The Philadelphia Ledger says:
“Senator Gray, the only Democrat on
peace commiMiou, seems to have
reached the came opinion concerning
the document that Mr. Bryan has
been expressing, but to have reached
it by an entirely independent course
of reasoning. He, too, holds that the
treaty “merely gives us control of the
situation; we can do as we please”
about retaining or leasing the Philip
pines, but thinks we would not keep
them. This appears to be the line on
which the Democratic party is form
ing its position."
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
would not be surprised at almost any
sort of manifestation of fraternal leek
ing between the people of the sections.
Il says: “We are living in a fast age
and changes have come on us sudden
ly. Among these changes none are
more surprising and radical than the
change in feeling and sentiment
throughout the country. If this sens
timed grows the day is not far distant
when the Republicans of Maine and
Massachusetts will be demanding that
Jefferson Davis* birthday be made a
national holiday. Strange things have
happened.
The farmer in this day and time
must study his business with the
same close care and attention to
changing conditions that the mer
chant and manufacturer give to theirs.
The wholesale merchant who would
attempt to do a big business as it was
done twenty*five years ago would
swamp a pretty large capital in short
order. He would drop out of the race.
The farmer who does not study his
soil, who does not understand the use
of fertilisers, who is content with fif
teen bushels of wheat to the acre
when with fertiliser be could get
twentysfive, who does not watch his
surrounding market, who does not ap
preciate the piofits in early fruits and
vegetables, in poultry and cattle—this
farmer will also drop out and the man
who believes the world is advancing
and that it has much to teach him
will take bis place. We hear farmers
discussing with much earnestness
banking and financies, expansion and
anti-expansion, the tariff and a mer
chant marine, but do they know what
salts the soil they cultivate contains,
what it will best bring forth and what
is the for it to Re
ceive? The proper education of the
farmer and the best way to get him to
take an interest in his own business,
as paradoxical as the statement seems,
is a subject which contains great, re
sponsibilities.—Americus Recorder,
A YANKEE.
Wwrtiwa Ttovva In Wnrions PlaeM as
tn Wlrst He le.
**l was greatly amused,*’ said a New
Orleans cilisen wbo has lately made a
visit abroad, "to notice how the term
'Yankee* widens in application as one
gets farther and farther away from the
habitat of the teal thing.
"In New York a Yankee is common
ly supposed to be a native of Connecti
cut, Vermont or Massachusetts, and I
have noticed that the name is applied
to mean skinflints rather than to the
people in general. In St. Louis a Yankee
is understood loosely to be any one from
the extreme northeast. Here in New
Orleans the term includes pretty nearly
everybody above Mason and Dixon’s
line —in short, 'northerner* and * Yan
kee’ are more or leas synonymous.
"Now comes the really absurd part
of it, although quite in line with wbat
I have just remarked. While I was in
London I found myself continually re
ferred to as a ’Yankee’ by natives who
had learned I was from New Orleans.
*1 think you Yankees are very charm
ing people,* said a big wholesaler who
wanted to be extra pleasant. *1 know
several from your state. * I tried to ex
plain at first, but I soon got tired of
that. I was ante to be greeted by a stare
of amazement. ‘But I thought all
Americans were Yankees, doneber
know,’ would be the usual protest
"Later on I met a very intelligent
hotel keeper at Bern, in Swianriawb
and in the course of conversation he re
marked that he had an extremely agree
able countryman of mine staying at his
house the previous season. 'As you are
both Yankees,’he said, ‘you may by
chance know him.* ‘Where does he
live?’ I asked. ‘ln Buenos Ayres, ’ re
plied the hotel keeper.’’—New Orleans

INDIAN SIGNAL SERVICE.
They Hare Loae Telephoned by the
Use of Drums.
