QUAINT AND CURIOUS. Russia has 22 ironclads and monitors building. A French electrician has gotten up a device by which he can send 150 type written words per min ute over a single wire. Bounties were paid for 61 bears, 30 wolves, 29 lynxes, 6,016 foxes, 739 eagles and ,4,339 hawks in Norway last year. The supply is not exhausted. A Parisian electrician has suc ceeded in forcing violets by the aid of his battery, and recently sent a bunch of these fledglings only four hours old to the Empress Eugenie. And now cottonwood comes to the . front as a sugar factor. A Southern grower says its saccha rine qualities are fifteen times greater than sugar cane and twen ty times stronger than beets. The oldest mule in the , United States is a venerable object of in terest in Ray, county,, Mo. Its name its Julia and is 36 years of age. And, by the way, its voice is in a perfect state of preserva tion. A spring that gushes forth soda water and in reality forms n huge natural soda water fountain has been discovered in Oregon. The water is sparkling and eileresceut and when flavored and bottled cannot be distinguished from the artificial beverage. All Esquimax are superstitious about death, and although they hold festivals in memory of de parted friends they will usually carry a dying person to some abandoned hut, there to drag out his remaining days without food, medicine, water or attendance. After the death of a husband or wife the survivor cuts the front hair shorts and fasts for 25 days. The biggest blast in the history of Connecticut was touched off at a quarry in Meriden a few days ago. The blasters drilled many holes into one side of the quarry, implanted • 500 pounds of dyna mite therein and firedit. A mass of rock estimated to have weighed 3,000 tons was sent rolling down the mountain side, and the deto nation was heard many miles. The Princes Ludwig, of Bavaria, gave birth a few days ago to her thirteenth child. Twelve of her chiidsen are living. The princess is the daughter of Duke Ferdi nand, of Modena, and the Arch- duches of Austria. She was born in 1749 and was married in 1368. No other royal princess in Europe is the mother of so many children as this popular Bavarian lady. Prof. Kohlbranch, who has been * making some curious experiments with lightning, finds that the amount of electricity in an ordi nary flash is so small that it would require 37 flashes to keep a common incandescont lamp burn ing one hour. Prediction and Affirmation, [Chicago Inter Ocean.] The difference between predic tion and affirmation was proven, to the sorrow of Governor Camp bell at Findlay, Ohio. The cam paign of 1890 was one of demo cratic prediction, and as the fann ers were suffering from low pri ces, the merchants selling little to the farmers, and trade in general a trifle depressed in consequence thereof there was an undue an j unnatural disposition to belie ye the worst of the future. W neu the democrat said: “ The inla /nous McKinley bill will make ou r pres ent evil condition worse,” all that the republicans could say in reply was. “ Oh, no, it won’t,” But the listuer was.in a humor t ,o believe the democrat rather tha ,n the re publican. You cannot absolutely refute a prediction u p /til the time for its fulfillment ha.cj come. The time for the fulfillment of predic tions concerning the McKinley tariff has come. .Amdit is a day of wrath for the false prophet's of evil, but of joy to them that prophesied good things; for the good things are here. Little now is to be said of what the new tar iff will do. The talk must be of what it has done and of what it is doing. Affirmation must take the ■ place of prophecy and it is much more dangerous to assert an un-, trul h than to prophosy one during a political campaign. Governor Campbell was rash enough to af firm that the glass manufacture of Ohio was a failure; that it em ployed few Americans; that it gave work mainly to Belgians who would not teach an Ameri can boy their trade. This Govern or Campbell said at Ada, in the State of Ohio. The conduct of his campaign shortly took him to Findlay. There are glass works at Findlay, and a\ delegation of manufacturers aild workers took . t , ’ t( j * him' to task for his Ada .speech. They -told hi ,.m £}iaf. ou^ 0f 500 glass workey .s that town no more than .fifty were of Belgian birth, and that each one of these was a na ruralized Amarican citi- zen, o ’ / a person who had taken out hi s first papers of naturaliza tion. . They told him also that a ss-bloAVer in Ohio earned $160 Pf ix month, and a glass flattoner ^75; the wages for like work being $60 and $35 in Belgium. They tolcl him also that there was not a foreign-born boy learning , the glass trade in Findlay, but that scores of American boys were learning it. This was an episode not provided fov by Governor Campbell’s system of proving the tariff a failure by double-entry bookkeeping. As many of the glass workers are democrats, Cov- ernor Campbell’s humiliation is deep, and as many of them will not vote for him his sorrow is pro found. When ‘ this campaign is over the democratic party of Ohio, or so much of it as survives, will have learned the difference be tween prediction and affirmation. M. Flammarion, the French as tronomer, has suggested that in Mars they are a great deal more advanced, intellectually speaking, than we are ourselves, and that they there have optical instru ments which excel ours as much as the Lick telescope surpasses a piece of colored glass. Mars is, according to the same authority, an old planet, very cold now, but one which has passed through all its hot periods. An old lady of Salina, Kan., began her prayer by saying: “ O, Lord, Thou hast probably read in the morning newspapers how Thy day was desecrated yesterday.” Why should officials spend thousands shooting dynamite bal loons, when any ordinary teams ter can draw rein? so- O n e Pure king P o w d e r .

Like Telling a Secret. • A story is told and it is a. true story that over seventy per cent, of all the baking powders sold contain either alum or ammonia, and many of these powders- contain both. • The ill effects upon the sysiern of food raised by alum or ammo nia powders are the more dangerous because c f their insidious character. It would be less dangerous for the people were it fatal at once, for then such food would be avoided, but their baneful action because imperceptible at first and slow in its advances, is no less certain. Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder is declared by all authorities as free from alum, ammonia or any other adul terant. Its purity has\.never been questioned, and while it does finer and better work, it costs no more at retail than many of the adulterated powders. hT« T l H E A D ! BHLIL H E AVD!
