Training Canaries.
In the canary breeding establishments
of Gern_any only the male birds
are valued, tor the females-never sing.
The method of training the birds to
ting is to put them in a room -where
there is an automatic whistle, which
they all strive to imitate. The breeder
listens to the efforts of the birds and
picks out the most apt pupils, which
are then placed in another room for
further instruction.

A Profrreulve Barbarian Monarch.
The King of Somaliland is in Loodon
to promote the interests of his
domain. His subjects are chiefly halfnaked
barbarians, but he is highly
cultured, speaking English, German,

purpose of the Emir Soliman?for so
he calls himself?is to civilize his peoplo,
an end for which he seeks British
aid in the development of Somaliland.
He confesses that five years ago he
was with the Dervishes, fighting
against England, but he has since become
king, and has come to the conclusion
not only that the British are
not only to be supreme in Africa, but
also that they ought to be, because, to
nse his own words, they are "the great
people." Coffee, corn, ostrich feathers,

[ FORMER PRESIDENTIAL' ELECTIONS
AS A BASIS! FOR PROPHECIES.
>
National Campaign Predictions?Speculation*
oi Politicians Itasecl on Parallels
' and Comparisons?The liay of SweepIne
Victories Apparently Over.
I ?
The Washington correspondent of
1 the New York Evening Post says: As
I the Presidential campaign draws near,
there is much search for historical
parallels to the present situation, and
prophecies are made on the basis of
theso comparisons. That there is a
1 good deal of nonsense in such mat-,
1 ters, no one doubts. For example,
the Republicans in 18Siwero cheered,
by the assurance that no man whose
name began with C ever had been, and
therefore nono ever would be, elected
President. That comfort was withdrawn
for the next campaign, but in
1892 they were again confident of suc1
cess, since no President, once defeated
for re-election, had ever been reelected.
So it is not safe to rely upon
precedents. And yet there are certain
facts in history which are uniform and
reveal tendencies and influences,
These have fairly crystallizod into
1 ? ?1- Z ?U lilra oil fli/>
rules, wiijuu, u.u? D > o*,
other rules, have their exceptions.
Those who believe tbat President
McKinley will be renominated rely
upon the fact that only one man, after
having been elected President, ever
made an unsuccessful fight for renomination.
This was Franklin Pierce. It
is true that Fillmore, Johnson, and
Arthur were candidates for the nomination,
but they had been elected, not
Presidents, but Vice-Presidents, and
their failure was the natural result of
the sudden shock of change, the introduction
of new policies and new men,
and the disappointments which these
entailed. It is well kuown that no
Vice-President who became President
was ever nominated for President at
the end of bis term. John Tyler was
nominated by another party than tbe
TVbigs in 1814, but, after a few months,
be withdrew from tbe race in a letter
fuii of anger and disappointment. The
nearest parallel to tbe case of Mr.
Cleveland was tbat of Martin Van
Buren, who was elected by the Democrats
in 1836, was renominated' by
them in 1840, was almost nominated
by them in 1844, and was nominated
by tbe "Barn-Burners," or seceding
Democrats, who would not work for
Lewis Cass, in 1848. So strong was
tbe "Little Wizard" that be received
more votes in tbe States of Vermont,
Massachusetts, and New York than
CaBs. although he carried no State.
Here are some interesting facts of
the political successes and failures of
our Presidents, conveniently arranged:
Presidents renominated and re-elected?Washington,
Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, Jackon, Lincoln, Grant, and
Cleveland.
Presidents renominated, but defeated
for re election?John Adams, John
Quincy Adams, Van Buren, Cleveland
and Benjamin Harrison.
Presidents defeated for renomination?Fillmore,
Pierce, Johnson and
Arthur.
Presidents who were not candidates
for renomination?Tyler, Polk, Buchanan
and Hayes.
Presidents nominated and renominated
without opposition?Washington,
Jackson, Vau Buren and Grant.
Presidents renominated without opposition?Washington,
Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, John Quincy Adams,
Jackson, Martin Van Buren, Lincoln
and Grant.
Only one President was elected
without opposition, Washington being
so chosen twice. This honor would
have been given to Monroe for the
second term but for an elector from
New Hampshire, who voted for John
Quincy Adams because, he said, he was
unwilling to allow any man to be honored
as "The Father of His Country"
had been.
In speaking of "nominations," it
must be remembered that in the early
days of the Republic there were no
political conventions, and consequently
no nominations in the sense in
which we use the term now. There
were many candidates for the chief
honors then who would have figured
I in the political conveutions had they
I liaon linM Tnlin A rl a nt a if in Hflirl
seriously considered himself an available
candidate for the presidency when
Washington was elected. The first
thing like a convention for the nomination
of a candidate for President was
the cancus which convened in 1804,
consisting of the Republican Senators
and Representatives in Congress, and
nominated Jefferson. At other times
nominations were made by State Legislatures.
In September, 1812, an
unofficial political convention was held
by the anti-Madison Democrats aud
the Federalists to effect a coalition.
The result was the nomination of DeWitt
Clinton, of New York, for Pres.
ident, and Rufus King for Vice-President.
The coalition was much more
powerful than is generally supposed.
Madison received iu? electoral votes,
while Clinton received eighty-nine.
Only two Northern States, Vermont
and Pennsylvania, voted for Madison.
In 1824 a minority of the Congressmen
held a convention and nominated
W. H. Crawford, Secretary of the
Treasury, for President. This was indeed
an odd contest, the candidates
being three members of the Monroe
cabinet?John Quincy Adams, Clay
and Crawford?and a Senator, Andrew
Jackson. As in 1800, the electors did
not decide this contest, no candidate
having a majority. The House of
Representatives, voting by States,
