HEARD IN PASSING.

Since Colonel Bryan has declared
 his willingness to be it once more, IL
 is harder than ever to define what a
 democrat is.-Norwich Bulletin.
 A number of men in Alexandria,
 Va, have formed pallbearers'
 union. This is the most novel thing
 in the way of organized labor which
 has yet come to light.
 Science informs us that "a bee | must take the nectar from 6O,0O0
 flowers to make one pound of honey
 This means 2,750,000 trips from the
 hive to the flowers" Considering
 the price of honey, bee labor is too cheap.-Providence Bulletin. A Russian official convicted of cheating starving peasants out of the famine relief supplies has been sentenced to be dismissed from of flee. Such barbarOus punishment could never be meted out under an enlightened constitutional govern ment.-Philadelphia North Ameri- can.
 The report of the committee in charge of the recent Elks' conven- tion at Philadelphia reports bal ance of $13,000 after defraying all expenses, which amounted to $94,- 112. Of the residue and remainder they have given $1,000 to the police pension fund and $4,000 each to the German, St Joseph's and Mt Sinai hospitals. A most judicious and commendable use of the money Bridgeport Standard.
 The statement of a Pittsburg man to the effect that he is willing to spend $2,000,000 to be elected sen ator, should set the poor young men of that city thinking. We believe it was President Hadley of Yale who once said that poor man had no right to go into politics. If this is true, it behooves the voters to make | sure that the rich men elected to | office are honest. Neither riches nor | poverty, taken as such, Is a qualfica- tion for capable public service.-An- sonia Sentinel.
 A consignment of dried flies caught by Brazilians on the Amazon river, recently arrived in London | packed in large sacks. Regular ex- petitions up the river by boat are made to catch these flies, which hover in dense clouds over the swampy reaches of the river. Such of them have been caught that the Brazilian government. fear ing for the fish, has forbidden fur ther exports. The flies are mixed with millet and other grain and used for feeding poultry.-Meriden Jour- nal

TROUT AT HIGH ALTITUDE.
Stocking Lake in the Pyrenees,
 Frozen Ten Months in Year.

Trout culture at high elevation has been tried in the Pyrenees with great success. The place selected was Lake Barrondes, which lies in a broad valley 1900 feet above sea level and has a surface of about twenty-five acres. Long continued observation has established the fact that there were no fish whatever in it. Isolated amid the lonely peaks, nc germ of life had ever reached its waters.
 In August, 1906, a company of sportsmen who are interested in the Pyrenees had 400 trout spawn care fully carried up to the lake and de- posted in the water. By September l the entire surface of the lake was frozen over and the ice did not begin to melt again until July of this year. It was near the end of the month before the entire sheet had disap- peared.
 Then the search for the young fish began and at first there was no re- suit. Not sign of them could be found. The experimenters were about concluding that they had per ished when all of a sudden they ap- peared swimming in swarms near the surface of the lake and exploring all the shallow places along the shores.
 It is believed that their failure to appear at first was due to the cold ness of the surface water, which drove them to the depths of the lake, where they found milder and more constant temperature. Later. as the water grew warmer, they came near er the surface. The fish will be al- lowed to grow and multiply for some years before any attempt Is made to catch any.

Believing that the efficacy of a soldier on the firing line in time ot war depends on his ability to hit what he shoots at, the war depart ment makes an addition to the SOL dier's pay, according to his demon- strated ability as marksman. If they qualify as expert riflemen they receive $3 a month; as sharpshoot- CTS, $2 a month, and as marksmen, S1 a month, for one year. To hold this increase they must qualify an- nually. In the troops stationed in the United States there were last year 990 expert riflemen, SPAS sharpshooters and 3,255 marksmen. In addition there were 5,S29 first class, 5,350 second class and 4,094 third class men. A comparison of these figures with those of 1905 shows that the list of expert riflemen increased from 442 in 1905 to 990 in 1906, or more than 100 per cent. The number of sharpshooters in- creased from 2,372 to 3,24S, and the list of marksmen from 2,427 to B. 255. In addition the troops in the Philippines qualified 167 expert rifiemen, 1881 sharpshooters and l. 136 marksmen. The reports for 1907 are expected to show marked increase in qualifications over last year.

The sword is designed for thrusting and will be long. straight and narrow, after the pattern of-the napier.

Congress has defeated repeated ef- forts to establish in the nation a postal savings bank system. But,
 while the safe and sane have thus imagined they have averted move ment toward socialism, and while financiers have been vigorously de- nying the possible workings of such chain of federal banks, the United States government has introduced in the Philippines an innovation which converts every postoffice in the archi- pelago into a savings bank, says a writer in Appleton's Magazine The Philippine commission in reviewing this American departure in govern ment ownerships calls it "one of the most important pieces of legislation ever enacted by the United States. This was done even while the gov ernment was abolishing the very ex- cellent postal savings bank system Of Hawaii which existed when we annexed that island republic. Uncle Sam in his new daring and economic insight has not only established these postal savings banks, but has issued an essay for circulation among the Filipino people, admonishing them to cultivate habits of thrift and to deposit their savings in these gov ernment banks. Emphasis is placed upon the fact that there is absolute ly no danger of loss, as sometimes there is when private banks close their doors.

for speculative purposes. The act of 1882 was passed to protect the country against the arbitrary and unexpected contraction and subse- quent expansion of currency by banks of issue which had resulted in disaster to the whole country. In 1881, an aggregate retirement Of $1S,OOO,000 of bank currency had caused a panic; and the act was passed to take away from the banks this panic power. The debates in congress at that time showed, says Washington writer, that even the re- publicans had learned to dread the exercise of such a power by the un- scrupulous financiers of those days. But now it is proposed to restore this panic power by enabling banks to issue asset currency with no se- curity and to substitute the "cats and dogs" of Wall street as security for deposits, and use the government bonds which the law has heretofore required as security for deposits, as means of obtaining additional notes for circulation, thus enabling the Wall street gamblers to expand and contract the currency at will, and to make contraction a subter- fuge for emptying the national treas ury into their own coffers. Of course democrats oppose this scheme on principle. Every honest man should oppose it from motives of eXpedien- cy, even if he is not a democrat

When Oregon Was In the Balance.

