THE terrible disaster in the British chan

Tur tarriI,Ie disaster i'm the British chan
mol caused Inv the collision of two of the
German iron clad vessels of war IS as sur
prising as it is shocking, occurring, as u
did, during calm and bright weather ana
in omen day There was neither fog nor
a boisterous sea, and there must have been
gross carelessness or ineliiciency on the
part of the sailing officers. The number
of killed is not vet accurately known, but 1t
is to be feared that il Will be found TO be
800 The vessel sunk, the Crosse kurtust,
was an iron-clad frigate, of very large
size carrying four of krupp's immense
guus, and was propelled by engines of
200 horse power and clad IN iron arnlor
of nine inches thick but powerful as this
vessel may have appeared to resist the fear
full missiles of modern naval warfare, she
was sunk almost instantly by being struck
by the PROV of a sister ship, which was
also very seriously damaged. Can it be
that such ships could prove invincibe in
war? 1t will strike the world as strange
that this vessel 50 quickly yielded to the
shock of collision and that the collision
was allowed to occur under the circum-
stances. The loss of this ship and of so
many lives naturally recalls similar diSas-
ters to men-of-war in the past. The Bri-
tish frigate the Royal George sunk off
Spithead in 1882, and its commanding Off
Ger aud 600 men were lost; the British
frigate St. George and Defence were
wrecked off the coast of Jutland in 1911
and 9, 600 men were drowned ; the British
troop ship BiIkenhead struck a rock near
Cape Town in 1852 and 354 Of the crew

THE result of the Republican primary
elections in Lancaster county was a blow
To the Cameron ring as severe as it was un-
expected. Whenever Simon Cameron
wanted, and he nearly always did, to con-
troll the Republicans of that county and
mould them nbedieut 20 his will, he was
able. through his active adherents and
subsidizcd press, to command success ; but
ON last Saturday week he suffered disas-
:ruus defeat, majority of the members OF
the Legislators, as well as the candidates
for the various county Offices returned, be
ing hostile to '.the family and unwilling
ans longer to wear the collar. 1t warns his
SON. Don. that their will be lion in his
path ready TO dispute his right of return to
the United States Senate. The defeat OF
the Cameron clan in its Lancaster strong
hold is significant, aud its effect on other
Rapu5Iicau counties in selecting candidates
for the Legislature will be looked for with
mote than usual interest. This is the first
time i'm the politics of the State that a mem
her Of the Louise of Cameron has ever sub.
mitted his claims to recognition and sup
port to a direct vote of the Republican
party. and il will now have full discretion
in deciding whether it will continue to ex,

Ir is announced that Henry VI. Hoyt, the
Republican candidate for Governor, and
Aaron X. Duuklc, the Republican candi-
date for Secretary of Internal Affairs, are
about to pay visit to the OIL regions, the
motive being TO allay, if possible, the in
tense feeling of hostility in that section
against the late Republican Legislature,
for defeating the free pipe bill and also the
bill against freight discrimination in the
transportation ofoil. The journey through
the disturbed oil district proposed TO be
taken by the head and tail Of the Repu5li-
can State ticket, may, therefore, be said to
be- prompted by a feeling of political ne
cessity. We do not know what views Hoyt
entertained N reference to the two meas
Tres referred TO, but as he was the candi-
date Of the Philadelphia ring it is fair to
presume that be was opposed to both. In
the case of Duukle, however, we know that
as a member of the Senate be opposed the
flee pipe bill and by his vote aided in de-
featiug it. After his record in the Senate
on this question 50 closely affecting the TO-
terests of the oil producers, it requires a
vast amount of check 20 exhibit himself in
/ the oil regions for he purpose of concilia-
I ting the very men whose hopes he helped
by his vote to crush in the Senate. On the
! other hand, Andrew II. Dill has always
been the friend of free pipe bill When
that project was before the Senate in 1875
/ he supported it, and at the last session be
advocated it in an able speech and voted
for it. The vote throughou5 the oil coun
ties next Novembc will show that Mr.
Dilfs devotion TO their best interests il
fully appre 3!ated.

