BI0GEST CAMPAIGN PARADE.
800 Republican Voters Marched q
10 O'clock Last Night.

The biggest parade Of the campaign
VA an impromptu affair and tool
place at 10 O'Clock last night. Re
publican caucusss were held Ia each
ward during tho evening and when
they closed the attendants came down
town together. Some one called out
Fall iu!" and, with Robert Korna
bsating time on big drum and two
members Of the band who were In the
company leading, the parade com.
menced. It stretched out until 500
voters were In line and the parade
VA two blocks long. Around the
blocks Of the east side Of town they
marched, cheering for Mckinley and
Roosevelt, Stanley and Burton and
Uncle Sam. Care was taken not to
80 near the theatre as it might have
disturbed the Fusion meeting. At
last the long line marched under the
big Mckinley flag on Broadway and
cheered and sang patriotic songs. 1t
was IN many ways one Of the most
interesting and thrilling incidents Of
Abilene's political history.

What Economy in Coal Means.

If the American housewife knew po-
litical economy, as indeed many do
and all should, she would be con-
science stricken and declare herself
miserable sinner because of the way
she wastes fuel. Kitchen fires strong
enough to run an engine broil the
breakfast chop. The furnace is heaped
with coal and forgotten until the house
is unbearably heated; then windows
and doors are thrown open to cool 1t
of, and no one heeds that energy
heat-sufIicient to work wonders In
producing wealth is being cast to The
winds. The same housewife who per-
mits this wrong is sensitive to the
fact that by her moral and intellectual
acts the future of unborn generations
is conditioned. She knows she has 1t
in her power-the power Of every indi.
yidual-to increase or diminish the
moral force of humanity. Is 1t not
worth while remembering, too. that
she has it in her power to increase or
diminish the industrial force?
The greatest single factor of indus
trial force is coal. The housewife who
economies coal does something more
than save her husbands money. She
is conserving for all humanity neces'
sary of life, on which, In the first In
stance, the bread and butter OF pres.
ent and future generations depend

CHINA. w..tm,n,ter Abbey.

The Temple of Confucius, at Chu-
fou.hsien, is the Westminster ABBEY
of China, and the grave Of that sacred
parsonage is the most noted spot III
the grounds. A sacred mound sur
mounts the remains of Confucius. Near
the mound is q building erected FOR
the meditation of those who render
homage to the greatest Chinaman who
has ever lived. Near by Is a tree, said
to have been planted by Confucius-or.
rather the trunk of it, for 1t Is dead.
The tree Is on q circular stand OF
stones and mortar, close by q huge
table of stone that looks like marble.
having been polished by q devotee.
The mound is only twelve feet high.
Before it Is a table bearing the name
and the works of the man buried be-
meath, and at the foot Of the tablet
Is the famous incense vase.
The inscription reads: "Ohih Shang
Hsien Shin K'ung Tzu." which means
the perfect sage, the former teacher.
the philosopher K'ung. Near to the
tomb Of Confucius is that Of his son,
who died four years before the Chi
nese seer; but the tomb Of the grand
son attracts more notice because 1t Is
almost as grand as that of Confucius.
There are thousands of graves near
the shrine of Confucius, and the nearer
they are the better the lot of the de-
parted, according to the belief OF the
Chinese. The keepers Of the temple
demand a fee before showing the place
to Observation-Disclosures Mail.

When the Rain Falls.

"Barsa ka salta," the game of haz-
ard recently prohibited in India by the
English Government, cannot be played
except when it rains, for, in fact, it
consists of betting on the date of rain
and the quantity that may descend
from the skies. On the porticoes there
are certain tubs introduced which
have a perpendicular pipe in their cen
tres, the pipe being provided with
equal division marks or notches. The
point Of the game is to determine in
advance just what time a certain
height will be reached by the water.
The natives have pursued this method
of gambling with such passion that
auarrels. and dangerous ones, often re-
suited. and hence the ruling OF the
English Government to make the play

A Cat That Kills Snakes.

Miss Ruby Fleming, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George NJ. Fleming, of this
place, has a cat that is not only fine
mouser, but has developed penchant
to kill snakes. This cat is a very fine
one and wears ribbons and bells,
through the pettish scheme of Miss
Ruby. One day last week she heard
the bells ringing vigorously. She
went to the door and saw fight in
the yard shrubbery going on between
the cat and a very large moccasin
snake. The snake would dart its head
at the cat and she with her foot would
knock the head of the snake to one
side every time. Finally the cat
grabbed the snake by the back of the
neck and shook 1t considerably. Mr..
Fleming then came to the rescue and
killed the snake with stick. A few
days after, the bells on the cat began
to ring again in the front yard. Miss
Fleming went out and found that the
cat was in another combat with a
huge snake. The cat put the snake to
rout, and as the snake attempted to
run in at the door Mr.. Fleming killed
1t also with n stick. This is a re-
markable cat and one we would like
to own.-Marietta (Ga.) Journal.

Bicycle Music Boxes.

A musical bicycle is the invention
of a Chicago man, and was designed
for the purpose of furnishing music
for the rider of the wheel and his COM
panions. in order to brea.- the monot-
ony during long and tedious runs.
The mechanism, which is quite sim
pie, is mounted on an iron frame
made to fit into that of the machine.
On this frame are stretched piano
wires, while on the crosspiece are some
small hammers operated by pins on
the cylinder. and made to strike the
wires. The cylinder is rotated by
worn gears placed at its left hand end
and driven from the crank shaft by a
cord and pulley. The inventor has
foreseen the case when the riders
should tire Of the music by providing
a small lever for throwing out the
gears and thus stopping the cylinder.
The tune may be varied by putting in
new cylinders and the time of the air
may be quickened by increasing the
speed of the wheel.-Scientific Ameri-

One of the artistic home decorators
unwritten laws is always to have one
centre rug in the dining-room large
enough to hold the chairs comfortably
when people are seated at the table.
A number CT small rugs dispersed at
intervals may be permissible in other
rooms, but not in the dining-room.
Brass nails and sockets now come for
fastening rugs to the floor. and these
are often used. Strips of lead fast
ened in an invisible facing underneath
is another way of preventing rugs
from curling up or slipping on pol

A French Fraud.

The Parisians are copying after the
proverbial Yankee in shrewdness, but.
like all imitators, they lack the skill
of the genuine. 1t now seems that at
the Paris Exhibition, what was sup
posed to be the biggest telescope IN
the world, and which was to bring the
moon within four miles Of the world.
is a fake. The full moon thus shown
is always a full moon. In fact, the
telescope is no telescope at all In the
proper sense of the word, for In place
of the object-glass is large transpar-
ency of the moon. No matter whether
the moon In the sky be new or In
the quarters. the view shown Is al
ways in the full. Now. If this had
been Yankee, he would at least have
carried the joke far enough to repre-
sent Luna in all her rhases.-Philadel'
phia Record.
