MONEY POWER.

About every other day some philan,

protest against the money power. 1t is

is a great evil, but sometimes we think

time we have been looking for the man

fiuenced by money and must admit he

body Of being perverted In that way,
the accused and all his friends are
prompt to enter vigorous and angry
denial. If we intimate that some high
official has been approached, our theory
is scOrnfully repudiated; if we suggest
some poor, Insignificant fellow, we are
laughed at. Who would buy such a

and pleading poverty; it can't be on high

doctors and ministers and poets. How

LITERARY NOTES.

The ReoieoO Of ReOteoOS for July is a
strong political number. The protraits
Of prominent men of all shades of
politics are numerous and interesting,
and the editorial comment on the
present situation is luminous. The
ReUie,O is the only monthly which is
able to keep fully abreast of all politi-
cal movement and changes: tits never
caught mapping. The action of the st,
Louis Convention on the 18th of June
is already history to the ReoieaO of Re
OiewS which appears on the first day of
July; indeed, that action had been
definitely and accurately predicted in
the number Of the month previous.
The Re0ieoO has shown such POSSIBLE
tiles in political magazine journalism
as had not been dreamed of in the
PHILOSOPHERS of the magazine editor OF
the conventional type.
The most thorough aud authentic
study of Mr.. McKinley's character and
career that has yet appeared in period
ical literature is contributed to the
July ReOie1O Of Re0ieOES by Mr.. E. v.
Smalley, the wellknown journalist,
whose intimate knowledge of Repub-
lican party policies and long acquaint-
ance with the public men of Ohio
render him peculiarly adapted for such
a task, Mr.. Smally was himself born
and reared on the "Western Reserve"
only forty miles from McKinley's Po-
land home, and he writes with full per-
sonal knowledge of the Majors early
environment. The article is well
illustrated.

Training the human Bodv.

By those who VIII exercise the re-
qulsite patience. the body and its vari-
GUS functions may be brought under
perfect command. Even the vital func-
tons of the body may be affected.
There have been not a few exhibitors
who could actually control the heart
beat. making their pulses noticeably
slower or faster according to their
pleasure. The seemingly miraculous
feats of acrobats are simply the results
Of continually placing particular sets
Of muscles under complete control of
the will. We should do well to try to
appreciate how important, to our phys
ical being at least, the gaining of
complete control over bodies may be.
The student who has before him n diff
ficult passage or problem must, if he
would succeed, exercise sufficient will
force to place everything else in his
mind second to the task before him. 1t
is much the same in our daily life. Null
titudes Of petty things tend to make
us forget our purpose in living, and IL
we are to rise above them, we must
remember to unburden our minds of
the worries" that we may have room
for the realities" We must shun ex-
citement of every kind. We must live
an even, temperate life; and we can
do this easily enough If we have gained
perfect control over ourselves.

Not Quito Correct.

In telling a joke, 1t Is well to under
stand it thoroughly. A party of men
were wont to amuse themselves at
table by relating anecdotes, conun-
drums. etc. Mr.. Archer was always
greatly delighted at these jokes, but
he never related anything himself. and
being rallied on the matter, he deter
mined that the next time he was called
upon he would say something amusing.
Accordingly, meeting one Of the wait
ers soon afterward, he asked him If he
knew any good jokes or conundrums.
The waiter Immediately related the
following: "It Is my fathers child,
and my mothers child, yet it is not my
sister or brother" telling him at the
same time that 1t was himself. Mr..
Archer bore this in mind, and at the
next meeting of his friends propound-
ed it. "It is my fathers child, and my
mothers child yet it is not my sister
or brother" throwing a triumphant
glance around the table. Then it must
be YOURSELF" said one Of the company.
"I've got you now," said he; you
are wrong this time; 1t is the waiter"
A shout of laughter interrupted Archer,
who perceiving the mess he had got
into, acknowledged his error, and told
he company that he would pay for the
vine. 1t was his last effort

A Public Reservoir.

1 saw an interesting sight while In
Venice. Entering a little square shut
in by high houses, and. like most Vene-
tian squares. dominated by the unfin-
ished facade Of a time-stained church,
I noticed q singular activity among
the people. They were scurrying in
from every alley, and Fastening from
every house door, with odd-shaped
copper buckets on hoOk-ended wooden
bows, and with little coils of rope.
Old men and women, boys, and girls,
all gathered closely about a covered
well curb in the middle of the square;
and still they hurried on, until they
stood n dozen deep around 1t. Pres
emily the clock in the church tower
slowly struck 8. and a little man forced
his way through the crowd, passed
his ponderous iron key through the
lid. and unlocked the well.
There Immediately ensued a scene Of
great activity. The kettles went jan
CLING into 1t, and came stopping out
again at an amazing rate, and the
people trudged of home, each with
a pair of them swung from each shoul4
der. The wells are deep cisterns. which
are filed during the night, and it is
out of amiable consideration for those
who love their morning nap that they
are given as good a chance as their
neighbors of getting an unsoiled sup
ply. 1t is the first instance that has
come to my notice of a commendable
municipal restraint upon the repre-
hensible practice of early rising. I
found, on closer investigation. that the
water was of excellent quality.

Where the Snake Boards.

The prairie maTmot and the bur-
rowing owl come into neignbolY
contact with the rattiesnake, but
the acquaintance does not quite
amount to friendship The prairie
maImot takes a lot of trouble and
builds nice burrow, and then the
owl, who is only a slOvenly sort of
architect himself, comes along and
takes apartments. 1t has never been
quite settled whether or not the
loJger and the landlord agree
pleasantly together, but in the alb
sence of any positive evidence they
may be given credit for perfe II amia-
bility, because nobody has found
traces of owl in a dead marmOt's in
terror, nor of marmot in an owl's.
But the rattlesnake is another tn ne.
He waits till the residence has been
made perfectly comfortable, and then
he comes in himself, not in the
frieadly capacity of lodger. but as a
sort OF unhOlly writter-a scaly man
in possession. He eats the marmot's
family and perhaps the marmot him
self. curling himself up comfoIt tabIy
in the best part of the drawing-room.
The owl and his belongings he
leaves severely alone, but whether
from a doubt as to the legality Of dis
training upon the goods of lodger,
or from a certainty as to the lodger's
goods including claws and beak,
naturaliSts do not say. Personally 1
incline very much to the claw aud
beak theory, having seen an owl Kill
a snake in a very neat and workman
like manner, and indeed the rattle
snake sometimes catches a Tartar

Armies ON Ice.

Army engineers in various countries
have calculated the thickness Of Ice
necessary to sustain certain weights.
Ice two inches thick is deemed strong
enough TO bear a mans weight, ac-
cording to a summary Of the army
rules on this subject published in En-
cheering Mechanics" and on such Ice
infantry may march If the distance be-
tween each man Is properly spaced.
Cavalry and light field guns can cross
Ice four inches thick. Six-inch Ice
will sustain heavy field guns; eight
inch ice artillery batteries with horses;
and ten-inch Ice IAN army or an innu-
merable multitude" On fifteen-inch
Ice railroads have been laid and Oper-
ated for months at time.
