In this last election the people
took a most advanced step. They
will go back again to the old con-
dition. They have demanded a
reduction in the tariff and have
placed their confidence in the
Democratic partys ability to
bring about that reduction with
out disturbing business or up
setting trade. Grover Cleveland
once wrought great injury on the
Democracy by failing to correctly
interpret the tariff sentiment Of
the Nation, and Mr.. Taft and MI.
Roosevelt have succeeded in
grounding the Republican party
on the same bar. The re-estab-
lished Democracy should profit
! by the examples of the past and
move forward now strong in the
wisdom that experience has
brought, National Monthly.

The Beet as Food.

The beet beats all. 1t is one of the
most valuable of cultivated plants.
The sugar beet is a main source of
sugar and alcohol The large forage
beets supply an excellent food for cat
tie. and the red garden varieties pro-
vide savory table vegetables. The
usefulness Of this valuable food has
been increased by the production of
an edible -four from sugar beets. The
desiccation Of sliced sugar beets is
practiced in Germany on an extensive
scale. but the product is employed ex-
clusively as fodder for cattle. In Bel
GUM a meal is made from dried beets.
1t is entirely free from the distinctive
flavor of the beet and is suitable for
cakes, buildings and pastry. AS it con-
tains about 65 per cent of sugar, ii
can often be substituted with advan-
tage for sugar in somewhat larger
quantities. The processes of desicca-
ton and grinding not only cost less
than the extraction of sugar, but pre-
serve all the sugar of the beet, part OF
which is rejected In the form Of mo
lasses In the process of sugar making

One Man Who Discovered That War
Was Not Wholly Bad.

One Man Who Discovered That War
Was Not Wholly Bad.
Lem Jackson loved to loaf. He lived
In the mountains not far from Green
Vile. Tenn. with his wife and a large
brood of children. Lem had u "houn'
dawg" that he set great store by, and
he spent most of his time lounging in
a runway waiting to shoot a deer driv-
en- in by old Bose or sprawIing on the
bank of stream fishing In that way
he was II good provider after a fash
ion. but not all the urging. scolding,
nagging and demonstrating of his
,Bhrewish wife could drive him to work.
Lem led the lazy life of Rip Van
Wrinkle until the outbreak of the civil
war, and then he Joined the Confed-
crate army. At the end of six months
Lem was shot through the right thigh,
and 1t was long before he was able to
limp out of the hospital and back to
his regiment. In the second year he
was shot in the left shoulder. and when
he returned to duty his left hand was
bent far back by a shortened tendon.
but he was still able to raise his rifle
Early in the fourth year they got him
again-a musket ball through the body
but he was back in the ranks long
before the fighting was ended Every
one wondered at LENS persistence in
sticking TO the terrible trade of war.
DR.. Girdner met Lem hobbling down
the street in Greenville one morning
in June, 1865, still pale and weak from
his latest wound. his right leg short
and wabbly. his left hand stifiy bent
back.
'Glad to see you alive, Lem" said
the doctor. Il suppose you're glad to
be home again?"
"Waal," Lem admitted without en-
thusiasm, Il s'pose had to git erlong
home. Gin'ral Lee he surrindered US
down to Appomattox. an we all had
to go home"
But aren't you glad to be away from
the dangers of war;"
why, doc, war hain't so bad" cried
honest Lem-"war hain't SO bad.
There's lots of days when you don't
have nothin' to do."-Harper's Weekly.

Ant Empires.

In a recent book about ants Rev. n.
@. McCook gives some surprising facts
about the mound making ants of the
Aneghenies. He has measured some
mounds more than thirty feet in cir
conference, although rarely more than
three feet In height But around these
there are many new mounds in course
Of construction only few inches in
height. They are found In groups. one
of which. near Hollidaysburg, Pa.
contains LOO mounds within a space
Of fifty acres. Their total population
is enormous. and each group of
mounds appears to constitute a COM
munity-an insect kingdom Or empire
In regard to their numbers DR.. Forel
is quoted as saying that these ant
kingdoms have In all probability from
200,OO0,OO0 to 40O000,OO0 inhabitants,
"all forming single community and
living together in active and friendly
intercourse"