There is no boundary in the world of greater political importance than the forty-ninth parallel. which divides Canada from the United States. When this boundary was under discussion, the Pacific coast was almost inaccessi- ble. and the ownership of Oregon, now state of vast wealth, with opulent cities and a teeming population, was fin the balance. The matter was set tied by the report of Captain Temple, a brother of Lord Palmerston. who wrote to the admiralty that the coun- try was not worth a cuss because the salmon would not take a fy."-Man- chester Chronicle.

MUSHROOMS.
Those That Are Poisonous Always
 Carry the Death Cup."

Carry the "Death Cup."
 Mushrooms when poisonous are the
 most dangerous plants in existence, as
 there is no antidote for the poison.
 Without going into the intricacies of
 the edible meadow" (Agaricus cam
 pestris), and the morse" mushroom
 (Agaricus arvensis), which are among
 the most wholesome and valuable
 vegetables, and of the numerous other harmless and nutritious varieties, as distinguished by their dark spores from the poisonous kind with white spores. one rule of observation will pre- serve the health and safety of any one collecting wild mushrooms for eating. Without the use of single technical term, the difference in poisonous and nonpoisonous mushrooms is easily shown. even to a novice. What bota- nists call the death cup" the volva around the stipe. or. in plainer terms. the socket around the stem, is never absent from the deadly mushrooms. Sometimes 1t is distinct, well above ground, up around the lower part of the stem; then again 1t is below ground, but not attached to the stem so as to lose the cup shape, and some times 1t grows upon or is attached to the stem. giving it bulbous. swollen base. Severely reject every plant that has bulboUs stem or the cup standing out around the stem. All edible and harmless mushrooms have straight stems. the same size from the root to the cap.-Georgia Torrey Denman in Good Housekeeping.

HOW TO STUDY PROPERLY.

s;oolcB Should De weu Chosen and
Reed Carefully, Not Devoured.
Study Is ike q dinner. The vtantis
must he well chosen and eattn slowly,
not devoured, then well turned over
in the mental stomach for awhile nm
til witt cGcc ailu comfort they are per-
fcctly Gigested and furnish nutHment
to the brain. Most students study
without thought. which IS like eating
without digestng. Others read merely
rs fad and soon forget all they may
have learned.
The most satisfactory method Of
stndy is the digestive. It Is the thor
ough ona-the one that gives strength
TO the brain. Take the subject you are
studying. Read a few lines or a few
pages, as the case may be, then put
the book down and think ON what you
have read. Turn it about in your mind
from every standpoint. Do not accept
1t Immediately. Argue for and against
It in your mind. In other words, masti-
cate it You need not be at your leisure
to do this Do it IL your walks, in your
idle moments, at any time. When you
have satisfied yourself on the subject
80 on with q little more ia the same
way. In O short time you will find
yourself more q thorough student than
IL you had read all at a sitting. The
best educated man in the end is the
man who learns slowly, but surely.

WASHINGTON LETTER

White ribbon advocates are once
more camping on the trail of the max
ers and consumers Of liquor In the Dis
rict Of Columbia. 1t is not long since
the ". G. T. U. and other advocates oi
temperance made campaign against
the sale Of lipno- T.. .sse capitol Of the
.ntion. Their campaign was success
ful. and now they feel encouraged to
try to stop the liquor traffic throughout
the District Of Columbia.
1t Is true that there Is much talk
about the facilities that will be af.
forded for sideboards and sideboard
belongings IN the rooms Of the new
louse and senate Office buildings, and
It may be that In case the legislation
now being sought gets through there
will not be absolute prohibition in the
District. At any rate, the white rib
boners are strongly urging the bill
which has been introduced by Repre-
sentative Webber Of Ohio and which
provides for absolute prohibition Of
manufacture and sale, except for GER
tam prescribed purposes.
Memorials of the Revolution.
Numerous bills are being introduced
for the suitable commemoration OF
events In the Revolution by the erec-
tion Of monuments or otherwise. One
Of these measures is for monument
TO commemorate the battle of Prince
ton and approprlates $4,000 therefor.
The Princeton Battle Monument asso-
citation has been formed in New Jersey
to promote this enterprise, and it is
making a strong effort to get congress
to provide for memorial column on
the site Of the struggle in which Wash
ington defeated the British.
Another bill is for the appropriation
Of 100000 to erect a monument in
York county, S. c., on the field Of the
battle Of Kings Mountain to the men,
ory Of General William Campbell and
the men who fought there
Still another bill is for the appropria-
ton Of $4,000 to erect q monument in
Cherokee county, S. c., on the field Of
the battle Of Cowpens, In memory Of
General Daniel Morgan and his men,
who defeated a part Of CORVALLIS
under Tarleton at this point.

good start for relief that has long
been looked for. While the
change in rates does not affect salt

mean a big saving generally. The
reduction will average about Is
per cent, and as most Of the freight

pie will be benefited.
