Il l5.YEAR OLD FRAUD.

From Judson lannon's Spesoh ct
Nashville. )Jost 16 years ago the wolf
was st the door Ct a republic IN
administration. A large amount Of
bonds were engraved and on the point
Of being issued. Phen the democrats
took charge. They found the bott I'm
of the treasury staring at them and
this pile OF nice new bonds all ready
for use. And as the troubles
increased and the crops failed and the
income tax was overthrown the demo-
Gratis had finally to father those bonds
to MAINTAIN the credit of the country.
Straight way, with the assurance
which only republicans politicians can
carry of. they laid everything to toe
democrats-hard tines. bond issue
and all. Then when conditions were
rapidly improving the republicans
cane back again and at once set up
the claim that they had a monopoly
of good times and we're kindly letting
the country in on them.
Now in spite Of g ned crops, good
business and good prospects, smash
came another panic, spreading loss
and suffering every whore and to
many, ruin. Issuing bonds IN time
of peace The democrats had to issue
bonds to discharge duty imposed by
law, aud here are the republicans
issuing interest bearing bonds without
authority not to meet the needs Of
the government. but just to raise
more money to deposit in banks
without interest.
All frauds prove boomerangs at last.

Leather From Whale Skins.

The British consul at Chicago has
made report to his government con-
corning the whaling industry carried
on by Newfoundland fishermen. They
have been attempting to make whale
leather a commercial product and are
said to be meeting with some success
The average whale hide covers a sur
face Of about 1900 square feet. A
square foot of the hide. weighs from
two to five ounces and is priced as
high as so cents. The leather is very
tough and is said to have great wear
ing qualities and may therefore be
adapted to the covering of furniture.
buggy tops and seats and also auto
mobile uses 1t is also claimed that it
can be used for boots and shoes.
Leather made from the intestines of
the whale resembles kid and is very
thin and tough 1t will take color
readily and is to be offered to glove
manufacturers.

Seat Of Sensation Is the Solar P!exus,
Not the Brain.
The solar plexus is the emotional
brain. says Professor Francois Guyot.
An emotion that attacks us is felt

may give us, if severe, a positive stOln-
acl ache. 1t may even be productive
bereavement, may produce like symp-
toms. Spasms Of hate Or terror would
have like effect.
While the brain does the thinking,
Professor Guyot opines that it does
not feel. The cerebrum, the major
part Of the brain, is the intellectual.
but not the emotional, center. The
brain represents the intelligence. The
spinal cord and the cerebellum, the
latter the little brain not yet we'll I'M

are located in the sympathetic nervous
