Gutta Percha Getting Scarce.

Counsel Atwell of Roubaix writes that
the scientists in France are now engaged
upon the problem of acclimatizing The
Isonandra gutta, the tree which produces
gutta.percha, indispensable to the con
strucfion of submarine cables 1t seems
that no other product known at present
replaces the gutta-percha found in the
forests of the Malay peninsula and in
certain districts in Malacca. inferior
qualities have not the requisite durability
for submarine use. The plantation in
the aforementioned districts have been
so ruinously exploited by the natives,
who uproot full-grown trees and cut
young plants before they come to ma
turity, that it is feared there will be a
shortage in the supply of this quality of
gutta-percha in the course of fifteen
years, unless means are taken to pro-
tect the forests or to propagate the
plants elsewhere.

Capt. BORardus Has a Dangerous Ex-
perience, but Comes Ont Unhurt.
Ferris Wheel Park, Chicago, Nov. 4.
Capt. A. Fl. Bogardus, the champion
wing shot of the world, has spent the
summer here. His shooting school has
been one of the features of the Park
during the season. He has given many
exhibitions and his skill with the rifle
is superb.
The Captain tells of very close call
he once had when living at Elkhart.
Ill. He had been a sufferer from Kid
ney disease for several years, and 1t
rapidly developed into Bright's Disease.
All his friends told him that this was
lncurable, and that he would never get
better.
To say that he was alarmed is to put
1t very mildly. This plucky man had
faced many dangers, and it made him
sick at heart to think that at last he
was to be conquered by such cruel
foe
At last he heard of a medicine that
had cured many such cases-Dodd's
Kidney Pills. He used them and was
completely restored to good health.
He says: Il attribute my present
good health TO Dodd's Kidney Pills and
to nothing else"

CORPORATIONS IN POLITICS.
They Would Not Interfere if Lee.
Alone by the Bosses.

The danger Of the eorrupting Influences
OF corporations upon government does not
lie IN the interests of the corporations,
but it is due to the corrupt character of
our political methods, which have been
developed under the conditions of small
corporations and have become wholly I'M
necessary to large ones. The remedy is
not to lessen the size of corporations. bat
to purify the machinery of cur politics.
Take from the boss the power to black
mail the corporation and the corporation
will gladly disappear from politics. De
prive the boss Of the power to deliver
legislation and the corporation will cease
70 pay him for political protection.
The safety of our government is not in
eliminat ting the corporation, but in elm
mating the boss from our politics, and
the cure for this is to deprive the boss of
his control over the primaries by estab-
fishing direct nominations by the people.
SO long as the boss can dictate the nomi-
nations and control political appointments
and patronage, he can blackmail corpora
tons, and SO long as corporations are
blackmailed into paying for political inn
munity they will naturally tend to aspire
to control tie government by the same
means, because control of the govern
ment becomes their only safety from at
tack-Gunton' Magazine

WHAT ORDINATIONS COST.
The Butchers and Grocer's Bills Are
Important Items.

The Butchers and Grocer's Bills Are
Important Items.
Consideration by which King Edward
is swayed is that Of economy. In this
respect, however, the precedent of
George ". is more likely to be followed
than that Of Victoria, for the following
reason. When George III. passed away
the people had experienced no coronation
solemnities for more than sixty years,
and it was, perhaps eXcusably, felt that
the occasion called for some larger dis
play than when that long-iyed monarch
came to the throne The sum, according
ly, which the chancellor of the eXchequer
of the day fixed in his own mind as a
working maximum was 100000. When
the bill came to be presented 1t was dis
covered that the total expenditure Fan
to E23S00O.
Now. when Victoria was crowned it
is to be remembered that there na<
coronation only seven years before, and
another barely ten years before that, so
that most men of middle age had already
TASTED the sweets ana Dorne the expense
of two great festivals of pageantry. 1t
is not 10 he wondered at, therefore, that
when the Duchess of Kent came to dis
cuss matters with her daughters mill
listers Of state it was felt that sheer Law
the consequence was that the whole cost
was brought well within the estimate.
The cost of arranging the abbey ran
into 100000. The lord chamberlain's de-
partment absorbed $4,000 the master of
the horse and the mistress of the robes
got E13000 between them, the earl mar
shall and the heralds put in a bill for
1880. the cost Of the commemorative
medals was E5000. and $500 was spent
on fireworks Examinations and free the
alters. The lot came to E69,421.
Now, one reason why the coronation of
George ". cost so much more, and, in
decd surpassed expenditure upon any
event of the kind before or since, was be-
cause there was banquet provided for
about 200O hungry and thirsty souls who
had eaten nothing all day because Of
their duties in the abbey. 1t was a royal
feed. The turtle alone filled eighty tn
reens, the turbot lay upon the same NUM-
Der of dishes, and there were eighty
dishes also of salmon and trout.
The butchers and game bill came to a
total, as the following tooth
some details will show: Beef, 74l2
pounds; veal. 1898 pounds; mutton, 20
Ara pounds: lamb, 20 quarters, 20 legs,
and five saddles: 30 quarters of grass

GAME A NATIONAL QUESTION.
Preservation Difficult Because State
Laws Conflict.

Laws Conflict.
The interdependence of states in the
matter of game laws may be illustrated
by one or two examples. The new Eng
land states, without exception, protect
the robin. but their efforts can never pro-
duce the best results so long as the bird
is treated as game during its winter So
Journ in the South and killed for market.
Eastern cities now obtain their supplies
OF quail, prairie chickens and other game
very largely from the distant states in
the West. Nebraska finds that her quail
are being rapidly killed off TO supply the
markets Of Philadelphia and other East
ern cities, and, for her own protection,
prohibits the shipment of birds from the
state, while Pennsylvania, finding her
supply Of quail entirely inadequate to
meet the local demand, declares that
birds taken within the state shall NOT be
sold at any time.
The Philadelphia game dealers contend
that this law cannot restrict sales OF
game brought in from other states, ayl
accordingly supply their customers, in
season and out, with imported quail kept
in cold storage. High prices stimulate
their agents in Nebraska to evade the
shipping law. and their country CORE
spondents in Pennsylvania 20 ignore the
local law; and the native birds when
placed on sale cannot be distinguished
from those imported. Game preservation
in Pennsylvania thus becomes doubly diff
hcult. Under the operation of non-export
laws the supply of quail from the West
is diminished, prices naturally rise, and a
premium is placed on the destruction of
native birds. Unless the state can en-
force the law with respect to imported
game she cannot effectually protect her
own birds--Leslie's Weekly.
