Two Could Do 1t.

Basel, Switzerland, was visited
few years ago by an adventurous
Frenchman whose ruling passion is the
ascent of mountains Stunned by most
other tourists who value at least their
soundness of limb. He tried strenu-
ously to scale the Gopaltenborn, for
the sake Of carrying his name upon
the peak, but all his efforts We're vain.
The next year he returned to the at
tack, and eventually, by taking many
precautions. arrived at the summit.
On his next appearance at the table
d'hote he recounted his exploit to the
company and informed them that he
had planted on the spot blue silk flag
containing his name embroidered in
large characters.
An Englishman, who had listened
silently, rose from the table and
marched out of the hotel. Two days
afterward parcel was delivered to
the adventurous Gaul. He opened it
and found inside his blue silk flag,
which his English neighbor at the table
d'hote had won from the peak by his
own pluck and daring.

nave an immense popular vote in Iowa
when it is all polled. This year the
issues are exactly the same as they
were in 1896 and no one, who believes
in Republican principles, has any
right to neglect to go to the polls and
vote. A comparison of the vote Of
Iowa in 1893 with that of 1896 shows
an alarming percentage of Republican
stay-at-hom voters. The same thing
was true at the congressional election
in 1898, at which time if the Demo
Gratis had polled their full vote they
would have elected congressman in
over half of the districts Of the state.
The following table shows the num-
Der of Republican stay-at-home votes
by districts in 1899 as compared with
1896 and also the average number per
precinct:

The Nerve Displayed by Daniel
O'ConneI n: a Critical Moment.
Daniel O'Connell, the famous Irish
agitator, had contempt for physical
danger. On certain occasion meet
ing had been convened, and large
crowd assembled in room OF the first
floor of building in small city in
Ireland
O'Connell was about to address the
people when gentleman, pale with
fear, made his way to the platform and
hoarsely WHISPERED:
"Liberator, the floor is giving way!
The beams that shore it up are crack
ing, and we shall fall through in a few
minutes!"
keep SILENT" said O'Connell. Then,
raising his voice he addressed the as
sembly:
81 find that the room is too small to
contain the number who desire to come
in, so we must leave it and hold the
meeting outside the building"
AT this few rose and went out, but
the majority retained their seats. Then
O'Connell said:
81 will tell you the truth. You are
Irishmen, therefore brave men. The
floor is giving way, and we must leave
this room at once. If there is panic
and a rush to the door, we shall all be
precipitated into the room below, but
if you obey my orders we shall be
saved. Let the - men nearest the door
go quietly out, then the next -, and so
on till all have gone. shall be the
last to leave"
His instructions were obeyed to the
letter, and he waited, patient and
calm, till all had gone out in safety
Then he walked quietly across the
sundering, cracking floor, reaching the
/, door just as the shattered beams gave
way. And thus. by the force Of his
strong will, terrible accident was
averted.-Exchange

A LIVE COAL TRICK.
Teaches Natural Law, Yet Has All
the Appearance of Magic.

Teaches Natural Law, Yet Has All
the Appearance of Magic.
No one would suppose that it is pos
sible to hold glowing coal on piece
of linen or cotton without burning the
cloth, but that such can be done is easy
for any one to prove. and at the same
time the experiment teaches an impor-
tant natural law. Every child knows
that the telephone and telegraph wires
are made of copper because that metal
is good conductor of heat and cleo
tricity, which is only another form Of
heat If a poker is heated in the fire,
you pick up cloth to hold the outer
end, although it has not been in the
fire, because experience has taught you
that the heat is connected through the
metal from the fire to the outer end.
This experiment with the flaming
coal is based upon this principle and
the additional one that linen and cot
ton are poor conductors of heat Take
a globe of copper and draw piece of
cloth tightly over it so that there is
not 2 wrinkle at the top. If the linen
or cotton is closely woven. the trick is
all the more certain. Then, holding
the cloth tightly in place, you can safe
ly put glowing coal on top of the
cloth, and, while it burns fercely, the
cloth will not even be scorched
The reason is that the great conduc-
tivity of the copper draws the heat of
the coal before it can burn the cloth.
! Do not try this experiment with a
good handkerchief first, for if the cloth
is not tightly drawn it may burn, but
take some worthless piece of linen Oh
muslin, and after you are certain OF
your experience you can astonish your
, friends who do not know the secret

Making n billiard Ball.

1t requires skilled labor to turn out
billiard ball. One half of it is first
turned, an instrument Of the finest
steel being used for the work. Then
the half turned ball is hung up in a
net and is allowed to remain there
for nearly year to dry. Next the
second half is turned, and then comes
the polishing. Whiting and water and
a good deal of rubbing are requisite
for this. 1t is necessary in the end
that the ball shall, to the veriest frac-
ton Of grain, be of certain weight.

IN CIRCLE AT HEAD oF
REPUBLICAN, COLUMN.
A FEW LAST WORDS.

Republicans, don't scratch your
ticket.
The only safe way to vote is by mark
ing your ticket with cross in the circle
at the head of the Republican column.
Every Republican vote should be
polled before noon OH election day.
Keep tally lists and check off the vot-
ers and then send for those who are
old and unable to walk to the polls
and for others who fail to come.
Have carriages at every precinct
in the state and men to go after the
voters and see to it that every RepuD
lican vote in the precinct is polled. Do
not allow Republicans to stay in the
cornfields and, if necessary, take men
along to husll corn while You take the
voter to the polls.
Remember that one vote lost may
turn the scale in some close precinct
or district and may result in the cleo
ton of Democratic congressman
from Iowa and a Democratic congress
man from Iowa may be the one vote
that is needed to enable the Democrats
4 onel Henderson for reelection for
speaker.
Republicans of Iowa, remember that
this state now has a prestige in con-
gress beyond that of any other state
in the Union. 1t is now represented
| by solid Republican delegation in
i both houses and one of that number
was the first man west of the Missis-
4 sippi ever chosen as speaker of the
house State pride alone if there We're
no ether reasons, should induce every
Republican in Iowa to cast his vote to
retain this proud position. You have
| the votes to do it and no specious argu-
ment, no appeal for complimentary
votes for another candidate because
he is a ''good fellow" no personal so
licitation on the part of a Democrat
or personal friend should induce yor
to vote for any other man for this
4 high position than the candidate OF
your own party.
There are Republican votes enough
in Iowa to give the national and state
ticket $4,000 majority. The Democrats
are striving, by personal solicitation
to induce Republicans to throw away
their ballots by complimentary votes
for Democrats. Do not be misled by
this sort of argument or appeal, bu

us of demonstration made bv Mr..
Tut, of London, that even butterflies
may go on spree. In a public lee
ture Mr.. Tut shut up in q case male
and female butterflies with flowers
OF divers species. Now, while the fe-
male butterflies quenched their thirst
modestly by slipping few drops Of
Dew in the calyx of a rose, the males
INDUCED in characteristic intemper-
ance. They went straight to the flow
ers whose distillation produced tho
most alcohol and INDUCED in their
juices till they fell senseless where
they stood. The butterflies were dead
drunk. To further convince his an
dience, Mr. Tut introduced into the
case glass of water and several
glasses of brandy. The male butter
flies, without hesitation, chose the
brandy. The fact does not admit of
doubt Male butterflies In a state Of
