Looking Backward and Forward.
There are millions of citizens who
remember wildly the events of fifty
years ago, when the Republican party
was born. Trouble was in the air. A
cloud much larger than a mans hand
was growing along the horizon. Civil
strife carried to its last arbitrament
was feared, and yet the hope was gen
eral that it would be averted. The most
aggressive element was in the South,
and later generation can not realize
the cool audacity and haunting words
with which it pushed fixed purpose.
Yet the great majority of the people be-
lieved that some settlement could be
reached short OF war. The basis of the
Republican party was nationality. Its
mission was to save the union of States,
to preserve the country whose founders
certainly intended that it should be a
nation, and not a conditional arrange
ment that might resolve itself into sew
eral nations. In spite of the old charge
Of sectionalism, the Republican party
is the least sectional, the most national,
organization the country has ever
known. 1t directed the war to prevent
national division. Its policies have
been national. Only where sectional ex.
clusiveness and prejudice prevail is 1t
shut out. Let the national spirit enter

DR.. Alfred Gradenwitz In Technical
World Magazine.
"A novel device. intended to prevent
the distress, has, however, been tested
recently, with most excellent results,
On the steamship Patricia of the Ham

themselves against the dreaded sickness
should sit down on the vibrating cnair,
when they will feel about the same
sensation as in riding in an automo-
bile. The vibratory motion makes the
rolling and pitching OF the ship less

Rabbit Elude. the Lynx.

That the instinct of self-preservatipn
Is not confined to the human race IS
evident from many instances in the
experience of hunters in the north
woods. George Brown, trapper in
the Tahquamenon River country, re-
lates the fact that while seated IN his
tent one evening at dusk there was a
sudden commotion at the entrance and
in popped rabbit. Behind the rabbit,
in hot pursuit, came another animal,
which fairly shot down the snow in
cline into the tent. This animal proved
TO be a lynx.
For a moment 1t did not dawn upon
the lynx that it had been caught in a
snare, and then 1t jumped to the oppo-
site side of the tent and began to claw
the canvas and snarl. BY this time the
trapper had grabbed club and was on
his feet The fight that followed WIS
lively, and how he managed TO dodge
the lynx and also hit it in the semi
darkness is, he says, a mystery. but IL
was not long before the lynx was
stretched out lifeless. The hunter cane
out of the encounter with few
scratches and in the meantime the raD-
bit escaped.-St. Paul Dispatch.

ton, ii was done-the bedrock which
was revealed In the American Congress
of common-sense craftsmanship.
The two leading measures Of the ses-
sion were brought before Congress in
spectacular ways which might well
have provoked revolt.
The railway rate bill came as de-
mand for more and even revolutionary
laws on the heels Of manifest refusal
to enforce existing laws of the same
kind against fragrant offender.
The meat inspection bill came as a
part OF an avowedly destructive cam
paign against great national indus
try.
Yet first the Senate and then the
House refused to fall into either cyni-
cal Indifference or justifiable though
impotent rage because of the methods
by which these measures were brought
forward.
First one and then the other was
considered with respect to the actual
evils to be cured and their pactical
remedies, and without regard to the
extravagances of their presentation. In
this way verdicts of practical states,

The test is now in constant use with
all advanced dairymen. They use it

the cream from the milk of each cow
to determine her true value for dairy
purposes, and the manufacturer of
dairy products CROPPED largely in the
dark as regarded the milk and cream
he handled, and guessed at the losses
in by-products. The physicist supplied
the lactometer for determining the spe-
cific gravity OF milk. and this acted as
companion to the test to enable the
dairyman TO readily determine the

A Bit of History.

The proposition of Congressman Da-
wilson to have hearings on the tariff to
test public sentiment and encourage
action is SO old subterfuge as to be
quite threadbare. 1t was tried in Pres
ident Arthur's day, and a tariff COM
mission that wanted to uphold high
protection was forced to recommend
substantial reductions, and Arthur adj
vocated REDUCTIONS. He was punished
by being beaten for the nomination, and
the Mckinley and Dingley tariff bills,
since passed, have each put the tariff
up higher. Every Republican In Wash
ington knows these facts, but most of
them, like Mr. Davidson, prefer not to
understand them.-Milwaukee Journal

EGYPT AS A FIELD OF TRADE.
Foreign Capital Slowly Invading
Bible Land with Good Results.

Bible Land with Good Results.
Egypt, the ancient land of Biblical
story, is just now offering to the world
of trade field for exploitation which
presents many favorable features for
the exporters of other nations. In
many things she is no less conserva-
tive to-day than she was in the days
when Jacob had to send his sons to
her to buy corn during famine in
Palestine. IF you want my produce, y
says the modern Egyptian, come here
and purchase it; if you want me to
buy yours bring ii TO my house and L
will examine it," He buys and sells
ON the old conservative lines, but to the
energetic exporter he gives promise of
becoming an important trade factor if
he is approached in the proper way
and worked skillfully.
Egypt always has been and still is a
purely agricultural country Her pro-
duce is required by all other countries
and the Egyptian cultivator is well
aware of that fact Just as in the
ancient days under the guidance of
Joseph he made the first corner in the
worlds corn, so at the present time
he makes a corner on his own indi-
vidual account. At the present time
the Egyptian cotton raiser is literally
sitting upon his bales and holding out
for higher prices. He can afford to
wait. but the intending purchaser can
not and the Egyptian knows it.
Foreign capital has been slow In max
ing an invasion of Egypt, but now 1t
is there in large quantities, and under
its influence trade is advancing in
bounding leaps. Before the British oc-
cupation there were, exclusive of the
Suez Canal Company and two banks
not primarily established in Egypt, only
twelve companies in which foreign cap
ital was invested. Their combined cap
ital cannot be ascertained, but it was
not extremely large. From 1882 to
1887 nine commercial companies, with
combined capital of S5,0O0,0O0, were
formed. Between 1899 and 1891 three
more were fioated, with a combined
capital of 100000. and in the next
four years the number was swelled to
thirteen new companies with total
capital of S30,OO0.0OO After the battle
of Atbara in 1898 foreign capital began
