This remark, addressed to little
johnny Grey. produced an effect not
intended by the speaker, for the
hungry child began to cry vigorously,
aided by his smaller sister. Fairy tales
proved soothing for awhile. but soon
these lost their charms. Then they all
ate a little snow and had a drink of hot
water, but such fare was far from
satisfactory to the children, though
Jack found his spirits suffi ciently
raised to enable him to take walk on
his hands, twisting his mobile face
meanwhile into frightful contortions
These proceedings amused Johnny
and his sister. but soon hunger over

ing against Dolly. who sat with an
arm around each.
"Half-past ten," said Miss Wilkes,
and as she spoke other voices rose
above the wind and the cracking
flames. Listen! o Jack, call to
them!''
Jack fairly yelled, and in a moment
Dolly's father and Jacks brother,
bound together with rope. rushed into
the hut.
..Who's here? Jack! Dolly!'

cried together.
The two men openly wiped theil

Triumphant Democracy Ready to Do q
the Bloody-ShIrt Macbeths.

Triumphant Democracy Ready to Do Up
the Bloody-Shirt Macbeths.
The Democratic Presidential cam.
paign is to cover twenty-five weeks
this year. The convention is to be held
June 5, which is two or three weeks
earlier than usual, and month earlier
that was at first intended.
In thus changing the programme SO
as to be first in the field the Democratic
managers acted wisely. 1t is by usage
incumbent upon the party in power
to make the first nomination. and it
would have seemed like lack of conf
dence if the Republicans had been al
lowed to move first. And it would not
have been wise. The Democracy, hav-
ing given the country the purest and
ablest Administration since the war, is
in a position to force the fighting.
Another thing. If the campaign Is
to be conducted upon the aggressive
lines which President Cleveland with
his usual courage has laid down, time
is needed for thorough discussion. to
clear away in the minds Of the people
the misrepresentation with which the
the Republican press and leaders will
seek to obscure the issue. The cam
paign in that event must be essenti-
ally an educating one for the masses of
the people, and for that long cam
paign is better than short one.
AS to the place in which the conven-
ton is to be held, there could not have
been better choice than st. Louis. 1t
is the most central city in the country.
1t is lucky city. too. for the Democ-
racy; for twelve years ago Tilden and
Hendricks were nominated there, and
they were triumphantly elected at the
polls, though afterwards deprived Of
their offices by bribery. perjury, for
gerry and open violations of the consti-
tuition.
The Democratic National Commit
tee has followed up well the good be-
ginning made by President Cleveland
Now for q bold, aggressive campaign
all along the line. Boston Globe.

home. Some landmarks were dis
cernible. and guided by them the lit
tie party finally reached their homes
That evening Jim told his younger
brother at length the story of the
search. He and three others had
started out at four o clock the previ-
Gus day. Darkness had overiaken
them near the school-house, but they
still kept up their search. until, ex-
hausted, they had found refuge in the
little low school-building At earliest
dawn they had started off again. Two
of the party had returned home,
bearing the little frozen child of one,
picked up dead at the edge of the
wood. Other searching parties were
still out. '.But. thank God, you are
safe. added Jim. and Jacks heart
spoke silent ..Amenr'-M r En-

Pills or Plaster.
In the old Grecian mythology J, piter
was king of the thunder. He welded
the lightnings of Heaven BIT the
modern scientist. without making any
vainglorious pretentions. is really get
ting supreme control of the vast pos
sibilities of electrical energy The
modest way in which man obtains
dominate over nature conceals even
from himself the marvellous powers
within his grasp. What can be more
astonishing than the humiliation of
time which comes by the use of the
telegraph. Suppose Aristotle or Plato
were told the day would come when u
message could be sent from one end
of the earth to another in a few Sec
onds of time; in other words. that
distance would be annihilated
in the communication of in
telligence The old Grecian
philosophers would have said that the
man was insane who would believe so
wild fable. But the latest marvel is
the ability to store up electric energy.
This makes electricity salable article
like pills or plaster The value OF
electricity in disease has long been
known. Hereafter it will be more
readily avail BILE, as the cells can be
charged and sold at retail at the
stores. Mr.. Woodruff. of Brooklyn,
daily removes supertiuous hair, birth
marks, moles, warts, tumors, abnor-
NAL growths and blemishes by cleo
trolysis. 1t will be valuable in cases
of spinal exhaustion and nervous de-
bility. 1t may create a revolution in
medicine when physicians re alize that
the surface of the body can
be medicated and that there is
no need of pouring nauseous drugs
down the throat. The difficulty with
electricity, heretofore, has been its i'm
mediate dissipation upon being pro-
duced; that is to say, there was no
way of saving it. Now it can be
stored like water in cistern, and can
be used in connection with lamps, car
ried in the hand and on railways to
generate a force to run cars without
using coal or causing smoke. Elec-
tricity may be used to split open
mountains. to sink mighty shafts into
the earth, to tear asunder icebergs
and perform labors that make the
marvels of the Arabian Nights seem
tame and commonplace. What a
wonderful era we are entering upon,
and how it makes one long to 60 to
sleep and revisit this earth after a
thousand years. by which time. per-
haps, man will have obtained supreme
control over all the forces of nature. -

TIE GREAT coNvENlioN.
Democracy to Take tho Iuitintlve In {
National Contest Of 1859.

Democracy to Take tho Initiative In tno
National Contest Of 1883.
The action of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee in selecting St.
Louis as the place and June 5 as the
date OF holding the Democratic Ma
tional Convention viii, we have no
doubt, be received with general satls-
faction by the party. As between
Chicago and st. Louis there was lit
tie to choose on grounds OF convenl-
ence to delegates. but the former was
given the convention four years ago,
and st. Louis had. on that account.
the stronger claim for the gathering
this year. The greatest OF the OBJ
jections, and q fatal one, to choosing
San Francisco, was the decided I'M
possibility that as ample and completes
reports of the proceedings OF the
great representative gathering could
be sent therefrom rs from any OF ITS
rivals for the convention. The differ
ence in time and great distance to be
travelled would be great obstacles to
the perfect work of reporting, to
which the people have been accus-
toned, and which they will expect, as
matter of course, when the conven-
ton is held. A splendid effort would.
no doubt, have been made to over
come these if the National Committee
had selected San Francisco, but it Is
better to avoid them when it is not
imperative that they be surmounted.
The date fixed is two weeks in ad.
vance of the Republican Convention.
This we regard as much preferable to
date two weeks later than that con-
vention, which was first agreed upon.
If we take the simple view that the
Democracy should proceed in its work
and plan its campaign in utter
unconcern of the movements of its
opponents, July 5, the date first
selected. is abundantly early, afford
ing all needed time for the prose-
cution of the campaign But the
Democracy is the dominant party of
the country, and the feeling among
the members of the party naturally is
that it should take the initiative in the
great national contest and proudly
| proclaiming its principles and naming
its candidates, proceed positively and
aggressively into the campaign. De-
ference to that feeling, which is an
outgrowth of conscious strength, re-
quired the choice of an earlier date
! than that named by the Republicans.
