AAletter from a gentleman in Louis
vilbe,says Congressman Clardy is be-
ing discussed as suitable man for
temporary chairman of the coming
convention. No better selection
scould be made. DIR. Clardy is a we'll
equipped parliamentarian, having
filled many positions as presiding
officer requiring knowledge of parlia,
mentary procedure. He represents
the Democratic section of the state
and, being a farmer, is close to the
pulse of the people themselves. His
selection would give universal salts
faction to the country Democrats. DR..
Clardy is the best man yet suggested
for the position.

Good Health


And a good appetite go hand in hand.
With the loss of appetite, the system
cannot long sustain itself. Thus the
the Notifications of good health are
broken down and the sGstem is liable
to attacks of disease. 1t is in such
cases that the mecical powers of
Hoods Sarsaparilla are clearly shown.
Thousands who have taken Hoods
Sarsaparilla testify to it's great merits
as a purifier of the blood, its power to
restore and sharpen the appetite and
promote healthy action of the diges-
tive organs. Thus it is, not what we
say but what Hoods Sarsaparilla
does that tells the story and consti-
tutes the strongest reconciliation that
can be urged for any medicine. Why
not take Hoods Sarsaprailla now.

DANGER IN ToYs.

vey Infection.

vey Infection.
The reading public is by this time
fairly conversant with the ordinary
sources Of danger from contagion to
which it is exposed and it has been
duly warned to avoid the indiscrim-
mate use of hair brushes and towels
and of the ear pieces of the phono-
graph; to touch not with ungloved
hand the brass guidhg-rail of the
street car and to be suspicious even
of the telephone transmitter.
But, according to a medical jour
nal, the latest hazard in infection is
confined to children. Many ingen-
ious toys are now offered on the
sidewalks of city streets by timer
ant vendors. One of these is a tube
of paper furnished with short piece
of bamboo at one end, up to which it
is coiled by the action of a slight
steel spring. On blowing into the
bamboo the coil is unrolled and
shoots out nearly a yard and the
sudden extension has a comical
effect, very entertaining to the
youthful mind. Another form of
toy is the miniature bagpipe, which
is made to emit it's characteristic
sounds by the pressure of air from
small rubber ball which has been
inflated by air blown from the
mouth.
Attention is called to the possible
consequences of buying these toys,
which are presented to a child after
being inflated by questionable
breath, and perhaps wetted witt
the moisture of the still more cues

Photographing Flying Tnsects.

The French artists appear to have
gotten the art Of photography down to
a much finer basis than those Of Amer-
lea and England. They were first TO
photograph flying bullets, race horses
in motion and other rapidly moving OBJ
iects. The latest triumph reported
from Paris is q photograph Of q flying
dragon-fiy by NJ. Marcy, in which the
exposure was the .1-25, 900 part of a see-
ond. BY the aid of small electric
lamp inside the mouth OF an assistant,
Marcy also claims to have photographed
the moving g1obules of blood circulate
ing in the veins, and to have detected q
difference In the motion of the colored
and co1orless corpuscles.

ance in Immediate contact with the
electrodes or terminals of the circuit.
But this has just been found to be an
erroneous conclusion.
Mr.. Andreoli divided small vat into
three apartments by means of porous
partitions. Into the ends OF this vat,
where his electrodes were immersed,
he poured solution of common salt,
and into the central portion one of cy-
anide Of gold. The current being
turned on, the same action occurred at
the terminals which would have oc-
Cured had there been but a single fluid,
the one first named, and no partitions.
Salt is chloride OF sodium; at one pole
therefore, chlorine was liberated, and
at the other sodium. the latter, how
ever, combined with the water to form
hydroxide, or caustiesoca. No change
occurred in the cyanide solution In the
meantime until several clean metal
plates were dipped into the middle COM
partment, parallel with each other and
with the ends of the vat. The. liquid
in the central receptacle was now cleo
trolyzed also, and the gold was depos-
ised on the baser metal, as in ordinary
electro-plating, although there was no
metallic connection with the terminals.
This phenomenon is called secondary
electrolysis' by its discoverer. He is
inclined to think that it may have prac.
tica1 uses in the arts.

HINTS ABOUT NAPERY.

SIX DAMAsK tablecloths, with nap
kins to match, are a sufficient supply for
ordinary use, as a set of napkins may
be allowed to two tablecloths, If the
family is small.
A PRETTY idea for a room where the
colors will harmonize is to have the
buffet cloth, table center, tray cloth
and carver's cloth all of pale pink or
eeru linen, embroidered with white,
BUFFET cloths, which are included in
the list of table linen, are usually made
of plain linen, hemstitched and dec

AN economical housekeeper who has
some fine damask tablecloths that are
beginning to wear out may convert
them into tray cloths by cutting out
the best parts, hennming them and fin.
ishing with torchon lace.
THE unbleached will prove much
more durable, as the chemicals used to
whiten the damask injure it in some
degree. The faint yellow tint of this
fax is not objectionable, and a very
few visits to the laundry will bleach il

THE FARMING WORLD.
FiRsT-cLAss BACON.

