The way to spoil a cow is to pound her with the milking stool. The way to spod children is to take no interest in their doings. The way to spoil yourself is to nurse your conceit and to think only of number one. The wav to spoil a driving horse is to cut him with the whip when he does not expect it. The way to spoil your town is to kick at every proposed improve ment, and spend your money out of town. GET A HOME. Pluw Boy.

All men of common sense, wheth er he be a democrat or populist, sees the folly ef d-v.ging the Alliance in t politics. Of course the Alliance made mistakes. The man that don’t chop doYvn some corn is the one that don’t hoe any. When the manhood ot the /South concludes to live under a petticoat government, we want to crawl under the bed and die on a credit. Get together brethren. Every man in the order had the unchal- lenged right to deposit such ballot as bis judment dictated. Grant the right you claim. Come togethei and evolve new 00-operatire and educational work. The House passes joint reswlulioa provhling for the election f United Stales senators by di feet vote of the people. Score anothei victory for the Alliance through th* democratic par ty. Our populist brethren make all the “fuss” and we get all the reforms through the onl- available source. ’T is pretty sale to predict that no executive committee of a politi cal party wi-i pitch their tents and fling their banners to the breeze where the nexc meeting of the National ’Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union convenes.

The Enquirer prints the follow ing : “A close look at one of the new me morial siamps issued by the pest c drpa* t it.e■.• -I<. t.. uuiiuiitj if not remarkable blunder on the part of someone. Take the new one cent denomination. It is a pretty tiling to look at, but there is a bad eye-sore on the face f the highly colored memorial. The scene represented by the picture an the face of the new stamp is ‘Coluuabu* ,; n Sight of Land.” That is, the en graving represents such a hut look a little closer and you will find that poor Christtpher’s name is misspelled. Instead of the plain name.ofthj great discoverer. Post master Wanamaker’s new stamp has the name of Christopher spelled thus: *‘C-0-L-U-M-R-U-S/’ In stead of reading: “Columbus in Sight of Land,” the reading in cap itals below the engraving on the face of the stamp is: Columrus in Sight of Land.” Columbus is clear “out of sight,’-' while “Columrus is in Sight of Land’'' will stare Ameri cans in the face for months to corns.

S. herbt HIS DRUNKEST DRUNK* Tim Campbell’s Experience With Mexican Devil Water. “Ever get drunk on water?** asked Tim Campbell, as he stood in the St. James annex and watched the barkeeper mix a cock tail of extra vitality. “Y ou never did? Well, there’s where I have the advantage of you. The drunk est drunk I ever experienced was the result of drinking water. I was skylarking around down among the Sierra Madre Moun tains, looking for a long lost Span ish mine, and making an all around fool of myself for the be hoof of half a dozen Mexican mo ws, when I discovered a little spring bubbling out of the side of a mountain. “The rivulet was no thicker than your little finger, but was icy cold. I started to fill my cup, but one of the Mexicans cautioned me not to drink it. He said it was ‘devil water/ and would make my head swim and cause my legs to grow weak. I questioned him closely and learned that the effects produced by the water were very similar to those resulting from the absorption of too much bourbon. He said that the Indians drank it for kidney troubles. I thought if it did no worse than make me drunk I would tackle it, and I did. It tasted like a very poor quality of gin diluted with soapsuds, but was so cold that, heated as I was, I could not let it aone. “ I suppose that I must have drank nearly a pint of the stuff during the hour that we lingered in the vicinity. I soon began to feel the effects of it. First 1 re quired one mozo to hold me on my burro, theiltwo found it a difficult job. We went into camp, and I pledge you mv word that for two days and nights I was the drunk est man on the North American continent. No, sir, I didn’t take anything on the side. Fill ’em up again please. No water, thank you. I’m a temperance man. Rye is plenty strong enough for me.”—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Consumption of Tobacco. The Austrians consume more tobaco than any other nationality or race on the globe, civilized or savage. Recent investigation by eminent statisticians gives the number of pounds consumed yearly by each 100 inhabitants of the Qitfereno European countries as follows: Spain, 110 pounds; Italy, 128; Great Britain, 138; Russia, 182; Denmark, 224; Nor way, 229, and Austria, 273. Deserted Kansas Towns. There are twenty well-built towns in Kansas without a single inhabitant to waken the echo of their deserted streets. Saratoga has a $30,000 opera house, a large brick hotel, a $20,000 school house, and a large number of fine busi ness houses, yet there is nobody to even claim a place to sleep. At Fargo a $20,000 school house stands on the side of the hill a monument to the booming craze. A Sad Error. Mrs. A. —Do you ever make any errors in speech? Mrs. B.—Yes, I made one a few years ago. Mrs. A. —What was it? Mrs. B.—l said yes.” —Kate Field's Washington, Curious Facts. On a clear night a red light can be seen at a greater distance than a white light, but on a dark night the reverse is the case. From 1661 to 1680 it was cus tomary to return the price of ad mission to persons who left before the close or the first act. On an average two persons die of starvation in London every week. And yet flour was never cheaper there than it is now. It is estimated that the ceme teries of London cover an aggre gate area of 2,000 acres, the value of which is not less than $lO,- 000,000. Of the entire human race 250,- 000,000 go entirely -without clothes, 700,000,000 live in huts or caves, and 250,000,000 more have practi cally no shelter at all. The hair on the ordinary doll is made from the hair of the angora goat. This product is contrelled by an English syndicate and is valued at $40,000 a year. It has been said in explanation of the colors of the United States flag that “ red is supposed to rep resent courage, white integrity of purpose and blue steadfastness, love and faith.” About $40,000,000 is paid every year in Germany for the creation and preservation of forests; 200,- 000 families are supported from them, while something Kke 3,000,- 000 find employment in the vari ous wood industries of the empire. Walter Besant has been making some melancholy estimates of the number of authors who fail, and he finds that out of 3,500 who try 3,260 are completely dished, 120 make a very little money, 70 do jjsetty well, and 50 get a substan tial income.
