4 Vail Goes Up.
Wausesha Democrat.

1t Is CROUCH to melt the heart of the
most hardened old bourbon democrat, to
hear the wall of the officeholders organs
over the wicked postmaster or other fed
eral who happens to appear at demo
cratic caucus, or convention. For twer
ty-four years the federal Office holdsr
was the superintendent. general mara
ger, secretary. treasurer, boss, life and
motive power of republican party eau
cuses, conventions and elections. The
officeholder was omnipresent and omni-
potent every place. at his Office and at
tending 10 his duties. During all these
twenty-four years mo word of com
plant ever arose from the faithful party
organ. No amount of complaint from
democrats and democratic newspapers
ever disturbed the grand old party. Now,
that the democrats have the feder-
al offices, the cruel injustice OF the fed
eral oficeholder in caUcuses and con
yentions. has broken out in the ranks of
the &. o. p. with fury that excites feel
ing of alarm and sorrow. The federal
officeholder Is horrible beast
now He needs 20 be banIshed at
once from politics. It Is the other fel-
lows OK now.

Save YnuT Sugar.
Harper $ Bazaar.

A young housekeeper may know, per
haps, that her lack of experience in a par
ticular branch of cookery is some reason
why she should not meet with Unq qUalifed
success in that direction, put Just why,
for instance, with recipe of authority
before her, and after having but forth
her best endeavor to make cake for
very special occasion, she should at the
last hour find it marred by q heavy
streak through its center, or why in TAX
ing the layer cake from its pans it should
adhere to them IN waIy persistency, to
come out finally with broken ard ragged
edges, are questions so poignant in their
annoyance that an immediate and salts
factory answer would at that particular
moment be ignored a. insufficient recon-
pense for so great disappointment. She
may read now, If she mas not previously
discovered that the failure to make a sue
cessful cake Is one among many uusatis-
factory results of the use of too much
sugar. It often happens that where a
recipe requires tRo cupfuls the generous
hearted measurer, intent upon making an
extra good cake, will heap the cups, which
in most instances causes gaVy or brittle
crust, with the aforesaid disastrous re-
suits The quality of the sugar has also
much to do with the success OF the CAKE
The coarser grade Of granulated sugar
should never be used, for the reason that,
in the short time i! requires TO stir up q
cake, II. being the hardest of all sugars
20 dissolve, viii not become thoroughly y
lncor porated With the butter, and there
fore after the cakes Is IN the oven there
begins melting and hardening process
OF the pure sugar, which not only inter
feres with a proper rising, but gives to 1t
coarse, uneven texture Small white
spots on the crust Of q sponge-cake also
indicate the Use of too much sugar.

The Spider Wants War.


Yesterday Mr.. Longley, who is an old
and well known citizen, came to The Con
stitution Office in his carriage and asked
that a reporter be allowed to go with him
TO his shops. The reporter bounced into
the carriage and asked:
What is it?"
Don't know" was the reply.
Life is short, and time is fecting
What is it?''
"A spider and its web. If you don't
think it worth the trip after you see it,
then l will pay the damages"
When the reporter reached the shops
he was carried into the back way of the
office, and running from an old piece of
boiler to the house was a large spider web
upon which was the word war as plain
ly as could be made.
Now, what do you think of that!'
asked Mr.. Longley.
Don't know" was the reply.
well, little of this goes long ways
with me. don't like for spiders to be
| cutting any such capers around me. 1
would like to know why the blPsted
thing couldn't have spelt something
elSe:"
The spider was still on the web and the
many people who visited the shop ex-
pressed it as their belief that they had
| never before seen a spider like it. 1t was
of deep yellow, with black stripes and
very long black legs.

HEREDITARY DISEASES.
Their Relation to Race Culture is Briefly
Stated.
Popular Science Monthly

stated.
Popular Science Monthly.
A fallacious notion has some what crept
in that an intellectual man must be below
par physically, and that the one faculty is
necessarily cultivated at the expense of
the other. The old proverb, mems sana
in corpore sano, has been houted as an
absurity. SO much very briefly, for the
first cause of race degeneration; the sec
ond, and the one to which this paper
would direct atteItion, the influence of
hereditary diseases. This factor has new
er received the attention it should have
had at the hands of the writers on social
science. The races of which we have
been speaking had little of this element
TO contend with. The weaklings were
either deliberately exposed and left to
die, as in the case of the Spartans, or if
they attained maturity they were held i'll
such low esteem that they willingly kept
in the background. Look for n moment
at our modern civilization and mark its
diametrieally opposite tendency. Every
day hospitals are being erected TO nurture
the deceased and imperfect specimens of
our race, and every year thousands of
children are by skill and care saved from
the death to which nature would consign
them. All this accOrds with our enlarged
notions of humanity, and reflects great
credit on the zeal of the philanthropist
and the science of the physician, but it
exerts baneful effect on the race. To
one who has had access to any large city
hospitals it is a pitiful sight to see the
multitude of children who are tided over
a few years Gnd then sent out into the
world branded with an hereditary taint, TO
propagate their wretched breeds. The
limits of this paper will not allow any
extended statistics, nor the nature of IL
warrant any special discussion of heredi-
tary diseases, but there are TO whose ef-
fects are apparent to all, consumption
and insanity. The former, consumption,
using the term of its widest sense, has
for years produced the most frightfui
ravages. For example, in England, from
1887 to 1841, Of the total number of deaths
from all causes, is. per cent. were from
colsum ption. In Philadelphia, from
1910 to 1S49, it was one OF consumption
to six and half from all othe: causes, or
about Is per cent.

The statement telegraphed from Wash
ington that less than One-half of the
Democratic members of the present Con
gress have been reuominated. and that
the reason for this extraordinary wedding
out of the old favorites in the fact that
the party is not in sympathy with the
President, is somewhat misleading. Dem
ocratic dissatisfaction with the President
may have had something to do with the
retirem mt of good many of the Con
gressmer who viii rot be in the next
House, but that another sentiment has
been at work Is shown by the fact that
the number of Republicans who have
failed of denomination is relatively as
large. More than One-half of the mem
bers of the present House will not be in
the next one. On the Republican side,
as we'll as on that of the Democrats, the
number of new faces viii be very large.
In both parties the desire for change
has been manifested in a way that is not
to be mistaken, and the result will be q
Congress with vast amount OF new blood
in it.
If the people could reach the subserv-
lent tools of monopoly IN the senate with
the ease that they can the members of the
other house. does any one suppose il
would take them long to make as conspic-
uous change in the personnel of that
body: But way will be found TO reach
even the senate.
