He is fortunate, however, in bet ing in politics instead of vaudeville, j If his ambitions took him into the , latter field the manager would tell 1

him to get some “new stuff." Mr. Watson last evening told four hundred or more Terre Hauteans that the present administration meant disaster, financial panic, soup houses and one or two other things usually hooked up with human misery. Mr. Watson demands that the next national platform of his party shall contain a plank favoring a high protective tariff for American industries. Generally, the election of Mr. Wilson has been interpreted as a protest of the American people against the high protective system. It is so considered in most quarters yet. There have been no noticeable indications that the people had changed their mind about refusing to pamper a few industries to the detriment of others and to the impoverishment of the people. In an address before the republican club of New York City, Jacob H. Schiff, head of the great banking house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., said a few days ago: “Standing here on holy republican ground, I say without fear or favor, if you renew in the next presidential campaign the tariff agitation of the past, if you threaten the country and show it you want a renewal of special privilege and high protection, the people will have none of it. The people haje learned; tlm. workmen and farmers have learned, and they cannot be misled any longer. I do not say that because 1 love the republican party less, but because I love it more.” These are strong words coming from a leading eastern republican, and they voice the sentiment of those not controlled by partisan prejudice. —Terre Haute Tribune.

Sees the Sahara Reclaimed. Some day tho world will get out of the Sahara all the good It has to offer. Among tho desert sands near I’iskra. last year, the French had over eight hundred wells giving life and fruitage to 1,500,000 date palms. There is a chance for immense development of tho date Industry all along the northern edge of the desert south of Morocco, Algeria and Tunis. Frank R. Cana a conservative and authoritative writer, says that in time probably a tenth of the Sahara will be reclaimed for human usefulness. • Regarding the Teeth. The teeth serve varied purposes. Tho four front teeth, or incisors, arc chisel-shaped In order that they may out or bite. This shape is also helpful in enunciation. The “eye" teeth, behind tho incisors, are bettor fitted for heavier cutting or biting than the front ones. They are a transition form between the incteors and the larger teeth, which stand next and which break the food into small bits before it is ground and pulverized by the solid back teeth. Electric Restaurants. A large mining company has Installed an electric restaurant 150 yards in from tho foot of the shaft In one of its mines. Here food is cooked or heated electrically, and hot coffeo is prepared by the same means. Siuco most of the important coal mines already uso electric power unlarground for power purposes, there should be little difficulty in establishing subterranean electric restaurants in any of them.

— Always Something to Learn, No man was ever endowed with a 1 ludgment so correct and judicious, but that circumstances, time and expert- > ance would toach him something new, . and apprise him that of those things I with which he thought himself the best acquainted he knew nothing; and that those ideas which in theory appeared the most advantageous were ’ found, when brought into practice, to be altogether impracticable.—Terence. Plant Study. The study of plant forms opens to as a world of grace, harmony and beauty that la not without influence tpon the esthetic feelings, and the ippreciatlon of art. Intimately involved as is the vegetable kingdom with the ever-changing aspects of na:ure, it is well fitted to attract the wind to the fine features of scenery »nd the grand effects of tho natural world.

It Might Be Tried.
