count of the scenes of the Conven-

HON. JUDGE LEONARD
Closed the meeting with few
happy remarks, but declined to
make set speech, as he consid-
cred that the lateness of the hour
preeluded it. He wanted simply to
ratify Blaine and Logan, and longed
to see their good strong admins
tration come. The Democrats were
saying that if Blaine was elected
the country would have foreign
war on their hands. This was not
true. Blaine would simply see that
America was not insulted, [cheersl
and the United States would take
fresh standing among the Nations
of the earth. If you strike an Eng
lishman anywhere you insult the
Crown of England. Let America
give its citizens this came sort of
protection by electing James G.
Blaine. cheers]
After the close of the Judge's re-
marks there were three cheers
for Blaine and Logan, and
as the meeting broke up there was
rush to join the club and the
signatures were still going down on
the roll as the APPEAL goes to
press. No bon6res were built ow-
ing to the high wind which pre-
vailed, and the cord wood was ac-
cordingly distributed among the
deserving poor.

THE PHILOSOIHH or HUGUING.
Too much care cannot be exercised in
putting arms around the young girls OF
to-day, and we would wish to impress
this fact upon The minds of the young
men who are just coming upon the stnge
OF action. OF course men along in Years
do not need advice. The boys nro npt
to put more force in the right arm ihn
they arc awere Of in such cases, 100 per
cent. more than they would he apt 10 do
in saving wood or carrying up n scrittle
of coal. They should bear III mind that
girls are too valuable to be used for de-
veloping the muscles as you would
gymnasium. You don't have to squeeze
girl till her liver isforced from its nor
NAL position, and she chokcs up and
catches her breath, to show that you
love her. A gentle squeeze of the hand,
the stealing of the arm around her wait
when she is not looking, and the least
pressure upon her belt is all the law re-
quires. She can tell by your face whcth-
er you love her, as you sit there i'll the
twilight looking into the guiding star
eyes, as well as though YOU grabbed her
as you would sack OF wheat and hung
on like dog to root. Don't make
barrel hoop of yourself, and try to
break every stave in the girl you think
you love, and you will not have cause
for the sorrow the poor young man in
Iowa has, who meant no harm, hut
lacked governor to equalize his power.
Hug easy till you find that the patient
will stand more, and then you can ap-
ply the proper squeezure. Sometimes
we think there ought 10 be a professor
ship in our female schools for testing the
capacity Of scholars for the trying ordoals
which they must pass through. II
.here was such profcssorship, aud
girls were given ticket or certificate
showing just how much hugging would
be good for them, it might save many
valuable lives, but we don't know of
many who could hold such a professor
ship with credit. Then, if the girls were
given certificates they might alter the
figures and get more hugging than was
good for their health. The best way is
Tor young men to use their good iudg-
ment and then all will be well.

tween English AMI American news

replied in the following manner: "The

THE DREAD or LIGHTNING.
Weak No,ves and Electricity.

IFroln the Hartford Times
The dread of thunder-storlns, which |
is participated in by more than a frac-
tional proportion of our population, is
to them really drawback to the com
plete enjoyment OF the beauties Of ma
ture which unfold to the touch Of spring
and summer.
There is not much use to reason with
these timid creatures. All the philoso-
ply in the world spread out before them
will certainly vanish when the lightning
plays and the thunder rolls.
We have heard of cases in which the
unnatural timidity of both men and
women during thunder-storms appears
silly and laughable. Appointment mem.
Der of the legal fraternity in this city
not only cannot sleep, but he will walk
the floor in agony uutil the storm is
over. There are women who will go
into dark room, shut their eyes and
stuff cotton in their ears to keep out the
sight and noise OF the warning elements.
Others, believing in the efficacy of feath-
ers, get between two feather beds and
endure that kind OF purgatory with
feeling OF safety until the storm abates.
Still others will perch themselves in a
high chair in the middle of q room and
mathematically calculate the chances of
the electric fluid coming straight down
through the roof, floors and plastering
and hitting them bang on the head.
Hair banging by electricity is not desi-
rable. .,
There are instances where ladies are
completely upset and their nerves un.
strung by the dread of thunder-storms,
and, when the clouds are marshaling
their forces in the sky preparatory to an
electrical display, such women take to
their beds-not to seek the protection
of feathers, but because they are sick.
One of those over-sensitive ladies who
resided on Main street, in this city, was
30 completely terrorized by the dread Of
thunder-storms that she admitted that
there was no enjoyment for her in the
summer months, ard but little pleasure
the spring, because summer, with its
hunder and lightning, was coming.
Finally some one told this lady that no
human being had been killed at Hart
ord by lightning for 100 years. From
this assertion she seemed TO gather fresh
courage, and now she can witness a
storm much more philosophically--in
TACT without taking to her bed.
1t Is, however, pleasant to note that
this timidity among Lhe feminines is not
shared by the entire sisterhood. Some
aides really enjoy the sublimity of a
thunderstorm, and 60 about the house

