A happ Now Yoar to every reader.
This is January 1 1892. The
world do movo.
A happy Now Year to tho Demo-
crats of Bell county and heres hoping
you may got together boforo tho chill-
ing frost9 of autumn.
Tho Fort Worth Gazette says Bar-
ney Gibba is going Ilillward and tho
Moody Courier movos to amend by
Btrikiog out tho "i" and inserting "o."
Either ono is near enough right.
In Blaine's reciprocity treaty with
tho British West Indiaa eggs are put
on tho free list. The American hen
will hereafter havo to compoto with
tho paupor hons of Jamaoia Barba-
does and othor like oountrios. If it
will mako hens lay two opgs whore she
only laid one before reciprocity will
not bo entirely a failure
A friend of Col. Mills has just re-
ceived a letter from him stiting that
the reports that he had bepn st deaths
door was absolutely false. IIo had
not been ovon seriously sick although
oonfined to his room. Air. Mills
slates that ho was overworked in tho
fall cnnvasB and was siok when the
speakership contost began but bore up
until it was ovor. Ho will in a few
days bo ablo to resume his duties in
the house.
Govornor Bill Sterett says tariff re-
form is all right with tho present
organization of tho house at Washing-
ton Sterctt's attitude reminds The
News of tho Irishman who sat upon
the roadside drunk while a voracious
cow stood near him chewing his
coat. A Btranger passed and called
Paddv telling him of tho fate of his
garment whereupon ho replied: Will
yo plaBO mind ycr own business?
Faith and I'm not watohing tho
critter? It may not be Bill Sterctt's
coat the congressional cow is okowing
but it is a garment worn for years
vcrj gracefully by tho papers ho represents.
THE FREE COINAGE SCARE
It is not tho fear of too much silver
money that makes Eastoru money
centers solid againg free coin ago of
silver. It is tho fear that tho treasury
department in its efforts to maintain a
parity between the gold and silver
dollar would bo forcod to seek a mar-
ket in Kuropo for tho bonds necessary
for tho maintainance of tLis parity.
Tho secretary of tho treasury Iirs tho
power rather ho is commanded by the
aot of congress July 1-1 1S90 to issue
United Statos treasury gold bonds at
not moro than 5 por cent interest in
sufficient volume to maintain a parity
between gold and silver.
Those bonds could and doubtless
would be sold in England tho treas-
urer receiving thcrofor Bank of En-
gland notes which aro convortable
into gold coin and by that means gold
enough would bo importod to main-
tain the party. It is not that tho
manipulator of finanoo aro afriid
thoro will be too mujh money in the
oountry. Thoy want more money
themsolvos. It is tho desiro to con-
trol tho credit of tho oountry that
makes them frantio whon thero is a
promise of any legislation which may
drive American securities abroad.
This is ovidonood by the faot that no
objection is urgod to froo coinage if
by international agreement a uniform
ratio is established.
THE EVENING NEWS.
The News today resumos its for-
or size of fivo columns to the page
In beginning tho New Year The
News dosires to return its thanks to
its numerous friends and patrons and
makes thorn the promiso now that it

next Monday January 4th. Begin-
ning that day Tub News will con-
tain the full early morning
tolegraph report of 3000 words and
will also contain tho full afternoon
associated press report of from 2000
to 4000 words. This will givo it
nearly eight columns of telegraphic
nows more than has over been
published by any paper in Waco.
Jf tho business of the paper justi
fies tho change it will be again en-
larged to the sizo it maintained dur-
ing the month of December but
whether it is largor or smaller it will
contain all tho nows and
this is what the peoplo want. Its

Thoro are but two oitios in Toxas

Ingredient nf Mnnnrnctiiriul tlnhber.
Whon we wero boys a blow on tho
head from n rubber ball was a matter
of no cdnscquoiico but now tho rubber
balls played with by children nro so
hard that If thrown with sufficient vio-
lence thoy can cause ncrious Injury if
not death. This is because in tho rush
for low prices u number of ingredients
linvo been introduced into rubber to
such nn extent that absolutely pure
rubber Is now bomething moro easily
Imagined than found. Ordinary black
rubber which is hard to tho touch
contains a considerable quantity of lead
In various forms whilo tho whito rub-
ber and cruder will discloso on analysis
quite n largo percentage of zinc.
Rubber Mint Is transparent is fre-
quently prparcd with gun cotton. It
is dillleult to imagine which of theso
threo ingredients is tlio most objection-
able and peoplo who havo a liaba of
chewing rubber need not bo surprised
if very unpleasant feelings result. Of
course rubber adulterated witli mineral
matter is less elastic than tho simon-
pure article and it is no longer possiblo
to stretch n pair of overshoes as it used
to be.
Tlio samo thing is apparent in rubber
used in machinery. Not many years
ago a threo ply belt was considered
strong enough for nny purposo whereas
now a six ply has frequently to bo used.
Tho six ply does not cost so much as
tho old three ply used to but on a
question of cheapness in tho long run
it is probablo tlio old high priced pure
article canio out ahead. interview in

When (lowers or other bright decora-
tions aro hard to obtain a most pleasing
substitute is afTorded by tho cones of
pine or Norway spruce. Theso in their
natural color aro very pretty but their
effect can be greatly heightened by
bronzing or gilding them. Tho liquid
gold paints sold by all dealers in artists'
goods arc cheap and produce good ro
suits. Apply two coats so that the
cone will be well covered. A cluster of
them shining against a background of
dark green will stand put brilliantly by
lamplight. For a good deal of the dec-
orativo work about arches over tho al-
tar and in tho making of crosses nnd
Eiinilnr designs thoy aro much prefera-
ble to (lowers or fruit as thoy aro more
in harmony with tlio overgrcons among
which they aro used.
Provided your gilding is good most
pleasing results can bo secured by giv-
ing coucs-snch a covering. Try it and
you will bo suro to bo pleased with this
new method. It is always well to re-
member that artistic effects do not de-
pend upon elaborate designs. Tlio sim-
plest decorations especially in a church
altar aro ofttimes tho most effective
and wliero tasto is used rather than
quantity success is as a rulo fnr moro
certain. Eben E. Rexford in Ladies'
Homo Journal.
Squlrrol Hid tlio Nuts.
In tho North woods 0110 season there
wero two parties camping a little dis-
tanco apart. Ono party carried into
tho woods n bag filled with Alberts
almonds and other nuts. He hung tho
bag up where ho thought it would be
safe and the next day visited my friend
nnd his associates in tlio other camp
being absent from his own camp two
or threo days. When ho returned my
friend went back with him and on tho
way was told of tho treat in storo for
him in tho shape of nuts. Upon reach-
ing tlio camp however a holo was
found iu the top of tho bag and every
nut gone.
It was supposed tho squirrels had
carried them off to their homes in tlio
woods and nothing more was thought
of it till tho next day when my friend
went to put on a pair of rubber boots
hanging up in another part of tho
camp and in these boots wero all tho
puts nicely stored nway by tho squir-
rels for wintor uso. Interviow in Utica
