Hill and " hitney,

1t seems to be understood that Gov. Hill
is working earnestly for the democratic
presidential nomination in 1892 He is
popular in New York and has great many
strong friends on side of that state When
he was in Washington few DAYS ago the
democratic leaders in congress showed him
considerable attention. 1t NAV be that he is
the coming democratic leader, but there
is another citizen of NewYork of whom the
democratic party is beginning to think in
connection with the presidency, and who,
il Gov. Hui is not very watchful will dis
lance him the race for the democratic nomi-
nation in 1892.
Secretary Whitney's popularity is not
confined to New Y ork. His admirable admin
istration of the navy has directed the at
tention Of the people in all parts Of the
country to him. He may not have presi-
dental aspirations, and may give no further
attention to politics after his connection
with the navy department ceases, but if he
still continues to take a prominent part in
politics and makes an effort for the nomira
ton of his party in 1892, it is quite safe to
say that he will not be the least promising
candidate before the nominating conven-
ton.
Mr.. Whitney is a comparatively young
man. He will be in the prime of manhood
four years hence. He is not a politician who
bothers with ward politics. The honors he
b as received have come to him almost I'M
sought. He is very rich, makes friends
easily and retains them, and has the ability
to fiji any office in the gift of the people. 1t
is not Improbable that he will be elected
governor of New York in 1890 If he
should be the chances are that he would be
the choice of the democracy Of that state for
President in 1902

deal on the ages of the writer's For in

wealthy ,aristocratic aud witty husband and
she will announce that no other kind need

of the same kind. but she will not limit the
applicants TO that class; the young lady Of

Laughter as a Health Promoter.

In his Problem of Health" DIR.
Greene says that there is not the re-
hottest corner or little inlet of the mi
mute blood vessels of the human body
that does not feel some wavelet from
the commissions occasioned by good
hearty laughter. The life principle, or
the central man, is shaken to its inner
most depths, sending new tides of life
and strength to the surface, thus mate
rally tending to insure good health to
the persons who indulge therein. The
blood moves more rapidly and conveys
different impression to all the organs
of the body, as it visits them on that
particular mystic journey when the
man is laughing. from what it does at
other times. For this reason every
good hearty laugh in which a person

Valuable CrOn.

A western man, proud of his i'm
mensely productive acres, was show
ing visitor from Vermont over his
farm, and, while Boosting somewhat
loudly of his own crops, turned upon
the Vermonter with the question:
''YOu can't raise much back there
on those stony Vermont hills. can
you2"
''Oh., yes, yes; we generally get fine
crops"
But you don't raise much grain,
do you2"
oh, yes; we raise a sight of barley"
"You do2"
why, certainly / don't know what
our farmers would do if it wasn't for
their barley"
DO you get much for it2'
'Oh, we don't sell it, no, sir; we
don't sell grain of it.
"You don't feed it to your stock2"
"Oh no, no; you don't ketch US
wasting barley like that"
Well, what do you with it then9"
why, man. we save every grain of
it for seed-that's what we do with it Il

Was 1t a Vision?

to see what progress was being made.

upstairs his attention was attracted to

he D.. saw funeral procession passing
from the door and out through the
gate. The casket was small, white
and covered with flowers. He recog-
nlzed friends and neighbors in the
crowd, and through some indefnable
impression, he understood that the
corpse was that of his son. His son.

Horses Look Gawky in Pictures.

instantaneous photography is a
nuisance" said an artist, whose bust
ness is to draw cuts for the magazines
and newspapers. Before they began
to take those blamed photographs all
you had to do was to draw a horse SO
that it looked natural and lifelike, and
the papers and public were satisfied.
Now, though, since that Philadelphia
fellow printed his book, and especially
since The Sun reprinted the cuts from
it, nothing will do but that we must
draw running horses just as they are,
and not as they look. Of course the
pictures don't look nearly so pretty,
and the horses are as awkward and
unnatural as donkeys. but they are
accurate, and that is the craze just
now. We have had to learn our ami
NAL drawing all over again, and have
to puzzle our brains by the hour over
cuts OF instantaneous photographs,
trying to find some position that has
at least bit of grace and life in it.
For my part, | think it is ridiculous.
Compare the magazine pictures of
horses a year or two ago with those
Scribner's had last month and tell me
if you don't think the old ones gave
better idea of the beauty of the ami
mails in motion. Imagine Rosa Bon
hours horses with their fore feet stuck
out straight like ramrods, or think of
Messoniers' troopers charging before
Napoleon on horses that had all four
legs doubled up under them at the
same timer
Whatever may be the opinion as to
the business of the artists criticisms
and complaints, there is no doubt that
he is right on his facts. The horse
pictures in the magazines nowadays
nearly all show at least an effort to
make the positions correspond with
those shown by instantaneous photo
graphs. The picture horse of the past
is re!egated to the circus poster and
the bills of the racing associations

