Mr. Reid was born in Scotland and started

Reid heard OF this, and while walking
through a hotel one morning he spied the
distant cousin. He walked straight up to
him and patting him upon the shoulder,
cried out: why. my good fellow, are you

We are those whose unpaid legions,

Position and Sleep.

The position affects sleep. A con-
strained position generally prevents re-
pose, while Il comfortable one wOOes
sleep. Lying flat on the back, with the
limbs relaxed, would seem to secure the
greatest amount of rest for the musCu-
lar system. This is the position assumed
in the most exhausting diseases, and it
is generally hailed as a token of revival
when a patient voluntarily turns on the
side, But there are several disadvan-
tages in the supine posture which i'm
pair or embarrass sleep. Thus in disor-
dered conditions of the stomach the
blood seems to gravitate to the back Of
the head and to produce troublesome
dreams
Nearly all who are inclined to snore
do so when lying on the back, because
the soft palate and uvula hang on the
tongue, and that organ falls back so as
partly to close the top of the wind
pipe. 1t is better, therefore, to lie on
the side, and, in the absence of special
disease rendering it desirable to lie on
the weak side SO as to leave the healthy
lung free to expand, it is well to use the
right side, because when the body is
thus placed the food gravitates more

A life insurance company has made
the startling proposition to pave the
streets of Norwich, N. Y. and take
policies on the lives of 90 or 100 citi-
zens in payment. The scheme is meet
ing with favor among many of the tax
payers and may possibly be adopted.
The plan is suggested by an endowment
company, and it is proposed to bond the
debt with the insurance company at 3
per cent and give as security 10 and 20
year endowment policies on the lives of
the citizens to be designated later This
would cost the village from So, 500 to
s., 600 year, and at the end of the
period the policies would mature and
leave enough to pay for the paving and
a handsome margin besides. In the
meantime, should any of these insured
die, the amount of the insurance will
apply on the village debt

THE BULLFROGS.

II you live out in the suburbs,
You will always know when spring
Has assumed control of weather
BY the way the bullfrogs sing.
There is something wierdly mournful
In the music from the bog,
The low drumming and shrill whistling
OF the versatile young frog.
If the nightingale's wan spirit
Haunts the bullfrog, rs they say,
There's no wonder that the froggie
Pipes sorrow laden lay.
But to any one that 5 humesick,
Or is feeling rather glum,
He will wish the whole swamp chorus
Had at once been stricken dumb
There are frogs that are quite harmless,
Such as railroad frogs and those
Whose hind legs we see before us,
Fried and crispy, minus toes,
But you often hear, or think so,
And it makes your cold blood creep,
When the legs are served, still twitching,
A most lamcntablc "pccp!"
When you're coming from the clubrOom
Or the dance quite late at night,
Those amphibiOus young croakcrs
In jolly take delight
And along the lonely stretches,
Ere you reach the well known gate,
They will make you see gaunt spccters-
Or will try at any rate
There's the cricllet's chirp Of autumn
And the locust's monolude,
There's the "whooing'' Of the owlet
In the forests solitude,
There's the hum of the mosquito
And the whistle of the quail,
But suburbanitcs hear oftencst
The green bullfrogs woful wall.

USE FOR x-RAY IN PRINTING.

New York, January l9.-Dr
Frederick Strange Kolle contribu-
tes to the Electrical Engineer a
description of new process de.
scribed by him which overcomes
the cost and labor of composition,
reduces the time necessary to re-
produce copies, and is of such a
nature that the operator may be
kept in complete ignorance of the
contents of the document. This
might make the process valuable
in the diplomatic and secret SER
vices of the Government. An
Opaque fluid ink is used for writ
ten documents and a semi fluid
mixture for typework. The copy
is clamped down over the sensit-
lied paper 10 blocks of 100 sheets,
called sense blocks, and is ex
posed to the rays. Then the
sheets are developed as needed,
Kolle says that twenty sense.
blocks may be exposed around
each tube sim ultaneously. This
would make it possible to prin,
5000 copies a minute for each
tube used. He says that ten men
working eight hours a day, could
print 100000 copies and de-
velop, fix, wash and dry them.

Two SENATOR'S.