THE first witness examined before the
Potter committee, ON Saturday last, was
james f. Anderson, Supervisor Of Regis
traton in last Feliciana parish, Louisia-
ma, at the Presidential elcctio in NOvem-
ber, 1876, and the startling nature of his
testimony shows the supreme necessity for
the inves igation. His statements, and the
letters of John Sh, rmau and Stanley
Mathews which he p'oiuced, implicaie
both these right hand friends of Hays in
the frauds. The following summary of
Anderson's testimony indicates its general
character:

New Orleans, after a pCaceubIe election, ne
was asked to assent TO a false and forged pro-
test asserting the contrary. SVcHnd-Ihet he
was promised Office by John sherman if he
he produced a copy of letter from Sherman.

increase in the death rate Of the colored
people since they were thrown upon their

is a broad one, and humanitarian organiza-

Table Manners.

Among the most trustworthy tests of
good home training, is placed that of table
manners; and no individual can hope to
acquire and to keep them who knows any
difference in them when IN the privacy
of the family circle than when in com
pany. The properly trained youth does
not annoy those next to whom he sits by
idgeting in his chair, moving his feet,
playing with his bread, or with any of
the table equipage. Neither does he
chew his food with his mouth open, talk
with it in his mouth, or make any of
those noises in eating which are the
characteristics OF vulgarity. His food is
not conveyed in too large or too small
portions to his mouth; he neither holds
his head erect as if he had swallowed a
ramrod, nor does he bury his face in his
plate He handles his knife and fork
properly, and not overland, y as clown
would; he removes them from the plate,
as soon as it is placed before him, and
he places them side by side when he has
finished, and not before. as this is the
signal which well-drilled butler OBJ
serves for removing the plate He does
his cup. He avoids using his handker-
chief unnecessarily, or disgusting those
who are eating by trumpet-like perform
ances with it. He does not converse in
loud tone, nor indulge in uproarious
laughter. If he breaks an article he is
not profuse in his apologies, but shows
his regret in his face and in his man
ners rather than in words. Some writer
has said: AS it is i'll hammered to ex-
press too much regret so it is the essence
of rudeness not to make any apology"
Tittlebat Titmouse, when he broke
glass dish, assured his hostess that he
would replace it with the best in London.
This was rather too practical form of
showing his sincerity.
The well-bred youth breaks his bread
instead OF cutting it, taking care not to
crumble it in slovenly way, he takes
his wine holding his glass by the stem,
and never drains it, He does not take
wine that he does not want because he
is too timid to refuse, nor does he hest
tate to pass any course of which he does
not wish to partake, instead of playing
with it as writer on table etiquette ad-
vises. He swallows his food before he
leaves the table, and sees no occasion
for astonishment because eating in the
street is forbidden All the details of
good breeding are as familiar to him as
his alphabet, and he has been taught to
think that attention to details in all
things is the true sign of great mind,
and that he who can, in necessity, con-
slider the smallest, can also compass the
largest subjects.

Acids.

Fruit, if eaten at seasonable hours,
furnishes all the acid which the system
requires When there is craving for
sour food, for pickles or for lemons, it
is generally a strong indication that the
system has real need Of acids, and
lemons or vinegar are sometimes the
best medicine to cure biliousness and
restore the failing appetite. A year
ago l saw a child pass through one of
these poor spells. He lost his appetite
and could not bear the sight or smell of
food, until he caught sight of dish Of
dried-apple sauce, and then he was pos
sessed with desire for some of the
juice. This seemed to refresh him, and
he ate for his next meal bread soaked
in the juice of stewed dried apples.
After that, canned tomato, cooked with
bread, helped forward the cure. Before
this illness, he had for few weeks liv-
ed almost entirely without fruit, con-
trary to his usual habit. Fresh fruit,
eaten without sugar, and uncooked, is
best 1t made into pastry, the i'll effect
of the pie crust is often greater than
the good effect of the fruit inside the
pie. AS for the fruit sauce on the ia
bic, it is better than heavy supper of
meat, but there is some sense in the
old saying, that Fruit is golden in the
morning, silver at noon, and lead at
night" Perhaps any kind of fruit or
vegetables may be used to excess, or in
too large proportion as compared with
the rest of the diet. Certainly acids
should be used in moderation, especial
ly the strong kinds. Because the juice
Of lemon may be an excellent cure for
biliousness or fatulence or for other
diseases, it by no means follows that
SCHOOLGIRLS can thrive upon their daily
use. But, used moderately the good ef-
fects Of acids can scarcely be counted.
