Earthenware sIeepers.

Earthenware sleepers, the invention
Of japanese, were recently expert
mented on in Japan. Fairly good re-
suits were obtained. 1t is claimed that
the increased cost Of earthenware
sleepers is amply compensated by their
freedom from decay.

Deseneracy of the Republican Party.

DeReneracy of the Republican Party.
Once the Republican party stood for
great principles. once 1t had message
for humanity. once its leaders were
men Of conviction, once it believed In
the declaration Of independence; but
the finger of the corporation has erased
every great motto from its banners,
and to-day the great party Of Lincoln
sits meekly In the market place and
takes its instructions from the trust
magnates of America.
Once it had conscience, now only
hunger; once 1t loved liberty, now 1t
wOrships the dollar; once 1t stood for
humanity, now only for plunder. Time
changes. men degenerate and parties
rot. Cant is at premium and hypoc-
risy passes for coin. The creed Of
King George has become the platform
Of Mckinley and Mark Hanna's dollar
sign breeches has become the flag Of
the Republican party.-Hon. ]. p. Alt.

Our cocher has been ordered to turn

PAY DAY IN CHINA.
All Accounts Are Settled ON New
Years Day-Presents in
Red Paper.

New Year is the national pay day in
China. All accounts must be squared
up at that time, and the man who
can't raise money enough to pay his
debts has to go into bankruptcy, says
the London Mail. The laws are such
that the creditor can enter the debtors
house and take what he pleases if
there is no settlement. To prevent
such action families club together and
make all sorts of compromises to keep
up the business reputation of the clan.
New Year is a great day for the pawn
brokers. Their shops are crowded
with people who want to redeem their
best clothes before the new year.
There are crowds also who want to
pawn other things in order to get
money enough to pay their debts.
Pawnbrokers receive high rates of in
terest, in which they are protected
by the government.
The Chinese paint the whole country
red on New Years day in more senses
than one. Red is the color which with
them denotes good luck and prosper
ity, and all the New Year cards and
invitations are on paper of that color.
Every child gets its New Year present
wrapped in red paper, and red in
scriptions are pasted over the doors of
the houses.

ing when he got up he looked out and
the tide was in, the water coming up
close to the hotel. He gazed at the
widespread waters for an instant, and,
throwing up his hands in astonish-
ment he exclaimed: Gee whiz, but
it must have rained hard last night

But one day he said to me: .Elkins,

Next jerry Smith soliloquized to
himself. Jerry has been at every din

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. THE ma

Mine Workers of America finished its
session Tuesday afternoon and adj
journed to meet again in three months.
The most important action taken at
the session was the levying of an as

the strikers who have been out in the
southwest for nearly a year past fight
ing the Big Four Coal company for an
advance in wages. 1t was decided to
require each member of the organiza-

in the Judgment of the board it is
necessary to take care of the south
western miners. This is to be paid into
the various locals and forwarded by
the secretaries to the nationals secre-

to the order of the board. This will
provide from $4,000 to $4,000 per

MYSTERY OF MINERAL NINE.

Among the magicians and sooth-
sayers of ancient times both the fig
ures nine and three had certain
amount of mystery and sacredness at
tached to them, and volumes have
been written in explanation of their
meaning in connection with the his
tory of men and the world. Apropos
Of this, a curious coincidence is noted
in the fact that nearly all the great
mining discoveries Of recent times
have been made in years ending with
the magic figure nine. Thus the IA
nous gold find in California fell in the
year 1s49. Ten years later, in 1850,
remarkable discoveries Of the same
metal were made in British Columbia,
causing a great rush of fortune hunt,
ers to these points, says Leslie's
Weekly.
In 1860 the famous Comstock lode
find became known to the world; in
1879 the gold-bearing region around
Leadville and Tombstone, A. T., began
TO attract attention, and in 1889 the
| diggings at Glover Creek and in lower
| California became the objective points
of great multitudes of excited and
| anxious seekers after sudden wealth.
And now again, at the end of another
decade, history repeats itself once
more. The remarkable gold finds re-

GETTING AN ANTIQUE CHEAP.
hogany Table at Very
Small Cost.

When man becomes a crank on the
subject of antiques he will go to any
extreme to gain possession of a coveted
treasure, says the Philadelphia Record.
There is physician up the northeast
way who has the craze, and has it bad.
He made professional call on an old
Irish woman the other day, and, as her
ailment was not of sufficient severity
to keep hor from her household duties,
he found her in the kitchen washing
dishes. His eyes glistened as he saw
the table upon which this homely op-
Grafton was being performed. 1t was
an old decrepit affair on three legs, but
1t was solid mahogany, with quaint
carvings.
"That's queer sort of table to be
washing dishes on" yentured the doc
tor.
"Sure, it is that" replied its owner;
IAN wouldn't be bothered wild it at
all, at all, if could afford new one"
The doctor was all solicitude in mo-
ment. "Why, that's too bad," he said.
And then, as though seized with a sud-
den philanthropic inspiration, he add
ed: IF you will allow me I'll buy you
new table, and I'll take the old one off
your hands" OF course, the old woman
was only too delighted. The doctor in
vested two dollars in common kitchen
table, in exchange for which he received
the old mahogany one, which hed been
in the old woman's family for nearly a

FAMOUS zoos.
South Africa Possesses some of the
Largest and Finest In
the World.

The South African republics zoolog-
ical collection and gardens are the fin
est and largest in the world. The gar
dens, which are in the Lebombo region,
are guarded by whole tribe of Katiirs.
and contain every species Of Wild ami
NAL to be found in South Africa. The
geological collection at Bronx park,
New York, is remarkably fine one.
The gardens cover 300 acres, and one of
its most important features is the
natural environments provided for the
animals.
The animals of South America, for
instance, are given the free range of
large Enclosures containing miniature
mountains, rivers and forests; while
the tigers and lions live in sandy
stretches, jungles and SO on. The Vel
lowstone national park. of the United
States, with its area of 1875 square
miles, forms a geological preserve for
almost every species of animal found
in that part of the world. The London
geological gardens contain nearly 5000
animals; those at Berlin about 1900,
and the Jardin des Plantes, Paris, about
1000 animals.
