Our Public Schools

Are the main-stay of our republic.
In them are being cultivated the minds
which are to be our future lawmakers
and leaders in every walk in life.
How essential it is that these minds
should be united to strong, healthy
bodies. SO many children suffer from
impurities and poisons in the blood
that it is wonder that they ever grow
up to be men and women. Many
parents cannot find words strong
enough to express their gratitude to
Hoods Sarsaparilla for its good effect
upon their children. Scrofula, salt
rheum and other diseases of the blood
are effectually and permanently cured
by this excellent medicine, and the
whole being is given strength to resis,
attacks of disease.

The High Cost OF Bicycles.

The question why the high grade bicy-
Gle costs SO much-a sum beyond the
means of the ordinary wage-earner
lis often asked. The Iron Age gives
some interesting information in answer.
In the first place the bicycle must be
made on the interchangeable principle
20 that missing or broken part can be
supplied by the factory at once. AL ol
such parts undergo rigid system of in.
speotion, being submitted TO the severe
strains which they must stand while the
machine is In use. Main parts, like the
sprooket wheel, hubs, etc. are gauged,
the allowance for variation being one
quarter Of q thousandth. A variation In
excess OF this throws the piece out. The
method Of stringing the wheel Is thus
described: The outer ends Of the spokel
are threaded in order to enter the hard
ened brass nipple, the cap Of which is. oi
course, on the outer side Of the rim. The
boy who strings the wheel up merely
tightens the nipples sufficiently to hold
the parts together. After this the wheel
goes to an expert workman. who tightens
the spokes. bringing them all under the
desired tension. Tho wheel Is thsr
mounted on an axle and turned, q pieo<
Of chalk held near the rim serving to in
dicate any irrsgularity. To correct such
defects and make the wheel perfectly
true, the nipples are frightened or loos
eDed. This is simple matter, and vel
one requiring great Judgment
The braxing OF the joints and the max
ing OF the felloe or iron to receive the
rubber tire are also operations requiring
the greatest precision and dslioacy d
handling. In short, there is no part oi
the modern bicycle that can be turned
out without the minutest attention to Do
tail. The day has not come when II car
be made factory fashion.

Som u q IN bultssn.

Memory Is responsible for many Of the
phenomena of somnambulism. A dis
tinguished physician once dreamed that
he was listening to remarkable piece Of
music performed by some singers. He
n,embered the melody on awakening,
and was 80 delighted with it that he
wrote 1t down. Several years afterward.
as he was turning over some old sheets Of
music that he had never seen before-as
lie thought-he came upon the very mel
ody he had dreamed. He could not re-
member that he had ever seen or heard this
melody except in his dream, and yet II is
beyond doubt that he had heard it, that he
had forgotten it, and that it had been re-
produced in his dream in the manner re-
corded. A servant girl, while in SOM
nambulistic state, wrote down the pages
of an astronomical treatise, with calcula-
tions and delineations. 1t was found
that this was taken from the Encyclopoe
dia Britannica. which she said she had
read in the library. But when awake
she could not recall word of it De
Boismont mentions the case Of widow
who was sued for debt of her deceased
husband, which she knew was paid. But
she could not find the receipt. Greatly
disturbed, she went to bed and dreamed
that her husband came to her and said
that the receipt was in velvet bag in q
hidden drawer in his desk. This she
found on waking to be the case. OF
course, she had known of the hiding
place. but had forgotten. The physiolo-
gist Burdach was told one morning that
his wife had been seen the night before
walking on the roof of the church. He
took the opportunity at her next sleep to
question her, when she gave q full ac-
count of her proceedings, and mentioned
having hurt her left foot by nail on the
roof. When awake she was asked about
the wound in her foot, but could give no
explanation. Instances Of this sort seem

VOTING UNDER THE NEW LAW,
An Explanation Of the Austria.
liam Ballot System.
How the Rubber Stamp Is to Be
Used at the Polls.
Regulations That Must Be Observed in
Marking Ballots-Changes Made
by the Supreme Court
Decision.

The supreme court, says the San
Francisco Examiner, has decided that
there shall be no party headings printed
on the ballots to be used at the coming
election on November 4th. This decis-
ion very much lessons the danger Of
stamping ballots SO that they will be
thrown out altogether. In fact, man
must now use extraordinary efforts to
make so many blunders that some part
of his vote will not be counted.
Under this decision voting straight
party ticket is not SO simple matter as
it was before, when q single cross oppo-
site the heading meant vote for the
whole ticket. Now it is necessary to
stamp q cross after the name of each
candidate representing the party for
which one wishes to vote. With the ex-
'ception OF this slight additional labor
which the voters of straight tickets must
perform, the whole system is considera-
bly, simplifed.
STAMPING THE BALLOT.
The rules for voting remain precisely
the same as they were before the de-
cision, except as to casting straight
party ballots. The form of the printed
ticket remains the same, minus the
party headings. When man receives
his ballot from clerk at the polls, he
enters booth, where he will be allowed
10 minutes in which to stamp his ticket,
the law requiring that there shall not be
less than one booth for every 80 electors
qualified to vote in the precinct. In the
booth he will find an ink pad and rub
ber stamp that makes this mark: x.
VOTING FOR ELECTORS.
First on the ticket are printed the
names of the presidential electors of the
several par ties. In voting for the elec-
tors, one cross after any one of the
names is sufficient to insure the ballot
for all the nine electors of any one
party. On the other hand there is
nothing to prevent the voter from
stamping an x after each of the names
of the nine electors of his choice, but
the law says, "the voter may vote for.
the whole of such group by making one
mark after such group" 1t does not
matter which one of the i nine spaces is
used for this purpose, but it is likely to
cause less confusion if the middle one
opposite the point of the bracket is
used, thus:
