An exchange says the persistent recurrence of Friday in everything connected with the Columbian discovery and its commemoration has attracted the attention of others besides Frank Lawlor, of Chicago. And the list of co-incidences is longer than the ex-con gressman seems to be aware of. It was on Friday that Columbus set sail from Palos, on Friday that he first saw the land of the new world, and on Friday that he reached Palos on his return. The four hundredth anniver sary of "discovery day," corrected according to the reformed calendar, falls on Friday. The act to provide for celebrating this anniversary by holding an inter-national exposition in the city of Chicago passed on Friday and was signed by the presi dent on Friday. The first meeting of the stockholders of the exposition com pany was held on Friday and the seal of the corporation was affixed on Friday to tlie certificate changing its name and increasing its capital stock. It was on Friday that the names of the national commission formed under the act of congress were announced, and it was on Friday that the hill making the two million and a half appropriation in aid of the exposition was passed by both houses and signed by the president. And now comes the reminder that the "nameday" of America—May s—will fall next year on Friday and will mark the most appropriate day for the formal opening of the Columbian exposition. Since we cannot honor the memory of even Amerigo Vcßpueci without having a Friday celebration, it seems plain that the sixtli day of the week lias a very stubborn connection with the fortunes of this continent. THE Democrats of the West need and deserve the help of the Democrats of the Fast. For that reason and to make success certain, whatever may he the result in New York, the World has start ed a Western Democratic campaign fund for strictly legitimate use with one subscription of 110,000 and two of SI,OOO each. It has the co-operation of three strong Democratic journals—the Boston (Stole , Philadelphia llecord and St. Louis Post-Dispatch —and hopes to interest many more. i ItallauH Eat a Great Deal of Flour. I The Italian peasant probably con sumes more flour than the peasant of any other European country, because the manufacture of flower into various forms of macaroni is common in all the poorer Italian households. Italians are peculiarly ingenious also in their treat ment of dough, which they make into many curious and appetizing forms.— Yankee Blade.

Orang-outangs, lions, tigers, hippo potami, elephants and tho other repre sentatives of the nniinal kingdom from every country in the world spent a quiet Sunday with their attendants 011 the circus lot in west Indianapolis. The managers go to Sunday school, tho performers recuperate, the canvas men and drivers sleep, and in fact every body rests except tho attendants in the menagerie. The orang-outang must have his whiskers trimmed, the lion his toes manicured, and the elephant must have a sponge hath and his corns pared Tho hippopotamus perspires blood dur ing the whole week, and unless his rough skin is washed on Sunday a bluck crust forms and he gets "scaly." The American water is not so soft and free from alkali as his native water of cen tral Africa ami his teeth get coated with matter resembling the sediment of a tea kettle. On Sunday his mouth must he pried open and his teeth cleaned and brushed with scented tooth powder made from tho pulverized hark of a tree which grows on the banks of the Lnkuga river in Africa. If his teeth were not thus preserved thoy would decay in three years and dyspepsia would send him to a premature grave in a foreign land. The toe nails of the lion grow long and sharp. Twice a year they must bo trimmed with clippers to keep them from tearing each other to pieces in their family brawls. The tigers and the hears rub against their cages so much that soro spots break out and they must ho healed with liniment and medicated oils. In fact all animals must receive treatment of somo kind. As their regu lar keepors alone understand how to treat them, Sunday is thus a busy day. When the representatives of tho city papers visited the menagerie they found the lions roaring anil much excited. Near one of the cages two men held down on the ground a cub, while Lion Tamer Conkling with a large pair of nippers was clipping its toe nails. There wero four Cubs in tho cage, and one by one they were taken out of the cage by Conkling and their nails cut short. While this operation was going 011 the lioness was crying piteously and shed ding great tears. No human mother could show more parental solicitude for its offspring than this queen of animals. Tho lions in another cage 100 feet dis tant almost chilled one's blood with their terrible roars while the cubs wero undergoing the operation. The elephants seemed to he having the best of the day. They were being sponged with soft warm water and enjoyed tho bath hugely. An old elephant had a corn on 0110 of his fore feet and ho grace fully rested it in a stall while his at tendant removed it with a razor. After tho lion cubs had been attended to Tamer Conkling entered the cage of three huge lions which Mr. Perley said was the biggest cage of lions in America. Two aro Asiatic and 0110 is African. The latter, the largest and most noblo of the lot, had a sore paw, which Conk ling took in his lap and rubbed with a black, waxy substance, which he said was distilled from tho sap of an African tree growing near Timhuctoo. Near by was a cage of hyenas in which tho keepe. was washing the sore eye of an old one who, the keeper explained, had chewed off tho lip of his predecessor. A double horned rhinoceros, which has worn out Iris horns rubbing them against the bars, submitted to a thor ough scrubbing from tho hands of a man who had the nerve to straddle his hack while rubbing his toadlike skin witli a wood brush.—lndianapolis Sentinel. A TreuHiirecl llelic. Miss Nina Cromwell, of Detroit, who claims to ho a lineal descendant of the great Oliver Cromwell, owns a vener ablo Bible which is thought to ho tho identical volume which the protector used. It was printed in 1501, by John Wolfe, for the assigns of Richard Day, and was brought to this country in 1750 by Benjamin Cromwell, the greatuticle of tho present owner, who has refused S3OO for it. The edges of tho pages aro bordered with columns of references in tho style which is current today. Tho references are not so numerous, how ever, as those in a modern Bible. Be tween tho Old and Now Testaments are tho apocryphal books, and at tho close of tho New Testament is a subject index. Perhaps tho most curious part of the voluino is the metrical arrangement of the Psalms with which it closes. The preface to this part of tho work Btatcs that the Psalms wero "collected into English meter by Thomas Stern, John Hopkins and others, with apt notes to sing them withall." The notes are dia mond shaped and are arranged on a staff of five lines, having a cleff not un like the modern tenor cleff. Each note is open and the stem, when one is used, proceeds from tho apex of tho diamond. —Detroit Tribune. Dakota Girls. The Hceno was not a thousand miles from Fargo. As they sat on the steps on a moonlight evening ho claimed the right to a kiss for every shooting star. She at first demurred, as became a mod est maiden, but finally yielded, as usual. She was even so accommodating as to call his attention to the flying meteors that were about to escape his observa tion, and got to "calling" him on light ning bugs, and at last got him down to steady work on the light of a lantern that a switchman was swinging about in tho Northern Pacific yards in tho dis tance, where tho boys were making up trains.