A school. mistress in neighboring
own always made it point in thun-
ler-showert TO call her pupils around her

If the scene. This served the two

md tended to remove any feeling Of
imidity which the scholars might have
possessed.
In reality there is no cause for any
such nervousness and dread OF thunder

CONSUMPTION.

Physicians used TO hold that fatal
,ssue must follow the formation of tuber-
clcs on the lungs. SO long us tubercular
formations could be arrested, there was
hope of patients recov' ry but when
these had planted themselves in tn
lungs, their growth was inevitable and
fatal. But nature is wiser than physi-
cians, and teaches those who study her
ways valuable lessons. Careful disco
ton III recent years has brought to light
many curious fucts. Foremost among
these is the certainty that consumption,
in its tubercular form, Ii often cured.
A series of post-mortcm examinations,
in all Edinburgh hospital, disclosed the
fact that the lungs of one third Of the
persons who died after 30 years OF age
bore marks Of tuberclcs whose growth
had been checked, and III many cases
the disease wholly cured. Part of the
lungs have even been destroyed, and the
cavities filled by the contraction and nd
hesion OF the walls. In some cases
brous tissue had completely inclosed the
parts disintegrated by the disease. II
consumption is durable, as these facts
seem to indicat scientific physicians
will never rest till they have ascertaincd
the most effective methods of treatment.

PROGRESS IN STE4M NAVIGATIOM
1t took just about twenty years time
to carry the first experiments in ocean
steam navigation to the practical success
which was emphasized when the first
Cunarder left the Mersey. As early as
1919, the Savannah, vessel of 300 tons
burden, had struggled across the Allan
tic in twenty-six days. The thing could
be done, that was clear, so far as the
overcoming of physical difficulties was
concerned. But so long as steamer,
with her terrible consumption of fuel
aud her small capacity for cargo, took
as long time on the voyage as q we'll
appointed packet ship, commerce would
have nothing to say to tho matter.
Brains were at work, however, both on
the Clyde and on the Avon, and the
Clyde grnlged the Avon none of the
praise tlit ,eresulted from the voyage OF
the Great Western from Bristol to New
II k in the unprecedented short time OF
thirteen days and half. This was in
1888, when the experimental period Of
ocean steam navigation was drawing to
close. The day of the ship with pad
ilos-and the Great Western, much as
she surpassed her predecessors, was cs-
sentfally this-was at an end. 1t was on
the Clyde, and for the Cunard mail SER
vice, that the idea of the ocean steamer
was worked out. Stout, bluli-bowed
vessels they were, built with the solidity
Of frigates, and Mt cost which nothing
but an extravagant subsidy could justify.
Well, however, they did their work,
burning coal ut rate frightful, in these
more economical days, to contemplate !;
jogging out to sea deep laden in placid
indifference MS to weather jogging
punctually INTO port with tunnels white
to the top with salt water keeping up
alone for full ten years the thread of
steam communication between the Old
World and the New. Then began the
inevitable competition which led to the
establishment of various transatlantic
steam companies. London NeDS.
