In the way of athletics, H., 10 n certain
extent, n science, and must bo practiccd
regularly, whllo nj the same time tho
mind Is at work 90 bring tho body into
such n position ms 90 attain the best re-
suits. +. Byrd Page, the young Amori-
can who became the worlds champion
high-jumpcr when no cleared six feet
four inches at Philadelphia on October
Z, 1887, talks knowingly on tho subject
when he snys that every man has his
own peculiar method, but that there aro
certain points which all jumpers OBJ
serve. Only "A few years ago n standing
jump OF five feet seven inches was con-
sidcred marvellous, and but few athletes
in tho United States could attain even
that. Now thorc arc several mon In
almost every city Of importance in tho
country who arc able 90 accomplish 10.
There are many ways Of approaching
the bar practicod by good athletes, but
those who stand near the top Of tho
list, including Mr.. Page, run toward 10
directly AZ right angles. When tho lar
IS reached tho body should bc crouched
as low M possible, ms only by that
means arc all tho muscles Of the body
brought into play. Tho leverage OF
the back IS also important in assisting
the jumper, and by constant practice
the cartilsgcs which connect tho spino
may bo brought 70 high state OF
elasticity.
Tho method practlcod by Mr.. Po-go
Is % approach the bar with three un-
equal long bounds and two short ones,
after which tho crouohlng position Is
assumed Whom making tho final
spring ho twists tho right foot vio-
lcntly outward, after which both arms
and legs arc icrkcd suddenly upward
20 give additional impetus 90 the jump.
Tho knees arc brought into contact
with the chest, thereby causing tho
body % occupy tho smallest possible
space when crossing the bar. Tho sud-
den twisting Of tho right foot outward
jmparts a similar motion % the body,
thereby causing IL % turn half way
round from left % right. When tho

In hlushing pride and grush gladacss.
But now She is gone and the hours lag on,
With sense OF loss, and a sense OF sadness
And the ilrclght dear betrays tear,
on the dear old check OF the mother shining,
Which the father spies, then fondly tries
To sooth her sorrow and sad ropuug

This day Ia dread ON which another,
Would steal her away, as !, one day
stole that same little Bessie mother"'
Then smiles come fleet. and fond and sweet
And the old eyes meet by the urcsidc coy,
And the grieis and tears and fears OF years,
Flicker away in tho hrolight rosy.

A BAD NASAL ORGAN.

For over four years have been Il great
sufferer from terrible form of Nasal Ca
tarrh. was greatly annoyed with a con-
slant roaring in my head and my hearing
became very much impaired
The discharge from my nose was profuse
and very offensive, and my general health
impaired. tried most all prominent ply
Sicians, but they did not cure me, and l
used various advertised preparations with
out benefit.
One day changed to read remarkable
article written by prominent citizen of
Athens, Ca. stating that he had been per-
manently cured by the use of eight bottles
of B. B. B.-Botanic Blood Balm. Being
skeptica OH the subject, wrote to him on
the subject and received most encourag.
ing answer to the effect that he had been
cured long enough to be thoroughly salts
fed that no return of the disease would en-.
sue.
| then sent to the drug store of T. E.
Smith d Bro, and purchased B. B. B., and
to my utter establishment and satisfaction,
the use of ten bottles has restored my gen.
eral health, stopped the roaring sensation,
entirely healed and cured the nasal catarrh
and am pround to recommend a blood
remedy with such powerful curative pro-
perties.
Ishall continue its use a little longer and
feel confident that will he entirely cured
OF one of the most obstinate cases of nasal
catarrh in the country.

