A swell Englishman arrived at Bur inah during tin* water feast. He went to call on one of the leading men of Rangoon in a tall silk hat and black clothes, and was met at the door by a girl w ith a bucket of water. The girl asked him in Burmese whether he was observing the water feast, and he siqi- I>osing that she wanted to know whether he had come -to see her father nodded his head, and with that nisi this whole bucket of water went over his silk hut and down the back of his collar, com pletely drenching him. During the same time another party of Englishmen were told that some girls wore coining to throw water on them. They had tlie servants bring out the bath tub and put it on the veranda, apd when the girls came they get possession of the bath tub and splashed file Englishmen until one of them rushing in seized one of the maidens and lifting her up dropped tier into the tub. This was considered very lm[K>lite, and t lie young man who did it suffered by receiving no further attention from the Burmese beauties. —Philadelphia Press.

Many miles of streets in California have been [Mived with American asphaltum, which is also-extensively used for tlio covering of wharf piles and the coating 'of iron pi|>e as well as woodwork of various kinds. Tlie asphaltum referred to is found at V entura, Cal., where the de posit is said to lie practically inex haustible. , Among strange and humiliating cus toms of the Uussiams which were abol ished by Peter the Great was that of beating the forehead on the ground upon entering the presence of tlte tsar, and that of public flagellation of de faulting debtors. The former, ehelo bitie, was Mongolian or Byzantine; the latter, tlie punishment of the praviosh, was Introduced by the Tartars.

Outwitting: Ike Dean. 1 was talking recently with an En glish clergyman of the Episcopal church who gained his B. A. at Oxford nearly half a century ago. The conversation turned to llarvurd college and the dec oration of its founder’s statue. The reverend gentleman said that his nxi oilections of his Oxford days Contained plenty of episode* of a like nature and in* accordingly related several. Upon tiic great quadrangle of tin* Christ Church collie a number of the halls front and upward of fifty doors upon, j One line inomin' every one of these 1 doors, which were of oak, was painted a bright crimson. Of course there was great agitation, hut the identity of the artist was never disclosed. The dean, in onter to prevent a recurrence of tiie deed, stationed a watchman in tiie quadrangle, and so well did that func tionary perfouu his duties that tiie doors were not touched. But the stu dents resolved to circumvent tiie dean and outwit tiie sentinel. One evening a big undergraduate, who had ]iossessed himself of a flowing gown and wig. personating tiie dean, entered tiie “quad mag,” a* the court is affectionately termed, and approach ed tiie watchman. “Ahum! ahum !"s he I legal i hi a deep pitched voice, "I am glad, my man, to find you attend ing to your duty so well. Now you gu to my kitchen mid my cook will give you a good sapper mid plenty of ale. i will keep watch while you are gone. ” Fluttered and pleased tiie man accepted tiie invitation and went. He was gone fifteen minutes. In tiie meantime eaeli one of the fifty doors was (tainted a sunset red. Boston Advertiser. A HorMT That In Fond of Apples. Down in Congress square there stands an old gray tow horse of mi observing mind and engaging manners who likes to make acquaintance with (Kissers by. It has lies'll tiie habit of a gentleman who comes in town every morning to buy n*i apple at a fruit stand and treat the old fellow, whose some what monot onous life apiienls to him. Tiie old tow horse bus grown to ex(ieot his ap ple, and ho now watches regularly for his friend. U(kiii the few oeeuaions when tiie apple lias been forgotten or intentioiiully omitted tiie horse lias fol lowed the man, or lias stepped up to the sidewalk in front of him and stop ped his passage as if to say, “You can not (mss until you’ve [mid your toll.” One afternoon not long since a man wlio has a strong resemblance to the tow horse's friend was passing through Congress street, when to his astonish merit he felt himself grabbed by the coat sleeve. Turning uround libs sur prise was still greater when lie found it was a horse who held him prisoner. Tiie towboy who has charge of the horse came to the rescue, and cleared matters up by explaining that the two men looked so much aliko that, lie a* well ns the horse was deceived.—Bos ton Herald. “Mttii Trap* ami Spring Dun* .Set Here." Man tra[is were niado in South Staf fordshire, chiefly at West Bromwich, ten years ago. and are probably still to lie bought. The pattern books of sev eral liianiifact uivrs had and probably still have an ix'tavo page engraving, showing a poacher gripped by the teg and d nipping tiie hares ho iuul picked up. Tlitwo modern muii traps were, however, ''human man tra[>s, ” witli plain bar jaws, and not the saw tooth grips, which would mangle u limb and probably biv ak tiie leg bone. Similar tiger tra[is are also made in the Black Country, and are formidable and crushing devices. Spring guns are made in Birmingham, hut these are onlv alarm guns, to make a loud report anti frighten a poacher or bird stealer by noise, without shot; but the oklor forms swung the small cannon around and lilts 1 a volley of shot in tho direc tion of the wire trodden upon.—Notes and Queries.

