McDonough. Ga., Mat 29, 1891.
Hon. E. 11. llelden, of Michigan,
widely known as Merlinda Siusius, as a
delegate to the Western Commercial
Congress, introduced the following res
olutions, and. by the advantage of be
ing a member of the committee on res
olutious, secured their passage through
said committee and their final adoption
by the Congress :
Resolved, That we favor the free
and unlimited coinage of silver.
Resolved, That we favor the issue of
legal tender govt rnment notes, based
upon gold and silver, in sufficient
amount to secure an equilibrium be
tween the value of money and all oth
er products.
Resolved, That the alien ownership
of lands should be prohibited.
Resolved, That the lands hel l by
Railroad corporations, and owned by
them according to the terms of the
government grant, should be restored
to the public domain for homesteads to
actual settlers.
Resolved, That the interstate com
merce of the country should be con
trolled by the general government in
the interest of the people.
Resolved, 'That we hail with delight
the spirit of fraternity manifested by
the delegates now in attendance upon
the First Western Commercial Con
gress, and that old animosities, too long
engendered between the t sections,
should be forever displaced by the
more important work of securing the
complete establishment of equal rights
to all and special privileges to none.
The last resolution was adopted by
a rising vote and given three cheers.
—National Economist.
The safety of the people is the su
preme demand of the government.
With the homes of 20 per cent, of the
farmers under mortgage, and no way
to redeem, except by profits from ag
ricultural products, which trusts each
year control and force to bo sold at
cost of production, what higher or
grander mission could the government
fulfill than to protect these people ?
The power once grauted to corpor
ations have given to dictate to politi
cal parties, and the party that does
not court their favor, or that draws up
on itself their enmity, has but a small
showing for success. It has come to
the point that either the people must
curtail the powers of corporations or
the porporatious will take all the pow
er from the people.—Farmers’ .Jour
nal.
Do not fret because your effoits to
do good do nßt meet with immediate
success. Wait and trust. Some time
must intervene between sowing and
reaping.

TEMPTING THE ALLIGATORS.
Pnwrblal Carplfwnfw o/ Forflfwm In
the Sonthem Manthe*.
You have perhaps journeyed between
New Orleans and Mobile, and remem
ber the vast expanse of marsh with
waterways cutting through it In the
midst of this desolation is a clubhouse
and a railway station called English
Lookout. It is still good fishing and
shooting ground, but the alligator has
become so scarce that the sight of one
is a novelty. Ten or twelve years -ago
they crawled across the railroad tracks,
and passengers had but to look out of
the window to see them swimming.
One day daring my week’s stay at
the club several boats were going out,
and one of them was occupied by a
French army officer, who was also a
guest. lie had on a frock coat, and
when seated in the stern of the skill
the tails almost touched the water.
“Better take off that coat or pin the
tails up,” said one of the punters, as
his attention wa3 directed
“Why?”
“Because an alligator may pull you
overboard. ”
The Frenchman laughed and shrugged
his shoulders and led the way down
channeL Four boats of us anchored
about TOO feet apart, and the craft I
was in was next to the officer’s. The
fish were biting hot and heavy, and lor
an hour no one paid any attention to
anybody else. I tangled my line in
pulling in a fish, and while working at
tVie knots happened to glance toward
the Frenchman. Just as I did so I
saw the still waters broken behind him,
caught sight of a black object thrust
above the surface, and next instant,
uttering a scream which was heard
half a mile away, the man was pulled
out of the boat and under water.
We hurried to the spot, but nothing
whatever marked the site of the trage
dy. Even his hat liad gone. We
rowed up and down and beat the
banks, but it was useless.
“Told him so,” said the punter as we
gave up the search. “Them foreigners
don’t soem to know about ’gators. We
had a Prussian hero last month, and
what did ho do but hang his legs in
Ute water, and ho was pulled oil the
boat with me only four feet away.”—
Detroit Free Press.
Turning the Convrmsttnn.
A writer in The Nineteenth Century
tells several stories of the fate of pom
pous men who went to Cardinal New
man to talk to him as one great contro
versialist to another.
One six-cinien of the class comes with
notes and books and points for dis
cussion on problems of education, but
finds the cardinal so absorbed with
news about the “barley crop” in Nor
folk that no other subject seems to in
terest him.
Another presses him for a refutation
of one of Mr. Gladstone's arguments
against the Vatican decrees, but only
succeeds in eliciting the reply that Mr.
Gladstone Is an old Oxford acquaint
ance, and has been very kind to him.
Or if the subject is insisted on the con
versation suddenly passes—his visitor
knows not how—to the oaks of IJawar
don, and the exercise of cutting down
trees.
A third visitor finds himself engaged
at the outset in a discussion ns to the
number of stoppages in the 1:30 train
as contrasted with the 3.40, and has
unexpectedly to employ his conversa
tional talent in explaining his cross
country routo and the lines by which
he came.
And then there is the Oxford story
of Newman’s guest who introduces the
“origin of evil” at dinner, and at once
produces a dissertation —full of exact
knowledge, and apparently delivered
with earnest interest—aato the different
ways of treating hot house grains and
the history of the particular grapes on
the table before him.
