The senate took up the republican

rapid progress and if it is kept up the
bill will soon be passed.
The governor of Nevada, in his
Thanksgiving proclamation, stirred up
the denvcruts of that state wonderfully,
and all about nothing. The governor
merely remarked in that document that
with malice toward none and and char
ity for all, we ought to be thanklul that
the issues of the late political controversy
have ended so favorably for the future
happiness and prosperity of our people."
The style is a little unusual, but there's
nothing wrong about that. Lincoln

The Ilaytien Consul-General's denial
of the stories told, t-y the officers and
crew of the Ilaytien Republic would be
more appealing had he lw?en at l'ort-au-I'rice

took place there. If the score of quarel
some little states down in the tropics
must fight and harass themselves and
each other eternally they should be given
clearly to understand that they must
keep their hands off Americans and
American property or be able to give an
all-satisfying reason for any other course.

i-ortl says that within the past month $7,
GIO.OOO of Northern capital has been in
vested in Alabama, Tennessee, North
Carolina, Florida and Texas. It is this
ttrcam of Northern capital, which is
pouring into the south, month after
month and year after year, which is rais
ing up an industrial class in the latter
section which will blot out its big dem
ocratic majorities. Each factory in the
south wins over 100 men to the republi
cans to the one which the most eloquent
t-tump speaker could gain.
The last act in the election of a presi
dent of the United States will take place
on the second Tuesday in January. On
that date the electoral college of each
state meets at its state capitol. Tiie
electors cast their Tote for president and
vice-president. The yote is read, certified
and sealed, and three copies are prepared,
one to le takeu to Washington by a
ppeci.al messenger and one sent by mail.
The secretary of state likewise receives a
copy to lj placed in the archives of the
htate. The business of the college has
become mecanical and perfunctory. The
electors are no longer free to choose
whom they think proper persons for the
high office as was intended by the fathers
of thccpuhlic. They are mere machines,
"instructed " deletates to register tin
nation's choice. For all practical pur
poses the electoral college could be
nbolished. The peopl., by their votes on
November G. set their seal for president
and vice president, an 1 the electoral
college ineimply a survival of anobsolute

Years ago, when this part of Nebrasku
Tvas first settled, for want of crib., the
homesteader left their corn in large
heaps upon the ground without coverall
winter and the grain came out in the
spring but little damaged. The same
practice U still in vogne to a certain ex
tent, but Utly the winters have been
different and lh Uiv has been great r.
Upon tLis subject the friverrna Neics
THE i)A)!.V 11
says: "The practice of piling corn upon
the ground for lack of crib room is pre'
vailing to the usual extent this year,
True, there, is one virtue in a crib bound
ed only by the atmosphere on the hides
and the blue vault of heaven aboyc it
will hold all the corn you have to put in
it, but it is undesirable protection.' A
man blessed with an abundant crop of
corn ought to set Jthat it is to his best in
tertst to provide shelter. Each successive
year the cribs will be useful to him, and
the loss of coin by snow, rain, rats, etc..
if piled upon the ground will nearly pay
fur the lumber necessary to construct
cribs. To let the coin go uncrihbed is a
penny wise and pound foolish policy
which can only bring financial disaster
if pursued to its legitimate end." Kear

A oiiious man is seldom a breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appei ite for liquids but noue for solids

bear inspection at any time; if it is not

even!'.
Th digestive system is wholly out of
order ami diarrhea or constipation may
be n symptom or the two may alternate.
Tin r.- are often hemorrhoids or even loss
of bin": id. There may be giddiness and
often headache and acidity or flatulence
and t nderness in the pit of the stomach

Intellectual tVlves.
Do intellectual women mako the
best partnei-s of life? Emerson says
"It is not beauty that inspires the
decnest Dassion." nnd Jean Paul Rich
tcr declared that h-j v.-o ild not lead a
woman into t'nu ri '.ti i :onial noose
whom it would not ihIi;;!it to hear him
read the learned reviews of Gottingen
or the universal (h rm.iu library when
thev sounded bi.s praise though it
mijrht be in koiim dogi-eu exaggerated.
John Stuart Mill reg-aiile-d the insti
tution of marriage in its highest aim
and isjx-'ct as "union of two persons of
cultivated faculties, mdcnlical in opin
ion and puriKse;, between. whom thero
exists that best kind of equality, sim
ilarity of powers with reciprocal su
jieriority m them, so that one can
enjoy the luxury of looking up to the
other mid can have altnrimtelv tha
pleasure of leading and being led in
the path of development.
But other men of genius have
thought differently on the subject. It
is nn oft quoted Haying of Dr. John
son that a man is better pleased
when he has a good dinner on the
table than when his wife talks Greek."
Ilacino had an illiterate wifo and was
accustomed to boastfully declare that
she could not read any of bis trage
dies. Dufresnv marriad his washer
woman. Goethe's wife was a woman
of mediocre capacity. Heine said of
the woman he loved, "Sho has never
read a lino of my writings .and dots
not even know what a poet is." The

