When Night Workers Should Eat.

For night workers the best regimen
includes u hearty breakfast when they
rise, which is generally from - to 3
o'clock; after this some moderate out
door exercise, which should be follow
ed by q short interval of rest and relax
alton; then y good dinner, partaken of
between 5 and 8 o'clock, at least an
hour before beginning work. If labor
is to continue until or 5 o'clock in
the morning y light nutritious repast
should be eaten shortly after midnight,
in order 10 fortify the system for work
during the hours Immediately follow
ing, when the vital powers are most
enfcebied. When work is finished,
and before retiring, a simple lunch
should be taken, in the form of q cup
of good hot broth or beef tea, or glass
of light wine and couple of crackers;
this will generally insure sleep by
withdrawing the blood from the brain,
where it has been concentrated by
mental effort. In ordinary cases Of
wakefulness after night work, not con-
tirmed by habit, light meal of this
kind will usually prove to be a aremedy.
BY attention to these details, and by
taking sufficient sleep. night workers
can preserve their health under ordi-
nary circumstances. Juliet Corson ans

Drinking With n Southern Man.

don't say that true Southerner
would be mortally offended if you re-
fused to drink with him, yet when he
invites you to you somehow feel that
the invitation comes right from his
heart. and you would feel mean not to
accept. Don't imagine that he walks
around hunting for somebody to swal-
low liquids in chorus with him. His in-
vitation comes only after you have sat
down with him and had chat on old
times and future prospects. He is shy
of you at first. You can feel that he is
sounding you and trying to make an
estimate of whether you will do to tie
to. By and by he warns up and does
two-thirds of the talking. Further on
he bitches his chair little closer.
Then he grows more confidential, and
first you know he taps your arm or
your leg with his finger to emphasize
his remarks. An invit4tion to drink is
not far off. have watched it in 100
cases, and l never knew it to fail
once"
Yes, SIR" he says-'yes, sir, was
in that very fight you speak of, and my
brigade was on our left flank. l tell
you, it was hot. You Yanks were
down behind ridge, and it seemed as
if every one of you had sixteen
shooter. Along about four -. Say,
let's have something"
But started out to tell you how q
Southern man drinks. Almost invar-
iably he takes straight whisky. Your
beer is waitinF while he pours out his
hair-lifter. He raises his glass, surveys
the contents for five seconds, and then
with nod and humble in which you
catch the word luck he seems to throw
the whisky down his throat in lump.
he never stops to taste nor smack nor
dilute. but down it goes as if he hadn't
minute to spare, and you are left with
two-thirds of u glass of beer in your
hand. He'll settle the score, wipe off
his mouth. chew up three or four kern
els of coffee, and consult his watch be-
fore the last of your glass is gone, and
you can't help but feel that you are
trespassing upon his valuable time

She and I.

And said, ''she IL dead, could not brock
Again on that marvellous face 10 look
Bnt they took my hand and they let me in,
And left me alone with my nearest Kin.
Once again alone In that silent place.
Ny beautiful dead and j, face 10 face.
And could not speak. and i could not stir.
But i stood and with love j looked on nef.
With love. and with rapture, and strange
surprise
looked on the lips and the cIoseshut eyes;
On the perfect rest. and the calm content
And the happiness there in her features blent;
And the thin, white hands that had wrought
so much,
Now nerveiess to kisses or fevered touch.
Ny beautiful dead who had known the strife.
The pain, and the sorrow, that we call Lie;
Who had never faltered beneath her cross,
Nor murmured when loss followed swift on
loss;
And the smile that sweetened her lips away
Lay Light on her blessed mouth that day.
Ismoothed from her hair silver thread.
And wept, but could not think her dead.
Ifelt, with wonder too deep Tor speech,
She could tell what only the angels teach.
And over her mouth leaned my ear,
Iest there might be something should not
hoar.
Then out from the silence between us stole
A message that reached to my inmost soul:
"why weep you to-day who have wept before
That the road was rough must journey o'erf
"why mourn that my lips can answer not
When anguish and sorrow are both forgou
"Behold, all my life ! have longed for rest
YEA cen when held you upon my breast.
"And now that lie in q breathless sleep,
Instead of rejoicing you Sigh and weep.

Then dried my tears, and with lifted head
I left my mother, my beautitu, dead.

low q Cowboy stopped Stampede.

''One Of the slickest things / saw In
my travels" said passenger from the
West, was a cowboy stopping cattle
stampede. A herd of about six or
eight hundred had got frightened at
something and broke away pell-mell
with their tails in the air and the bulls
at the head of the procession. But Mr..
Cowboy didn't get excited at all when
he saw the herd was going straight for
high bluff, where they would certain
" tumble down into the canyon and be
killed. You know that when a herd
like that gets to going they can't stop,
no matter whether they rush to death
or not. Phose in the rear crowd those
ahead, and away they go. wouldn't
have given dollar head for that
herd, but the cowboy spurred up his
mustang. made little detour, came in
right in front of the herd, cut across
their path at right angle, and then
galloped leisurely on to the edge of
that bluff, halted and looked around at
that wild mass of beef coming right to-
ward him. He was as cool as cucum-
ber, though | expected to see him
killed, and was so excited | could not
speak. Well, sir, when the leaders had
got within about quarter of mile of
him saw them try to slack up, though
they could not do it very quick. But
the whole herd seemed to want to stop,
and when the cows and steers in the
rear got about where the cowboy had
cut across their path was surprised to
see them stop and commence to nibble
at the grass. Then the whole herd
stopped, wheeled, struggled back and
went to fighting for chance to eat
where the rear guard was. You see,
that cowboy had opened big bag of
salt he had brought out from the ranch
to give the cattle, galloped across the
herds course and emptied the bag.
Every critter shifted that line of salt,
and, of course, that broke up the stam-
pede. But l tell you it was q queer
sight to see that cuss out there on the
edge of that bluff quietly rolling q
cigarette, when it seemed as if he'd be
lying under 200 tons OF beef in about
minute and a half. "-Chicaqo Herald.

