WARNING LEADERS.

There is no lack of the. element Of
dissension In the Republican ranks
this, season, look where one will.
Here in Massachusetts trouble has
long been brewing; New, York's forces
are at log -erheads, and faction finds
abundant scope, ia the Party's MEM
bership throughout the west.
But the clouds Of far bigger storm
than these local disturbances are
looming up on the political horizon.
Already the western reserve is. dark
eped, and the whole Republican sky
is likely soon to be overspread.
Thus early in the Ohio campaign
long-repressed jealousies, of party fac
ton are beginning to fash out. The
growth OF the Blaine sentiment has
fingered Maj. McKinley's. supporters
into open revolt against the candidacy
of the man from Maine. '.--
While the recluse at Bar Harbor
was accounted out Of the field the
Ohio campaigners allowed him the
title of."Reciprocity Bill" witho 1T any
spoken protest. But now that the
Blaine boom is Enthusiastically under
way, they hotly aver that Mckinley
and: Harrison, are. as much untitled, to
a share Of the reciprocity hurrahing
as the much-vaunted Secretary of
State, himself.
Judge William Lawrence, stanchest
Of McKinleyites, thus vigorously OK
presses his opinion regarding Blaine
adulteration in a letter published
by his permission in the. Wauseon
Republican,;
ave want no man as a candidate for
the presidency who opposed the, Nc
Kinley act, who wants reciprocity to
extend to free wool, who opposed
legislation to protect the. colored
people OF the south, who apologized
for trusts and is hostile to western
in erests."
This thrust at the Plumed Knight
is all the sharper because no names
are named: Everybt dy knows who is
meant perfectly we'll.
IT, is warning sent out to Bar
Harbor that Maj. McKinley's friends
do not propose to concede for a single
moment that all the magnetism and
wisdom OF The party are conferred in
the brain OF the man who was de-
feated for the presidency seven years
ago. Boston Globe.

the square Of only one cell, the side OF
which IS only unit, which, multiplied
By itself, unde-goes no change. The
ancients having used these magic
squares for various purposes, they be-
came = subject Of consideration among
mathenaticians; not because they i'm
agined that they would be OF any solid
use o. advantage, but rather as q kind
Of play in which the difficulty makes the
merit. II your young readers want a
little recreation in the com bination OF
figures, let them make a large square in
which there are 25G smaller squares, and
place in those smaller squares all
the numbers from ! 20 2J5 in such 8
manner as viii answer the following
conditions: !. The SUN Of the sixteen
numbers IN each column or row, verti-
cal or horizontal, 20 be 2,O55. ? Every

these half diagonals from the ends Of

upward or downward, OF sideways from
right 20 left, or from left 20 right :
The same with all the parallels 20 the

bers seen through the hole is always
equal 70 2,O56, the sum Of the I6 num-
bers in any horizontal or vertical

WRITTEN EXCUSES.

I once taught a country school IN the
backwoods, writes J. L. Harbour in
Wide Awake, :and as was the custom
then, I required written excuse when
pupil was absent for one or more days
Some Of these excuses have kept and
they afford me deal OF amusement after
all the years that have come and gone
since then.
Here is an excuse brought one day by
