THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION.
General Harrison Explains How It Was
 Made by the Peoule

|
 E4-President Harrison paper in The Ladies Home Journal of This Conn try of Ours" series treats eomprehen- sively of the constitution and it's annli. cation and operation, defining the in- strument, its scope and Limitations clearly. "The word constitution. 'o he writes, "as used among us implies a written instrument, but in England if Is used to describe governmental sys- tenn or organization made up of charters as the Magma Charta-the general acts of parliament and body of long established legal usages or customs, These are not compiled in any single in- strument as with us, but are to be sought h many places.
 The common American usage in making a state constitution is to elect by popular vote delegates to conyen- tion, whose duty it is to prepare plan of government When the delegates have agreed and have properly certified the instrument, 1t IS submitted to q di- rect vote of the people, and each voter casts ballot For the constitution or Against the constitution. If amaiorify vote for the constitution, it then be- comes the paramount law of the state. The legislature does not make the con stltutlon; tha constitution makes the legislature. The American idea is that constitutions proceed from the people in the exercise of their natural right of self government and can only be amended or superseded by the people Whatever one legislature or congress enacts the next one may repeal, but neither can re- peal or infringe a constitutional provi- sion.
 The delegates to the convention that framed the constitution of the United States We're not. however, chosen by a popular vote ill the states, but by the legislatures. Nor was the question of the adoption of the constitution submit ted ill the states to a direct popular vote. x There have been 15 amend ments to the constitution adopted Ten of these were proposed to the legisla- lures of the states by the First congress and ratified. The other five amendments have Ill like manner been submitted by congress to the state legislatures for rat itication, conventions in the states not having been used in any case. It will be noticed also that the vote upon the adoption of the constitution and upon amendments thereto is by states, each state, without regard to it's population, having one vote. But while these proyi- sions make the popular control less di- rect than is usual ill the states and nee essarily recognize the states in the proc ess of making and amending the eonsti- tuition, the idea that constitutions pro eeed from the people is not lost.

The Swiss Pike.

The name of the Swiss is generally identified with the long pike of the IS foot shaft. and most gallant attempts have been made by recent writers to prove that this celebrated weapon was a Swiss invention and employed by the eonfederates from the first. The point, however, Is one that must remain un- certain, for the earliest mention of the long pike is found in an order addressed in 1927 by Count Philip of Savoy to the burghers of Turin, and no one can tell whether the Sayoyards borrowed it from the Swiss or the Swiss from the Savoy ards. The primitive weapons of all in fantry seem to be the spear and shield. The Milanese fought with such spears and bikes eight or ten feet ill length at Legnano, the Scotch at Falkirk and the Flemings at Courtrai, So that it is impossible really to predicate Of any one nation that it added the requisite num- Der of feet to make the weapons shaft ill order to make it d long pike. There is no mention of bikes in tho battles Of the Swiss until Sempueh, and 1t is prob able that in that attlon they were not above ten feet ill length. Macmillan g Magazine. 5aL51

vLADIvOSTOK.
An Interesting Pen Picture of the Russian
 City Tn Siberia


 City Tn Siberia.
 Vladivostok has the aspect of an in- ferior Hongkong, of about quarter the slze. Hills crowned with forts rise round It up to height of 500 feet. It lies on the south side of a peninsula 20 miles long, called Maravief Amursky. in 43 degrees 6 minutes 51 seconds north lati- tude, and l31 degrees 54 minutes 2f sec. onds east longitude. The town is be- tween four and five miles loug, but is struggling and uneonnected, and of no breadth. Some streets are very steep, and all are horribly dusty in dry weather, being never watered, and being contin- ualiy crossed in all directions by dros- kles driven at smart pace. Instead of paEements the streets have sidewalks" of blanks, as commonly seen in new American cities. You take six stout blanks, some 25 feet long, and lay them side by side, and you continue the proc ess for the requisite number of versts or miles (three yersts are two miles). and the sidewalk" is complete, save for few props and nails where the ground is too soft, or the foundation degenerated into holes.
 The droskies are driven by redheaded snub nosed Russian izvozchiks In low glazed stovepipe hats. with very curly brims, red sleeves, plaited black skirts and high boots. In them one often sees, lolling as passengers, couple of frowsy Chine3e or still frowsier Korean. The fare is only 80 kopecks, or shilling and Is pence, an hour, or over half an hour and from point to point there are ten penny and fiyepenny fares, according to distance. The regulations forbid charg ing more, but. with fine irony, allow the driver ito take less, if he likes {" He may not leave his cab to take care of itself, may not .'sing, make noise or cause disturbance" he must temper his pace to town trot, !" and "keep to the righthand side of the road. "
 The troika has dashing look; the horse ill the middle trots under the arch ed dnga, whose object and effect, when properly put oD, are to keep the shafts at the same distance apart The small horses right and left are cantering, and their bodies incline little outward from the car. In Vladivostok are few complete triple teams; generally there are only the middle horse" trotting, and one other eantering on its near side.
 The water barrel on wheels drawn by horse or bull and often driven by a sol dier is frequent sight, carrying water up to the forts and to the upper town. A funnier horse vehicle is the sit astride, cushioned beam on which izyoz- ehik and eloaked and spurred officer sit, with dangling legs. one behind the other, the officer behind. -Fortnightly Review.

