The Aire of lllrris, Mr. J. H. Gtirnoy, In an article In the Ibis, discusses a number of facta, collected from various books and pa pers, regarding the age to which birds live. Mr. Dresser, In his "Birds of Europe," gives an instance of a raven having lived sixty-nine years, Mr. Meade-Waldo has In captivity a pair of eagle owls, one of which Is sixty-eight and the other fifty-three years old. Since 1864 these birds have bred regu larly, and have now reared ninety three young ones. A Batelur eagle and condor In the Zoological gardens at Amsterdam are still alive at the re spective ages of fifty-five and fifty-two. An Imperial eagle of the age of fifty six, a golden eagle of forty-six and a tea eagle of forty-two, and many other birds of the age of forty downward are also recorded. The tVhUtllng Tree. The musical or whistling tree 1s a native of the West Indies, Nubia and the Sudan. It possesses a peculiar shaped leaf and pods with a split or broken edge. The wind passing through these causes the sound which gives to the tree the name of "whist ler." In Barbados there is a valley filled with trees of this ch iracter. and when the trade winds blow across the Islands a constant moaning, deep-toned whistle is heard from It. A species of acacia, which grows very abundantly in the Sudan, is also called the vhlst Uac tree by the natives. VTkat Shall We nave F Deaaertl TUta question arises In the family dully.

We condemn and denounee the Philippine nolley of tho present administration. It haa involved the republic In tintieccssitry wnr, Biicrihced the Uvea of many of our noblest sons and placed the t nlt- d Pntes, previously known nnd appluuded throughout the world aa the champion of freedom. In the false nnd unAmeriean position of crushing with mili tary force the efforts of our former allies to achieve liberty and arlf-govcrnmi nt. The Filipino cannot bn citizens without endHti gorlng our civilization; ti.cy cannot he suh Jecta 'jtomit Imperiling our form of gov ern men". nd na we are not willing to sur render ;? civilization or to convert the re publie iti un empire, w favor an Immedi ate declaration of the Nntlon's purpose to give to -.he Filipinos, first, a stable form of goveranv.v.; second, Inrt. pcud nee, and third, pn)eetlon from on (Hide Interference, such na haa been given for nearly a cen tury to the republic of Central and South America. The greedy commercialism which dictated the Philippine policy of the HepubJIcan ad ministration attempts to Justify It with tho pi. a that It will pay, but even this sordid and unworthy plea fails when brought to the test of facts. The war of criminal aggres sion against the Filipinos, entailing an an nual expense of many millions, has a I read v cost more than any possible profit that could ceruo from the entire Philippine trade for yeara to come. Futhermore, when trade is extended nt the expouse of liberty, the prlco la always too high. We are not opposed to territorial expansion when It take in desirnhlo territory which can be erected Into states of the Vnlon, and whose people are willing and fit to become American clttzena. THEIR SORT OP EXPANSION. We favor expnnslon fcy every peaceful and legitimate mean. Hut wo are unitlternbly opposed to seizing or purchasing distant Islands, to he governed outside tho Con stitution, And whose people can never be come citizens. We are lu favor of extend ing; the republic's influence among the na tions, but we believe that Influence should be extended not by force and violence, but through the persunalre powor of a high and honornble example. The Importance rf other quettlona now pending before the American -people Is In no wise diminished and the lemoreratle party takes no backward step from its position ou them, but the burning issue of Imperialism, growing out of tho Spanish war, involves the very existence of the republic and the dtwtTuctlon of our fre Institutions. We re gard it as the paramount Usuo of the cam paign. The dednrntlon In the Republican platform adopted at the Philadelphia convention held ta June, lWNi, that the Republican pnrty 'steadfastly adheres to the policy announced in the Monroe doctrine," la manifestly insin cere and deceptive. Thle profession Is con tradicted by the nvownd policy of that party. In opposition to the spirit of the Monroe doc trine, to acquire and hold sovereignty over large areas cf territory and large numbers of people In the eastern hemisphere. We insist on the strict maintenance of the Mon roe -doctrine In all Its integrity, both In let ter and in spirit, aa ueccasary to prevent the extension of European authority on this con tinent and as essential to our supremacy in American affairs. At the same time we de clare thai no American people shall ever be held hy force In unwilling subjection to European authority. OPPOSITION TO THR AJtMY. We oppose militarism. U mean con quest abroad and intimidation and oppres sion at borne. It means the atrong arm which hAsver been fatal ts free Institutions. It is what millions of our citizen have fled from In Rurope. It will .mrtose upon our peace-loving people a larve standing army and unnecessary burdens of taxation and A constant menace to their liberties. A amall standing army and a well disciplined state militia are amply sufficient In time of peace. Thla republic has ao place far a vast military service and conscription. When the Nation is ta danger the volunteer sol dier la his country's best defender. Tho National Guard of the United Htutea should ever be cherished In the patriotic hearts of a free people. Kara organisations are evor an element of strenafh and safety. For the first time In our history, and coeval with the Philippine conquest, baa there ben a whole sale departure from our time honored and approved aystera of volunteer organization. We denounce It aa unAmeriean, undemo cratic and uurcpublican and aa a subversion of the ancient and fixed princlplea of a free people. ' Private monopolies are Indefensible and In tolerable, They destroy ' competition, con trol the price of all material and of the fin ished product, thus nobbing both producer and consumer. They lessen the employ ment of labor, and arbitrarily fU tho terms a4 conditions thereof and deprive Individual energy and small capital of their opportunity for betterment. They are the most efflrjont m?ana yet de viled for appropriating the fruits of Industrv to the benefit of the few at the expense of the many, and uuless their Insatiate greed la cheeked all wealth will be aggregated la a few handa and the republic destroyed. " A PROGRAM ON TRUSTS. The dta honest paltering with the trust evil by the Republican party In atate and Na tional platforms Is conclusive proof of the truth of the charge that trusts are the legltl mats prod net of Republican policies; that they are fostered by Republican laws and that tbey are protected by the Republican ad ministration, lu return for campaign sub aerlptlous and political support. We pledge the Democratic party to an tin ceasing warfare In Nation, State and city against private monopoly In every form. Ex ist lug laws aga ost truste must be enforced and mars stnn; ent ones muat be enacted, providing for pu ltclty as to the affairs of corporations engaged in Interstate commerce and requiring all corporations to show, before doiug business outside of the state of th)r ajrlgio, that UHtf luiva ao water in thtir stock. and thnt they hare not attempted and are tint attempting, to mnnopellxe nny branch of business or the production nf any articles nf merchandise, nnd the whole constitutional power of Congress over Interstate commerre, the malls and all modra of Interstate enm munlcntlon shall be exercised by the enact ment of coirprehenflve laws upon the sub ject of trusts. Turlff laws should be amended by putting the products of trusts unon the free list to prevent monopoly under the plea of protection. The failure of the present Republican ad ministration, with an absolute control over the branches of the National government, to ennct any legislation designed to prevent or even curtail the absorbing power of trusts and Illegal combinations, or to enforce the anti-trust laws already on the stntute books prove the Insincerity of the high-sounding phrases of the Republican platform Cor porations should be protected In nil their rights and their Icglthnnte Interests should be respected, but any attempt by corpora tions to Interfere with the public affairs of the people or to control the sovereignly which crest them, should be forbidden sndcr such penalties aa will make such attempts Im possible. We condemn the TMnglov tnrM law aa a trust-breeding measure, tkltlfully devised to give the few favors which they do not de serve end toVplneo upon the many burdens which they should not bear. We fiivor such on enlargement of the scope of the Interntnto commerce law as will enable the enmmlson to protect individuals and rommniitilca from discrimination and the public from Unjust and unfair transportation rates.

