure of value.
D"In the coming campaign in the
Greater New York, the canvass will be
one Of the fercest and most momentous
in the history of American politics. 1t
will determine whether the great CEN
ter of American conservatism, wealth
and civilization, the second city of the
world, Is TO be given over to the forces
which last year fought madly for the
destruction of the stability of the So

terprise, its intelligence and it's sanity"
