The Cranberry Senson.

The cranberry picking season ON Cape
Cod is now at its height, and thousands
of the poorer people have been protiting
by the opportunity to make money. OF
late years, however, it has been found
that the native workers are Insufficient,
and foreigners have been introduced.
An average picker gathers from twenty
to thirty measures per day. A fast

Throat diseases are produced often by
breathing through the mouth. A spe-
cialist in this kind of ailments writes
that you may force yourself to breathe
through the nostrils by tying handl1er-
chief or bandage tight under the chin
and wearing it at night. But perhaps
the best way to stop breathing through
the mouth is to stop it. 1t is a deadly
habit Germs of disease and decay are
taken into the system by mouth breath
ing when by drawing the air through
the nostrils they would be stopped at he
outset. Worst of all, the mouth breath
ers snore.

Woman's Share in the Worlds Progress.
One of the purposes of the woman's
share in the Columbian fair, and perhaps
not the least important, is that the ex-
hibits shall demonstrate that women
have had through the ages greater orig
inality and inventiveness than they have
been accredited with. Among the primi-
tive pupils women were the originators,
it is claimed, of industrial arts, and it
was only after they became lucrative
that men usurped them. Women de-
vised the curing and dressing of game
and the fashioning of the skins of ami
mails into garments. Women invented
the needle, the shuttle, the weaving of
textiles. She was the first potter, and
she originated basket making.

Brave France.

The people that can read lesson to
the rest of the world in economic man
agement are the French. The debt in
Cured by the Franco-Prussian war was
all taken by citizens of the republic of
France. AS soon as the industries were
restored these shrewd French began to
save money and invest it. They have
been able to carry their own debt and
maintain their republic in the teeth of
foes abroad and plotters at home. They
have saved besides from their collected
earnings enough money to sink millions
of francs in the copper syndicate and
hundred millions in that outrageous
swindle, the Panama canal scheme. M.
Delahaye charges that 100000 of this
money went to buy up the influence of
newspapers and senators and deputies
of France.
But in spite of the corruption and dis
honesty of their politicians the brave
French people are true hearted, honest
patriots, and we must respect them and
sympathize with them while we CON
denim in the strongest terms the villains
who have swindled them. Even these
enormous losses have failed to swamp
French economical management, how
ever. The people have saved in addition
enough money for the Bank of Paris to be
able to lend Spain SIS ,00O. 900. It is to be
hoped the Spanish government will not
fall into bankruptcy, so that these model
economists will lose on this investment
too. -,
But this is clear, a people who can
save money like that cannot be kept
down, no matter what happens. They
ought to acquaint themselves better with
countries outside Of their own land and
then they would be as successful in in
vesting as they are in saving money

enthusiastic crowd at this hotel for hours
during the evening sang campaign songs,
while presidential candidates were dis
cussed on every hand. The various state
delegations held meetings to decide on
their action In Mondays convention. But
officially the convention observed the

GUS speech which stirred everyone. He

como up and shake hands and bury the
past. AT once a procession was formed
and reunion held on the stage, when
"Marching Through Georgia" and other

ON motion of w. T. Smith, Of Kansas,
struck up, and arm In arm, two by two,
the blue and the gray several hundred
strong marched up and down the sisles
mid the wild applause of the audience
1t was the most striking object lesson
OF all the meetings 80 far held, stirring
the hearts of all with its impulse toward
political harmony and unity. Five min
