shoemakine Conducive to Mental vieor,

Shoemaking is distinguished among me- chanical callings for the number of it's fol- lowers who have risen to eminepce. It is said that the solitary nature of the craft tends to produce thoughtfulness, and the hammering at the leather stimulates the mental faculties. But the physical results are disastrous. Circulation and respiration are checked by the position which shoemak- CTS assume when at work In the few who live to old age hollow at the base of the breast bone is often produced by the contin- ual pressure of the last. Statistics show that out of 10000 artisans who sit at their labor 2577 fall sick and 95 die annually, while o1 an equal number who alternately sit and stand only 1,713 sicken and 61 die in the same period A work bench has been invented at which shoemakers may work standing Philadelphia Times

UP to the present writing the members of the Democratic national committee as- sembled at Washington have not been able to fix the place for the holding of the na- tional convention. San Francisco, Chica- go and St Louis are each working hard for the honor, with the chances, we think, in favor of the latter. The Frisco men have a strong backing, but when it comes to a pinch it is quite likely that the Chicago and St Louis supporters will combine. San Francisco is too far vest
 LATER.-The news has just been receiv- ed that St Louis has been selected as the place for the convention.

MRS AMMoN of Cleveland, who was com mitted to jail January 12, for contempt of court in refusing to answer question re- lative to the whereabouts of a missing heiress, was released yesterday afternoon on $1 ,000 bail. Good for her, and may her tribe increase. A woman who can hold her tongue for six weeks at the loss of her personal liberty is an object of ad- miration. The names of Mrs Ammon and Becky Jones, the two martys to principle, will go down to history.

CHARLES Dudley Warner. one of Hart ford s literary lights, goes out of his way to tell the Indianapolis Journal that Con- necticut is Republican, but not very large ly so. It needs the issue and the men to bring out the full vote, he says, but thinks that this year a Republican majority in this state is assured if the ticket is headed by some other leader than James G.. Blaine. MT Warrer is recognized as au- thority on pretty much every subject, but in this presidential question he is evident ly prejudiced. and expresses rather his hopes than his opinion.

The volcano is an agency of which
we in North America have little ex.
perience, but it plays conspicuous
part in many other parts of the world.
1t is a deceitful physical force, sluni.
bering for centuries and then break
ing out at once and working death
and damage on great scale. In its
long period Of repose human life
creeps up the peaceful mountain in
which the giant sleeps, cities are built
at Its feet and generations are born
and die under its shadow. Then
some fine morning the giant wakes
and burles the work and life of ages.
In this way Pompeii was buried, A.

world for 1900 years. The volcano
which has just wrought such fearful
havoc in Japan seems to have played
the same trick as its greater prototype
and made of several Japanese towns,

A dispatch from St. Paul. Mimi,
states that during storm on the
night OF the ed instant valuable
horse belonging to Gov. McGill was
killed by lightning while the Governor
himself narrowly escaped death from
the same flash. Accompanied by
Mrs. McGlll the Governor had just re-.
turned from ride, and had unhar-
messed his team and left them stand
ing by the door inside the barn while
he arranged their bedding. His
daughter, aged about thirteen years,
who had been holding lantern for
her father, started up stairs to throw
some hay when the flash came. The
Governor said it seemed like sharp
explosion. He heard the horse fall,
but was so dazed himself that he
scarcely realized what had happened.
AS soon as he could speak he called
to his daughter, and she res
ponded that she was safe,
though the lantern had been
knocked from her hand and
the light extinguished. Gov. McGill
has hardly recovered vet from the eff
fects of the shock.
