Can’t we have a Bryanless Democracy? That would be ho much more welcomed than many other—less things. Someone has proposed to build a mausoleum where Jefferson, Jackson, Tilden and Bryan can be interred. It’s a question which would object the most. Considered all the way from Santiago to Columbia, it is evident that the Navy Department is Buffering from a case of “too much Crown inshield.” A New’Jersey preacher says that he can cast the devil out of women. Probably the only reason he hasn’t hung out his sign, is that no women will admit that they have any. An English locomotive thirtj years dfd is still in service, causing thereby great pride in British bosoms. As a matter of fact, they ought to be ashamed to use such a pathetically behind the times old nfacbine. Engines built ten years ago are as much out of date today aS' are bows and arrows. The Steel Trust is certainly wi'hin its rights when it insists that, before it begins to negotiate, the Amalgamated Association shall be incorporated so that it can be sued for breach of contract, in case it does not keep its agreements. It is not denied that the members of that association have deliberately violated their contracts in the present strike. Singular! So far as we have heard Mr, Bryan is to speak nowhere this year. Hill is ace high in Ohio; Gorman leads the procession in Maryland; Virginia doesn’t want any voice from tbe tombs in her fall campaign; and even Tammany, with the fight of its life on its hands, hasn’t called On Mr. Bryan to help it obt. What has come to the old man? A few years ago, when employers first recognized the unions and signed contracts with them, under which the men agreed to work at a given rate of wages for a given time, the fact was hailed as a great victory for labor. Now these same contracts are denounced in many quarters by men who declare they are mere traps to prevent sympathetic strikes. In too many cases it appears that the men want contracts that bind only one partj’ to the bargain.

HALF A MAN. When a man is sick and can only work half the time he is practically half a man. It reouires his whole physical energy to do half a man’s work. In general the weak run down condition which cuts the strength and energy in half is due to disease of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. \ „ You could not expect a half V** starved man to work more than half the time, The condition of the man with weak stomach is that of the half starved man.

He Stoped the Paper.

Years ago, the late “Barney” Lantry took offense at something. W./iA. Morgan, editor of the Chase County (Kan.) Leader, had published and wrote him: “Stop the paper and send me the trill.” The Senator locked up th- office and sent him the key with a bill for $3,000. “Barney” was bluffed and wrote back that he simply wanted the copy of the paper coming to him stopped.

Hicks for September.

Weat her guesser, Rev. Irl R. Hicks, says in his September number of World and Works that the month maycome in as August goes out—in a storm period. He does not affirm that the storm will come but says they may do so, there being sufficient reasons to believe they will. It is his belief that if barometric depressions do not appear in the Gulf regions September first, the weather over the interior will remain warm and dry up to the time for the regular equinoctial storms. About the time of the moon’s last quarter reactionary storms will appear and new storm ardas will be observed advancing from the equator. There will be the usual perturbing influences felt at the time of the equinox, Sept. 22nd, when atmospheric condition undergo the changes called “weather breeding” and are apt to result in a storm. There will be possible storms of a violent nature from the 9th to 13th and tidal waves along the Gulf coast will be high the 12th to 13th. The interior of the continent will likely be visited by rain and wind storms, storms assuming proportions of gales at this time. The reactionary storm period from the 16th to 17th will raise the thermometer and bring warmer weather, but no great disturbances are looked for as the equinoctial storms due the 22nd, the danger period being from the 21st to 24tn, but the West India storms are more likely to become violent from the 26th to 30th. At the close of the storm period if frost and signs of winter visit the northern portions those who follow his predictions will

White, ambassador to Berlin, and Mark Twain has just reached this side. The humorist’s aversion to the German language is well known. His diatribe against it is a classic. Now Mr. White, while an excellent German scholar, speaks the language with a noticeable accent. The story hinges on these points. It was at a reception, and Mr. 1 White, partly in sport, confined his conversation with the author wholly to German. ! “I am glad to see,” Interrupted the novelist,“that you appreciate German." "I did until I read your abusive article upon the subject,” remarked the ambassador. “I am now thinking of returning to English.” ' “How grateful the Germans must be,” was the reply.

THE SPORTING WORLD.

The story of two deer dying with antlers locked in light Is literally true, though generally supposed a fabrication and too often published because believed such, says a correspondent of the San Francisco Chronicled There are iu the museums of the country many pairs of antlers found In the field so tightly locked that it is impossible for one person to separate .them. The peculiar angles of the numerous branches of the horns of a deer make it quite possible for them to lock when driven together at high velocity, because the flexibility of even the thickest horn is much greater than one would imagine. In one ease the two deer were found before decay had set in. but I know of no case in which the combatants were found before starva-

ANTLERS LOCKED IN BATTLE.

tion had done its work and no case where the horns were ever seen to lock. A fight between two bucks in which a lock is liable at any’ moment to occur is by no means uncommon, and many a hunter has seen that. In the fall several buekg often follow the same doe, and if any of them meet there is liable to be a disturbance of friendly relations. Many a hunter has shot several of these on the same trail, but they are generally a hundred yards in space and several minutes in time apart. But occasionally’ it is the other way, and two or even more may arrive on the disputed carpet at the same time. Some fun is liable to result when they do. although it is only on very rare occasions that it results in a death lock of the horns.

