About the first lie a liar or a lover tells is that he isn't fickle. The poet's "Into all lives some rain must fall” might well have been written in 1897.

There are some men who experience no greater enjoyment than sharpening a dull knife. When a man starts down hill people seem to take an interest in letting him go, out of curiosity, to see where he will land.

It is not difficult to make old people happy; show them someone twenty years older than themselves who is still in good health.

Cambridge, Mass., has been ten years without a saloon. It would be interesting to know just how Cambridge manages to carry on a municipal government.

A prematurely charitable English lady who gave away nearly St’.OOO.OOO by deed recently tried to have the deed set aside on the ground that she did not know what she was doing, but chancery has decided that the deeds »re valid and that she cannot get her money hack.

The government of Sweden has nottSed the Canadian government that Mr. Andree will start from Stockholm about the end of June for Spitzbergen to attempt his balloon voyage to the north pole, and it requests that instructions be given to Canadian officials at different points in the northwest territories and Hudson Bay region to report the balloon if it is sighted. The North Dakota house of representatives passed by a vote of forty-four to five a bill requiring strangers who go there to obtain divorce® to remain four times as long as under the present law. The senate rejected it by a vote of fifteen to fourteen. The slight advance toward a less shameful condition of things fails, but the vote indicates an awakening in behalf of decency.

The following is the capitalization of a few' of the leading trusts and combinations: Sugar trust $75,000,000; coal trust, $85,000,000; cottonseed-o'l trust, $20,000,000; wall-paper trust, $20,000,000; lead trust, $30,000,000; rubber trust, $50,000,000; linseed-oil trust, $18,000,000; match trust, $8,000,000; schoolfurniture trust, $15,000,000; type trust, $6,000,000; dressed beef and provision trust, $100,000,000; condensed milk trust, $15,000,000; straw-board trust, $6,000,000; leather trust, $125,000,000. It is asserted by the defenders of "trusts” that in almost every instance the formation of a trust has been followed by a decrease in the price of the product. This is true; but in most instances trusts have been formed to check the downward tendency of prices by interfering with the operation of the law of supply and demand. Probably there is no conspicuous instance of lower prices following the organization of a trust, in which the prices to the consumer would not have fallen still lower if the trust had not been formed. The greatest objection to trusts is that they are wrong in principle, in that they interfere with u fundamental law of trade. Only persons under thirty years of age were ready to accept promptly Harvey's great discovery of the circulation of the blood; and just as youth is most apt to respond to the touch of genius, so men of rare abilities seldom fail of the spirit of perpetual youth. Keeping young is simply keeping abreast with the times we are in. At the recent anniversary in New York City of the founding of Stevens Institute, ex-Mayor Hewitt related this incident: "When 1 was a student at Columbia, base ball was our only game, and not such a detriment to a college as it is to-day. We lost most of our balls by knocking them over into a yard of a house in Barclay street. One day when we were short and could not get any base balls, I was appointed a committee of one to visit the house and ask for some. A gentleman appeared in answer to my question. and producing a basket containing twenty-five or thirty balls, asked if they were ours. I said that I supposed they were. 'Every one of them has broken a window in my house,’ he rejoined. You may take them, and when you have all the windows in my musicroom broken, come over to Hoboken and there you shall have a fair Held.’ That man was the greatest mechanical engineer, the .greatest naval engineer, the greatest railroad engineer which the nineteenth century has produced.— KoBert L Stevens.” "A man in office,” says a well-known statesman, "who can bring himself to utter the simple form of words. That Is wrong,' may carry his point in council, though everybody be against him.” Such initiative courage was recently exercised by the trustees of the public library in Newark, in excluding certain notorious specimens of the new journalism from its tables; and the contagion of its example has spread rapidly through scores of the prominent libraries and elub-houses of the country. To have set the fashion Is, in this instance, no small honor.