Julietto, a little girl who wan making what her parents regarded as remarka ble progress at school, was asked one day by her Uncle Ooorgo: ‘•Well, Juliette, what study do you like best,?’’ “Oh, history, Undo George. I’m getting along splendidly hi that.” “Yes,” said her mother. “Just ask her a question, and see how much she knows.” “Well,” said Unde George, “tell me the story of Adam." Juliette looked up with surprise. “Adam l" she said. “Why, I haven’t got as far os that yet!”—Youth s Com panion. The I'ariKHi’* Hlble. Rev. K. H. Lawrepce, of Wisconsin, was presented with a Bible many years ago which he carried through the war. He always carried it in his e<sit pocket. At the battle of hennesaw' Mountain a bullet struck Rev. Mr. Lawrence on ills left side, penetrating his coat and shirt, then into his Bible, stopping at Isaiah lii., 7. Strange to say the Bible saved his life, and lie preserved the book witli the bullet in it until hs* death. The first sermon he ever preached he took the verse at which the bullet stopped for his text, and preached the sermon at Antioch church. Morgan eof jity. —Chicago Herald.

Ike of » i urmci Wlto I**l4 * Debt TwU*4* Ov«r ami Still Owen It. 1 know a man who bought a farm iu Dos Moines county, la., in 1808 for £1,3U0. He had $1,700 cask mid txir rowed $1,500 at 8 percent. He thought he had a Imrgaiu of at least SSOO in the farm. He moved on to it, and he and iris family worked ahnnst day and night trying to secure a home. Tiie farm was ont of re[wir, trot they managed for tiie tirst few years to pay tiie interest, which 1 together with taxes and insurance amounted tf* about sls0 —which by tiie way was a (uetty fair rent for the farm. By the time the farm was put iu re pair the hard times of 1873 came, and us a result the i,* ireat was not all [mid for a year or two. This crippled him some, but being full of lu>l*i mul energy, by * hard fSrrrh-ftiwFriitrstTtrtrtttlrinJ ] OTij* die back Interest was paid. But. just when he got his interest all (mid up and things begun to brighten, having a tiieo lot of hogs with which he j expected to reduce that $1,300 indebted- I ness to $1,300, hog cholera killed His hogs: and again things begun to look blue. This was followed by the hard timee of 1870, and as a result interest iguiu fell liehind. But witli hope and Miergy lie worked on, (laying up interest as fast ns he could; yet each year it took more bushels of grain—more labor—to pay his interest. And as the farm had materially depreciated in value Un friend from whom tiie money was bor rowed began to think it was about time to get it, or Ire might lie oe*» pelted to take tiie farm for his (my; so in 1888 another loan was secured by paying a good round commission to a loan agent for securing the same, and the mort gage was [mid off. Now as to the facts in tills ease, this poor farmer thought he owned at least half the farm ho lived on, yet he [mid on the mortgage about as much rent as the farm was worth. Having run just twenty years he had paid the mortgagee $3,400, besides some compound interest, taxes and insurance, which all together amounted to at least $3.000, and still ho owed tiie original $1,500. Since then prices of farms and farm products have been going down, so that it lias been impossible to keep up any- i ihing more than repairs, taxes and inter est. And today that man owes that mortgage, and unli?s times change very soon the mortgage will take tiie farm, and this poor farmer und liis good wife will be turned out, and in their old age be left homeless, notwithstanding liis honest efforts to save his home.—Jiteob Fuuck in Dakota Funner. Ftti’iucr Uoyd'n View*. Hon. Weir Boyd, formerly a member of the Georgia senate, said in a recent interview: “As to the tariff, every sensible, jus', man knows it needs readjustment. The idea of protection, as incorporated in the present tariff laws, means the mak ing of the rich lie her and t lie [xxir [tourer Mid discrimination in favor of the rich i against the [kk.ii'. Furthermore, it is 1 wrong because it raises greater revenue I from the people lliati is necessary to the | jcoiiomical ad ministration of the gov ernment. “In tlie event that the unlimited ('obl ige of silver, with the present outstand ing volume of currency, doesn't furnish sufficient money to transact the busi ness of the jieople, then it is the duty of the government to issue u sufficient amount of greenback currency to supply this deficiency. In the event that this cannot be done, then, perhaps, it would lie wise to adopt tlie Hubtrcasnry system as advocated by the alliance, under proper limitations, to meet the neces sities of’the people. I don’t see why the farmers should not be allowed to bank on tlie staple products of the farm, us tlie bondholder and gold shylock