Editok Heiiald: The Bryan club has challenged tho McKinley club in Box Butto precinct for a joint discussion on tho monoy question but threo of their loaders politely declined, saying that tho money question is too deep for the farmers to talk on and that a farmer would only spoil thoir side and McKinley would bo the loser. Now Mr. Editor thoBe republican howlors remind mo of a story: Farmer Brown met Farmer Mc- Ginty. Brown bet McGinty ono dollar to a pint that McG. counldn't swallow an egg without breaking tho sholl, but after McG. swallow ed tho egg a second sober thought struck him, saying if I jump about I'll break that egg and cut ray stomach with tho shell; if I keep quite tho darn thing will hatch out and I'll have a shanghai rooster clawing my insides. Now Mr. Editor we want to say to those few rural gold bugs that whenever their stomachs aro strong enough to endure sound argument on tho money question from tho farmers standpoint the Bryans will be glad to meot them any time in Box Uutto precinct between now and election.

It Is intended that the existing na tional debt of Japan, Including the for eign and home loans, war loans and the industrial loan shall be redeemed In thirty-eight years. The debt Includes the fund ralaed for commuting the rev enues of tho feudal chiefs, for the build ing of railways, docks, lighthouses and public buildings as well as for estab lishing telegraphs and other industrial enterprises. Tho sum required for tho servlco of the debt In 1901, wheu the debt reaches Its highest figure, will, as near as can be estimated, equal 25t per cent of the revenue. In Great Britain 26 per cent is required, in Franco 37 per cent, In Italy 40 per cent nnd in tho United States 6 per cent London News.

' There la nothing bo absolutely fool lsh and untemunerntlvo as the falsa pride which attempts a style of living beyond tho means of the Individual, whoso only incentlvo thereto Is that others In her Bet do thus and so, and therefore it is incumbent upon her to do Ilkowiao, says tho New York Trl- bune. To Btrlvo to keep up to a certain standard, without tho meanB to do bo comfortably or successfully, Is of all things most wearing and dispiriting. Many a woman at the end of the season asks herself what It Is all worth, and thinks how foolish sha has been to waste time, energy and money to gain the favor of certain people who havo so much that they count for nothing the efforts mado to plcaso them and consider they are conferring a favor by accepting Invitations. Yet, despite her experience of tho vanity and hol low sham of It all, the chances are ten to one that such a woman will begin her poor, pitiful worldly campaign tho next seapon with renewed vL"r, and that she will again sacrifice herself and family to this Moloch of modern so ciety called public opinion. If only these poor, hard-working, weary deni zens of vanity fair realized that sucb. striving is not only fruitless, but de rogatory, that the very people whose acquaintance and friendship they aro most anxious to secure would like and respect them far more if they were simple and honest and hospitable ac cording to their means, it would savo them no end of trouble and discour agement. "Wo dined at Mrs. A.b tho other evpnlng," sal-' the sensible wife of one of our multi-millionaires, "and enjoyed It so much. She lives in n tiny apartment and has only two maids, and she gives us the simplest little dinner, but so good, and such a relief after the elaborate affairs one generally has to sit through. Just coup, fish, a fillet of beef, an entree and a sweet, everything In such excellent taste, and only eight at table, but Just tho people one wanted to see. 'Do ask me again,' my husband said to her as wo woie leaving. 'I have not enjoyed myself so much this winter, and ho really meant It. Wo took dinner wlth some one else, who shall be nameless, a couple of evenings afterward. Such a tiresome experience as It was! The dinner was poor nnd yet very elab orate, and everything was on a scale too big for the house. 'What a mis take those people make, I said as wo were driving home, 'and how anxlou9 nnd fagged Mrs. looked.' 'I pre- surao they are living beyond their means,' was my husband's manlike conclusion. ' came to me the other day to got me to go Into some new en terprise In which he is Interested, but I guess I'll keep out of it.' " "How tired nnd discontented Mrs. Clymber looks," remarked one of her acquaintances, "and yet she has made a success of It this winter, every ono says." "She lias bought her victory too dear," answered some ono who was presont. "She has spent more than she enn afford. She bnd offended her old friends, and what has she gainodt Toleration only from the set she has set her heart upon belonging to. No wonder that she finds the apples of Sodom dust and ashe3 yet she will continue to reach after them with th(? samo eagerness next season." CAMBRIAN ETYMOLOGY. Localities Id tho IlritMh Iilea The. ItetHln Oltlo Names. Many localities retain the names, original' bestowetf upon them by tho Celtic Britons, those, for example, which have tho prefix cum, which is the Welsh crom, a valley, says tho Gentlemen's Magazine. Anderson, tho local poet, enumerates them: There's Cumwhltton, Cumwhlnon, Cumranton Cumrangan, Curnrew and Cumcatch, And mony malr cums In tho county. But nln wl' Cnmdivock can match. Some of the above nameB, It will bo observed have the Anglo-Saxon "ton" superadded to them. The familiar Celtic prefixes, pen, a hilltop and cnor, a fortress, appear In Penrith and Pcnrudock (which both signify "red hill"), Cardurnock and Carlisle or Caer-Leol. Durnock may be the Gaelic dwr-cnoc, "water hill" or else a proper name. Leol Is merely a contraction of Luguvalllum, tho Ro man name of Carlisle, and the Latin ized form of some unpronounceable ap pellation by which tho Britons desig nated the site of that city. In Talkin wo recognize the Celtic word, taken, a brow, and In Castlo Carrock we may trace the Gaelic car ragh (which metins a largo stone set on end) or tho Welsh careg, a rock. Tho river names of tho county, aro for the most part of Celtlo origin. Thus the Irthlng, wandering over tho allu vial plain, is believed to derive Its name from the Welsh gwryddu, to to writhe or turn, and the Gelt, dashing over its bed of red sandstone, from the Celtic gait, a rock. Of mountain names Helvellyn, the yellow mountain: Itlvelyn, the red mountain, and Blencathra, tho seat mountain (the ancient name of Saddle back), aro Celtic. The Gaelic word cathalr and Welsh cader mean a chair and Blaen In a Welsh term for a hill top, occurring In other local uamoa, such as Blcncow and Blenncrhasset. A Skill Thitt VnnUhev. She paused to watch the boyB play ing mumblety peg. "Isn't it remarkable," he said, "how cleverly a boy can handle a knife?" "Yes," Bho answered, wIUi a eigh; "and It's more remarkabU. to think how he loses it all when he grows up and ought to be able to carve." Wash ington Star. .. 1 I;;. - W-