- -
An increasing Demand which is of Inn
portance to Farmers
This country is fast becoming a ma
ton OF bacon eaters, and the demand
for bacon Is very much greater NOW
than 1t was only a few years ago. ms
demand leads to a well defined call 9or
bacon breeds OF swine and those breeds
which can be depended on to produce
meat well streaked with lean have
prospectof becoming ve.y popular, The
bacon made lii America has hitherto
been too fat to meet with great favor
In the markets Of the world. In Ell-
rope, Danish bacon has first place, while
fhat Of Canada is taken In preference
10 that from this country. This IS
because of the greater amount OF lean
meat in the product of these countries
| as compared with ours.
he American swine breeder has been
paying most of his attention to pro-
ducing weight without regard TO what
| their weight was made ofsHand, as q
consequence, American pork is largely
pure fat, and it is not uncommon TO
| find American side pork that has no
| lean at all in 10. The favorite Breeds
| in America have been bred to this
weight ideal, until they are largely fat
producers, and very few of them are
good bacon hogs, and he who desires
to produce first-class bacon must choose
his breed carefully. Aafew years ago
the Berkshire produceEs good Bacon
but The rage for great weight and the
habit of getting this by feeding heavily
on corn to the exclusion of more nitrog-
enous foods, has made this breed a fat
producer instead of good bacon breed.
1T Is altogether possible to breed back
TO the old-tiIne qualities, but this is q
work of time, and to meet the present
demand other breeds must be looked
for. The. Yorkshires are a frst-class
bacon breed, and promise to obtain
Ipopularity that they have not had be-
cause Of this disposition to produce
well-strealsed bacon. The Tamwortha
are also good breed for this purpose
| and are largely bred in England for
bacon, but IN this country they have
not been as widely introduced as the
Yorkshires.
Feeding has something to do with
producing bacon, and If the farmers
of the country win feed more nitrogen
| GUS foods and not SO much corn, they
will go a long way toward making good
bacon with the breeds now found on the
farms of the country. While corn will
| probably remain the standard food for
| hogs, they should be given wheat or
1aiddlings, bran, oats, grass, milk and
other lean-naldng foods, and receive
| less corn In their rations. If hog is
| well fed, and by that we mean properly
fed, so as to make size without being
made fat, 1t can be finished on corn and.
make very fair article Of bacons but
if it has been grown and fattened on 2
diet that is almost exclusively corn,
1t can never be made to produce first
class bacon. Farm News.

which made 1t q comfortable fit.
At the second turn they were thrown
against the side of the barrel, and be-
fore they had turned half dozen times
they were sorry they hadn't taken
Uncle Johns word for 1t and not tried
It themselves. Over and over they went,
bruised and beaten about till they were
almost insensib1e, and there was noway
ofsstopping their .steed until the foot
of the incline should be reached.
Had they been capable of hearing they
would have heard great shout from
Tom Winters and have wondered what
1t meant When the barrel was about
half way down it struck large stone,
which, instead Of stopping it. turned It's
/ course to the west, and Tom was horTi-
I fed to see it steering for the pond. The
water wasn't very deep, but even ID
shallow water two boys cooped up in a
barrel stood very little chance of saving
themselves. It was then that Tom
shouted, and, taking to his heels, fol-
lowed the misunderstanding tub as quick
as he could run. But, of course, he
could not reach the pond before the bar
rel. The boys inside were unconscious
of their danger, but they were not un-
conscious Of the many somersaults they
had turned, nor of the many bruises
they were receiving.
With crash and bang the old tu5
came in contact with another large
stone, and In minute the new convey
ance was in fragments, and the boys,
followed by some of the stayes, were
thrown into the pond by the impetus
which they had gained. Fortunately,
Toms call had been heard by Uncle
John, and he was on the spot in mar
yelously short space of time, consider
ing what a sedate bachelor he was. II
was well that he had not entirely for.
{ gotten his athletic training, too, for the
poor, bruised boys would have found il
very hard work to get themselves out
of the water, and Tom Winters couldn't
swim. In fact, there was not square
inch of space on their bodies that was
not black and blue.
Uncle John was blamed for this adj
venture because he had suggested it by
his story. He says even If the boys are
| his nephews, they are the most stupi6
pack themselves in tight and select g
smaller and less stony hill for their ride
