HER SECRET.
How n Lady Who Was Thin bccrmc
Plump and Healthy.

Few ladies' wish to become abnorma'ly
fat. but there are thousands or women
who would give nearly all they possess
to increase their flesh. and to look plump
or. more robust, and healthy. They realize
that a little more flesh would greatly I'M
prove their looks.
ut is certainly strange how dilhcult IL Is
to increase your weight" said lady re-
Gently. Il know it by my own experience
For months | took various patent ioods
and other preparations. but It was all use
less. | kept as thin as ever. Finally a
friend persuaded me TO take little pure
stimuant at meal-tlme. and the result
was decided TO try pure malt whiskey.
The result was simply marvellousl ! could
notice an increase i'm my weight the frst
week. and what is more. II greatly I'M
proved my health. | am completely cured
of the weak. tired feelings from which
used to suffer. and l owe 1t to Duffy's
pure malt whiskey."
Thousands OF ladies' tell n similar story
to that related above. BY the use OF Dur
fy's pure malt they have gained new life,
vgor and strength. Its great stimulative
nourishment has built them up, and en-
dowed them with stock OF health such
as they never before enjoyed. For round
ing out thin figures. and giving fresh
color 10 pale. worn faces IL is unequalled.

while bimctallism has Republican friends,
1t has enemies, too. and they are very
powerful.
Mr.. Chandler has done some very
frank talking of late. and we shall be
interested In watching his course In the
Senate for some time to come. We look
TO him TO lead the forces OF bimetallsm
there.
BY the way. Mr.. Chandler was by no
means candid In telling his English read
ers who the men are who supported Mr.
Bryan. Henry Cabot Lodge who can
vassed the West I'm the interest OF Nc
Kinlcy. upon returning TO Boston just
before the election, said he was sur
priscd TO find that the frce-silvcrites Of
the West were men OF New England
stock. while he had learned that the
mass OF foreign-born citizens were gold
ties. And I'm the South we all know
that the supporters OF Bryan were men,
for the most part. whose ancestors nave
been the owners OF the soil from pre-
Revolutionary times. a careful analysis
OF the vote for Bryan and that for Nc
Kinley will. therefore. disclose nothing
of which we Democrats need be ashamed.
However, Mr.. Chandler, in the article
in question. speaks as a Republican and
as a partisan. and we presume he con-
silers It none of his business TO vaunt
another party than his own.

WHERE NAMES DIFFERED.

Anent the present discussion about ag-
gregating votes in cases where the re-
turns show a variation in given names,
It occurs to us that our distinguished
friend. Judge Staples. had an accident
Of that sort to happen to him.
In 1850 he was an elector upon the Bell
and Everett Whig) ticket. but in some
cases he was voted for correctly, as
Waller r. Staples, and in others as Wal
ter r.. Staples. Two Of Judge Staples's
associates upon the ticket-John T.
Thornton and Walter Preston-were also
unfortunate. The trouble originated in
the printing of the tickets.
The result was that the State Board
Of Canvassers was at a loss TO know
whether to aggregate the differing re-
turns Of votes or not; but, upon the ad-
vice Of Attorney-General J. Rondolph
Tucker the board decided that 1t was
its duty 10 treat the differing returns as
If they were for different men.
The State had been won by the Wings
by a narrow margin only, and the re-
suit of this was that three Democratic
electors were awarded certificates. But,
if we remember Alright, these gentle
men all declined to serve, and thereupon
the remaining electors chose Messrs
Staples, Preston, and Thornton TO fill the
vacancies in the Electoral College, with
the result that the entire electoral vote
of the state was given to Bel and Eve
rett, in conformity with the result Of the
popular vote.

The West Virginia Legislature will meet
on the second Wednesday in January,
and the Nforgantown correspondent Of the
Baltimore American writes that the ses-
sion will be very busy one. He says
that early in the session it is likely that
a bill will be introduced looking TO the
appointment OF bipartisan committee TO
frame a new State constitution. Lead
ing men of both parties have come 10
recognize that, as the State grows, there
are TO be found many defects in the Con-
stitution which are a hindranoe to It's
progress, and there has arisen demand
for a speedy remedy. lie also says that
the present school-book law. known as
the Morris law. because Of the author OF
the bill, will certainly be repealed. and
the stirring times which characterized
the session of the Legislature when the

by the usual schemings Of the lobbyists,

According to the Chicago Tribune, the
peanut, which has for so long been the
popular feature of circuses and fairs, Is
now creeping into use as an article OF

ways In which 1t may be used:

ORR PORTAGE AND THEIRS.

The Times seems well satisfied with
ifs adaptation of the death in the pot
story as applicable TO the Chicago plat
form. 1t will not admit that its use Of
the story was either irreverent or I'M
proper. The Times. we think, has con-
WINGED itself. but not the public. But let
that pass.
What IL does not attempt TO explain
is how II was that many Of the men who
cried ont that there was death in the
Chicago pot and bolted did not eat Of
the pot they afterwards set up at India
napolis. If that little brass pot con-
tanned DEMONSTRATING herbs, why didn't
the sons of the prophets eat of that pot
tage? why did they run off and eat of
the Mckinley pottage? They could not
have repudiated the Indianapolis pot
more severely. had it contained broth
made after the recipe of that of the three
witches in Macbeth"
The remarkable distaste that many of
the disaffected Democrats showed for the
humble. but wholesome. herbs in the
great Democratic pot, and the refusal of
these to taste of the contents OF the
indianapolis pot. also, would indicate that
they were not seeking Democratic dishes
but were hungry for the fat things OF
Eanna's board.
If they would rather have been there
than with the $4,000 Virginia Democrats
all right. But we have good reason to
believe that the recollection of that feast
brings no pleasure to many. and that at
our next great family gathering these

prnE PLAY roa CHILDREN.

Every now and then we see evidences
OF reaction against the tendency TO
machine methods in education. and the
disposition to overwork children In their
classes and regulate their exercise by rule
and compass. In one or two Instances re-
Gently leading medical authorities have
given attention 10 this subject In articles
in medical journals. and few days
since l.. Harlow Russell, principal OF the
state Normal School at Worcester,
Mass. delivered n most practical and IN
teresting address upon II. Among other
things Mr. Russell said that the normal
condition Of childhood was one of great
muscular activity, and what was re-
q.ired In the care OF school-chlldren was
short periods Of mental exertion and long
periods Of rest. But the rest must be
pure play. unrestrained by regulations.
Change from one kind Of mental eNer-
else 20 another was not rest, the speaker
contended. Neither was rest a change
from study 10 an exercise like gymnas-
tics. or marching or movements OF the
body in accordance with certain rule
or form. as all these required mental
exertion. In order TO emphasize his
conviction that not enough play was
permitted to children attending school.
and that present methods were sapplng
the foundations OF vitality in the rising
generation, the speaker remarked that
no would carry pure play ito the verge
OF insanity and to a point where the
parents would complain that their chill
dron were not doing anything"
Mr.. Russelrs contentious are we'll
worthy of the thoughtful consideration OF
both teachers and parents.
