q There were frequent Bryan demonstra-
tons throughout the day. Tn most dra-
niatlc occurred at the conclusion OF the
fourth ballot. when 1t was apparent that
Bryan would be nominated on the Bext bal
lot. The colors of the states were again
uprooted and the Coliseum for fourteen
minutes shook with the storm OF cheers.
while frenzied men marched and sang hys-
.ericai women became frantic. Until after
the nomination, a sweet-faced, modest look
ing woman sat almost unnoticed in one Of
the chairs to the right of the stage, sur
rounded by a few friends. She retained her
composure midst all the excitement, but
her face glowed with pleasure as she fol-
lowed the proceedings which made her hus-
band famous. Ii was Mrs. Bryan. Imme-
iiately after the nomination, when 1t be-
came noised about that she was there. there
was a rush TO see and congratulate her. but
she modestly withdrew aud sought her
husband.

Many physicians, according to a lee
turer on dietetics, are ordering thin
bread and butter for delicate patients,
especially those suffering from dys-
pepsia, consumption and anaemia, or
any who need to take on flesh. This
thin bread and butter insensibly in
duces persons to eat much more but
ter than they have any idea of. 1t is
extraordinary, says the lecturer, how
short a way a pat OF fresh butter will
go If spread on a number of thin slices
of bread. This Is Il advantage, and
a great one, in the feeding of lnyalids,
for they are thereby provided with an
excellent form of tho fat which is 80
essential for their nutrition In a way
that lures them to take ii without re-
bellion. But the hin bread and hnt-
ter has another advantage equally as
great-it is very digestible and easily
assimilated. Fresh butter made from
cream Is very much more digestible
when spread upon thin slices of bread
than the same amount of cream eaten
as cream, per Sc, would be.-Troy

What do you think of Mr.. Bryan's nom

II consider the nomination an exception

II believe you have said, Senator Teller,
that IL a silver man was nominated at CHI

Yes" replied the senator, II said we

all minor differences and put the country on

Transporting Perishuble Food.

In no more emphatic manner are
modern facilities of transportation en-
phasized than in the safety with which
perishable food is conveyed from a
great distance. In this particular Aus
tralia, South America and the United
States are no further removed from
Europe than a single province form
erly was from the capital of the
try of which it formed a part. Algeria
is now supplying Paris with camel
meat. An extensive plant has been
created in that French colony for the
killing and refrigerating of those ami
mails, and daily shipments are made to
Paris. The meat of the camel is de-
scribed as not unlike beef, with the
tenderness Of veal. The hump is the
choicest portion. Eggs that formerly
were gathered near the localities
where they were sold now come from
distant points. -Four million daily are
received in London from foreign
tries. Most of them come from Rus
STA. They command in England twice
the price they bring in the home a
ket. The export of eggs from Russia
in 1885 amounted to 235, 100000 and
increased in 1895 to 1,250, 100000.
These are official figures. The larger
proportion of this product goes to
England. In addition, great quaint
ties of dressed fowl are annually eI-
ported from Russia TO all European
countries.-New York Sun. -

DAUDET's CHARMING WIFE.
Excels as Housekeeper, TaIker and
Poet, and Is Her Husbands Idol.

A good deal has been heard of AL
phonse Daudet during his stay in Lon
don, says a correspondent of the New
York Morning Journal, but very little
of the wife of the novelist, who was
also with him, so the following au-
thentic particulars about her from a
personal friend may be interesting:
There Is, perhaps, no woman in all
France more skilled in the mysteries
of housekeeping. She is an excellent
conyersationalist, can talk dress" to
perfection with women, has special
recipes Of her own for cookery, and al
together is unpretending. Nine. Dau-
Diet is also a poeteSs of no mean order
and she wries prose with great sue
cess and originality.
In 1878. when lie Nabob' was pub
lished. the author sent his friends a
special edition on the first page OF
which was inscribed; ''To my devoted
and interchangeable coiioborator, my be-
loved Julia Daudet, / dedicate this
book. which owes everything to her.
Nine. Daudet's prose is expressive
and her ideas are original, while In
matters of nrt and literature her
tastes are in accordance with her W
snecial talent. She is, in short, ex-
actly the right woman for n place
TO which her matrimonial destiny mas
assigned her.

ties for communism and lswlessness. Nc.
Kinley and the party he represents have
until now induced Democratic and indie
pendent voters TO look for means by which
they could avoid the necessity OF support

shown to be hopeless and there is no other
way but to offer our support to our old OPP

Charges Against the Minnesota

Cincinnati, July 10. - Ex-State Senator
O'Brien of Minnesota. millionaire lumber
man and horse racer, will appear before
the judges at Latonia tomorrow, 1t is al
legged, TO show why he should not be ruled

Is entirely new In race course Jurisprudence.
and there Is no precedent to go by. 1t Is
considered the most Unique case on record.
O'Brien. 1t is alleged. entered last season at
Latonia a horse named Mary Thompson.
1t made n good impression but never got
above show In two or three races. Then
IL was touted to win In a certain race.
O'Brien, IL Is alleged, under various pre-
fences got II marked up by the bookmak-
crs heavily thar the horse would win. Tf'n
Ii Is said he bet heavily that the horse
would win. Then II Is said he bet privately
all over the grounds through agents that
the horse would lose. Ee won heavily and
collected his winnings. The matter never
reached publicity. O'Brien was at st. Louis
with Mary Thompson AT this years races.
He was called before Judge Carter, who re-
manded him to Latonia. O'Brien admits
that the bookmakers marked up the horse,
but that he Is not responsible for that.
Race horse men everywhere will watch this
case.

ers of sheep generally are using ii in

sheep ticks and scab will 500 be to-
