THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 2, 1893.

Thb question now before the people is whether the farmer baa any rights that the Demooratio politician is bound to reepiKJt. Not if the farmer raises sheep.

Thb com market continues to show more life than wheat, and the exports so far this year are 19,600,000 bushels, against 9,500,000 bushels for the same period last year.

"Ten Years of Civil Service Reform,' is the title of an article written for the November number of the North American Review, by President Charles Lyman, of the United States Civil Service Commission.

St. Nicholas means to tell its readers all abont the "Brownie man," Mr. Palmer Cox. An early number will contain an article giving an account of Mr. Cox, and telling how the Brownies were invented, where they live, and what their inventor looks like.

Db. Ernest Habt, editor of the British Medical Journal, said in a recent address before the New York Health AsHociation that the cholera is less to be dreaded than any other disease. It is perfectly controllable. It cannot be caught, andean only be eaten or drank.

The Supreme Court yesterday passed upon the validity of the bribery clause of the Australian ballot law, and held that the act is constitutional. Under the law a vote seller can bring action against the vote buyer and recover $300. The law has a depressing effect on the market. Now if we had a similar law to punish Senators and members of Congress who sell their votes for patronage Grover Cleveland would be compelled to go into bankruptcy.

The New York Journal of Commerce talis workingmen of all classes some plain and simple truths regarding wages. It says "It Is impossible that wages can escape a reduction more or less closely corresponding to the reduction in prices consequent upon the changes of duties. It a manufacturea has to sell an article at

The figures seem to demonstrate the effectiveness of the sugar bounty. In 1891-'92 the Treasury paid bounty on 358,000,000 pounds of sugar, and on 429,243,170 pounds last year. This year the Bureau of Internal Revenue figures that a bounty will be claimed for 691,449,000 pounds, which will mean a much bigger crop than was ever raised in the beet yearn before the war. The Louisianians thinks that if the bounty be allowed to run its stipulated term of fifteen years they will raise all the sugar the country needs.

A notable article, printed anonymously in the November Forum, contrasts the Senate of to-day with the Senate of the days of Webster, Clay and Calhoun. A classification of the present Senators, by six fair-minded judges, divides them into Senators of the old type, professional politicians, plutocrats, accidents and oddities, and old fogies. The history of individual" Senators, as revealed by an analysis of the "Congressional Directory" biographies,shows thut most of them lack the traditional qualifications of their high office:—the conclusion being that we pat politics on a lower level than our fathers did, thut we have as good a Senate as we deserve to have, and that its inferior personnel simply denotes the decline of politics as one of the noble professions.

Hon. John L. WixjSON, of Washington, delivered a speeoh in the House the other day on the bill to exclude the Chinese from our shores, oc rather the bill extending the Oeary Chinese exclusion law. It was a most eloquent and forceful plea in favor of the exclusion idea. In his peroration, with much impressiveness of manner, he said: "M r. Speaker, muBt we leave our country 10 tbe Co ur d' Alenes, the Spokanes, the No 1 Purees, to the YaVmas and the Columbia.*, that tbey, too, may lure back the retired bear from the distant forest to roam over our fruitful fields? When this character of legislation shall come to pass, may not the great West again become a lair for wild beasts and for savages, the graves of our parents be polluted, and the laces made holy by the first footsteps of pioneers become profaned by the orgies of narbarous Incantation. The evening wolf shall again howl on our hills and the echo of his yell again be heard around our waterfalls tho owl at noonday may roost on the high altars of devotion, 'and the fo* will look out of the window' upon the utter desolation caused by such legislation as has been attempted Hn this Congress against the great Wost. in that hour the gentlemen who have spoken against our Interest* can rise in their places and exclal 11 truthfully, as old Tristam Burses did, In reply to John Randolph: 'Bode, hod{«,

A VENERABLE TOAD.

It la Estimated That It Had I.Itp(1 Orer Four Thousand Years.

In laying the foundation of house In Whitesborouffh some fifty years ago the workmen had occasion to split a large stone from the millstone grit, says the Detroit Free Press. It was perfectly closo grained and compact. On oponing it, however, they discovered a black or dark brown spherical mass. This they removed and turned over, when to their unbounded surprise it proved to be a toad, much larger than the common species and of a very dark color. It was perfectly torpid, but after contact with the fresh air it began to show signs of life and to hop about In a heavy and ponderous manner. The workmen, being ignorant fellows, paid no attention to the toad, which hopped around the yard for several days and then disappeared. They laid the stone in the wall so that the cavity remained In sight for many years. The story was subsequently Investigated by scientists, who, from the testimony of several witnesses were satisfied of its truth.

