Tho compromise of principle

With renewed energy they con-

from the people, less responsible

and dismay they found Senators
representing Democratic

protection and demanded its ob-

Carroll and
T. H. Briggs, the Englishman who
recently made an expose of some of
the phenomenal feats performed by
Gaza, tho female showing
that they were easily explained on
the scientific principle of the lever,
recently gave an Interesting
of the same principle when
plied to draft horses.
Mr. Briggs performed some feats
of strength that would be thought
Incredible outside a theater or a cir-
but he explained them all on
scientific principles.
He called out two of tho largest
and strongest firemen present. They
both grasped a pitchfork handle
about eight feet long. Mr. Briggs,
who weighs less than one hundred and
sixty pounds and is undersized at
that, stood opposite. He balanced
himself on one foot and then, taking
hold of the handle, told them to
push. He easily pushed them back-
ward, merely requiring that they
push downward while he pushed up-
ward, thereby getting the benefit of
their weight.
He next grasped the hand of the
biggest fireman and told him to pull.
The giant jerked him half way across
the room. He had a spectator mount
his back and then tried the pull. This
time he pulled the fireman over with
comparative ease. All this was in-
as an exhibition, but
seemed like or sleight of
hand. Mr. purpose was,
however, to illustrate the principle
and law of the lever. He explained
that it was strength, that
counted in the push or pull.
He next brought out a number of
models of draft horses and carts at-
and showed how the same
principle helped or impeded a draft
horse while pulling a load. If tho
traces were inclined so that tho
wagon end was lower than the horse's
the horse gained additional
weight and could pull more, and vice
versa. This increased weight of the
horse, he explained, was an ad-
vantage only when starting a heavy
load, after that it would only fatigue
the animal sooner. The object, then,
was obviously an arrangement that
enabled the horse to have added
weight when starting a heavy load
and only its natural weight or less
when moving along with it.
When he had made this clear to
his hearers Mr. Briggs invited them
outside to sec a vehicle equipped
with an automatic arrangement of
the shafts and trace attachments
that accomplished what was wanted.
He showed how the horse hitched to
this could start a heavier load than
with ordinary traces and how the at-
then adjusted itself so
that the horse could travel without
increasing its weight by a pull on
the traces.
Tho vehicle was placed on an in-
plane, but none present could
start it by pulling on the shafts. By
taking hold the adjustment in-
vented by Mr. Briggs, which ex-
tended along the shaft but joined
tho vehicle at a lower point, this
was easily done. It was soon clear
to those present that pulling tho
vehicle by Mr. appliance was
vastly easier than by the ordinary

Little Auk of the North
Neighborhood.
A few weeks ago a very odd-look-
bird was seen on the ocean beach
at Conn. It is a pity
that it could not have caught,
instead of being shot as it was, for a
local ornithologist discovered it to
be a little auk that had strayed
away from its home within the arctic
circle.
The man who shot it it mount-
ed, and set it up in his home. It Is
as big as a full-blown
blossom, plump as a pullet, with
little, short wings. About its head,
neck and shoulders is a cape of black,
i glossy feathers, while its breast is
as white as snow. Its dark wings
arc tipped with white patches, and
its bill is as black as coal. It is
web-footed, and, from the tip of its
bill to the end of its tail feathers, it
is eight inches long.
Mariners who sail in Arctic waters
call the little auk the Greenland
dove. It especially loves the snowy
region invested by the arctic circle,
and ornithologists say that If the
north pole should ever be discovered
flocks of these little birds will be
found in the neighborhood.
In of its short wings the
little auk travels through the air
like a rifle shot; it dives expertly
and can swim under water. It is
perfectly at home whether afloat or
ashore, and when weary of sea-
faring tucks its head under Its wing
and goes to in the
cradle of the It subsists on
fish and small crabs and lays one
egg of a pale greenish blue, like the
northern Days.

