Principle and Policy.

and show and buster will carry the day
sometimes, but in the long run principles
have more weight than policy. The demo-
cratic party has been using some methods Of
getting return to power which will dam
age the party in the end. They took Hor.
ace Greeley. a life long opponent of every.
thing they advocated, as their candidate
for President. and were beaten out OF sight
A case of as great inconsistency is that OF

He was elected to the Forty-fourth Con-

how much Of Democrat he is can be

POPULAR IDEAS OF THE CRosS.-ln
the west of England there is tradition
that the cross was formed of the mistle-
toe, which before that event used to be q
fine forest tree, but has since been
doomed to lead a parasitical existence.
The gypsies believe that it was made. of
the ash tree The nails used at the cru
cifxion, said to have been found by
Helena, are reported to have worked
many miracles. One of them was thrown
by her into the Adriatic during storm,
and produced a perfect calm. Another,
placed in the crown or helm of Constan-
tine, was found in mutilated state in
the church of Santa Croce. The third is
said to be in the possession of the Duemo
of Milan, while that of Treves claims
the fourth. In the time of Charlemange
a new relic was discovered in the shape
of a sponge soaked in the blood of
Christ. In Cheshire the Aratns nsacatt0-
tuns is called ssGethsemane, because it
is said to have been growing at the foot
of the cross, and to have received some
drops of blood on it's petals. "Christ's
thorn" is a very common plant in Pales-
tine. In Scotland it was formerly be-
lieved that the dwarf birch is stunted in
growth because the rods with which
Christ was scrourged were made from it.
These are the popular ideas of the ma
terisl of the cross, some of which will
perhaps, never be entirely obliterated
until the last great day. when "all
things shall be made plain.

Effects Of Cold Storms ON Poultry.

Each season of the year brings its
special work and care, demanding the at
tention of the keepers of poultry. Ex-
cepting the first bleak autumn storms,
no period of the year is SO trying to the
constitutions of fowls as cold, spring
rain storms. Birds that have stood the
severity of winter without any apparent
signs of disease, often succumb to the
effects of chilly rain storm. The germs
OF disease, however, are sometimes con-
tracted during confinement in winter.
and the sudden change of weather, ex-
perienced during cold rain will de-
velop the malady, which is likely to be-
come contagious. Fowls that have been
highly fed and kept warm to induce lay
ing, will, like forced plant, be tonten-
der to stand neglect during the early,
drenching rains that penetrate to their
very skins.
The danger need not be feared, how
ever, by those who will take little extra
care of their stock during such weather.
As soon as the earth softens under the
first mild breath of spring, fowls are all
awake to the prospect of getting worms
and other insects from the ground. They
will then be of, prowling about before it
is light enough even to see their prey,
but as they evidently know that the
early bird catches the worm. they are Oh
the ground betimes. Perhaps the next
day there is severe change in the
weather, with sleet or rain, and you will
see the birds hunting about, in hopes of
finding insects, till they get soaking wet
through their feathers, and, if not we'll
cared for, this often proves fatal.
Most fanciers have noticed that cold
storm frequently stops hens from laying
for week. Now, this delay and risk of
sickness may often be prevented by Civ
ing them liberal mess of soft, warm
food, with little cayenne pepper in it.
To this should be added a generous
amount of animal food, either scraps or
haslets, to take the place of the supply
of worms, which is stopped when the
fowls cannot get out. With this little
extra care, hens will often keep on lay
ing, retain perfect health, and be profit
able to their keepers. Henry Hale in
Rural Ne,o Yorker.

THE STovEPIPE HAT.-The stovepipe
hat is the great, the sovereign symbol of
modern sociology. It is clumsy, ugly,
uncomfortable /; you can neither sit on
it, nor use it as a pillow, nor depend upon
it as a helmet it will spoil in rain or
snow, and it is powerless to preserve you
from sunstroke And yet life, as we live
1t, is at best a struggle for the stovepipe.
For the right of wearing it one day
in the week, the honest poor man sweats
from dawn to dusk, and is encouraged
thereto by his helpmeet. To achieve
this. the indomitable energy that comes
to the city with half-dollar in its pock-
ct sets seriously to work, and drudges at
its desk ten hours out of the twenty -four.
The prince countenances it, the peer can
afford to daily with it, the poet is in

the nonce ennobled with it, the school
boy dreams of it, the peasant aspires to
it. Symbolically, it is the solar center

Curablllty OF Consumption.

The best physicians are coming more
to acknowledged that tubercular consump-
ton can be cured.
DIR. Carl Booth of New York, man
eminent in the regular profession, claims
that he is able to cure sixty per cent. of
consumptives at all stages; and that it is
easy to arrest the disease in its early
stages. His aim is to secure five points:
I. To get the muscles which control
the action of the lungs into such con-
dition that they can draw the air forcibly
into the finest passages. thus clearing
the lungs of all phlegm and pus, and re-
establishing capillary circulation and res
piration in the activity of the air-cells
generally.
2. To establish perfect digestion, as
similation and excretion. In this he
does not seek what to people generally
is the most nutritious and most easily
digested food, but such as the particular
patient can most readily digest and as
simulate.
3. To heal the tubercles by transform
ing them into cretaceous (chalk -like)
mass. He secures this az with food
rich in salts of lime; ~ certain miner
ais, such as lime and silica; t3) certain
acids, such as citric, which promote the
oxidation of eftete matter.
4. To increase the activity of the air.
cells. This is accomplished by bringing
the patients under the influence, as much
as possible, of sunlight, ozone, fresh air,
and bodily exercise. He says: They
sleep with open windows in summer and
winter, and go out every day. So inn

They Would Live In a Star.

Burdette tells about his trip on the
sound, on the way to Nantucket. Says
he: It is summer time; and the stars, the
eternal, changeless, beautiful stars. just
sit down minute and let me tell you
about those stars. Very near us sat two
young people. They sat up and looked
at the stars, and they didn't care for any
solitary thing, any nearer to this earth.
Mortimer" she murmured softly,
.Mortimer"-his name appeared to be
Mortimer, though I couldn't learn
whether it was his front name or his after
name-ssM Mortimer DEAR she said, 'tif
we could only live apart from this busy
and sordid, unsympathetic world, in one
of yon glittering orbs of golden radiance,
living apart from all else, only for each
other, forgetting the base things of
earthly life, the coarse greed OF the
world and its animal instincts, that would
be our heaven, would it not, dear?"
And Mortimer he said that it would.
There, heart of my own" he said, and
his voice trembled with earnestness,
ssmy own darling Ethel, through all the
soft radiance of the day and all the
shimmering tenderness of night. our
lives would pass away in an exalted at

earthly mortals, and far beyond the

day, our lives refined beyond the COM

And Just then the man with the gong
came out. Mortimer, he made grab
at the back of Ethel's hand and plunged
for the cabin door. Down the stairs they
rushed, collared couple of CHAIRS at the
nearest table, feed waiter and opened
the action without skirmishing. I am a
man of coarse mold and an earthborn
appetite myself, and wouldn't live IN

timer and Ethel had eaten two blue fish.
q little rare beefsteak, some corn bread,
plate of hot cakes, two boiled eggs and
bunch of onions, and the waiter had gone
out to toast them some cheese.
I have, during my wanderings, met
several people who wanted to live IN o
star, where earth born people with ami
NAL appetites couldn't trouble them, and
I always found the safest place for an
earth born man, when the star born soul
started for the dinner table, was behind
a large rock. Distrust the aspiring NOR
