TUESDAY. JUNE 13, 1893.
Huxtinhton lleraM:—Nero fiddled while Rome wsb burning. Cleveland utters plHtitades while merchants fttil, banks liquidate and rolling mills close down.
There seeuis to be an impression in the Democratic party at present that the tarifT is not as black as it has been painted. The Democratic batteries have been turned ou the pensions.
St. Louis Globe Democrat:—When the people begin to pav an income tax and a dnty on tea, coffee and sugar th=)y will begin to realize what an expensive blunder was made in the last election.
The Republicans in Congress will cheerfully do all they can to assist Cleveland in his fight for honest money, but ho must remember that their power is limited, and that success depends upon his ubilty to convince Democrats that they ought to repudiate the Chicago platform.
N. B. AsnjiY, formerly of this county, but now of Iowa, has been appointed to consulship in Ireland by President Cleveland. Originally he whs a Republican but became a lecturer and organizer for the National Farmers' Alliance and has now drifted into the Democratic party. A mess of pottage is wonderfully soothing to a troubled mind.
Tue soil of Indiana has again been polluted and disgraced by a bloody and brutal prize fight which occurred at fiobv, a place of nnsavorv reputation' last night. What makes the affuir the more humiliating is the fact that it was carried into execution under the sanction of a law enacted by the late Democratic Legislature and approved by a Democratic Governor, this same Governor who but a few days ago posed on his virtife and dramatically announced that be would co-operate with the Sheriff of Lake county and pre7ent the outrage from being committed.
Ex-Goveknou CnA.SE went up to Kokomo on Monday and gave bond for his appearance at court on a grand jury indictment growing out of his connection with the Greentown bank. His bond it is said will represent 81,000,000,and had he accepted all thut offered their names it would have been irood for several milmillions. This only goes to Bhow that the ex Governor has ah innumerable host of friendB who firmly believe in his innocence or that he had the remotest idea of any wrong doing. Mr. Chase acts and talks like an innocent man and we believe will be able to pass through the ordeal with flying colors.
The action of the City Council last night in re-electing Dr. E. IL Cowac as a member of the School Board will meet with well nigh universal approval. The Doctor has made an intelligent and painstaking official and has performed his duties in a most industrious and conscientious manner. This is true of the Board in its entirety. Under its direction the Central school building has been rebuilt ana placed in a better condition than it ever was before the fire. While the Board was economical it was not niggardly, and the citizens have a feeling of pardonable pride in the improvements that have been made in»that structure. Oar schools, loo, are in a most nourishing condition and every department is rnninng Bmoothly and without friction. There has been a hearty co-operation on the part of the Board with the teachers and superintendent and the resnlt is a state of affairs that is highly satisfactory.
Tiie Presbyterian church, judged by the standard set up by the late General Assembly, seems to be fnll of heretics. It was only by a flank movement that the anti-Briggs men in the New York Presbytery yesterday succeeded in having the decision of {the General Assembly recorded on the minutes of the Presbytery. And Rev. T. C. Hall, of Chicago, son of the distinguished Dr. John Hall, of New York, has practically chal lenged a heresy trial. In making his report to the Chicago Presbytery as a Commissioner to the General Assembly, he said: "I do not believe that Moses wrote the Pentateuch, nor that Isaiah wrote the two books. Oar church has taken a position narrower than that of any in the world. I do not believe it was legal or constitutional. I take the
Bame position practically as that taken by Dr. Briggs." If a vote were taken in Center Presbyterian church o^ this city it would reveal the fact that nine-teen-twentieths of the membership are in acoord with the views of the distinguished divine whom the Assembly cast out as a heretic. The so-called heretics are not confined to the Presbyterinn church. Every orthodox church in the land is permeated. The pews can think as well as the pulpit.
WHY MAN WEARS A HAT.
CiponQrc of tlie Head Kmlangers th« El» evation of the lluiium K»c«. Perhaps no article of clothing has been more freely criticised iu respect to its utility tliau that which lexicon rap ho i-3 describe as "a covering for the head." Some, instructed by the example of savage races and others widely different in various ways, among them the leaders of feminine fashion, whoso crowns of gossamer may practically be disregarded, would have it that the hatless condition is that most characteristic of mankind, says the London Lancet. Against their opinion We find arrayed the combined force of civilized usage in every climate.
