It would be au excellent exereise and no little fun if the teacher would occasionally bring a bundie of business men's script and set the children to pnzzüng it out, just as they will have to a little later on in life.- Augusta (Me.)

In Buttalo the regular boarders of the hotel where Mrs. Stanley and her mothcr stayed, quietly iitted up their apartment before their arrlral with the most beautiful articles of furniture from their oirii rooms.

Brown, of Detroit, to the supreme bench in place of .Tustice Millcr deceased, is one of the very best of the many excellent appointinents made by President Harrison. Justiee Brown wil! grace the posltlon, nnd be an honor to tiie nation. He has for many year3 been a eoturer unon ftdmiralitj law in tlie uplversUy. No less than 1.30 youn womeu have taken up tlmber claims in WesteriAVashington during the past slx months, and In Eastern Washington 100 oihors have located lands. The lande that can now be had are malnly In ontlying sections somewh.it remóte from railways, and can be reached only witli some difflculty.

We are under no disadyantage in any foreign market, except that we pay our workmen and workwomen botter wages than are paid elsewhcre - better abstractly, better relatively to the cost of the necesearies of life. I do not doubt that a very largely ncreased foreign trade is accesaible to us without bartering for it either our home markets for such products of the farm and shop as our own people can supply or the wages of our working people. - President'i Meisage. An Ann Arbor man In a llttle luclined to be eontrary by nature. Now last week one of ■Ni' resldents of that city trled to suïcide by drownlng In the rlver, but persisted In trylng to crawl nnder the Ice agalnst tlie current.

Should he conclude to accept liis articles will certainly be preferable to those produced by the poll parrot political economist who makes the tariff as clear as mud to the Press readers, and who constantly sirjgs tlic Clevelandian refrain "a tariff !s a tax." The g. o. p. is still the grand old part}'. It is the party of push &nd vigor and progress. It is the party that has nhcaya stood by the dag. It ís the party that has cdviayt stood for cqual rights, free speech, a free ballot and a fair count. It is the party that has nothing in te record that needs to bc wiped out or forgotten. It is a party that is proud of its past and hopeful for lts future. It Is the party that bears no stalu upon lts escutcheon. It is the party that never bfitrayed a trust or broke a pledge. It is the party that always leads and ncver follows. It ia the party that never took a step backward in its whole history. It Is the party that has no blood stains staring in lts face, no clink of slnvery's chaing ringing in its ears. It is still the part}' of the young men, the eneraetie men, the progressive men of tlie country. It is the party that has placed the nation among the greatest nations of the earth. And it ia tlie party that will k'ep it. there. P. T. Bnrnum la very rlch for a man who bas always had an elephnnt on hls hands. -
