hard wood one coat will be sufficient; for yellow or
Georgia pine California redwood, repeat the process
two or even three times OF the easiest finish
to apply after the wood is filed" and is perfectly
smooth is good wood varnsh, which can be got from
any paintshOp But for careful work we greatly prefer
beeswax polish. Melt the ordinary yellow beeswax
with little turpcntlne and apply with flannel rag,
polishing it afterwad with soft old toothbrush ana

in this way the wood grows better, year by year until
IL will finally attain a ustre which is quite brilliant,
and which is superior to any shiny varnfsh Ihis Is
much more troublesome than simply vanishing but
for careful handmade work is quite worth the extra

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The Democratic leader in Ohio does
not try to ignore either the opposition
to him in the Democratic ranks or the
uncertainties introduced by the Third
Party movement. But ne sees that with
Mckinley and himself on the stump,
"every issue save the tariff will be for
gotten in two weeks" On that issue
Governor Campbell, as the leader of
Democracy, makes ready for square
and honorable fight.
The public loves good fighter; and
Governor Campbell's characteristic ac-
ceptance of the controlling issue would
win him popularity, if it were not that
his opponent is square and honorable
fighter also. The contest between Camp
bell and Mckinley will be gratifying
one, because it will be trial of strength
between creditable representatives of
opposing principles, and no matter
which triumphs, Ohio may be sure of
clean and honest Governor.
The Democratic leader discreetly says
nothing of Presidential issues arising out
of the Ohio campaign. Nevertheless,
with Mr.. Blaine in perilous health, and
the breach between the Cleveland Hill
factions widening, the trial of strength
between Mckinley and Campbell may
prove to have within it the making of
Presidential nomination.

in the year just past. In the same periOC
the increase in the population of the
country was not more than 2.5 per cent
or 3-per cent. at the utmost. The aver
age amount of full legal tender money
in the United States made, therefore, a
distinct gain in proportion to the popu-
lation. 1t is true that the volume of
trade and industry probably increased
faster, also, than the population, but the
proportionatc amount of money needed
for the legitimate functions of trade
grows steadily less, owing to the tend
ency toward the perfection of the credit
and exchange systems. 1t is clear,
therefore, that the talk of contraction in
the currency, and of an increasing def
cheney in the circulating medium of the
country is empty chatter. 1t is some
times the dishonest clamOr of dema-
gogues and sometimes the ignorant
mouthing of half baked enthusiasts, but
never founded on fact or common sense
Scarcity of money is unknown when
there is confidence in the financial world,
and confidence is in inverse ratio to the
amount of money in any country when
the volume of its currency is increased
at the sacrifice of quality. This is very
trite and simple doctrine, but the rudi-
ments of finance are too often lost sight
of nowadays in the fog of heresies that
blind millions to fundamental principles
which ought to be apparent to every
reasoning mind.

FOOD BEFORE SLEEP.

From the Medical Journal.
Some persons, though not actually
sick, keep below par in strength and
general tone, and l am of the opinion
that fasting during the long interval
between supper and breakfast, and
especially the complete emptiness of
the stomach during sleep, adds greatly
to the amount of emaciation, sleepless-
ness, and general weakness we so often
meet.
Physiology teaches that in the body
there is perpetual disintegration of
tissue, sleeping or waking; it is there
fore logical to believe that the supply of
nourishment should be somewhat con-
tinuOus.
As bodily exercise is suspended dur
ing sleep, with wear and tear CORE
spondingly diminished, while digestion,
assimilation and nutritive activity con-
tinue as usual, the food furnished during
this period adds more than is destroyed,
and increased weight and improved
general vigor are the result.
All beings except man are governed
by natural instinct, and every, being
with stomach, except man, eats before
sleep, and even the human infant,
guided by the same instinct, drinks
frequently day and night, and if its
stomach is empty for any prolonged
period, it cries long and loud.
Digestion requires no interval of rest,
and if the amount of food during the "a
hours is, in quantity and quality, not be-
yond the physiological limit, it makes
no hurtful difference to the stomach
how few or how short are the intervals
between eating, but it does make a vast
difference in the weak and emaeiated
ones welfare to have a mOdicum of
food in the stomach during the time of
sleep; that, instead of being consumed
by bodily action, it may during the in
terval improve the lowered system.
7 am fully satisfied that were the
weakly, the emaciated and the sleeplesS
to nightly take light lunch or meal of
simple nutritious food before going to
bed for prolonged period, nine in ten
of them would be thereby lifted into
better standard of health; on the con-
trary, persons that are too stout or
plethoric should follow an opposite
course.

HOW THE PRINCE OF WALES
GREETED HIS BRIDE.

