General Garfield received the nomina

was assigned to the vacancy on the
committee on ways and means. He
served on the lust mentioned committee
until the expiration af his last torm as
pepreseutative. WhMe »jl)ftirman of this
committsc lie 112 rained the MeKinley bill,
which afterward became a law.

tie was iu General Hayes' regiiaent
during the civil war. General Haves
knew him and nis lather and saw
to the dashing young cavalier the germ
of greatness. He needed a counselor,
an adviser, a friend, and General
Hayes watched over him with the
filial love, devotion and pride of a
father.
The war ended, MeKinley still re
mained an object of hope, of interest
and pride to General Hayes. McKin
»«y became a candidate for congress
and was elected. When Hayss was
president. MeKinley was in the house
of representatives. The major was a
frequent Welcome visitor at the White
House. One day tbe president gave
MeKinley advice, which made lliKin
ley the foremost champion of a pro
tective tariff Presided* Hayes thus
spoke to the youup representative:
"To achieve success and fame you
must pursue a special line. You must
not make a speech on every motion
offered or bill introduced. You must
confine yourself to one particular
thing. Become a specialist. Take up
some branch of legislation and make
that your study. Why not take up the
subject of turiffV Being a subject that
will not be settled for years to come,
It offers a great field for study and a
chance for ultimate fame."
With these words ringing in his ears
MeKinley began studying the tariff
and soon became the foremost author
ity on the subject.
The day upon which the "MeKinley
tariff bill" was passed in the house
must always stand as tbe supreme oio
m*nt o/ McKinley's congressional ca
reer. The bill, by adroit parliamentary
generalship which had prevented it
from being weighed down with amend
ments not approved by tbe committee,
had been brought under the operation
of the previous question. It stood com
plete. ready togo forth for good or
evil. Upon MeKinley devolved the task
of smoothing its path and speeding it
upon its way.
The occasion, thoroughly advertised,
attracted to the capitol an ipmense
throng. We gal

It was this earnestness and self con
Iction that made McKlnley's address
i the bouse and on the stump so eflfec
ve. Indeed the occasion is still re
filled when be held an audience of
eorgin people for two hours at a

James G. Blaine in bis "Twenty

About Gapes.
(Japes are usually due to filth, the
eating of the residuum of food previ
ously given and feeding In damp places.
It is believed that they are propagated
in earthworms, but no facts have yet
been discovered regarding such claim.
T1 <• best remedy for gapes, if the
chicks will eat. Is to add a teaspoonful
of spirits of turpentine to a mixture of
on. pint of corn meal and a half pint of
middlings. Thoroughly Incorporate the
turpentine with the dry material, then
scald as much of the material as may ;
be required and feed to the chicks on a |
clean board. Put ten drops of carbolic !
add in every pint of drinking water
and change the water frequently once !
a day. There is 110 sure remedy for j
gapes, and Inserting feather tips in the j
windpipe to draw out the gape worms
can be done oidy by an experienced j
person. There are suggested remedies, I
but they are sometimes as fatal to the ]
chicks as the gapes.

