Complementary CoIors.

Recent experiments, the results Of
which have been placed before the
Academy of Sciences in Paris, appear
to demonstrate that the true compile
mentary colors Of the spectrum have
not hitherto been recognized. Red
was formerly considered to be the
complement OF green. yellow of violet.
and blue of orange. But according to
Mr.. Rosenstiel, the complementaries
OF red and orange are neither green
nor blue. but greenish-blue tints, and
the complement OF yellow is blue and
not violet, which is the complement Of
green. Mr.. Rosenstiel has accordingly
formed a new "chromatic circle" for
the use of artists, which he believes
is more correct than its predecessors.

His "sea Serpent"

A member of the Big Stove club of
Bath, Me-, told the following expert
ence with a sea serpent. He was at
the wheel of his little fishing schooner
in Long Island sound when he heard
a swishing sound behind his vessel.
Peering behind he could just make
out the long, sinuous body of a sea SER
pent with an enormous head and a
pair of flashing eyes, The serpent,
however, Kept his distance. The next
morning the sailor found that a rope
from the schooner had become entan-
gled IN lobster trap and had towed

Willy Chinese.

A friend Of mine, says correspond
ent of the London Chronicle, has just
returned from remote part Of China,
where he has been laying railway.
He tells me the big difficulty was the
graves OF Cinnamon, over which, OF
course. no railway is supposed to run.
At the outset 1t looked as II his line.
In avoiding these, would become
"straighter than a corkscrew. but not
80 straight as a rainbow" Then he
conceived the notion of buying up
graves that lay on the coming line of
route. The willy Chinese were equal
TO him, for they dug up the bones OF
their ancestors and planted them
ahead, right in the line of advance.
My friend fears that often he paid
three times for the same old bones;
but ultimately he completed the rail-
way, which now runs In a fairly
straight line. except for the first mile
or two.

Thus, England had the greatest navy in
the world at the outbreak of the war but
the smallest army and the Cabinet which
ruled the country was composed of radical
Democrats, over whom the King and the
aristocracy had no control.
On the contrary, the Germans had the
greatest army, and comparatively weak
navy: and the result was that a combination
of the Catholic party (the Centre) and the
millions whose ardent aspirations toward
democracy, were ruthlessly repressed.
Sometimes / am almost persuaded that the
secret cause of this hideous Armageddon
originated In the fear, which Socialism. de-
mocracy, and free thought had awakened in
the souls of the autocrats of Church and
State.
Many despot has caused foreign war to
accomplish his domestic designs.
What the farmers of this country need. is
not an Asa Gambler warehouse system, or "a
Bill Whitman SYSTEM or an E. j. Watson sys-
tenn, or a,ay other State system:
What they need is Money Loan system,
which will give them independence of the
national banks.
Give the farmer a 5-year loan, at 3 per
cent interest, and let him settle the ware
mouse question TO suit nlmSelf.
With 5-year loan in his pocket he doesn't
fear the warehouses he can build one of his
own, if the factor charges too much for
storage.
A few poles, and some sheet-tin, or CORFU
gated iron will suffice for plantation ware
house, if need be, put up in few hours, at
a trifing cost
Let the State keep out Of the acarehouse
business, entirely!
The storage of any farm product, IS pirate
business
Let it remain so.
When the Government redeems its pledge,
and establishes a system of Rural Credits
on money supplied by the Government Iii,
rectly to the farmer-then the Government
can require the bonding Of the warehouses,
as safeguard of the certificates on which
loans are asked.
Any system Of State ware houses is de-
fusion and a snare.
Amy plan of that sort will be used, here
after, as an excuse for not giving you what
they promised.

BREAD AT LOW PRICES.
What the Mohican Company is Doing
in its Bakery Department.

The Mohican company, which claims
the distinction of smashing the prices

when an attempt was made to raise tho
price OF this commodity one cent a loaf,
is inaugurating a vigorous policy in
the bakery departments of its chain OF
stores throughout the east In this city
the company has recently made num-
Der of changes in its bakery and bak-
cry department in the store, and a
special effort will be made to push tho
sale of its bakery products. The sue
cess of its new policy, especially since
the price of wheat has gone up, has
been amply demonstrated in this city,
where, according to Manager F. w.
Aubrey, the sales have doubled within
the past few months.
The MohIcan company, with its
enormous buying powers, secured an
unusually large amount of flour just
previous to the opening of the war last
July, and it has since been drawing
on this supply to manufacture its bak =
cry products IN it's so stores. This has
enabled it to maintain the price OF
bread at four cents a loaf, despite the
marked increase in the price of flour.
This is remarkable when it is consid-
cred that the company bakes a 1ooaE
of bread for that price that scales one
pound in dough. This guarantees at
least il ounces to the purchaser. In
the hearing held in New York on thu
advance in the price of bread the Mo
hican company showed that even if

of converting that flour into $50 loaveJ