GREETED HIS BRIDE.
Lucy C. Lille, i'll June Lippineotts.
Never, so it is said, since the days of
Queen Elizabeth, had there been any
thing so sumptuous as the preparations
for the progress of this royal bride from
Gravesend to London, thence on to
Windsor Castle. 1t seemed as though
the whole nation had swarmed into pub
lie view, so crowded were the thorough
fares, the country side, and the shores
which greeted the eyes of the Danish
girl, whose new dignity seemed to have
something positively spectacular in the
splendor with which the people set it
forth.
Early in the day, sixty young ladies
attired in the red and white colors of
Denmark assembled at the wharves, to
strew flowers beneath the feet of the
princes bride. The moment the yacht
came in view bearing its precious freight,
the air was rent with cheers, at which,
so relates a lady in the party, Alexandra
turned pale with excitement and clung
to her mother, hardly knowing what to
do or say in answer to the wild tumult
of the people. Those upon the shore
saw pretty sight,-a timid, girlish
figure, dressed entirely in white, who
appeared on the deck at her moth
es'r side, then returning to the cab
in, was seen first at one window
then at another, the bewitching face
framed in little white bonnet, the
work of her own hands,-and which, it
may be remarked, had TO be replaced at
Gravesend for something more suited
to the bride of the Prince of Wales
The Princes yacht approached that of
his bride, the gangway was thrown
down, and Immediately he was seen by
all thousands to rush across it, and,
waiting for no formal greeting, and to
to the delight of the onloOkers, caught
the Princess in his arms and kissed her,
"just," as an honest Yorkshire man said
to me in in describing the scene, 'as
though she were any other lass"

ACROSS THE DEEP

To the far West, on steamboats,, cars
and stage-cOaches, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is carried as the most important
item in the materia medica of the travel
ing public; it deprives vitiated, brackish
water of its hurtful properties and ex-
ecrable flavor, counteracts the pernicious
effects upon the stomach of bad or indi-
gestible food, remedies cramps, heartburn
and wind upon his stomach; it is fine
defense against malarial disorders, nulli-
fies the effects of excessive heat, cold and
damp, relieves sick headache, and is an
Incompatible cure for costiveness and
biliousness; the fatigue of travel often
tells most disasterOusly upon invalids
and cOnvalescents, occasionally to such
an extent as to jeopardiZe life; persons i'll
feeble health, apprehensive of bad effects
from travel, will, if provided with the
Bittcrs, be far less likely to have their
fears realized. 6-44t

THE friends of C. 5. Brice still con-
tinue to be rewarded while his enemies
are reaping the whirlwind of his dis
pleasure. Down in Licking county
Hon. NJ NJ. Munson, an old school
Democrat, with courtly manners and a
genuine respect for honesty and decency,
has been defeated for denomination for
Representative. Mr.. Munson, it is al
most unnecessary to say, was opposed
to Brice as candidate for United States
Senator. When such men as Munson
are quietly beheaded and thrown upon
the ash-heap, and men like "Hoopla"
Geyer, of Paulding county, are raised
up from the House to the Senate, it is
time for self-respecting Democrats to
hold their noses.

A WONDER WORKER

Mr.. Frank Huffman, a young man of
Burlington, Ohio, states that he had
been under the care of two prominent
physicians, and used their treatment un-
til he was not able to get around. They
pronounced his case to be consumption
and incurable. He was persuaded to try
DIR. Kings New Discovery for COnsump-
ton, coughs and colds, and at that time
was not able to walk across the street
without resting. He found, before he
had used half of dollar bottle, that he
was much better: he continued to use it
and is to-day enjoying good health. If

PUBLIC OPINION.

BAD SEND-OFF FOR MR.. PETER.
Piqua Dispatch.
This man PETER, who is at the head
of the new Peoples party, is the same
person who recently manipulated a
granger convention in Kansas which
denounced the Grand Army of the
Republic. A pretty fellow he is to
head a new movement in the interests
of the farmersl Why, he is already
crying out against the money power, yet
the first thing he did when he went to
Washington as Senator was to hunt up
the man who had charge of Uncle Sans
shekels to see if he couldn't draw part
of his salary in advance.

ENGLISH FEMALE GAMBLERS.

Philadelphia Times.
Many Americans will incline to think
the gravest part of the baccarat scandal
is neither the probability of the guilt of
the accused Baronet, nor the mixing up
of the heir to the crown in a fast
country house scandal, but the light
thrown by the case on the gambling
proclivities of English women. Few
men on this side of the water. no matter
how wealthy and idle, would care to
play cards for money with women; al
most none at all would sanction their
own families indulging in such pursuits.
The coarseness of fiber of the English
aristocrat has, however, made the evil
tolerable to them for centuries, and
obviously things are no better now
than in the days of ombre and spadille.
Americans cannot claim much virtue on
the score of gambling, but at least the
men of the nation reserve the dangerous
license for themselves.
