Nature Lessons Out of Doors,

Nature classes that meet in the open
air are sources of delight to the
Youngsters who are fortunate enough
to belong to them. In Il lesson over
heard recently, the small boys pro-
verbal curiosity was satisfied by
talks upon how the insects hear,
where the grasshopper's ears are situa-
ted, what makes the locust sing, how
the crickets chirp, how many legs
spider has, where the butterflies
come from, and what makes the katy
dds song.-New York Tribune.

About the middle of this century IL
was the universal custom to face tho
white keys of pianos and organs with
ivory. and to make the black ones OF
ebony. Long age ivory became too ex-
pensive for any but the finest key
boards, calluloid taking its place. Now
ebony also has advanced in price, so
that a substitute for it is in demand
Dogwood has been found to serve the
purpose eXcellently, and it can be
stained fine black and oiled and pol
ished until it quite equals ebony both
in durability and appearance. The
industry OF cutting and marketing dog
wood. once a valuable tree. for this
purpose, is already giving employment
10 considerable number of people.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 17.-Hon.
John T. McGraw came in from Deer
Park, Md, yesterday, on his way to
Montgomery, w. Va.
Deer Park will be the headquarters
of the Literary Bureau of Mr.. Nc
Graw's campaign during the summer
months, and the work of organizing
and distributing has already begun.
This branch of the campaign will re-
ceive much more attention than here
tofore, and is expected to prove effec-
tive. AS to the political situation in
West Virginia, Mr.. McGraw expressed
himself as highly pleased with the
prompt acceptance by all ranks of the
Democratic party of the results of the
Kansas City Convention, saying that
evidences were plentiful on every hand
of the unification of Democratic polit-
ical opinion.
Conditions in the State" he con-
tinued, ARE vastly improved over those
of four years ago, and the indications
point strongly to Democratic victory.
In 1896 such Democratic leaders as
ex-senator Camden and Ex-Governor
Fleming supported Palmer and Buck
ner, and aside from their personal eff
forts the moral influence of their re-
fusal to support the regular Democratic
nominees had powerful weight
throughout the State. This year these
leaders are for the ticket and the
party is united and harmonious.
"The only method by which the Re-
publicans can carry the State is by the
importation of negroes and every pre-
caution will be taken to prevent this
being DONE

The Shanghai correspondent of

The allied troops resumed the

HON. WILLIAM j. BRYAN
Terseiy States the Importance o
Free silver and imperialism.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 1-William J.
Bryan's attention was called to-day to
the fact that some anti-imperialists had
announced they would be opposed to him
on account of the silver plank in the plat
form, and he was asked as to whether
this fact would seriously affect the anti
imperialist vote He said:
Several gold standard opponents of
Imperialism have already announced their
intention to support the Democratic
ticket, although the anti-imperialistic
league has not acted officially In such
a matter each individual is governed by
his own views as to the relative import
ance OF the issues. The Democratic plat
form declares the question of imperial
ism to be the paramount issue. If any OPP
ponent If Imperialism refuses to support
the Democratic ticket because of the sill
Yer plank, it must be because he consid-
ers the money question more important
than the Philippine question; that is. he
prefers a gold standard empire to BIZ
metallic republic. When the test comes
l believe that those who adhere to the
doctrine that governments derive their
just powers not from superior forces, but
from the consent of the governed, will
support our ticket even though they do
not endorse the silver plank"
