FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1894. The Festival Daj. t Once more the holiday so dear to every Christian 19 at hand and the youthful heart was filled with anticipation over what bauta Clause placed in the capacious stocking. Tuesday morning witnessed the anxiety which has possessed the juvenile breast tor weeks and which had gained the mastery over every dther aspiration. Sauta Clau9 can always be depended upon to look upon the boys and girls of the rich and well-to-do, but the poor are not sure oi his generosity. As the festival was chiefly for the little ones it behooved those who pould to see thfct its gifts are equally distributed and that the humblest were not overlooked. Charity is the handmaid of relfgion and gd. Christmas more than at any one other time should the one supplement the other. It therefore should be the duty of those who have been blessed with abundance during the year to see that those who are face to face with pri vat-ion do not hunger ou the day that . our Lord came among men to save them. The Christmas turkey was eaten with for more relish by the man or woman who }tad pontributed to the happiness of a poor family that can be extracted by the liard-hear:ed and dost-fisted person of means who is deaf to the entreaties of the unfortunate upon this festival of preseut-giv-ing and merry-making.

Soldiers Home Bill. The bill‘providing for the establishment of a State soldiers’ home has been prepared by Senator Haggard, member of the G. A. R. committee and ohairmari of tho finance committee of the Senate. It provides that before the State shall pay over any money the city of Lafayette shall deed to it the land to be usee.. The home shall be governed by five trustees, to be appointed by the governor, not more lhau three of whom shall be nt any one political party. The bill fi$ed the salary of the commandant at $1,200 and that of the adjutant at $1,000. This is one ot the first bills which the General Assembly will be asked to consider. To Repeal the Differential Duty. Chairman Wilson, of the ways and means committee, last Friday introduced iu the House a bill repealing that portion of the new lariff act which imposes a differential duty of one-teuth-of 1 cent per pound on sugars Imported from countries paying a bounty on sugar exported. The repeal of this duty was urged by President Cleveland in his annual message. Its incorporaUon in the tariff bill has been stated tob^ one of the reasons given by the German government for the prohibition ot the Importation of American meats into th^t popntry. We Mean it. We desire that all scubcribers to The Democrat call, betweeu now and January 20th, and l>av for the past year’s subscription. We need money, and need it bad.

Thirty-Fourth Your. Our friend William Liibs, proprietor of the City bakery and restaurant, was inviegled from Ids place of business last Thursday night, and during his absence some thirty of his friends at ihe invitation of his wife secreted themselves in a room. Upon his return to the store be went back to see one of his friends whom he supposed was waiting for him, but instead found about thirty of the boys who proceeded at once to let him know .that he had arrived at the age of thirty-four years. The geutlomen were iuyited to the parlor upstairs where elegant refreshments were served to the guests by the host and hostess. It was a pleasant hour spent and all enjoyed the occasion. May they live loug and prosper is the wish of all. __ Must be Recognized. Immediately after the late elections a correspondent, more as a joke .than tor any other reasou, sent a story out from Washington to tho effect that the negroes intended to demand that ono of their preachers be elected Chaplain of the next house. The story was widely commented on, and has resulted iu the production of a negro candidate for Chaplain of the house, although there is uo reasou to suppose that such, a thing had ever been thought of before that little story was writteu. There are numerous reasons why the republicaus in tho uext house may hesitate about turning that negro candidate dowu. State Board of Agricultural Meeting. The state board of agriculture, at its meeting, January 8, will hear au address of welcome by Governor Matthews and a talk by Mayor Denny on “The Slate Fair; what it is: What it should be and What it Will be.” W.

Injured by Falling Stone,. Last Thursday forenoon John Smith, who is employed as a miner in the Borer coal mines north of the city, met with an accident. A large piece of soap-stone fell from the roof in the room In which he was working and fell on him, knocking him down and dislocating his left hip. He immediately brought out of the mine and taken to his home, where Drs. Byers and Liuk reduced the dislocation. He is now getting along nicely and witt soou be able to go to work agaiu. Laud Assessments. The various township assessors will appraise the lands of the county this coming spring. It is right and just that an equitable assessment be made.. There is no question but that the lands of Pike county are assessed at too low a figure taken as a whole. In many sections land is appraised at figures that do not warrant it, while in other sections the reverse is dono. Raise the assesment and fnake it more equal the county over, taking into consideration the quality of laud aud various advantages to market. Times Hare (Dhaqged.

