The Democrat,

He shifts the battle from afar,
The old time Democrat,
Upon his breast is many a scar,
He never thinks of that;
But where the fight is fought and
won,
He speeds him to the fore,
As all true Democrats have done
These hundred years or more.
It stirs the soul to know the truth
And Glory Of his creed;
That from the country's earliest
youth,
He crones Of freedoms breed;
And now, against an Empires might,
It's plots of shame and sin,
He arms for the republics fight,
In freedomls name to win!

INCANDESCENT BULBS.
Often Their Heat Has Been Known to
Burn Articles Touching Them.


Burn Articles Touching Them.
Many people are apt to think, be-
cause an incaDdescent lamp is in
closed in a glass bulb, and its mean
descent flament cannot, therefore,
come into contact with anything in
dammable, that the bulb can be used
under all conditions and in contact
with all kinds of materials with but
little danger.
That this is a mistake has been
proved by several fires in shop win
dowswhere the hanging incandescentS
have been allowed to touch lace or
other more or less filmy materials
with which the window was draped.
Testimony on this subject can also
be given by a rash youth who, during
the zero weather of last winter, went
to sleep with burning incandescent
lamp wrapped in a handkerchief at his
feet. An hour afterward his slumbers
were rudely broken by a sensation of
extreme discomfort at the tips of his
toes; the room was full of smoke, and
the smoldering bedclothes were on
the point of bursting into flame.
But the record in the demonstra-
tion of what heat an incandescent
lamp is capable of throwing out is
broken in a photograph lately pub
lished of a wooden partition through
which a large hole had been bored
simply by the pressure upon it lateral
ly of'an incandescent lamp.
Some mechanics who were at work
in the room wanted the light closer,
and twisted the flexible cord around
A nail in a freshly finished wooden
partition. The lamp, with its bulb
resting on the wall, was left burning
when the workmen left at five p. m.
When they came back to work at
seven o'clock next morning the lamp
had burned a hole larger than itself
through the wainscoting, and was
hanging clear Of contact with the
charred wood, which, says the Lon
don Express, had, fortunately, burned
itself out.

The Great Circus Day.

In almost every home and hamlet
the announcement of the coming at
Madisonville, on Saturday, Sept. p
Of the Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers union of big shows will
be greeted as. tldlngs of great joy.
Aside from its national reputation
it presents very strong special
proof to support its claim of being
the.only big show in America to-day.
Since the Barnum 81 Bailey show
went to Europe 1t is the only mena-
gerie, circus and hippodrome that
has exhibited in New York city
and the general metropolitan yer
dict, recorded by immense audi
ences for two seasons at Madison
Square Garden, and in the press,
seems to be that it has eclipsed its
great and popular predecessor. The
World echoes the drift of public
opinion in pronouncing it "the
biggest circus that New York has
ever seen, " and what held good
there will doubtless be maintained
in the country at large, as the same
attractions, whether on four legs or
two, on the earth or in the air, or
the earth or in the air, or water
and all of them-wlll be as effective
ly presented wherever the biggest
tents on earth are pitched. From
start to finish, from the magnificent
street parade to the last of the hip
podrome races, the exhibition is at
once a colossus and a corker. There
are acres and acres of instruction,
elation, fun and wonder. Hours
may be proftably and pleasantly
passed in inspecting the largest
and finest collection of rarest wild
beasts and birds. When 1t comes
to the circus and hippodrome per-
formances there appears to be no
limit to the thrills and tickles.
Hundreds of distinguished artists
and admirably trained animals par
ticipate in a hundred acts. Even
the very air is alive with wizard
bicyclists, flying spirttes and trapeze
heroes and beroines, while in the
three rings below appear the nine
teen finest male and female bare
back riders of both Europe and
America. Intermingling with all
this and filling the very air with
laughing gas are clowns of all
kinds and countries to the number
of twenty-five, whose music, mirth
and infinitely humorous hits and
skits at current fads and fashiona-
BILE follies make tens of thousands
hold their sides and hilariously
howl. AS for the rest; well, you'll
have to read the bills.
