selling gunpowder and shot TO the In

which was against the laws. So. when
an Indian war broke out. he let them
massacre the settlers rather than com
mission any one to go to fight them.

and finally brave young man declared
that IL there was any more trouble

When meat is considered, one in
stantly comes to the conclusion that
it is a very fortunate thing that the
United States is far and away the
greatest producer. For we Ameri-
cans consume 11,OOO,OOO,OOO pounds
every year, or lat pounds for every
person-considerably more than the
average individual weight of the pop
ulation. OF this immense meat ra-
ton, quite enough to discourage the
most enthusiastic society Of vegetar.

WILL RUN UP AGAINST TROUBLE

FIX Governor Tay lor, in his farewell
address to the Tennessee legislature,
said:
@Every honest man who runs for
office is candidate for trouble, for
the fruits of victory turn to ashes on
his lips. To me there is nothing in
this world so pathetic as candidate.
He is like mariner without COM
pass, drifting on the tempest tossed
waves of uncertainty between the
smiling cliffs Of hope and the frown-
ing crags Of fear. He is a walking
petition and living prayer; he is the
pack horse of public sentiment; he is
tho dromedary of politics. And if he
reaches the goal Of his ambition he
will soon feel the beak of tho vulture
in his heart and the fang Of the Ser
pent in his SOUL"

MASTER SCULPTURE.
The Author OF 1t Was Unknown for
Many Years Until Accident
ally Traced.

In the cathedral of Nantes, France,
there is a monument to Francis II. of
Bretagne and his wife Margaret, which
is considered one of the masterpieces
of French sculpture, says Harper's Ba-
Ear. 1t is over 300 years old and until
20 years ago no one knew to whom to
ascribe it. Then, by chance, an old
stone slab was discovered in the same
cathedral. bearing the following in
scription:
81, Michel Colomb, was a poor for
saken boy, whose only home was the
highroad, where alone God and our
Bretagne saints watched over me; I
often forgot to eat and drink while
looking at the stonecutters who made
the beautiful stone crosses for the holy
place in the diocese Of Leon; and
myself carved small images with a
wretched knife, when worthy priests
took compassion upon me, fed me and
said to me: Work, thou little one, and
look as much as thou pleasest at the
carved belfry and at the beautiful work
of the guild (the stonecutters and
sculptors); look at all this, love the
good God, the mild Saviour, and the
blessed Virgin Mary; then thy name
shall be honored in the diocese of Leon
and in the beautiful Bretagne.' This
I did for long while, that might be-
come good workman, and then our
Duchess Anne gave me an order to cut
monument to our gracious Duke
Francis II. and the Duchess Margaret"

SEEDS THAT NEED FIRE.
Curious and Interesting Facts About
Certain Trees I'm California
and AAustrHNa.

A California pine tree whose seed
cones can only be opened by fire or
great heat has been attracting consid-
cradle attention at Kew Ga 7dens. Lon
don. II Stems, however, that this tree,
pinus muricata, IS not alone in its
salamander-Ike requirements, for a
former Australian living in London
writes as follows to the London Mail:
The waffle tree of Australia (acacia
decurrens) also possesses the same pc
culiarity and it's seeds will only ger
inmate when subjected to great heat
Soaking the seeds of this tree in boiling
water or roasting them in a frying pan
for some hours has been trie" md found
successful, but all other M --Iods have
failed. After the seed has fallen from
the tree it will often lie dormant in
the ground for years, but Immediately
bush fire comes along and reduces all
the parent trees 10 ashes las is often the
case in Australia), the seed terminates
and perfect forest of young trees will
spring up within IL months. Even on
ground where there has not been a wat
tie tree growing within living memory,
these trees have been noticed to grow
up after bush fire. The waffle tree be-
ing very susceptible to fire, is easily
killed, and if the same means that
caused it's destruction did not induce
it to grow again it Would very soon be
eradicated." .....
The teak is said to be another tree
whose seeds can only be sprouted by in
tense heat.

SILVER THE ISSUE.

Senator Henry NJ. Teller the great
silver leader and American statesman
and wife, reached Salt Lake Wednes-
day and stopped there day or two to
rest, before going north. The Senat-
or was interviewed 10y the Herald,
and said in part:
~There is no intention of disband-
ing the Silver Republican party. The
organization will be kept up and the
fight will continue as vigorously as
ever. The financial question Is the
all important question before the
world today. The most of the other
evils, as for example, the trusts, grow
out Of bad financial system and the
way to attack them is to go at the
cause, and when that Is removed and
tho financial question settled on a
righteous basis, these other questions
will fade away and settle themselves.
The SilverRepublican party will keep
up It's organization, because we think
by 30 doing We can be of greater help
to the cause. BY 30 doing We can
hold together great body OF men
who will vote for Democrat, provid-
that he be nominated on a Silver
platform, and if that is the principal
issue: but these men would not vote
that way if the party disbanded."
@What will be the issues in the
next campaign" Mr.. Teller was ask
ed.
The Democrats will make silver the
leading issue. They will probably
have a strong declaration on the sub
ject of trusts, but the antitrust ques-
ton will not overshadow the silver
question. The Chicago platform will
be adopted with some alterations.
The silver cause has not lost an inch
OF ground, but, on the contrary, the
cause has been gaining strength since
the last election. For the present the
war question overshadows all others,
but that is only temporary matter"
When asked who the candidates
will be in the next campaign, he said
they would be Bryan and Mckinley.
Mr.. Teller spoke highly of Bryan's
ability, and said that he expected to
see him nominated by the unanimous
voice of the convention.
aThose so-catied Democrats, such
as tho WhitueJs and Belmonts, and
other wealthy money getters, who
supported Mckinley will do 30 again.
But all the money in the country
cannot defeat Bryan's nomination
and when nominated he will receive
the support Of all the silver and re-
form forces"
