Primitive savings banks We're found

by Daniel Defoe in 1901 Francis Mas

the ratepayers of any English parish

The Rev. J. Smith of Andover. with

small sums from his parishioners dur
ing the summer, to be returned with a
one third bounty at Christmas. a lib

PROLIFIC INSECTS.

The Termites. or White Ants, Are
the Greatest Egg Layers.
There is infinite variety in the num-
Der of eggs laid by different animals.
the general rule being that those high

Among vertebrates fish are the most
prolific Trout and salmon average
1000 eggs to every pound of weight.
Buckland reckoned the roe of a half
pound herring at 19.S40. of an eight
pound turbo at 3Ss. 600 and of a thirty
pound cod at 5.000,0OO. While the stur-
geon has more than Il third Of its

Mollusks vary in their powers of re-

pendous numbers appear, reaching a
climax in the termiteS. or white ants.

Messages of War.

Among the natives of Australia
notched and carved sticks are used for
messages. For instance. piece Of

The North American Indians utilized

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTS.
They Receive Abuse of Dem ocrats and
Support Of the People.

According to the Democrats, the Re
publican Presidents, every one OF them,
have been bad lot, personally and po-
/ liticaly. Each and all of them were
declared to be running the country; but
when the day OF reckoning came. and tho
verdict of the people was handed in on
their ballots, judgment was given-save
in two cases in forty-four years-for the
Republicans. Impartial history acquits
every Republican President of criminal
intents and acts. In doing his duty to
the people Mr.. Lincoln became mar
tyr. No ruler was ever more vilifed and
denounced. His body in life, his spirit
ia death, represent the dividing line be-
tween loyalty and disloyaity, between the
cohesion Of the States or their disinte-
grafton. When Democrat, be he leader
or follower. writes or talks of the Re
publican party as a nation-destroyer
through its measures or its Presidents, 1t
is because he does not know or does not
care to remember that Buchanan. who,
MS Democrat, shaped the course OF his
administration so that the advocates of
secession might have a quick and easy
victory; it was this Democratic President
who left to his Republican successor and
the loyal people he had been chosen to
govern, an empty treasury, a corporars
guard OF an army, wreck OF a navy,
dismantled fortresses, and legions OF Of
ficeholders ulcerated with a disloyahy
that the stern lessons of war and years
OF Christian peace have not entirely Grad
icatcd. And before Buchanan were Dem
ocratic administrations whose acts were
seemingly studied preludes to his crime.
The lineage Of the Democratic party is a
record OF broken pledges conceived in po-
litical iniquities and strang,. I'd ut their
birth. 1t is the Democratic party to
which the people owe four years of civil
war and eight years of such misgovern-
ment that the rich became poor and the
poor starved.
1t has been the province of the Re
publican party to undo the work OF its
opponents; it has again and again saved
the nation from degenerating to a low
grade in nationalities. and 1t has enforced
respect throughout the world for coun-
try which the Democrats had brought in
to contempt
or course the Democrats assail Repub-
lican Presidents and their nominees for
the place OF Chief Executive; they do
this more by jnnuendo than by direct ac-
cusation--a stabbing in the dark rather
than n fight in the sunlight But there
is always this in favor OF the Republican
party's Presidents from the time they
begin TO make history for the nation
that for their support in the ordeal of
public criticism they have had the Con-
stitntion OF the Union, its Congresses,
and the voice of the people.

More than 81 Per Cent In Twelve
Year Period.

The Democratic campaign writer's and
speakers are making use OF highly dan
gerous material when they use figures to
show the large increase in government
expenditures under Republican admins
traion. Alton Il. Parker said 70 the
Democratic editors at Roscmount:
During Mr.. Cieveiand's first term the av-
erage annual expenditure was about $780,
100000. For the Inst three years Il has
been about S.,1a.Voo.Ooo The governmental
expenditure last year mounted up to $751;
since the civil war, with the exception OF
the year of the Spanish war.
Why did Mr.. Parker use the figures
merely OF Cleveland's FIRST term7 Why
did he not make use of the figures for
President Cleveland's second term? Had
these entered into the comparison Il
would have been shown that expenditures
gnined with the same proportional rapid

can tfmes-and in some directions, Hike

licnns. were forced 10 fellow the rapid

1t is now generally known that in the
Philippines there are many varieties of
