DOG BAROMETERS.
Sailors Place Implicit Reliance in

Sailors generally show an inclination
for pets, but the dog is valuable men,
Der of the crew. He is considered as
trustworthy as a barometer in giving
notice of an approaching storm. Most
dogs are towards in storms. Occa-
sionally a captain finds a dog that is
not afraid of heavy weather, and seems
to enjoy the rolling or pitching Of the
ships; but as rule dogs are as afraid
of a gale as a woman passenger, and at

WISE ANIMALS.
Some That Seem to Do Some Think
ing When They Get Iato
Trouble.

A naturalist found black ants were
devouring the skins of some bird speci-
mems on a table, so he made tar circles
on four pieces of paper and put one I'M
der each leg of the table. Ants will not
cross tar. Pretty soon he found the
ants busily at work again, and, looking
at the tar circles, found each one was
bridged by bits of sand which the clever
ants had brought in from the street.
On one occasion, owing to excessive
heat, one of the combs of a beehive be-
came detached and was in great danger
of falling. The bees at once set to work
and erected a snoring pillar between
the endangered comb and the one next
to it. The pillar braced the comb and
kept it from falling. Then they rebuilt
the wax cells, fastening the comb to the
wall, and afterward removed the pillar,
A Capuchin monkey was given some
walnuts, which he tried to crack with
his teeth, but found he was not strong

cellent results. Other monkeys have
been seen to utilize 2utpicks.

COFFEE TIPS
Row ths First Plants Were Brought
OvDz to This Side Of the
World.

A pretty story of the introduction OF
coffee into the western hemisphere is
quite TO the point since our new posses
sions have so bountifully produced it in
the past, says the Philadelphia Record.
There was time when this assisted
emigrant," though SO nobly self-sup-
porting when it has the opportunity,
was a tender slip and likely to perish Of
thirst. In 1714 Louis XIV. was pre-
scented with a single coffee plant for
his botanical garden by an Amsterdam
magistrate. 1t was nourished tenderly
and in time slips from it were sent TO
Martinique-no doubt sub-rosa to the
Dutch-the Dutch having long con-
troled the cultivation of coffee and
guarded it jealousy lest it be Guilt
vatsd on islands not under their control.
On the way to Martinique the botanist
in charge, the ships supply Of water
getting low, shared his own daily al
lowance with the precious plants. Re-
spending to his kindness, they were
soon growing nicely in Martinique. In
due time these slips produced their
fragrant white flowers-they grow at
the roots of the leaves-and these pres
emily changed into berries, each with
It's two grains of coffee. From Mar
Unique the coffee journeyed to Porto
Rico and Cuba.
Now Porto Rico alone annually ex-
ports about $9,OOO,OOO worth of this
highly esteemed bean. The plant grows
wild in some parts of Africa.

HOW to Ruin Machinery.

What is the meaning of all these
moving machines, reapers, horse-rakes
and other farm implements being left
out in the weather? Have they just
been taken out temporarily for some
reason? No, not much. They have
been left to stand where last used, and
Il we mistake not they will stand there
in the fields or in the fence corners un-
til wanted again. What kind of way is
this to do and expect to keep the bal
ance on the proper side of the ledger?
Wet and sun will spoil the best iron or
steel and the best wood. This sort of
practice don't happen in isolated cases
by any means. Why not take the par
lor chairs out on the open porch and
leave them there through the fall and
winter.-Farmers Review.

DEM0cRACYS ATTITUDE.
What the State Platforms Reveal
The Drift Toward Aguinaldo.
New York "sun" tRep).

New York "Sun" (Rep.l
Judged by the Democratic State plat
forms of the year, the official attitude Of
the Democratic party is one of opposition
to the aims of the United States in the
Philippines and of sympathy with Agui-
naldo. The Bryanite managers, singular
ly foolish and futile lot, cannot force all
the Democratic voters into the unpatriotic
course which has been laid down for them
In most of the Southern States, for OBJ
vious reasons, the Democratic party is
cure to win. But in the West, whose pa
triotism is ardent and militant. the Demo
cratic Aguinaldism will only be one more
reason for rejecting the Democratic
party.
The future disposal of the Philippines
or the form of government which is best
suited for the various tribes of their inhab-
itants does not enter properly into the
question of the war. Expansion or anti
expansion, the United States has clear
right and title to the Philippines; it has
been attacked by an adventurer, the head
of portion of one tribe, and in decency
and honor it must assert its authority and
reduce its assailants TO submission.
1t was natural enough that few para
noiac bores in Boston and Chicago should
not acknowledge the plain duty of the
United States and should slobber over
Aguinaldo. The Democratic party, urged
by narrow leaders and hating the Republi-
cans more than it loves the country, causes
disgust if not surprise by falling in sullenly
behind the Anti-Imperislist League.
There are plenty of Democrats who will
never stomach this fatal renewal of the ia
tai Democratic policy of 1864. The West
will not stomach it; and when the war is
ended, the West, from self.interest as well
as from its broad national spirit, will be
found on the side of the Development of
American markets in the Pacfc.

Washington, August 3.-The agents

many report increased activity on the
part of the German officers to curtall
the importation of American food pro-
ducts. A greater effort than ever be-
fore will be made to secure from the
reichstag a statute providing for an in
spection by agents Of the German gov
eminent of all American products
which shall be so strict as to entirely
ignore the certificates of American in
spection. The agitation is being con-
Quoted principally by the agrar1ans,
and it is stated that the press is being
used to an unwonted extent to create
public sentiment adverse to all Amer
lean food articles. Especial attention
is given to beef, and use is made of the
recent Investigations by the war de-
partment. The agitation, in itself, has
had the effect of reducing German con-
sumption of our meat products, but the
officials here are not especially appre-
hensive of litigation.
