The Man the Country Needs for Pres- ident. The New York World wired ex- Congressman W. A. B. Branch, of this district, askin his opinion of We J. Bryan, Democratic vominee for | President and what he thought of his if elected President. Mr. Branch sent the following to the World, which been given pcrmission to publish : ‘“Bryaa as President wiil be the administration the Reriectror has equal of any since the days ot Jefferson. Raised among the people he has seen and felt their troubles and_ sufferings eaused by ahigh protective tariff and an ever increasing standard. His hearé is fullof sympathy for all. He willas President know ano sec.ion, no class, but be the President of the entire country. Being unmortgaged to the trusts and other interests which oppress a great people, he will be free to use every means at his command to_ place the entire country upon the the high road of prosperity, to start. every wheel of every manufacturing industry from Maine to Texas, trom North Carolina t» California, to adjust the currency of the country to a basis that will make panics unnecessary and the manufacture of them impossible ; to give those who | desire to earn an honest livelihood a chance, and to give the sons of toil, whether in the mines, iu the cities, or under the midday sun of the open fields, an opportunity once more to prosper and to live as free men and Americans. His after his nomination in declaring that under no circumstances if seated would he be a candidate for re-election marks him as honest, sincere and trying to put y | himself beyond the power of doing things to serve his own ambitious ends.” (eectereamentnan QUAINT AND CURIOUS.

It is a strange thing that the man who knows exactly how to run a news- | paper is always engaged in some other kind of business. The old fashioned schoolmaster dif- fered from lightning, because he struck several times in one place, if it was broad enough. When the girls order slippers two sizes too small for them, you van make up your mind that the croquet season is on its way.

How It Became a Symbol of Liberty an Fraternity. The mustache, that questionable adornment of a man’s upper lip, is trembling in the balance. The fashion- ible man of the hour who eschews this time-bonored ornament will tell you that it is a crying and unnecessary evil, and is bound to go. And where can one find a better criterion of such momen- tous subjects than the fashionable man ot the hour? In years to come the grandchildren of a beardless race may have to turn to their encyclopedias to find out what a mustache was. Antici- psting this, says the Cincinnati Enquir- er, a sort of advance sheet may be found in the following: The home of the mustache is in Spain. After the Moors first invaded the coun- try the Christian and Moslem popula- tion became so mixed that it was difli- cult to say which were Moors and which were Spaniards. The Spanish then hit upon a means by which they could at once distin- guish their brethren. They did not shave their lips any longer, and they allowed a tuft of hair to grow below the mouth, so that their beards formed the rude outline of a cross. Thus the mustache became a symbol of liberty and fraternity. ow ~ Distorting the Sun. Observations made at the Kharkoff observatory last year indicate that the forces which produce the black spots on the sun may have a wonderful effect in heaping up the solar surface in the neighborhood where the spots exist. Some of the measurements showed that a line through the center of the sun from a group of spots to the opposite side was as much as 200 miles longer §| than other adjacent diameters of the sun, This seems to-show that the'sur- face of the radiant globe is swollen out at the points where great eruptions oc- cur.—Youth’s Companion. Salling Round the World Alone. Capt. Joshua Slocum, who sailed from East Boston nearly a year ago to circumnavigate the globe in his 40-foot sloop Spray, has been heard from as being at Sandy Point, in the Straits of Magellan, on February 16. His original intention was to make the trip to the westward by the way of the Isthmus of Panama, but finding that it would be impossible to transport his vessel across the isthmus, he determined to make the journey by sailing east.