It Is an unfortunate fact that invalid diet Is usually plain to monotony, patients complain that everything which is worth eating la denied to them, and often there Is much truth In their as sertion. Milk and beef tea gain a reputation that Is by no means credit able, becauee they form the staple re sources on which the nurse relies, and tor weeks together appear with pain ful regularity. Too often both nurse and housekeeper forget that the two essential elements of invalid diet nec essary to Insure the food itself fulfill ing Its share of the treatment speci fied are surprise and daintiness.

Kan Killed en Railroad Tracks Mar. Ko Italia There. S The fearful slaughter of trespassers en the Pennsylvania railroad tracks has once more awakened the attention of the railroad, municipal and county authorities to the fact that something should be done to prohibit people from Walking on the dangerous Iron high ways, says the Pittsburg Post Tho bloodiest record ever made In ono week haa Just been established on tho Pittsburg division of the Pennsylva nia. Wednesday morning tbe south western express killed two men, freight train killed another man near Johnstown and Conductor George Vance reported that an unknown man had been ground to pieces In tbe Ar dara tunnel, and that the body of an other man who had been run down had been forwarded to Oreensburg. The night before another unknown man waa Instantly killed east of Oreensburg by the Pittsburg limited, and an aged colored man who waa picking up coal was killed near the tame place. Andrew Borlcln, a for eigner, was struck by the day express near Radebaugh and died before he could be taken to tbe hospital. Yes terday one of the fast morning trains killed another man who la thought to have Jumped from a freight train In front of the rapidly moving passenger englno. Shortly after one of the fast trains shot out of tho Ardara tunnel yesterday three men stepped on tho track and came near being ground up; In fact, nothing could have saved them had It not been for the fact thnt the train was moving on a cautlonnry block and was brought under control by the emergency brake. The ensl neers cf the fast trains are careful tnen and it almost unnerves them when they see a human being hurled Into space. Hut they are powerless to avoid such calamities, as the careless track trespassers still walk right to their doom regardless of every warn ing. A railroad official In talking about the slaughter that Is going on yester day said that he could see no way to prevent It, as people would persist In walking on the tracks. . He related a conversation between an American and an English railway official while both were riding on the rear end ot a limited. The Englishman perceived some men walking on the tracks and said: "Why do you allow that?" "Well," said tho American, "what do you do with such trespassers?" "We arrest them," said the Englishman. "Well, we do worse than that" said the American; "we kill them, and yet wa can't keep them off tbe tracks." Bwerfrn In cold and cheerless weather a great concourse ot working people gathered on a hill In the outskirts ot Stockholm and listened to their ora tors, adopted resolutions and Anally adjourned In tbe midst of a blinding snowstorm. A speaker who attracted not a little attention was a Norwegian woman named Mrs. Anna Sterky. Be tween the speeches songs were sung, and but for the weather a pleasant time was spent. About 16,000 persons took part In the meeting, and every thing was conducted In the most orderly manner. Meetings also took place In Upsala, Orebro, Ekllstlma, Ualmo and Norrkoplng.
