 Friendship With Bryan.
 Since that day in Chicago when "the cross of gold' admonishment of MT. Bryan set the democratic party afame, and even before, MT. Kern has been lay ing wreaths at the feet of the Nebras- kan and making obeisance to him "as the peerless leader" In the campaigns of 1896 and 1900 MT. Kern caused tears, smiles and some votes for the man from the Platte. Never did the latter have a more ardent champion and no one sub scribed to the Bryan creed with larger letters or blacker ink.
 Mr. Bryan kept his eye on the Indiana1 throughout those campaigns. He ob- served the sturdiness of his faith and the drift of his argument. He kept his eye, too, on the skirmishes and maneuvers of the two state battles in Indiana, when MT. Kern went down to defeat with a halo of party glory encircling his head.
 In their friendship the two men are like affectionate brothers. When the Ne braskan goes to Indianapolis to remain over night he always seeks out the mod est home of MT. Kern. sits at his table and makes the Kern fireside a political confessional. If he happens to be pass ing through Indianapolis and has an hour to spare the little law office Is visited for party conferences. It was as much these meetings in personal contact, man to man, as in the larger councils that caused the Nebraskan to value the friendship of the Indianan.
 It was MT Kern who went to Europe two years ago to meet MT. Bryan and to be the courier telling of Ne great recep- ton that awaited the worid-circler at Madison Square Garden.
 MT. Kern is native of Indiana and Kokomo is his birthplace. He never has lived outside the Hoosier state except Tn ambition. In putting his name before the convention, Thomas R. Marshall who is trying to wrest the governorship from the republicans, said his candidate came from a land where every man is either a politician or an author. Pre-eminently MT. Kern is in the former class. But his powers of oratory have made him as near as cousin to George Ade- Booth Tarlxington- Whitcomb Riley-Barr Me Cutcheon- Charles Majors clan of thrill CTS.
 The gentleman from Indiana, "of TarS- ington fame'' never offered braver po- litical fight in the realm of fiction than has John W. Kern in real life say his intimates There is personal magnetism in the man and the sort of democratic traits that back it mp. If there is one from the land of the Wabash who las shaken more hands of factory toilers. farmers, first voters and women and children than MT. Kern he is challenged by the latter's friends to come upon the platform and declare himself

COIN NOTICES.
Inscriptions The* Were a Joy to tho
Cynics and Crisics.

Inscriptions Thzt Were Joy to tho
Cynics and Cri%ies.
A collection OF coin notices gathered
by an Italian student, Amerigo Scar
latti, was published in Minerva, an
Italian periodical. Scarlatti is. of the
opinion that such inscriptions. though
not intended to be cynical, too often
admit of such an Interpretation through
the irresistible habit Of the public of
ignoring the intention Of the designer
and applying the motto to the coin it
self
Thus when Charles IL, king Of the
two Sicilies, had engraved on his Sill
yer ducat the Latin words ''Unus non
Suficit," meaning "One is not enough" j"
all the world insisted on forgetting
that the king referred to single scep-
ter and enthusiastically agreed with.
him that one ducat wasn't enough for
any one.
On the contrary, a storm OF ironical
opposition was aroused when Louis de
Bourbon, king Of Etruria, in the early
part of the last century inscribed '.Nd-
deant Pauperes ct Lactentur'' on his
coins. The words mean Let the poor
see and rejoice" and Of course every
one wanted to know why a poor man
should rejoice at merely seeing piece
of money.
On the papal coinage of 1913 bearing
the arms of Gregory Kill are the
words 'Et Super Hanc Petram" (And
upon this rock). Of course the pope
and the artist who designed>the coin
meant the words to refer to the papa,
cy, but the evil minded applied them
so maliciously; to the coin itself that
the issue was speedily stopped. A sima
:silar opportunity. for, evil tongues was
afforded when the knights Of Malta.
coined an issue of dollars with the sign.
of their order, the Maltese cross, and
their motto, ''In Hoe Signo Militamus''
sQn this sign we combat. The ribald.
affected to take it as a. confession that
with them money was truly the sinew
sOf war.
3 A Venetian Ira dated 1474 has the
somewhat ambiguous motto "ln IfD1,
Solo Gloria" (To thee alone the glo-
sry). A sequin coined by Cardinal Rez-I
.gonico in 1744 bears the words "Veni
Lumen Cordium," or 'Come, thou light
sof hearts,. Clement X1. issued coin
with an image Of the Madonna, with
the legend "Causa Nostrae Laetitiae"
Cause Of our JOY, and Venetian
piece with an allegorical figure Of JUS
tice, with the words "Nostra In hac
elicitas" (Our happiness in this). All
of these inscriptions were irrevently
diverted by contemporaries from their
true object to the money itself.

