The admission Of Oklahoma recalls a
few interesting facts connected with the
admission Of the other states
A practical result Of the Declaration
Of Independence was that from that day
each colony assumed the name Of a
State; and the Union changed its name

In the beginning there were the thirteen
original States, now there are forty-si1.
The first to join the original thirteen
were Vermont and Kentucky in 1891
and 1892 respectively; each made out of
the thirteen-N ermont out of New York
and Kentucky ont Of Virginia. New
States may be admitted by the Congress
into this Union, this il the language of

AS the ship-subsidy lobby is already
gathering in Washington for another
assault upon the treasury, they must
have confidence in the majority of Re
publican congressman being in favor of
that grating proposition. Still one can
hardly believe, that for the sake Of their
own political fortunes, many represent
atives Of the people will take the chances
Of voting for the ship-subsidy graft and

Republican tariff reformers having
studied the tariff question for number
of years have now decided that they
need two more years to find out what to
do about it. Their stand-pat brethren
long ago decided that the reformers
knew nothing about the tariff issue.
Under such conditions how can the Re.
publican party be expected to revise the
tariff, either before or after the cleo
tom"

GHOSTLY N|GHTLAMP
IT MOVES MYsTERlouSLY IN A
 LADY's CHAMBER.
Explanation Found for the Phenome. non at Last in Presence of Little Mouse Which Nearly Causes
 conflagration.

A short while ago an Austrian lady and her family staying in Constanti- nople were almost burned alive through the meddlesomeness of a mouse.
 It was the lady's custom to sleep with night-light burning in her room, and all went well for several nights. The light. as might be expected, burned for the number of hours it was intended to burn, and then died nat ural death,
 One morning. however, the night light had evidently been tempered with. It was only half consumed, and there weer little scratches on it, as if some small animal had been gnawing at the wax.
 On the following night the lady awoke at about two o'clock. What was her horror when she saw the night-light. burning brightly, moving about the room!
 The phenomenon was not due to any supernatural agency, but merely to the fact that small mouse with a taste for candlegrease was endeavor- ing to carry of the night-light and sup on it.
 This it was forcibly prevented from doing.
 The next night, in order to circum- vent the mouse, the night-light was placed in basin full of water.
 The lady and her husband went to bed feeling like generals who had won great victory. ...
 During the night the lady's husband was aroused by strong smell of burn ing. What could 1t be?
 Happening to glance at the window, he saw to his horror that the curtains were in flames. There was not a mo- ment to lose.
 Springing out of bed. he dragged the curtains to the floor and dashed water over them. As he did so a mouse left half-eaten night-light which lay on the window sill and dashed down a ] hole in a corner of the room. Undaunted by the basin of water, the mouse had evidently removed the right-light and carried it over to the window, where. in its efforts to devour the choice morsel, 1t had nearly caused serious conflagration.
 The lady herself, who had been aroused by the noise made in extin- gushing the flames, was terrified at the thought of the danger with which she and her husband had been men. aced.
 Indeed, the only individual really satisfied with the nights adventures was the mouse! Both occupants of the room con graduated themselves on their narrow escape. .z

Railroad Balloons"

It is proposed by German engineer to use balloons for railway purposes. A stationary balloon is fixed to a slido running along single steel rail. This rail is carried up the side of a steep mountain. The balloon is moored by a steel cable to the rail, at a height of about S5 feet above the ground. The conductor can cause the balloon to ascend or descend at will. The lifting power is furnished by hy- drogen gas, and the descent is caused by water pressure poured into a large tank at the upper end of the road.
