The United States as a country is now supplying Great Britain with all sorts of necessary military supplies to crush the life out of the two South African republics. There is money in it. But, as the Keokuk Constitution Democrat says, "the McKinley ad ministration "is so excessively pro British that while permitting this without protest it has no word of svmDatbv for President Kru?er and the Boers, who re bravelv standing up for the same principles of liberty and independence that Washington and the Americans fought for in 176. If France about that time had stood coldly aloof from the American cause and furnished the armies of Burgoyne, Clinton and Cornwallis with neces sary military supplies, as we are to day furnishing the army of Roberts, history might hare read a little dif ferent.

I looked down. and there was a -swift tide swirling around the edges of the piers. It seem ed to me I should surely be killed. I clasped both arms around tbe beam on which I was working and lav there. Just clinging to it, for 1!0 minutes. Luck ily for me, the foreman, who was near me, saw -what was tbe matter and had sense enough not to speak to me. If be bad, I know I should certainly have fallen off. He kept on working, and I clung helplessly to the beam. Finally, In a gruff voice, he growled at me: 'Say, git out o' there: I want to put a rivet there. And I. obedient to an instinct of duty, found myself moving along. The feeling passed away as I did move and didn't come back." "tnen I was in Peru building bridges," said an engineer.

These men will be welcomed into the democratic party whether they were McKinley demo crats or McKinley republicans, but they will not be allowed to make the democratic platform. Tbe men who controled the convention four years ago are greater in the majority than they were in iat, ana it is not likely that they will submit to the dictation of a faction that refnsed to support the regular democratic nominees. It is the duty of the party to receive all prodigals, as well as ail converts, with kindness and even with enthusi asm, but it should be remembered that they are coming to usfwe are not goinj to them. All Fools Day. ue custom or piaymg pranks on April fools day probably had Its origin In France, the first nation to begin the new year Jan. 1 instead of March 23. Before the change April 1 was the day when the merrymaking of the 2Cew learn celebration culminate! in the paying of gifts and visits In return for those already bestowed. When the re formed calendar in l."04 made the 1st of January the beginning of the new year, April 1 was the time for pre tended gifts and visits of mock cere mony to make fools of those who bad forgotten the change in dates. The Romans had a holiday similar In character to this, although not coming at the same time of year, the satur nalia, and in Hindustan the feast of the Huli, on March 31, has for its chief diversion the sending of people on fruitless errands. In Scotland they have a trick for April fools' day which never grows stale. If a fellow can be found simple enough to undertake it, he is given a note to carry to a certain person. He reads it and says it is not for him, but that he is to go to naming another man and from there he Is sent to an other and so on until the bearer grows tired or sees a light. The note con tains tbe lines: Ola War ( Sarlmkla Tsjeaa an and tke Madera. Way. The old way of putting a tire on a wheel was to Shrink it n. The tire was made just a trifle smaller than the wheel and then heated, with the result of expanding it slightly. When thus heated it was crowded down over the rim of the wheel and then cooled with water to keep It from burning the wheel and also to contract it. Cool ing, it was shrunk on to bind the wheel tightly. The modern way of putting a tire on " a wheel Ms with a hydraulic tire setting press. By this method the tire is made just a trifle larger than tbe wheel, so that It will go over the rim freely. The bed of this press, upon which the wheel lies horizontally, with an open ing at the center for the hub, is com posed of IS sections, radiating from the center and in shape like the spaces between the spokes of a wheel. The outer end of each section Is turned rip ward, the turned up ends making a continuous flange, or collar, all around the bed of the press. Each one of the sections has niuler it a hydraulic cylin der, and the sections "are all arranged to work to a common center. , In use the wheel is laid on the press with the cold tire around It within that turned tip collar, or flange around the edge. When tbe press is set in operation, the collar, or flange. Is irresistibly contract ed. When it comes in contact with the tire around the wheel, it does not bring up against it, but keeps on contracting just the Manic, now contracting the tire as well and setting It upon the wheel, the pressure being continued until the wheel itself has been brought to the requisite degree of dishing.

Mark Hanna has not yet made public the name of the man he in tends to nominate for vice president. Thk average republican editor is so grief-stricken over ingusn losses in South Africa that nothing but a ticket tn the republican national convention will console him. Inequality. The law says.

But if a man steals a horse they hound bun with bloodhounds; if he organizes a tru9t. they give him a banquet. W. J. Bryan. A few credulous, republicans had supposed that their party would re pudiate Mark Hanna, but the Ohio Mate convention has shown them that they are still following his lead. Thk strikes all over the country that marked the advent of May afford but another instance of tbe heaping over prosjerity and good times that we must keep so iixedly in our minds in this presidential year.

She sat.iu a car with :i little smile of satisfaction on her f:u-c, for she was well and tastefeily dressed, and that means a great deal to a woman. As she moved up to make room for a new comer a man entered, and as he sat down he said to the comfortable one: Why, Jane, this isn't your afternoon off: How did they tome to let you out today r The young woman grew very red In the face, for all the occupants of the car were looking and listening, and stammered out as she half rose and then fell back In her seat: "Now look here" "How well you're dressed, tool" con tinued her tormentor. "They must give you ?-0 a month. Ir.hf Is your mistress about your sise'f" 'Now, do be quiet:" cried the uncom fortable one. "If you think" 'Diamonds, too." went on the miser able man as be caught a flash from her waving fingers. "Or are they artifi cial?" The tormented one sprang up, 8top- ped the car aud made a rapid exit, followed by the cause of the trouble, whose farewell remark to the inmates of the car was: "Well, well, but some peoplo are too sensitive:" They were huband and wife, and this was his weird idea of taking his revenge for a curtain lecture. I hila- dclphla Times. EK Soperst ltlon. There are many superstitions about the egg. In Scotland and Ireland chil dren are taught by their nurses to crush tbe shell ;ifter eatins; an egg or to push the spoon through the bottom in the form of u cross, showing a lin gering relic of the once general super stitious belief that witches lived In eggshells and inad boats of 'them, casting spells upou the household. in Italy it was believed that an egg laid by a white hen In a new nest on Easter day would cure pains in the head or stomach; that broken in a vineyard it would prevent. Its suffering from hail or similarly would save a field from frost, and Its possession gave one the power to see witches. It was also believed that an egg laid on Good Friday, thrown on the fire, would extinguish it, while the devil would be killed if shot with an egg laid on Christmas. Self Culture Magazine.
