HOW THE PEOPLE PAY.

While the trusts have here and there
increased the wages of their employees
which had previously been reduced
from the 1892 scales they have in every
instance not only added several times
as much to their own profits and made
the people foot the bill, but they have
failed also to restore wages to the old
standard before what has been called
hard times reductions. The Emporia
Times has taken the trouble to obtain
from the merchants of that city the
increase in price of articles of neces-
sity as compared with the selling price
one year ago. Here are the figures it
gives:
Stoves have Increased SO per cent.
Wagons have increased from four to
five dollars.
Copper has doubled in price.
Fourteen-inch plows that sold for
$40 now sell for S14.
Ropes that sold for cents pound
now sell for 10 cents.
A common stove pipe sold for 10
cents; now it goes at 20 cents.
Bolts and rods have gone up rs per
coat.
Tin has increased from S1.50 to 50 a
box.
Cultivators have increased from SO
to S4.
Hoes, forks, rakes, shovels, spades,
and all such articles have gone up to
the consumer 45 per cent.
Nails. per keg, from 1920 to $41O.
Barbed wire, galvanized, from $2.4O
hundred pounds to $3.50.
Binder twine, which cost 7 cents a
pound, now costs from IL cents to 131s
cents
Glass has increased 40 per cent
Other articles of general use snow a
like increase in cost to the consumer.
In every instance the trust has added
enormous profits, every cent of which
must come out of the people who have
heard so much and seen so little of the
boasted Mckinley prosperity. Eft.

When the NestiIngs Come.

Nestlings grow rapidly under the
incessant and assiduous care of one
and sometimes both parents, who
bring them soft food, and the number
of insects and worms they consume is
prodiglous. Each days ration is far
more than their own weight-a thing
made possible by the exceedingly
rapid digestion which characterizes
birds. This function, as wei as res
piration, is more expeditions in young
than in old birds, and how tiny tit
mouse can keep full the ever ravenous
mouths of such Il brood as appears
in that family of nine bluetits passes
comprehension. An even more diff
cult thing to understand is how all
seem to thrive equally. Our American
titmouse's nest is an old woodpeckers
hole or some such Granny, often where
the room is so small that the young
are packed in layers, almost literally
like sardines in box; and the Euro
pean tits have quarters nearly as con-
fined at the bottom of deep, purselike
nests woven of cotton Materials

A Forget Me-Not Window Garden

Forget-me-not is easily cultivated
and is one of the prettiest plants for
window garden. 1t is half aquatic
and will grow in vases of water as
well as in pots of earth. Secure few
cuttings, root them in damp moss or
in water, then fill the vase or pot with
the young plants, which will grow
very rapidly, the Towering shoots and
branchlets bursting forth, fairy fash
ion, before one realizes that it is time
for them to appear. A shady window
is the best place for these flowers ana
they are more ornamental than the
daintiest Dresden ever tinted by ar
tistic fingers. When the plants begin
to show signs of fading, fresh cuttings
may be started, or the old plants may
be pulled to pieces, and the branches
already covered with roots formed
into new plants by putting them into
fresh vase or basket Hyacinth
glasses make good forget-me-not re-
reptacles, the blue fowerets Chamber
ing over the sides of the glass in
charming fashion. The glass can be
hung in the window-an east window
preferably-and makes an enchanting
bit of swinging greenery.

Beers After n Battle,

An American, who has recently re-
turned from South Africa, where he
saw some of the fighting, from the
Boer side, tells of the impression the
manner of these fighters made upon
him. American soldiers he said would
follow fighting with singing and cheer
Ing and much talk about the details
of what they had jus+ gone through.
He recalled the repor,s of the CAM
paingning in front of Santiago. When
the Beers get through with skirmish
or a battle they seem to dismiss all
recollection of the matter. They go
about their cooking, sit down 20 mend
their clothing, read their Bibles or en-
gage in some other occupation. Their
manner indicates that fighting has
been dismissed from their minds i'm
mediately after it is over. Within half
an hour after battle the Boer soldiers
could be seen sitting about the in
trenchments, and when their conver-
sation was noted it was found TO have
nothing to do with the war. This fact
conveyed to the mind of the observer
that with fighting made such a matter
of duty or business and continued de-
void of enthusiasm the staying
quality of the Beers was likely to prove
a surprise to the world.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

