Politicians Should Marry,

In an interview with Col. c. NJ.
Woodcock, Nashville American re-
porter asked if q politician ought to
marry.
"That is the very first thing he has
gotto 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 i'm
stance. He was one of these good
hearted, clever sort of fellows, hut he
didn't know everything. His wife
did. She was tull 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 c~haracterizes 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 q 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 q thousand emerg-
encies.

Emereoncy Remedies.

There are many accidents CON

For scalds from hot water or stove,
there's nothing more aptto be handy
than baking soda; wet it up soft and

make the child drink considerable.
It is one of the promptest, easily OBJ

When the injury is a cut, the treat
ment will depend on locality. Il the
hemorrhage is severe, an artery may
need tying, but until a doctor can be-
secured, tie a handkerchief, or some
thing around the limb, above the
wound, and place the limb in an eles

For bee stings, probably the best
dressing is mud, as it is for most bites

during that period. the growth Of popula-
ton, the excess of The increase of enroll
ment over the increase in population, six to
fourteen years Of age, being 1.6 per cent
This gain, the commissioner says, is due en-
tirely to the progress of the public schools
in the two Southern sections, and more es-
pecially in the South Central division. Here
the increase of enrolment shows an excess
over the increase Of population probably
never before paralleled in a country
so long settled. The sentiment in
favor of free schools supported bv public
funds, he says. is becoming each year
more universally prevalent. The public
school system of the Southern states has
been undergoing an unprecedented develop
ment under law adapted in each casa to
local circumstances. and are now practically
all established on a permanent basis. Col
ored children are apportioned an equal share
of he school fund. unless in the
State of Delaware, M there schools are
kept open as long and under as well paid
teachers as those of the white children. The
funds for the support of these schools are
furnished n:ainly by white inhabitants, and
sfser making due allowance for all the sums
that have been furnished for the education
of the negroes through private sources Of