are now permitted by litw to bank upon their gold and bonds. It was admitted by statesmen and financiers, in the late debates in congress on this question, that there is not a sufficient volume of currency to do the business of the country.” <>ov«*i’llm«*ittul llall roiul*. The government must acquire by pur chase or otherwise the railroads of the country, and operate them at cost for the public, that farming may reap the benefit of uniformly low rates. The roads may be acquired, not by in crease of our national interest bearing bonded debt, but by gradual absorption. Issue $100,000,000 full legal tender paper money stamped, “On account of the na tional railroads.” With this pay off stock and bondholders of the ruilroiul. Every payment for freight or passenger tariff would be its redemption. W itli no interest on bonds nor dividends on stock, with the immense increase which would result from reduced rates, with the actual saving to the people on'government busi ness (carrying the mails alone this year cost $19,1(15,557 —{52.H44 a day) in a very few years ’ the entire issue would be re deemed and be available far the pur chase of another line, until within fifteen years the entire system of railr< iadi*fl would be owned by the government, and that without friction or commercial dis turbance.—J. A. Whiteloek in Cape May Wave. _ rh«nonif‘nal Growth. Before the next convention of the National Fanners' Alliance meets at Ocala, Fla., in December next, it is ex pected tliat fully 8,000,000 farmers will be enrolled in its membership, all pledged to support the industrial, commercial and [loliticn! aims of the order. It is only a few uiotitlis since the name of the organization became known, out already it has become active in Washington and in half the states of the Union.—New York Hun—Not Editorial. The workings of the present tariff schedule make both the manufacturer and the producer of wool unhappy. The manufacturer is unhappy because the raw material is not free of duty and thus made cheaper. Tlie wool grower is unhappy because his wool i# too cheap and liis breeches and blankets he buys I are too dear. —Field aud Farm. Karra itral Ksctury Earner*. Tho farmers of the country have been taught by tho press that the productive lalxirer* of the city are such a dangerous class that) it is necessary to call out tiie militia from time to time and shoot them into subjection in order to prevent I the country from Vicing involved in ana vhy, socialism or some horrible eou ditim under which manhood right* might be more regarded than money, right*. Under this teaching tho productive wmkers of the country have lxx-n kep> divided, and the political influence of the worker on the farm has Ix-en tised to keep the Victory workers in subjec tion. From this condition tljt-re has ix-en a gradual change for Ix-tter. The or- ganizations of city ami country workers have boon drawn nearer together by a sense of common deprivations, and they are reaching a Ix-tter understanding. If it goes on, and the militia is ordered out to massacre strikers, tiie farm workers of the country will understand that the men whoso mass meetings are broken up, and who are shot down in tiie streets, are merely the oppressed [xxir— oppressed by the same causes which make it Impossible for tiie farm worker to retain liis earnings or by hi* utmost latxir to achieve even a mixl.-rate inde pendence, though the number of million aires who prey on others instead ol working for themselves is doubling iuid trobhtig itself with every year that the capitalists’ oommune perpetuates itsell in [lower.

Th« Situation In Dcoi'glu. Tile new situation is not at all abnor mill. We have aimply been living uudet an abnormal situation. Three-fourths of tiie white jieopte, and these constitut ing the life of tho great and necessary business of Georgia, have l**en held in political subjugation for twenty-five years. In all this time, usido from a few vapid and stereoty[X'd phrases in relation to cheap axes anil blankets, robber hie rons and war tariffs, they have been taught uotliiug on national issues. Ido not say they have learned uutliing. And in all this time no legislation has been secured by them worthy of tiie name which has lightened their labors. And for those they have given unswerving allegiance, have stood to the [tolls with their lives in their hands and saved Geor gia as well by night as by day. Their lives have been heroic. Wlmt they have suffered and endured only God, the silent field* and the midnight hour* uiuy re veal.

That same old song, sung to tiie same old tune, with the same old chorus, Het to uncommon long meter, is sung in-re that was sung in Hopkins and other counties where there had boeu a Grange store und fulled. “Oh the farmers won’t stick together.
