Water AS n Solid.

We usually think of minerals as solid
things, such as metals and rocks and
jewels and various chemical salts. But
when we consider the matter a little we
see that all these things il melted by
strong heat are minerals still, only they
are now in a fluid instead of a solid state.
The difference between these minerals and
water is that water gets fluid at a lower
temperature than they do, and, like quick
silver, stays melted at ordinary living
heat. But in those old ice ages, which,
one after another, have swept now over
the northern and now over the southern
hemisphere, bringing ruin and desolation,
the natural and common condition OF
water was that Of u solid-ice-as it largely
Is today out of doors in winter when not
kept fused by the stored up heat Of the
soil and rocks, or melted by the sun.-T.

GEN. JOHN c. BLACK, at Bloomington,
said: The three sources OF national
prosperity are the trinity OF agriculture.
manufactures and commerce. The dem :
ocratic doctrine is to treat each Of these
with exact fairness; that no tax should
be laid upon the masses for the benet'
OF the favored few. The cardinal divis-
ions Of this theory are: CD That all
taxation should be evenly distributed
no class to escape or be overta1ed; (2)
that the needs OF the government are the
only excuse for taxation; and 81 that
nothing can justify the taking Of property
from one man or class and bestowing it
upon another. Summing all these into
one we have the great democratic doc
trine-a tariff for revenue only.

Don.t Jabber. Talk sense.

Girls, be sure you are well informed on
any topic before you attempt to discuss it.
Words without knowledge only lead to
defeat, but when you are certain of your
self and your topic, express it ia u brief,
concise manner, right to the point, which
will leave no room to doubt that you know
what you are talking about
Avoid slang, do not exaggerate, a
show that you can discuss topics other
than dress, flirtations and gossip. 1t is as
great an accomplishment TO be a good

possess, but any woman who tries can be-
como a sensible, pleasing talker. to whom

In these days of factory made linens
1t is especially essential that the goods
should be carefully Numbered. The
fiber or linen is easily cracked when it is
in a frozen state, and for this reason it
is much wiser to dry it in the house dur
ing the cold weather. Old fashioned
linen such as u great-grandmothers
wove could be easily hung outdoors in
winter and allowed to bleach in the frost
as well as in the dew; but when the
fiber has been weakened by the use of
bleachers it is impossible that it should
wear like the old time linens.-New