The Progress of Science. A young Buflalo electrician is said to have accidentally discovered a new style of transmitter which vocalizes a message seut by telegraph so that the receiver hears the human voice voice,instead of the ordinary clicking. Meanwhile Gen. Greely is developing his flying telegraph corps for army work in the field. He says that with a bimetallic wire lying ou wet grass, without insulatiou, telephonic communication may be conducted between points half a mile apart. The science of acoustic, once considered a brauch of physics, is full of modern wouders and surprising possibilities. Noue of That Class Hefe. He was an old croaker, he loved to complain, in winter of snow, in summer of rain, he growled if ’twas wet; he growled if ’twas dry ; he growled when a youngster, he’s still growling yet, then hurry him off and bury him deep, for he always will grumble, awake or asleep. Go make his lone grave where the bumble bee bums, where the straddle bug straddles and and the humming bird hums, where the katydid did what she wauted to do, and the green bottle fly used to fly when he flew. A Novel Outfit. Last Friday on Maiu street opposite the court house might have been seen a covered wagon on the sides ol which was the words “scissors ground,” and on the back end “The People’s Party.” The occupant of the wagon was a man advanced some what in years and had taken this inode to travel about the country and make his living. He was well prepared for work in his line having a complete outfit for sharpening all kinds of cutlery besides doing repairing work of small articles.

The various “optical illusions’* by means of which straight lines are caused to appear crooked and objects of equal size are rendered, to all appearance, deeidedly unequal are more or less familiar to every reader, but there are other striking deceptions of the senses that are not so frequently experimented with. A French savant has recently pointed out several surprisingly easy ways in which we are misled in our perception of heat and cold and of pressure. A simple and convincing experiment of this kind may bo tried in the following manner: Take two silver dollars and placo one of them upon a marble table or mantel, while the other is rubbed briskly between the hands. In this manner a slight difference of temperature between the two pieces of metal will be produced. Then ask some one to incline his head backward,, closing his eyes. Lay the warm dollar upon his forehead for a moment, remove it and quickly substitute the cold one. You will hardly bo able to oonvinoe him that they are of equal weight The cold piece always seems to be much heavier than the other. The explanation of this phenomenon is that the metal whioh has been rubbed between the hands has assumed nearly the temperature of the body, and whon it is placed upon the forehead the sense of touch is affected by the pressure alone. But the metal which has been cooled, boing at a lower temperature than the skin, affects the sense in a doublo manner, and the subject of tiie experiment, not being able to distinguish clearly between the effects, instinctively ascribes the entire sensation to pressure alone.— Youth’s Companion.

Drew the Line u Colonels. “One summer, ” said Colonel William M. Ollin at a college fraternitydinner, “a few years after the war, Colonel Higginson was traveling in the south, and he got to talking with a farmer in sonje little town who was employing a considerable number of men at his haymg. The farmer told Colonel Higginson that most of them were old Confederate soldiers. “ ‘You see over there where those four men are working?’ asked he. ‘Well, all of ’em fought in the war. One of ’em was a private, one of ’em was a corporal, one was a major, and that man ’way over in the comer was a colonel. ’ “ ‘Are they good men?’ asked Colonel Higginson. “ ‘Well, ’ said the farmer, ‘that private’s a first class man, and the eorporal’s pretty good too. ’ “ ‘But how about the major and the colonel?’ > “‘The major’s so so,’ said the farmer. “ ‘But the colonel?’ “ ‘Well, I don’t want to say nothin against any man who was a colonel in the war, ’ said the farmer, ‘but I’ve made up my mind I won’t hire no brigadier generals. ’ ’’—Boston Herald. __ Tm In Tibet.' Mrs. Bishop (Isabella Bird) was invited out to tea while in Tibet. She gives a recipe for the way in which tea is made in that country. Fqj six persons boil a teacupful of tea in three pints of water for ten minutes with a heaping dessertspoonful of soda. Put the infusion into a chum with one pound of butter and a small tablespoonful of salt. Churn until as thick as cream. Mrs. Bishop adds that Tibetans prize butter for its age —40, 50 or even 60 years old.—New York Times. The Duke of Marlborough and the famous'lSarah Jennings fought like Kilkenny cats.