"How many of the wise and learn

Achilles and Ajax both in lovo with

jieople sat up all night to see the beau
tiful Duchess of Hamilton get into
her carriage, but would one in a thou
sand lose a wink of sleep to get a

with the Indian in Sanskrit on the
vexed problems of life?" The Interior.
The Pigeon Flyeni.
Birds are susceptible to training, as
wo all know, but it really taxes our
credulity to believe the stones told by
Charles Frederick Holder about the
pigeons of Mode na in his new book,
"A Frozen Dragon and Other Tales."
But they are strictly true for all that.
Read what ho says: A traveler in
Modena observed a youth in a pictur
esque costume leaning out of the win
dow of a stone tower, his face show
ing every evidence of excitement and
pleasure. In his hand he bore a long
staff, upon the end of which was a
colored Hag, with which he seemed to
bo signaling to some one in the dis
tance. The traveler soon distinguished
several other figures on the roofs of
various houses in tho vicinitjr, all of
whom seemed to bo answering the sig
nals. Finally all the flags were with
drawn but that held by one man. He
stationed himself upon an eminence
on tho roof, raised his staff high above
his head, and from about his feet
sprang into tho air a vast flock of
biitls. Up they rose, higher and
higher into tho heavens, waving and
turning, tho morning sun glistening
upon their varied colors as they ex
posed themselves in different positions
to its rays.
When almost out of sight they
turned, and a meteor of wings car'
rushing down with a roaring soui-
and ncaring tho housetops ag.-.i
alighted about the tall figure on ti:
lofty roof. Hardly had tins Leon dor
when another figure rose and anotl:
flock darted upward. These were pur,
white, and resembled flecks of silverv
cloud a.s they swept about. These
maneuvers were repeated two or three
times, the biixis always returning in
obedience to the waving of the flags.
In Modena there are fully 100 flocks
of these pigeons, composed of several
hundred birds each, and tney nave
been bred and trained from tho earliest
times. They understand and obey the
signals just as souuers uo on tne neiu
of battle. Sometimes the whistle is
used as a signal instead of the flag.
and they obey that too. Philadelphia

Wild Dogs of Assam.
Wherever dbgs run wild, as in Aus
tralia and in India, they show many
of tho characteristics of wolves. They
have a similar habit of hunting in
naclis. The people of Assam tell won
derful stories of tho cunning and sa-
gacitj of these wild hounds when in
pursuit of game.
Thev say that when a paci: goes out
to hunt, an old (log goes in front and
searches for fresh scent of a deer.
Having found this, ho starts off alone.
and when he has ascertained the
whereabouts of the quarry returns to
tho pack, which he then disposes in a
circle of a mile in diameter round it;
each member of the pack has a part
allotted to liim.
These precautions having been
taken, tho old general starts alone
once more in search of the victim,
and on finding gives chase. The start
led t'eer of course flics from his enemy,
who follows, giving tongue as a signal
to tho rest of the pack. The deer, far
outstripping tho dog, rushes on, but is
suddenly met in front by one of the
outlying dogs, who gives chase. The
deer, of course, turning to the right
or left, again rushes off, only to be
mot and turned by another dog.
Thus, turned at every point, the
poor animal becomes more and more
exhausted, while tho pack gradually
closes in upon it, leaving no avenue
of escape, and dozens of sharp fangs
soon feast on the victim which has in
tliis way been run to death. Youth's

Tlio WorlU'ii Kailroad Sleepers.
The six principal railway companies
of France use more than 10,000 sleepers
per day, or 3, C50, 000 per annum. In
the United States tlio consumption
amounts to 15, 000, 000 .'sleepers a year,
winch is equivalent to the destruction
of about 170.C00 acres of forest. The
annual consumption of sleepers by the
railways of tho world is estimated, at
40,000.000, and that is probably less
than the actual number. Ney? York
