MOoT of the antitrust laws now
upon the federal and statute books
were put there by Republican law
makers. When the Democratic plat
form and Democratic campaign
speakers begin to denounce the trusts
and to demand that they be hunted
down and destroyed, the Republicans
will simply point to existing laws as
evidence that they began that hunt
some years ago. If in reiOinder the
Democratic oracles recite long lists of
trusts to show that the laws are I'M
availing they will shift the attack
from the Republican party to the
courts and the prosecuting officers.
The laws are in force and capable of
enforcement. If they are not enforced
that fact is pretty good evidence that
the public sentiment.doe not demand
their enforcement, which would go to
show that the offences they are aimed
at are either not frequently commit
ted or are not harmful We accord
ingly predict that Mr.. Bryan and his
campaigners will bedew their brows

in their efforts to arouse the people
against the party in power by assail-
ing the trusts.-New York Times

NATuRI OF THE ALLIGATOR.
The Reptile Described In Detail by
One Who Knows Its Habits
and Peculiarities.

An aligNyor Is not an attractive crea-
ture. He has not single virtue that
can be named. He is cowardly, treach-
erous, hidaous. He Is neither graceful
nor even respectable in appearance. He

his ungaipliness, for as brute-a brute
unqualifisd-he is always so intensely
real tina enc shrinks from him with
loathins, and a laugh at his expense
while In his presence would seem curi-
ously out OF place, says Appleton's
Monthly.
His personality, too, is strong. Once
catch the steadfast gaze Of free, adult
alligator's wicked eyes with their odd
vertical pupils fxed full upon your
own, and the significance of the ex-
preston 'eyn es:ssa" and the mysteries
Of snake charming, hypnotism and hoo
dooism will be readily understood, for
his bruttsh, merciless, untlinching stare
is simply blood-chilling.
Zoologically, the alligator belongs TO
the genus crocodilus, and he has all the
hideousnees Of thut family, lacking
somewhatitsb bloodthirstiness, although
the American alligator is carnivorous
by nature, and occasionally cannibal-
istic. Strictly speaking, however, the
true alligator is much less dangerous
than his relatives Of the old world, and
he is correspondingly less courageous.

ton Of This Most Striking
Phenomenon.

It Is peculiar that 'sH:striking phe-
no1nenon as the phosphoorescence Of the
sea should remain almost unnoted by
the ancient writer's. There are several
reasons for this. The ancients seldom
ventured fur away from the coast;
they hugged the shore by day and
pulled up ut night on some convenient
beach, hence they did not often 500
phosphorescence at all. Their ships
were merely boats, not built or rigged
for sailing close to the wind, which is
the most favorable position for observ-
Ing this phenomenon. All such occur
reuces were regarded by the ancients
as being Of evil omen-the superstition
With regard to st. Elmo's fire is sur
vival Of this belief-and hence the ap-
pearances when seen were not much
talked Of. Then, too, the ancients, sav-
ing. perhaps, only the Phoenicians,
hated the sea and all its works, and
seem to have been curiously insensible
to the beauties Of nature. It is still
probably fact that the minute organ
isms which produce phosphorescence
are infinitely more plentiful in those
seas which were known to the ancients
than they were then, in consequence
Of the determination Of whales and
other marine animals which preyed
upon them.

SECONDHAND SHOES.
Extensive Rep.,ru May Ne Made ana
Yet They May BE Had for
Very Little Money.

A sign hanging in front Of shoe
makers shop where second hand shoes
were sold had upon 1t these words:
Second Hand Shoes with New Uppers."
1t seemed almost that pair Of sec
ond-hand shoes with new uppers would
be practically new shoes, but inquiry
showed that this impression was not
warranted by the facts. There is q
good deal Of fresh material In pair
OF shoes thus repaired. but there is also
left 9 good deal of the old, says the
New York Sun.
Tho new upper thus put In is q new
vamp, the front part Of the upper; the
old counter. or back part Of the shoe,
still neanains> 1t is familiar fact
that whAe the counter may breaas
down or wear out or get hole In 1t
somehow. 1T is much more likely to
stay sound and good; tits the front that
cracks and breaks. And SO in put
ting secondhand shoes in order new
vamps are sometimes put In. But while
such shoe, which has also been sded
and heeled, might easily be described
as having undergone extensive repairs,
It would be far from wholly new. There
would remain, besides the old counter,
the shank and the inner sole, and the
general shape and framework of the
shoe. and upon these the repairs could
be made. Secondhand shoes bring va
rious prices. depending on thef orig
tnal quality and their condition; pair
OF second-hand shoes, resoled ahd re-
heeled and with new uppers, can be
bought for az little as dollar.

snow and slcet prevented them from
getting their usual food. They at-

OF the fat animals and pecking holes in
the bodies OF the helpless porkers. The
owner of the hogs bought lot of am

could secure to shoot the crows.

CHARACTER IN TIE TONGUE
A Psrasian Mademoiseue Has Intro
dhuced This Nove1 Art. and
Calls II Glossomanoie.

Glossomancie is new "science," In
troduced by Miss Erbere No, of Paris,
consisting Of reading the character by
the form and size of the tongue.
The guiding principles are as follows:
II the tongue is long it is an indication
of frankness; II 1t is short, of dissimu-
lation; II 1t is broad. of e1pansiveness;
II narrow. of concentration.
When the tongue ia both long and
large 1t implies that the possessor is q
great gossip. frank to disagreeableness,
and thoughtless. II the tongue be long
and narrow it's owner is only half
frank, thinking as much as is uttered,
but not always uttering all that is
thought.
II the tongue be short and broad
there is promise Of plenty of gossip
and falsehoods; 1t talks q great DEAL
but says little Of what is really
thought.
If short and narrow 1t indicates deep
cunningand lying; impenetrability and
prudence. This tongue belongs to those
persons always ready to make mis-
takes, but eager to inspire confidence.
So. then, not the physician alone is to
be guided by the tongue, but before
you become intimate with anyone. ask
him or her to put out his or her tongue,
that you may be certain whether they
are to be trusted or not.
