Then we had a band of az riculturalists before the committee, re- splendent in fine raiment and diamonds, faring sumptuousy at the New Willard thrice daily, possibly at the expense of the butter trust. These gentry had the effrontery to say they spoke for the farm CT when they opposed reciprocity, though we sell more farm products to Canada than Canada sells to us, which stubborn fact would shut up any squad of less im- pudence and less insoence.

Cement That Sticks

From the Philadelphia North American.
 Here is a cement that will stick on any thing and forever:
 Take two onees of clear gum arabic. one and one-half ounces of fine starch and half an ounce of white sugar
 Reduce the gum arabic to powder and dissolve it in much water as it would take to make one and one-half ounces of starch ht to use. Dissolve the starch and sugar in the gum solution: then put the mixture in vessel and plunge this vessel in boiling water. allowing II to remain until the starch becomes clear.
 The cement should be as thick as tar. and should remain >so II can be kept from spelling by dropping in lump of gum camphor or a little oil of sassafras or cloves. + Will hold glazed sursaces, rocks. minerals. etc. perfectly.

i Great was the glory of this crown, but that which Charlemagne had assumed at Monza, and which made him king of Italy. was indeed, of holier splendor.

 Through the mists of history the glory of this unique crown has steadily gleam- ed. It figured in the coronation ceremo- nies of the ancient Lombard kings, from the days of Theodellnda down. But finally a new power rose-the kingdom of the Franks. Charlemagne, the fore- most figure of his times, towers above the horizon of history. He has con- quered Europe and Italy lies at his feet. He Is in Rome on the last Christ mas day of the eighth century. and wor- shipping in the great cathedral of St Peter.

Its cities are cleaner than those of the south. for one thing. Into this part of the world nature has packed @ wealth of indescribable beauty and a matchless sublimity of moutains, lakes and undulating plains. with here and there rollicking rills and sober rivers.
 Here, also history has witnessed thrill ing scenes of patriotic heroisn, and has left on record chronicles of valorous people who long ago passed from the changing scenes of earthly happenings. Lombardy has seen the splendid pomp and pageantry of kings and queens who lived so long ago that we think of them only in connection with florid songs of wandering minstrels, or as moving through tales of romance with all the splendor of regal robes.
