WASHINGTON, Nov. Secretary
Blaine gave dinner to the delegates to
the International Marine Conference,
which was marked by a radical change
f'om the usual programme on such occa-

enjoyed, Secretary Blaine rose and said !:

and he grumbles at . great rate, end
never doubts that his lot is exceptionally
cruel.
He is willing to potter around at little
jobs that involve slight exertion, if they
do not come too often. He then loves to
expatiate on what he has done.
He will fish, if there is a stream con.
venient, preferring catfish to game fish.
He is the village Ioafer, and when habit
ually sober is not treated as . bad fellow
He is quite chatty, and sometimes comes
in handy to run an errand. though he
never runs. He is apt to like children,
and will try to obligs them in little
things. He is lopg-lived, and eats and

Politicians Should Marry,

In an interview with Col. c. M.
Woodcock, a Nashville American re-
porter asked if a politician ought to
marry.
"That is the very nrst thing he has
got to d." was the reply. "No man
can hope to fill one of the higher
Offices successfully without the aid of
a wife. Take John A. Logan, for in
stance He was one of these good
hearted, clever sort of fellows, hut he
didn't know everything. His wife
did. She was full of the social mag
netism that attracts. She was up on
every point of diplomacy. Her in
formation was thorough, broad and
at ready command. Logan's politi-
cal success was more his wife's doing
than his own. Harrison is the same
way. All that austerity of demeanor
which characterizes him in his official
relations wears off in his wife's pres
ence and he becomes the most genial
of men. Blaine is an exception. He
has the social attractiveness in him
self. Yes, sir, the young politician
must have wife. She will save him
from more expenses than when he
has only the expenses of one to pay,
and besides she will prove his best
political ally in thousand emerg-
encies.

Eat M06ArafAlY.

There are those who become alarm
ed at once if there is little failure in
the appetite and they fly to bitters
Or else to the doctors for the purpose
of restoring the appetite. Well-to-do
people generally eat too much. Ex-
cessive eating leads to safety. Then
comes loss of appetite for a time.
The real fact is, nature needs rest in
such cases. If one sensibly weakens
in consequence of loss of appetite, it
is we'll enough to take alarm and do
something, but unless loss of appe-
tite is followed with lassitude and
lack of ambition, there is no reason
to mistrust that anything is wrong.
A paragraph In the Scientific Amerj-
can not long ago showed how much
hard work could be accomplished
with comparatively small amount
of food. The Roman soldiers" it
says, "who built such wonderful
roads, and carried a weight of ar
NOR and luggage, that would crush
the average farm hand, lived on
coarse brown bread and sour wine.
They were temperate in diet and reg
ular and constant in exercise. The
Spanish peasant works every day and
dances half the night, yet eats only
his black bread, onion and water
melon. The Smyrna porter eats only
a little fruit and olives, yet he walks
off with his load OF a hundred pounds.
The coolie fed on rice is more active
and can endure more than the negro
fed on fat meat"

A Goose Story.

Recently a party of young men of
Brownsville, over the border line in
Schuylskill county, Pennsylvania,
while on a lark soaked some corn in
a pint of whisky which they couldn't
drink and scattered it among a
flock of geese that had wandered
from q farmhouse a short distance
away. The geese greedily devoured
the corn and then moved off again
toward the farmhouse. An hour
later the woman who owned them
found them in the yard in a comatose
state, and, believing them to have
been killed by poison at the hands of
some enemy, FASTENED to remove the
feathers from them. After plucking
them bare and deciding that they
could not be used fol- food under tile
circumstances, she flung the naked
carcasses down an enbankment near
by. During the night the luckless
birds slept off their drunk, and the
next morning tbs farmers wife was
astonished and chagrined to see
them all bundled together outside
the front gate in a rude and repent
ant condition; She set to work and
made coats for them out of cheap
hannel.-New York Sun.

A Frenchman's Graceful Reply:

A romantic story is told about
Nine. La Marechale Canrobert, whose
death was recently announced in
Paris. Twenty-six years ago the
Marshal, at that time in the height
of his glory, was at an official ball,
when a young lady approached and
said quite sharply, Monsieur, will
you dance with me?" The surprised
soldier begged off, in afew confused
words; then, turning to a young Off
GER beside him, he said, "Will you
kindly take my place beside the
young lady, and remember that this
night a marshal of France envies a
O sub-lieutenant?" However, the
matter did not rest here. for Miss
Flora Mcdonald, under the auspices
of Empress Eugene, with whom she
was a tavorite, subsequently became
the wife of the great general.

