other proof to the many already
existing that a black skin may cover
hero's heart. 1t was the pre-.
sentation of handsome gold watch
to the negro, Basil Lockwood, who
at the risk OF his own life was
instrumental in rescuing IS clerks
from the upper floor OF the wrecked
building. One of the rescued clerks
made the presentation speech, and
his closing words tell the story
"With the fearful crash Of falling
floors still sounding in our ears aud
the means OF our dying comrades
coming up to US from the awful
wreck, with the floor under our feet
and the walls around US still tremh-
ling from the shock, you reached to
us the ladder which then seemed
the span between time and eter-
nifty" The inscription on the watch
reads: "Presented to Basil Lock
wood by the clerks Of the Record
and Pension division of the War
department in recognition of his
heroic conduct in the Ford's theatre
disaster June 9, 1898"

Democrat" and Republican. ;
Warren Sentinel.


Not all of our young leaders, and
perhaps not all of the older ones,
know exactly the meaning of the
party titles "Democrat" and "Repub-
Iicau." When a small boy hears
them he gen orally thinks of one or
the other of the political parties as
the people who do not belong to his
fathers party. 1t will do no harm
to print exactly what each of these
party titles really means.
"Democrat" comes from the Greek
Word "demos," which means "the
people," and from "kratos," which
means "power." SO "Democrat"
is one who believes in the power or
sovereigntyof thepeople, each acting
as nearly as may be for himself.
"Repub,jcan" comes from the Lat
in words "res puDIa," which means
"for the common good"
So a "Democrat' may be said to
be one who regards it as beyond the
power of the government to do any
thing for the citizen that he eau do
for himself.
A "Republican" may be said to
hold that it is the business Of the
government to do for all the people
very many things which they might
do, but which they would be very
apt to leave undone.
But not many Democrats or Re.
pubIicans know that their party title
means any thing Of this kind; in
fact, great many men who vote
could not tell you why their are
democrats" or why they are Gre.
pubicans." Even "A small boy knows
that this is an absurd state of things.

MATCHMAKING Tronchwomen.

It is amusing to see how thoroughly a
Frenchwoman Is a natural matchmaker,
and how she supposes that the search for a
"bon parti" must be ever uppermost in the
mind of a properly regulated young woman.
At a dinner in Paris given by hostess
noted for tact and elaborate entertainments
the pretty woman, conveying a tall youth,
fluttered up to an American girl, say
ing, "Allow me to present Monsieur n,
Miss X; he is to have the pleasure Of tax
ing you ont to dinner'-adding in a quick
little "aside" behind her fan-"He is worth
100000 francs, my dear" At the table
Miss X. discovered her escort to be uninter-
esting, while her other neighbor, Monsieur
T., proved to be most amusing, though a
middle aged, plain little man. To him she
devoted herself throughout the dinner, con-
tinuing the conversation afterward in the
drawing room, where the neglected Croesus
promptly deserted her.
A short time after, when making her din
ner call, the American girl remarked to her
hostess that she had found Monsieur Il.
such a clever man.
"Oh, yes, quite a clever little man. But
what did you think Of Monsieur n. ?" in
quired madame.
He was rather young, and there didn't
seem to be anything particularly interest
ing about him, replied Miss X, hoping to
excuse her evident neglect Of her escort at
the dinner.
"Ah," exclaimed her hostess, 81 felt sure

soapsnds ON rroubled sea..

A German physician, DIR. Koeppen Of the
Hamburg marine observatory, has been
making a series of experiments to test the
comparative value Of different kinds Of oil
for the purpose Of stilling the waters.
He declares that petroleum or parailin is Of
no use whatever, and olive oil OF little
value. On the other hand, he says that
rapeseed oil and oil Of turpentine have con-
siderable effect, but the most effective OF
all oils is train oil. Not satisfied with these
experiments, he then set towork with other
fatty materials and reports that he found
a solution of soap to be far superior as a
