"Reminiscences and Warning.

Finally, let the people heed the i'm
pressive injunction of the Baltimore
Herald: "There have been periods in
this country when the full dinner pail
was not universal, when hundreds Of
thousands of people were out Of en-
ployment by reason of depressed in
dustries and when the necessities Of
life were hard to get. The working
men well remember those times, and
they know that no such conditions
have existed during the present adj
ministration. In these days the empty
dinner pail is a rarity. Mills and fac
tories are running on full time many
Of them day and night; new industrial
enterprises are multiplying in every
part of the country, employment is at
hand for everybody who wants to
work, and wages have been advanced

ferent from the feeling that prevailed
in 1892, when some Republicans ac-
quiesced in the Democratic demand for
q change. No one in the party seems
to demand change at this time. Bry-

Out of 10 commercial travellers inter-

would vote for Bryan. Many said
they did not know "a single Bryan

Hon. w. J. Parkinson of Madison

president has ever made such an i'm
preston on the people of the south as
President Mckinley. The secretary of
the Mckinley and Roosevelt club of

Sir George Campbell, who had very
strlent, loud, rasping voice, called on
Sir Algernon, who was then secretary
to Mr.. Gladstone, 10 talk over the land
question.
After he had been IN conversation
about three minutes the office keeper
appeared, bearing the card OF an NJ. L.

Sir Algcrnon. The latter said he was
sorry to be engaged. In another min

DO You Eat Out or InY

The number and variety Of knives
and forks that now grace a we'll equip
ped and formal dinner table may we'll
dismay one unused to such a vnricgat-
ed display of cutlery and silver. There
are forks for the oysters, for the fish
and for the roast and forks as we'll for
anything else that may be served.
There are also knives to correspond to
the forks that may be needed. These
implements that social convention de-
crees to be necessary to convey food to
the mouth are usually laid out In for
midabIe rows on either side Of the
plate.
The other evening n simple western

with growing trcpidation. Her COM
mon sense told her that they were laid
out in the regular order in which 1t
was intended that they should be used,
but nothing In her experience had
taught her which was the right end of
the row to start in with. Finally, In

Swim ding u Bank.

A few years ago we'll dressed man
presented himself at a certain national
bank and laid down a check for $4,000.
1t was signed by well known whole
sale whisky house, and upon the back
were the words, identification waiv-
cd" At the same time we'll dressed
man entered the office of live stock
firm at the stockyards and asked IL he
could wait in the office, as he expected
telephone message. He was told that
he could, and he took seat near the
telephone.
Down in the bank the paying teller
was asking who the holder of the
check knew. He said not many firms,
as he was a stock dealer, but if the tell
er would call up Mr.. Smith of Jones &
Smith, the we'll known brokers at the
stockyards he would find out that he
was all right. The teller called for the
pumbcr, and when the ring answered
he asked for Smith. The man on the
end said he was Smith, and he at once
gave Brown, the holder, the amount Of
the check.
When it was discovered that tho
check was forgery, there was an aw-
full kick, as Smith said Brown was as
good as gold. Smith declared that he
had talked to no one, and the result
was an argument between Smith and
the bank teller. No one knew about
the accomplcc answering the phone,
and the result was that Smith took his
account from the bank, and no one
ever knew who it was who answered
the clcphone.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

In the "sawdust towns" the small

OF late years the general view has
been that the interior of the globe.
though partly liquid, is for the most
part solid. Some have considered that
n section through the earth would
show the following:
% An outer solid envelope, 2) n
semifluid envelope, CD n fluid cnvel-
nucleus. No. I results from reduced
temperature only, No. 2 from pres
sure and temperature not quite sutfi-
ccnt for liquidation, No. 3 from tenn
perature sufficiently high to produce
complete liquidation, No. 4 from u
pressure so great rs to prevent even
the terrific heat which. most certainly
exists deep down In the earth from
completely liquefying the material on
which 1t works, and No. 5 from pres
sure which overcomes completely the
liquefylng power even Of the maxi
mum heat of the interior.
This pressure is estimated to be at
the center of the earth 7,1S0,593, 100
pounds to the square foot, n pressure
so enormous that no known substance
could fuse beneath 1t. Even hydrogen
at the highest possible temperature
would under such conditions become
ms hard as diamond. Hence 1t seems
probable that, far from there being 4
vacuum at the center OF the earth,
there Is n basis of Intensely solid mat
ter there.-Pearson's Weekly.
