Loved All Animals.

Charles Kingsley seemed to have
loved every living creature around him,
and he taught his children to respect
even the most loathsome insects, Mrs.
Kingsley tells how family of runaway
1oads made their home in a hole Of
green bank at Eversley, and the sythe
was never allowed to approach their re-
treat. He had two little friends in a
pair of sand wasps, which lived in a
crack of the window in his drawing
roo1n,. one of which he had saved from
drowning in basin of water, and every
spring he would look out eagerly for
them or their young, which came out of
or returned to the same crack. He pet
ted the white stable cat and the black
house cat, and sat up with d sick dog
during the last two nights of it's suffer-
ing life. Wherever he went he was fol-
lowed about the parish by his faithful
little Dandy Dinmont, whose intelligent
face was always to be seen at the lec-
lures and school lessons. and was
known to every cottager in the place.
being almost as much esteemed by
them as the Kingsley children, whose
attached friend he was for ten years.

Bits of Feminiufty.

The heads of small fur animals,
mounted for hat pins, are charming
adjunct to the fur-trimmed turban.
Ostrich feather fans are again much
affected of fashion.
The new pliable silk-back velvets are
tucked, quilted, killed, accordion
plated and machine stitched exactly
like silk OF, wool fabrics.
Fine kid-finished cloths in ivory
white, opal gray, turquoise blue and
old rose are, in marked favor for
''dressy" frocks.
Great numbers of black tulle
blouses, beautifully embroidered in
jet, are seen. One of these, slightly
cut out at the neck, is worn with
long, transparent sleeves of white lace.
which are circled with bands of black
velvet ribbon, fastened with tiny steel
buckles.-Detroit Free Press.

dates to make any speeches nor to
write any letters. Zachary Taylor was
required to be as solitary as an oyster
and as silent as a clam. Only one let
ter was promulgated over his sigma
ture, and that was prepared for him by
Thurlow Weed, Willard Fillmore and
William H. Seward. Franklin Pierce
was kept in retirement, although he
had long been known as an orator Of
magnetic presence. His campaign
managers feared that he might commit
some fatal error in public utterance.
When Abraham Lincoln was NOM
mated in 1860 the republican managers
were perturbed lest he might commit
some error. Thurlow Weed went to
Springfield to see Lincoln and caution
him, to tell him to remain absolutely
quiet and say nothing about politics
even to his neighbors. After half an
hours conversation with Mr.. Lincoln
the great New York politician told him
the object of his visit, but stated that
he had no advice to offer. He returned
to New York and told the politicians
that Lincoln possessed the keenest
and most subtle intellect he had ever
encountered. He said that during his
half hour conversation Mr.. Lincoln
cleverly entertained him, drew from
him all manner of information, but
never made any suggestions himself.
He said to Mr.. Seward: 'This man
Lincoln may be only country lawyer,
and may have had no great political
training, but he is wiser than all of us,

Holding His Own.

Even the latest inventions cannot do
away with all timehonored methods.
A farmer of the old school made this
very plain the other day. His wife
wanted some tacks. and he went into
the village hardware store to buy a
package. The storekeeper thought he
saw an opportunity. 'I'E tell you what
you want" said he. "You want a BIZ
cycle to ride round your farm on. It'll
save you time and money. They're
cheap now, dirt cheap at $751; The
farmer scratched his chin. ''I'd ruther
put the money into cow" he said.
'But think" replied the shopkeeper.
loosely, think how foolish you'd look
riding round town on a cow" 'Well,"
said the farmer. 81 don't know. Per-
haps shouldn't look so much more
foolish than should milkin' bicycle!"
And he bought the tacks.- Youths Conn.,

A Hard Bet to Win,

In 1895 three 1rishmen agreed to un-
dertake journey around the earth on
foot for jackpot of $150!o00. Each one
of the party deposited one-third of this
sum in the Bank of Dublin. and it was
agreed that whoever survived the trip
and returned should receive the whole
amount. In case all died Dublin hos
pital was to become the beneficiary. On
December "a, 1895, they started east
across Europe and Asia Minor to Egypt,
where they took passage for Australia.
Their wanderings through the inner
wastes of Australia proved the hardest
trials of the journey, and the severity of
this trip resulted in the death of two Of
the travellers. The third, Capt. Trevel-
yam, completed the voyage and won the
money.-N. Y. Press.