The Qneen of Skiers. Miss Freda Knagen, a charming and athletic brunette of Christiania, Is the only woman living who has eclipsed all male rivals in any branch of athletics. At the great ski-ing competition held last year at Holmenkollen she cleared the astounding distance of feet in a single jump, leaving the highest previous record 16 feet In arrear. The course at Holmenkollen, on the outskirts of Christiania, is the scene of the championship contests in the Swedish national sport. The course, which Is of snow, deep, crisp and firm, slopes upward from a frozen lake at a sharp angle to the height of 160 feet. Twothlrds of the way down the course there is a platform, from which there is a vertical drop of 30 feet. The competitor, with his wooden runuers strapped to his feet, slides rapidly down the crevice, acquiring momentum with every yard of the descent until he literally Illes drfwn the slope with the speed of an express train. When he reaches the "hop,” he takes a flying leap in the air, lands skillfully after a flight of from 50 feet to 100 feet on the soft snow, and at a still higluAspeed, due to the momentum of his leap, flashes down the rest of the course and sails away over the flat surface of the lake until, by a dexterous turn, he comes to a stop.

Snyder on I’ltctiinß - . “Pitching in these days seems to be confined to one specialty, and that Is throwing the ball,” says ’.'barley Snyder. “Of course we have several fine fielding pitchers in the big league today, but for all around wqrk, such as batting, base running and fielding, where can we find the equals of Bobby Caruthers, Dave Foutz and those association pitchers of the eighties? Why, when Bobby Caruthers was uot called on to pitch he was played In the outfield for his batting, being one of the timeliest batsmen on the team. Dave Foutz was also one of Commie’s outfielders when he was not twirling. This pair of pitchers alternated In the outfield. Many a game did they win out, single handed, you might say. That Is, when a timely bit was needed to tie or win, Bobby or Foutz was oftsn there with the goods. Ask a pitcher in this League today to double up In the outfield, and he would fall, knocked out enough to have ten seconds counted over him. ‘Old Hoss’ Radbourne often played the outfield for Providence, and it was a home run hit by Rad that won the Providence team an extra inning 1 to 0 game between the Detroit and Providence teams. This memorable game was played on the Detroit diamond, and Johnnie Ward pitched for Providence that day.”

The HOUSEHOLD.

A Wl«r Houaekeeprr and tbe l,eft Overs—A Coey Corner—Ax Excellent Savory Dish. Eternal vigilance is the price the housekeeper has to pay for the satisfaction of having a smoothly running establishment, and to keep the table up to a uniformly high standard she is called upon to exercise many virtues. She must have foresight and judgment, and she must know exactly to what extent she may temper a prudent economy with a bit of justifiable extravagance now and then. She must set forth her table generously, but never wastefully, and if she wisely mingles a little Imagination with her sensible choice and arrangement of the daily food her family will rise up with enthusiasm and call her blessed. There can be no half way measures about the family meals. The cookery books that tell such cheerful tales of manufacturing all manner of impressive dishes out of odds and ends are dealing largely in fairy stories. The foundation of every dinner must consist of fresh meat carefully cooked and accompanied by enough vegetables to give a healthful variety to the regimen. There Is, however, a legitimate use for the broken bits of yesterday’s fish. fowl, meat or certain vegetables, and the housewife will find it to her advantage to study up the proper methods of preparing them. These savory morsels may be minced, artistically seasoned and made into fritters or croquettes or baked and served in little baking dishes. By such Ingenuities the meal may be lifted from the monotonous commonplace into which the dally fare Is always In danger of falling, and savory little morsels may be saved from waste. It Is a good plan to have these preparations served separately and immediate!}’ after the soup. Suppose the dinner for today Is to consist of a plain soup, roast mutton, two vegetables and a sweet of some sort. There may be in the icebox some stewed tomatoes remaining from yesterday. If these are highly seasoned and put in the little earthenware baking dishes, one for each person, with alternate layers of bread crumbs and dots of butter, a very appetizing entree will result. The tomatoes should come from the oven attractively browned and should be sent to the table absolutely hot. The soup may be scalloped and served in the same way. Squares of bread that have been lightly fried and hollowed out in the eenter may hold a mince of meat and vegetables. Bits of fish, meat, poultry and game may all be utilized as entrees, and most of them are the better for a warming over. They may be served as croquettes, formed in little circles, dipped in yolk of egg and bread crumbs and delicately fried or scalloped. In any ease they must be skillfully seasoned with pepper, salt and savory herbs, and the addition of a few drops of lemon juice or a dash of onion will not come amiss. Philadelphia North American.

