CAIN, BUT NOT ASLEEP.

William Jennings Bryan has natural
ly been somewhat gloomy and quiet
since election, but he is beginning tc
take notice." and he is also doing
some talking. At "the Jefferson ban
quet' in Lincoln last evening Mr.
Bryan said a few words, and among
the few were these: Whether I shall
ever be a candidate for office again is
question which must be determined
by events. No one can speak with GER
tainty of the future, for ones destiny
is not known until his life-work is COM
plete. l shall be content il it is my lot
to aid in the triumph of the principles
while others enjoy the honors and bear
the responsibility of Office
This is neat and subdued, and it
seems to mean that Mr.. Bryan is will
ing to be a Moses as long as the people
want him, if not longer. He will doubt
less keep sharp eye on events.

The extensive military operations Of
the last two years have set the inyen-
tive geniuses of this country at work,
and some of the results of their work
are interesting One of the plans is for
a monster magnet which is to be erect
ed III the midst of a fighting army for
the purpose of drawing off the bullets
of the enemy Another inventor has de-
vised what he calls scheme to inter-
fere with the enen1y's aim. 1t consists
of a series of mirrors which are to be so
arranged as to throw the rays of the
sun into the eyes of the enemy, No
provision is made for cloudy days or for
use at night. Several portable shields
have been presented, all being based on
the general idea of the construction of
along in advance of an army to protect
the men from bullets. There are also
plans for the speedy humiliation of an
enemy by the use OF drugs, acids and
gases in shells. In this way 1t has been
proposed to use nitro-glycerine, ether,
poisonous gases and sleep producing
drugs. One inventor has proposed
shell made of glass which is to explode
and cut the enemy into pieces, while
another suggests that shells filled with
snuff be fired.
BY and by, when the air is filled with
flying machines more Inventions will
be needed to protect armies.

in parliamentary quarters in Berlin.

Bulow naturally expressed his delight
and perhaps he really was delighted.
But all at orce he seemed to be consid-
ering about something, and the empe-
ror, perceiving this said: "What is the
matter now, BuloW?" The latter an
swered that he had just CHANGED to
think Of his wife She had nothing
against the chancellorehp, but great
deal against the chancellor's palace, for,
while her present home was a regular
little jewel box, the great cleaning
down in the chancellor's palace would
not be completed before this time
twelve months. give my greetings to
the countess his Majesty replied, joe
ularly, and tell her I would contribute
my part toward the cleaning down"
Herr Won Bulow may perhaps have
hoped that the emperor would see that
the palace was thoroughly renovated.
IF SO. he was mistaken. A few days
later very bulky parcel was left at
the Countess Won Bulow's by the empe-
ror's orders. 1t contained hundred
weight of soap. the promised eontrlbu-
tion toward the great cleaning down.

A WoNDERFUL DISCOVERY.

These are the days of wonderful dis
coveries. One of the latest and most
wonderful has been made in Chicago,
where, it is related, experiments on tur-
ties have convinced DR.. jacques Loeb
and Professor d. J. Lingle, physiolo-
gists at the University of Chicago that
common salt in the blood makes the
heart beat. What is more, they claim
that not only does salt keep the heart
in action, but that it possibly may cause
the heart to beat again after it has once
stopped.
Thus do the scientists confirm the sa-
gacity of the common people, who have
long known that it isn't good for any
body to be too fresh.

Remarkable testimony to the mater
ial benefits to Egypt of the British rule
is given in the report of the Public
Works department. Though the Nile
flood of 1899-1900 was the lowest record
ed during the present century, yet SO eff
flcient We're the measures taken by the
irrigation officials to minimize it's evil
effects that the distress was enormously
less than on all previous occasions of
a failure of the flood. The area of land
unirrigated in consequence of the low
Nile in 1877 was 100000 acres, but in
1899 it was only a third as much This
was nearly all in Upper Egypt, where
the distress was hardly felt, as an i'm
mense amount of contract work was in
progress, which enabled the people toob-
tain a good daily wage and tided over
the interval between the two crops. In
Lower Egypt 'the situation was saved
by the Barrage, which, for the first
time in it's history, was regulated upon
(sic) throughout the flood" The cotton
crop suffered but slightly, being very
nearly the largest on record, while the
maize crop was up to the average. The
value of the cotton crop (Which, in 1899,
was, in round numbers, $43, 00O,O00) was
$3.50 600 600.