elected Adams. Jiad tue electors ueon
allowed to vote by States, Jackson
would Lave bad eleven, while tbe
combined vote of tbe otber tbree was
thirteen.
Jackson, by the way, was a candidate
for President for tv longer single
period than any otber mau. He was
nominated by the Legislature of Tennessee
in 1823, the year after his defeat
by Adams and tbree years before
tbe Presidential election. He at once
resigned his seat in tbe Senate to enter
the canvass.
Tne nrst national convention 01 me
type to which we still adhere met in
1835, one year before the election, and
nominated Martin Van Buren. This
convention resembled many other succeeding
conventions in consisting almost
wholly of officeholders.
It is a fact not generally known that
Willium Henry Harrison was a candidate
of the Anti-Masons against Van
' Buren the first time, and that tVi.e
was the only election in whioh th<
electors voted for five candidates
these being, in their order of strength
Martin Van Buren, W. H. Harrison
Hngh L. White, Daniel Webster anc
W. P. Mangum. An apparent excep
tion to this statement was the Greeley
vote, which was scattered after th<
candidate's death.
The last candidate for whom a Whif
convention voted was Millard Fillmon
in 1856. He had been defeated foi
the nomination four years before. H<
received eight electoral votes, ^thost
of Maryland.
One of the electors who voted foi
the Democrat Monroe in the "era o:
good feeling" was the venerable John
A /Inma r\f Afflaaonlmcpff.a
Only one man was nominated foi
the Presidency and Vice-Presidencj
and declined it. John Langdon, oi
New Hampshire, was nominated bj
the Republicans in 180S for Vice
President, but one month later declined,
and Elbridge Gerry was
chosen.
Since the day of Monroe, the most
sweeping electoral victory was that of
1861, when Lincoln received 212
votes to 21 for McClcllan. All things
considered, the worst defeated mau
who ever ran for President was
Stephen A. Douglas, who received bul
12 electoral votes in 1860; however,
he received only 500,000 less votes
than Lincoln, and 500,000 more than
Breckinridge, and 800,000 more than
Bell, both of whom led him in electors.
a situation never paralleled.
The President who was worst defeated
for re-election was Van Buren,
who in 1840 received but 60 votes to
Harrison's 234, the magnitude of the
Harrison vote being one of the
greatest surprises in the history oi
American politics.
It will be seen from the preceding
facts that the American voters are in
the habit of renominating their Presidents.
The habit of re-electing them
is almost as strong. As an offset to
these facts, one might suggest that
the only Presidents who were renominated
over opposition, and two of the
three Presidents who were ever defeated
for re-election, were among the
most recent, Cleveland and Harrison.
Tbe friends of Mr. Bryan may derive
satisfaction, so far as bis chance
of renomination is concerned, from
the history of Henry Clay, who was a
oandidate threo times. As regards
his chances of election, they can
point to the examples of the great
ideals, Jefferson and Jackson, as well
as William Henry Harrison, all of
whom were defeated before being successful.
One notable lesson is easily read in
the figures for the last twenty-five
years, viz., that the day of sweeping
victories is over. Unless some overmastering
issue comes up, Presidential
elections probably will continue
to be closely contested, and
their results difficult to foretell.
Feeling Hit Ifumps.
A phrenologist "who has been touring
the country and giving lectures in
the art tells the following "good one"
on himself. He was in the habit of
inviting people of different vocations
to come upon the stage, and he would
dilate upon and expound the peculiarities
of their cranial construction.
He had come to that portion of his
lecture where he dealt with the
criminal form of the cranium, and addressed
the audience:
"If there is any person present who
at any time has been the inmate of a
prison he will oblige me by coming
upon the platform."
A heavily-built man responded to
this invitation.
"You admit that you have been in
yi inuu, on i
"I have, sir," was the unblushing
answer.
"Will you kindly tell me how many
years you have spent behind prison
bovs?"
"About twenty yeaxs," unhesitatingly
replied the subject.
"Dear, dear," exclaimed the professor.
"Will you sit down, please?"
Tho subject sat down in a chair in
the centre of the stage. The professor
ran his fingers rapidly through
the hair of the subject and assumed a
thoughtful expression.
"This is a most excellent specimen.
The indications of a depraved character
are very plainly marked. The
organs of benevolence aud esteem are
entirely absent; that of dustructiveness
is developed to an abnormal degree.
I could have told iustanlly
without the confession of this man
that bis life had been erratic and
criminal. What was the crime for
winch you were imprisoned?"
"I never committed any crime,"
growled the man in the chair.
"But you Baid that you had been an
inmate of a prison for twenty years!"
"I'm the governor of the jail."
The First Bomb and Mortar.
The Koreans invented the first bomb
and mortar. The lust for revenge had
taken such a grip upon them that
nothing sufficed to hold them in check
when once theylLiad the enemy on the
run. Before the first year of the war
had expired the Koreans had imitated
tlie tire-arms 01 meir enemies, inougu
pebbles were at first the only missiles
used. They even surpasaad the invaders
in the use of gunpowder, for
the records tell us that a certain general
invented a piece of ordnance
which, when discharged, would throw
itself bodily over the walls of the besieged
fortress, and when it exploded
the Japanese who had crowded around
to examine it were either torn to piece;?
by the flying debris or choked by the
sulphurous fumes of the burning powder.
The startling statement that the
mortar threw itself over the wall is
merely the work of an excited imagination,
whereby the projectile became
confused with the machine used in its
projection. We are told that the secret
of the invention perished with its
inventor, but that the mortar theu
used still lies in one of the Government
storehouses in the fortress of
Nan-ham, which guards the southern
approach to the capital.