There are many accidents con-
stantly occurring among the little
people, for no matter how careful
older ones are to place dangerous
things out of reach, there's apt to be
a time of forgetting and then the
dire consequences. Now it is hot wa
ter, again the hatchet or a sharp
knife; possibly concentrated lye is
swallowed, or buttons or thimble
find their way into strange places in
baby's economy.
For scalds from hot water or stove,
there's nothing more apt to be handy
than baking soda; wet it up soft and
apply freely. II the burn is super
fetal or of slight extent, binding it
! up with this is all that will be necess-
airy. Iflye has been drunk it's sell
dom that vomiting does any good;
the amount is usually small. The
best treatment is sweet oil or even
melted lard if you haven't the oil, to
counteract the caustic effects of the
I've. The after Inflammation of
! stomach and bowels which sometimes
follows will need epecifice treatment
quite be 80 -.se powerof the lairy.
Usually when any foreign or poi
sonous matter has been swallowed
the first indication is to produce
emesis. If you have no syrup ipecac
in the house, add a little mustard
and salt to lukewarm water, and
make the child drink considerable.
i 1t is one of the promptest, easily OBJ
tanned emetics known.
When the injury is cut, the treat
ment will depend on locality. Ii the
hemorrhage is severe, an artery may
need tying, but until doctor can be
! secured, tie handkerchief, or some
! thing around the limb, above the
wound, and place the limb in an ele-
waited position.
For bee stings, probably the best
dressing is mud, as tits for most bites
or stings from insects.
Mud frequently removed is excel
lent dressing for snake and dog bites
after they have been properly bled
and cauterized.
Foreign substances in nose or ears,
of course, demand removing. But,
unless YOU are sure OF success, don't
attempt it yourself and by pushing
the obstacle out of reach make a bad
matter worse. Call in a surgeon at
once
If the not unusual accident of ga
bug in the ear" occurs, waste no
time trying to drag the offender out,
douse in sweet oil, salad dressing, or
molasses even, if you haven't the 9th
ers handy, anything to entangle and
quiet the intruder before it makes
the victim wild. 1t can then be
syringed out with warm water.

In the last volume of the "Educa-
ton Series" on "The Development of
the Intellect" Fl. w. Brown has pre-
sented conspectus ofthe observa-
tions OF Prof. Preyer on the mind of
the child, which chronologically the
gradual development of the senses,
intellect and will of the growing child
and presents in Ia condensed form the
result of a great number of careful
observations. 1t is recorded that
sensibility to light, touch, tempera-
ture, smell and taste are present on
the first day of infant life. Hear
ing, therefore, is the only special
sense which is not active at this time.
The child hears by the third or
fourth day. Taste and smell are
senses at first most active, but they
are not differentiated. General or
ganic sensations of well-being or dis
| comfort are felt from the first; but
pain and pleasure, as mental states,
are not noted until at or near the
/ second month.
The first sign of speech in the
shape of utterance of consonant
sounds is heard in the latter part OF
the second month, these consonants
being generally IN" ~" "g," 1T. y

month, and by this time the child be,

that is, he looks at his own hands
and looks at himself in the mirror,
The study ofthe childs mind during
the first year shows conclusively
that ideas develop and reasoning
processes occur before there is any
knowledge of words or of language

child thinks in symbols, visual OIL

year the child begins to express it.
self by sounds-that is, speech be,

speech capacity is, according to
Preyer, in accordance with the de-
velopment of the intellectual powers
By the end of the second year the
child's power of speech is practically
acquired.

