Never say too much. Manners go a
great way, and delicate matters managed
with tact can be carried out without the
slightest blow to the sensitive feelings of
the parties concerned. It is not tact to
rush up to a person and say "How i'll you
are lookingr' Any one who is not feeling
well generally knows all about it, and does
not like to be reminded Of the fact. On
the contrary, in meeting anybody who is
looking particularly well or handsome,
then is the time to speak.
To be able to keep people in good humor
and never rub them the wrong way shows
a wonderful amount of tact, but how many
people there are who are always saying or
doing the wrong thing. Two old school
friends who had not seen each other for
years met again a short time ago, and al
most Immediately after the first words of
greeting had been exchanged the one ex-
claimed to the other "Why you look as
if you had been crying for years; your face
is so wrinkled.p
Now that remark, TO say the least, was
not t~actfal, and in a measure destroyed the
old feeling of affection which had existed
for so many years. People do not like to
be told disagreeable facts. AS the old
saying is, ''T7nth sometimes is brutal"
but even when an unpleasant truth must be
told, to use a little tact in the telling of it
will make the hurt less deep. Say and do
the pleasant things in this world whenever
possible, but if the disagreeables come to
She surface handle them as gently as posi-
bic to spare the feelings Of others.

The growth of ivy over a house, an
experimenter tells the Farming
World, renders the interior not damp, as is
generally supposed, but free from moisture,
the tiny roots extracting every particle of
moisture from wood, brick or stone for it's
own s%ustenance.

1t is said that the horses's stomach has a
capacity of only 1G quarts, while that of
the OK has a capacity for $50 quarts, but in
the intestines this is reversed somewhat,
the horse having a capacity for 100 quarts
and the OK 100. The horse, therefore,
feeds often and eats slowly, while the OK
stores up a large supply of food to be mas
ticated at leisure.

Small pictures should never be hung be-

best in narrow spaces between mouldings

bic IN line with the eye. A single subject
wildly portrayed may even be mounted

YES, dear Journal, we have been

little strange that the Aoppers to the
Republican party belong to the manu-
facturers and monopoly? VIM. l..
Hearn & Sons, David r. Brook, p. Fl.
Moore and the Horkheimer brothers
rightfully belong 10 the Republican
party, for the Republican party is
owned, body and soul, by such men.
Every one Of these men arc identified
with monopoly. Is there anything
strange about their flop after all ? The
Republican party has been protecting
them for the last twenty years, to the
detrimeut Of honest laborcrs. You
arc welcome 10 them
While the manufacturers and monop-
olists are topping to the Republican
party, thousands Of honest laboring
mon are Topping TO the Democratic
party. IL is battle Of honest labor
against monopoly. II will not take a
prophet TO guess the result. We have

ing men to degradation and starvation.
We would like to ask the editor Of
the Journal, if the rest Of the editors
are absent on an electionccring tour. if
he could't count the number Of mill
lionaires, on one hand, in this country
when the Republican party came into
power? At the present day how many
millionaires have we in this country?
The editor of the Journal may get up
on his pedal extremities and yell free
trade all he has a mind to, but the fact
remains that high protective tariff and
the Republican party has dotted our
country with millionaires. We want
the Journal to discuss these questions
fairly and squarely. We want no
lodging.

THE Eagle-Sentinel is very sore over
the nomination of that eloquent and
hsill;ant statnsn.an Hon IVilI;au, r.
wilson. The Democracy of the See
ond Congressional district have faith
In Mr.. Wilson. He has been weighed
in the balance and not found wanting
He has bat very few equals, if any,
and no peer in Congress. He is a
statesman and gentleman. He is
honest and capable. There is no stain
of jobbery or dishonesty on his record.
What more could we ask for? If he
was demagogue or one who catered
to monopoly it is likely the Eagle would
find words of commentator for him.
But as be is not, the Eagle can only
snarl at him. Possess your soul in
contentment, Brother Eagle; Hon. VIM.
l.. Wilson will be reelected to Con-
gress by an Increased majority. If
you have an idea he is not a statesman
and scholar, all you have to do is to
get your little Gen. Golf to meet him
in a joint debate on the tariff issue.
You will realize, probably, for the FIRST
time, what little man Gen. Golf is.

The novel of the season which is
calculated TO make everybody talk about
it is 1.-The Doctors Mistake" by
Charles Howard Montague and Glenn
ent Milton Hammond Mr.. Montague
Is we'll known as the author of 1.-TWO
Strokes of the Bell" and even more
widely as the "exposer" of Washing
ton Irving Bishop in the mind-reading
sensation of year ago. 1.-The Doc
tors Mistake" is weird and curious
story. There are but four characters
in 1t and they are whirled along to a
most unexpected climax in which the
soul of one passes into the body of the
other "'The heroine" says the New
York Sun, els one of the most unique
and hideous characters to be found in
fiction" The doctor, her guardian,
is a scientist with the theological views
of Robert G.. Ingersol and the hero is
a well-meaning man, strong ia the faith
of his ancestors. These are the two
whose personalities gets so strangely
mixed in the end. 1t is q question
whether the materialistic arguments
advanced by DR.. Lowenthal in the
course of the work are intended to be
overthrow wholly or in part by the
unexpected ending. And that is just
why discussion and argument follow in
its wake wherever read. 1t is certainly
startling enough and novel enough to
warrant a second reading. 1t is pub
lished by Thomas Downey, jr. & Co. /,