SessickueM.
A French scientific man has a new
theory of tho cause of seasickness,
wliicli is brielly stated below. Perhaps
if one wore to give himself up wholly
to an attempt to understand tho tlie
ory he might forget to bo sick.
The propounder of this theory, M.
ltochet, points out the enormous ca
pacity of the reservoir formed by tho
muscular and perimusculor venous sys
tem, ami the considerable role of to
nicity and voluntary or reflex muscu
lar contractions in tho action of empty
ing it; also the predominance of reflex
muscular actions over voluntary in
keeping one’s balance and in most
movements.
In tho movements of a vessel the re
laxation of muscular touicity and sup
pression of reflex movements result in
a considerable increase of the periph
eric reservoir, and as a consequence in
cerebral anaemia.—Youth’s Companion.
I’ricefi of Fancy Wood.*.
Of the woods that are chiefly used in
fancy cabinet work ebony comes most
ly from Ceylon and Madagascar, and is
sold by importers at eight cents per
pound. Satin wood is grown on the
island of San Domingo and in Porto
Rico. It is one of the beautiful woods
and is described as a “canary yellow.”
In the log it sells at seventy-tive cents
per foot. Tulip wood is but little used.
It is imported more for turning and in
laying than anything else. It is found
in Central America, and when brought
to New York sells for eight cents per
pound.—Boston Transcript.

flow Ktectrtolty In “Stored.”
The energy which a current may at
any instant bo said to possess is imme
inediately transformed into heat in the
circuit, which will under certain condi
tions produce light; into chemical en
ergy ; into motion, which may or may
not produce sound, or into magnetic
and electrotonic conditions. The last
may either be permanent or have the
same evanescent existence as the origi
nal current
When electricity is employed to
cl large a storago battery, only that part
which is transformed into chemical
energy is used. The rest is dissipated.
The battery, then, instead of being a
place where electricity is laid away, is
a place where chemicals are left by the
current, with the expectation that they
will in turn produce a current when
called upon. This inay soem a fine
distinction, but it isonly apparently so.
For instance, the current might be
produced by a dynamo turned by Ni
agara water power. The chemical left
by it might be zinc deposited from a
solution of zinc sulphate. This might
be transported, preserved, bought and
sold, and finally be employed by some
physicist to produce another current
Were the electricity itself stored in its
original form, then the imaginative
reader can best tell what would become
of it and how it mast be handled.—
Professor Samuel Sheldon in Popular
Science.
The **Ncck Verge.”
The “Neck Verso” is the first verso of
the fifty-first Psalm. “Have mercy
upon me, O God, according to thy
loving kindness: according to the mul
titnde of thy tender mercies blot out
my transgressions. ” It was so called
because when a criminal under the En
glish law claimed the “benefit of clergy”
this verso was used as a test. The only
evidence of the condemned being a
priest was an ability to read, and if he
could read this verse his neck was safe,
for no civil court could send him to the
gallows. The law exempting clergy
from civil penalties was established
daring the reign of William Itufus, and
continued in force till about the middle
of the Seventeenth century.
It was often abused, for kindly dis
posed clergyman would frequently
teach persons unjustly accused the
verse in question, and even render
them assistance in repeating it in court;
but the disuse of the law was the nat
ural result of a change in public senti
ment with regard to the responsibility
of the clergy and of the more general
diffusion of knowledge, so that an
ability to road was no longer regarded
as an evidence of having taken clerical
orders. —St. Louis Globe-Democrat
Silk Stockings.
Queen Elizabeth started the style of
wearing silk stockings, and when some
kind and loving husband looks over his
wife’s bills ut the cud of the month,
with silk stockings all the way from |5
up, he can think of Elizabeth and
swear. As a matter of fact the silk
worm began to kick up its heels in
early Greece, and then gradually worked
its way into Italy, and in the time of
Henry II of England the silk era was
beginning to dawn Silk stockings in
those days, however, were few and far
between, and when a pair of them
was presented to Edward VI by Sir
Thomas Gresham the king hugged
himself with joy. Queen Elizabeth got
her first pair from her silk woman, Mrs.
Montague, and after she had worn
them once she declared she never
would go back to cotton, which is all
tho more extraordinary, as Elizabeth
had no husband and bad to j>ay her
own bills.--Cloak and Suit Review.
The Oldest Oame of ltall.
Court tennis is the oldest game of
ball that we have—that Is to say, it
goes back farther in its present form
than any other.
Games of ball of some kind go back
so far that there is no trace of theif be
ginning. In their simplest form the
ball was thrown from one man to an
other. If wo carry the process one
step farther and imagine the ball, or
wliatever stood in its place, to be hit*
back with the hand, instead of being
caught and thrown, we have at once
hand ball, the original of all games
like tennis, rackets, etc. Indeed, the
French name for teimis remains paume
to this day, because tho ball was struck
with tho palm of the hand.—James
Dwight in Scribner’s.
Hair l’artetl on the Hide.
