enormous vote, but must succeed or be de-
ieated by n small plurality OF 5000 or

important il is for the Democratic ticket
to have every atom of strength pos
sible. As 10 Judge Thurman, no
word OF mine shall ever disparage
his great abilities or the love which is
borne him by the Democratic party. But,
with the Senate equally divided between
the two parties after the 4th of next
March, and the control OF that body de-
pending upon the casting vote OF the Vice
President, II seems not unwise nor unkind

who has borne the heat and burden OF the

drawing TO close. say these things

life, nor do believe he looks with favor

far the best OF any of the candidates, and
his chances are growing every hour. There

The western delegations seem TO be the
only supporters OF Thurman, and though
they are working hard, they are morgan
lied and are steadily losing ground. The
Thurman boom has seen its best DAYS and
is now on the wane. cannot yet esti-
mate what effect the Dickinson boom
will have on the result, but we
don't fear it, / have thought all
the time that the Thurman movement
was simply curtain TO mask the real in
tentions Of the eastern delegations, and
what have learned since my arrival has
confirmed this impression. The California
men are evidently in earnest but they are
making few recruits. | do not anticipate
any trouble overt the platform. The Pacific
slope delegations are demanding a silver
plank, but there won't be any trouble over
II. The platform will be formulated in
committee, and all differences will be set
tied there. We may make the silver men
some concessions, but there won't be any
trouble over il. The convention won't
lose over two or three hours after Il is or
ganized. Gray will be nominated and the
platform will be adopted by acclamation. "

The Paris egg is the greatest of all mys-
teries, not so much for its sacred qualities as
among the sncients, or for the strange germ
of life that exists within it which has con-
siderably worried modern scientists. 1t is
still sacred, but to the dealer only, and the
life principle which it contains sometimes
indeed disturbs, In non-scientific way, the
digestion of the purchaser. To the Ameri-
can an egg is either fresh or 1t is nothing;
that is it is nothing but an abomination As
an edible it is of such extreme delicacy that
it does not know, and can not know, degrees
Of excellence. When it is not the very vir-
gin purity of freshness it is fit for nothing
but to be thrown at an unpopular orator or
to be assigned to the tender care of that SYM

yolk and the white becomes confused, there
is an active generation of sulphuseted hydro

of life slowly but surely merges into the flesh

1t does not lose its financial value. The bes'

In Scotland ard in England the apple is a
very popular divinirs medium in love mat
ters. Part OF this popularity is probably
due to the common notion that the tree of
knowledge of good and evil was al apple
tree. Horace mentions tho use of apple pins
in love affairs. A lover would take pip be
tween the finger and thumb and shoot it up
to the ceiling. and if it struck it, his or her
wish would be accomplished. Nowadays a
maiden tests the fidelity of her beloved by
putting pip in the fire, at the same time
pronouncing his name. If the pip bursts
with a report, it is a sign that he loves her,
but should it burn silently, she is convinced
of his want of true affection for her This
is often performed with nuts instead of pips
Gay mentions the common amusement of
pairing an apple without breaking the peel
and then throwing the strip over the left
shoulder, in order to see the initial letter of
the lovers name formed by the shape the
pairing takes upon the ground This is often
one OF the many divinations duly practiced
on Halloween or All Saints eve. Another
way at the same season is for the curious
| maiden to stand before looking glass comb
| ing her hair with one hand and eating en-
apple held in the other; the face of the
| future husband will then be seen in tie glass
| looking over her left shoulder

tions," .gives another apple charm Every

The owner Of the apple that first falls of is
declared to be upon the point of marriage,
and as they fall successively, the order in

matrimonial honors is clearly indicated,

whose apple ia the last to drop. Chambers

This is always desirable, and the speed

welcome is 1t in the case of those usually
industrious little organs, the kidneys,
which, when they 60 on strike-so to

health in more than one way. First and

such dangerous maladies as Bright's dis

they fail to assist In removing from the
blood impurities that beget rheumatism,
