woman and child in the Union, or
three times as much as all the gold
and silver money in the world. OF
course much Of this ia watered
stock. But this shows the epor-
nifty of the trust power.
When President Mckinley was
first inaugerated there were but
two great trusts in the nation
the Standard Oil and the Steal
Spelled Steel trust. During the
hrst three years of his presidency
over two hundred of these CONNER
cial freebooters organized and went
to work to destroy all competition,
running thousands of legitimate in.
dustries, making tramps and pau
pers by the million. Fully as many
more have been organized from
that time to the present. They are
here booted aud spurred, to ride
the people to ruiz and the old
world serfdom, unless the people,
by their ballots, set down upon
them and put them out OF business.
Those trusts are at present con-
tributing largely for the success of
the Republican ticket. In this
they aue not to blame. The in
terests of the Republican party and
Of the trusts are Identical. Should
the one 60 down SO goes the other.
AS evidence of their joint interests
consider that Mr.. Sheldon, chair
man of the Republican National
Committee, is intimately identified
with no less than seventeen promi
nent financial concerns. One OF
them, the Bethlehem Steel company
does not employ union labor and
has opposed the organization of its
employees for the past sixteen
years. Mr.. Sheldon is director
of The North American company
capitalized for $50, 100000, the
concern known as 1.-The mystery Of
| Wall Street"
No doubt he is the proper person
to raise funds for his friends in the
present campaign.

the treatment and reception given
them by the people of that vicinity.

The Insect and the Net.

1t has been known for long time
that an insect will not fly through a
net with meshes three or four times as
large as it's body. whereas a bird will
go through a mesh Of corresponding
size without hesitation. The insect can
not tell us why it stops and lights on
the net without trying to go through.
and it's peculiar action puzzled observ-
ers until the scientists took the matter
up, as they do all things Of that kind
They say that the eye Of the insect is
made up of many facets. so that the
net looks to it like Il continuous opaque
surface. the meshes not being appar-
ent Therefore it stops or turns back
before it discovers that it might have
gone through the net without stopping
To the eye of the bird, however, the
meshes are plainly visible. and it goes
through without hesitation.

Maxine "Cinnamon" Canaries.

cinnamon canaries are the best
known of q mere handful Of instances
where it is possible to change the color
of bird or animal by food. The trick
has long been known to fanciers, and
each claims to have his own secret for
working the miracle. but the process Is
really simple and consists in abundant
ly sprinkling the birds food with red
pepper. 1t is a troublesome process,
for a large number of birds either re-
fuse to eat or suffer from deranged
digestion. Even of those who take the
diet not more than a third or half
will show the color effects. The only
inducement to the fanciers to produce
this curious change Is that once so
altered these birds have an artificial
value. Dealers will tell you that In ad-
dition to the red pepper they give 9TH
ec red articles Of food, such as tomato
skins, slices of beet and the skins OF
red apples or cranberries. But this Is
merely an innocent fallacy, based on
the idea that the coloring matter OF the
food is transferred bodily to the feath-
ers.-Collier's Weekly.
