formed that the Occur d'Alene
mining country never enjoyed
greater or more substantial pros
perity than at present, and the
cause of this prosperity is attrib-
uted principally to the higher
price of lead, which is directly
due to the new tariff law. "The
proof of the pudding is the eating
thereof" and in future the free
trader is sure to meet with a cool
reception in the Occur d'Alenes.
This gentleman also told us that
while prosperity was everywhere
in evidence, it was quite notice.

freely spent as in former years.

they are employed closes down.

written by the wife of a Cabine.
member to her sister at home,
are detailed her actpal expert
ences in Washington, frankly
and freely given. The letters
were written without any inten-
ton of publication. They give
intimate peeps behind the ca-tan
of high official aud social life.
They are absolutely fearless, they
study Washington lie under the
searchlight as it has never been
before presented. The President
and the highest officials of the
land, with the most brilliant men
and women of the Capital, are
seen in the most familiar way.
AS these are all actual expert
ences the name of the writer is
withheld. The letters win doubt
less excite much shrewd guessing
by readers and study of internal
evidence to discover the secret.
The Experiences" which will
be beautifully illustrated, begin in
the December number and will
continue for several months.

decency requires that the walks

a progressive city whose example
might well be followed by other
places. Such an ordinance works
no hardship, for if a person must
expectorate, few steps brings

THE NATIoNAL DEMooRAoY

It would be a great scoop to
overhcar and publish some Of the
speeches which Grover Cleve-
land is making to his new baby
nowadays. He is probably
speaking something after this
style: "My son, should you
grow up TO be as great man as
your father, you will find, TO your
sorrow, fiat there is nothing
which the world SO much envies
as real greatness. l do not mean
the spurious kind like Bayard's
or Cargisle's, but like mine and
Dan Lamont's. You will find
that if you consent-for $4,000
per annum, free rent, railroad
passes and free fishing-to serve
this country for eight years, and
preach reform to the people on
every convenient occasion, there
will still be men who will not ac-
cept your councils, and who will
denominate some of your most
studied sentences as mere stilted
demagogy. You may even lead
a portion of your old party slaves
off INTO a new party of your own,
only to find the whole business
repudiated. l don't mind admit
ting to you that just now my adj
vice to the American people
seems to be derided, and that my
immediate party following seems
to be in the middle of about the
tightest political place that ever

it now, would have been forced |

A Rat saved His Life.

A young son of Mr.. Daniel Bonie,
of Bulloch County, Georgia, had q
thrilling experience with large rat
tlesnake few days ago. He had gone
into his fathers barn at night for some
fodder. He was accompanied by one
of the farm hands. Young Bonie re-
ceived a blow in the face, and, sup
posing his friend had tried to frighten
him, asked that his friend desist, as
he, Bonie, had already been hurt by
blow in the face. About that time he
felt another blow on the fodder he
held in his hand, and OF the same time
heard the singing of the snakes rat
ties. He left the house, procured
light and returned to find a monster
rattlesnake, which was at once dis
patched. The snake had eighteen rat
Ties and button. Had it not been
for a large rat, which was about hall
swallowed, young Bonie no doubt
would have been bitten and killed.

Games Of Ancient Origin.

Most people are well aware that the
popular Canadian game Of lacrosse or;
iginated, goodness knows how, many
centuries ago among the North Ameri-
can Indians. When you come to look
into it, it is quite astonishing how
many games were originally invented
and are to-day practiced by peoples
we are accustomed to think Of as saw:
ages. Wallace tells us how in Borneo,3
one wet day, he thought to amuse his
Dysk boys by showing them cats
cradle. But he found that they not
only knew it, but knew more intricate
figures than he. The Maoris of New.
Zealand actually have q sort Of pic
torial history in cat's-ciadle figures Of
twisted fiber. The Sandwich Islanders
play kind Of draughts; the South
Sea peoples nearly all are adopts at
kite-Aying. Polo comes from Persia,
and is played magnifcently by wild
hill tribes from northern India. Back
CANNON and parchesi are both eastern
games, fat tamarind seeds being used
as slots" in the latter. .-Harper's

The Worlds Telegraphic System.


