Thermometers.

At times of severe frost many per. sons not skilled in the use of thermom- eters report remarkably tow tempera. lures. Those are often due to tho ther- momotrio liquid having partly evaporat- ed from the main column and condensed at the end of the tube farthest from tho bulb, the thormometcr then reading just as many degrees too low as there are degrees of spirit at the top of the tube. Good thermometers arc just as liable to this error as common ones, and there- fore every ono using i spirit minimum thermometer must De on tho alert. Gen orally the owner Can restore tho ther- mometer without sending it back to the maker. Grasp the thermometer firmly, resting finger on tic tubo so that there ba no vibration, and, holding the bulb downward, give several strong, pendu- lous swings. This will usually send the spirits from the top and send the index Ito tho bulb Stand the thermometer bulb downward for an hour, then re- verse 1t and very gently shako the in- ae1 out of tho balb and let it slide to the end of tie column, when the ther- mometer will be as good as new.--NeY York Ledgar

TIE Arkansas Democrat has again demonstrated it's enterprise and superiority as a great newspaper. On Wednesday, during the session of the Commercial Convention, the Democrat issued a special State Commercial edition of 20 pages de- voted to the commercial interests of the Stase, which was highly credit able to the Democrat. In this edition every county in the State was represented by write-up' of its resources and products; Q page was devoted to the Little Rock B ard of Trade; the eleemosynary in stitutions of the State and the State Government were also elaborately represented; the pro- ceedings of the Commercial Conven- tion were published in full, and a write up with a likeness of the members Of the General Assembly was also . pleasing feature This edition is the work of Mr. Hal David and his efficient staff, which is a sure guarantee of the complete ness and success of whatever he and his corps of assistants undertake The commercial edition found a very ready sale among the delegates to the Commercial Convention, and was q very gratifying feature of the meeting to tue delegates and the business public.

BIRDS OF ILL NATURE.
Tho Cruelty Of Swans as Displayed Toward
 Other FoUias

The Cruelty Of Swans as Displayed Foward
 Other FoHia.
 Among thoso birds which stay al home. especially the most domesticated. there is often an exhibition of unkind- ness seemingly unaceountable, says a writer in The Gornbill Magazine The graceful swan, e. g., is one of the most uagraeious in it's ways. Not only Gin the breeding season4 does a male bird resent the intrusion Of q strange gentle. man, but it will spond the day in driy- ing off from it's domain any unluclzy geese, which might be plainly assumed to have no designs upon it's domestic ar. engagements and haYo, indeed, no desire beyond that fora comfortable wash and swim. I5Will also pursue oven the most innocent of newborn duoklings while they unwittingly rejoice in sn early taste of their common clement.
 When an only child has passed out o1 tka eygnet s5age of life and grown tc full physical if not montal maturity, father and laother swans have beor known to fall upon and deliberately beat it to death with wing and beak. The gTatiGea parents swam gracefully ahout the mere in which they lived, whilo the great Whito corpse of theil son lay, batte5ed and dead, upon the shore. The following year, after another had heen bonn to them and ill infancy carried upon bis mothers back, they be gan totreat him soroaghly that, not Bo. ing pinionea like them, he wisely flew away and VIC saw him no more. Ouri. oasly enough, geese which have expert enced rudeaoss from swans in tho lusty spling havo been known to retaliato in the oalmcg autumn, when the fiereenega of their enemy had become mitigated. | have seen a gander leap upon the back Of a once arrogant swan and pound away at it in the full enjoyment of gratided revenge. = San Francisco Chronicle.

WHEAT MARKET.
Opens Weak, Improves for a Time,
and Again Declines

CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-Wheat started
rather weak. Liverpool opened with a
decline Of ed, and had made a further
drop of I'D or 112d in ALL before busi-
ness of the day commenced here. Paris
was reported as showing the equiva-
lent of 14c per bushel advance at the
opening, but the Liverpool decline re-
ceived the greater consideration, and
caused December wheat to open here
at decline of 1@14c per busheI. The
decline favored those who were al
ready short, and was seized upon as
good opportunity to secure a quick
profit. Some bulls also who had sold
out before took on new lines, and the
result was gradual Improvement.
December started at SS34@S9 or Ia
1Hc below Saturdays close and had
advanced to S9$4, when a heavy de-
crease in the visible was announced
This caused renewed buying, the price
reaching 9034c for a moment. Follow
ing that came the closing cable, which
showed material declines at all the
chief foreign markets. This created a
revulsfon of feeling, and by 11:30
o'clock the price was back to S915c. The
market ruled dull during the closing
hour, with December around S915. The
closing prices were $685. for December
and ~ for September.