narrowest part of the lounge here shown is three feet wide, and its wid- I est parts, the two ends, measure about five feet. The back of the lounge, as I well as the seat, should be well padded and covered with denim or other material, and a number of downy sofa pillows should be placed about. The woodwork back of the lounge should be built higher at one end than at the other and the elevation fitted up as a bookcase or as a holder of bric-a-brac or pictures or ior the beloved pipe ahd tobacco.—Emma Lewis in American Queen. An Excellent Savory Dinh. Such dishes as beef or veal olives are attractive and palatable. Sufficient meat for them may be purchased for a single meal. In fact, this is true of all stews, but broils and roasts are not good when small. Beef olives are strips of thin round steak with a small piece of suet or bacon rolled and tied within. They are first browned In a little suet and then stewed slowly until tender—about one hour—in a brown sauce made by adding two tablespoonfuls of flour to the fat in which they were browned. After mixing add a pint of hot water and a seasoning of onion, bay leaf, salt and pepper.—Ladies’ Home Journal. Go to Market. , To purchase food economically one must go to the market and the grocers and not order by the driver or by telephone. What to Eat says that the latter method of marketing, while saving time, involves an expense of 50 per cent for food, for which there is no compensation in quality.

Kidnapers Foiled.

It was during the Boer war. I was then staying, at the Masonic hotel In Bloemfontein, capital of the Orange Free State. I was taking an opera company through South Africa. On the morning of the memorable evening I had obtained permission from President Brandt to borrow the Orange Free State drum for a stage accessory from the fort of the hill above Bloemfontein. As I marched with my drum down the main street that faces the archway leading into the Masonic hotel I saw a bullock wagon rolling slowly along ahead of me. That bullock wagon contained the immortal triumvirate—Oom Ptful Kruger, Joubert and Pretorius, the heads of the Boer, government. They had come down from the Transvaal to ask President Brandt to throw the Orange Free State Into the war and give the Transvaal Its assistance. I watched those three men go up to the White House, the residence of President Brandt, and I watched them as they turned sorrowfully away with bowed heads. President Brandt had refused to see them. After depositing my drum In the Masonic hotel I came out again upon the main street. I was suddenly accosted by a young Englishman, who said, with great excitement: “See here, old man, you’re with us, are you not?” I had been away from America for six years and had lost my American accent. The young Britisher took me for an Englishman and went on hurriedly, “If we succeed, our names will be handed down to history.” Very naturally I asked, “What’s up, old chap?” He said: “A hundred of us Englishmen Intend to kidnap the triumvirate tonight. They have now gone to the Orange Free State hotel for dinner. They return to the Transvaal tonight. You know that only a bridge over the Orange river separates the Orange Free State from the Transvaal. It is only a short distance Into Griqualand West, which is British territory. We have agreed to meet the triumvirate at a bend of the road at 11 o’clock tonight and carry them into Griqualand West Do you see? That will end the Boer war.”

Putting up my hand, I said: “Stop! I am an American. These people are only doing what my ancestors did. What you have told me so far Is sacred. What you tell me further I do not pledge myself to keep.” The fellow left me Immediately. Now, did you ever hear of beating the devil tfround the stump? How was I to save the triumvirate? I had pledged my word to the Englishman. I must save the triumvirate. It has often been a question with me whether I offended against the higher ethics by my circumvention of the truth. I walked to the Orange Free State hotel. I seated myself at the dinner table, the triumvirate—Oom Paul Kruger, Joubert and Pretorius—and myself. After some desultory conversation I asked Oom Paul carelessly at what time they Intended to start for hoiqe that night. He said, “At about 10:30.” I felt my heart In my throat. But I said quite nonchalantly, though I am sure my eyes, fastening his own, said more: “I would go back, uncle, as soon as possible. Your mission to President Brandt has failed.” Oom Paul Kruger looked at me from beneath the shaggy eyebrows that like watchdogs guard the lights of statecraft within bls old eyes, and he said very slowly: “How do you know?” And I said: “I know many things, unde, because I am an American and because both my heart and brain are Interested In your Transvaal war. I know that your mission has been a failure. I believe that you have nothing to gain by staying longer here tonight, possibly much to lose.” ~My eyes talked to Oom Paul across the dinner table. Oom Paul broke the silence: “Have you any reason for our going earlier?” I answered “No,” and then I said pointedly: “It Is safer to trek in the moonlight than In the darkness. The moon rises full tonight, uncle, at 7 o’clock.” Oom Paul turned to me, and his words fell like the blows of a sledge hammer: “It rises at 11 o’clock. Am I wrong In this surmise?" .... There 'was a dead silence. The three men spoke together in Dutch. Oom Paul said. “We will leave at 10 o’clock, as first Intended.” I played with my knife and fork for a moment as I said, “It would not be a breach of honor on my part to tell any one at what hour you Intend to leave?” He answered, “Tell any one you like.” The next morning 1 was met by my British friend of the day before, who said, “Did you warn the triumvirate?” I said: “No. Oom Paul told me that he would leave at 10:30. Did you get them?” He said: “No. Hara Hues! They got wind of it somehow or other and left at 6 o’clock.”—Boston Globe.

"We are lost!” exclaimed the Filiplno. “Sure?” asked the officer, looking up with a sudden expression of hope. "Absolutely. I don’t see how we are going to find our way out of this trackless wilderness.” “That Isn’t the question.
