vENDER OF POLITICAL CHEsTNuTs.

William Mckinley would be great
statesman IL he knew anything about
craftsmanship, n great political econ
omlst II he knew anything about po-
litical economy, a great politician II he
knew anything about politics, and "A
great orator II he had anything to say.
Being densely ignorant OF the living
principles OF statecraft. economics and
politics. and having nothing to say that
has not been said before, he remains
merely a londmouthed, common place
vender OF political chestnuts.
This would not. under some circum-
stances, be a serious matter. There are
lots Of politicians and even statesmen,
so-called, who peddle that sort OF truck.
and still retain the respect of the com
munity.
But the trouble with Mckinley is that
his goods are spoiled. His chcstnuts
are worm-eaten. The grub OF fact has
nested In his antique theories and waxed
fat on their rottenness. The tree OF po-
ltical wisdom has budded. blossomed
and borne fruit since McKinleys crop
was gathered.
People know now that the foreigner
does not pay the tax, that cheap coats
do not make cheap men. that raising du-
ties does not raise wages-in short. that
protection does not protect.
Mckinley is trying to work Off last
years fruit upon a market overstocked
with a new crop.

Health and Ventilation.

One of the sanitary officers of the
Board of Health calls the average house
"a reservoir of poison" From the Fall
closing to the Spring opening OF win
dows and doors the chances of health
are 60 per cent. lower than during the
free and easy life of Summer. 1T is
of vital Importance" this authority
says, that an upper opening be kept in
every living room, kitchen and sleeping
room for the escape of the foul air
emanating from life. labor and decay.
Rooms that are not provided with an
upper register or a window ventilator
can be perfectly ventilated by lowering
the window a fraction of an inch. This
imperceptible opening is regular life
insurance. Cold can only be caught by
the mind. If this precaution is needed
all Winter long, day and night, there
will be a reduction in lung and throat
diseases. In consumptive cases this
law should be rigidly inforced.

Lillian Russell n Scientist

Miss Lillian Russell Is Christian
Scientist. Her sister who has been CIV
Ing treatments for several years Is very
magnetic, convincing talker a close
student and an earnest searcher for
truth Under the spell OF her affection
and influence 1t is not remarkable that
a susceptible nature like the fair LII
lian's should become absorbed. Miss
Russell has been frequent attendant
at the Christian Scientist Church-room,
In Madison avenue. Her friends say
that she quit bantIng when she became
interested, and In accordance with the
scientists doctrine, worked her mind"
and grappled with the theory OF univer-
sal sweetness, brightness, slenderness
and fatlessness. With her success In
working matrimonial membranes on
her mind, the public is already familiar.

THE "BoYs" AND THE BARL.

The campaign is open but the barl
Isn't Whose bar'l. you may ask7 Any
body's. The boys" are enthusiastic and
shout 30 loud Of nights that they are
hoarse as fog whistles in the morning.
Yes, the boys" are hurrahlng like six
ty. But they are not in the campaign for
Kerosene torches or oilcloth uniforms
only. They like the flare of a night
parade and know that they look as
picturesque as a lot of red, white and
blue fire flies as they swing down the
street with their pretty lanterns. But
joys like these are not enough for the
boys"
They are waiting for the bar'l as the
folks In the song waited for the wagon.
They don't care particularly whose barl
II Is, but they want II with the largest
bunghole that's made. and they want
1t to bung-and bung all through the
campaign at that.

A FALSE ALARM.

| Dlstrlct-Attorney Fellows has written
letter giving the opinion that the
adoption OF the Constitutional Amend.
ment OF section 10 OF article 1. which ex.
tends the provision against lotteries TO
| "pool-selling. boolrnaking or any other
kind OF gambling" would stop the bust
ness OF the large Exchanges In the city
OF New York as to purchases OF stock
for future delivery. The District-Attor-
ney says with a great deal of senten-
tousness, ne should feel II his duty in
case the amendment becomes a part OF
the constitution, to present AL such
cases TO the Grand Jury"
Mr.. Franklin Bartlett concurs in the
opinion expressed by the District-Attor-
ney, and says the courts have already
held that "a contract for future delivery
when no actual delivery is intended is a
gambling contract"
Either Mr. Fellows is wholly in error
as to the effect Of the amendment. or he
Is neg!ectful Of his duty as District-At-
torney now.
The law at present is so positive
against gambling that even rallies at
church fairs are held to come within
Its scope. Yet Mr.. Fellows has not pre-
scented the operations on the Exchanges
to the Grand Jury.
Why not2 II those transactions would
be gambling under the constitutional
amendment, they are gambling now.
Does Mr.. Fellows hold that he is bound
to enforce a law only when It Is written
In the Constitution, and not when 1t is
written on the statute books7 II Mr..
Bartlett is correct In his assertion that
the courts have already held Exchange
contracts for future delivery to be gam
bling. Mr. Fellows's present neglect Of
duty is the more glazing.
The whole fuss is a humbug and a
fraud. The business OF the Exchanges
will be no more gambling II the Consti-
tutlonal Amendment is approved and
adopted, than 1t Is now. But the amend
ment would stop gambling on race tracks
as well as elsewhere. and would thus
take from the Jockey clubs and race
track owners the best part OF an in
come OF about two millions and a half
during the racing season.

repay you by taking care while waiting on you.
Don't be foolish; never tip a barber II you
don't expect to return to the same shop.
Don't forget that a tip is an investment-not a

Don't ask a barber to shave your neck: you

Man may live without food several
weeks at stretch and be all the better
for the fasting, but he must have air,
5000 cubic feet Of 1t every hour Of his
life for average health. Fresh air is the
most active agent in maintaining life
and preserving health. Pure air destroys
impurities, just as pure water cleans
the Impure. Foul air is the most active
factor in producing disease and death.
The lungs are composed OF cells. These
cells strain the blood, and in so doing
fill up with the poison vapors or gases
which are bred in the bodies Of all living
animals. Every one Of these cells must
be flushed with fresh air and exercised
daily. The cold bath and the morning
exercise is good beginning, but aside
from this there must be lung-bathing in
the open air.

A Work. Bau,

A pretty work bag, which is really a
set of six bags in one, is a dainty gift
and most useful one, as 1t holds tape,
spools scissors, thimble, and the vari-
Gus furnishings Of the work basket in
compact space that makes 1t espe-
cially of value in travelling. The six
little bags are made of ribbon, and are
about four inches wide and FIVE inches
long when finished. Cover a piece of
cardboard Of hexagonal shape with silk
of the same shade as the ribbon. The
sides should each measure three inches.
Overland the bags together, leaving an
inch or more at the top, gather them act
the bottom and sew to the bottom piece
of covered cardboard, a bag on each
side Of 1t. Draw up each one with silk
tape Of the same shade as the bag. The
little bags may be made of silk, If pre-
ferred, though, in that case, they will
need to be lined. Contrasting colors for
this are very effective.

In answer to the complaint OF my fellow Post
once clerk, I will say It's wonder we get any
show whatever to better our conditions when we
have such men as Mr.. Morgan and Mr. Gayior
and few other stanch Republicans as our supe-
riors. These men, because they have been in the
service many years, think they own the New York

Postmaster to beneht the clerks or carriers, Nor
gan always steps In the way and. with his eco

peet our condition bettered any way while Morgan
