Mir. Giadstone.s Eyes.

,Fifty-four years ago Mir. Gladstone conceived the idea that it would be bet ter for his eyesight were he to substitute candles for the somewhat primitive lamp by which he had been in the habit of studying by night. The light shed by two candles was not sufficient for his purpose, but with the infexibility and perseverance which are his most marked characteristics he continued to perform his nightly task, with the result that his right eye became so much weakened that his medical adviser enjoined upon him the necessity of abstaining totally from work, and living as far as possible in dark room for six months. Long before that peviod had expired Mir. Gladstone made a trip to southern Eu- rope in company with his old college friend, Sir Stephen Glynne.
 Once again grave accident to Mir. Gladstone's eyo threatened for few days to produce the most serious conse- quences. It is well known that he did not begin to wield tho ax as an amateur feller of trees until he was forty years old, and not long afterward,a 2 chip flew -rward as he was cuttiua d6wris fis

DEMOCRATIC BLENDERS.

The Democratic convention yesterday was a good one-for the Republicans. The convention was e series of mistakes from beginning to end, and every de- serving Democrat was left out in the cold or knitted in the house of his sup posed friends. The slate was fixed by Joe Alexander and with few exceptions it worked like charm.
 Life long and competent Democrats stood no show with the machine and they are disgusted with the proceedings. Tempei is loud in denouncing the cut and dried program. and Tempe is not alone in the revolt. For Gila Bend a notoriously irresponsible nominee was named over the protest of the dele gation from that precinct and the choice of the delegation was unanimously slaughtered.
 Neri Osborne was nominated for a third term over J. E. Walker, one of the most deserving Democrats in the county, but the rough-shod manner in which these nominations were made has left heart burnings that will not heal before election day.
 Let the Republicans nominate ticket tomorrow with care and deliberation and it will sweep everything before it in November.

THE ISSUE OF THE CAMPAIGN.

"There are indications" said the London Times, speaking of the Ameri- can presidential contest, "that it will be fought with great energy and ear nestess on fairly clear and definite is- sue between the rival policies of pro- tection and free trade. Mir. Harrison may lose the support of some Republi can free traders; MT. Cleveland that of some Democratic protectionists." The Times etates the case clearly, except as 10 the loss of Republican free traders" !" There are no Republicans in favor of throwing down the barriers that pro- tect American industry and American wages against free foreign competition. When a man takes that ground he ceases to be a Republican. As for Democratic protectionists, there is certainly no place in the Democratic party for them, with the Chicago plat form of free trade and Cleveland as the candidate. All those who have been identified with the Democratic party and who believe in the protection of American industry, comfort and pros. perity against tho degraded and inn poverished labor of Europe and Asia, will vote for the Republican eandi- dates.

The Groom Was An Right.

A lady once sent mo message that her footman had not been confirmed and that she would like him to join some confirmation classes which were just being formed. One of my colleague: went to call on her with view of making the necessary arrangements Just as he was leaving it suddenly oc- cured to her that she had a groom, and very likely he was not confirmed either So she rang the bell and told the butler to go over to the stables and find oui whether James had been confirmed. h few minutes the man returned and stolidly announced: "Yes, miss, it's all right. He's been done twice." Of course he meant vaccinated.-Cornhill Maga. zine.

ana LOOK as though they were but the growth of year or two. The trunk runs straight from the ground to height of about fifteen feet.
 Above this for a short distance is a thick, globular mass of foliage, the leaves appearing to grow directly out oi the wood. Above this growth run uI three thick stalks or stumps six or eight feet high, also covered with dense, close mass of foliage. When the tree is viewed from the north side it presents g startling resemblance to giant human hand protruding from the earth. The three big stumps at the top represent the three middle fingers. and upor either side of these can easily be seen confgurations of the surrounding foli. age which correspond to the little finger and thumb.
 Tie explanation of the phenomenon i, a curious one. The tree was once full grown and vigorous, but was attacked Q by blight or some other disease and the dead trunk was pruned down to its pres ent proportions, whereupon the present new growth developed. d.--Philadelphis Inquirer,

Eastern and Western Swimmers.