I WHITCOMB'S
COYOTE DOG.
Whitcomb kicked his dog—kicked
bini savagely. Tlint was 18 years ago
at Sunfly, a small settlement on Pepper
creek, in the then Dakotas. We curi-
I ously looked at the dog to ascertain
! what effect this particular kick would
have on him, for it was at least the
one thousandth he had received from
his master in the course of three years
of troubled life. Usually this dog took
the kick, dropped liis tail, slunk Into a
corner and watched his master out of
j a single eye until the latter's good hu
mor was restored. This afternoon he
did not do this. He turned away with
; out a yelp, set his scarred body on the
i trail to Portland and temporarily dis
j appeared.
Whitcoip'' ** ns ,ll ° deputy sheriff of
' rontity, stationed at Sunfly. He re
! garded himself as master of anything
i and everything in the town. Men that
j kick dogs usually carry that opinion
! with them. Whitcomb in Sunfly stood
i for the law and his own ends. When
j the two conflicted, the law went fish
i ing. But it was a singular thing that
while Whitcomb carried so much au-
I thority and imposing presence around
he never met a man who dared to defy
: him but what he immediately became
' his best friend. Men that kick dogs
have that peculiarity also. It was sin
! gular. too, that the only thing in Sun*
j i.J which Whitcomb ever outrageously
abused w:is his coyote dog. This he
j ki'-ked at every opportunity—kicked so
hard that Watson, the freighter, look
; ing into the dog's bloodshot eyes one
j day. said •-.■ntentiously to Whitcomb:
j "He'll turn on you some day."
The dog came from nowhere. Ha
j drifted in out of the wilds of the buttes
' one day and Immediately attached
himself to Whitcomb. Perhaps lie had
a cross of coyote in him; more probably
he did not. Hut he was long, lank,
heavy fanged, big of muscle, marvel
ous in endurance—he ran one day 00
miles behind Wliitcomb's gray Indian
mare without a sup of water. lie
minded ins own business strictly, even
os to other dogs. The few of his own
i race that disturbed him were killed so
quick they did not realize he was at
; their throats.
Why he took to Whitcomb no one
j could explain, but he did. and, nl
; though kicked from pill::r to post,
, beaten with pistol butts and cut with
I quirts, he was loyal to his first choice—
■ that is, he was loyal until this par-
I titular day when he was kicked for
I the last time. When he trotted away
from Wliitcomb's office, although we
1 did not know it, he forever severed
himself from that Individual.
Watson, coming across the trail with
provisions, met him at Grass Butte, a
mile from town. He was high up the
butte, perched on a shelf, looking far
into the west. Watson whistled to him,
and lie came down, dragging his big
but bruised frame after him slowly.
He licked the freighter's hand, sniffed
at the horses and then returned to the
vantage point lie had occupied, only
this time he faced tlie east, looking to
ward Sunfly.
Watson was not a superstitious fel
low, but when he rode into town and
passed Wliitcomb's office he called out:
"Going over Grass Butte way to
night?"
Whitcomb nodded. Watson shook his
head.
"That dog of yours Is out there, and
he's waiting for trouble."
Whitcomb laughed, chooU himself
and remarked:
"I reckon he'll never bother me. He's
Just a bit sulky."
"All right," answered Watson, "but
I know those coyote dogs, and I know
your dog, and he's waiting for you.
You just remember that."
Whitcomb paid no more attention to
him, and the rest of us forgot Grass
Butte and tiie dog. About 8 o'clock
that evening Whitcomb rode out of
town with a young fellow by the name
of Owens. He was paying attention to
Owens' sister, and she was living at
the ranch in the meadows five miles
west of Grass Butte. It was dark
when the two cleared the town, but
they were headed straight for the
butte. When its shape rose out of the
blackness before them, Whitcomb sud
denly thought of his dog and eald to
Owens:
"I wonder if that beast Is waiting for
me?"
Owens could not tell him, so when
they came to the butte Whitcomb dis
mounted and whistled. He was evi
dently anxious to call the dog to him
and show anew his power over it.
Something rustled on the mass of shale
above him.
Owens told the rest of the etory later.
He said:
"Whit called to the dog and then
whistled again, and then I saw some
thing big come through the darkness
as if it was shot out of a gun. Whit
ripped out an oath, and then he fell
down, and the big thing was on him,
and 1 thought it was a lion or some
thing else, and 1 come back to town as
fast as I could for help."
Watson was the first to get into the
saddle for rescue. The rest came hur
riedly after him. Grass Butte was very
quiet, and so was Deputy Sheriff Whit
comb. He was lying by the trail, face
to the stars, his throat torn open and
the life gone from him. Ono hand was
on his gun, but he never hud strength
enough to jjull It.
As for the coyote dog, he was not to
be seen, but the next day his trail of
blood was followed westward for miles
and miles, but his pursuers nevei
caught up with him. He had gone on
to safety, leaving the mark of his
vengeance at the base of Grass Butte.—

