What enormous fellows and what
dish men and women arel Nowhere will
you see such noble specimens of adult
humanity as in Stockholm streets.
The feature seems to pervade all classes,
though it is not least striking among the
nobility. Six feet is a common height
for a man here, and really do Hot be-
lieve l exaggerate in saying that men of
6 feet 3 or inches are as abundant in
Stockholm as men of 6 feet with us.
The tallness of the women is Just as
noteworthy. You remark it less, how
ever, because they are so well proper
toned. They say it is easy to tell by
the size of the boots outside the doors
which rooms of hotel are occupied by
the Swedish fair. This is a very endur-
able hit at the Swedish ladies. Though
they do wear skies or sevens in shoe
leather, no sculptor would find fault
with them on professional grounds
Moreover, they have most winsome
compilations, and of course blue eyes
are nowhere more intensely blue than
here.
1t is comforting to know speak on
the evidence of one of the pensionnaires
that Swedish maidens have a great
admiration for English bachelors. They
read French novels, but they believe in
English bridegrooms. The blood bond
still exists, | suppose, between them
and us.-Cornhill Magazine.

THE President has again suffered
defeat at the hands of the Senate in the
failure to secure the confirmation of his
appointee, Mr. Peckham, to the Associate
Supreme Judgeship. What effect the
non-confirmation of Peckham will have

Cleveland will back down and appoint
some man satisfactory to the Senators
from his own State, or whether he viii

remains to be seen. But it is a Demo
cratic fight, and fight for blood, too.

The Puzzle Solved.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled
and baffied the medical profession more
than nasal catarrh. While not immedi-
ately fatal it is among the most nauseous
aud disgusting ills the flesh is heir to,
and the records show very few oE no
cases of radical cure of chronic catarrh
by any of the many modes of treatment
until the introduction of Ely's Cream
Balm few years ago. The success of
this preparation has been most crafty
ing and surprising. No druggist is
without it.

BIRDs.-Among birds, the swan lives
to be the oldest, in extreme cases reach
ing 300 years; the falcon has been known
to live 162 years. An eagle died in 1919
which had been caught 104 years before,
and was then quite old. A white-headed
vulture, which was caught in 17OS, died
in the aviary at Schoubrunn, near
Vienna, in 1926. Parrots live more
than a century. Water birds have a
long life, exceeding that of several gen.
erations of men. Ravens also live over
a hundred years In captivity magpies
live from 20 to 25 years, and still longer
in freedom. The common hen attains
the age of from Is to 20 years. Doves
live 10 years, and the little singing birds
from to IL years. The nightingaie's
life is the shortest, 10 years being the
longest, and next comes the blackbird,
which never lives longer than Is years.

om1o's YOUNG REPUBLICANS.


Cleveland Leader.
The proceedings of the annual con-
vention of the Ohio Republican League
on Tuesday, show that the organization
is enjoying vigorous health, and that its
members are determined to continue the
fight for Republican principles.
The young men comprised in the
membership of the clubs forming the
league are the bone and sinew of the
party. They never faIter in their ad
herence to the doctrines of protection
honest money, and fair elections. They
have done good work in the past anG
they are bound to do better in the future
Now is the time to form the lines fol
the campaign of 1894. Every township
and ward in the State ought to have a
Republican club before the first of July
and every club now in existence ought
to be strengthened in membership before
that time. The young men ought to be
made to see that their interests lie with
the Republican party-the party which
cHucdNOlo W piOlnOIC Iuc lltoIcSC VI oil
the people without discrimination in
favor of any section or class.
The Republican League as an organi-
zation has nothing to do with its party's
caucuses or conventions. Its purpose is
to secure the election of Republican
candidates after they are nominated
1t is vast army of young, active, and
energetic Republicans, always ready to
take the field and do battle with Democ-
racy. 1t is therefore worthy of the
earnest support and encouragement of
every Republican who desires to see his
party win glorious victory this fall and
start tidal wave which shall sweep the
Democracy from power in 1896.
Give the young men chance and
they will turn the rascals out.

ASIDE from the necessary appropria
tions for the maintenance of the State
institutions and some legislation il
reference to taxation, which under the
Constitution it seems We can not have
the State of Ohio could get along very
well without single new law added tC
our statute books. 1t is worse THAI
silly to go on piling up laws on every
conceivable subject under the sun, laws
that are never heard of and consequently
unenforced, bscause they are unneces-
sary and unknown. A great deal OF
time has been consumed during this
session of the General Assembly in dis
cussing a skunk bill and chicken hawk
bill. There are subjects doubtless on
which legislation is needed, but it seems
that those subjects usually escape the
attention of our law makers, or skunk
bills take up so much time that none
remains for necessary legislation. II
the Legislature would devote itself ex-
clusively to repeating half the useless
laws now in force and not enact a single
new one they would merit and receive
the lasting gratitude of the people OF
the State. A people the least governed
is the best governed, but the people OF
Ohio do not come in here.

ONE cause of bad roads that is too
frequently overlooked is the character OF
the soil on which the road is located
In building highway if some attention
were paid to the soil and its drainage
qualities, even mud roads might be made
a great deal better than most of them
are. A road that will drain is always
better than one that will not, yet drain
age is too little considered. A hillside
road will drain, yet road is seldom
run along hillside if there is any wet
bottom ground near enough on which
to locate road. The writer has in
mind a piece of road which is not better
constructed than the common run OF
roads, but in building that road some
attention was paid to its location for the
purpose of drainage, and being well
rounded up in the center, even in wet
warm winters, that road never becomes
bad in comparison with other roads. II
we cannot yet build.macadamized roads
we can, if we will, make what roads we
have better by exercising little judg
ment in building them and keeping
them up.
