the debate q delegate desired to know
when the permanent officers would be seat

Murray Myers aud J II. Alley to conduct
Mr.. Irwin, the chairman of the permanent
organization, to the chair. The chair then
requested the same gentleman to conduct
Mr.. Hammond to his seat, after which the
debate on resolutions was resumed, and

Not in Politics.

from young man who had just
plucked the political bee from his bon
net. "What are you going to run for
this springP | asked. (He has been
standing candidate for some position
or other for several seasons past) II
am not candidate for anything" he
said, land l don't want you to get me
mixed up in politics any more. If you
ever catch me running again before
I'm so, l want you to proclaim me a
swindler. No, sir; I've been there and
I've been burned. It's only one man
in hundred that succeeds in politics.
The other ninety-nine if they stick to
the business, will wind up in the poor
house; or, what is equally bad, as
stool-pigeons in gin-mill. l speak
from an experience of three years, and
know I've just stopped on the brink
of precipice. I'm going to attend to
business for the rest of my life-at
least till Pm 60-and then, if an ad-
miring nation wants to make me JUS
tice Of the Peace, I'm willing. But no
high aspirations, 0, mol" Ninety-nine
out of every hundred of the young

A New Feature in Fruit Preserving.

California fruit growers have dis
covered that apricots bleached with
sulphur fumes and then dried in the
sun are superior TO those that are dried
in any other manner or that are
canned. They regard this fact of very
great importance to the whole State.
1t enables every fruit culturist, how
ever limited his means, and however
small the product of his orchards, to
dry his own fruit for market, and
make him independent of the canning
factories. 1t is also stated that fruit
can be prepared in this manner more
cheaply than in any other, that its
weight is better preserved, and that it
is OF superior flavor. Large dealers in
dried fruit say that the market for such
products of California orchards will
always be greater than the supply can
possibly be, The United States alone
will readily take all the fruit of the
kind and quality now being produced
by the sun-drying process that Califor-
MIA can ever raise. Many thousands
of apricot trees have been planted
within recent date in orchard form
in Southern California. Sun-dried ap-
ricots are being sold to California deal
ers at double the price paid for the
best raisins.

Carl Schurz, Franz Sigel and August
Schelfert were fast friends in their
youth. Sigel and Schelfert were in the
same military class in school in Ger
many, the former being graduated for
ty-seventh and the latter fifth in class
of fifty. The three came to America
together. Schurz is the noted politi-
clan and editor, Sigel became the ia
nous general, and Schelfert is a bar

Henry Watterson's short, trim, mar
tial figure is becoming very familiar to
Washingtonians. He looks like an ac-

wind in the pocket of his sack coat.
He has lived so much that you are apt

youth in the quickness with which he
walks and talks and works. He is a
very active man. You see him on the
floor of the house, in the corridors, on
the street, at q reception, at dinner,
in his office on Fourteenth street, in his
room at Welcker's, at John Chamber
lain's late in the evening-always busy.
He goes in for pleasure with the same
earnestness as though it were work. He
is a thorough master of the art of liv-
ing. He gets more out of a day in the
way of both work and play than dog

How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side of plate of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts ofthe cases-backs, centers, bezels,e etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit of all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and solidity, while
the wriiten guarantee of the manufacturers
warranting each case to wear toenty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many of
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth
by years of use without wearing through
the gold. DUBUQUE, L., Dec. a. $780,

The Right to Commit Suicide.

In the ancient world it was held to
be the right of individuals, under GER
tain circumstances, to kill themselves,
if they could render their country
thereby service, or even if they wish
ed to rid themselves of care in this
world. Hwas quite common, in Roman
history, for generals to sacrifice them
selves in order to win victories or to
accomplish n great patriotic or family
end. The Stoics held that man was
his own master, and if he wished "to
shuttle off this mortal coil'' there was
no divine law, and should be no human
enactment, to say him nay. But the
advent of Christianity taught n new
doctrine on this point. This was the
inviolability of human life. Man did
not belong to themselves, but to his
Maker. and killing ones self was as
unjusttiable as Staying q felow-man.
But several modern writers have advo-
Gated the old view. The most recent
convert is the eccentric Elmira clergy
man, the Rev. Thomas X. Beccher.
Writing to newspaper, on this sub
ject, he says "that when tits determined
by an individual, with the approval of
his friends, that it is mo longer worth
while to drift about on this sinful
planet he is then justified in sailing
into the hereafter by his own act" 1t
is a question with some physicians,
whether in some phases of human suf-
fering, occasioned by terrible and NOR
tai diseases, it should not be permissi-
BILE to deprive the sufferer of a life that
is so intolerable to him. A German
actress named Gallmeycr was in such
agony from cancer that she begged her
physician to relieve her of her life. But
of course, the doctor, while he sympa-
thized with her, could not comply with
her wishes. Death is no great terror
to some people. In China men have
been known to offer themselves candi-
dates for capital punishment, as substi-
tutes for noted criminals, for small
sums OF money, to add to tho comforts
and provide for the necessities of their
families. Death, in all nations, is oft
en- a relief to the suffering and afflicted.

The Bite of an Epileptic.