, Srltlsli Official! Walked Barefoot Ovei
, Red Hot Stones Unscathed.
? Some weeks apjo, writes Andrew
' i Lane in the London Athensenm. I con>
densed in the Athenaeum a description
1 of the Fijian fire walk (Umu Ti). In
5 the Journal of the Polynesian Society,
Colonel Gudgeon, British resident of
? Earatonga, late a Judge in the native
3 Land Court, and an accomplished stur
dent of the Maori speech, records bis
5 own experience. A Eaiatea man,
5 young, but of the fire-walking clan,
officiated. The date was January 20,
' 1899. As usual, a large fire had been
' blazincr on a foundation of stones: the
w _____
1 burning logs were liooked out and al
2 p. m. Colonel Gudgeon found the
glowing stones ready for the cere
r mony. The officiating Raiatea man
pointed out to his native pupil that
r two stones were not hot, they having
been taken from a marse or sacred
place. Nothing was done by way ol
' magic except that the Eaiatean spoke
a few words (not reported) while h<
and hie tauira, or pupil, thrice struck
the edge of the oven with witd
' branches of the ti (Dracama). "Then
1 they walked slowly and deliberately
' over the two fathoms of hot stones.'
1 The pupil handed his branch to Mr.
' Goodwin (on whose land the perform'
ance took place) and said: "I give my
1 mana over to you; lead your friend*
1 across." The word mana means a king
of "magnetic" or magical force which
' individuals are supposed to possesf
in differing proportions. Perhaps
' "power" is the best English equivalent
for mana:
Colonel Gudgeon, before these per
! formances, had asked that the glowinp
Btones "should be leveled down a bit,'
as his feet "were naturally tender,'
and so the stones were "leveled flat.'
' In walking across, three white men accompanied
him?Dr. W. Craig, Dr,
George Craig, and Mr. Goodwin. Col>
onel Gudgeon "got across unscathed.'
He says: "I knew quite well I wai
walking on red-hot stones, and coulq
feel the heat, yet I was not burned. ]
felt something resembling slight electrie
shocks, both at the time and afterward,
but that is all."
Au to the heat, the oven is made fo)
cooking the ti, which is put in aftei
the rite. Half an hour after that performance
a green branch thrown int<
the oven blazed in a quarter of a min

