How many democrats are there here now supporting the bolting ticket who expressed their regret last April that they could not support their county man because 1t would tend to strengthen the silver cause? They took part in the pri- maries with the intention of sticking if they won. Did they intend to bolt If they lost? And is that preserving their parity with honest" dollars? How they would have howled if any man had insisted on voting in the primaries for the silver side. although declaring his intention to do so if 1t did not win at Chicago.

You do not tell him (your employer) that if he does not vote according to your opinion you will quit working for him; and yet you have just as much right to tell him that as he has that you have got to quit working for him if you do not vote as he want you to.-W.

Birmingham has one railroad that is Bryan to the core. It is the Bessemer and Powderly dummy, and, by the way, it is one of the oldest short lines that reaches the city. It is not as wealthy and handsomely dressed as some of the others, but runs regular and on schedule time. A handsome engine now hauls this dummy. and branded on Its sides is "W. J. Bryan" in attractive letters.

The fight this year is between the com mon people and the aristoeracy of un- earned wealth; between the men who pro- duce and the men who enjoy; between honest labor and avaricious capital; be- tween men who pay and the men who evade fair taxation; between the masses and the classes; between right and wrong; between justice and injustice.

Miss Amelia Kussner, the American girl who has made such success of min iature painting that she has achieved fame even In the artistic centers of Eu- rope, reached our shores a few days ago on the steamer Normandie. The story of Miss Kussners triumphs reads like TO- nance. She was plain, little country girl, without the advantages of study or training. yet she gave evidence of such wonderful genius as a miniature painter that she immediately, after going to New York to reside, became famous among the most critical judges of art. The preserv- ing of likenesses upon ivory, which was feared by many to be lost art, has been revived by her, and many of the most nota ble women of this country and of Eu- rope have been painted by this rarely gifted American girl.

Butter and Cream as Medicine.

One Of the Iavorite remedies Of ply
siciaus is cod liver oil. and Why is one
Of the mysteries CT the world Of laedi-
cine, when &ll there l. about it is an oil
or fatty substance IS wanted that is
easily digested and quite IS easily as
simulated, GSh ell being appropriated
with Z small outlay Of digestive power.
Why cod liver oil. a product Of the de-
composition OF fish refuse, should ever
have been chanced upon when butter
and cream are nauare's supply and at
once the most readily obtainahle Is un-
exp!ainable. While any one can take
cream or batter the consuming OF fish
OIL requires the fC-GGIde of saint and
the heroism Of martyr, and, as we
know, the oil does not agree with many
and Is hard Of digestion in others. Now,
il has been demonstrated that fresh, un-
salted butter Is rather more digesdbie
than oil and is pleasant 10 take, On
thinly cut slices Of bread, and as high
as four ounces a day Of this butter can
be eaten with inipunity by even deli
cate persons, and cream can be taken -
the full desire Of the patient. Where
one is recovering from pEOstrGsing sick
ness AID the body needs nOurishment
this fresh butter. it is now asserted, has
no equal in buibiing up the wasted tis-
sues Of the body, and as a stimulant
very hot, fresh milk is without a rival,
outside OF the use of alcohol, which
last is better LETT alone, when possible.
Growing children may be greatly beue-
fted by indulging in generous amounts
OF butter, though it may seem exp5n-
sive, but it may prove the cheapest IL
the end. Either Of these remedies can
be taken witboUt a Doctors prescrip-

has found remarkably efiicaciOus IN
treating weak invalids and delicate chill
dren. This was nothing moro than the
eating of an unlimited amount Of mar
row. Every day large quantity of the
bones containing marrow was ordered
from the great markets. The only prep
aration necessary was to warm the
marrow sufficiently 10 enable it TO be
easily spread on bread. Then, with the
addition q 4 little salt to render it
more palatablc, it was ready TO do its
work Of regeneration. Under this treat

That 1.-THE French are a good natured
people and make easy masters" was
niSert Louis S;evenson's S conclusion
when be had studied the various pro
.e.torates that serve for goye-,'nents in
.he south sea islands. The MaSIuesas
group, for instance, is under French
control. Mr.. Stevenson tells IN In the
South Seas" how he visited the Gala
bcose at Tai-o-hae-the port OF entry
and found it empty.
From this noontide quietude il must
not be supposed the prison was unten-
antcd. The calaboose at Tai-o-hae does
a good business. But some of its oceu-
pants were gardening at the residency,
and the rest We're probably at work up
on the streets, as free as our scavengers
at home, although not SO industrious.
On the approach Of evening they
would be called in like children from
play, and the harbor master, who Is al
so the jailer, would go through the
form of locking them mp until 6 the
next morning.

town, whether of pleasure or Affairs, be
has but 70 unlock the window shutter,
and if he is back again and the shutter
decently replaced by the hoar OF call or
the morrow-he may have met the har-
Dor master in the avenue-there Will be
no complaint, far less any punishment.
But this is not all. The charming
French resident, N. Delarnelle, carried
me one day TO the calaboose on an ON
cial visit. In the green court a very rag
ged gentleman, his legs deformed with
the island elephantiasis, saluted Us,
smiling.
