Next to the discovery of William Jen-
nings Bryan himself the most surprising in
cident of the campaign thus far is the dis
covery of the fact that in January, 1896, he
addressed a letter to the managers of a
theatrical company in New York asking for
the position of press agent. OF the fact
there is no doubt. The person to whom the
letter was addressed has declined to show
It on the ground that he was a school
friend of Mr.. Bryan and it would not be
fair, but he admits that he has the letter
in his possession. The application was de-
clined on the ground that the company did
not need a press agent at that time. 1t
seems incredible that a man who is now
a candidate for President of the United
States should, only six months before his
nomination. have asked for the position OF
press agent to a theatrical company. In
that capacity it would have been Mr.. Bry-
ans duty to travel from place to place,
look after the advance notices. of the
company, attend to placing its advertising
matter on the dead walls and Dill
boards, and see generally that it was
well treated by the press. Eventually he
might nave gone on the stage. The posi-
ton is an honorable one according as 1t
is honorably filled, but it is not on the road
to the White House. The surprising thing
about it is that any man. twelve years
after his admission to the bar, should de-
sire to quit the profession of law for SUCH
a position. True, Mr.. Bryan had previously
quit the law to take the editorship OF a
third-rate paper, and when he made this
application he was "out of a job but one
would think he would have preferred to
return to his original profession rather
than enter an entirely new field. If he had
got the position he applied for 1T would
have taken him out of politics and he
would now be in the theatrical line instead
of the presidential line. However, ne Is

Hard and Soft Water for Cooking

q "All cooks do not understand the diff
ferent effects produced by hard and soft
water in cooking meats and vegetables, "
said a thorough housewife recently,
"Peas and beans cooked in hard water
containing lime or gypsum will not boil
good and tender because these substances
harden vegetable caseine. Many vege-
tables, like onions, boil nearly tasteless
in soft water, because all the flavor is
boiled out. The addition Of salt often
checks this, as in the case Of onions,
causing the vegetables to retain the
peculiar flavoring principles besides such
nutritious matter as might be lost in
soft water. For extracting the juice of
meat to make broth or soup, soft water,
unsalted and cold at first, is best, for it
much more readily penetrates the tissue
but for boiling whore the juices are to
be retained hard water or soft salted
water is preferable, and the meat should
be put in while the water is boiling, so
that the pores may be sealed up at once.

Summer Coats.

Loose coats are the prevailing style
for outdoor garments. They have been
seized on as relief from the monotonous
cape, and are one Of the principal OK pres
sions of chic for the summer. The loose
coat is a little longer than the waist,
quite loose all around, and is plain or
plated, according to the material or the
taste. 1t will be seen most often as part
Of serge, cloth and flannel gowns, since
these have jacket, but it is made also
in taffeta and lace as part of afternoon
dresses, with delicious effect.
China silks are used in the making Of
ultrafashionsble reception cloaks, a
fsvorite shape being with the bell sleeves,
which are frequently made Of cashmere
as combination, while the skirts hang
from square or pointed yokes, orns-
mented with lovely embroidery or
iridescent or jet passementerie. e.-LGdieS'

What True Friends hip Means.

Between friends there must be close
sympathy, and one must be able to give
to the other what she lacks, but even
between those friends who are nearest
and dearest it is not necessary to lay
bare ones heart. Such confidence is too
apt to be greeted with curious salts
faction, and even from friend this graft
fication makes one feel as if ones bruises
had been touched with vitriol. A real
friend asks no questions. She takes the
best that comes, the best that is in you,
the best that you care to offer her, and
demands nothing more. She has long
ago learned, being wise, that to all Of US
there comes time when nothing should
be said; it is true there is time when
something should be said, but there is
never time when everything should be
said. There is very often silence be-
tween two women friends that means
rest, and she is unWise who breaks that
silence. Ruth ASbmOre IN Ladies'

Our HOuse.FIy Under the Microscope.

