THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The full number of delegates to the
Democratic national convention is not
yet chosen. Arkansas has yet to choose
sixteen, Louisiana sixteen and Ohio four
at large. Of4fhese Cleveland is sure to
get one half, probable more. The con-
vention will number about 900 delegates,
so that to defeat Cleveland his opponents
must muster 800 votes. Cleveland's
friends claim that the opposition has not
yet secured that number and that they
cannot, and are predicting Cleve-
lands nomination on the first bal
lot 1t looks as if their prediction was
well founded. Outside of New York and
the South, where he has picked up few
delegates, Hill has very little strength.
He may pick up a vote here and there in
the Northern States, but the aggregate
cannot be large. There will be some
votes cast for ''favorite sons" but their
number will be small. The opposition
to Cleveland keep up good deal of noise
and hustle and profess great confidence
that he will be beaten, but it is difficult
to discover any good basis for their con-
fidence. To an impartial observer it
looks as if Cleveland had today almost
two-thirds of the delegates, and that be-
fore the convention meets he will have
quite that number. How strongly these
delegates are bound to him we cannot
say. Some of them are instructed, but
the most of them are not bound by any
thing stronger than their own
present wishes and the wishes
of their constituents, pretty
strong bond to be sure, but one that Is

GRANDMoTHER's WAY OF COOKING FISH
AND HAM AND EGGS.
Soak large piece of Goldfish "a hours,
put in wire boiler and brown quickly
over brisk fire, put it on platter then
break it apart and butter generously; or
If cream is liked pour hot cream over it.
Cut ham in thin slices and broil quickly
in wire broiler. Butter baking dish
well, break the eggs into it and bake
slowly. Put the eggs in the oven before
broiling the ham as eggs should be
baked slowly to prevent them from be-
ing tough.
Cut salt pork in slices in the evening,
soak them over night in sweet skim-milk
then fry crisp and it will be equal to
fresh pork. Serve with baked potatoes
and apple sauce.
Chop finely the pieces left of roast
veal and warm in the gravy left over or
in butter and hot water; season with
salt and pepper and pour it over slices of
toasted bread. This makes much of a
few pieces.
A baked omelet that does not require
much attention when one is hurried is
made this way: Heat a pint of milk
with a tablespoonful of butter in it.
Beat six eggs, teaspoonful of salt, a
tablespoonful of -four and a little cold
milk together until smooth, then mix
quickly into the hot milk and pour in
buttered dish. Bake Is or 20 minutes
in a hot oven. This is nice looking
breakfast dish.
These receipts make appetizing dishes
of the most common materials.-N. E.

TO REMOVE GREASE FROM A DRESS.
have been asked to give recipe for
doing this, but as it is not stated Of what
material the gown is made am some
what at loss. If it is an ordinary
woollen one try the following method:
Heat the point of an old steel knife in
the fire, then placeia layer of brown paper
over the spot, and hold the knife near
enough for the heat to bring the grease
| from the gown on the paper, or if not
hot enough to scorch, lay it on the paper.
Repeat this until the mark disappears.
For silk or satin pour over the grease
two drops of rectifed spirits of wine,
then cover it with piece of linen and
press it with hot iron, changing the
the linen as soon as it gets greasy. The
spot will still show, but this can be re-
moved by a little sulphuric ether drop
ped on it, rubbing tslightly.-Exchange.
RHUBARB PIES.
For pies the rhubarb should be sliced
thin. Put layer ofrhubarb in the pie
pan--the under crust should be rather
thin-then layer of sugar and dredge
with -four, another layer of rhubarb,
more sugar, then dredge with -four, put
on the top crust and bake in not too hot
an oven until well done. The under
rust sh ould be nearly an inch larger than
the pan, and folded over the edge of the
fruit. Wet slightly with water or the
white of an egg before putting on the
top crust, and you will not be troubled
with the juice stewing out. The top
crust should be cut through the centre.
Two cups of rhubarb and tablespoon
full of flour is a good rule for a medium
sized pie.

IN TWENTY-FIVE SECONDS,
The Blood In a Mans Body Makes the Full
Round Trip.

u
Round Trip.
From the Medical Record.
Medical workers have made many curious
experiments. but none more wonderful than
that by which they ascertained the exact time
required for the blood to make one entire trip
through the system, which all students of ply
siology know means a complete circulation
through the lungs, veins, arteries and the gen.
eral capillary arrangements. Profs. Dalton,
Herring, Jacksonville. Mattucci and Blake have
been the chief investigators in this line, the first
named having become more eminent in this
particular branch Of research from having the
experience OF Others to fortify himself with.
All the old school anatomists believed that a
considerable time elapsed, FAY from three to nine
minutes, from the time when the blood left the
right side of the heart, traversed the whole sys-
TEN and then again returned to the starting
point. Dalton has shown that the time is much
shorter than was formerly generally supposed.
The chief agent used in his experiments was
salt known to chemists Us ferrocyanide Of po-
tassium. which can be readily detected in the
blood on account of it's chemical reactions.
Prof. Dalton describes the operation in the
following language: Blood was drawn from the
jugular vein of the opposite side, and the inter
val which elapsed before the appearance Of the
foreign salt in blood drawn from the second
opening indicated the time required for the
blood TO pass from the point Of injection
through the vena cava to the heart, from the
right side of the heart through the lungs to the
left cavities. from the left vcntrical through the
carotid artery and the capillary vessels of the
head, and thence downward to the jugular vein
on the opposite side. Dozens Of carefully tabu-
lated tests of this somewhat extraordinary sub
ject show that the blood of man makes COM
pletc circulation once every fifteen to twenty
five seconds according to the physical condi-
tons of the subject experimental upon"