Frank Cushing the other night de
scribed a quaint poetic idea of tlie
Ztmis in regard to tho reflection of the
moon in the water. The reflection is
called the “younger sister of tltc moon,”
because she alwuvs appears at night
when tho moon appears, and always
looks up to tho latter. This little sister
is considered the goddess of love and
coquetry, and the tradition exists
among the women that long ago she
decreed that they should wear their
hair parted on the side. The Zuoi
women, just like their higher bred sis
ters, of course religiously follow the
dictates of the goddess of love and
coquetry. —Buffalo Express.
A Wlite Editor'll Advice.
If you were to see two young women
in a room, my sou, one pretty and the
other plain, you would naturally kiss
the pretty one if you should kiss either;
but in so doing you use poor judgment
If you kiss the pretty one she will not
appreciate the favor, while tho ugly
one will be affronted. But if you kiss
the plain one she will be duly grateful,
and the handsome one will look upon
the transaction as a fine bit of sarcasm,
of which the ugly girl is the mark.

FLUTES OF THE PYRAMID 3.
Played 8,000 Year* After Burial TNey
Show That Egyptian* Mad Our Scale.
A number of eminent musicians were
invited to listen to a highly interesting
lecture delivered to the Royal academy
students by Mr. T. L. Southgate upon
ancient Egyptian musical instruments
in general, and upon the double pipes
recently discovered by Mr. Flinders Pe
trie in the tomb at Kahun in particu
lar. From tho fact that the flutes
shown in tho frescoes were of varions
lengths, Mr. Southgate conjectured that
the Egyptians almost from the timo of
Moses must have hod knowledge of
some sort if l harmony, while as in one
of the fflnto performers
were simultaneously playing, an eighth
had what he whimsically described as
‘ ‘fifty bars rest. ”
Still more interesting was the exhibi
tion of the actual flutes discovered in
tho lady’s sarcophagus at Kahun, and
indisputably dating before the time of
King David of Israel. Performed upon
(and the task of playing these archaic
instruments is now most difficult) by
Mr. J. Finn, they yesterday gave prac
tically the exact notes of our diatonic
scale, thus proving in every sense of
the term to actual demonstration that
our scale was known to the Egyptians
many centuries before the Greeks, from
whom it had erroneously been sup
posed we borrowed it
No attempt was made to perform
upon the double flute, and indeed if
ever tho two were played together the
art is now lost. But upon a copy of
one of these ancient flutes Mr. Finn
performed a very ancient funeral dirge
entitled “The Song of Sonus.” The
tone of these instruments, we may add,
in no way resembles that of the flutes
today. It to a certain extent recalls
the drono of the bagpipe, although one
prominent musician yesterday irrever
ently likened it to the sound of the
small tooth comb and tissue paper of
cliildhood’s dgys.
Many other copies of ancient instru
ments were tried, among them a
replica of a flute (discovered two years
ago by a French saVant), with eleven
holes, the approximate date being 1575
B. C.—that is to say, during the period
that the Israelites were still in Egypt.
To “stop" eleven holes in a flute would
seem to demand that one of the hands
should liavo an extra finger, but Mr.
Finn after many trials has succeeded
in doing it, and the notes given were
practically those of our chromatic
scale. From these and other facts Mr.
Southgate in tho peroration to his very
valuable lecture contended that the
tonality of the ancient Egyptians was
the source of our own music, and
ceKainly none of the musicians present
were willing to contradict a doctrine
which seems quite feasible.—Loudon
News.
A Hundred and Forty Religions.
The census announcement that there
are a hundred and forty religious bodies
in the exclusive of many
independent congregations, will be re
ceived with some surprise, by most peo
pie whose knowledge of different sects
dot's not embrace more than a dozen
or twonty at the most. In tile list as
disclosed by the bulletin Issued by the
census bureau from Washington are
the Genera]-Six-I’rineiple Baptists, the
rich work foldians, the Tlieosopliie.il so
ciety, the Life and Advent union, and
others which to a majority of people
will be entirely new.
With a hundred aifd forty creeds
formally adopted and “many indepen
dent organizations” with their own no
tions besides, the task of those who fa
vor church union is difficult indeed. If
only th<‘ more numerous denominations
existed the labor of effecting a unity of
churches with regard to polity and the
more essential doctrines might be easier,
but what slm.ll be said when a hundred
little denominations, sturdy in their be
liefs and customs, are in the field loth
to give them up?—Providence Journal
The Little Men of Africa.
As a rough mode of estimating their
height any person 5 feet 6 inches high
could use a crutch which would be
within nil inch of the exact standard of
the adult male or female pigmies. But
the dwarfs, like ordinary humanity,
vary considerably In height. We have
measured a few who were only 33
inches high, and the tallest of the un
adulterated specimens that we met
would not exceed 4 feet 4 inches.
As they advanced toward us tlirough
the camp we often thought tliat the
scouts had only captured a lot of chil
dren, but a nearer view would show
full grown women with well developed
breasts, who had clearly experienced
the troubles of maternity, or adult
males well advanced beyond tho twen
ties. The Zanzibari boys of 14 and 15
years would often range themselves
alongside of the men to measure them
selves, and would unuiifest with loud
laughter their pleasure at the discovery
that there were fathers of families in
existence not so tall as they.—llenry
