PROGRAMME OF DEMOCRATS
Tariff Revision Downward, Re.

Washington, April 1S.-Revision

must buy, as well as revision down.
ward on the things he produces! This
is the keynote of the Democratic re-
ciproc1ty and tariff program.
1t differs radically from the recip-
rocity program contemplated by the
Republicans, which was: Greater
downward revision on the products of
the farmers than on the products OF
the trusts.
Here are the articles that will go
on the free list under the Democratic
program, each of which would have
remained heavily taxed under the Re-
publican program: Lumber, dressed
meats and meat products, flour, boots
and shoes, sewing machines, saddles
and saddlery, wire fencing, baling
wire, cotton bagging and ties, bur-
laps and agricultural implements. in
Guiding plows, harrows, reapers, bind
ers and mowers
This is not all of the Democratic
program for the extra session. Fol
lowing as soon as possible after the
passage of the reciprocity and free
list bills, the tariff will be revised
downward on wooden and cotton gods,

a third Of the voters registered their
opinions The sentiment against the
proposed charter was especially strong
among the farmers of the outlying
districts as under the proposed new
arrangement, the outlying districts
would be included in the city, thereby
increasing the taxes on the farms.

Sure It Was His Wife.

Three o'clock was the very earliest
the man could get up to the store, SO
his wife asked him to meet her then.
Il don't know in what department
shall be at that time," she said, but
just before l will telephone to the
clerk at the information bureau near
the main entrance, and if you will just
step over and ask him he will tell you
where l am"
At two minutes past 3 the man
sought information as to the where
abouts of his wife.
II have a message" said the clerk.
from a woman who said her husband
would inquire for her about 3 o'clock.
Maybe it is for you. She said to tell
you that she has gone to- Blanks store.
over on Sixth avenue, to finish her
shopping because the clerks in this
store are impudent, the place is i'll ven

she wanted here anyhow and never
has been able to find anything here
and this is positively the last time
she will ever try to find anything
here. OF course that might have been

CochineaI Insects.

Before many years cochineal scarlet
will have become a thing Of history
only, like the Tyrian purple of antiqui.
ty. That is the conclusion of NJ. Leon
Diguet, who has been studying the
state of the cochineal industry in Mex
leo. The first specimens of cochineal
were taken to Europe by the Spanish
adventures in the sixteenth century.
The Indians had cultivated the coccus
cacti, from which the color is derived
in pre-C Columbian times, and after the
Spanish conquest the industry devel-
oped rapidly. The city of Oaxaca was
the center Of the cochineal country in
the days of Humboldt. but only few
plantations Of the nopal cactus. on
which the insects are fed, now remain.
The female insects only are used to-
form dye. and they are gathered by
brushing the branches Of the nopal as
soon as they begin to lay their eggs.
They are then desiccated in ovens or
killed with boiling water.

Mark Twain Needed the Voice.


Mark Twain was quite at his best
as an after dinner speaker at the ban
quet given in his honor some years
ago by the members Of the Authors
club. Incidentally he told his amused
listeners the story of his first lapse
from the paths of honesty. He was
very young at the time, he explained,
and the day was an exceedingly hot
once. AS be walked down the street of
the village in whicn he was living he
saw a cart loaded with melons of most
attractive appearance.
1T is with regret l mention Mark
Twain went on, with a humorous
twinkle in his eyes. that was tempt
ed and fell. l grabbed the most like
ly looking melon of the lot and hur-
riedly made my way to the back of
the woodshed. I gouged huge slice
out of it and bit it. No sooner had l
done so when something within me
convinced me that had done wrong.
A voice seemed to say, Mark, get up
and take that melon right back to
where you got it from. 1t was about
the greenest melon l had ever tasted.
l went back to the cart and carefully
replaced it and-took a ripe one in it's
place."-Boston Traveller.

United States senators and repre-
sentatives, diplomats, educators and
prominent men of affairs are in New
York today to assist in the formu-
lation of plans for a nationwide agi-
tation for the abrogation of the treaty
of 1882 with Russia because of that
country's refusal to honor without
discrimination the passports issued
by the United States. The Russian
authorities have persistently refused
to honor passports issued to Jews.
Beginning with a meeting in Carne-
gle Hall tonight, presided over by
Andrew D. White, former ambassador
of the United States to Russia, a SER
les of great mass meetings are to
be held in every large city of the
country to protest against the atti-
tude of the Russian government on
the passport question. Among the
prominent men who have given their
support to the movement are Andrew
Carnegie, Vice-President Sherman,
Governor Woodrow Wilson, William
R. Hearst, Senator Penrose of Penn
sylvania, Senator O'Gorman of New
York, DR.. Charles H. Parkhurst and
Bishop David H. Greer.

