Do yon know tliat in 1850' you
owned 85per cent, of the taxable
property in the United Slates?
Again, do you know that it is now
conceded that yon do not own oyer
24 per cent, of the yalne ofthe tax
able property? Can yon tell how
this vast shrinkage has occurred?
Do yon know that had your inter
ests increased as fast as protected
interests that you ought to be
worth $20,000 to the family on the
average. Now don’t yon feel and
know that there is something car
dinally wrong in the republican
policy.
The greatest good to the great
est number is the true, theory of a
democracy, and don’t you feel like
the odd man in a baker’s dozen?
Do yon know that your present
congress has fastened upon you
overg $100,000,000 for pensions,
some $18,000,000 for rivers and
harbors and untold millions put in
prospective for one thing and an
other? Do you know since the
war you have paid in taxes, one
way and another five times the
amount of the national debt, and
by republican legerdemain that
debt represents'as great value to
day as it did at the close of the
war.
An English woman resident in
Syria reports the discovery near
Beyroot of a bedstead made of
gold and silver and inlaid with
precious stones. An inscription
upon it in English characters states
that it'belonged to Eleanor, Queen
of England. The bedstead was
discovered in a cave, and is sup
posed to have been placed there for
security when Edward I. left for
the east.

Unless we can accept the theo
ries about the old mill at Newport,
E. L, which ascribes its origin to
the Norsemen, the oldest house in
America is the stone fort erected
by John Smith “as a retreat neere
a convenient river hard to be as
sailed and easie to be defended,
but the want of corne occasioned
the end of all our worke—it being
worke sufficient to provide vict-
uall.” The. house stanus near the
York Eiver on the Ware creek, in
Yirgina- It is immensely strong,
being built of hewn stones with
thick while. There is subterrane
an magazine and port holes for
muskets. Popular superstition has
peopled it from time to time with
ghostly visitors-Pocahontas, Black
Beard the nirate, Nathaniel Bacon
and his followers. It is a desolate

bats and owls' innumerable.
The cost of the proposed Nica
ragua Canal is now placed at S65,-
000,000. The distance between
the oceans is 169 miles, but only
twenty-nine .miles, of .canal will
have to be dug.. The San Juan
Eiver must be deepened, and some
artificial basins constructed in the
valleys of other streams. Lake
Nicaragua affords fifty miles of
free, sailing. The Suez Canal,
which was cut out of the soil aid
sand for 100 miles, cost $81,000,-
000.
A peculiar freak of nature was
discovered at Palmyra a few days
ago. A farmer’s wife brought in
from the poultry yard a' large
hen’s egg; On examination it was
found to contain a well-developed
yolk and white together with a
well-formed egg of smaller dimen
sions, the size of a guinea’s egg,
with a shell as solid as the outer
one.
An English scientific person has
discovered that sitting down is an
aquired habit. The majority of
mankid do not sit, but simply
squat, or,/as it is sometimes said,
sit on their heels. This position,
the scientific person thinks, is the
natural one, while sitting on a
chair is an artificial one.
A huge catfish was found alive
imbedded in a bollow log in a mill
dam at Martindale. It swam in a
small hole when a little fish and
was unable to find its way out and
grew in thelog.—Exchange.
Here is one of Sam Jones gems:
“Take this thing of pensions. I
told a gathering ou union soldiers
not long ago, that if we rebels had
known how many of them we had
crippled we would have rallied and
come at them again. If they are
swearing the truth now they were
worse whipped than we were.”

Eczema Cured by S..S. S.
Mrs. S. Renault, Waldo, Fla.,
v,’rites the following under date of
Feb. 11, 1890: “I suffered with
Eczema for ' about two years
About this time I was advised by
friends to try your Swift's Spe
cific ('S. S. S.) and I am happy to
say that after using six bottles I
was entirely cured, and I never
lose an opportunity of recommend
ing it to any one I find suffering
from any disease of the blood.”
HE Profits by His Priends Experience.
“I hav9 been troubled with pim
ples and blotches on my face for
years, during which time I tried
numbers of standard remedies
without receiving any benefit.
Profiting by the advice and experi
ence of a friend I commenced tak
ing Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) and
the effect it had on me overshad
owed all expectations. After tax
ing two bottles the pimples and
blotches entirely disappeared, and
my skin is clear and without a
blemish.”

According to the Detroit Free
Press, a Chinaman who won’t raise
ducks is looked upon as an enemy
to the Empire. What the hen

only a great deal more so. Duck

ducks’ eggs fried, boiled and scram
bled, are found on every China
man’s table at almost every meal.
A well-known traveling agent
for a Philadelphia carriage paper

quart stewed potatoes, one dozen
corn cakes and three quarts of

the Palladium of that city. The

BEOIABEABLE BESCVE.
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,
HL, makes the statement that she
caught, which settled on her lungs;!
she was treated for a month by
her family physician, but grew
worse. He told her she was a
hopeless victim of consumption
and that no medicine could cure
her. Her druggist suggested Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Con
sumption-; she bbught a bottle and
to her delight found herself bene-
fitted from the first dose. She con
