It appears that Major Mckinley and Mark Hanna wish to depart in many particulars from old customs in the management of the campaign in the matter of expenses, in the assignment of speakers and in the circulation of poIit- 1cal literature. There has been an enormous waste of money in the latter branch of work. The same methods have been followed that were in vogue a quarter of a century ago, before newspapers were widely circulated and when the people were less informed on public questions than to-day. Every campaign change in this respect is talked of but never occurs. It is said that both Major Mckinley and MT. Hanna think this is a good time to abandon the old methods and introduce new ones.
 A campaign without Literary bu- reau" will be relief It will also be quite as effective as if it had the usual literary bureau. It is to be hoped that the torchlight bureau and also the brass band bureau will be omitted from the campaign. We do not suppose that the converts made by such bu- reaus are numerous, and they cost quite as much as it costs the mission ary bureaus to convert heathen.

 Linen is very popular stuff forsum- mer dresses, and it is made up in a
 great variety of pretty ways. Some of it's weaves are styled crash, but this
 stuff comes under the linen classified

It is told of one rider who bought a wheel dress that was not shrunk, that, when a shower came upon her, she had to remove her skirt and use it make sure that the stuff has been shrunk, it is all right.

NOT 4 QUESTION OF GRAm1rAR.

NOT 4 QUESTION OF GRAMMAR,
 It appears that there are people in this highly cultivated town who do not think the asphalt investigation should go on except in strict accordance with the rules of English grammar We do not agree with these purlsts, There are times when grammar is not the main thing, and this seems to be one of them. If the rules of common hon. esty govern the investigation, and if the questions asked are such as an honest man can understand, and clear ly and honestly answer, the purpose of the investigation will be served It appears to us that Alderman Hamilton is honestly endeavortng to get at the facts, and we wish him the success he deserves. His questions are clear enough, and the book needed in under standing and answering them is not a grammar, but bible. And the main question is not whether he is well edu- cated, but whether that contract was well made. Those who are attempting to throw grammar into the eyes of the people will find that they cannot blind them in that way. Alderman Hamil- ton and his committee should perse- were. They need not be unduly solic- itous about grammar so long as they are all right in their arithmetic and their knowledge and application of such of the ten commandments as fit the case.

Pigs and other animals feel inclined to sleep after eating all they can hold and the human animal has the same inclination. But the human animal has been told that it is dangerous to indulge this inclination; that if he does indulge it he may even have apoplexy or something equally discouraging. But now comes the Medical Press, which surely ought to know, and says that it is all right to sleep after dinner. It declares that the idea that it is not all right is based on a misapprehension of the physiological functions of the stomach and brain. And this is what it says, answering the question: Is it harmful thus to fall asleep after a meal? By no means. The process is a merely physiological one, and as such when it occurs is quite natural When digestion is in progress nature ar ranges that all tine available blood in the body shall be collected in and about the digestive organs. Consequently, the blood supply to the brain falls to a low ebb, and thus sleep is easily in ducsd. On the other hand, physiolog- ically, it is wrong for brain work to be attempted immediately after a solid meal.

Light Dresses for Summon.

Almost all the lawn and summer dresses except duck ones are made with round waists and loose fronts, and except for bishop sleeves, they are pretty much the style of last season. Considerable latitude is permitted to individual taste in their construction, but the sleeves certainly ought to be of the bishop shape. Here is an example in to-day's picture, dress of figured batiste, beneath which a silk skirt may be worn or not, as is desired. The waist is somewhat baggy at the sides and front and hooks beneath plastron of all-over embroidery that laps over and fastens at the side, It has no stock collar, but is garnished with a wide turned down collar ending in

Witness Would Not Interpret Chinook to
 Please the Lawyer.
 From the Seattle Post -IntelliSencer0
 A good story was told lately of Com modore March of Marchs Point, Fidal- go island, whose ready wit is well known to the habitues of the Hotel Butler, and Indeed, all over the sound The commodore was called as a wit ness in the Point Roberts dispute be- tween the cannery men aind the Indi- ans, and the lawyer on the other side, with 'what-can-you-d do -about-lt air" put the question to him: How long have you been in this part of the country MT, March?"
 MT. March has pretty chin, and he slaves his white whiskers to each side to show it off. When the question was so suddenly put, he softly caressed the pretty chin and slowly and meditatiVe- ly said, as to himself;
 Forty, forty-five, fifty, and at length answered.: "Fifty-five years
 "Fifty-five years!" said the lawyer. and then, as if he were addressing Christopher Columbus, asked:
 And what did you discover, MT, March?"
 "A dark-visaged savage"
 "A dark-visaged savage, eh? Yes; and what did you say to him?'
 q said it was fine day"
 Fine day? Yes, and what did he say to your"
 MT. March rattled off a whole yarn in Chinook, and kept on to the mirth of the whole courtroom, until perempto- rily cut off by the gavel of the judge.
 q asked you what reply the savage made to you, MT. March. Please an swer the question: said the irate cross examiner.
 "I was answering"
 "Tell us what the savage said?"
 That was what he said"
 "Then tell it to us in English?'
 Not unless I am commissioned by the court to act as interpreter and paid the customary fee"
 The lawyer thought a moment, looked at the judge, who could not re- sist a smile, and said severely, MT. March, you may stand down"

All the secret benefit societies will be deeply interested in a decision which has just been given by the appellate court of Illinois. The case passed upon was that of the Modern Woodmen of America vs. Anna Delers, on appeal from St. Clair county. August Delers was a member of the Modern Wood men. He held a benefit certificate in the order for 5000, payable to his wife Anna Delers, in the event of his death while in good standing in the order, but if he were to be expelled while holding the certificate, the same should be null and void. He was expelled while holding the certificate, and short ly after died His wife brought suit upon the certificate, claiming the ex- pulsion to have been unfair and illegal The order claimed the expulsion could not be looked into by the courts. The appellate court held such cxpulsions to be proper subjects of judicial inquiry and gave judgment in favor of the ben eficiary of the certificate.
 In other words, a secret society can- not legally wrong man, and is not exempt from the operations of the law. Which is reasonable and just.

Up to g. short time ago it was the general notion that the highest habita- tion of man on the globe was to be found in Buddhist convent in Tibet, where twenty-one monks devote their lives to the adoration of Buddha at an altitude of some 1600O feet above the sea level. It has been established late ly, however, that colony of mine la borers, exploiting for a London firm the tin and bismuth mines on Mount Chorolque, in the Bolivian provinces of Chichos, are living in a settlement more than 17,00O feet above tide-water.

Long-distance telephoning in Europe is soon to have great extension. There will be four new telephone cables laid between London and Paris, according to the Paris Messenger, and it is sug- gested to reserve a wire for journalistic purposes during the hours of the even ing. News will be exchanged by teIe- phone connecting the principal cities of Europe, and applications have been made to the postal authorities with this end in view. Germany is increasing her mail and military underground sys- tenn, facilitating by cheap rates it's en- Dloyment for commercial correspond ence. and a connection with St. Peters, burg and Vienna is planned. The Lon doncrs expect to be able to converse with their friends on the Riviera before next season, while Brussels will be in hearing with Berlin and other pron1i- nent places by long-distance service some time next year.