DANGER EVERY WHERE.
Eternal Vigilance the Price of Life, Health
and Happiness.

and Happiness.
Danger is made to surround every
thing nowadays. The germ theory has
peopled space. air, water and food with
micro-organisms that threaten death
or disease on every hand. If person
were weighed down with a sense OF
these dangers, as he might we'll be if
he gave full heed to the warnings OF
physicians, he might we'll exclaim,
''Oh! me miserablei whittier shall
hy" And he could hardly fly to a
place where the microscopic germs of
death would not be present with some
warning physician.
We go to bed and behold! there is
death in the pillow. A medical journal
bids us take note of the fact that dis
ease and death Turk in the very pill
lows and holsters on which we lay our
heads. Whether this is so or not, the
moral that is drawn from it is good,
and that is. bedding ought to be
opened periodically, so that its con-
tents may bebeaten with sticks" In
France bed cleansing is followed as a
regular trade.
Then again, the hiring of clothes is
dangerous. In cities it has become an
everyday matter to hire wearing ap-
parel. particularly dress suits, and
these suits are worn by men of all
sorts, of all associations, and possibly
by men who have some infectious dis
ease. If the wearer has not such
disease, the clothing may be worn in a
place or among people where disease
germs will be taken away in the meshes
of the cloth. Costumes for masquerades
and theatricals are worse yet, for they
are more especially worn by the lowest
as well as by the highest, by the vicious
and depraved as we'll as by the decent
and respectable; and these costumes
are rarely or never washed and are
used until they are worn out.
Books, too, are dangerous, Rub the
finger over clean sheet and a thin
streak of dirt, perspiration and skin
cells is the result. Once reading
volume through leaves a minute de-
post on every page touched, from
from title page to finish. Sick people
leave germs of their diseases. By de.
erees the hollows fill up. the oil of the
skin tinges the pages and the book be-
comes dirty. Under the microscope
this detritus is heterogeneous, loose,
moist and decaying. One germ intro
duced into it will breed and produce
millions of bacteria and these will live
for unlimited time in the rich soil that
has been gathered from a hundred
hands. 1t is soil for the germs of
scarlet fever. smallpox and various
blood diseases. Cleanliness is not only
next to Goodness. but it is next to life
and health, and though the germ scare
may be overdOne, yet it will produce
good results IN the hands of intelli.

A Fearful Stroke of LIGHTNING,

There was binding blast, a terri.
BILE crash, as if the skies had been sci
on fire and the earth had fallen in
pieces. On a Sunday afternoon the
people of East Point, a village six
miles from Atlanta, were shocked
from a stroke of lightning the like OF
which had never been experienced by
any of them before. About dusk a
gray cloud hung over the town. There
had been no lightning, no thunder,
nor any indication of an electric
storm. Suddenly a flash and crash
came simultaneously and people rush
ed from their houses with blanched
faces. The danger was past, but the
brief experience was terrible. There
had been an electric shower The
lightning had separated into twenty
or more bolts and struck as MANY
places within radius of a quarter of
a mile. The air was filled with the
odor of birthstone and copper color
ed cloud aoated northward from the
city. A windmill was struck and
damaged, the grass on a lawn burned
up, a window in house was shattered
and the carpet in bedroom scorched
a COW was killed, and tree split
open, and a telegraph operator knock
ed from his chair. The most wonder
full thing about thee ctric shower was
the rolling of great tails of fire up the
railroad tracks. Tie small masses

the rails to the terror of the citizens.