FREED BY BROTHER'S DEATH. An Immigrant Who Waa Not Sent Iter It. Two immigrants who have been detained on Ellis Island pending the sailing of the ships that brought them here, when they were to he deported, have gained the freedom of these shores, one through the suicide of his brother, who had sought his release, and the other through the force of a written plea which he had sent to the commissioner of immigration, says the New York Herald. Andras Kadalcheck is an Austrian and reached this country in the steerage of the steamship Aller. I’pon examination it was brought out that he was a violator of the alien contract labor law, and an order was issued to deport him. Pending its execution Mlhaly Kodalcheck, his brother, hastened here from Siegfried, Pa., and through a lawyer succeeded in obtaining a stay. Mihaly put up at the landsman hotel over night, and was instructed by his counsel to appear on Ellis island the next forenoon. Mr. Gottlieb was there on time but his client was not. After a long wait the lawyer called up the hotel by by telephone and asked that Mihaly be awakened and sent to the island. The reply came back: "The man is dead.” Mihaly had been suffocated by gas during the night. The hotelkeeper said that the man was under the influence of liquor when he retired. The police do not believe that the gas was turned on accidentally, and think that Mihaly committed suicide. Andras was so much affected by the news of his brother's death that Commissioner Senner took pity on him. and, cutti*g short the rehearing, allowed the man to land. Giuseppe Mintelio is an Italian and arrived here in the steerage of the steamship Victoria recently. The man is fairly well educated, but, having no money, it was ordered that he be sent back and instructions were given to place him on board the Bolivia, which it put to sea. In the meantime, Mintelio had written his plea and had written it so well that Dr. Sender was moved to rescind his decision. The Bolivia was just casting otf her lines when a telephone message from Ellis island was received and Guiseppe was put ashore.

PREPARED FOR EMERGENCIES. Why It Is That One Itiryrle Itider Carrl€*» Mnnry. For tw r o days Grim has been getting his wheel in shape for the warm weather campaign, says the Detroit Free Press. "I’m getting pretty well along in years,” he said, in discussing the matter, "and was a little slow in accepting the bicycle as something to be encouraged, but now I come pretty near being a crank. I’m fixing this machine up as a jeweler w-ould a watch. I know where every tool is and what it’s for. But there’s something else. See this little pocket here inside my bicycle coat? See how this strong itrap of cloth buckles over it, and noice the lining of chamois. That’s for money; an emergency fund that is nev2r to be disturbed until I come face to face with the emergency. Now, I’ll explain. Last summer 1 grew ambilious and made a long run into the country. 1 tim0d myself wrong and started home a trifle late. I was scorching through the main street of a ittle town out here when a big fellow -ushed to the middle of the road, spread lis legs like a colossus, threw his arms nit and yelled ’Halt!’ I halted and vas promptly informed that I owed $2 or riding without a lamp. I tried to ‘xplain, but the big constable was not here for argument. Then 1 took the ground that he couldn’t fine me and hat I at least had the right to a trial. You're tried now,’ he roared, ’an’ bund guilty. Didn’t I ketch you at it? s there any lantern hitched to that ile velocipede of yours? You settle >r go inter th' calerboose. You can’t •ome 'round here tellin' me nuthin’ bout the ordinances of this here corVration.’ My chief trouble was that had no money. I had left home with /ery little, and there are roadhouses in that route. After a long plea I got he officer to hold my bicycle for se•urity till I could come to Detroit for money. Then I broke for the station, where there was a train soon due! But it came upon me like a 1,000 volt shock that it takes cash to ride on railroads. 1 left my $150 watch with the agent before I could get a ticket. If such a thing should occur again there will be money right here in this littl» pocket.” Reward* That Are Sure but Slaw. "The rewards of honesty and un swerving principle are sometimes slow but that in the end they are sure, anc greater for their slow coming, admits of no question," writes Edward W. Bolin "Problems of Young Men,” in thi I-adies’ Home Journal. "Our principles are sometimes severely tested but this testing is given us with a purpose Holding fast to honorable prlnciplei is the basis upon which all sure successes are built. Some have to pasi through more Are than others, but ] firmly believe that the reward in tin end is the greater to those. What tin world says of a man matters little in such a struggle.

MR. BAILEY OF TEX AS.

A YOUNG LEADER OF WHOM DEMOCRACY IS PROUD. A Keen ami Deftervlng rolith-lan — He Is Thirty-Three Yeasr Old and the Choice of the Young Men in the House. (Washington Letter.) HE selection of Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, as the Democratic candidate for speaker of the house of representatives emphasized peculiarly the action of the Chicago o o n v e n tion last fall. That convent i o n no minated William J. Bryan. 36 years old, as its candidate for the Presidency. The nomination fired the hearts of the young Democracy of the South and West. They went into the campaign with zest and zeal born of a power almost religious. It was the reflex of the wave in the United States senate, where young men had come to the front to stay. They are there to-day, and their number there is increasing. Antiques in polities are being sent to the back seats. The young element has also discovered i's power in the house, and has asserted it without regard to precedent. It takes a genuine delight in burying precedent. It is the same element that has astounded the grave and reverend seigniors of the senate for the last four years. It is now showing its strength in the house of representatives. This it is that makes the selection of Mr. Bailey significant. The independent course taken by Dubois, Hansbrough. Alien, Kyle, Mantle. Pritchard, Wilson and others with unsilvered hair in the senate is finding its echo in the other wing of the eapitol. The Democratic members are the first to respond by choosing Joseph W. Bailey as their candidate for speaker. The selection carried with it the leadership of the minority on the floor.