LEMONS AS MEDICINE.
Many a Cure Is Effected by These simpl
 and PalatabIe Remedies.

Many a Cure Is Effected by These Simple
 and PalatabIe Remedies.
 Lemon juice sweetened with loaf or crushed sugar will relieve a cough.
 For feYerishness and an unnatural thirst soften lemon by rolling on hard surface, cut off the top. add sugar and work it down into the lemon with a fork, then suck it slowly.
 During the warm months sense of coolness, comfort and inyigoration can be produced by free use of lemonade. For six large glasses of lemonade use six large, juicy lemons. Roll on hard surface so that the juice can be easily extracted. Peel and slice. Add suffi cient sugar to sweeten and stir it well into the juice before adding the water.
 Hot lemonade will break up cold if taken at the start. Make it the same as cold lemonade, only use boiling water instead of cold water aud use about one- half as much sugar.
 A piece of lemon, or stale bread mois- tened with lemon juice, bound on a corn will cure it. Renew night and morning. The first application will pro- duce soreness, but if treatment is per sisted in for q reasonable length Of time cure will be effected.
 The discomfort caused by sore and tender feet may be lessened. if not en- tirely cured. by applying slices of lem ons on the feet
 To cure chilblains take a piece of lemon, sprinkle fine salt over it and rub the feet well. Repeat if necessary.
 Lemon juice will relieve roughness and vegetable stains on the hands. Aft CT having the hands in hot soapsuds rub them with piece of lemon. This will prevent chapping and make the hands soft and white, Philadelphia Times.

A MESSAGE FROM THE GALE.
Listening on the Ice F1oe to the Roar oi
 the Coming storm.


 When the swell is heavy in the ice pack, it is often very difficult to ascer- tain from which direction it comes, and just as difficult as it is just so impor- taRt may it be that it should be found out rightly, as the safety of the ship might wholly depend upon correct judg meHt as to this. When the huge ice masses begin to move and screw and press on the sides of the vessel, rising and falling i'll heavy swell, then there is only one escape-namely, to work the vessel into the fields away from the side from which the gale blows. A mistake as to the direction of the running swell has cften proved fatal. and the mistake IS easily made.
 An old arctic sealer told me how in hours of dread in the arctic ieepack he had laid his ear down to the ice foe and listened to the roar of the coming swell that terrible message from the furious gale-and how he thus had discovered whence the gale was pressing and had been able to save the ship from destruc- tion. 1 tried his method and found that it worked admirably. What is we'll worth noticing is that open water nearly always is to be found ill the ice pack on one side of icebergs. The icebergs that we met were generally i'll motion, car ried onward ny the ruling current. Of ten they ran forward ill the icetields at a speed of several knots, piling up the huge Hoes before their cold, ghttering bows. but behind them they left an open sheet of water large enough for any ship.
 Now, there would of course be many dangers for vessel tugged along in the ice pack by such a floating monster, but I believe nevertheless that this method might be instrumental ill saving yes sel from being crushed when the icefeld is moving heavily.--C. E. Borehgrevink in Century.

The Populists.

Never in the history OF this country did
more disgraceful aggregation get to-
gether than convened at St. Louis last
week in the name of the Peoples party.
Poverty, anarchism, socialism, populism,
free silver gone wild, deluded manhood,
prostituted womanhood, anti-every thing
were represented.
Here are a few specimen paragraphs
called from the platform adopted by these
political maniacs. )
First-We demand a national money,
safe and sound, issued by the general
government only, without the Intervention
Of banks of issue, to be full legal tender
for all debts, public and priva.e; Just,
equitable and efficient means of distribut.
ing direct to the people and through the
lawful disbursements of the government.
Second-We demand the free and unre-
stricted coinage of silver and gold at the
present legal r4tio of Is to /, without the
consent of foreign nations.
Third-We demand that the volume o.

Attack on the Supreme Court.

Both the democratic and populist parties
attack the supreme court through their
platforms. The Chicago platform boldly
criticises the supreme court for its decision
adverse to the income tax, and declares,
"we are opposed to life tenure in the pub
lie service" In other words the demo-
cratic party would elect judges to this court
for term Of years, making reelection de-
pendent on popular favor.
The populist platform reads: "We de-
mand graduated income tax, to the end
that aggregated wealth shall bear its just
proportion Of taxation, and we regard the
recent decision of the supreme court rela-
tive to the income tax law as misinterpre-
tation of the constitution and an invasion
OF the rightful powers of congress over the
subject of taxation"
A populist convention sitting in judg.
ment over the supreme court! Both these
parties attack the highest tribunal in the
land, and could the constitution be amended
might elect to the bench once graced by
Marshall and Story, men like Altgeld
Tillman and Donnelley.

Vermont Democrats.

Vermont Democrats are in deep, deep
hole. In their state platform they have de-
clared for gold standard; the national
platform has declared for the free and un-
limited coinage of silver. Party fidelity
requires that at the September election they
vote for DIR. Jackson and gold, and in
November for Bryan and silver. This
gives only two months in which to consum-
mate complete flop. Will they flop?