Eastern and Western Swimmers.
 The seashore is supposed to be the home of fine swimmers, but as matter of fact the denizens of the coast cannot compare in this respect with our south westerners. I have seen it tried time and again, and always with the same result. Men from Missouri, Illinois, Kansas and Texas are, almost without exception, fieeter and more graceful swimmers than those who were borr and brought up on the New England coast. The reason for this is the differ. ence between fresh and salt water, When one who has learned to swim ir fresh water gets into the ocean he feelf as if he could never become wearied The denser water so buoys his limbs that they appear to weigh nothing and he it astonished at the speed he attains.
 Another notable fact is that the pro portion of men bred op the seaboard who cannot swim is very much greater than among inlanders. At New Bed ford. famous shipping point, not one sailor in five can swim and the same ii true of other points on the New England coast. With the people from the south. west, certainly with those who were bred in the country, the nonswimmer i. an exception. The cause of this is thai the weather is warm enough for out door bathing during more months of the year in the southern and southwestern states than on the sea coast, and scarcely farmers boy is unacquainted with the art. In one respect alone are the east erners ahead and that is in their lady swimmers, with whom we have few tc compete. Louis Post Dispatch.

How Authors Work.

An ingenious reporter has been inter- viewing number of celebrated authors to discover what are their habits and at titudes while writing. M. Aiphonse Daudet, he tells us, smiles maliciously; M. Emile Zola repeats in loud voice the phrase which is at the tip of his pen; M. Edmund de. .Goncourt moves his lips as if he were eating; M. Jules Lemaitre strokes his mustache with his left hand; NJ. Renan looks in the palm of ffis hand, as if to find inspiration there; NJ. Ludo- vic Halevy looks up to the ceiling to col lect his thoughts; M. .Meilhac puts his head into his hands to mediate; M. Jean Richepin taps on his desk when he is in want of a phrase; M. Francois Coppee lights cigarette while searching for a rhyme; M. Henri Bornier scratches his head; M. Emile Bergerat whistles; M. Jean Rameau, when he is writing verses, seems to be thinking of something else, and finally M. Georges Ohnet appears to be thinking of nothing. g.-London Globe.

A Cowardly Husband,s Refuge.

A friend who once travelled with the circus told me this: "Many years ago was a clown in Forepaugh's. One of the lion tanners had a sharp tongued wife who was so insanely jealous of him that she kept the poor man in constant state of trepidation. One afternoon she caught him talking to pretty bareback rider, whereupon she secured horse whip and chased her husband until finally he took refuge by jumping into the lions cage and holding himself be. hind the animals. Ugh! you miserable coward she cried, angrily tugging al the bars, come out and face me if you darer "--Boston Home Journal.

Where Organ Grinder. congrerate

Where Organ Grinders Congregatc.
 The industry-if that word can be used in such connection--of organ grind. ing is one of considerable extent. This city limits the number of licenses to 300 at dollar each. This does not by any means cover the number of Italians whc at certain seasons of the year live hert and make their living by grinding. Like theatrical people, these grinders make New York their headquarters, and Mul berry bend is their Rialto. There or any sunny, warm morning they may be seen lounging indifferently along the narrow, crowded street, stopping to say word with the pretty black eyed girl who sells ice cream for cent glass, oi to borrow cigarette from passing acquaintance.
 In this latter respect alone they resem. ble the loungers of the other Rialto ur town. They don't wear patent feathers or spats or carry big canes, but they make up for these appendages in ciga. rette smoking. g.-New York World.

steam from Wasted Heat.

The quantity of heat wasted by slag has suggested projects for utilizing it in raising steam, but nothing practical has been attained until recently. At a mine in New South Wales the molten slag is run into the bottoms of iron chambers that can withstand internal steam pres- sure, and jets of water are forced on the slag. In a short time the chambers are filled with steam that can be utilized in other parts of the works.-New York Sun
