Na.chiulness Is NcetSsa@T.

Zeal after an election 10 quite a. ca.
sential as before. The cause which
was successful at the polls demands
constant zeal for its practical realiza-
tion. The best agents OF the popular
will are made better by the incessant
watchfulness alone, but support, rein
forcement and encouragement are
necessary. The battle is only begun
when the first line of intrenchments
is taken. The army is quite as neces-
sary in the engagements which are to
follow. The election only determines
public policy. 1t has then to be carried
out. 1t requires the people co opera
ting continuously with tho public Off
GERS to put into the form of law and
administration their declared purpose.
The election settles much or little,
dependent upon how the election de-
crees are interpreted and executed.
The election only declares the peoples
purpose. After this must come the
fulfllment, for the promises OF the
election should always be sacredly
kept. Hero comes "the tug of war"
Then is not the time for relation on
the part of the citizen, but for re-
newed and redoubled effort and vigi-
lance. IT then the people become in
different, you may be sure the public
officer, however strong and true and
we'll meaning, will be inadequate for
the task. The official is quick to
catch the spirit of the people.
Lincoln said, as he journeyed to
Washington in 1861, IN response to
the address of welcome by Governor
Morton, of Indiana, at the city of In
dianapolis:
''In all the trying places in which l
may be placed, and doubtless will be
placed in many such, my reliance will
be upon you, the people OF the United
States, and wish you to remember
now and forever that it is your busi-
ness, not mine alone"

or more significant then and now.

To Preserve the Hair.

"What'll you have on your hair,
sir?" interrogated barber to the man
in the chair. ''Nothing at all? Not
even water? Well, do you know that
you are one man in fifty? The other
forty-nine want a decoction of some
sort to make their hair lay smoothly
and shine nicely. To tell the truth,
though" he continued, in confiden-
tlal tone. "it would be great deal
better for their hair if they also per-
sisted in having their locks combed
dry. Nature has placed a little oil
sac at the root of each hair, the duty
of which is to supply the hair with
natural oil, and make it smooth and
supple. The use of water, bay rum,
oil and other hair dressings takes the
place of this natural oil, and the sacs
soon wither from disuse. And so,
unless the use of dressings is con-
tinued, the hair is liable to grow hard
and stiff. l would advise every one to
discontinue the use OF all hair dress
ing, and have the hair combed dry.
About three weeks of dry brushing
will reopen the oil sacs, and there
after the natural oil will do the work
thoroughly. No, sir, I wouldn't ad-
wise any one to wet the hair in comb
ing it. Bad practice. Next. Now

A Widows Vow.

An English parish clerk, seeing a
woman in the churchyard with bum
die and watering can, followed her,
curious to know what her intentions
might be, and discovered. that she was
u widow of few months standing.
Inquiring what she was going to do
with the watering pot, she informed
him that she had been obtaining some
grass seed to SOW on her husband's 8
grave, and had brought little water
to make it spring up quickly. The
clerk told her there was no occasion
to trouble; the grave would be green
in good time. "Ahl. that may be, "
she replied, ssbut my poor husband
made me take vow not to marry
again until the grass had grown over
his grave. and, having had good of
fer, do not wish to break my vow,
or keep as am longer than l can
help. New York Sun.

Detective Ability.

A some what CHASTITY but quite sue
cessful bit of elucidation is credited
to NJ. Bertillon, the anthropometrist.
On his back, in bed, man was found
the other morning, shot dead through
the mouth. The revolver was still in
his hand. There were doubts, how
ever, whether it was case of suicide,
after all. For one thing, deceased
had never been known to possess re-
volver. OF course, he might have
bought one for the occasion. 1t was
advisable to try to ascertain this, and
it was NJ. Bertillon who hit upon the
way. He had the corpse taken out of
bed, dressed it himself in deceased's
clothes, and set it in deceased's GUS
tomary attitude in his usual chair.
The coiffure was as it used to be, and
the hue of life was brought back to
the face as nearly as stage paints could
make it. Then the revival was photo
graphed, and the photograph was sent
to every gunsmith in Paris. One of
them recognized person who had
bought revolver two days before,
and this witness identified the weapon.

UNFAITHFUL.


II man could rule his love of change would
The purple dignity that wraps the hills;
Pluck out from the blue sky some perfect
star,
And set 1t elsewhere, as his fancy wills.
Train the gnarled apple tree more straightly
up:
Lift violet head, so long and meekly bowed;
With some new odor fill her purple cup,
And gild the rosy fringes of cloud.
For mark! last year loved the violet best,
And tied her tender coiors in my hair;
To-day I wear on my inconstant breast
A crimson rose, and count her just as fair
We are unfaithful. Only God is true
To hold secure the landmarks of the past,
To paint year after year the harebell blue,
And in the same sweet mold its shape to cast.
Oh steadfast Nature, let us learn of thee.
Thou canst create new flower at thy will,
And yet through all the years canst faithful
be
To the sweet pattern of a daffodil.

GRANDMA LAND.

