The young man had taken off his coat
and hung his hat carefully on the hall
rack. Coming into the parlor, he went
to the fire and held his hands out to
warm them. The girl waited for him to
speak, but it was evident that he was a
bashful young man and knew not how
to begin the conversation. Finally he
said:
SIT was very, very cold last night |
staid at home and Rugged the stove all
the evening"
The girl turned her great brown eyes
toward him and said, with just tinge of
art in her voice:
81 don't see any use in hugging a
stove"
1t didn't require house to fall on the
young man, even If he was bashful, and
he promptly resolved not to hug any
more stoves.-Baltimore News.

Moses j. Bartlett, 55, of Orange. who
fell from scaffold several weeks ago,
fracturing his spine, was operated on at
the county hospital at Greenfield Saturday
by Dr. j. c OBrien. assisted by DR. Fyfe
The case has attracted some attention, as
it was reported on the authority of infor-
nation gained in Orange that the mans
backbone was not broken. His lower ex-
tremites were paralyzed so that he had no
use of them. The portion of the spine that
pressed against the spinal cord was re-
moved. He stood the operation well.

Chinese Amulets.
from the Inndnn Mail

II is the desire of every Chinaman's heart
to possess a pair of magic bracelets. Arm
rings or bracelets are thought great deal
of in the celestial empire, the custom of
wearing them having been handed down
from time immemorial Usually made of
jade stone, the Chinese arm ring of TODAY
* one of invariable shape. 1t looks like a
large martingale.
The Chinese word for jade is ngook-seu,
and for jade arm ring or bracelet ngook-
ak. The custom in China is to place the
bracelet on a young mans arm just before
the hand stops growing. A tight fit is
usually secured, and once placed the ANU
let arm ring is worn throughout life AT
death, If the bracelet has proved a lucky
one and if there is q son whom IL will fit,
the bones in the old mans hand are broken
and the bracelet removed
Many are the marvellous tales told by the
Chinese of the wonderful qualities these
amulets possess. There is n tradition tina
a certain Chinese emperor. who was strick-
en- with paralysis, wore upon his forearm a
magic bracelet which kept life in that
member for many months, and allowed him
to make known his desires and DEGREES by
writing. At last. when death claimed the
emperor, something even more wonderful
took place. Dead three days and lying in
state, his body was being viewed by the
priests The ACCESSIBILITY of removing the
hand was lifted up and gave a signal which
they interpreted to mean the bracelet
should go with its owner to the tomb
Among other wonderful properties good
amulet is said to act as a fairly reliable
barometer.

ONE BRIGHT RAY.
The Cause II the People Has
Chance Against That OF =
Special Glass.

1t is declared by Mr.. Bryan that the
senate of the United States is not def
initely lost to the people, and that if
he should be elected in November with
GA0 almost certain democratic gains,
the free silver force in. the senate
would certainly be considerable and
in the end decisive. The st. Louis
GlObe-Democrat, a rabid gold standard
organ, comedies this much, and that
Mr.. Bryan's election will be a serious
breach in the gold standard intrench-
mcnts and would give prestige to
further efforts to break them down
completely. The majority against sil-
yer in the existing senate is not over
seven. Of the 80 senators whose
terms expire March 8 next, II r re-
p~ublicans, including one each from
Kansas, Montana, West Virginia, Ore
gon, Idaho, Nebraska, Wyoming and
Colorado. Two gold democrats go out
at the same time. The democrats are
likely to fill two of the three vacancies,
those in Delaware and Utah, and Bry-
ans election will bring in a democratic
vice president, who would vote in case
of a tie. Thus far the st. Louis Globe
Democrat.
Still further extending the idea, the
people of the western states have
reached the conclusion that they are
misrepresented in the senate. Colora-
do, Wyoming, Kansas, Montana, Ida
no and Nebraska are represented by
six senators, who were elected on the
pretense Of being bimetallists and who
voted for the single gold standard, the
placing of paper money In the hands
of the banks and the creation Of q
bank trust controlling all the business
Of the country. There is no question
that the people of each and every one
Of these six states are absolutely OPP
posed to the things for which their
six senator's voted, and the evidence Is
accommodating that they are taking ex-
ceedingly great care not to permit any
of the six to further misrepresent them
after next March. The change of these
six states alone will cut the gold ma:
jority in the senate in two, without
taking into account gains that may be
made in other parts of the country.
Kentucky has already elected a silver
man to succeed Lindsay. In Louis
lana Caffrey has been defeated over
whelmingly in the primaries by a sill
yer man. The review of the whole
situation will therefore appear to be
one of great hope to the democracy
and to the cause Of the people, and
that the election Of Mr.. Bryan will
not be, as has been so often alleged, a
useless expenditure Of votes and the
placing of a helpless incumbent in the
presidential chair. Success. however,
can only be attained by constant Gf-
forts to abide by unity of purpose.
There never has been a time in the
history of the country when the lines
have been so clearly defined between
the cause of the people and that Of a
special class.

OppOsItion to ship Subsidy.
The democratic minority Of the
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries has presented to the house
q report in opposition to the ship
subsidy bill. 1t is a splendid docu-
ment. They point out that not only
is foreign trade steadily increas-
ing but that every shipyard in the
country is in full operation without
the aid Of the subsidy and that there
fore the subsidy is unnecessary. Only
about five per cent. of the total ton
mage Of the world is not subsidized,
and it is a hopeless task to lower
freight rates by such a subsidy bill
as is proposed when nine-tenths of
that subsidy win go to passenger and
mail steamers. The unfortunate his
tary of American ship subsidies is
quotSd to show the fallacy Of the
scheme and attention is called to
the feet that no assistance whatever
would be given to the navy by these
subsidized vessels except on exactly
the same terms that they can be
bought now, by paying the ship own
ers exactly what they demand for the
ships, far in excess Of their actual
worth.