Travelers in uncivilized countries
have often wondered how some savage
tribes were able to transmit news for
hundreds of miles with no apparent
facilities for doing so. An interesting
light is th own on this subject by Jose
Bach, who tells of the means by which
the Indians on the Amazon communi
cate with each other at a distance. The
natives live in groups of 100 to 200
persops in settlements half a mile or a
mile apart. In each dwelling there is a
wooden drum, which is buried for half
its height in sand mixed with frag
ments of wood, bone and mica, and has
a triple diaphragm of leather, wood
and rubber. Wbon this drum is struck
with a wooden mallet, the sound travels
far and is distinctly heard in the other
drums in the neighboring dwellings.
It is beyond doubt that the transmis
sion of the sound takes place through
the earth, since the blows struck are
scarcely audible outside of the houses
in which the instruments are placed.
After a “malocca,” or dwelling, has
been "called up” by an initial blow
conversation is carried on between the
two drums. Mr. Bach’s explanation is
that the communication is facilitated
by the nature of the ground, the drums
doubtless resting upon one and the same
stratum of rook, since transmission
through ordinary alluvial earth could
not be depended upon. This method
furnishes an ingenious modification of
the process employed by Indians for
perceiving distant noises, such as the
gallop of a horse, which consists in ap
plying the ear to the earth.—St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
Uses of Adversity.
It is something new to discover that
a bodily affliction can assist one in
mastering the difficulties of learning a
foreign language, but there is a case of
the kind on record.
Miss Gertrude came down stairs one
morning with red eyes, a swollen nose
and a generally distressed appearance.
“What is the matter, Gertrude?”
asked her mother.
"An awful cold in my head,” she re
plied.
“I am very sorry, ” said her sympa
thizing parent.
"I was when I got up, ” cheerfully
rejoined the young miss, “but I’m not
now. I can get that French nasal sound
exactly. Tray be-ong. Bong zhoor.
How’s that?”—Youth’s Companion.
A Game Jockey.
Tod Sloane’s gameness will never be
questioned by those who saw him win a
race on Walter in a nose finish at the
old East St. Louis track some years
ago. After the race Tod was hardly able
to dismount. Then it was learned that
be had broken an arm in the race. It
seems that he was crowded against the
fence in a jam around one of the turns
and broke his arm. Switching the reins
to his good arm, he rode the race out
with great determination, putting up a
“Garrison finish” and winning on the
post by the narrowest possible margin.
It was an exhibition of , gameness the
like of which was never before heard of
in the history of the American turf.—
Chicago Record.
Twisted Lojflc.
It is said that during the Irish rebel
lion of 1848 a bishop sent a request to
a parish priest for information and re
ceived the reply, of the
country is assured; faction fights are
increasing. ”
A similar twist in logic is manifested
in a message of congratulation received
by Mr. Willis, on his /’lection to the
New South Wales parliament. The tel
egram from his agent read, “Carnida
jubilant; heavy fighting; several hurt,
including self.”—London Chronicle.

THE
MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE CO.
OF NEW YORK.
Breaks The Dividend Record.
It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa
ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the. particulars
of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in
stance eclipsed all previous dividend results:
Mr. Banks was insured for •• •••• 22
The dividends amounted to 12,028.00
Paid to the estate $17,028.00
How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and
he did this for fifty-tour years. He did m>t utilize any portion of the divi
dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these
for his benefit. Here are the particulars:
Policy No. 1,233. Issued March 5,1845. Amount $5,000.
Age4o. Annual premium, $l6O. Life Plan.
Original insurance in 1845, :
Dividend additions paid in 1898, 12,028.00
Amount of death claim $17,028,00
54 Premiums paid by insured 8,640.00
Realized to estate over premiums paid $8.388 00
Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (2|) per
cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from $5,000
at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94.
The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, of all the premiums
paid for the insurance.
Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings
Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety*-four. He appreciated the
power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result of
his method of investment —a result that has never been equalled by a policy
holder in any other company in the world.
For best plans of insurance please consult me.
