The National Democrat.

The National Democrat, which was
established in Washington one year
ago by Edmund Hudson, with the in
dorsement of many of the great lead
ers Of tho party, has entered upon it's
second year with circulation of 49,
600 copies each week. This is perhaps
the largest circulation ever attained
by a weekly newspaper during the
first year Of its existence. The Ma
tional Democrat occupies field of it's
own, and one that too long remained
untitled. It gives a complete rec
ord Of political information, in
Guiding the most important
speeches that are delivered by Demo-
cratic leaders in Congress and on the
stump. 1t is rendering the party an
important service, and should be read
by all who wish to keep fully inform
ed in regard to public affairs and who
mean to defeat the wicked scheme Of
the Republican leaders to secure per-
manent control of the Government,
in spite OF the fact that they are, and
must remain, the minority party in
this country.
The National Democrat and the
WEEKLY INDEPENDENT will be sent
to subscribers one year for SIS, in adj
vance. The price OF the Democrat is
S1.50a year in advance, and in order

AFTERNOON SESSION.

The vote on the Constitutional Con-
ton was the special order for two
o'clock.
Secretary of State Grey came be-
fore the Senate with the official re-
turns of the several counties of the
State and piled them up on the re-
porters' desks in front of the clerks.
Senator Foley moved to count the
votes for and against.
Williamson held that according to
the Committees report, three kinds
of votes had been cast, and these
votes should be segregated.
Foley urged that The Senate wanted
all the information possible, and he
wanted to know just how many votes
had been recorded for and against.
The motion prevailed.
The reading Of the returns then
proceeded, and each of the returns
were then passed over to Tellers
hickey and Sawyer, who scrutinized
them with great care.
Senator Sawyer, one Of the tellers,
reported that he found $500 votes
for, and 1927 votes against the Con-
Btitution.
The total number Of votes polled
for the highest on the ticket was re-
ported by the Secretary of State as
12,409 and the majority OF all tho
votes cast must be 6,205.
Over and above this was majority
Of 104 for the Constitution.
Senator Williamson attempted to
figure in another way, but was called
to order by thseChair.
Senator Hickey, as one Of the tellers,
refused to count any vote which did
not read for Constitutional (,onven.
ton. He reported 2,847 votes for the
Constitution.
Senator Comins rose to inquire
whether the Joint Committee reported
facts or fiction. It looked as il they
had tried to smother. or cover up
something.
Senator Foley moved to adopt the
count OF teller Sawyer as correct.
BY ComiDs-That the Senate re-
solve itself into a Committee Of the
Whole to discuss Foley's motion.
Adopted.

pear before the Senate on Wednesday,

with some. One day a lad came to
school with an Eton hat. Murmurs
and whispers of surprise and disapproval
were heard when he entered, and looks
full of meaning passed from boy to boy.
At II o'clock came recess, and precise
ly at ten seconds past II there was a
riot That was the moment when the
lad appeared with his little plug" hat
on. He was quiet, shrinking boy, and
l pitied him from the bottom of my
heart, for his parents were to blame of
course. Directly that he set foot in the
yard he was seized, pulled this way and
that, tripped up and despoiled of his hat.
That article went Immediately into use
as football, and in less than minute
had become a shred of black beaver and
pasteboard. At last it was pitched over
the fence with yell of triumph and the
boy went home bareheaded and in tears.
American honor was maintained and
the injurious influence of British custom
effectually defied. That is what is go
ing to happen here every time boy tries
to wear Eaton clothes. Spare him, ye
parents. Consider his bones, if you don't

Remarkable Ghostlv Actions.

One of the most remarkable modern
instances of supposed ghostly disturb
ance occurred in the home of Rev. DIR.
Phelps, of Stratford, Conn. Upon re-
turning from church one day he found
that all the doors of his house, which he
had carefully locked on his departure,
were wide open and the contents of the
rooms ON the first floor in the widest
confusion. Nothing had been stolen.
In room in the upper story, however,
eight forms were found, each one with
an open Bible held close to its face. On
examination these were found to be
bundles of clothes, cunningly and very
skillfully arranged to represent living
beings. Everything was cleared away
and the room locked, but within five
minutes the same scene was repeated,
although the clothing had been carefully
put away.
For seven months the house was dis
The most unearthly noises were heard
day and night. Furniture and kitchen
utensils were mysteriously moved.
Glassware and window panes were
broken by unseen hands before the
startled inmates, and once the eleven
year-old son of the doctor was lifted
bodily and carried some distance. The
most diligent research discovered moth
ing, and not until he applied to some
spiritualists in Boston did the disturb
ance cease.