SELF FLAME OF JEWELS.
The (How the Diamond Show* When
I'nder I'reemire.
A traveler for a diamond house was
talking shop the other evening and,
speaking of gems, said:
"The most overworked expression
used by the unsophisticated and deeply
impressed diamond purchaser is, 'lt
actually looks as if it glows of Itself.'
Now, it is not generally known that
such is actually the case, although not,
of course, in the way the public in
tends. The beauty of the gem In light
is, of course, in its remarkable refract
ive power, but under certain conditions
the diamond has more, for it may
gleam even in the night with a pale
but extremely beautiful light. In
short, it becomes phosphorescent
Heated to a certain temperature the
Internal fire shows itself, and under
pressure the same is true.
"Sonic years 1 went'to Amctnr.
dam to purchase some special stones
for a California millionaire who had
ordered them through our, New York
house, and while there I 'was shown
the inside workings of theifamous dia
mond cutting establishments of that
eity. Of all that I saw, however, the
'self flame' of the stones under pres
sure most surprised, me. The manager
placed a large rose* cut gem between
the jaws of a vise and carefully ap
plied a certain amount of pressure. He
then extinguished all the light in the
shop, and as soon ias tiny eyes had be
come accustomed to the darkness I
saw the diamond/emitting a soft radi
ance of its own tike a very pale glow
worm. As 1 remember it, he said that
the yellower diamonds were slightly
more phosphorescent than the first
water stones.
"By the way, you: would be really as
tonished to know the number of jewels
which also possess 'self flame' to a
more or less extent, and I have often
wondered If the alchemists who per
formed such apparently well authenti
cated wonders in the (middle ages did
not know something! of phosphores
cence and its oddities:"—New Orlean?

LIMt AN I IMALAKJAL.
An Important Discovery Reported
by a French Pliynician.
In France Dr. itoche has discovered
that the presence of lime in.the soil or
in the water helps to exterminate ma
laria, and it is a curious illustration of
the interdependence of widely different
industries that this medico scientific
discovery was first made in connection
with experiments in manuring. This
fact is particularly interesting to advo
cates, in season and out of season, of
adding to the fertility of the soil by the
judicious use of manures. The dis
appearance of marsh malaria frots
Puisaye after lime had been used in
the district as a fertilizer led to in
vestigations which are still being car
ried on, and which reasonably point
to the probability that la lime a very
effective agent has been found to
neutralize the spread of malaria.
Another medical man. Dr. Grellet,
has taken up the suggestion, and he
has written to the llevue Hygiene
that the liming of the soil for agricul
tural purposes in various provinces in
France which were more or less affect
ed by malaria has resulted in the re
duction of malaria cases almost in pro
portion to the quantity of lime used.
It is for experts to s:uy whether Lis
statement that in many countries whose
conditions favor the existence of mala
ria the freedom or prevalence of mala
ria is the accompaniment of a calca
reous soil is true.

come to tho conclusion that this insect
is, in fact, more sensitive than the best

The t'r 11 tnan.sliip of Anthoru,
Is tliere really any connection be
tween the cast «d" a writer's mind and
his handwriting? asks The Pall Mall
I Gazette. Thai-la ray was one of the
neatest of writers and boasted that if
other trades failed he could get his liv
ing by writing the Lord's Prayer on a
shilling. Keats wrote like a clerk, and
Gray, Tom Mon > . I.eigh Hunt and Sir
Walter Scott all used running hands,
which were le; ' !e without any mark
ed characteristics. The same may be
said of the writings of Anthony Trol
lope and Professor Tyndall, none, per
j haps, of these writers being much
given to subtlety of expression.
Carlyle, on the other hand, is said to
i have produced the most untidy and
awful scribble that ever puzzled a com
positor, and Victor Hugo, Browning
I and Tennyson were nearly as bail.
Vet. although this looks a- if there
might be some sort of a rule in such
matters, we find Napoleon, who cer
tainly never failed in directness of ex
pression. writing a hand that he could
not read himself, and Macready, the
sctor. whose order for the theater was
once talon for a prescription for a
cough mixture.
Oye tiling seems pretty certain—that
i the mere size of the letters has little
. to do with character.
