Sow Ten commandments.

Some modern philosopher has
though, up ten new commandments
which are rather good:
L.. Never put off tall tomorrow
what you can do today.
?. Never trouble another fol
aat you can do yourself.
~ Never spend your money
before you make IT,
4. Never buy what you do not
want because il is cheap j, will be
dear to you.
s. Pride costs US more thar
hunger, thirst aud cold.
8. We never repent Of having
eaten too little.
2. Nothing is troublesome tina.
we DO willingly.
3. How much pain have cost u.
the evils that have never happened
9. Take things always 10y thel
smooth handles.
10. When angry count ten be
fore you speak ~ very angry, eoun
one hundred.

We do not believe in the Demo-
cratic theory of government as APP
Piled TO our state or national affairs,
nor do we have any faith in the ul-
innate good practical results that
cur Democratic friends claim for
their theory. The civil war thor
oughly convinced us that they were
wrong, both in theory and practice.
This however does not prevent Us
from believing that many honest
men advocate very wrong theories
and promise results that can never
be realized. For instance, the rep
r~esentatiye from Bates county and
the senator from our roth senatorial
district, have not so much as the
smell OF boodlng upon their gar
ments, and yet they SAT in one OF
the most corrupt and most Demo
cratic legislatures that ever assem-
blsd at our state capitol. Our ma
ton was run upon the Democratic
theory for fifty years before the civil
wal and we all know the result as
q matter Of common history.
This state has NOW been run an
drrthe Democratic theory Tor more
than thirty years and the resuls il
being brought out before o than
one grand jury, as the most eoTrupl
and venal failure ever witnessed in
any state in the Union. We're j
not for the safety valve OF the bal
lot, the beneticent influence OF the
national government, and the pa
thence Of a forbearing people, th'
state would be reyolutionized e
suddenly and so thoroughly tina
Democracy wouldn't be able t
show it's head for half a century.

Ex-senator Lyons Of Kansas
City, who, in a special TO the St.
Louis Republic said che was glad
10 have an opportunity to tell all
he knew about the alum bill, was
before the ST. Louis grand jury
Tuesday. This rs the way be
gladly told all he knew about
boodling when he was asked the
following questions and gave the
following answers
ssWas the sum OF $500, or any
other sum, offered or paid you by
any person in connection with a
bill relating 10 the coal oil inspect
ors ONCE in 81. Louis for your
vote or influence a.
Al refuse to answer, on stat
uiory grounds that il might mcEim-
mate me.
Q.-Dndy you receive any sum Of
money on any other bills for your
vo.e or. Influence as a legislator
Al refuse 10 answer that ques-
lion on The same grounds.
Q-Did you get $1,000, or any
other sum. for your vote Or inhu-
ence 10 ecnnecu0n with the ST.
Leais county excise billl
Al refuse 20 answer on the
ground that il might incriminate
me.
This all indicates that he was
connected with more than one
boodling scheme that he dida't
care 10 tell about.

Bellows of $500 Years AGO.

DR.. Johnson says, respecting the
word bellows, perhaps it is corrupt
ed from bellies, the wind being con-
tanned in the hollow or belly. 1t has
no singular, for we usually say, pair
of bellows, but Dryden has used bel
lows as a singular"
Strabo informs us, from an old his
torian, that Anacharsis, the Scythian
philosopher, who lived in the time OF
Scion, about 900 years before Christ,
invented the bellows, as well as the
anchor and potter's wheel, but this &C
count is very doubtful as Pliny, Sen
eca, Diogenes, ETC., who likewise
speak of the inventions ascribed to
that philosopher, mention only the
two last, and not the bellows.
1t appears, however, that they were
known in ancient times to the Greeks,
and Virgil mentions them in his fourth
Georgic.-Mirror.

Difficult Writing.

II is easy to write with the hand.
and after considerable practice one
can learn to write a few letters or
numbers with the foot. Try, how
ever. to write two or three letters with
the foot and hand simultaneously, and
you will find it extremely difficult.
Yet, if you practice long enough you
can in time learn to do it. Here is
feat which, according to those who
have tried it, is practically impos-
sible. though few admit that it may
be accomplished by persons OF extra
ordinary patience. 1t also consists in
writing a few letters or numbers with
the hand and foot, but in this case the
letters are to be written in the normal
direction by the hand and in the op.
posite direction or backward by the
foot, and it is precisely herein that
the great difficulty lies. Those who
desire to try this experiment need not
use either pen or pencil. Just let
them draw letters of large size on
two sheets of paper and then see if
they can move hand and foot over the
lines simultaneously, but in opposite
directions.

and therefore it was only natural that
these pious Brazilian noblemen SHOULD
have selected it as the most suitable
emblem of our Lord when they de-
sired to pay honor to Him. They were
resolved that He should thenceforth
be officially recognized as one OF the
grandees of Brazil, and He would not
have been eligible for this exalted 20

cnRIsT's COAT OF ARMS.
Noble Insignia Accorded Him by ArIs-
tocrats of Brazil.

Wishing to show Him the utmost
possible honor, some Of the great noble
men Of Brazil formally decided to ad-
NIT Jesus Christ as member OF their
knightly order, and consequently they
awarded to Him the coat of arms
which is shown in she accompanying
picture. Conspicuous in 1t is a black
cross, which is mounted on three green
bills, In a field of gold, and which Is
covered with double crown Of stars
and thorns.
For centuries cross has been used
on the crests of distinguished families