Our HOuse-Fly Under the Microscope
The head Of our common house-hy is
a very pretty object. The greater part
is occupied by two large reddish-brown
hemispheres, one on each side. These
are the compound eyes, and each Of them
consists Of several thousand separate
hexsgonal lenses, arranged so as to cause
an appearance under the microscope like
the engine turning on the back of q
watch. Between these compound eyes
and quite on the top OF the head are a
trio of small, clear dots, arranged in q
triangle, like set jewels. These are
the simple eyes and their exact purpose
does not seem to be thoroughly under
stood.
In the front of the head are the an.
tennse or feelers, and each consists Of
three joints, with a feathsred bristle
arising from the back of the last joint.
This bristle is an important aid in the
Identification Of the different species Of
flies, in some kinds being quite simple,
in others beautifully plumose or feath-
cred, as in the common species now
occupying our attention.
Below the head Of the fly may be seen
projecting the long, thick tongue or
proboscis, which is a very wonderful
structure, 1t is a true sucker, but a
very complicated one, made up Of several
pieces, united so as to form tube,
which not only serves for the conveyance
Of the fluid to the mouth, but also for
the passage of saliva from the mouth in
order to moisten and dissolve particles
Of the substance upon which the fly is
feeding. At the tip of the proboscis are
to be found hardened rings, which aid
in triturating the food.-Kit-KGt.

The WIckednesD Of Sleeping.

That idea was almost dominant in
religious society sixty years ago, and
sometimes assumed forms which, If not
ridiculous, were at least quaint. 1t was,
for instance, held to be wrong for any
but the aged to sit in essy-chairs; not, as
is now vainly imagined, from any igno-
rant idea as to the injury done to the
figure, but because "lolloping" betrayed
q blsmeworthy tendency to ease and
self-indulgence. That was the origin
also Of the extraordinary prejudic Q
against taking any extra sleep. The old
knew we'll that sleep, when sleep is not
needed, is to the young the most Weari-
some of all obedienoes; nevertheless
they believed that to wish to sleep more
than strictly regulated time, which,
according to modern hygeists, was too
short, was a mark Of sluggish self
indulgence, and it was visited, there
fore, with moral reprobation.
Early rising was extravsgantly praised
not because it heightened the day, for
the early risers went to bed early, but
because it was disagreeble, and some
curious rules of diet-fur example,
abstinence from sugar-were defended
in part upon the same principle. We
have known girls cut off their curls
avowedly because they were proud Of
them, and men go about in shabby
clothes because, as they averred and
believed, it was we'll by diminishing COM
fort to promote serious refleotion.-LOD-

Paper Making.

For the art of paper making the world
is indebted to the Chinese, who, with
their usual liberality when dealing with
their own historical dates, assign it's in
vention to a Chinese King about 1900
years ago. AS matter of fact, it was
probably made 10 China before the
Christian era. The invention was taken
to SsmRrcand, whence it was introduced
into Europe in the seventh century. In
7l2 the Saracens were making paper in
Spain from cotton fiber. Its use became
general a little later, and most of the
bulls Of the Popes in the eighth and
ninth centuries are written on cotton
paper. Linen and cotton rags instead
Of raw cotton were first used by the
Sarscens, and the earliest dated doc
umeut on linen paper is a treaty be-
tween the Kings Of Aragon and CASTLE,
in TIT. Over 700 materials have, it is
said, been used experimentally in the
manufacture of paper, but cotton, linen,
straw and wood pulps are now the
principal articles employed. - Globe

Treatment for Ivy Poisoning.

A friend who is very susceptible to
poison oak or ivy, and who has suffered
terribly from it, tells me that the best
thing he has found is the tincture of
grindelis. Dilute it with about three
parts o. water and bsthe the affected
parts. 1t should be applied as soon as
the irritation is felt and before the
characteristic pustules appear. Applied
at this time, it will prevent the forma-
tion Of the pustules and soon check the
irritation. But IL not applied until the
pustules appear it will only prevent the
formation Of new pustules, and thus
check the spesding Of the affection to
other parts. The pustules that are
already formed will simply take their
course without spreading. The diluted
tincture should be applied to the
affected parts as often as two or three
times every hour.-The American.

The expression "under the rose," or

Of Venus. According to another &C.

How the word '.TeetOtaIer, was Coined.

How the Word "TeetOtaler" Was Coined.
The late Rev. Joel Jewell of Troy,
Penn, is said to have originated the
word "teetotaler." The story goes that
at a public temperance meeting in
Hector, N. Y, in 1928, he introduced
into the pledge the letters 30. P"
old pledge" which pledged against
distilled liquors, and ST." for "totsl,"
including both distilled and fermented
liquors. When names were being taken
q young man in the gallery said: "Add
my name and a IT, for I am T-totaler."
Mr.. Jewell adopted the word in speeches
and writings. Some four years later an
EnglishmRn named Dick Turner en-
ployed the word, and its origin has also
been claimed for him.-JUne Ladies'