Housekeeping of the Future,

From the Forum.
In cities and villages the kitchen
and cooking stove and the hired girl
are all to be banished from the home.
Clothesrnaking, soapmaking, starch
making, laundry work, coffee
browning yeastmaking, butter-mak-
ing-all are gone. Send after them
or rather say that organized indus
try is already taking along with
these-the remaining work of cook
ing and cleaning. This state OF
things is coming as sure as fate; and
when it comes the deliverance will be
so great that generations yet I'M
born shall rise up to bless the work
ings of this benefcent law.
The city of the future will not
build houses in squares, giving to
every house an individual kitchen
and prisonlike backyard. It will
rather build them all around an
open square, and the part now dis
figured with the kitchen will be given
over Tor household sitting-room or
nursery, opening into O great green
space, where children shall play in
safety, and through which the free
air of heaven shall blow into the
houses surrounding it. In every
square will be found u scientifically
constructed building, containing a
laundry and agreat kitchen, supplied
with every modern appliance for
skilled and scientific cookery, and
also for sending into every dining
room any desired quantity or variety
of food. The individuality of the
home and the home table will be
preserved, and the kitchen smells, and
waste, and "hired girl" will all be
banished.

HOW they Catch Fish in Georgia,

Recently it was our pleasure to go

caught the "new way" From four
to six men go into the water with a
log in front of them, and a sheet
with one edge on the log and the
other edge held up by the men SO
tn at the fish can't jump over, but
fall on the sheet. The log is pushed
along to the land, and when near it
the fish begin to try to make their
escape back to the deep water by
jumping. If they fail to make good
leap they lodge on the cloth, Thereby
becoming victims OF their own de-
struction. 1t is amusing to see how
they jump. 1t is supposed that
about three hundred pounds were
caught-Abbeville Is. c. Times.

Novel AntidOte.

In these days of the prevalent
abuse of tobacco it is well to know
that many habitual tobacco users
have been cured by the following
plan: Those who smoke their first
cigarette, say, at 7 O'Clock in the
morning, begin putting it off just ten
minutes past the hour for few days,
then make it fifteen or twenty min
utes, andso on until it will be noon
and then night before the first one is
smoked. 1t is slow but sure way
of tapering off if faithfully followed,
and can be applied by the abusers OF
stimulanUs as well as of tobacco

lnow some owners who break up the

that the men, unless willing to act

in the same time; but these are rare
exceptions, and as rule the fault
is with the men themselves. IT can

planets aud nebu1a studied in most
favorable conditions. Then there is
it's utility from a military point OF
view. In the event of another seige
of Paris, see how important this
tower would be. Communications
could be kept up by means of optic
telegraphy for q great distance
around Paris; for from the summit
you have a magnificent panorama
extending from 12O to 100 kilome-
tres. Paris by night, decorated and
Illuminated as it has been during the
Exhibition, is a sight which before
was only within the reach of aero
nauts. In fact, the tower is the chief
attraction of the Exhibition. In our
construction of the tower we have
calculated on the force of wind. We
have calculated that the tower will
normally withstand wind pressure
Of three hundred kilogrammes per
square metre, which amounts to
a total pressure of 2,25O,OOO
kilogrammes. We have made
this calculation on the most
taVOra Die hypothesis possible. we
have reckoned the trellis work as full
walls and made other allowances.
And, as the strongest tempests
known in Paris have never been be-
yond pressure ofone hundred and
fifty kilos per square metre, the tower
is perfectly secure. Should a wind
bearing a force ofthree hundred kilos
arise little would be left standing in
Paris except the tower"
He will run the tower during the
Exposition and for twenty years
afterwards, at the end of which time
it will become the property of the
city. The tower cost million dol
lars, ofwhich the French Government
paid about three hundred thousand.

nj. ElTFEL,

Builder Of the Highest Structure In the World.
The Washington Monument is 555
feet high, and has no rival in stature
at present, but the Parisians are
priding themselves on the fact that
they have, standing on the Camp de
Mars, an iron tower one thousand
feet high.
Naturally enough, NJ. Eifel, the
eminent French engineer, who built
the tower, but who is better known
to fame on this continent as the
man who invented the system of
iron locks for the Panama Canal,
is proud of his tall enterprise.
Speaking of it lately, he said
with enthusiasm: Consider it's i'm
portance from a meteorological point
of view. 1t is not every day that
meteorologists can get up thou
sand teet above the soil. This tower
will enable them to study the decrease
of temperature at different heights,
to observe the variations of the
winds, find out the quantity of rain
that falls at different heights and the
density of the clouds. Indeed, in all
that relates to temperature, hygro-
metry, air currents and the cOmpO-
sition of the air, the tower will afford
opportunities for study and research
many of which have hitherto been
impossible. 1t will be equally useful
to astronomers. Here expert
ences with the spectroscope
can be carried on with great
facility; the laws of refraction
and the physical aspect of the room,
