SULLIVAN JHSI& REPUBLICAN. W. M, CHENEY, Publisher. VOL. XI. Wandering bicycle riders have lately caused a vast increase in tho business of wayside inns. The Forestry Department of India is successfully naturalizing the mahog any tree in Bangalore. Labrador, a country which wo al ways associate with Arctic snowdrifts, icebergs, etc., has 900 species of flowering plants, fifty-nino ferns and over 200 species of mosses and lichens. Handkerchiefs were first made for the market at Paisley, Scotland, in 17-13, and sold for about 81 each. Last year it is computed that 80,000,000 dozen were sold in the United States. Many Germans aro leaving Kansas and settling ill Maryland. Tho great West has been over-boomed, ami thou sands of people want to get away, says the Atlanta Constitution in explana tion. An English woman of great wealth claims that the clergy pay so much at tention to tho poor that she could not get one to attend her husband when he needed spiritual consolation. She admits a great deal, is the comment of the Atlanta Journal. Venice is in hopes of reviving her ancient maritime prosperity. Im portant harbor-works have been going on for the last twenty years to form the "Lido Port," which probably will be ready for vessels next year, although the works will not be concluded till 1895. Once in St. Paul, Minn,, a $1.50-a --day laborer had lung trouble. Ho went to Southern California and began keeping bees. Last year he sold $40,000 worth of honey. Bees do well in Southern California, for flowers bloom at all seasons, and they keep on laying up honey for the winter that never comes. Great joke on the bees, isn't it? The Western Tobacco Journal ad duces figures to show that the annual per-capita consumption of manufac tured tobacco in this country, on a basis of 05,000,000 is five and one-third pounds, costing not less than £5 at retail. No other country approaches the United States in the amount and value of tobacco consumed per capita. The wheat outturn will not exceed ■143,000,000 bushels, according to the American Agriculturist's own reports, and of its interpretations of Govern ment returns, compared to <114,000,- 000 as the average for the last two seasons and 400,000,('00 bushels in 1890. Nearly 2,500,000 less acres were devoted to wheat than last year, and the luilk of this decrease was in the surplus States, which bid fair to have 78,000,000 fewer bushels than last year, and 125,000,000 bushels un der the surplus States' product of 1891, Prince Bismarck made a suggestive statement in his address to an organi zation of schoolmasters. He drew a comparison between tin French and tin) Germau systems of education, showing the bearing of tin latter in tin unity and strength of tin- Nation. He dislikes the French system liecaust it inculcates "National vanity and ignorance of the urography history of other Nation .

Old English silverware is much in demand in the United States just now, and genuino pieces, especially those of historic interest, fetch high prices. Weather forecasts in Great Britain grow more accurate every year, and the meteorological council announce with pride that eighty-four per cent, of those given last year were success ful. Three years ago nearly seventeen per cent, of the storm warnings were uot fulfilled, but now the rate has fallen to seven per cent. The park policemen of San Francisco use the lariat to stop runaway horses, and all are experts with the rope. The Captain of the Golden Gate Park squad says his men "can stop a horse within a distance of fifty yards without the slightest danger to themselves," and ho implies, though he doesn't distinctly say so, without danger to the runaway or its rider. The Chinese are tho most lightly taxed people in the world. They have no Chancellor of the Exchequer wor ried over budget-making. All tho land there belongs to the State, and a trifling sum per acre, never altered through long centuries, is paid as rent. This is tho only tax' in the country, and it amounts to about $5 per head yearly. Two little girls, Gertrude and Ethel Hedger, who aro wards in chancery and heiresses to $100,01)0 each, were recently arraigned as vagrants in a London police court. Their fortunes aro so securely locked up in chancery that by no process of law can any of the money be obtained until the chil dren are of age. They are at present practically destitute, and unable to procure decent surroundings, clothing or education. Tho beauty ol the elm is more than skin deep, says tho New York Post, and a high light of forestry gives it the first rank as a shade tree, both for streets and [larks, beeaus.vit iilikewist! strung, vigorous, and can lie grown in so many places. The leaves are so tough that dust has little efloct 011 them. Certain kinds of maples also liavo a good stand ing for shade, beauty, and rapid growth, though the soft maple is use less for heavy shade. Oak trees, the English and the Turkish, though rarely seen as shade trees in our streets, take high rank for that use. Says the New York Tribune: "It may not be flattering to our vanity, but it is a fact, nevertheless, that Europe does not t ike nearly as much interest in America as America takes in Europe. This has long been indi cated by the paucity of American news in the European press; and it is ! now forcibly brought to our attention j by the indifference of Europe to the greatest Exposition that has ever beeu held. The average European classes the United States with Australia, .Madagascar, South Africa and other out-of-the-way countrf**, whose do ings can have no possible interest for him. This being so, the wonder is not that there have been so few Euro pean visitors to the Fair, but that am one in this country should have ex j pected them to oolite." . - As a result of his investigations, Pro- I fesMor MeCook cstiuiat. s the arin\ ol , tramps iu the United States at 1,1,M45, Practically all of them are in the prinn of lib- and in got>d health, with noth ing to prevent them front earning a i livelihood, three fifth of them Inn ui ' trades l»y which to support thoiuselvt s, j and nine-tenths able to read and mite. < And yd tiny ar< loaf* is and uoii pro dtlCet'S, refit lltg to IIS unit' tile olill U tions of citi/etmhtp, and are a lie »•«■ | burden to society \l n eonm i \ ,ill,.