fail ofits purpose, although it may
defer action on the nomination sever
al weeks. The proposed promotion
of the Secretary will be made the oc-
casion of lengthy and partisan de-
bate by the Republicans, in which
the South will be severely assailed.
Senator Sawyer, eff Wisconsin, and
one or two other Republican Senators,
have intimateda willingness to vote
for Mr.. Lamar's translation, and
there is little doubt of his ultimate
success.
The Democratic Senators are very
pronounced in favor of tariffreform,
and they have appointed a commit
tee of which Mr.. Kenna is chairman,
to confer with the party leaders
in the House on the issue of tax re-
duction, as such a bill must neces-
sarily originate in that body. Mr..
Kenna's selection is significant, as
his views on the question of tariff
legislation are known to be cohserva-
tive, and it is therefore thought that
he is inclined to favor a compromise
measure.
Both parties realise that the tariff
must be revised, and they are accord
ingly making preparations with the
view of accomplishing that object
and at the same time preserving par
tisan alignments. 1t remains to be
seen whether such a difficult feat in
political gymnastics can be executed
successfully.
Among the Presidents Christmas
presents were a frozen watermelon
and live golden eagle. 1t is sup
posed that tae melon was disposed of
at the White House, but Mr.. Cleve-
land having no place about the man
sion for the proud bird of liberty,
presented him to the 900" at the
National Museum, to keep company
with the bear, deer, prairie dog,
wolves, and red foxes recently receiv-
ed from the West, and which it is
believed will form the nucleus OF
large collection of American wild
animals and fowls.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Jan, ., 1888.
At the close of the year it is
probably the proper thing to briefly
review the Governments financial
condition. During the month of De-
cember, the receipts from all sources
were $29,S25, 25S, and the disburs-
ments were $40, 4OO,6S2, a net gain
Of nearly nineteen millions, out of
which amount about three and half
millions interest upon the public
debt must be paid, leaving the total
surplus for December nearly fifteen
millions and a half; during the
month the national debt was reduced
fifteen and a quarter millions, and
for the whole year it was decreased
a little more than one hundred and
seventeen million dollars-the larg-
est reductions being made in June
and November.
Many of the Congressman who Wis.,
tied their homes during the recess,
have returned, and others are daily
arriving-all looking with impa-
thence to the reassembling of Congress,
when the committees will be amounc-
I'd and the work of the session will
begin in earnest. 1t is understood
that Speaker Carlisle has finished his
most tedious and troublesome under
taking-that of making out his COM
mittee lists, and with his great
experience, it is confidently believed
that his work will be acceptable, al
though many members will be disap-
pointed at their assignments. Those
not familiar with the workings of
Congressional ambition cannot con-
ceive ofjealousies and chickering's of
aspiring statesmen in such matters.

Against the Blair Bill.
Washington Capital.

Washington Capital.
What do the advocates of the Blair
educational bill, which has been so
well described as "a bill to promote
mendicancy," hope to gain by push
ing it through Congress and sending
it to President Cleveland to be vetoed?
1t is certain that this measure can
never become a law, and ii is daily
becoming more plain that it ought not
to become law. All its supporters,
except the politicians, are gradually
forsaking it. There is no better an-
thoritylon the education of the South
ern blacks than General S. c. Arm
strong, of Hampton, Va, and he is
now squarely opposed tothis measure.
The New York Evening Post, which
has done a great deal Of good work
into defeating this wild, unconstitu-
tional raid on the U. S. Treasury, re-
turns to the subject in an article pub
lished yesterday. After citing many
facts to show that the Southern States
are providing ample educational fac
ilities for the colored children, the
Post says:
"The Blair bill was introduced in
December, 1881, upon the ground
that the South was so Impoverished
by the war; that it could not raise
any more money for schools than it
was then raising, and that Federal
aid ought to be granted for eight
years. Six of the eight years have
passed; the amount raised for schools
has been largely increased in every
State, and doubled or trebled in some,
while the man who should now talk
about the South being Impoverished
by the war; would provoke the de-
rision of every self-respecting South
erner. The rigorous test of time has
been applied to the plausible pleas
which were originally made for the
passage of this bill, and their fallacy
has been clearly exposed. The South
has shown herself able to overcome
the difficulties of the situation, and
her success is another tribute to
American self-reliance. The most
satisfactory feature of the matter is
the fact that the opposition which
has defeated the Bill to Promote
Mendicancy was largely the opposi-
ton of self-respecting Southern
men,"

Soldering Telegraph Wires.

A new and quick method of solder
ing telegraph wires has been invented
in Russia. The principal advantage
of it lies in the saving of time required
for the work, and also in the avoid.
ance of any ''scraping," which would,
to some extent, reduce the strength of
the wire. The process consists of dip
ping the two ends of the wire-already
embraced by binding wire-into a
vessel holding u considerable quantity
of melted solder upon the top of which
there is sufficient powdered sal-am
moniac to leave a thick layer of liquid
salt The ends of the wire pressed
into this vessel are quickly joined,
however dirty they may be. -Elec-