win their affection, as Caesar won the affections of the Tenth legion by his campaigns in Gaul. There are dangerous defiles from which to debouch and perilous heights to climb. Ambuscades are to be feared, and there are unfordahle rivers to cross. Some fear that the young leader will be vain and conceited, if not self-opinionated. They say that he is more fitted to play the role of Apollo than that of Mars. His record in the house of representatives, however, is good. He inherits to a great extent the conceptions and ideas of that old exemplar of Texas political philosophy, John H. Reagan. Indeed, it sometimes looks as though the young Texan had taken Reagan for his mentor. Through whatever canyon he is marching, or over whatever crags in politics he is climbing, he keeps his eye on the Constitution. It is to him the ark of the covenant. Wherever there is the slightest doubt as to the constitutionality of a measure he vigorously attacks it. For instance, he does not believe that congress has a constitutional right to charter corporations, and he has inflexibly set his face against such measures. Class legislation is his abomination. He has introduced resolutions abolishing the retired list in the navy, and he probably regards the retired list of the army with the same disfavor. If he had it in his power there is no doubt but what he would wipe out both lists. A keen and discerning politician, he has won the confidence of his younger associates. Indeed, they regard him with enthusiasm. They will support him heartily and without reserve. The veterans, however, will be harder to manage. They may fry to wrest the leadership from him when important measures are being considered. It will be difficult, however, for them to do this while Thomas B. Reed is speaker of the house. Mr. Reed's recognition of Bailey as the leader of the minority will have great weight in making him the real leader. Mr. Reed has treated the young Texan with marked fa/or. When he announced his committees last year, Mr. Bailey appeared as a member of the judiciary and elections committees and also of the committee on revision of the laws. Speaker Reed made him one of the six Dem-

JOSEPH W. BAILEY.

That Bailey could walk off with the prize, with siii'li veterans as McMlllin and Llano in competition, may excite surprise, hut it is by no means astonishing. The old members failed to see the cloud on the horizon. They relied too much on the .trength of terras of service. Gen. Henderson, of Illinois, made the same mistake when a candidate for clerk in the last house of representativea. Bailey's friends, with very few exceptions, were men youthful and brighteyed, without tufts of gray moss on their chins and without rheumatic pains in their joints. They worked night and day. while the veterans were asleep. Intuitively feeling I heir power, they gathered and used it

with irresistible force.

Bailey is 33 years old. His youthful friends pointed to his age with pride. They regarded it as an element of strength, and not as a weakness. They recalled the fart that Napoleon commanded the army of Italy when he was only 26. but they seem to have forgotten that Vorgneaud, the chief of the Girondists, led his party to ruin and lost his own head when at the same nge of Bailey. A veteran senator, on hearing of Bailey’s nomination, said: "Well, the urchins are on top. There are two roads before them. One is to Tophet and the other to a glorious victory.” Which they will take time will develop. The march may be as destructive as the march of the Marseillais to Paris, and it may tie as glorious as the march of the battalions headed

by Carnot at Martigny.

Certain it is that Bailey has aplomb, dignity and boldness. He is resourceful and tactical. An excellent speaker, polished in manner, logical if not versatile, and of a pleasing presence, he must attract attention. The galleries will be more than ever charmed with him, but the veterans of the house will be apt to be cynical and skeptical as to his judgment. They will hardly follow his leadership with alacrity. If It is tempered with good judgment he mav

ocratlc members of the committee on judiciary. This gave Texas two places on that committee, David B. Culberson, of that state, being the leader of | the minority, having served as chair-

! man for many years.

A marked evidence of the speaker's [ favor was shown on the death of exSpeaker Crisp. His death left a vaj cancy in the committee on rules. To the astonishment of the house Mr. Reed placed Mr. Bailey in the vacancy. This was of itself either a distinctive mark of the personal confidence of Thomas B. Reed or a recognition on the part of the speakei of young Bailey as a Democratic leader. Bailed had served

