Well Done.

Recently a boat's crew from n wreck
ed steamship We're driven about at the
mercy of the sea. A gale was blowing,
it was bitterly cold, and the suffering
of the poor men was beyond descrip-
ton.
Their hands and feet were frost-bit-
ten, and finally, crazed with cold and
pain, some of the men wished 20 COM
NIT suicide. Then Sailor Green, al
though suffering as much as the rest,
encouraged them. All through the ter
rible night he told funny stories, sang
cheerful songs, and kept up the spirits
of his companions by every possible
means. In the morning he and his
companions were rescued.
This man, daunted-although wet,
hungry, y,~benumbed and exhausted
-aad thinking in his extremity not of
himself, but of his comrades, teaches
n lesson that is worth remembering

Care of Curra,t Buahes,


A sharp lookout should be kept for
the currant worm, which where the
bushes are grown in clumps generally
appears first on the inside stalks, and
often natures and goes into the ground
for second brood before any damage
is discovered. This explains the nom
success of some in using white helle-
bore on the bushes. 1t Is very difficult
to spray or dust the whole plant with
the Eellebore, and it is the inside
bushes that mainly escape the poison.
For this reason growing currants in
tree form would be the best method
were it. not for the currant stalk
borer, which often destroys hill
where only one stalk is left. By grow
ing two or three stems and cutting out
all others, both these enemies can be
male harmless

JeffcrsOu's Brand of FxDausiOu-


The sort of expansion that Jefferson
believed in and accomplished is en-
dorsed by every patriotic American,
but ii is very different sort from the
Hanna Nc Kinley-W Wall street brand of
expansion, or Imperialism. Thomas
Jefferson, true to the spirit of the Dec
laration of Independence and the con-
stitution, did not desire to expand
American territory beyond the confines
of the American continent. Jefferson
did not advocate nor desire that this
country should go beyond its own
hemisphere or enter upon wars of con-
quest in foreign lands and in Asiatic
waters. He would have been false to
his well-known principles, which are
to-day the principles of the Democratic
party, if he had.-Wheeling Register.

AFRICANS TRUE PREDICTION.

Hundreds of Miles Away.

Wizard Tells of Events Happenin Z
Hundreds of Miles Away.
Here is n yarn that has been picked
up by the Society for Psychical Re
search. DR.. K. W. Felkin, who had ac-
companied Emin Pasha on a tour
through Uganda and adjacent terri
tory is responsible for 1t. He says that
some time last year his party had got
back TO Lado, about 1000 miles south
OF Khartoum, and that he had been
without letters from Europe for year.
Naturally he was impatient for tidingS.
In that part of Africa he had often
come across wizards who pretended
to transform themselves into lions or
other animals at night and to travel
immense distances in this guise. They
also assert that they acquire informa-
ton at such times about stolen cattle
and other lost property. DR.. Felkin
says that, although he has no explana-
tion to offer in regard to these alleged
feats, he had chance to verify one of
their stories.
One morning after his arrival at Lado
q man came to his tent, evidently in
great excitement, and said that the To-
cal wizard, or "m'logo," had been roam
ing about the country the night before
in the form of a jackal. During his
rambles the ''m'logo' had visited
Meschera- -el REX, fully 500 miles away,
between Lado and Khartoum. The
wizard declared that two steamers had
just arrived at this point and had
brought mails. He also described
minutely the appearance of an Eng
lish officer accompanying the boats.
DR.. Felkin ridiculed the story. But
Emin Pasha took the thing more seri-
ously. He directed that the wizard be
brought before him, and questioned
the fellow.
where did you go last night"
Il was at Meschera- -el-Rek."
what were you doing there?"
Il went to see some friends"
what did you seeY'
IL saw two steamers arriving from
Khartoum.'
'Oh. this is nonsense! You could not
possibly have been at Meschera-el-
REX"
Il was there" the wizard replied en-
phatically. And with the steamers was
an Engishman, short man with big
beard"
well, what was his mission?"
"He says that the great pasha at
Khartoum had sent him and he has
some papers for you. He is starting
overland tomorrow, bringing the pa
pers with him, and he will be here
about thirty days from now"
DR.. Felkin says that thirtytwo days
later the Englishman did arrive at
Lado, and that he brought letters for
the party. The newcomer was Lupton
Bey. OF the wizard DR.. Felkin says
that he is satisfied that the man was
never outside his native village in his
life.-New York Tribune.

sherlock Holme. 500 Years Ago

Sherlock Holmee 300 Years Ago.
Dr. John Donne, the famous English
divine and poet, who lived in the reign
OF James l., was a veritable Sherlock
Holmes in bent of mind. One of his
exploits is as follows:
He was walking in the churchyard
while grave was being dug, when the
sexton cast up a moldering skull. The
doctor idly took it up, and in handling
it. found headless nail driven into it.
This he managed to take out and con-
ceal in his handkerchief. 1t was evil
dent to him that murder had been done.
He questioned the sexton and learned
that the skull was probably that of a
certain man who was the proprietor
OF brandy shop, and was drunkard,
being founo dead in bed one morning
after night in which he had drank
two quarts of brandy.
Had he wife?" asked the doctor.
"Yes."
'What character does she bear!"
''She bore a very good character, only
the neighbors gossiped because she
married the day after her husbands
funeral. She still lives here"
The doctor soon called on the wom-
an. He asked for and received the
particulars of the death of her first
husband. Suddenly opening his hand
kerchief, he showed her the telltale
nall, asking in loud voice:
sMadam do ynu know this nailE
The woman was SO surprised that
she confessed. and was tried and exc
cuted.

DEFICIENT REVENUE.

With any sort of economy the rev
enue of the past year should have been
sufficient to meet the expenditures.
Not that the protective tariff has
proved Il success, but the war tax and
the Union Pacific Railroad sale have
provided vast sums which have been
squandered.
In shooting that the deficit this year
is out of all proportion to the necessi-
ties of the case. the Boston Post says:
What does this mean? 1t means
that the 5000, 100000 popular loan and
the 500, 100000 from special war taxes
have not been enough TO meet the cost
of the war and the eXtravasances of
the Republican Congress. And as for
the future, it means that, unless the
party in power makes a reform in its
policy, we shall have to keep on pay
ing war taxes in order TO meet current
expenses and borrow more money of
the people to pay for foreign con-
quests
1t is needless for the Post to suggest
the possibility that the party in power
will make reform in its policy" With
such men as Alger, Platt, Hanna and
the like in control of the Republican
party no sort of reform need be hoped
for.
But the object lesson given the peo-
pie by the Mckinley syndicate
will work Il reform not i'll the Repub-
lican party, but among the honest
voters of the land, who will recognize
the seriousness of the situation and
hurl from power the men who are
piling up national debt and increasing
national taxation.
Republican organs are busy making
excuses and devising plans with which
to fool the people. But this work will
prove futile, for the deficit cannot be
ignored and the extravaganza which
produced it can neither be excused nor
explained away.-EXchange

Swift War Brings Speedy Peace.
1t is not condoning the injustice and
iniquity of the Philippine campaign of
conquest to say that more troops and

campaign is to continue-and il is idle
to look for suspension of hostilities-
it should at least be pushed to a speedy
conclusion. Under existing conditions
we are not only inficting wrong and
injustice upon the FilipinOs, but we
are sacrificing American soldiers to no

end, and there is but one way to end it.
Force the fighting. Send enough troops