The Men Who "Toe In

Here is a fortunate man who can walk
half a mile on Broadway ON busy day
and escape being trodden on by some
one behind him. 1t is a curious fact
that nearly all of the men who-uncon-
sciously of course-step on women's
dresses and wipe their feet on other
mems trousers are victims of the unfor-
tunate habit of ''toeing in."

How a Diamond Cuts Glass.

1t has been ascertained by a series of
experiments that a diamond does not
cut out the glass, file fashion, but forces
the particles apart, so that a continuous
crack is formed along the line of the in
tended cut. The crack once begun,
very small force is necessary to carry it
through the glass, and thus the piece is
easily broken off. The superficial crack
or cut need not be deep, depth, accord
ing to fine measurements, of 200th
part of one inch is quite sufficient to ac-
complish the purpose, so that the appli-
cation of much force in using the dia-
mond only wears out the gem without
doing the work any better.
Numerous stones, such as quartz and
other minerals, when ground into proper
form, will cut glass like diamond, but
are not so valuable for that purpose,
lacking the requisite hardness and soon
losing the sharp edge necessary to make
the operation success. - ST. Louis
Globe Democrat.

Climate and Morals.

The world is tolerably well mapped
out as to diseases. The colored charts
show us where we may most probably
dwell with malaria, with consumption
or with general debility. We study,
also, the adaptability of plants to differ
ent climatic conditions. But our knowl-
edge of the relation of man to climate is
still far from scientiic-that is to say,
of the influence of climate upon charac-
ter and conduct. To come to detail,
what, for instance, do we know of the
effect of climate upon veracity. There
are portions of the earth's surface where
the inhabitants regard truth as luxury
seldom to be INDUCED in; in others the
mind seems rather inclined to truthful
ness.
Whether the difference is owing to
race or climate our observations do not
yet enable us to determine. There is a
popular notion that the habit of prevari-
cation goes along with warmth, or with
a debilitating atmosphere, and that cold
is tonic, sort of stimulant for truth
fitness. We indeed have in the phrase
"the cold truth a recognition of this.
We say that the northern ATTITUDES nurse
the rugged virtue of veracity. Charles
Dudley Warner in Harper's.

Babies of the Japanese.

1t is an odd thing that by no people on
earth are children-both girls and boys
treated with more affection and in
dulgence than by the island neighbors of
the Chinese-the Japanese, namely; and
no children have a greater abundance of
toys and amusements. 1t must, how
ever, be said that the fondness and
patience of Japanese parents are recipro-
Gated by the love and obedience of their
children. Both father and mother are
equally devoted to their offspring. The
mother commonly carries her baby slung
in front of her. and when she is tired the
father cheerfully accepts the burden;
but fathers and mothers and elder sisters
and brothers may often be seen in the
gay, sunny streets of Toxic or Yokohama
giving pick-a-backs to delighted, crow
ing babies.
The japanese baby, moreover, is not
only INDUCED, he is also treated with
the greatest care and intelligence. He is
judiciously fed; he is regularly bathed
either at home or in the public bath
houses, and his skin is stimulated and
his health hardened by his being fire.

Relative Strength of Men and Women


By means of a specially devised instru-
ment French scientist has carried out
some experiments for determining how
the average strength of the two sexes
compares. The palm of the hand is
placed on the instrument, and then the
greatest downward pressure which the
individual can give is exercised upon it,
and the force thus produced is recorded
by the usual clockwork device. Fifty
robust men, and the same number of
healthy women, both belonging to the
middle class of society, with ages vary
ing from twenty-five to forty-five years,
were tested in this way by the Paris
scientist
The strongest man of the company
was able to produce with his right hand
a pressure equivalent to eighty-five kilo-
grams "a kilogra1n is rather more than
two pounds) and the weakest to forty
kilograms, the average being fifty-six
kilograms One curious result was ar
rived at: The short men were all very
nearly as strong as the tall men, the
average difference between equal groups
of two sizes being only three Kilograms.
The force of the strongest women of the
fifty who were selected amounted to only
forty-four kilograms, and that of the
weakest to sixteen kilograms, while the
average was thirty-three Kilograms