The millstone grit is the oldest of the secondary rocks, and must have been formed many centuries before the deluge. It was supposed that the toad might have grown from an egg deposited through some minute cleavage in the rock, but no oleavage oould be found, and the only explanation possible is that the toad found its way into the grit while the latter was In aqueous solution, ovw fpnr thousand years ago: that grit hardened around it, and that it existed within the rock ever since.

A somewhat similar discovery was made while the Erie canal was being excavated. At that time when digging through a ridge of dry gravel the workmen came upon several hundred living mollusca of the mya cariosa and mya purpurea families. They oooked and ate a number, and found them very palatable. These living fossils were taken at a depth of forty-two feet from the surface of the earth.

MAGAZINE RIFLES IN WAR.

Effective in Skilled Hands, Rat Not Valuable for Raw Recruits. A belated report on the Chilian revolution of 1891 has been made to the navy department by Lieut. James H. Sears and Ensign B. W. Wells, Jr., of the navy, and the material has been collected in a pamphlet, and issued in a limited edition by the office of naval intelligence as No. 4 of the war series of information from abroad. The report, says the New Vork Herald, is prepared from personal observation, statements' of participants, official papers, and from presumably authentic publications. The publication is a oarefully-worded account of the operations on land and sea without the comment which has made previous numbers from this office interesting. The pamphlet will have a place in military libraries simply as a conveniently-ar-ranged account of the revolution. It gives a few details of strategic conditions and the development of the constitutional and opposing foroes. The book is illustrated by maps, charts, plans and copies of photographs. Official papers are reprinted. Including the reports on the sinking of the Blanco Encalada. There are six appendices, in whioh are included ourrent manifestoes, notes, etc. The only really important comment is that contained in the appendix on the Mannllcher rifle, which appears to have served the authors and the naval Intelligence office •with the sole suggestion deriTable from the Chilian revolution. The note illustrates, In the language of an unnamed "one who was with the army at the time," the disadvantages of magazine rifles In the hands of untrained men, And their remarkable efficiency after the troops become acquainted with the weapon.

BRAIN WORK AND VITALITY.

Hen Aocnatomed to Thinking Are Harder to Kill Ihu Other..

You may kill a man with anxiety very quickly but it is difficult to kill him with work, especially if he re tains the power, which most men of Intellectual occupations more or less possess, of sleeping nearly at will, and without torpor. The man who has used his brain all his life, say for six hours a day, has, in fact, trained his nerve power and placed it beyond the reach of early decay or that kind of feebleness which makes so many apparently healthy men succumb so readily to attacks of disease. Doctors know the differences among men in this respect quite well, says the London Speaker, and many of them acknowledge that the "habit of surviving" which they find in their first patients arises from two causes—one, which used to be always pleaded, be ing that soundness of physical constitution which some men enjoy by hereditary right, and the other, some recondite form of brain power, seldom exhibited, except under strong excitement, by any but those who throughout life have been compelled to think and, so to speak, use their thoughts as other men use their ligaments and muscles. If such a man is tired of life, medicine will not save him but, as a rule, his will, consciously or unconsciously, compels the trained ner^e power to struggle on. Whether the brain can actually give power to the muscles is not certain, though the enormous strength sometimes developed in a last rally looks very like it but that it can materially affect vitality is quite certain, and has been acknowledged by the experienced in all ages.

Domino Mathematics.

One of the most wonderful examples in mathematics is that relating to the various combinations in dominoes. Dr. Bern, a Frankfort (Germany) mathe matlclan of national reputation, has calculated that two persons playing the gamo ten hourB a day, and making lour moves in a minute, could continue one hundred and eighteen million years (118,000,000) without exhausting a.ll the combinations of the game, the total of which is 248,528,211,840.

Mrs. Will Russell, at Young's chapel, Monday. It takes a reasonable amount of charity and forbearance to get through life successfully, but it takes grace vs. grit to bo such a small personage as the ^country correspondent to the county newspaper.

The Sunday school convention held here Thursday, Oct. 26, was not largely attended on account of the inclemency of the weather. Nevertheless a bountiful repast was served at noon to which all did justice, but like the parable of old "The fragments taken up seemed to exceed tbe amount set out.
