MAN VS.. DOLLAR.

John Clark Ridpath, the great his
toriin, outlines the Democratic plat
form of 1900: "The present political
order Ii based on the dollar. The
true political order ID based on man.
The man and the dollar at war, and
the one or the other must go to the
wall. 1.-THE man prevails over the
dollar, then the Democracy will con-
tinue to exist as fact and principle
among men: If the dollar prevails
over man, then the empire will pre-
vail over Democracy. The empire
chooses the dollar and Democracy
chooses tho man, It will be the bust

RATHER COLD FOR MCKINLEY

There is not much comfort for Nc
Kinley in the stand that Governor
Pingree Of Michigan has taken in the
fight between Alger and Mcmillan
for the Senatorship. In reply to the
statement OF Alger that Pmgres was
for Mckinley. first, last and all the
time, the Governor has made the fol.
lowing statement:
@1f General Alger said that, it is
his opinion from his point of view.
The question whether l am with the
President, lies with Mckinley and
not with me. II General Alger knows
that President Mckinley is opposed
to territorial expansion and is not an
advocate Of the murder and destruc-
ton now being visited upon the in
nocent Filipinos, he has right to
say that l am for Mckinley. If Gen.
ersl Alger is informed that Mckinley
ID opposed to trusts and to legislation
Which fosters, encourages and creates
Them, and in favor Of legislation to
restrict them, then J am closer to
Mckinley than has been generally
believed, If General Alger is assur-
ed that Mckinley is not il touch and
in sympathy with the disreputable
political methods of Mark Hanna and
his friends, and deprecates such lead.
ership, then am for Mckinley.
4The question Of whether l favor
Mckinley is Of no importance in this
Senatorial matter, but / am for Nc
Kinley in everything that he does
which I consider right and against
everything he does that I consider
wrong"

Large parts of Paraguay are natural
pastures, with here and there clumps
of woods or forests scattered through
them. 1t is only the hills that are
covered with trees. The most Of the
other lands have a rich growth of
grass. Nearly all of the land along
the railroads Is taken up. 1t is held
in large tracts, many of the farms be-
ing fenced with barbed wires.
The average country house has no
floors except the earth. Nine-tenths
of the houses you see outside the city
are hunts Of poles, which are woven to-
gether and tied with withes Or strings.
They have roofs of thatch, which ex-
tend out at one side or end, forming
an open shed or room. Often the shed
is larger than the closed part, for the
latter is little more than a sleeping
place for the family. Many such
houses have orange trees about them
and palm trees waving over them. AS

goes into a fresh stable, and especially
If horse which has been out at grass
goes into stable with other horses,
it will be most likely to develop cold,
says the Spectator. So, too, it is no.
ticed, will horses bought at fair, and
this is popularity attributed to the
draughts to which they have been ex-
posed. AS it is admitted, however,
that any other horses which may have
been in the stable generally catch this
cold from the newcomer, surely it is
more reasonable to suppose that the
latter has in like manner received the
infection from some of it's neighbors
while on sale.
A medical friend of the writer's late
ly made an interesting experiment. He
has two horses, and has been in the
habit of turning one out for the sum-
mer months. When he brought it in
again for the winter it used invariably
to develop a severe cold. Coachmen
will tell you that this is due to the un-
accustomed warmth of the stable,
which makes the animal "nesh." Last
year, however, before bringing in his
horse, the doctor had his stable thor
oughly disinfected and limewashed,
and put no other horse into it. The
one which came in from grass then re-
mained percetly free from any symp-
toms of catarrh.

A TAME WILDCAT.
Queer Pet That Gambols About . Ton
neSsee Home.

Gallatin (Tenn) correspondence
Nashville Banner: The oldest pet
ever heard of probably may be found
at 'Iallatin. 1t is wildcat, owned by
Charles Mitchell, a clerk for John Fry.
The animal was captured in Cumber-
land Mountains and brought to Gala
tin by some deer hunters not long
since. 1t is not fully grown, but is
quite large for its age being about 4
feet long, II inches high, and weigh
ing 40 pounds. 1t is the color OF a
tiger. Mr. Mitchell has succeeded in
demonstrating this vicious animal, and
values him very highly as pet. The
house cats and dogs stand in perfect
awe Of the newcomer, although 1t
never shows fight unless antagoniZed.
The wildcat gambols about the house
in frolicsome way and is quite fond
OF Mr.. Mitchell. 1t spends a greater
part of the time in the house, lying
before the fire, but readily obeys when
ordered out of the room. Although
the cat has a house ''built to order,' it
has been permitted to remain in Mr.
Mitchell's bedroom during this cold
spell, remaining in q corner OF the
room all night and never making any
disturbance.
The cat is great deal more active
than the domestic cats, and enjoys
jumping from limb to limb of trees,
from the house top to the ground,
etc. 1t has a peculiarly sounding
voice, which can be heard great dis
tance. 1t was apt in learning several
tricks which it's owner taught it. An
other strange thing about this cat is
that it has no inclination to rove
around-one of the peculiarities of the
wildcat-and is never seen out of the
yard, only when following Mr.. Mitch
ell, which is often the case.
This is the only instance known
where a wildcat has been tanned, and
Mr.. Mitchell is very proud Of his
achievement.

WOm en OF Thibet.

In no other country, perhaps, is a
woman's lot so hard as in Thibet, "the
forbidden land" where civilization has
never penetrated. Women are forced
to do all the menial labor, are treated
worse than beasts, and have absolutely
no amusements. They are constantly
kept shut up in their dark cave-like
homes, seldom being allowed to appear
in public or to visit friends. At II a
girl is married to some man who IS
willing to pay her parents a small
quantity Of food or clothing by way
of dowry. The marriage ceremony is
simple. The girls father ties rope
about his daughters neck and drags
her to her future husbands abode. The
man pays what is considered a fair
sum, in food or clothing. and she IL
henceforth his wife.

brandy distillery. Indeed, it is estl-
mated that every man, woman ana

Ions of cana each year and not ex-

VIPER'S BITE
Overcome by the Use OF Mushroom

Overcome by the Use OF Mushroom
Juice in Vaccination.
New York Tribune: 1t does not yet
appear that steak and mushrooms,
taken in the ordinary way, will cure
that well-known disorder which makes
a man see snakes, but it is reported
from France that incubation with a
preparation with mushroom juice will
overcome the effects of viper's bite.
M. ThesaliX describes a number Of eX-
periments which he has conducted
with this f1uid obtained by macerat-
ing this fungi, in an equal weight OF
chloroform water. After "a hours the
solution is drawn off and filtered. At
first it is of brownish hue, but it
soon turns to an inky blackness. Sub
cutaneous injections of the extract
produce in rabbits the same symp-
toms as the venom of . viper. The &C
count at hand does not, however, spec
ify that the new serum has been ef-
fectively employed to restore an ami
NAL that has first been bitten by a
snake, or had been inoculated artificial
ly with viper venom. AS the case
stands, therefore, the alleged discOv-
cry needs to be developed further be-
fore it's practical value can be looked
upon as fully demonstrated.