Discussion of the peace treaty
and the expansion policy of the
United States, has brought ont two
interesting features in connection
with the obligations of a United
States Senator. Senator Perkins
of California declared himself as
opposed to expansion, but made
the reservation that he would vote
on the question as directed by the
legislature of his state.
Senator Hale of Maine went be.
fore the state legislature this year
for re- election. He is a strong and
open opponent of the expansion
idea. The legislature of the state
is almost unanimously in favor
Of the Mckinley expansion policy.
This was evidenced particularly
when Hale made his speech before
the Republican caucus. In this
speech he gave his opinions on
expansion, stating that he could
not endorse the policy. His
words were received without de-
monstration until he made refer
ence to Senator Frye, one of the
particular champions of the ex-
tension of American power in the
Pacific, when the caucus cheer
ed for several minutes
But this same caucus tina
cheered for Senator Frye and ex
pansien, unanimously nominated
Senator Hale and elected him
though when the final vote was
taken several Legislators withdrew
and others stated that they voted
for the "nominee of the caucus.

The Hale incident also brings

that steel ball has been put in,
the Japanese have little harder
time with their files.
Captain Barker was not aboard
the ship. One of the officers vol.
unteered the following: This is
the captains pet place. He goes
ashore every day. There is of
course a reason for this. Captain
Barker spent the happiest mo-
ments of hi, life here and associa-
tions, you know, are dear. Why
you couldn't drive him ashore at
any other foreign port. He and
the ship are simply inseperable"
The Oregon has not begun to
coal yet. She is waiting for the
Scindia, due at any moment now.
1t is quite likely that the Iris is
keeping her back as that steamer
lie considered to be the "weak
sister,"
Speaking of the Iris yesterday,
one of the officers remarked that
Chief Engineer Little, well known
in Honolulu, is on that water dis
filling steamer. His friends in
Honolulu will certainly be glad to
see him back.
While very close to Hawaii mel,
the Oregon had one of her largest
boats smashed. 1t is understood
that there is great danger of this
il the boats are not taken toward
the center of the ship.
The reason why the Oregon
did not enter port" said the officer
of the deck, sis that there is not
enough room in there for US. Our
ship draws q feet OF water, and
as there is a continuous stream of
water passing through the ship all
the while for the copdensers, you
can readily see, there might very |
soon be disaster"
"Now that you are in the ward
room, 1 want to show you some
of the pictures the ship prizes
most highly" said the Chief En-
gineer. "Here is one taken from
the Crlstobal Colon at Santiago
when men from the ship went
aboard her after the fight. Here
is another of the Oregon herself,
the day after the fight. This was
taken by w. r. Hearst, and is the
finest photograph the Oregon has
ever had taken. As you see, she
is stripped for action"
"The Oregon WAS not hit once
during the whole engagement at
Santiago. You can't find a mark
on her."
about sixty per cent of the
men who were on the Oregon in
the fight, are still with the ship.
This also applies to the officers, of
whom there are twelve. There
are only four officers aboard who
made the famous trip around the
Horn to Key West"
The Oregon Is nothing more
than a floating fort. One cannot
take step without running into
some cannon or rapid firing gun.
In answer to a question, one of
the officers answered: 1.-THE eight
inch guns are the ones that did
the greatest damage at Santiago.
Our big guns had the required
moral effect on the Spaniards, but
the eight inch ones did the tear
ing up"
1t was learned yesterday that
the Oregon would be here for
week yet and, very probably, more.

Asserted Argentine Convention Won't
Injure Their Interests.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-An official
statement Of facts respecting the Argen-
tine convention was given out for pub
lie information and to correct misappre-
tensions in respect to the effect of tho
treaty on the wool interest. 1t said in
part:
The Argentine government demanded
reciprocal concessions on the few articles
she sends to this market. Among these
was wool, and the American woolgrow-
ers have expressed fears that this would
prove injurious to the domestic interest.
The total import OF wool in United States
for 1890 from all countries was 76, 1856, 900
pounds. OF this from the Argentine came
only 1857 900 pounds, which is a very
small portion of our aggregate importa-
ton. 1t appears that our woolen fac
tories require, Notwithstanding high
duties, certain amount OF foreign wool
to supplement the domestic product:
There is no proposal for any reduction of
Of wool duties in favor of any other coun-
try.
1t is evident that the proposed reduction
for Argentine woods alono can have no
effect on our market prices. The major
ity Of the wool Is of the coarsest class
flor carpets, etc. which is not at all or
but little supplied by this country. II
other countries imposed the same high
duties with ourselves upon raw woods inn
ported for manufacture this reduction of
duty would turn the tide of wool supply
to the United States. Buu other nations
have adopted the policy of free admission
of wool. Consequently, the Argentine
wool seeks tho European free markets,
France, Germany, Belgium, Great Brit
min, Italy, etc., and will continue to do
fn
