VIM. Jennings Bryan's talk of
threequarters of an hour IN Get
tysburg, with the refrains of their
band. drew together crowd of
several hundred people. Of course
Mr.. Bryan made an orthodox,
democratic talk. in addition to
giving one Theodore Roosevelt a
''black eye" One trouble-the
great trouble-with the democrat
ic party. as The Press views ma
tional issues, is that it will! not let
the tariff question alone, and give
it's energies to the advancement of
other great questions. The Great
West-the country at large-ad-
vanced with giant strides, after the
civil war, under the policy of Pro
lection as against Free Trade; and
for any political party now 80
teach or preach any other doctrine
is suicidal-to ''make long story
short" Perhaps the democratic
party may yet succeed in planting
the flag of free trade on the capitol
dome at Washington; but we very
much doubt it.

How Seeds Travel

They have been discovering some ex-
traordinary plants IN England. plants
which puzzled the botauistS. 10 whom
they were either utterly unknown or
known as growing z ly in far distant
lands. One natura st picked on the
grounds Of the Brad ord sewage works
1G0 species of foreign plants. Among
these were several Australian burrs,
Unison weed, prickly pOppies from
Mexico. others native TO Peru. Siberia
and the Azores. All were of a prickly
nature. Investigation proved that the
dust from wool combing establishments
was being used as fertilizer and the
wasbings of wool were run into the
sewers. The burrs of these foreign
plants had come in the wool and had
grown. other plants nad sprung from
seed In rags and others been brought
in soil on foreign timber-New Yorl,

An ivory M at.

Many people have never even heard
of such a thing, and it is not to be
wondered at, for these mats are ex-
ceedingly rare, and it is said by those
who know that only three of these
beautiful curiOsities exist in the whole
world The one We now write about IS
the largest one made. 1t measures S
by feet and, though made in a small
hill state in the north of India, has an
almost Greek design for its border. Il
was only used on state occasions, when
the rajah sat on it to sign important
documents. The original cost of the
mat is fabulous, for G.400 pounds of
ivory were used in its manufacture.
The finest strips Of ivory must have
been taken off the tusks. as the mat is
as flexible as woven stuff and beau
tifully fine,-LOudon Graphic

LANDED A BIG FISH.
Then He Hooked Bigger Game and
Had an EXCITING Time.


A singular fish story is told in the
East Indian papers. A fisherman
started for the river. accompanied by
shikari, carrying a rife for use In
case of an encounter with big game.
The fisherman in short time landed
q large fish and then moved up stream
to another pool: On his way he pass
ed a ravine and caught sight of an
enormous tiger.
In a panic the fisherman concealed
himself behind pile of rocks and was
fattering himself that he had escaped
observation when the fish fell from his
hands in full view Of the tiger.
The fish was fioundering in the road,
and the tiger instantly pounced on it
and carried it of. But the hook still
held, and as soon as the tiger felt the
resistance of the line he gave his head
an impatient shake, which resulted In
the harpooning OF his upper lip.
At this critical moment the enraged
animal saw the crouching fisherman,
who was totally unnerved by his dan
gerous position. and actually began to
play the tiger as he would a fish.
The tiger stopped for a moment in
apparent amazement at such audacity,
and i'm that instant the shikari came
on the scene with his rife and sent a
bullet through the brute's braip.-St
Louis Globe-Democrat.

WORK OF EARTHW0RMS.
These Humble Borrowers Are Great
Aids to the Farmer.

The humble earthworm is one of
mans best friends. The farmer and
the gardener could not spare him. Dr.
]. Newton Friend tells about him in
Science Progress. From DR.. Friends
observations it appears that worms
aerate the soil in a variety of ways.
In burrowing through the soil the
worms render it more porous and per
meable to gases, not merely by virtue
Of the air spaces formed, but by rea-
son of the fact that the soil is thus
continually kept in gentle motion
Again, the soil passing through the
bodies Of worms is excreted in a finer
condition. being ground by attrition
through the inteStines. Darwin eSti-
mated that no fewer than fifteen tons
Of soil annually pass through the bod
les of worms for every acre.
Further. worms breathe in oxygen
and exhale carbon dioxide. and the lat
ter gas, as is well known, readily dis
solves in water, forming an acid solu-
ton which will render alkaline earthS
and metallic OxiGes-iron-soIu
Worms materially aid in producing
soluble salts OF iron in the soil when
other agencies--e g., dilute mineral
acids-faiI The iron is eventually Civ
en- back to the soil in a more soluble
condition and presumably in one which
can be directly absorbed by plant
roots.

HUMoR OF THE DAY.
Proved Friendship.

The affairs of the firm were in such
a bad way that the creditors met to
take action, and the head Of the firm
was in consultation. He had this to
observe:

orders! II / can keep going for six
months you will get your money. II
you close me up you will hardly get a
nickel on the dollar. Give me six
months longer and | will give you
notes at 5 per cent. What will it be
bankruptcy or a chance for all of us to
pull out?"
The creditors conferred in secret,
agreed to take the notes and made the
announcement. They had put on their
hats and coats and were walking out
when one Of them got the high sign
from the merchant.
He Jagged behind and said. what Is
it,"