AN UNJUST PHRASE CORRECTEn

The Rev. DR.. Burchard very properly dlsavowed In

him by partisan critics. and stated that he intended
no dsrespeot to the Roman Catholic Church In his
remarks at tho meeting Of oleraymen on the Goth.
This statement was proper because his unconsidered
words appeared to class tho Church Of Father
Mathew with tho devotees Of rum, and tho Church
of Archbishop Purcell with tho defenders Of rebel
lion. an Injustice which no intelligent man would
have committed except In hasty ana tbonghtless
use of words That he spoke only for himself was
made evident by the presence of clcrgymcn ri the
Roman Catholic Church at Tho sams meeting aud

Consider seriously that vote for the Demo-
cratic party this year is a vote to sustain and
encourage that disturbance of industry which
the party began with the last session OF
Congress Let us waste no time in trying to
solve the riddles offered BY the platform or the
candidate. What difference does 1t make
whether the party has profcsscd one thing or
another. whether the candidate prctends one
thing or anothcr7 We know what the party
has done; we know what its constant tendcn-

That was thc ncl of party. II is not merely
true that fouI-iifihs of the Democratic members
of the House supported this measure; IL was
framed AT the outset with express intent TO be
made vital issue IN the Presidential election,
and to define beyond question the policy and
aims of the Democratic party. There was no
conccament, and at that time no denial, and
those who resisted this policy were openly de-
nounced as traitors to the party, and invited to
" 90 over to the Republicans where they be-
lOnged" The attempt to conceal or to deceive
was an afterthought. In December, and dur
ing the whole session until May, it was the
majority in Congress to make this bill test of
fealty to the Democratic party, formal ex-
preston of the Democratic will. BY that ex-
preston it will now be judged by those who are
wise enough to defend their own interests

THE SILK WE1TERS.

The London Economist which arrived on Tues
day states that the agitation among the unem-
"ployed working classes at Lyons and St.
Eticnnc is increasing, aud is likely to cause
embarrassment to the Government, which is
"helplcss to revive "A trade that has long been
declining. The French silk, ribbon and velvet
manufacturers are quite beaten in the foreign
markets by the Swiss and Germans, and the
" only remedy they can now suggest is a bounty
L" of 10 per cent on their exports" Hence the
French cotton spinncrs protest against any re-
duction of the duties on the cotton which il
used in the mixed stuils that have so largely
superseded silk, declaring that it would only
transfer the distress from the centres of silk in
dustry to other cities. So IN Coventry. Eng
land there was an agitation for increased wages
among silk and ribbon wcavers, and il WAS
stated that notwithstanding the starvation
prices paid q few months before, there had
been further reduction of 20 per cent in the
wages of some weavcrs who could earn only
81 50 per week. 1t appeared that the silk in
dustry of England had declined more than one
fifth from 1861 TO 1873. In Germany. at Gre
field, IL appears that the average wages of silk
weavers are now only 81 per week, though per-
sous of long experience and exceptional skill
do make in rare cases as much as So So In
Switzerland, where much of the weaving is
done in the families of farmers on hand-looms.

Some of them cling to the Democratic party

VERDICT OF TIE VOTERS

SANDERS against Mr.. Blaine have had no
weight in Ohio. Sheets stepped in malice were
scattered over the State by the million; the
people trod them under foot and voted to sus-
tain him.
There are 1880 dealers in liquor who pay
taxes in Ohio. All of them were urged by their
association to vote against tho Republican can
didatc for Secretary of State as man opposed
to their interests. They cast 4, 1913 more votes
against him than were cast against Republican
candidates for Congress- and nearly as many
more than were cast against the Republican
candidate for Board of Public Works. Had not
the desire to sustain the Republican Prcsi-
dental ticket been very strong indeed, these
10000 dealers could have influenced more than
1000 votes. their own included.
I'm spite of this extraordinary effort, the Re-
pubicans gain, even on the lowest candidate,
2i,000 over their record in the election of Gov
ernor last year, and on other candidates 3O,o
to 80 900. Have these ycrdicts of the people
no weight Maine, knowing Mr. Blaine best,
transfers to him 10000 Democratic votes out of
the $4,000 cast four years ago for Plastcd.
Ohio, knowing him full we'll transfers to him
nearly onc-twonticth of the entire vote cast for
Ioadly year ago. With a free and bonest
vote the change apparent would have been
much greater. But ia il not enough, if the can