FRYE REPLIES TO CHANDLER
RELATIVE TO DISCRIMINATING
CLAUSE IN TARIFF BILL.
Denies That It Was incorporated in

Legitimate Methods.

BOSTON, Aug. 30.-A special to the
Herald" from Auburn Me-. gives
Se7-2 tor Frye's reply to the charges
made by Senator w E. Chandler. re-
Gently to the effect that the tariff
clause providing for a 10 per cent addi-
tional duty on foreign manufactured
goods brought into the United States
through Canada, was passed by leg
islative trick
Senator Frye says Senator Chandler.
as to some Of his facts, is mistaken and
certain Of his insinuations are not we'll
founded
LAS to facts" said Senator Frye, "a
serious and long continued attempt was
made to have the Senate Finance
Committee adopt and report to the
Senate substitute for Section D. Fail
ing to secure a report Of this amend
ment TO the Senate amendment, it was
then advocated verv earnestly before
the conferences, but failed of success.
This attempt was open; was advocated
in the presence of several Senators. not
of the committee. at different hearings
and preparations made for its discus
sion in the Senate"
Senator Frye referred to the fact that
all the tariff laws for a great many
years have contained a 10 per cent dis
eliminating clause on dutiable goods.
THE committee" he said, recon-
mended that this provision be amend
ed so that the free as we'll as dutiable
goods be included. and that the per
cent be reduced. but did not name the
reduction. Their purpose was simply to
have the law in the best possible CON
dition whenever if ever Congress
should. after full consideration, deter

In conclusion Senator Frye said "Of
how this amendment was secured I
know nothing. but that it was by leg

FATE OF THIEVES
An Unknown Man Lynched On the
SkagIay Trail.

SEATTLE, Aug. 30.-An unknown
man has been shot on the Skaguay trail
by a committee of vigilantes and his
bones are now rotting beneath a pile of
rocks within a few rods of the pass.
This news was brought down by the
steamer Utopia, which arrived this
morning at 3 o'clock from Skaguay.
The story in general is all that can
be learned, the details being unknown
among the Utopia's six passengers.
Some time ago a sack Of flour was
stolen. Suspicion pointed to a man who
was encamped near the summit. A
committee of six was chosen to ferret
out and punish the thief. These men
went to the tent of the suspected man,
and found the missing sack. The man
begged for mercy, but the committee,
satisfied of his guilt decreed that he be
Immediately killed.
The man was dragged from the tent
and tied upright to a pole. The COM
mitteemen stood off a short distance,
and at a word shot together. The thief's
body was pierced in six places. Feeling
their duty done, and sick of their task,
the vigilantes left at once, not even
waiting to put the bleeding form be-
meath the ground. For three days it
hung there in full view of those passing
with their packs. The od0r emanating
from the decaying body became so Of
fensive that two men cut it loose, and
carrying it up a hillside, covered it with
a pile Of stones, and even that did not
suffice to cuench the stencil which in
fected the atmosphere.
The Utopia left Skaguay August 23d.
The steamer Detroit sailed for Dyea
and Skaguay this afternoon with forty
passengers.
HOW LAW IS ADMINISTERED.
VICTORIA CB. O., Aug 30.-An evil
dence of how the law is administered
in the Yukon country is given in let
ter received here. A packer named
Rice contracted to take a mans out
fit over the Skaguay trail if the man
went to work on the trail. The man.
went to work but when it was finished
Rice refused to fulfill his contract.
When Rice's train reached the summit
with a load it was seized by the mount
ed police and a vigilance committee
and was unloaded. Rice will not be
allowed to do any packing until he full
fills his contract with the man who
worked on the trail
A letter received from Skaguay stats
that an Indian who came out from the
Yukon had reported that a boiler ex-
plosion had occurred on one of the
steamers going up the Yukon with a
cargo Of provisions. Mr.. Peterson.
who came out from Dawson, says hs
also heard the report, but does not
credit it, as nothing of the kind mad
occurred up to July 2Sth when Shelp
and his party, the very last ones TO
leave, left Dawson City.