There's wonderful country far away,
And its name is Grandma Land;
"Tis a beautiful, glorious, witching place
With grandmas on every hand.
Everywhere you may look or go,
Everywhere that the breezes blow,
Just grandmammas! Just grandnammas!
In this wonderful country far away
Where grandmammas abide.
In this beautiful, wtching Grandma Land
The good things wait on every side
Jam and jelly cake heaped in piles;
Tarts and candy round for miles;
Just good things here! just good things
there!
In this wonderful country far, afar,
Where blow the candy breezes,
In this beautiful, glorious pudding land
Each child does just as he pleases.
All through the night, all through the day.
Every single child has his way,
Each his own way! Just as he pleasesl
In this wonderful country far away.
In this gorgeous grandma cline
When tired children can eat no more,
There are stories of "Once on Time"
Stories are told and songs are sung,
OF when the grandmammas were young
"Once on Time!' tWell, Let Me See!"
To this wonderful country far, afar,
Where only good things stay,
To this beautiful, glorious Grandma Land
Good children only find the way,
But when they sleep and when they dream
Away they float on the gliding stream
To Grandma Land! To Grandma Land!

The Age OF Trees.

Much speculation has been in
dulged in as to the length of time
during which trees of particular kinds
may live; but anything like an abso-
lutely accurate estimate is obviously
impossible. Approximation to exact
knowledge is all that can be obtained.
Such an approximation, however, is
interesting. and here it is. The cedar
has been known to live 1000 years,
the cypress 800, the elm 800, the ivy
335, the larch SIS, the lime 100, the
maple SIG, the oak 1900, the olive
500, the orange $50. the spruce 1900.
the walnut 900 and the yew 5000. 1t
is not unreasonable to suppose that
some OF the giants of the Yosemite
Valley are older than any CT those
given, their years being almost, If not
quite, equal to those of the period
since the flood, according to common
chronology. The existing cedars of
Lebanon are supposed to be contem-
poraneous of those cut down by Solo
mon for the building of the Temple.
Doubtless there are trees to be seen
in every primeval forest as old as the
Christian era, and some, perhaps, that
antedate the Pyramids of Egypt.
While we look with undisguised awe
aud wonder upon the ancient monu-
ments of civilization, we fail to real
ize that we may have almost every
day within our view, IN the shape of
an aged oak or towering pine, q yet
living and vigorous witness of the
far-off morning of the world. New

Mckinley act our egg exports across
the border ran into quite large figures.
amounting in 1889 to 14,011,017
dozen. oil the value of $2,156, 725.
The five-cent duty of that tariff cut
down these exports to the value of
1924, 355 in the fiscal year ended June
80. 1898. The present duty is three
cents dozen, rate which should not
make it impossible to do an egg trade
of the former magnitude with our
neighbors.
This German bill seems to be gor-
mandizing every little profit that the
farmer used to make. He has lost
money on his wheat, corn and cotton
crops, and now the Canadian eggs are
coming in again, which means more
eggs in the market. Too many eggs
mean too low prices, and no pocket
money for the farmers wife after she
has paid for the chicken feed.

English Cottons Coming.

The returns of the British Board of
Trade for 1894 show that imports into
the United Kingdom n increase ! by $19,-
00O, ,OO1, or nearly / per cent. more
than the imports of 1898. The export
trade fell OF per cent. or nearly
$40, 900, 900 in amount. The decline
in the values of goo Is, it is thought,
will fully account for the shrinhage in
export values, because the volume OF
business was certainly greater than in
1898, chiefly owing to the larger quan
tity of goods shipped to the United
States. In cotton goods the British
exports increased 4 per cent. in quan.
tity and only 81 per cent. in value.

Kleptomania is the polite term for
common stealing when the thief has
money or social position, remarks the
San Francisco Chronicle The latest
instance of this vice of the period
comes from Paris, where rich old
collector of curios looted the Louvre
and stole many valuable arc relics.
If these kleptomanics were treated
like ordinary thieves we should hear
of them less frequently. Because a
man has no Incentive to theft except
cupidity is sufficient reason why he
should be more severely punished than
one who steals from necessity.

Protection i'm the South.

Diversified farming is being enthu.
siastically discussed in the South
where the low price of cotton is driv-
ing the producers to a practical study
of what is best suited for their needs.
They say that the money which they
do get for their cotton must be kept
in the South instead of it's being sent
to other parts of the country for hay,
corn and meat. This is good policy
and policy that, in its broad sense,
should he applied to every part of the
South, to the North, to the East and
to the West. 1t is, in fact, the policy

The new tariff had been in effect
only four months when We imported
almost 26O, 900 dozen more eggs than
during the corresponding four months
of 1898. The money loss to the farm
ers was $29, 642 in this short time,
which is at the rate of three hundred
and fifty thousand dollars a year.
This much money distributed among
the farmers wives would come in
mighty handy during these hard
times, when even the Treasury has
run short and had to buy gold at Il
high rate of interest. The German