meet ner, you at the wheel; don't let
her fall off,
And the Arctic sped on before the
awful gale, leaving Nat Myers and
Georgia Belts at the mercy Of the an
cry sea. The old sailor struggled on,
and ut last, with n cry of joy, he saw
the boy clutch the end of the board.
That's right, my son." he said.
"Cheerily, cheerily, lad"'
THE ship is away" said George,
sadly, as he saw the Arctic rush on be-
fore the wind.
"Never you mind, sonny" and he
passed his arm about the lad, and,
stripping off his belt, raised the boy,
so that he lay upon the board, and
then bound him to it, face down, but
in such Il position that he could raise
his head foot or more from the
board. He was swimming beside the
board, pushing it before him.
"Why don't you get on the board,
Nat?' said Georgia, uneasily.
"Never mind me-" replied Nat, I'm
all right, you see"
But, although he spoke so bravely,
he felt in AIS heart that he had made
his last voyage. The weight of his
heavy sea clothing was dragging him
down, and he knew that the board
would not bear them both.
"Ill die for him." he thought. at
may not save him, but l can do that"
He shifted his hold on the board and
moved up until his face was close TO
that of George Belts.
kiss me, lad" he said, "and if you
escape, don't forget old Nat Myers"
The boy raised his head and pressed
his lips to those of the old sailor.
Il love you, Nat" he said.
Then Nat Myers, with a smile upon
his face, fell back to his old position.
Once George spoke to him, and he an
swered. The storm had ceased, but
the waves wer running high, and an
hour passed on. Then league distant
George Belts saw the white sails of
the Arctic returning in search of those
she had lost. With glad cry the boy
turned his head to look back at Nat,
but the sea was blank. That brave
man had died in silence sooner than
bear down the frail support of the boy
he loved. And the children of George
Belts love the memory of that brave
old sailor who died for their fathers
sake.

Otis Philippine campaign is the most
humiliating military failure in the his
tory of the government, but the ad-
ministration has to stand for Otis be-
cause Otis stands for the administra-
ton.
But there are ample signs that the
country has had about all it wants OF
militarism. Military heroes are at
discount. The Republicans do not find
it wise to put a military man on the
ticket with Mckinley any more than
the Democrats will at Kansas City.
Dewey has announced that he is out Of
the presidential race and Admiral
Schley declines to be considered as a
candidate. There are too many mill
tary scandals to be investigated right
now. The Cuban scandal is not all
postal.
1t is recalled now that some six
months ago when a certain Cuban
newspaper began charging American
officials with corruption, Gen. Ludlow,
then in command at Havana, prompt
ly threw the whole staff of the news
paper into Jail and practically sup
pressed the offending paper. That
effective way of proving the purity of
the military service couldn't be i'm
proved on even in Turkey.
1t is well to note that five Of the
inspectors in the Cuban postal service
who conveniently looked the other
way when Nicely and his confederates
were stealing postal funds, have been
permitted to resign" One of them is
the man who wrote such laudatory
report of Neely's management as to
make the latter shed tears Of graft
tude as he grabbed for five Thousand
dollars more a month than he ha.
been accustomed to taking.

Each well-remembcred face.

origin of the Term "BIuestockinC,' >

The term "bluestocking" was origi-
nally used in Venice about the year
400 to designate literary classes by
colors. In Mills History of Chival-
ry" we are told that members of the
various academies We're distinguished
by the color of their stockings, blue be-
ing the prevailing color. The applico-
tion of the term to women originated
with Miss Hannah Moore's descrip-
tion of a "Bluestocking Club" in her

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
Ventilation of Sleeping Rooms.

Rooms which are to be slept in,
after having been occupied during a
whole evening, must be thoroughly
ventilated before the occupant pre-
pares for bed. Doors and windows
must be thrown open for several
minutes, the gas or lamp put out, ana
the air completely changed, no matter
how cold it may be outside. This is
the only way to obtain refreshing
sleep. On going to bed, the usual
ventilating arrangements should then
be followed, but the great point Is:
To change the air thoroughly first.

In all these elements of greatness
Bryan resembles Blaine, except in the
greater accuracy of the formers learn
ing and the profounder quality of his
mind. But where Blaine was weak,
Bryan is strong. Blaine represents
the craftsmanship of expediency, Bry-
an that of principles. In the quality
of moral courage and devotion to
ideals Bryan is ideal. Bryan has all
the substantial elements of character
which Blaine possessed and happily
for his party and his fame he has
none of those temperamental weak
nesses which injured the party and
which compromise the fame of Blaine.