house of representatives from the Ha-
waiian Islands, has just been paid 81, 00C
for mileage by the sergeant-at-arms of
the house, and he will draw $1,000 more

1t ID also interesting to know that the
Hawaiian Islands are not the only part
of our new possessions afflicted with
leprosy. 1t is figured that there are
thirty thousand lepers in the Philip
pines LeDrosy, 1t seems, has existed
in the Philippines since 1888, when it
was taken there from Japan. There is
talk now Of picking out an island where
the lepers in the Philippines will be iso-
lated. If we could only isolate the
Philippine rebels 1t would be encour-
aging But never mind. Let us
bear our part of THE white
mans burden. We are doing good and
helping to spread the blessings of
Christian civilization in the dark places

THE sHRTNKAGE OF ENGLAND.


With regard to the east coast sor-
4 ~ story has to be told, the county of
Yorkshire, for instance, from Bridling-
ton to Spurn Head has been disappear
ing, it is calculated, at an average rate
of six feet year. Tt is said that care
full observation of a certain tWelve-mile
stretch shows that the cliffs forty feet
high have been eaten away by the
waves for one hundred and thirty-tWo
feet in forty years 1t is, however, at
Spurn Head that the greatest ravages
have taken place.
In Edward lis time the village of
Ravenspur, a seaport near Spurn
Head, Sent more than one member to
parliament; in 1899 and 1471 Henry Nv.
and Edward w., respectively, landed
there but very soon after the latter's
visit the entire town was swept away
by the sea. To-day the village of
Winsea alone stands upon the Head
the old site of the village-once a fair
place on hill, with fine old church,
destroyed by the waves in 1820--is now
some hundreds Of yards below high wa
ter mark, and when New Kilnsea Joins

enough be DISCHARGED.

Sometimes one may see a boy or even
man who will carry the gun across
the back of the neck, with one arm
over the stock and the other over the
barrels, sometimes with the hand rest
ing on the muzzle. This is certain to
give a very uncomfortable feeling to
any one who happens to be walking by
the side of the person carrying his gun
in this fashion and opposite the muzzle
end. While the danger of a discharge
is perhaps not great, it is unpleasant to
be walking along with a gun pointed
at your neck or head.-Forest and

CRECY.

gross; one expects such great things
from French churches that Its deficien-
Giles seem more considerable than they

morning the interior was made lustrous
by the presence of q number of nuns in
spotless white, solemnly receiving the

the French proprietor of 1t; he must
have got rather weary at seeing exul-

looking a the wheat fields and acres of

The conservative English lawyer is
giving up the use of parchment for le-
gal documents. For some time it's use
has been diminishing, and now Sir
Francis Jeune, the President of the Pro-
bate, Divorce and Admiralty Division
of the English Courts, has authorized
the use, after January /, 1901, of spe-
cial paper, instead of parchment for
grants and engrossments in probate
work. For the present parchment en-
grossments will not be refused, but they
must be uniform in size with the official
engrossnent sheets. Convenience and
economy have induced this change 1t
is said that the special paper will be
more convenient than the parchment,
which is characterized as Awkward"
and in addition Sir Francis Jeune says
that the substitution of the paper for
the parchment will effect saving of at
least $4,000 year. For some time the
English lawyers have been using a spe~
cial paper for affidavits and for other le-
gal papers. Just what this special pa
per is made of is not stated.

While working near the island of Ce-

recently found some bronze statues of
relics Of ancient art, which appear to
have lain at the bottom of the sea for
many centuries. Most of the articles
brought to the surface were a great
deal damaged by the water, but hand
and head in bronze were sufficiently
well preserved to indicate that they are
of Greek workmanship, though their
origin is unknown.

According to the Jacksonville papers,
serious condition confronts the cattle
industry of Florida. 1t has recently de-
veloped that the remarkable demand
for beef and dairy cattle in Cuba has
about stripped Florida of her supply of
those animals, especially the better
grades of them. 1t seems that the is
land was completely depleted of cattle
by the various armies during the long
war period, and every range and farm
is now getting back it's stock as fast as
it can procure the cattle. Many are
consumed as fast as they arrive while
the better-bred animals are preserved
for breeding purposes. Fldridas ranch
es have been drawn on very heavily to
meet this demand, and the result has
become very noticeable.
