William Walter Phelps appears to be a
little disappointed because he failed to get
the nomination for vice president at Chi
cago. He does not seem at all confident
that the republicans will carry New Jersey.
He says that they might carry it if it was
not for Gen. Fiske, the prohibition candi-
date, and he thinks Fiske ought to be
ashamed of himself, because he used to be
good republican. Perhaps Fiske is much
more ashamed of having been a republican
than he is Of being prohibitionist.

"rhe Land of Little People"

"Phe Land of Little People"
Yes; the land of little people is a loveler land
than ours.
With its mine Of new-found treasures, messy
glades and fairy bowers:
Earth her robe of choicest beauty spreads to
WOO the tender feet,
And the angels whispering round them thrill
the air with accents sweet
Memory brings no pang Of sorrow, troubles
lightly pass away,
Hopes horizon is tomorrow, and the sun is
br ght to-day;
Every moment has its blessing, sweeter
thoughts and fairer flowers
Yes; the land of little people is lovelier land
than ours,
But from DER the silent river comes to lis n
purer glow
Purer even than the sunbeams that the little
people know;
And the love-song Of the heavens steals upon
the wearied ear,
Sweeter than the angels whispers that the
little people hear,
And the wanderer, overstrven, humbled as a
little child,
Knows the past is all forgiven, and his God is
reconciled,
When around his faltering footsteps comes the
blessing of the dove,
From the fairest world Of any, from the home
Of peace and love.

will be called upon to pay Sll5, 900, 600 of
other bonds of the same character Mr..
Morton is the republican candidate for wee
president, and if the republicans should be
victorious the influences of the government
might be used to compel North Carolina to

the chances are that thu republicans of
North Carolina will hardly be wildly enthu-
siastic in support Of the republican ticket.

"THB FROZEN PIRATE"
els 1t a Biography of Ben Harrison ?"
Queried Senator Sherman.
From the New York World.


WAsHINGToN July 3.-Senator Sherman left
this city to-day for Cincinnati, where he will
spend few days before proceeding to his home
in Mansfield. He will return to Washington
about July IS. A fellow-senator tells the fol
lowing story on the disappointed presidential
candidate from Ohio:
Senators Sherman and Hoar probably read
more novels than any other two senators in the
chamber. Whenever one finishes particularly
clever story, he invariably passes it over to his
colleague to peruse They have an excellent
opinion of each others judgment in the selec-
ton of reading matter, and whenever one of
them opens book in the senate, the other will
cross over to his seat to glance at the title.
Yesterday afternoon Senator Hoar sat in his
chair, deeply engrossed in a paper-coyered
novel. sherman passed down the aisle, and
paused to ask:
What are you readingf'
Without looking up, Senator Hoar replied:
lone of Clark Russells sea tales-a good
story for warm weather-'The Frozen Pirate "
With a sarcastic smile, Senator Sherman in
quired:
is it a biography of Ben Harrson?"

ther attention will be required. Just
before frost the vine may be taken up
with all the earth that can be kept ad-
herring to the root, and transferred to
the cellar, where all the full grown to-
matoes not already picked will ripen.
The essayist has seen perfect ripe to-
matoes of most excellent quality oD
the table at Thanksgiving, which had
been ripening in this way. There are
so many good varieties of this vegeta-
BILE that it is hard to make selection.
Three or four dozen plants may be re-
quired in order to furnish good sup
ply all summer; they should be set
eight feet apart.

Obedience.

A little boy who had been forbidden
to throw stones, was one day found
doing it. When called to account by
his mother, he said:
II didn't throw them, mamma; I
was only tossing them"
Being told that he was neither to
throw nor toss stones. he was over
heard to mutter, as he walked slowly
away:
"WeIl, I don't care; I've got jerk
left yet"
Was that boys obedience of the
right sort? Would any business man
want clerk or assistant who obeyed
his directions in such a way? Was it
in that way the Lord Jesus obeyed His
parents when He was a boy here on
earth, and does that sort of obedience
please Him now, do you think?

The Old Fashioned Way OF Impress.
ing Moral Lessons.

A generation or two ago plain Amer
lean fathers and mothers did not enter
tain the fanciful idea the State should
take charge of every body's education,
morals and habits. They believed
that it was their duty to keep an eye
on their boys, and in cases of misbe-
havior they resorted without compunc-
ton to a tough hickory or barrel
stave. Thirty or forty years ago, if
Georgia father had been told that his
sixteen-year old boy was in danger OF
having a contested brain from the
smoking of cigarettes, he would have
rushed the youugster out into the
back yard and sailed into him with O
stick. In those days people didn't ap-
peal to societies or W0man's Chris
tian Temperance Union or the legisla-
ture when their boys went wrong.
They simply made a family affairs of
it and Strengthened it out satisfactorily
The other day we said that there
could be no great improvement in
morals until we restored the thorough
and efficient system of family educa-
ton and government which formerly
prevailed. What we said applies di-
rectly to this cigarette evil. If boys
are to be allowed to be their own mas
ters, choose their companions and dis
pose of their time, we may rest assur-
ed that the majority will pick up
many vices that will injure them in
the future. Do you want your boy to
grow up pure, honest, sober and indus
trious? Begin your work on him at
home, and Keep at it. Good laws and
good schools can never take the place
of the old fashioned family training.
We cannot afford to have lot of to-
bacco hearts and congested brains
pushed into society and business cir
cles. The great problems and gigantic
concerns Of this age demands men
who enjoy the largest measure of phys
ical and mental health. We must
have them at any cost. If they cannot
be produced under our present system,
let us 60 back in some degree to the
sense simplicity of our ia
thers. 1t will not hurt the youngsters,
it will he their salvation in more ways
than one.