Barely more than forty years have
elapsed since America gave to the
world the unique invention of the tels-
graph, and yet to-day, according to
the latest figures which can be OBJ
tanned, the worlds telegraphic system
embraces in its wide and complicated
area not less than 4,9Os. 1923 miles Of
wire. .
This enormous aggregate is dis
tributed among the great divisions Of
the earth as follows: Europe, 1,764,-
100 miles; Asia, 80, 1856 miles; Africa,
SO, 419 miles; Australia, 217, ,479 miles,
and America, 2,516, 6,54s miles. From
these figures it appears that more than
fifty per cent. of the worlds mileage
of telegraph wire is on this side of the
Atlantic, but in view of the fact that
the invention itself is Of American or
igin, this is just as it should be. But
the fact that America outstrips the
balance of the world in the extent of
it's telegraph mileage is not 80 much
. tribute to its own invention as 1t is
to the extraordinary rate Of progress
which has taken place in the Western
Hemisphere during the past fifty years.
Taking the figures as they apply to
the entire world, what higher tribute
could be offered to the genius of Pro-
fessor Samuel F. B. Morse, the re-
nowned inventor of the telegraph

Electricity For BaIkiness.

Electricity has not only displaced
horses to some extent, but, if reports
ere true, itmay make some that remain
more useful to their owners. Accord
ing to the Inter Ocean, certain Penn
sylvanian owns very valuable horse
which was balky. He had offered
$500 to any one who would cure him,
but in vain. He then connected a
tbree-volt storage battery with each
side of bit and crupper. When the
horse braced his feet and refused to
move, the button was pressed; the
horse jumped, snorted and moved off.
Each day for week he was given the
same lesson, and is now his owners
pride. Similar cases have been re-
ported in which Small amount of
electricity was considered less cruel
than whipping. Just so; and yet the
most inhuman torture can result from
the ignorant or ill-advised use of cleo
tricity for this and similar purposes

where II Never Thunders.

In Finland, East Turkestan, Ice
land, Nova Zembls, the north part OF
Siberia, as we'll as all places in the ex-
treme north, clap of thunder is an
unknown occurrence; while Peru has
only one, or at most two, thunder
storms in a century, its thunderstorm
of 1877 having been the only one since
1903. Some parts. Of France, on the
other hand, appear to be the most
thundery places on the earth's surface,
as, according to the president OF the
French Meteorological Society, in Six
or seven months of 1892 as many as
1928 were counted. The director OF
the observatory at Odessa. who has
closely studied the question, states
that there is zone of electric activity
of great intensity on both sides OF the
equator, which is also the zone OF the
greatest rainfall. This zone he
divides into three sections, the first
embracing Asia and Ocesnia, Indo.
China and the Sunda Isles to New
Guinea. The yearly thunderstorms
over that zone average from 80 to 100.
The second zone starts from the west
coast of Africa between degrees and
10 degrees north latitude, and 10 de-
grees to Is degrees south latitude;
while the third zone comprises the
tropical regions of America, where the
mean annual number of thunderstorms
exceeds 100. To the north OF this
zone. which is termed the electric
equator, the storms decrease in numb
er until the deserts of Africa, Egypt,
Persia and Central Asia are reached,
where the rainfall is scanty and thun'
derstorms rare.-Tit-Bits.

Poultry Notes.

More than one-half OF early matur.
ity is in high feeding.
Securing eggs in winter is largely
the result Of good management.
Everything in point Of plumage and
symmetry depends on the sire.
If fowls are to be confined they
should be kept in Aocks of not over
twenty-five.
Scattering the food well is a good
plan of inducing the fowls to take ex.
ercise.
The time to establish private trade
for eggs is in the fall of the year, when
eggs are scarce.
Corn, when fed to q hen by itself,
has tendency to fatten rather than
aid in egg production.
A good layer ought never to be sac
rificed so long as she can be used for
breeding purposes.
To avoid roup among the fowls, have
the nests high and dry and avoid di-
rect draughts.
Bisuphide of carbon is vapor bath
for fowls and as fumigator Of the
house is death to lice.
Charred corn on cobs is a good way
to feed charcoal to fowls and nothing
better for bowel troubles.
Do not allow strange dogs in your
poultry yard, and do not allow your
own dogs to chase the fowls.
The dust bath is as necessary in cold
weather as in warm. The conditions
to keep the hens free from vermin are
better than remedies after they be-
come infested.
The Matching room should be 80
thoroughly ventilated that upon en-
tering it the odor from the lamps
would be detected. Tobacco smoke
is injurious to Matching eggs.
1t has been estimated that if farm
ers could be induced to discard
scrubs, and use only pure breeds, the
increase in value of poultry products
would be fully 100 per cent.
Ground bone increases egg produc-
ton. The dry ground bone is good,
but green cut bone, which is made
from bones and gristle, fresh from
the butchers for this purpose, is
much better.
To prevent eggs from Matching dip
the tips in boiling water for one
minute, or subject them to the fumes
of burning sulphur, for fifteen min
utes in close box, says the Poultry
Keeper.