Duel With Horsewhips,

A novel but brutal form of duel be-
tween two carriers took place at Baja.
Hungary. Being both in love with the
daughter Of the farmer who employed
them, they decided to fight for her
with their heavy horsewhips, the girl
agreeing to act as umpire and accept
the winner. In order to insure that
there should be no running away, they
first fastened themselves to two posts
in the ground. The girl gave the sig.
nal to begin. and" the two men. who
were stripped to the waist. began to
belabor each other with such fury
that long bleeding welts soon COW
cred their faces, arms and bodies.
Unable to bear the horrible sight, the
girl ran away for help. When she
came back with some of the neigh
bors they found the two men lying on
the ground covered with blood and
exhausted. The duel was declared a
draw.

Curious Old Leqend.

Here is a curious legend Of Cologne.
Once upon a time there was burgo-
meister of the town whose wife died
and was buried. In the evening
thieves, seeking to take jewels from
the dead, opened the coffin. Now it
happened that the woman was not
dead, but in a trance, and when the
thieves broke into her burial place she
awoke and went to her home. There
she called a servant, who ran in fear
to his master and told him what had
happened. The scared burgomeister
replied to this. II would sooner believe
that my horses were looking out Of
the top floor window than believe that
such a thing could be-" Scarcely had
the words left his mouth than he
heard horses galloping up the stairs.
In memory of this and of the return
of his wife he had two horses heads
in stone set in a top floor window Of
his house, where they remain to this
day.

A Luscious Morsel.

mo? Well, then. this is it:
"Catch German carp in a stagnant
and muddy stream. Clean it imme.
diately and hang it in the sun three
days to dry. After it is thoroughly
dried nail it to a spruce board and
cover it with paste of salt and mud.
Let it stand two days longer. Now
bake it forty-eight hours. Remove the
nails, scrape off the salt and mud paste
carefully and then eat the board
never eat the carp"

Successful Economy in Baking.
His Reapportionment Stand.

Most housewives assume when they
buy big can of baking powder at a
low price that they have been econ
Omical. They have to a slight ex-
tent--but when they use that cheap
big cam baking powder, and find it
so uneven-in quality, or so unreliable
that the baking falls, there isn't so
much economy in it after all, for the
wasted materials far outweigh the
few cents saved in the price.
SUCCESSFUL economy, is in the
reach of every woman that desires it.
She has only to order Calumet Baking
Powder, and use it according to in
structiOns. Then, she will achieve
economy. For not only does Calu-
met sell at reasonable price-25c
per pound-but it is SO carefully
made by experienced chemists that
failure, is impossible Only the best
materials are used and the proper
tions of the ingredients are so exact
comes from the oven, light, sweet,
and beautifully raised. Calumet
guarantees you against failure and
that is what constitutes real economy
in baking.
Why not use Calumet, a baking
powder that you can always rely up
on? You can get no better at any
price, for at the Worlds Pure Food
Exposition, Calumet received the
Highest Award.

His Reapportionment Stand.
"You ask me if I would vote for a

you do not know that I drew the

anxious to vote for it at the last ses-
sion. Many Of the papers in the
north have spoken unkindly of the

that a reapportionment bill has come
up I have voted for it, except the So
called Congdon bill. I would like to
ask now if Northern Minnesota is
not thankful that southern members
did what they did with that bill?
Southern Minnesota never has been
and never will be afraid to surren-
der power to the North. The inter-
est of the North are the interest of
the South, but I shall always believe
that the interests of the state will
be best served by centering as much
as possible the power of the state
government with the rural districts.
This need not be done through a
"Seven Senator Bill' but by a prac-
tical construction of our own consti-

son bill. 1t failed but not on account
of the action of Republican members
from Southern Minnesota. The rea-
son for it failing lies with the North,

is called I will vote for a fair reap
portionment bill.

Why the Head Of Lion.

A custom there is in most parts of
Europe to adorn aqueducts, spouts and
cisterns with lions heads. which,
though no illaudable ornament, is Of
an Egyptian genealogy, who practiced
the same under a symbolical illation.
For because the sun being in Leo, the
flood of Nilus was at the full and
water became conveyed into every
part, they made the spouts of their
aqueducts through the head Of a lion.

Addison County Fair Associate n
Reconstructs its Trottine
Course.

When the crowds gather at the Adj
olson Fair, to be held at Middlebury on
August %, 80, 81 and Sept. /, they will
find that the half mile trotting track
has been rebuilt and that it is one of the
best courses in New England.
Patrons of this well-known fair, that
has grown in size and popularity for
many years, no doubt have recollections
of postponements of trotting races be-
cause of a wet and muddy track, caused
by rain fall, and that some years all the
races have gone over till the last day of
the fair.
The track was of clay and it required
time for the water to soak through and
make the course passable for good
trotting work. Now, with the track
thoroughly rebuilt of light loan soil,
rain falls will not retard the track
events.
F. C. Dyer, the secretary, announces
that the premium list is about ready for
persons interested and that copy will
be mailed to allpersons making request.