THE BEST MAN.
His Arduous Duties Before and After
the Wedding.
For twenty-four hours before the
wedding the best man is the
owner of the groom. He tacitly
undertakes to produce the groom at
the church, suitably
and in his right mind or else
to take his place. If the groom
shows symptoms of running away
ha must shackle him. Some best
men invariably handcuff themselves
to their grooms in the morning of
the day before the wedding as a
precaution against
dents, for when the best man's con-
has been abused once or
twice it makes him cautious. He
up early tho next morning,
must see that the bridesmaids have
all received their bouquets, that he
has the minister's money in the right
pocket, that he has a wedding ring
in each of his pockets, that the car-
orders arc understood, that
the has made adequate pro-
visions for his wedding journey and
that the ushers are presentable and
can walk. All this he must do with-
out letting the groom his sight.
When the wedding is over and he
has consigned his charge to the care
of the bride he. takes the groom's
place as host and sees, in particular,
that the groom's friends from out of
town arc suitably entertained and
shipped home at convenient inter-
on their proper trains. Only
when the lust of them is pone can he
call his man and go home to bed.
Is a man ever best man more than
once
Some, very popular men have been
best man as often as a dozen times,
but usually one or two experiences
are enough to convince the
that matrimony itself is a
less trying Y. Life.
ENGLAND'S FISCAL SYSTEM.
Great Britain's Many Sources of Na-
Income.
Great Britain has a wider range
of sources of national income than
the United States. Instead of two
main sources the British govern-
has four. The two largest are
like our duties and in-
revenue on spirits.
The other two arc the income tax
and a series of imposts known as
stamp taxes. These stamp taxes
are collected on all kinds of legal
transactions, and tho great bulk of
these pertain to the settling of es-
and arc known us death duties
i. e., taxes upon the probating of
upon legacies and upon
cessions. Stamps upon deeds, re-
insurance policies, patent
medicine packages and various
papers and transactions make up
the rest. There is a small national
land tax and a house duty that yield
some revenue, and the operation of
the post office is somewhat profit-
able. The elastic clement in the
English system is the income tax,
which is made higher or lower to
meet the situation. The condensed

Populism means hate, discord,
Look at the two
or three States that have
list Governors. They in a
constant state of turmoil and are
almost continually on the verge of
anarchy and civil war. Kansas
has had her war over the
in which Governor
came out in disgrace almost
as deep as when the female crank
and agitator, Mrs. Lease, trapped
him in the courts. Governor
of Oregon, has had his
various and sundry wordy wars.
Governor Waite, of Colorado, has
also fought with his mouth
with great bold-
even threatening to ride up
to his bridle bits in blood if all
things were not arranged to suit
him, but. he never met grim-vis-
aged war face to face, with his
shooting irons in his hand, till
the other day. The
did not find the Governor in a
mood to make an object lesson of
his name. He did not wait but
hurried away. The origin of the
war is an indifferent matter.
Certain police commissioners of
Denver were ordered by the Gov-
to resign and got out an in-
junction from the
the Governor to
in demand for their
nation till the matter be
decided. He refused to
wait, but called out the militia
and marched in the city hall to
dispossess tho police commission-
These worthies had collect-
ed their police and a special gang
of a hundred or so bold, bad men
from Bloody Gulch, who had rep
as all arm-
ed to the teeth, and they were
quietly waiting to give the Gov-
and his militia a rousing
reception The Governor's ardor
cooled and he decided at last to
wait, calling on Grover Cleveland,
the President he has abused so
much, to send General
and a regiment of S- troops to
Denver to protect him. The only
moral there is in this is the on e
that shows to what a lamentable
condition a community is brought

that the North Carolina

Two ago tho nation-

say now, that it was useless for a
great political party to divide and
bitterly disagree over men. How
wise were our admonitions do
not pretend to say. We only
know that Cleveland has greatly
disappointed people in every
section of the country; and we
have no reason to believe that it
would have boon bettor if Hill
had boon nominated elected,
