does not. If there is loyalty and pa triotism enough throughout the coun- try to win this struggle the taxes will have to be paid by Spain.
 But the idea of taking this time and this method of poisoning the minds of workingmen, not only against capital ists and business men, but against the very government itself, and trying to extinguish spirit of patriotism in order to promote hairbrained hobby like single tax, is discreditable to or dinary citizens to say nothing Of one Of the highest functionaries in the richest church in the country. Noth- ing could be better calculated to in spire distrust, social hatred and ulti- mate disruption than to discourage the growth of national spirit and patri- otic impulse among the workingmen of the nation, and especially on the plea that they alone are to be made the catspaw of the situation. Such a statement is economically untrue, and such an appeal is socially and politi- cally discreditable to every signer.- From Gunton's Magazine for May.

WHY ELEPHANTS FEAR MICE.

It seems incredible that so small and harmless an animal as mouse is able to frighten an elephant almost out of his senses. One little mouse in the hay on which they are feeding vii stampede an entire herd. In their native land there are little animals known as chacanas, which feed on a small, sour berry of which the ele- phants are very fond. They live in settlements, something after the man. ner of prairie dogs, under the berry bushes. When feeding, the elephants trample the little towns, and ths chacanas, in their fright, run up the tubes of the elephants trunks Their long, sharp claws catch in the flesh and they cannot be elected. The more violently the monster blows through it's coiled trunk the more firmly tie hooked claws of the little animal be- come imbedded in the flesh. Inf1am- nation and death are the result In captivity the elephants think they are in danger of the deadly chacanas when they see mouse.

THIS IS VERY NEAR TREASON.

It is greatly to be regretted that Bishop Potter should lend his name and influence to the appeal to work ingmen circulated by Bolton Hall and the single taxers, for the cake of stir ring up anti-patriotic sentiment against the Cuban policy of the govern ment. The following is specimen of the tone and character of the petition:
 Could any one be more foolish than to drop the great fight [agitation for single taxi and take up the smaller one. If there is war. you will fur nish the corpses and the taxes, and others will get the glory. Specula- tors will make money out of it-that is, finally out of you. Men will get high prices for inferior supplies, leaky boats, for shoddy clothes and paper shoes, and you will have to pay the bill, and the only satisfaction you will get is the privilege of hating your Cuban-Spanish fellow workingmen, who are really your brothers, and who have had as little to do with the wrongs in Cuba as you have"
 The indifference to naaiOnal spirit, the unpairiotism and class animosity amounting almost to treason, breathed through every syllable of this para graph, is not merely discreditable but it is untrue and uneconomic as we'll as unpatriotic. For Bishop Potter to sign an appeal to workingmen con taining such utterances as these is something more than discouraging. To appeal to workingmen to oppose the government in it's contest with for eign enemy, when it's attitude is who'll ly and unqualifiedly in favor of the freedom of an oppressed people strug- gling for freedom, on the poisonous plea that the workingmen alone will furnish the corpses and pay the taxes while others will get the glory and speculators will make money, is a spirit of most sordid selfishness and reflects the lowest type of market place greed and cowardly selfishness
 In the first place it is not true, and Bishop Potter ought to know that it is not true, that the workingmen will either furnish the corpses Or pay the taxes. On the contrary, the business men, clerks, and well-to-do classes are furnishing very large portion of the volunteers, who run the risk of be- ing corpses, and the property of the country, owned by the wealthy classes, will have to pay the taxes if Spain

PLATINUM IN RUSSIA
The Rare Metal Found Chiefly in tn
Ural fountains

The steady and rapid increase in the
demand for platinum has resulted in a
sharp advance in price, and consequent
ly in a somewhat corresponding in
crease in production, although the
metal is so rare that the production by
no means keeps even ace with the
growing demand. At present the
price of crude platinum at the mines
in Russia is 300 marks-about Ei5 or
nearly S225-a kilogram, a kilogram
being two and two-tenths pounds, says
the Philadelphia Press.
The Russian ministry Of finances has
recently issued a report on the produc-
ton of platinum in Russia. 1t has long
been known hat Russia led all other
countries in the production of this
metal, although it was first discovered
in America, and the report shows that
Russia at present furnishes 40 times
that produced in all other countries
taken together. 1t is not a vast amount
either. In the year 1880 the quantity
produced in Russia amounted to 2,946
kilograms; in 1895 il reached 4.413 kilo-
grams. This rare metal is found in
Russia only in the southern Ural. where
in mining for the metal the still rarer
metal iridium is found, but only in
small quantities. Last year the quan-
tity of iridium obtained did not
mount to more than four and one
tenth Kilograms, or about nine pounds.
Platinum is a refractory metal. and the
methods of working it are not known
in Russia. so that the ore is exported to
Germany and to England, end Russia
reimports so much of the worked-up
platinum as it requires.

While In the neighborhood Of Rugby,
Indiana, recently, q reporter was told that
Miss Clara Hopkins, daughter of Mr.. Dennis
Hopkins, Q prominent farmer of Bartho-
lomsw County, had been the subject of q
remarkable transformation. TIT reporter
decided to investigate and learn the par
t~iculars. He was driven to Mr.. Hopkins
splendid country home, where he had an
interesting conversation with that gentleman
regarding the illness ofh only daughter.
"You have been correctly informed, " said
Mr.. Hopkins, for Clara has indeed had q
severe siege. She tried DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and they did her more
good than all other medicines together that she
ever took. A few boxes of that medicine
accomplished the cure Of o case in q few
months which had bafled physicians for
years.
"About three years ago her health began
to fail. The doctor who attended her said this
was caused by weak digestion. This produced
nervousness, which was accompanied by neu-
ralgic troubles, which at first was loceted in
the nerves about the heart. OF course this
was dangerous location for any such trouble,
and she rapidly grew worse, notwithstanding
that the physician was treating her. This
continued till . year ago last November, at
which time she was almost constantly confined
to her bed.
"The neuralgia became gradually worse,
and finally she was a confirmed victim to it.

LACK ORIGINALITY
A rrehchman Claims That All Amer
lean Women Dress Alike.

-
lean Women Dress Alike.
A F~renchman of sharp perception
who was recently in this country said
in speaking of American women thar
they were the most beautiful women he
had ever seen in any country, far, far
more handsome as a type than his own
countrywomen, says L'Art de 10 Mode.
But for their toilets, "bah," he said,
CONTEMPORARY. ANY considerable
number of American women together
look as if they had come out of an
orphan asylum for adults, where the
inmates were all dressed alike with a
few variations thrown in, thanks to
the gifts of sympathizing outsiders
who presented some elegant garments,
none of which, however, reached the
women to whom they were suited"
Allowing for the exaggeration of this
remark, there is yet so much of we'll
founded excuse for it it behooves
American dressmakers to sift out the
grains of truth from the chaff of BIZ
ased opinions and profit by these grains.
Dressmakers are not to blame for the
orphan asylum appearance produced by
the wholesale use of ready-made dresses.
but they are responsible for their short
sighted adherence to the fictitious
value of shapes and their lack of coin
prehension of the value of variety in
dress goods, the obligation upon all the
artistic dressmakers to suit styles of
making to the goods in hand, and of
understanding the values of colors and
their possible and desirable combina-
tions for a given wearer and occasion.
Dressmakers in this country have
made wonderful strides, but a good
many of them have not fully got their
bearings yet. When they do get them
they will be second to no dressmakers
in the world.
