The Rosy Cross of Thibet.

Any of the British officers, now on the road to Lhasa who may happen to be Free Masons have, perhaps, just an outside chance of solving an interest ing question. For there are those who believe that the high Rosicrucian adopts, having emigrated to the east about the beginning of the seventeenth century, still inhabit the Thibetan pla- teaus to-day, and some of the myster- les of Freemasonry have been sup posed to have been acquired from the Rosicrucians. If they ever existed, the Rosicrucians were secret society possessing the art of turning baser metals into gold, and vowed them selves to gratuitous healing of the sick Skeptics, however, maintain that there never was such a society, but that it was invented as a ponderous joke by a learned seventeenth century treatise writer.-London Chronicle.

LONG LOST BIBLE FOUND.

A Bible lost on southern battle field forty years ago by northern sol dier was returned to it's owner during the Grand Army .encampment at BOs- ton last week. and two former enemies began a friendship which will last the rest of their lives, says the New York Herald. When the call for volunteers was issued Charles E. Miller, a lad of IT, enlisted from Acton. Three years later, when he was Sergeant Miller. he was wounded, and in trying to reach the rear he threw away his knapsack, which contained a Bible given him by his mother Inscribed on the fyleaf were the words, "Charles E. Miller. born in the town of Acton, Me-" Captain Alexander R. Oliver, q private in the First South Carolina volunteers, picked up the Bible several days afterwards.
 Oliver, who is now a, farmer at Marion. $. C., kept the knapsack and Bible. and made many attempts to find the owner. Last winter one of his daughters took the matter into her hands and told her father that she was going to locate its owner. She wrote to Acton, Me, and found that one of Miller's sisters was living at Roxbm.y. Miss Oliver communicated 
 tain Miller was the head of the night inspectors at the Boston custom house. Through correspondence the union captain and the confederate became acquainted and invitations to visit were sent from one to the other.
 Personal affairs, however, stood in the way, but this year Captain Oliver sent word to Captain Miller that he would be in Boston and would bring the knapsack and bible with him.
 Both set the date for Grand Army week, and on Tuesday, forty years to almost the minute after Oliver found the bible, he restored it to the owner. The scene of the presentation was in | teresting. One lone rebel, surround ed by two score union veterans, who more than generation ago were thirsting for his blood, but were now treating him with the love of broth Ter, stood up and said: "Yank, I've brought back your Bible" 'Reb," re sponded Miller, I'm much obliged" "

War correspondents are to be treated with courtesy at the coming maneuvers at Manassas. "They are to be given everything" says the New Orleans Times that is pro- vided for an officer and more. We are informed that every duly accredit- ed press representative, correspondent or photographer will be furnished with one tent, one cot, one table, one chair and one bucket" It is to be hoped they will also be allowed to see the fighting. If we remember correctly, the Japs made ample pro- vision for the correspondents and have treated them with great cour- tesy. In fact, they have so much con siderat tion for them that they will not permit them to expose themselves on the firing line.

BIC JAPANESE OYSTERS.
One of Them with an Ostrich Egg Made Full Meal for
 Mine Men.

"The strangest meal ever ate," said . sailor, according to the Washington Post, twas dfshed up to me in the Yellow sea nine years ago. This meal consisted of an ostrich egg and Japanese oyster
 There were nine of usfeIl to, and the egg and the oyster made enough for all. The egg was hard boiled. Cookie had shelled it, and 1t came on looking fine, all white and glistening, with tart yellow sauce in the bottom of the dish. We sliced it down with knife, the same as you would slice turkey. It wasn't bad "a little eggy, that's all
 The Japanese oyster was nearly two Feet long. Jap oysters, are, you know, the biggest in the world It was served raw, and when the boatswain stuck his long carvin' knife in it, 1t shiv- cred all over, and it seemed to me kind of low groan escaped 1t. It tasted fine and there was enough left for stew.''

and thoughtfully, read up on both sides, and then voice their final. il1dg- ment What the verdict will be this year no man can foretell. But with all due deference to the city voter, any intelligent analysis confirms our opin- ion that it is this uncertain propor- tion of the agricultural vote that will elect the next president. Undoubtedly majority of this uncertain element voted for Mckinley four and eight years ago. Many of them think the republican party has been drifting away from the ideals of the republic toward imperialism but can the short comings of the democratic party be so overcome in the minds of these peo- pie as to win their votes for the con- stitutionalism that Parker represents? :? This is the vital point in the present campaign. Many other factors also exist, and will be made the most of by all parties. Bach and every phase of every point will be threshed out be: fore the public between now and No vember. But what the farmer finally decides about it all will control the re suit L-
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-08-29

The agricultural vote will elect the next president, says the New England Homestead, fact that party leaders
 seem not yet to have fully grasped. Politicians would do well to study the returns of the past four presidential elections, in the light of this state ment. The present situation seems to be one that should bring out the real sentiments of the people. The ''scares'' Of one kind and another which were so influential especially on the part of the farmers in the so- called doubtful states, is the most portentious sign in the political sky, as viewed by the New England Home stead. A certain proportion of this az Ticultural vote will be republican, an. other proportion will be democratic, under whatever conditions arise, but an uncertain proportion of the agricul- tllral vote will weigh matters closely

 Talking of tariff blanks in national convention platforms the singular fact is noted that in 1856 the republi- cans had no tariff plank in their plat form and that in 1860, 1864 and 1880 the democratic national platform was without a tariff plank. Also that the republicans in their national platform in 1896 made no declaration as to the trusts.-Meriden Journal