"Here, Eva. child, another cun of coffee 1" As his daughter received tho empty cup, ho noticed something of an ex pression of sadness on her usually bright face, and his conscience re proached him as being the cause of it. Siuce the death of b.s wife, whom he bad tenderly loved, his daughter had been clearer to him than anything on earth, and lie did not like to see her looking unhappy. "What it> tho day's programme, Evie?" lie asked, quite mildly. "Hadn't you better drive down with me to Chester and see the Lyne girls while I call on my lawyer?" "No, thank you, papa. The Lyne girls are coming here to tea and cro quet this afternoon. ' 1 "Ah! And who have you to meet them V" Eva's hand was a little unsteady as she poured out the cofl'ee, and her aunt. Miss Mtnldox, quietly answered for her : "Young Mr. Moflit and his sister, and the Harmon girls and Jack River ton, and Mr. Patton will bring u friend with him." The squire's brow darkened. "Wasn't Jack Biverton here yester day?" "No, not yesterday." "Well, the before then. Seems to me he ~i always here. Pity his father ".on't keep him more closely to fa l ', desk in iiis office, or that lie can't find some other place than my hous in which to pass his superabundant leisure. And 1 don't see," he added, irritably—"l don't see why lie should have been invited here, when 1 have already expressed my objection to hint." "He is not particularly invited," his sister answered. "It in only the sec- i ond meeting of onr little croquet club —all that we caa find to amuse us in this dull country neighborhood. And, of course, you can't blame him for coining with the rest." Eva's soft, dark eyes had tilled with tears. "Papa," she said, with a little tremor in her voice, "why do you ob ject to Mr. Biverton? Everybody likes him but you." The squire hesitated a full half min ute, as he make a pretense of eare- I fully buttering bis e:<g. "I have nothing against the young mau'a character," In auid at length, still more impatiently, "but I don't likt lint personally that is, his wavit. 1 wish to liear and see uo more of hiru if possible.

"I am stir' 1 don I encourage him,' Miss Matilda replied, bristling a little, well aware in her own mind tint Mr. Kiyt rloii needed no eiu'otn i in,.ni from her.

I She know now that papa muKt hftvo overheard that talk between herself and Jack, when they sut in the moon light under the drooping roses right beneath his open window. And she had never dreamed that papa could be mean enough—no, she would not say that—but unfeeling enough to listen. As she softly cried, with her dainty handkerchief pressed to her eyes, she heard her father's concluding words : "When you find a man making love in this idiotic way, you may bo posi tive of one thing—that the love is only skin-deop, and that ho will make an indifferent, if not a bad husband. For this reason I object to Mr. Jack River crton courting my daughter." That evening, in the quiet twilight interval between tea and croquet, Eva ' took occasion to convey to Mr. River j ton a warning hint of what her father expected of them in the future. Jack know —as did most of the squire's acquaintances —that despite a "good heart at bottom," the old gen tleman was apt to take up absurd and unreasonable prejudices, and to stick to them with tenacious obstinacy— especially when ho found himself op posed. Rut on this occasion the young man's spirit rose in high rebellion, and it took all Eva's influence to pacify him. "No, Jack," she said, with a gentle ! firmness, in reply to his excited .®- j marks, "you must not speak to papa lat present. It would only make mat j tors worse while he is in this mood. We can do nothing but wait and see if I in time he won't yield to more reason , able impressions." "In time!" repeated Jack, igi ' patiently. "Why, Evie, he don't change hi* views on any subject within five years' time." "Well," she said, with a sigh, "I i suppose we shall "nave to wait, even if | it is as long as that." | One day the squire, returning from his morning ride, found his daughter and his sister seated in the pleasant little sit til ?-room opening upon the garden. Eva's white lingers were deftly fashioning somo S>se-colored ribbons I into dainty knots u ul loops. "What are thoso for?" her father inquired, as he seatft himself in his i own big arm-chair and unfolded his paper while glancing admiringly at the | silken stall'. "To wear at the lawn party this evening, papa. And you will go with 1 us, of course?" "A lawn party? I had for gotten ! Well, where is it to be—at the Lyons'?" "At the Rivertons'," Miss Maddox said. He scowled as he roughly shook out his paper. "I don't wish to interfere with your | pleasures or enjoyments, Eva," he 1 said, "but I would rather that you suuuid not goto this party at the Rivertons'." She knew that when licr father ex pressed a wish, it was intended as a command, and her hands dropped listlessly into her lap, crushing the erisp ribbons. Tears forced them selves between the long lashes, and she presently rose and quietly left the room. Then Miss Maddock looked up from her own work, and there was some thing unusual in her expression. "Archibald," she said, gravely, "1 have something to say to you. 1 would warn you not to carry this matter too far, nor to be too hard upon Eva and Jack Riverton, lest yo» drive her into open disobedience vud even an elopement." "An elopement!" His sister took from the little work box which Evu had left on the table .i folded letter. "1 found this here, just where you see that she keeps it. Perhaps I ought not to have read it, seeing that it is a love lettei ; l>ut, under the cir enmstauees, I c insider it my duty t > let you kn<>» the contents. Will you read it, or shall I do so?" The squire replied with a sort of inarticulate grunt, which his sister interpreted in her own way, and accordingly commenced rending, aloud: " 'My own |>reoitm» sni*"l, Evt.

