1--WE Point With Pride"

To the ''good name at home," won by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. In Lowell, Mass,
where it is prepared, there is more of Hoods
Sarsaparilla sold than of all other medicines,
and il has given the best of satisfaction
since its introduction ten years ago. This
could not be if the medicine did not possess
merit. If you suffer from impure blood,
try Hoods Sarsaparilla and realize its pecu-
liar curative power. /.

Rationale of ChiIdren's Dress.

A sensible note of warning is sounded by The Lancet on the subject of children's dress. Summer has come, and during warm weather children are allowed to play and come home from play under very risky conditions of catching chills or colds ''The whole r,4- tionale of childrens dress is that the warmth should be evenly distributed. It is at once irrational and unsafe to leave the neck, arms and part of the chest exposed while the warmth of the lower portions of the body is maintained with winter precautions" As a matter of common sense, quite apart from medical preaching, why should childlen at any part of the year go about with any DOT tion of the body exposeda It cannot be good for children any more than for adults Yet in winter children are frequently seen with their legs bare and red with cold, their fond parents hugging the delusion that this makes them hardy. So in summer the clothing may be lighter than in winter, but no part of the body should be neglected, and the warmer the clothing is in immediate contact with the body, instead of being worn outside, the better for young and old.-Leeds Mercury.

The Science of Baseball.

Lovers of baseball may find it convenient to keep in mind this explanation of the pitchers curve from Mir R. A Proctor: If the ball is advancing without spin, or is spinning on an axis lying along its course, the cushion of compressed air carried forward by it is conical-or rather conoidal-and therefore resists the progress of the ball equally on all sides, affecting only the velocity. But in the case of the curve, where the ball is spinning on an axis square to it's course, the air in front of the advancing side of the spinning surface cannot escape SC readily as if there were no spin. and escapes more readily on the other side. Hence the resisting cushion of air is thrown toward that side of the ball where the spin is for ward and removed from the other side, and the ball is dedected from the region of great. est resistance -Arkansaw Traveller

Ventilating Beds of the Sick.

In the Cambridge (Mass) hospital there is an arrangement for the ventilation of the beds not generally known. It is SO effective that wish to describe it. Beneath each bed is a ventilating tube of about inches in di- ameter, 50 square inches area, leading directly through the floor to foul air tank, beneath which it communicates with the main venti- lating chimney. About 2,ooO cubic feet of air an hour is thus drawn from beneath each bed. This ventilating tube is connected with the bed above by Q four inch pipe of timed plate, with proper cover and joints, which passes around the side or foot of the bed and into it beneath the clothing. The pipe is heightened with one of the same size of pasteboard or other substance, a non-conductor of heat reaching to any part of the bed. By this simple means foul air is removed as fast as formed, the bed kept free from odor, and the patients body is no longer surrounded with contami- mating gases. As the air presses inward through the porous bed clothing, none es- capes into the ward.
 Further, two inch flexible pipe is ad- justed to that just described, and slipped over the hollow handle of the bed Dan when in use, carrying off odor from that also In the same hospital similar means connect the beds in the private wards with the chimney ol HI orulnary nreplace, up which the pipe reaches about four feet 10 insure a good draught with moderate fire; the part in the chimney is of black iron. The advantages of such an arrangement in cases of sloughs. foul ulcers, cancers, and in levers with ire quent focal dejections, are obvious It may be supposed that the passage of air through the bed would cool it too much. Practically it does not Probably the quantity of air passing Is about the same as in beds orclina- rily at the same temperature of the room, but ill a different direction. York Medical Journal

In a Japanese Theatre.

Japanese theatres naturally have their pe- culiarities A person familiar with them says very singular custom prevails of allowing a visitor for small extra fee to stand up, and the unfortunate individual behind him has no right to remonstrate or to rise and try to get peep at the stage. He may hear, but he cannot see. Another peculiarity is that the extraVagantly disposed visitor may purchase the right to sit upon the stage wherever he likes, and the actors go on with their parts in apparent unconsciousness of his presence. Our authority says he has seen a broadsword combat fought all around a visitor who showed no disposition to move Chicago Herald.

SONG.

o swallow in tho azure spaces, At your coming stin you bring Thought of old times and old faces, With the glancing of your wing. Towering about the rafters, Do you miss your former joys The songs of welcome and the laughter Of the shrill voiced Rhodean boys3 Still close upon the winters traces, With you comes flush of apple boughs; In hollows blue and windy places, Stiffness sweet no storm shall rouse.

select candidates and delegates, to

select candidates and delegates, to
conventions by the popular vote
system. In years gone by Hook
ing County adhered to the rule,
and but little dissatisfaction was
exhibited among the voters with
the candidates, but we are sorry to
say that within the last few years
innovations have been made, at
the expense of decreased ma
jority. The first step toward break
ing down the system of popular
choice was the selection of dele
gates to the State convention by
the County Central Committee,
which was the exercise of a power
not delegated to it, and which it
had no legal right to exercise, that
power having been uniformly ex-
ercised by mass convention of
Democrats over which the Central
Committee had no control or con-
nection.
We maintain that all delegates
whether State, Congressional, judi
icial or Senatorial should be elected
by the party at large, and be direct
ly responsible to it for its acts.
1t may be argued that this may
be, on certain occasions, impossible
for lack of time, but our answer is
that if those specially charged with
the direction of the affairs of the
party are alert and do their duty
such a contingency need seldom or
never arise. Politicians and office
seekers as a rule are anxious to
have the action Of the party dictat-
ed by as few persons as possible,
for the obvious reason that the few
er the number the more easily is it
Influenced, and hence such are al
ways endeavoring to influent.e e the
acts of the Central Committee in
such manner that the voters may
be deprived Of the chance of hav-
ing their voice heard in the selec-
tion of the representatives of the
party in nominating conventions.
AS a remedy for existing evils
and to obviate the necessity of an
unwarranted action by the Centra
Committee, we suggest that time
certain be fixed at which each yea
we will select by popular vote oul
candidates for county officers an6
delegates to all conventions Of tn,
party which meet during the year
and let the time he early, say tn,
first Monday of April, so that ther'
be no probability of any representa-
tive convention Of the party hell
previous to it.

"Whnt Is The TrOuble?"

We have received a circular from
the well known bankers, Harvey
Fisk g. Sons, of New York, in which
the above question is asked in
rather startling headlines. The
circular then proceeds:
'It Is well to seriously ask, What is the
Trouble?' when all securities-stocks and
bonds, and even Government bonds, are
steadily declining-when all products when
the great staple-iron; when wages, as we'll,
of the hard working man, are all declining.

consequence Strikes oil over the land. and

Democracy of New. York has just
lost two wise counsellors, able
leaders and indefatigable workers.
Yet the cause for which the party
is contending rises above the per-
sonality of its leaders and strong
men, and will be no less certain of
success in the coming conflict for
honest government and revenue
reform.