R. P. BLAND. only two terms in the house. Ills selection looked liked marked discourtesy to Gen. Thomas C. Catchings, of Mississippi. who had been a member since March 4, 7885, and who had served on the tommittee on rules through Mr. Crisp's term as speaker. When Mr. Reed appointed his committee on rules at the beginning of the Fifty-fourth congress he put Benton McMlllin in the place occupied by Gen. Catchings. This was strictly in line with precedent, McMillin having served sixteen years in the house, but when Crisp died he set

aside all precedent by appointing Mr. Bailey. But the most marked sign of Mr. Reed's preferment for Mr. Bailey was shown at the beginning of this extra session. The Texan had never been a member of the ways and means committee, yet the speaker placed him at the head of the minority on this committee, jumping McMillin and other Democrats who had served many years upon it. Thus Hailey's six years of service have brought him more honor than the eighteen years spent by McMillin in the house. There are men who are so ungenerous as to aver that Speaker Reed made this appointment with the view of fomenting disturbances in the Democratic party. Mr. Bailey is, however, no political Beelzebub, as some of the conservative Democrats seem to have imagined. The antiques may not be taken into his confidence, and at times he may treat them unceremoniously, but he probably has too much good sense and judgment to worry or to gaff them. Mr. Bailey is tall, long-haired, blueeyed, classic-featured, and of a pink and white complexion. His face, like that of Bryan—and, for that matter, including McKinley and Reed—is smooth shaven. He is big-boned, and in process of time may reach the proportions of Gov. Hubbard and Gov. Hogg, if not of Speaker Reed. He wears a black sombrero, a Byronic collar, a black Irock coat and a low-cut vest, showing an expansive shirt front with a silk watch guard across the bosom. His shoes are always neatly polished, and his trousers of the finest broadcloth. Winter and summer he appears in the dress of a statesman. The new leader is sure to attract attention in more ways than one before the adjournment of the Fifty-fifth congress. An army of young Democrats have their eyes upon him as the representative of the younger element of the party. Hr voices their aspirations and their desires. He has aspired to the leadership of this element in the house and has won it fairly and squarely. If his judgment keeps pace with his ambition and the hopes of his friends he is destined to far greater political preferment. The people, however, will keep their eyes upon the born leader of the minority of the house. He is a veteran of experience in the field of legislation, and no novice. He will wield the meataxe of political philosophy, and not the crochet needle ot constitutional sophistry. He is no lawyer, but has been a miner in the gulches, and is now an honest farmer. And his name, it is Richard P. Bland. He is the Coeur da Lion of the Democratic party in both the house and senate. AMOS J. CUMMINGS.

A DOCTOR'S MESSENGER. How a Mi'iitlen Physician Saves No End of Time ami Traveling:. The city physician’s clientele, as a rule, is compactly located, but the country physician practices over a large extent of territory. He is quite likely to have two patients critically ill, and each living a like distance from the doctor’s own home. Easily it will be seen that paying daily calls and keeping posted with sick persons scattered about like that becomes almost an impossibility. These conditions confronted Dr. Chas. L. Lang, of Meriden, N. Y.. for many a long year, and he cudgeled his brain to some purpose in finding a way to help himself. The homing pigeon solved the problem. He has a regular service between his patients and himself. The doctor has found time to keep up on medical topics, take good care of his patients and cultivate pigeons, all three very successfully. There is nothing difficult about it after all. In the first place, the doctor sends to each patient about whose condition he wishes to be posted, one or more of the carrier pigeous. Some member of the family has blanks which must be filled in with detailed records of time, pulse, temperature and respiration. A blank filled, it is enclosed in an aluminum capsule made to clasp on the pigeon's leg. This done, the bird is released and at once speeds away to the home of the waiting physician, at the rate of one mile a minute. In this way Dr. Lang is enabled to keep thoroughly in touch with his patients at a distance, with about one-fifth the amount of travel he would have to endure under other circumstances. Not only that, hut he is really much better posted, because it would often happen that he would be unable to pay vists at all, and so perhaps would miss seeing a sick person at just the time when he most needed. Now he can go away from home to visit patients and feel sure that when he returns reports will be waiting him from others. Should these reports tell him that a call from him is an absolute necessity, why then he goes and that is ail there is of it. “It is the best,” says Dr. Lnng, "when establishing a loft of these feathered messengers, to begin with a few pairs of breeders, which should be kept confined to the loft, with an outside covered aviary if possible, to give them access to the ground. The pigeons, if allowed their liberty are apt to fly away, no matter how long they have been in prison. Do not try to train the birds until they are four months old. Then take them a mile or two from home in different directions. Increase the distance proportionately from one to two hundred miles for the birds in the first season’s work. Hard Up.

