The reader has no doubt noticed that
the supporters of Mr.. Bryan have been
signifying their belief in him in the
usual manner. But what is the usual
manner here, the holding up of one
hand, is poor and tame business when
compared with the methods adopted at
Denver. There they hold up botn hands
and both feet, they tear off half their
clothes, and even the ladies fling away
their hats-the final climax of enthu-
siasm, for when woman sacrifices the
Hat, then indeed she means business,
and then comes the tug of war.
When we see in an English paper
cloud and prolonged applause we
understand the phrase to mean dem
onstration lasting about 10 seconds. IN
America they cheered the other day for
one hour and quarter by the clock.
And it was none of your perfunctory
little hear, hear" affairs, for they
bawled and beloved all the time. The
papers proudly reported a moving in
cident-a gentleman was so energetic
in his cheering that his artificial teeth

appeared under the press table. The
gentleman was undismayed-he crawl
ed after his "chewing machinery as
the papers called it, clapped the teeth
into position once more, and cheered
away again until black in the face!

Applause in History
Romans Had Three Kinds, but Nothing Like
That at Denver.

j word bombus contains any alIusion
! to explosives, for that is not the case
The word signifies a humming OF
buzzing noise. Here, perhaps, we have
the first hint of a great people making
things hum. 1t was most impressive
sound, and when the orators said
haw,' as all orators do (some say
"hee-haw'), and the audience put in
the hum, the result was hum and haw,
the essential ingredients of oratory.
But the bombus, though inspiring, was
not the biggest thing in the way of
applause known to the Romans.
Imbrices Were noises made with the
hollow hands, and testae signifies the
striking of the fat portions of the
hands together, after the manner of two
testae or tiles. From this 1 gather
that testae means what we call clap
ping, but what the noises made with
the hollow hands were l cannot say,
Perhaps the old Roman boys used to
boot through the hands or get a sort
of whistle out of them. 1t will be
seen that they used only the voice or
the hands-there was no stamping, and
that is perhaps explained by the fact
that the Romans had no boots in our
sense of the word. Any attempt to
applaud would, therefore, have been
quite bootless-and painful as well.
Any one who has listened to a burst
of wild applause in an English theater
knows that after the din has increased,
and the storm risen to a certain height
of intensity, it is certain that some toy
in the gallery (and may heaven bless
him) viii insert two fingers in his
mouth and oblige with the demonstra>
ton known as the "death shriek'' 1t
is most effective. It gives a finishing
touch, it shows that the climax has been
reached, it is the last word in the way
of friendly or unfriendly demonstra-
ton.
The whistle has received a be1e-
diction from no less a man than the
Parliamentary and Financial Secretary
TO the Admiralty. DR.. Mcnamara has
recently informed the public that he
whistles every day, and as everything
which he does he does with his might
we may be sure that most people within
an acre or two of his inspiring presence
know when he IS whistling [ have no
doubt he would have made his presence
felt had he been at the Bryan business
at Denver. It is said, but this
state with all reserve, that owing to
his recent benediction pronounced on
whistling there is to be movement to
introduce it into the House as a re-
cognized form of Parliamentary demon.
tration, either friendly or hostile.
Thus, when the Chancellor of the Elk
chequer says in a casual way that he
wants 9150,000,000 a whistle would
mean: "You can whistle for it, my
boy,' or, "Don't you wish you may
get it?'-London Opinion.

verse and their bearing on the mind and
morals OF the human race than has yet
been attempted in our country.
The mental stimulus afforded by the
questions propounded in one lesson will be
worth more than the cost of a years
tuition. This School will be equally
adapted to the mental or manual worker
and will not only open a mine of knowI-
edge, but will be refreshing mental recre-
alton from the daily occupations of life.
The School is particularly adapted to the
young and middle aged. Humanity has a
terrible indictment against theology, and
thinkers and students can alone frame
this indictment and present it at the bar
of Reason. The most valuable asset of
orthodoxy is faith" yet faith is fashioned
out of ignorance and embelished by imag-
nation. The most valuable asset the
Blade School of Correspondence offers to
its pupils is knowledge. 1t arrays the
facts of Nature, and tells it's pupils to
choose between Fact and Faith.
All the human mind can know is Nature,
all that it cannot know is God. l feel
grateful to the Blade for launching this
great educative School, and l heartily
commend 1t to all enquiring minds and
bid the great work good speed and
abundant success.

A SUPREME TEST.

The ten commandments, said to have
been given to Moses, and the so-called
golden rule, are now to be coverted into
a political platform and at Rock Island,
Illinois, on the first day Of May, there are
to be nominated candidate for president
and another for vice president, who shall
go before the electorate Of the United
States with such for their platform. The
result will be well worth watching. The
votes extended to these candidates will
show whether this is really a Christian
nation, or otherwise. If consistently Chris
tian, these gentlemen will be elected. II
Indifferent even a goodly number of votes
ought to be cast for them, but If the nation
has had enough of Christianity, they will
be politely ignored in the contest and the
Blade is willing to stake the issue of
Christian nation or no Christian nation on
the result.

fed that nameless pond, sent forth their

parents paid toll at that mill.

erected in the classic land of the Euphra-

its time is so remote that history fails in

built this mill and who first ground at it's

their footprints on the sands of time,
their carving on the rocks, horns and
bones of animals, as well as their tradi-
tional lives on the rude concepts of the
jewellers amid the wilds of our time. Nor