map OF the heavens is being prepared at a
cost Of Fl 100000 (Which tbs leading nations
have agreed to raise) an example of what
telescope photography. can do. instantaneous
photography seems to have attained perfection,
for it is now possible to fix the image of a can
non ball flying through the air. Even microbes
are now being photographed. A young French
chemist, NJ. Henri Courtonne, is credited with
new discovery for which we have been looking
to Mr.. Edison. Sound being transmissible by
telephone, NJ. Courtonne argued by a rigorous
analogy that light might be transmitted too.
As the telephone Consists of transmitte-, q
wire and receiver, so there was reason to be-
lieve that these three organs might be
adapted for transmitting light vibrations.
and for this purpose the transmitter and
receiver should be prepared chemically for
receiving and giving out light instead of
sound vibrations This was done by substi-
tuting sensitized Photographic plates for the
ordinary telephone plate. One OF the plates
was placed in front Of an aperture through
which an image was cast, and this image has
been forwarded BIZ wire and has been seen at
the other end. The first apparatus was very
imperfect, and NJ. COurtonne having heard that
Mr.. Edison vas on the track of similar dis
covsry, resolved TO publish his expert
ments, q description of which he. however,
sent in sealed letter to the Academy i'll 1889.
This letter is only TO be opened at the senders
request.

telephotography cannot be overestimated. To-
morrow, it saws, you will see in Paris the image

SEA MARRIAGES.
Status OF People who Are Welded on the
Pacific or California.

ASsAC VIZ SAhICEuIAs
From the San Fran"isco Call
THE silly ninnies who run off to sea in tug
boats to be married will some day be brought
to grief in a way they least expect" was the re-
mark made by a prominent lawyer yesterday.
who was discussing with friend the question
Of the legality of such marriages. Under the
laws of this state, he said, ''such marriages
are not recognized as valid. Unless the parties
have marriage license in due form and the
ceremony is performed By regular preacher
Of the Gospel or by some civil magistrate au-
thorized by the law to solemnize marriages the
contract is no good. The people who live to-
gether after being married by the captain of
a vessel are simply concubines and the issues Of
such alliances are illegitimate. II either Of the
parties were TO marry in the regular way some
other affinity neither could be convicted of
bigamy."
An old sea captain was asked what he thought
about the matter. he replied that while it has
been practice from time immemorial for cap
tains to assume the right to marry couples at
sea he was fully convinced that no such author
ity had ever been conferred upon sea captains
still less upon navigators of steam tugs and
other coastwise sailing craft The question is
being agi:ated of passing federal or state law
imposing severe penalties upon masters of ting
boats, yachts and other vessels attem pting
to solemnize the marriage ceremony three
leagues from shore or any other distance.

Increasing Longevity.


From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The three-score and ten years allotted to

Der, was the prediction made by DR.. Charles
Hienkle of the Laclede. ''In5tead of the world
growing weaker and wiser, as the old axiom
puts it, it is growing wiser and stronger The
average length of life is steadily increasing
IL the days of good Queen Bess women were
considered passe at thirty, and few men dis
unguished themselves in statecraft, science or
literature after passing five and sixty. Now a
woman lis in the heyday of her beauty at thirty.
and the ripest fruits of genius are frequently
plucked at three-score and ten. Gladstone,
Bismarck and Blaine are fair examples of that
green and fruitful old age frequent in these
days. Yetscience is but in its infancy. As il
progresses the waste of life and energy will be
gradually curtaiied. While the fountain Of
youth sought by that interesting old crank,
Ponce de Leon, will probably never be found:
while man will probably never discover the
secret Of remaining an ever young Apollo. nor
woman that of being as attractive az sixty as at
sixteen. firmly believe that the meridian of
life will yet be raised from thirty-five to
seventy, that the day will come when man

Decorations Run Mad.

From the London Globe.
The abuse of decorations has reached such q
pitch that the government has been forced to
take measures to remedy it. Ribbon, whether
red or violet. has always been the besetting
weakness OF the French character. The Wilson
scandal gave us some idea of it. but only par
italy; the Eiysee WIS not the only place where
decorations were battered. The Legion of
Honor, however. Is now more respected than il
was at that time, and the lovers of ribbons have
therefore. been compelled to content them
selves with the less dignified order known as
the Paimes Academiques which have been SO
