London's Fad For Eating Salt.

Coming home upon the underground
the other evening, read in an evening
paper of a new habit which threatens to
decimate us-the salt habit. People
carry salt crystals about with them, at
which they continually nibble. In time
they lose their hair and eyelashes. Look
ing up from my paper suddenly, I saw
this startling intelligence confirmed. A
man in the opposite corner laid down
his evening paper Gt was the best even
ing paper), and took small packet from
his waistcoat pocket, which he un-
screwed. 1t contained a white granular
substance. Taking pinch between his
finger and thumb, he swallowed it.
Excuse me, sir. Is that saltf" asked,
leaning forward excitedly. He smiled
and pointed to the article Gn the paper.
"Have some?' he said. I took it.-Pal

John Ruslfn's Home.
Brentwood, the chosen lakeside home
of John Ruskin during the last quarter
century of his life, occupies one of the
most favored spots in all England. Sit
uated on the border line of Lancashire
and Cumberland in the lake district, it
overlooks the smallest of the waters in
that lake country" with which the
names of Wordsworth, Southey, Cole
ridge, Lamb, Lloyd and Wilson are in
delibly connected.
Set in the background of half encir-
cling wood of exquisite grace and mys-
tic beauty, as seen in the green half
light of Its tranquil shade, Brentwood
Is protected from the east winds by the
open, rising moorland that stretches far
to the rear and faces a long slope Of
lawn that sweeps down to Coniston
waters edge. Behind the green and
purple moor the water Of its overflow
ing wells runs swiftly down the rocks
with all the fuss of a real cascade, and
the exalted rock of ''Naboth1 rises Just
beyond the borders of his estate-a sort
of natural pulpit which is rented by
Ruskin, SO that from its greater height,
which he loves to climb, he may gaze
upon the wider view. In front the mar
row lake, sparkling in the sun and blue
as the waters of the Rhone or of Thun.
Then the rising banks beyond of broken
green, with white faced houses blink
Ing behind the trees, and the gray viii
lage of Coniston nestling away to the
right, close down by the head of the
lake, and beyond the .'Old Man" him
self towers above the smaller hills that
rise close about his knees.-McClu
Magazine.
Talking and Writing.

THE STATE LEAGUE.
President Everett Warren Talks of the
Work Being Done.

NOIh bSlHS DOue.
Everett Warren, of Scranton. presi-
dent of the State League Of Republican
clubs, came to Pittsburg Sunday and Is
at the Monongohela House, says the
Pittsburg Times. Major Warren intends
joining General ID. II. Hastings and his
party on their tour through Western
pennsylvania this week, and will afford
members of the league a chance to hear
their leader. Major Warren said that
at the last convention of the league in
Harrisburg In September, there were
tWenty-nine counties represented. 1t Is
his ambition to have each of the sixty
seven counties of the state represented
by at least one club before his term ex-
pires, and his work this week will be
toward that end. Said he:
I'VE are trying in every way to get
the clubs actively to work in this cam
paign. We wish to get the members in
touch with the regular party machin-
cry, and not have the league a fifth
wheel to the Republican wagon. To
this end we have urged the members to
put themselves under the direction of
their respective county chairmen. We
want the league to become more of a
factor In the campaign than ever before.
NOT that 1t is necessary to rouse any
more enthusiasm The chief trouble
seems to be to find any enemy to
concentrate against. 1t Is hard to en-
force the necessity OF combined effort
when everything is coming our way.
The. people seem to feel like getting up
and going to the polls alone"
