Governor Rusk, of Wisconsin,, is
among those prominently mentioned for
the Republican presidential nomination.
The boom, which had local limitations
six months ago, seemed to have grown
strong enough to attract good deal of
attention outside of his state. Governor
Rusk has good war record, and his Wig

him an admirable peace record as well.

Was America Ever Discovered e?

At the time when Columbus star
ted in search Of the New World
nearly every man, woman, and
child in Europe insisted that there
was no New World to discover.
When he came back, crowned with
success, a large proportion of these
good people adherd to their theory,
and if they were alive to day many
of them would doubtless insist that
America had never been discovered
at all. A man will give up anything
in the world more readily than a
pet theory. For example, look at
the individuals who still maintain
that consumption is incurable. DIR.
Pitrces Golden Medical Discovery
has cured thousands upon thous-
ands of cases, and will cure thous-
auds more, but these people can't
give up their point. Nevertheless
the discovery" will cure any case

Draw and Brain !

Draw and Brain
The wonderful engine, with its
wonderful propolling power, coupl-
ed to the long train full freighted
with the richest fabrics of the in
tsllectual looms of the centuries
what obstacles can stay the progress
of this mighty force, when once UNI
der full steam along life's highway ?
The American with Drawn and
brain does not see the necessity for
titles of nobility, does not care for
elevation by descent, he can reach
out and pluck the stars.
But with Draw or brain impaired,
a man is badly handicapped in the
mad race for success which is the
marked characteristic of the present
age.
The physical system is a most in
tricate piece of machinery. 1t ought
to be kept well regulated, so that it
will work harmonously in all its
parts, then it is capable of an inn
mense amount of work.
1t is said that a watch, if expected
to keep perfect time, must be wound
daily. 1t will not keep good time
unless it "runs regular" More men
break down because they don't
run regular" than for any other
reason.
1t is claimed by physicians that
few men are killed by hard work. II
is to the irregularities of modern So
cial life that the high death rate is
due. Men burn their candle at both
ends, then wonder why it burns out
so quickly.
The main thing in keeping the
human machine in good working
order is to keep the regulator all
right, "The blood if the life," and
sound health is assured so long as
the blood flows through the veins q
limpid stream of purity.
Regulate the regulator with War
ner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, the old
fashioned blood purifier, prepared
after the best formula in use by oul
ancestors in good old Log Cabin
days, and with the vigor of brawr
and brain which must ensue, il
your life's lexicon you will find nc
such word as fail.

ADVICE TO WIVES.

1t is true that husbands require
advice perhaps even more than
wives, and that it requires two to
make happy home, but it would
be absurd to address husbands in a
book written for girls and women.
To you, then, Mrs. Wife, and not to
your husband, l direct these re-
marks.
And first be as kind and as cour-
teous to your husband as you were
when he was your lover. Then you
used to look up to him do not now
look down upon him.
Remember that you are married
to man and not to a god be pre-
pared for imperfections.
Once in a while let your husband
have the last word it will crafty
him and be no particular loss to
you.
Let him know more than you do
once in awhile it keeps up his self
respect and you are none the worse
for admitting that you are not ac-
tually Invaluable.
Read something in the papers be-
sides fashion notes and and society
columns; have some knowledge of
what is going on in foreign coun-
tries.
Be companion to your husband
if he is a wise man and if he is not
try to make him become your COM
panion. Raise his standard, do not
let him lower yours.
Even ifyour husband have no
heart he is sure to have his stomach
so be careful to lubricate the mar
riage yoke with well-cooked dinners
Don't be always teasing him fol
money, and keep the household ex,
penses well within your allowance
Respect your husbands relations
especially his mother-she is nont
the less his mother because she il
your mother-in-law she loved hin
before you did.

There is a large class of people
who crave sympathy for its own
sake as a sort of indulgence which
they think they must have, at what
ever cost to others. They are never
content unless some one is condoling
with them, and the more sympa-
thetic pain they can induce their
friends and neighbors to feel the
better satisfied they are. So sweet
a morsel do they find this to be that
they treasure every ailment so as to
recount it, they dwell upon their
disappointments, their trials, and
their woes, cherishing the memory
of them to pour them into the ears
of every willing listener, and to COM
pei him to feel some OF the suffering
which they so diffusely portray as
their own. OF course this process
leads insensibly to great exaggera-
ton; and certainly nothing could
injure the cause of true sympathy
more than such fraudulent and mean
attempts to obtain it.

LITERARY NOTICES.

The autumn issue of Strawbridge
d Clothier's Quarterly, just received
from the publishers, is fully up to
its established high grade of excel
lence, as magazine for ladies. A
unique feature of the present issue
is the opening article on the Bayeux
Tapestry, one of the most curious
andinteresting relics of bygone times.
The original of this tapestry, now at
Bayeux, France, is believed to have
been wrought by the ladies of the
court of William the Conqueror, I'M
der the supervision of his wife Ma
tilda. If so, then this colossal piece
of needle is fully 800 years old
Accompanying an account of the Ia
pestry are strips ofreproduction from
the fac-simile, now on exhibition at
Memorial Hall, Paramount Park,
Philadelphia. The fashion gossip
will not be wearisome to the la
dies, although we notice that many
pages are given to that cngrossing
subject. A separate article on chill
dren's fashions indicates that the
question Of what the children shall
wear, is becoming Of nearly the same
importance as the clothing of the
young ladies Of the house. A pro.
fusely illustrated article on the art
Of cameo cutting, should make that
fascinating subject popular among
ladies who have any talent for work
Of that kind. In the midst of these
matters of fashion and art and do
nestle economy, occurs Robert Dow
ling's short story, entitled, "The Tol
of Charon." This is an excellent,
well written story of the aspiration
and struggles of a young girl, who i
impelled to devote herself to music

IAN Animals Paradise.

In Japan the greatest gentleness is
shown to horses and cattle. Cattle
are used as beasts of burden and
for agricultural purposes more than
horses. When it is easier to reach
their field by water than by path
way, the little black bullock or COW
is taken there by boat. In the even
ing it is amusing to see one Of
these animals, on being unyoked
from tn pillow quietly walk straight
down to the boat lying in the water
at the foot of the valley. fits mas
ter is rather late in following, it is
sure to look anxiously up the valley
and low, as much as to say, "Are
you comm =? l want to get home"
The pillow used is most primitive
and suall, but quite sufficient for the
purpose required, which it generally
to turn over the wet, muddy soil in
the rice fields. This instrument is
carried down to the boat on the far
mer's shoulders, who on his arrival
holds the boat study, and tells the
wise little animal to get in, but until
it has been ordered to do so it never
stirs.
When once in the boat the crea-
ture stands perfectly still, and in
this way sculled home, often a co.,
siderable distance. The understand
ing between man and beast is very
clear, and very pleasant to see.