A Trirk in -Selling Itntterlne. J. H. Monrad. in a recent communication to the Chicago Inter Ocean,

says:

The national law demands that packages be plainly marked, and yet in a prominent store on Madison street, not very far from La Salle street, oleomargarine was displayed in boxes, the stamps and stencils on which, if any, were hidden from view, and all were marked such names ae "Elgin,” five pounds for $1; "Wisconsin,” five pounds for seventy-five cents, etc. Being all colored like June butter, ninety-nine out of one hundred passers-by would naturally take it to be butter. I have looked at this window for several weeks with considerable suspicion, even though at times the prices quoted were about the same as for Elgin butter. Yesterday I noticed in the Chicago Record that the revenue officials declined to take up a case against this firm, as they thought it "an attempt to make capital for the passage of the bill now pending at Springfield for the prohibition of the sale of oleomargarine in Illinois.” As I understand it, theie is no such bill pending, but there is one prohibiting its being colored in imitation of butter. Although I have been identified with the dairy interest for fully twenty years, I have never denied that well-made oleomargarine is a perfectly healthful and legitimate •ubstitute for butter if it is honestly sold and served for what it is. This by the way of proof that I am perfectly unprejudiced in the matter, I thought, however, I would judge for myself yesterday (March 31) by stepping into the Madison street store above referred to, and this is what took place: Stepping up to the counter I asked, “What is that Elgin?” Salesman: "One dollar for five pounds or 22 cents per pound.” Query: “I mean is it butter or oleomargarine?” Salesman: “Couldn't swear to that.” Query: “What? Don't you know whether it is ' butter or oleomar-

garine?”

Salesjnan: “No, couldn’t swear to that. Do you want some?” Query: "1 want a pound of Elgin

butter.”

The salesman wrapped up a print, 1 paid for it at the cashier’s desk, and then opened it up, finding "Oleomargarine” stamped on a corner of the pa- | per, evidently folded in with the in- j tention of hiding the stencil. I stepped up to the salesman and •aid: “I see you told me a lie.” Salesman: “How is that?” “I asked for butter and the wrapper I shows it is oleomargarine.” Salesman: "That don’t prove it is not butter. It is butter—b-u-t-t-e-r.” He then said something about my being caught in my own trap, and I ! left, taking the name and address of a gentleman who bought five pounds “Wisconsin,” and who can testify to what passed. Now, the law on stamping and branding is certainly meant to pro- | tect the consumers, and I leave It to you, Mr. Editor, if the average buyer —not posted—is likely to be fooled or not. How many would be hunting for the stencil folded up, as it was, in a corner? I have hitherto not been tn favor of the anti-color law, but In view of such incidents as this, it does seem that it is high time to do some- ! thing to protect consumers against all fraudulent sales, and that the anticolor law is the only effective one. To show how much the poor people are benefited by this traffic I may mention that the same price, $1 for five pounds, was quoted on this kind of "Elgin” when the market was 18 cents. 1 hope the Inter Ocean will keep on championing honest butter and honest, pure food in general. Yours truly, J. H. Monrad.

American Hotter Improving.

The quality of American butter is Improving every year, says N. Y. Journal of Commerce. We do not begin to have the amount of poor butter that we had a few years ago. In fact, much of our butter is better than some that is made in districts in England, particularly as regards the percentage of water. There is no official information as to the proportion of water in New York state butter, but about ten year* ago a test was made of twenty creameries in this state in the month of June, which showed an average percentage of water or brine for the whole of about 9.50 ner cent, a very few reaching 12 and 13 per cent, and one as high as 15 per cent, while several were below the average, one being as low as 6 per cent. It should be taken into consideration that the test was made in June, when butter contains a larger percentage of water or “pickle” than at almost any other season of the year, as the cattle in May and June are feeding on new grass. This test was made ten years ago. Since then the quality of butter, as I have just said, has been steadily improving. 1 do not think that a test of twenty creameries now at the same season of the year, would show as high an average, in the case of winter-made butter, of which a large i quantity is produced now-a-days, 1 ! doubt whether the percentage would , exceed 5 or 6 per cent. The producer I has found that it does not pay to fill his butter with water or "pickle,” for dealers will not accept it, and he has |

to bear the loss.

“ Mother.”

But in all her loving preparations for the expected little guest, ta mother is liable to forget that her own health and physical condition is the most importsant provision which can possibly be made for the baby's happiness. If the prospective mother is weak, nerv- . ous and anxious, this Icondition is bound to / react on the baby’s 'constitution. Nodain tiness of wardrobe will compensate for the loss of the natural, healthy vigor which a mother should bestow upon her baby. 1 As early as possible during gestation, the expectant « mother should reinforce her bodily pewera with the sustaining, healthbringing influence of Dr. Fierce’s Favorite