Morality in Little Things.

A railway conductor, passing
through his train, recently remarked,
"If all were like that gentleman yon-
der, I would have far less trouble in
my work. Every day, almost every
hour, some one tries to ride on my
train without paying for it," The
gentleman to whom he referred was
uncertain as to the value of an excur-
sion ticket, thinking the time for U.S.
ing it under the regulations of the cor
poration had possibly gone by. He,
therefore, submitted the ticket to the
conductor, calling his special attention
to it, and expressing desire to fulfill
the exact conditions under which he
had purchased it. He not only wish
ed to relieve a faithful employee OF
possible embarrassment in his report
to the company, but also to be strictly
honest, doing every thing openly.
This incident points moral. IL IS
wrong to allege that corporations de-
fraud, and, therefore, they may be in
nocently defrauded. The moral sense
of an individual ought not to be stulti-
fled by any known wrong, however
trifiing it may seem, or however sue
cessfuIly concealed from view. We
are not sure but that here is just cause
for close self-eXaminatiOn by many q
one, who fancies himself occupying
secure moral standing. Christian
morals have to do with fundamental
truth; with the smallest, as well as
the greatest volitions. And the way
to reach integrity of character Is not
so much 10 regard the conspicuous acts
of fidelity to the right, as to be sure
that we are really true in reference to
those innumerable matters which
make up our daily life. 1t is well to
cultivate tender conscience in every
thing; well for the individual HIM
self; well for his influence over others.
In the end of life, it shall be we'll with
them. Peace will adjust tho pillow in
life's latest hour of that man who act
ed in all things with conscientious
regard to even-handed justice toward
others, with a strict sense of duty to
his God.

Burglars and ChlOr0fOrm.

A correspondent asks this question,
and were we to answer from our gem
eral knowledge obtained from reading
the newspaper accounts of burglaries
and robberies committed while the in
mates of the house are fast asleep, or
base our opinion on the very uncertain
knowledge derived from reading nov
els, we should answer in the atfirma-
tive. Our knowledge of the character
istics of chloroform and its physiologi-
cal action on the human system, how
ever, make us answer decidedly In the
negative. This is probablya question
about which it would be difficult TO
convince the public, but facts are very
stubborn things. Careful inquiries
among the detectives and police au-
thorities have failed to show one sim
gle instance where these officials, after
careful examinations, have become
personally convinced that persons rob-
bed have been chloroformed. All have
heard of such cases, but not one has
come within their own knowledge.
Having so far convinced ourselves that
these eases do not occur, we will look
little further and try to prove that
chloroforming a person while asleep is
impossible for sound physiological rea-
sons. Chloroform, as all physicians
know is decided cerebral stimulant;
that is, it is really concentrated alco--
hol, administered by inhalation, and
produces intoxication. All physicians
who have ever administered chloro-
form to patient know what resistance
they encountered. Any sleeping
adult not under the influence of pow
erful hypnotic would certainly be
awakened if an attempt were made to
make him inhale ch1oroform. Be.
sides all this we are always told that
the persons who were chlorotormod
and robbed recovered. Every physl-
clan knows that unless chloroform is
carefully administered with proper
\ uixture of atmospheric air, the pa
tierit dies. Now why should a subject
in the hands of an ignorant burglar,
inhaling chloroform, have better
chance of recovery than patient in
the experienced hands of several skill
ed and trained physicians who have
previously examined the actions OF bis
heart, who cautiously watch his pulse
and closely adjust the amount and
quality of the chloroform and atmos-
pheric air administered. And yet we
hear constantly of death by the ad-
ministration of chloroform by physi-
clans hands but never death when
given by thieves. Further than
this, we are told that burglars can ad-
minister chloroform to several persons
sleeping in the same room and produce
anathesia. Of course it would be
sheer nonsense to talk of burglars i'm
pregnating the entire atmosphere Of
an apartment with chloroform, for that
would necessitate many hours labor
with an atomizer, supply Of more
chloroform than burglars would carry,
and would leave the air irrespirable by
the thieves. These statements, which
any physician will confirm, we think,
prove clearly that chlorofoming by
burglars is popular myth.

Give the Horses Time to Eat.

When spring work begins, there is
such hurry that the temptation is
great to get the horses to the field as
soon as they have swallowed their
grain ration and a few mouthfuls OF
hay. Nothing is gained by so doing.
It is when the horses are first put to
hard work-seyere exercise takes from
the digestive organs the energy needed
for the digestion of large quantities OF
food-and put on full feed, that indi-
gestion most often begins. And indi-
gestion at this time means loss of ap-
polite, collie, rough hide, loss of flesh
and weakness later on. If the horses
are given their grain, mixed with clo-
yer, cut, and all moistened, and are al
lowed time to eat it, and half an
hour afterward for rest and digestion,
they will work enough, faster and
harder to make up the time, will not
suffer from indigestion, and will keep
in good condition. The horse should
be given full ninety minutes for its
MONDAY meal. 1t needs this time for
both rest and digestion ; and in the
end time is gained by giving it the
ninety minutes. If the horse has been
at very severe work, it is we'll to let it
rest fifteen minutes before giving it
any food. The stomach is in no condi-
ton to receive food Immediately after
severe exertion. 1t must be borne in
mind that what is severe labor to the
horse, the first two weeks at the plow
or harrow, will not be SO later. At the
begin ming, its muscles are soft, and la
Dor is more severe upon it than may
be supposed. Observance of this and
care in watering and feeding, with
time given it to eat and partly digest
its food before being put to work, will
avoid the use of condition" powders
and other nostrums, and are much bet
ter generally.