In England, recently, young man
was bitten in the hand by woman
who had fallen in an epileptic fit.
Three days afterward he died, and the
neighborhood became greatly excited
over the occurrence. The case only
tends to add additional testimony to
the fact that the public love sensations.
This death may have been merely a
coincidence, or, again, bite from any
person or any animal will occasionally,
or we should rather say might occa-
sionally, set up degree of infiamma-
ton in an already depraved and weak
ened constitution that might prove
fatal. But to suppose that the bite of
an epileptic is any more serious, SIM
ply because it is inflicted by an epi-
leptic, than would be similar wound
received from any other person, is GER
tainly unreasonable, and not to be en-
tertained in the pathological light of
to-day. - Medical and Surgical Re-

Health and Success.

A sound body has more to do with
success in life than most persons real
ize. There are instances where men
in continued ill-health have achieved
eminence, but this is not the rule.
Alexander Stephens, of Georgia, and
Thaddeus Stevens. of this State, on
old commoner, were considered re-
markable men, because, despite i'll
health. they impressed themselves on
the nation. There are other cases in
distant lands-enOugh to prove the
rule. We do not, of course, hear of
the many failures in life resulting from
ill-health. The failures, either in
speculation or life, are not paraded.
But there are examples where momen-
tary spasms of ill-health have clouded
the minds of men of genius and de-
ranged their plans. Napoleon lost one
of his great battles because of fit of
indigestion. And when the mind must
carry the ailments of diseased body,
and yet do its legitimate work, it evil
IDENTIFY must perform double duty. 1t
cannot always do this and succeed.
Hence healthy body has much to do
with success in life.
One of the first considerations, then
in family training is that which relates
to health, and this is the more impor-
tant in our day, when so much of
child's life is spent in close school
rooms, and it is compelled to breathe
q vitiated, super-heated atmosphere.
Pure air and exercise are Natures
great restoratives, and these need to
be intelligently and regularly impaired.
The play-cure for children is far better
than summer resorts and medicated
waters. Play supposes outdoor exer-
else. 1t imparts buoyant spirits,
cheerful mind, gives healthy tone to
the thought and makes the blood pure
and strong. But play alone is not best
as all work is not. "All work and
no play makes Jack a dull boy" is a
true adage. Sill some work is needed
for its disciplinarys influence, and to
make firm the muscles and nerves.
This work should be. as far as possible,
out of doors. But if this cannot be
given, u saw and buck for wood in the
cellar is better than no work at all.
Among the elements favorable to
good health is pure air when sleeping.
If children are accustomed to ventilat-
ed rooms, they will ultimately enjoy
them, and will feel oppressed in an
unventilated room. And they will
sleep soundly and healthily when the
cold air of winter is pouring in-so it
does not blow on them. Sleep under
such conditions is not affected by
troubled dreams, nor is it followed by
nervous headache. Healthful sleep is
dreamless. And this supposes fresh
air and not too much heat. A cold
room is better than an overheated
room. But one that is sufficiently
comfortable for preparations for retir-
ing to be made without chill is best
Children thus reared will grow up
BEAUTIFULLY; and this good health, with
intelligent, practical education and
self-reIiance, will be of more value
than thousands of unearned capital

There can be no doubt that the weather of the
present year, all over this continent at least, has
been marked by unusual disturbances, and, to
whatever influence due, these disturbances must
form the subject of speculation and conjecture.
In regard to the floods which have devastated
the Ohio Valley, there is reason to believe that
some of the agencies producing them are or
have been under the control Of man. The
reckless destruction of the forests must tend to
acgravate all flood phenomena, and in the
same way must causc the too rapid draining of
the watersheds affected, so that in the dry sea-
son the water supply will fall short. The
destructive storms in the Mississippi Valley and
on the Pacific Coast in the San Gabriel Valley
are less easily traced. TOrnadOeS in the South
at the end Of the winter season have indeed oc-
Cured frequently, but seldom or never so ex-
tensively and destructively as this year.
Even if we are disposed to adopt the theory
of Blasus, that tOrnadOes are always the accom-
paniments Of southeast storms, and are the
results of peculiar cOnjunctions between two
contending air-currents and favorable cOndgu-
rations of the carth's surface, we should still be
at loss TO explain the number and violence of
these occurrences without postulatng some
general disturbing influence such as might be
found IN the climactical manifestation Of
cyclic solar phenomena. 1t is further evident
that powerful electrical forces were at work in
the Southern tornadOes, as shown not only by
the striking luminous effects accompanying them
but by the severe hail-stOrms which occurred
during their progress. The Pacific Coast floods,
caused evidently by those sudden exaggerated
rain-storms locally called "cloud bursts" are
not less phenomenal than the Southern disas-
ters; and all these things together appear to
Indicate condition of excitement and disturb
ance In the atmospheric currents so marked
and exceptional as to justify the suggestion of
some special and abnormal agency.
The meteorological observations of which
such vast quantities are being taken have GER
tanly not yet justified the pains and expense of
their collection. Perhaps one reason OF this Is
that suggested by Blasius-namcly, that to OBJ
tain any knowledge concerning storms which
will be of scientific value, it is necessary to
observe individual storms from beginning to
end, and II is of little use to take periodical in
strumental Observations without regard to the
special habits, so 10 speak, OF particular storms.
The collection OF masses Of meteorological
observations has, IN fact, been deprecated by
