An odd Nest.

A correspondent of Casselrs Maya
zine records Il curious freak on the
part of some wasps in Gloucester, Eng
land.
The wasps were noticed going in and
out of a lock which secured a work
shop door. The owner of the shop had
the lock removed to satisfy his curiosi-
ty about the doings of the busy work
ers. He found nest inside. The cells
were made of mud and were full Of
Larvae. There were several dead wasps
inside the lock.
AS the lock was in almost daily use
the wasps could not have had very
peaceful home.

any eminent departure from it, under
any circumstances, lies under the sus-

the development, training and disci-

The professor advertises to take colts
of every breed, including Shires, Clydes-
dales, Percherons, Standard bred, and
make them trot, all in the same time,
one mile, two miles or three miles.
This horse system of education, the
professor declares, is modelled after our
remarkable public school system, in
which five, six, ten and fifteen year old
human beings, of various strains Of abil-
ity and blood and of infinitely varying
capabilities for study and the acquisition
OF knowledge, are made to trot mentally
in the same class and make the same
speed intellectually. When all the colts
trained by this modern educator of the
horse, trot in two-twenty, all of the pu-
pills of the public schools will acquire
learning with equal certainty and
celebrity. Equality is thus made by law.
But speed of mind and body are in

The republicans of the country are
organized into large machine for
making and getting offices, and the
whole aim and object Of the managers
and operators of this machine is to bet
ter their own political and financial af-
fairs without regard to the general well
fare. The recent appeal of Foraker to
an Ohio convention of place and plum
der hunters illustrates the low grade of
intelligence to which the craftsmanship,
of which he is luminous type, ad-
dresses itself. In that speech Mr.. Fora
ker ignores facts in finance and history
of the country, and utters absolute
falsehoods as truths. He knows, and
all decent, thoughtful citizens admit,
that the statements made in that har-
rangue, as to the causes of the panic of
1898, are lies.
Primarily the cause of that financial
cyclone was the Bland Allison act of
1878. It was an

1t was a disastrous failure. 1t did
not, by the coinage Of silver at the rate
of four millions of dollars a month,

On the contrary, it declined daily. Then

came the next make-shift, the so-called
Sherman act, also republican measure.
By the operation of this law the govern
ment became a silver junk-shop. It re-
ceived silver bullion up to about four
million ounces month, and paid for it
at the market price in treasury notes.
1t issued warehouse receipts for pig sill
yer to circulate as money. The two
acts named-the Bland Allison act and
the Sherman act-put SO much bad
currency afloat that good money, under
the inexorable operation of the Gresham
law, fled the country.

hundred and four hundred mil

The talk of the time was upon the
question "what shall we do with our
surplus money in the national treas

In March, 1889, the Harrison admins
tration began a solution of that prob
lem. In four
Harrison. years the sur

appeared. In it's stead deficiency
and vacuum had materialized. The en-
tire accumulation under four years of
Mr.. Cleveland had vanished; and
this, too, under the benign rigor, in
stopping profitable trade, of the Nc
Kinley tariff. These facts are not over
thrown by the vaporings of Fire-Alarm

THE FLIGHT OLE DUCKS

On Christmas day William A. Eddy,
the kite expert, at Bayonne, n. j..
measured by means of his kite the altl-
tude of the thousands of wild ducks
which were flying southwark along the
coast. The average height of the fly
ing ducks was found to be 1,50o feet.
They passed across the cross-wire
space of Mr.. Eddy's kites in about
three seconds. This time was taken
repeatedly and twenty observations
confirmed the speed Travelled. 1t was
found that the ducks were travelling
very nearly Az miles an hour.
Although the kites We're put up but
500 feet, the ducks appeared to be
afraid of them and repeatedly great
focks steered off to one side or the
other as they approached the point
where the kites We're.
Mr.. Eddy had aloft two nine-foot and
two seven-foot kites. On December 20
Mr.. Eddy by means of his kites found
that the cirrus clouds were travelling at
the rate of 173 miles an hour. which is
the highest velocity yet recorded here.