Bacteria In Butter.

"Bacteriologists have shown US that
ordinary butter is swarming with
germs" declares Good Health. "a Sin
gle teaspoonful of milk generally con-
tains from 100000 to 100000 germs.
The number may even be much larger
than this. In the removal OF cream
from the milk the germs are taken with
it, and in the process of churning the
germs are collected with the fat. so in
the butter we have the concentration
of large part of the germs contained
in the milk from which the butter was
derived. So in a pound Of butter de-
rived from twenty pints Of milk the
number of bacteria must be almost be-
yond estimate. A brief computation
will show that the number Of bacteria
contained in a pound Of butter might
easily reach the enormous sum OF i've
to ten billions"

A FEAT IN PHOTOGRAPHY.
Daring Descent to Get View of an
Osprey's Nest.

Daring Descent to Get View Of an
Osprey's Nest.
Now commenced my work, and de-
scended on my rope to terrace after
terrace, forcing my way through thick
rows Of prickly pear, a most painful
operation. And now we found that
there was nobody below to signal US
where the nest lay. The inevitable re-
; suit was that after descending more
than 100 feet had to signal to be
! hauled up again., always through the
prickly pear Again did l descend,
and again did I fail to find the nest.
On the third occasion I reached 4 re-
cess in the great cliff. whence. after
unbending my rope and securing it to
a bush for obvious reasons, made Il
cast along ledge to the south and
reached a point which l identified as
being not far from the nest as seen
from below So I retraced my steps
and, regaining my rope, was hauled
up for third time. During this op-
GRAFTON I passed a ledge where a pere-
grine falcon was nesting. The Old
female swept close around with shrill
cries and eventually alighted on the
sandy shelf of rock within few feet
of me and, with outspread wings and
every feather standing on end, low
cred her head and screamed furiously.
1 have no doubt / was close to her
young, but l had more serious work in
hand, and so left her alone.
I now made my fourth and last
descent and found myself immediate
" over the nest, but before could 60
down to it, the party handling the rope
had to work their way down toward
me, since the rope was too short. FL
nally reached the nest, an enormous
mass of big sticks measuring more
than five feet across and doubtless the
result Of many years work. In 1t were
two eggs much .incubated. By stand
ing on ledge close to the nest and
pressing the camera between my body
and the face OF the cliff was able to
take some long time exposures with
fairly good results. 1t was near sun
set and the cliff was In deep shadow,
which did not facilitate my task. Be-
tween the shaly nature of the cliff. the
slippery terraces covered with loose
soil and stones and the detestable
prickly pears never had a more .un-:
pleasant or arduous task on q cliff be-
fore. But I have lived to endure worse
experiences, although not so painfully
protraeted as were these
Ny very curt entry In my diary sum-
marizes the whole job thus: bad shale
cliffs, vertical and dangerous. Height
over sea, 160 feet. Top Of cliff, 80
feet. The worst bit Of rope work I
ever did"
With regard to the prickly pears. 1t
was many months before the last Of
the poisonous spines had collected in
various parts Of my body consented to
come out, and then only after first fes-
tering.-London Saturday Review.