From polo to pole we find that man, if he dresses at -all, drosses his head. Even If bootless and guiltless of such minor trifles as waistcoat and collar, he covers the head with some form of clothing. Nay, the very savage, though be may know nothing of silk or felt, will often so decorate his vortex with feathers or so weave his own natural wool that not oven the conventional European cylinder could protect it more effectually. Surely there must be reason in all this.
There is a clearly conscious need which exists not merely in imagination. It is thus practically admitted that though the head, like any other part of the body, may, after having suffered the attrition of atmospheric variations, become inured to their action, it still loses somewhat in the process. In the first place, it is evident that in this conflict only the fittest can hope to survive. Civilized man will not endanger his chance of survival by risking the experiment. Further, ho finds that the Inferior animals thus exposed undergo external changes which do not often, if ever, tend in the direction of refinement, and instinctively he shuns the possible return of coarseness and barbarism. He also recognizes the fact that, given a wholesome custom in head clothing, the consequent effect will be as healthy as it is becoming.
Foremost among the sanitary principles which ought to control usage in this matter are two—the avoidance of any but the lightest pressure and the admission through the texture worn or by special apertures of sufficient air for free ventilation of the head. If these elementary considerations be duly regarded and sufficient protection be provided against changes of weather we shall find the man the better, not the worse, for wearing his "covering for the head."
IMPOSSIBLE CLASSIC HEROES.
The Character! Drawn by Old Writer* Nut at All True to Lift. Some of the older novelists in dealing with old Rome, the feudal days in France, Germany or England, or with pioneer life, make their characters belong simply to another time in the new world, instead of to another race and world of their own, says a writer in the New England Magazine. In endeavoring to reproduce scenes and social conditions which have passed away, many historical novelists confuse the conditions and perennial human nature. They label their characters according to their social station and confuse these social distinctions with the qualities of thts spirit. They give us men and women whom God would fail to recognize, but whom the critics, more acute, readily hail as models and types for all other students of human nature. Their characters are nearly all mounted on stilts they are animated by motives and considerations which are quite impossible, and they talk as human beings never talked in this world. They deal not with the exceptional, which is possiblo and artistic, but with the impossible, which is caricature.
Their old Romans and barons and highwaymen, etc., stalk through the scene mouthing platitudes and "sentiments," whereas .we may be quite cer tain that they occupied themselves chiefly with cheating, lying, cringing, stealing, scheming, dining, drinking, dissipating, working, gossiping, gaming and talking slang, just as men are doing in the streets, marts, pubiio offices, theaters, etc., of Paris, London and New York to- day. And beneath all this action there was always a crude philosophy, classifying and analyzing both motives and actions. One would imagine from the romantic representations of these phases of life that this reflective habit of mankind was an invention of yesterday, and did not really date beyond the decline of the Roman empire to the philosophy and civilization of Greece. These sam"s virtues and vices exist to-day, and never will be entirely eradicated, no matter how high the title of civilization rises but, except in the very lowest plane of human life, where the relation to humanity is scarcely more than that of the human form, men in all ages have sought for a solution of the riddle of existence, and hence have, in a more or less crude fashion, reflected upon action.
Income of Pranla.
Out of a population of 80,000,000 in Prussiaonly 2,435,858 persona possess an income of over 900 marks a year, which is equal to about $225. This fact is shown by the first year's results in the new income tax in Prussia. Two million one hundred and eighteen thousand nine hundred and sixty-nine pay income tax on the lowest scale—that is, on incomes of between 000 and 8,000 marks. Only 10,908 persons have incomes of over 80,000 marks, or about $7,000 a year. The highest income declared is 0,700,000 marks, and from the locality where it was registered the person is supposed to be Krupp, the gunmaker of Essen.
An Idral Wife.
A well known banker who had not expressed his opinion was asked what his Idea wa&of what might be termed an ideal woman. "My wife asked me the same question the other day," ho replied, "and I told her my Ideal was embodied In the latter part of the thir-ty-first chapter of Proverbs. She went and read the chapter, and when Bhe came back she said she wasn't going .to be iny Ideal, and I was rather glad of it, for I think perfection might be ai hard to get along with ns to gain."

