contract with a man named Gilbert
Anderson to furnish supplies to tho
army. When the United States buys
anything from a contracttr IN in

that the goods are what the contract
calls for and that the government
gets full value. In this case the Gov
eminent appointed a man named
-amuel Wilson, who vas always
called 4Ucle Sam" by those who knew
him. He inspected every package
and cask that came from Elbert An

I5,OOO,OOO Marks.
BY the recent death of Count Ernest
VonrD ornberg the town of ~Regensburg,
in Bavaria, comes into an unexpected
legacy Of Is, 600, 900 marks. The author
Of this benefaction was the last OF one
branch of the Dornberg family, which
holds great estates in Austria, Prussia
and Baden. In his younger days he cut
q brilliant figure at the court of Vienna,
and as captain of hussars distinguished
himself highly on the field of Magenta.
He then took up horticulture with eN-
travagant ardor, his park and gardens
in the environs of Regensburg eclipsing
the gardens of Schonbrunn. Suddenly,
for reasons unknown, he dropped all
interest in his %favorite pursuit and with
drew altogether from human society.
His castle was allowed to go to rack
and ruin, his Conservatives fell to
pieces from neglect and his costly
plants moldered away. Every morn-
ing the solitary gardener retained for
Indispensable work used to see a bent
figure with haggard features issue from
a side door and wander over the forlorn
domain. Some months ago his foAner
self revived for a moment. He bought
a quantity of young trees for plant
ing, and as he walked up and down the
rows of saplings he broke silence for
once to his solitary attendant, exclaim-
ing: Sod be with you'll" He then re-
turned to the house, where he was found
a few hours later dead from heart dis
ease.

WONDERFUL LAMP SNAKE.

Emits a Dazzling Light That Can BE
Seen Two Miles.
The natives of Natal, South Africa,
have an implicit faith in the existence
Of the lamp snake, which they call
"umningi." This reptile is supposed to
frequent swamps or lakes and is of a
size so vast hat on an occasion when
enc of the species was attacked and
killed by a Boer hunting party it's
carcass filed a couple of wagons. In
fact, the umningi's proportions are al
most unlimited. The light emitted by
this monster is bright and dazzling in
the extreme, and can be easily dis
cerned from a distance of a couple
of miles or more. Naturally this radi-
ance is visible by night only. Many ma
tlves call the lamp snake ivimbela, but
usually this name is applied to a SER
pent whose dwelling is in the sea, and
whose powers, though great and mar
velous, T not displayed in rivers or
fraught with magic light. \ native
says he has often seen the lamp snake in
the pools of the ,Umvoti river, where it
passes through thorn couf&ry. He says
it is not uncommon and in color is very
pale, almost white, with brown patches
about it; it is rather a large snake.
On a dark night it makes" a light in
the pool, which shines so brightly that
when one first sees it ones eyes blink.

Why Two Ears Are Necessary.

Sound travels by waves radiating
from a central point Of disturbance,
Just as waves radiate when a stone is
dropped into still water.
So for as the hearing Of each indi-
vidual is concerned, these waves move
in a direct line from the cause of the
sound to the ear, the impact being
the greatest in the ear nearest to the
source.
This being the case, a person who
has totally lost the sense of hearing
in one ear, although he may imagine
that the defect is Of little consequence
cannot locate the direction of n sound
to save his life, even when the center
Of disturbance is quite near him.

The aggregate ~stealings of men who
Violate public and private trusts, by
defalcation and embezzlement, are
probably much greater every year than
those of the burglars and highway

The record of such stealings during
1895, as compiled by the insurance COM
panies which guarantee employers
against the dishonesty of their en-
ployes, and the public against the dis
honesty of officials, shows hat the sum
of $0,465, 021 was obtained: The cases

WHAT MAKES HARD TIMES.

Why hard times in this country is a
question we'll worth considering. Why
such suffering rs we have had for
years when fine land has been blessed
with abundant harvest and with a
population disposed to active indus
try with organized industries of the
very best and natural resources n
equaled.
4 recent government report shows
how the farmers have suffered from
low prices. and this gives US some
light Mt least. We give some figures
that speak for themselves:
In 1896 we produced 1888, 100000
bushels Of corn; the farm price for it
was 2l.5 cents a buahel. and tho total
value S491 900. 600. In 1881, for a
corn production of 1000. 000. 1000 BUSH
els. the farm price was 40.6 cents a
bushel. and the total value was $780,
100000 or $345.O DOC, 900 more than the
farmers received in 1896 for a vastly
larger crop. A loss like this must af-
feet the whole country
In the latter part of 1896 a slight
improvement took place in price of
wheat, owing to scarcity abroad, yet
the farmers got for the crop of that
year $500, 600, 900 less than for the
crop of 1891. The average Of wheat
was 1875 cents a bushel. against "a
in 1884, but we had the advantage Of
a failure Of the Europe and Indian
crops, which forced up the price Of
wheat; otherwise we would scarcely
have got more than the 50-cent YER
age. With crops of wheat half as
large again as ten years ago we are
getting some S7O,000,O00 a year less
for it.
Oats make worse showing. For a
vastly larger crop in 1896 the farmer
receives s7O.OOo.OO0 less than for the
average crop Of the six years from
1890 to 1895, and $4,000 less than for
the average from 1880 to 1889.
In these three great farm products
the farmers received e570, O00, 900 less
in 1896 than the average Of preceding
years. This decline in prices has
been going on for some 20 years, and
il cotton and other crops were TAX.
en- into the account the loss would be
increased by hundreds Of millions
more.
All this explains the shrinkage in
everything else; in the prices Of mill
and factory products and the wages
Of the mechanic, the laborer and min
or. Farmers and those dependent on
the marketing Of their products con-
stitute fully one-half the population
of the union.
The republican party proposes to
remedy all this by increasing taxation
thereby making dearer those articles
the farmer has to buy. In addition to
this, their protective policy ID calcu-
lated to seriously cripple trade
with foreign nations where our bread
stufs and provisions find a market.
Let us not forget that the country
during all these years has been under
republican policy. The ruin is theirs.
