A WHELP OF STANDARD OIL.
The National City bank, whose Presi-
dent Stillman is Rockefeller brother
in-law, is cub of Standard Oil. What
it's course is to be may be reckoned from
the past and present Of the Standard
OIL. This slippery, coiling, squeezing
trust, the Standard Oil, forces millions
of rebates from railroads. It has the
thumb Of its control on congress- on the
courts, on the Interstate commission,
on the president. It offers an attorney

that officer complains by petition to a

As one reads this table Of millions, It
is of local New York interest to know
that the very honest Rockefeller, az Z
resident Of this city pays taxes on only
100000, no more, as the whole sum Of
his personal estate. Rockefeller IL ex-
cellently aided thereunto by the unex-
cellent Freitner, who likes" it at that
amount, and who for the good Of the
public and the Democratic party might
better be asked to resign as the head Of
the tax board without delay. A man
worth 100000, 900 assessed for $500. 900!
But let that pass It is Of a par and 4
piece with every Rockefeller or Freitner
thing The Verdict wots Of. However,
the trail of present inquiry bends an
other way. The question is: Will the
folk of this country submit to the rule
Of this bank trust, OF will they tumble

as it were, its partner?

Mines that Burn For Years.

A number of good sized mines are
now on fire in the United States and
have been for years. The Vulcan mine
on the Green river, opposite Newcastle,
in Colorado, has been on fire since the
great explosion several years ago, when
about 80 persons lost their lives. All
efforts to quench it have proved fruit
less. In Butte there is mine which
has been afire since 1884. 1t has been
treated with carbonic acid gas gener-
ated on a large scale, quicklime and
acids and all the sitting devices that
genius and experience could devise, but
so far without effect
In Pennsylvania there are several
steadily burning mines, and in one
place where the outlet of natural gas is
very great the spectacle 1t affords is of
SURPRISING interest. For miles around
a great tower of fire may be seen day
and night, and the dense black smoke
which it gives off settles upon the sur
rounding country. How mine gets
afire is easily explained, even though
the greatest precautions are taken to
prevent 1t. Coal seams exude gas
varying in quantity according to the
pressure and the quality of the deposit,
which gas when mixed with air in GER
tain proportions is about as explosive
as gunpowder.-New York Post.

Chinese Pulse Feeling.

The Chinese physicians, it is well
known, have long had the credit of
paying very particular attention to the
pulse. They even pretend to derive a
much more minute and accurate knowl-
edge of the state Of the sick from that
source than European practitioners lay
any claim to.
The patient is directed to be laid in
bed, with his arm resting on a small
cushion. The physician must be seat
ed, and both parties are enjoined to re-
main calm, silent and collected. The
fingers are next to be applied In due
succession, one after another, in order
to Judge Of the compressibility Of the
artery.
The Chinese do not infer solely from
the rapidity of the pulsations. Their
mode Is to compare the number Of pull
sations Of the artery with the intervals
Of the respiration Of the patient. The
number of pulsations of man in mod
crate health they consider in relation
to the time of natural inspiration and
expiration. Four beats of the pulse
during this period they consider as in
dicating perfect health. If it exceeds
five pulsations, it is considered as too
quick; If under that number, as too
slow respecting good health. 1t is re-
quired to reckon 30 pulsations in order
to form a correct indication. Their
chief divisions Of the pulse are four,
the superficial, the profound, the quick
and the slow. These they consider as
having relation to the four tempera-
ments, the choleric, the sanguine, the
phlegmatic and the melancholy

The black inhabitants of Venezuela

rest until 1t has sought out the man

vengeance for the robbery.
They cite instances of men who have

Brady of his experiences as "a Mis-

student was with us. He was one OF
the ambitious kind of divinity students
who wreck a parish or two when they
begin and finally drift upon the eccle-

ready to argue about anything with

man rose and went out on the platform
to hide his chagrin, leaving the sup

huge enjoyment at his easy victory.

He Hea TOO Many Names,

About two years before Mr.. Sawyer
retired from the senate his mail one
morning contained touching letter
from a man in Maryland whose home
had just been frightened by the ar
rival of a bouncing boy. The fond
parent went on to tell that the boy
would be named Philetus Sawyer
Jones and expressed the hope that the
child would grow up an honor to the
name and the possessor of the fine
traits Of character that distinguished
the generous hearted man whose name
would be borne by himself.
Senator Sawyer went to the senate
chamber with warm glow in his
heart and the determination to send
that fond parent nice big check. He
felt. so good that he showed the letter
to Senator Allison. The Iowa man
chuckled as he read 1t and produced a
letter almost Identical except that the
young prodigy was to be named VIII
liam Allison Jones.
1t was too good to keep, and they
told the story to Senator Edmunds of
Vermont That stately old gentleman
melted sufficiently to smilingly produce
letter of similar purport. Then there
ensued q comparison of senatorial
notes, showing that the youthful Mary
lander had been fairly loaded with dis
tinguished names from Justin Morrill,
Jones to Don Cameron Jones. That
Maryland infant received no birthday