FLOWER AND TREE.
Humboldt computed the age of a baobab tree, a species of banyan, to be 5,700 years. A bunch of 5-leafed clover was recently found growing in a New York city garden.
An acre grows COO mulberry trees each tree has 20 pounds of leaves from 20 pounds of leaves a pound of cocoons is produoed.
Nearly every county tn England has its favorite oak, the largest of which is the Cowthorpe of Yorkshire, which has a circumference of 80 feet.
A yew tree almost destitute of branches or bark grows abundantly in the Caucasus to a height of from 50 to 00 feet and a diameter of a little over 2 feet. It grows slowly, but its timber is almost Indestructible, except by lira It Is considered superior to to mahogany.

Too Late.
Perhaps Tennyson has written nothing which appeals to the hearts of all who read his poems more than the lyric of "Too Late." Tho burden of tho sad refrain comes home with telling iorcoto tho hearts of those who havo lost friends by that dread disease—consumption Theyreal'zo "too lato," tho result or neglect. They feel that the dear one might have been saved if they had heeded the warning of tho hacking cough, tho pallid cheek, and weakening system. They foel this all tho more keenly becauso they see others beine rescued from the grasp of the destroyer, und they think what is saving others might have saved their loved ono. When tho first signal of danger is seen, take stops tojiveVt the catastrophe. Bo wise in time. Dr. I'ierco's Golden Medical Discovery will drive away consumption. Do not wait until too late before putting its wonderful emcHcy to tho tost. It succeeds where other remedies fail

PLEASANT THINGS IN ARIZONA.
Poisonous Skunks, Savagu Peccarlcn, Gila Monsters, Scorpion* and Tarantulas.
"Arizona, from the nature of its location, is, I suppose, the most peculiar country in its animal, insect and reptile life on the continent," said C. M. Bruce, member of the legislature and one of the cattle kings of the southwest, to a reporter for tho San Francisco Examiner. "Thero are peccarlcs that are very savage in the high Rincon and Chiricahua mountains. I have heard it said that they havo hoofs like mules, but I never saw any of that kind. They are as big as a six-months'-old shoat, haven sharp back and long hair and emit a musk something like a skunk. They are so savage they will attack you whether you attack them or not. Every onco In awhile somo of the boys get caught in tho trees by these peccaries.- They have to take to the trees or get torn to pieces. "I know a fellow in tho Rincon mountains who was kept up for several hours. Thero was a largo band of peccaries under tho trees. The tops of the Rincon mountains are covered with live oak, or what thev coll post oak, and the peccaries feed on ^he acorns. They are simply a wild hog. I am confident our domestic hog la descended from them. Speaking of tho peccaries throwing musk and th* dangers from their teeth reminds me of the spotted black and whlto skunks, whose bite down there Is poisonous. "The skunks have rabies, and a bite from them at such times is fatal. They make for a man as quick as they see him, and ho has to be very lively il he gets out of the way. Two vaqueros, employed by the Crittenden Cattle company, died from their bites last summer. I suppose if I have known of one case I have known of twenty of this kind. "S. Weir Mitchell, now of the Smithsonian institution, but stationed for a long time at Fort Wing-ate, N. M., made them a special study. He made the Gila monsters, centipedes, scorpions, tarantulas and all the animals of the desert the subject of special investigation while ho was at Fort Wlngate as an officer of the United States army. His Investigations bear out all 1 have said relative to the animals and reptiles of that region." Terrc Haute and St. Joseph, Trains

Mother and Child are Doing Well. Mrs. Brown was sick. Her friends saul she would never get well. "What's tho trouble!" "O, some kind of female weakness. The doctors have given up her case as hopeless. 'She may live lor boiuu time,' they say, 'but as for a cure, that is quite out of the question."

She certainly did not, with her red, plump cheeks, bright eyes, and 150 pounds of good health bone, blood and flesh. "I'm going to see her and tell her how she can get well." She did so. She advised Mrs. Brown to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Mrs. Brown took tho advice, also the medicine which cure? all kinds of delicate diseases so common among women, andgot well. That was two years ago. Last month she presented Mr. Brown with a ten pound son, and "mother and child are doing well.'^