Habits of the Pygmies of Africa.
An ivory horn was also carried bj
some of the Pygmies and with this,
also, most cnrions sonnds could b(
produced. They all carried bowsanc
arrows, and with Jhem were most ex<
pert little marksmen. Some of th<
arrows were poisoned, others were
not; no doubt tbe poisoned ones are
used for their enemies, and the ordinary
iron-headed shafts for killing
the animals of the forest. I asked
my little friend what they lived upon,
and he told me nuts and fruits from
the trees and wild honey; also the
animals that they killed. "Wliatanimals
can you kill?" I as^ed the little
chief who stood before me on this
memorable occasion. "Antelope,
krtflpnl/i nn/l nlanlmntfl " Bflid lift.
"What?" I said, "little people like
you killing buffalo and elephants!"
At which he laughed heartily and
turned to tell his companions what I
had said, and they also joined in the
fun. "How do you manage it?" I
asked. "With these," holding up hie
bow and arrows. "Very many of uf
surround the elephant and shool
many arrows into it." "But," said I,
"how long do you take to kill an eta
pliant?" "Oh!" he replied, "some
titues three days, sometimes six days,
bat when he is dead we make oui
tents round the carcass anil there stof
till we have eaten all the meat, and
then we hunt another elephant.'
From this remark, one gathered ai
once that the Pygmies hare no "abid
ing city," but they move from plac<
to place, wherever there is food to b
found.?Albert B. Lloyd, in Ainslee'?

4V'How the Enellfthinan Told It.
Here is a joke which comes from the
Erin, Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht.
Names were given to the writer, but
they are suppressed for obvious reasons.
x ' ?
A yonng woman on the Erin while
every one was waiting for a wind asked: (
"What slang expression which yon ;
have in America pleases a pussy cat?"
The listeners all gave it np, of coarse.
"Why, rubber neck," was the reply.
One of Sir Thomas's British friends
heard it, and thought it was so good
that he called a friend np to hear the
conundrum. The one < summoned
came all expectancy. The enthusiastic
admirer of the story could not
wait for the young woman who had
originally sprung the joke to repeat
it, but started to tell it himself.
"What slang expression which you
have in America pleases a pussy cat?" ,
he asked. |
The new man also gave it up. ?
"Why, smooth her back," was the ,
reply, and the answer brought out a ?
greater roar than had greeted the orig
inai story.?iJtew iors xriDuue., c

No. 3 Van Ness Place, New York.
Db. Badwat?With me your Belief has worked
venders. For the last three years I have had
'requeni and severe attacks of sciatica, sometimes
xtendlng from the lumbar regions to my ankle,
ind at times to both lower limbs.
During the time I have been afflicted I hare triad
ilinost nil the remedies recommended by wise men
ind fools, hoping to find relief, but all proved to
>e failures.
I have tried various kinds of baths, manipulators,
outward application of liniments (oonumer- *
ins to m'ntlon, and prescriptions of the most
imlnont physicians, all of which failed to give me
ell ef.
Last September, at the urgent request of a friend
who had been afflicted as myself) ( was Induced
o try your remedy. I was then suffering? fearfully
pith one of my old turns. To my surprise and deight
the first application gave me ease, after bathng
and rubb ng the parts affected, leaving the
imbs in a warm glow, created by the Relief. In ?
hort lime the pain passed entirely away. Alhough
I have slight periodical attacks approachng
a change of weather, I know now how to cue)
q vself, a id feel quite maste- of the sitnatlon.