Painful Pretennion.

a young college girl recently dined
with friends who had passed brief sea
son in Germany. and on her return her
roommate asked if she, had had good
time. do you remember what Heine
said about his Uncle Solomon's din
ners?' she asked. "No." "Well, Uncle
Solomon forbade any language but Ger
man at his table. So does Mrs. Blank.
Here the resemblance begins and ends.
Heine said that footman stood behind
his uncle on one side of the table to
hand datives, while second waited on
the other to offer accusatives. Datives
and accusatives were not passed to-
night, but if they had been. no one
would have known which to take."-

and we need give ourselves no concern
about him during the canvass. If he
says anything he will say what should
be said, and he will say nothing else. ~
In 1868 the politicians had an easy
time of it with Gen. Grant, because he
was not speech maker; knew it, and
did not want to talk. He kept quiet
and allowed his military fame to speak
for him, and it spoke most eloquently
was again ''the silent man" during the
campaign, while Mr.. Greeley made a
famous tour of the country, making
speeches.
In 1876 Hayes and Tilden were con.
spicuously silent. In 1880 Garfield and
Hancock left the speech-making to
others, and the country was deluged
with political talk. In 1884 Mr.. Cleve.
land made no pretense as an orator,
while Mr.. Blaine talked necessarily
without avail. In 1883 Benjamin Har.
rison made speeches daily, and all OF
them marvelously discreet, many OF
them eloquent. Harrison was, in fact,
the only presidential candidate since
the days of Lincoln in whose discre
ton the political managers had abso-
lutte confidence. In 1896 both Bryan
and Mckinley appeared daily before
the people, and neither one of them
was guilty of an indiscretion, although
Mr.: Bryan disappointed public expecta-
ton in his first speech in New York
city, because he read a long statement
instead of giving the vast audience an
exhibition of the eloquence for which
he had become famous in the nominal
ing convention.
But, presidential candidates aside,
and without criticism or commenda-
ton of any of them, we may return
to the original proposition that all
political leaders are supremely selfish,
very few of them having at heart the
welfare of the people so much as their
own advancement and preferment in
public place. One of the older senators
this evening, after giving hints from
which the above facts were deduced,
said: 'There are three candidates for
an office in my state, and all of them
have supported me in my campaigns.
This morning spent an hour thinking
them over, and selfshly studying
which of them could do me the most
good in the future. I finally settled
the matter, decided which one would
prefer, and concluded to drop the
other two, as gently as possible, as
surfing them of my distinguished con-
sideration. That is the way we have
to do in politics."
That is the gist of it. They are all
after the Offices, because the salaries
are large, and usually larger than they
ought to be in a government econom-
ically administered. Covetousness is
the incentive to selfshness. In the
mad struggle for place the strong men,
not always the good men, achieve sue
cess. In no other vocation in life is
there q better disqualification of the
theory of the survival of the ittest, be-
cause those who are most selfish and
self-seeking, wholly disregarding the
feelings and sufferings of all others,
are they who obtain precedence.

HISTORY OF KIMBERLEY.
Location and Growth of the Famous
Diamond Town of South
Africa.

The arid and treeless wilderness
once known as Colesberg kopje-upon
which Kimberley is located, was for
merly in possession of the Griquas,
people of a mixed Dutch and Kafir or
igin, and it was not until 1867 that the
existence within it's borders of the
bollndless wealth which has since
made it famous, was suspected.
In that year, it is said, a Boer, Schalk
Van Niekirk by name, secured from y
youthful kaffir q peculiar looking
stone with which he was playing. On
becoming aware of it's commercial
value he disposed of it TO an Irishman
named O'Reilley, for E 500. Thus en-
couraged,' Van Niekirk invested 6 400
in purchasing another and larger stone
from guileless Kaffir warrior, and inn
mediately sold it at Cape Town Tor
10000.
Then the murder was out. The dia-
mond deposits became known. Advcn-
turers focked to Colcsberg by thou
sands, and two years after Van Me
kinks IDEAL" came the opening of the
mines, and the rapil building of q
city in their vicinity. The city was
named Kimberley, in honor of the then
colonial secretary.
The methods pursued AZ first in Dig
cling diamonds were :,ldc and pri1n-
tive, and the dig gers had I" contend

to excessive haste in 1nalsin:, sales.
All that is thing of .ie past, how

FATALITIES IN FACTORIES.
More Persons Killed and Injured In IT
Year Than In the Spanish
American War.