The squire looked over the faded and torn sheet as one in a dream. "I would not have believed that I could ever have written in a style such as this, "ho said, in a strangely sub dued voice. "And yet you wcro a dovoted hus band and made your wife a happy woman." Ho read the letter through, and a moisture gathered in his eyes. "We are apt to forget—apt to for get!" he muttered, as he refolded it. Just then Eva entered the room. "I must put away my work," she said, apologetically, and there were traces of tears in her eyes. Ifer father put out his hand, and drew her gently to her former seat. "Sit down, dear, and linisli your ribbons. I will take you over to the liivertons' this evening." And Eva never know until after her marriage to Jack liivertou what had caused so sudden a change in her father's views and sentiments in regard to that subject. SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

Laws for (lie Protection of Kleplianf —Tin- Heaviest Tusk in the Worli. at the Fair. THE heaviest elephant tusk in the world, HO fur as known, is at the World's Fair iu the C. Capo Colony exhibit. It is seven and a half feet long aud weighs 158 pounds. At the thickest part it is about six inches through. The mute to it, which is a little lighter, is in the museum at Cape Town. There is an elephant tusk larger than this, be longing to the King of Siain, but it is not so heavy. The elephant who carried these monstrous tusks more than 800 pounds of ivory, or twice the weight of an average man—was killed in the Zambesi country, South Africa, some years ago. Ho was about, fourteen feet high and was a genuine king of the for est who would have dwarfed Jumbo himself. Elephant hunting is tin* first of nil sports with the gun, but the slaughter of these groat animals linn been so pro digious since the Arabs and other traders have sold breach-loading riHcs to the tribes throughout Africa, that many fear their speedy extermination. However, Robert Lee, who is one of the men in charge of I In- Cape Colony exhibit, and who has traveled much in the elephant country, thinks that the great beast will hold on for many gen erations yet. Africa is so vast, many regions fire so diHieult of access, and the elephant is so tenacious of life, ho says, that man cannot kill all his tribe as he has slaughtered the buffalo in America. "Elephant hunting is extvemely dangerous," said Mr. Lee. "I know of no other sport in which the hunter is so liable to become the hunted. I am not a sportsman myself, auil I have never tried to kill an elophar.r, but I was oneowithotiierswhothought they would accomplish sueh a feat. "In 1887 I accompanied Colonel Carringtou's expedition into the coun try north of the Transvaal. While rid ing along through an open country we saw a herd of elephants. I think there were about tweuty of them. We came close enough for a shot. The Colonel called for his elephant gun | and blazed away at the elephants. In j stantly the whole liord dart. 1 toward ! us, trumpeting fiercely and really ; presenting a most terrifying appear ; ance. None of us puused for another I shot, but turned ,i".r horses and gal loped away as fast as \\v could, the ! elephants in full eliase. So far us we knew, the Colonel's bullet had mi ed j entirely. "My liorso was not an especially good one, and 1 brought up the rear of that living column. An elephant, de spite his awkward appearance, can run very fast, and 1 begun to think of my sins. My horse stepped into u hole, stumbled, fell and threw me over his head. I wasn't much hurt, aud T jumped to my feet instantly and seized the horse's reins. The animal wasn't much hurt, cither, mid I got hint to his feet and was on his back and off again in about fifteen second 1 thiak. I don't know how close the elephants were to me when I fell, for I never looked back, I overtook the rest of the party, and when we stopped the ele phants were to be ft en no longer. People who are fond of a chase with plenty of danger in it should hunt the elephant. I don't cure for it myself." Mr. Lee says lie has seen inuiiv herds of elephants ulong the Zulu I u -i Uiver, and they are still more plentiful further north. Though Cape Colony has I icon settled about us long as tin I'uited States, there are still some cleplmnt* in a portion of its mountainous r< ion, known as the Kuyaui country. liny are supposed to be about live hundred ill number, and protected by tin Uov eminent.

Aye love irn\ swoet, with till thy heart, Tiiy mind, thy soul, anil all thou !irt And hop'st to be love me with love That naught beneath the heavens may move ; Yet say not wherefore ; say not why Thou lovest—since In these do lie The seeds of death to Love, but say, Thou lovest, and must love, alway ' For should'st thou love some witching graeo Of word or manner, form or faee— Should thy heart's worship thus be bought By any gift that Time hath wrought, So art thou false to Love's pure creed, And like to fail in sorest need : But love for Love's dear sake, I pray.