Commissioner John McMackin, of the
state bureau of labor statistics, in his
annual report of the legislature com.
pares the number of deaths and inju-
ries among the million persons employed
in the factories and shops of this state
to the number of killed and wounded in
the Spanish-American war. He points
out that 700 toilers met their death
through accidents last year and that of
the injuries sustained by 10000 work
men. 5000 of these injuries entailed
disablement for period in excess OF
three months. He contrasts this rec
ord with the casualties of the recent
war, stating that only ESQ were killed
| and 1877 wounded in battle. The COM
missioner favors the enactment of an
employers liability law.
Between 1856 and 1899 the number of
employees in 1858 establishments in
creased 56,321. In these establishments
the wages during that period increased
from Sal, 1S4.S45 in 1896 to $1G2 Gar, GAS
last year. The only branches of indus
try which do not exhibit improved
conditions in 1s9S-99, as comparejAvith
1S97-9S are the textile and building in
dustries. The decline in the textile in
dustry is confined to the wooden and
cotton factories, and does not occur in
the manufacture of silk, hosiery and
knit goods, or in any of the other tex
tiles. The reported decline in the build
ing industry is more apparent than real,
as it is simply the result of abnormally
large figures for 1s97-9s, reported by Il
single establishment.
Comparing 1899 with 1896, the indus
tries enjoying the largest growth are
clothing, public utilities ii. e., gas, cleo
trio lighting and street railways), met
ais. machinery, ETC., and leather, all of
which exhibited larger increase than
the general average.
During the first three months of 1897
virtually one-fourth of all members of
labor unions were unemployed. There
after gradual improvement. set in,
with the result that fewer members
were reported idle each quarter than in
the corresponding quarter in the pre-
ScuIiS yedI, until tue IhSt lnFee months
in 1898 and the first three in 1899. And
it was not until the second and third
quarters of 1899 that the number of
the unemployed was reduced to any,
thing like normal proportions. In the
third quarter of 1899 the proportion of
unionists continuously employed was
scarcely tenth of the proportion in the
first quarter of 1897. and was less than
half the proportion In the third quarter
of 1897.-N. Y, Sun,

A TALK WITH LINCOLN.

speeches were made to Mr.. Bryan in
that campaign, as he preferred to do
most of the talking himself.
The first notable political mis-
take in the history of our repub-
lie was made by Henry Clay, in
1914, when he wrote letter con-
tanning clause of less than a doz-
en- words that sealed his defeat. There
was probably never q more popular
politician than Henry Clay, and his
election seemed foregone conclusion.
He had been nominated with enthusi-
asm and with unanimity. His party
was splendidly disciplined, and abso-
lutely sure of success. But, unfor-
tunately, Mr.. Clay wrote letter to a
friend in Alabama, in which he made
some ill-considered allusion to the ad-
mission of Texas; and that single sen.
tence caused him to lose the cleo
toral vote of New York state, and thus
to fail of election to the presidency. It
was called the "Alabama letter." and
was used upon the hustings everywhere
with great effect to the detriment of
Mr.. Clay. Politicians of that day all
declared that nothing else could have
comprised Mr.. Clay's defeat.
Another notable mistake on the part
of candidate was made by Gen. Han
cock in September, 1884, when he wrote
letter saying: "The tariff is local,
not national, ISSUE" Although it
has since been demonstrated and ad-
mitted by politicians of both parties
that Gen. Hancock was technically cor
rect in his statement, it was taken up
at the time by the opposition and
turned into ridicule with such effect
that it insured Hancock's defeat.
For a long time after Henry Clay's
defeat the political managers would
not permit their presidential candi-

Where there are hills to climb,
And where boy can slide down like
A flash, in winter time;
Where they are drifts to tumble in
And ponds to skate upon
wish my Cousin John was me
And l was Cousin John!
I'd like to have colt to ride
And lambs m things to pet,
With apples in the cellar, and
Drink milk that's steamin' yet;
I'd like to live where could whoop
Around with all my might
And never have to be afraid
A cop would come in sight.
It's jolly sitting in the sled
When uncle drives to town,
And lets the horses walk up hill
And makes them gallop down!
It's jolly getting out behind,
Sometimes, and hanging on

You hearty freeze your feet.
