st. Louis, June 16-Auspiciously and Sc
senely, beneath a sky across whose arched
dome not a cloud fioated, the chieftains Of
the Republican party, from the pineries OF
Maine to the orange groves of California;
from the everglades of Florida to the placid
waters of Puget Sound, met in council to-
day and in the presence of about 5000
spectators, entered upon the task of select

the campaign of 1885, The first session of
the J.epublican national convention was
therefore formal. Chairman Carter, of the
national committee, dropped the gavel at
1920 o'clock and sixty minutes later an adj
journment was taken until 10 o'clock to-
morrow. There was not jar during the
proceedings, there were sensational In
cldents to arise, nor any demonstrations to
thrill the vast concourse of people.
The temporary chairman, @. w. Fair
banks Of Indianapolis, delivered his adj
dress, q strong, forcible statement, an ar
raignment Of the present administration
and refinement of the issues; the COM
mittee selections of the various delegations
were announced-that was all.
The galleries are adorned at intervals
with the coats-of-arms Of the various states,
while in conspicuous places hang portraits
of Grant, Lincoln and other heroes of the
past. The galleries to-day were well filled
but not crowded. it being estimated that
about 5000 persons were present. The
campaign clubs which had marched to the
hall to the clangor of martial music were
present in uniform and very large pro-
portion of the spectators were ladies. The
band in the gallery over the platform en-
livened the brilliant gathering with pop
ular airs at intervals

Hide and Seek.

A pastime In which all the cats de-
light Is hide and seek behind the pill
lows of bed or sofa. In the drawing
room there are some old fashioned d.
vans against the wall with several cush-
ions set upright, which have been the
playground Of generations Of pets; the
mothers begin by playing with their
kittens. the kittens keep 1t up together,
and teach IL to younger sets. The point
of the game is which shall see the other
first and surprise her by a cuff on the
nose. which stands for II spy. /" When
two play, It is simple enough. but when
there are three or four ono always re-
mains outside the cushions to seek, and
by degrees the little pink nosed white
faces peep between the cushions with
the inimitable and provocative express
sions Of q kitten at play, and the seeker
is surprised by tap. II she be on the
alert, the hider sometimes vanishes. and
sometimes they try which can get with
In the others guard and give the first
whack.
M Hiss was particularly fond Of hide
and seek, and established mode Of
playing 1t with us while we were at
dinner. She would hide ON the window
sill behind the long winter curtains
which are dropped in the evening. and
would peep out at one side or between

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshheld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years ! have been
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, d. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
aud laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though | am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your S.S.S. long ago,
would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease aud forces it out perma-
nently.

THE BREAD OF THE WORLD.
What This Important Food Il Made OF In
Different Countries.

What This Important Food Il Made OF In
Different Countries.
In England and Americawhea bread
Is within the reach Of all, and scarcely
Is thought given to the fact that only
small portion Of the earth's inhabit-
ants enjoy it. 1t is only during. the last
century that wheat bread has come into
common use A hundred years ago
wealthy families in England used only
a peck of wheat year and that at
Christmas, eating oat cakes during the
remainder Of the time.
The German "pumpernickel" is a
rye bread with curious. sour taste, but
after eating 1t awhile one acquires quite
taste for it. It is less nutritious than
that Of wheat. In the poorer parts of
Sweden the people bake their rye bread
only twice q year and store 1t away, SO
that eventually il is as hard as bricks.
Farther north still barley and oats be-
come the chief bread corn. BIt in the
distinct north is where man Is put to
thought to provide himself with bread.
In Lapland if a man trusted to grain he
would starve, SO the people exc out
their scanty store OF oats with the inner
bark of the pine, and after grinding this
mixture it is made into large fat cakes,
which, after all. are not half bad.
In dreary Kamchatka the pine or
birch bark by itself, well ground, pound
ed and baked, constitutes the whole of
the native bread food. Bread and butter
is represented by dough of pine bark
spread with seal fat. In certain parts of
Siberia the people not only grind the
pine bark, but cut Off the tender shoots.
which procedure must give the bread an
anpleasantly resinous flavor.
In Iceland the lichen isscraped off the
rock, made into bread puddings and put
into soup. In Russia and China buck
wheat is pressed into service. It makes
palatable bread. though of dark vic
let tinge
In Italy and Spain chestnuts are cook
ed, ground into meal and used for bread
and soup thickening. Millet furnishes a
white bread in Arabia. Egypt and India.
This grain Is credited with being the
very first used in breadinaking.
Rice bread is still the staple food Of
the Chinese. Japanese and Indians.
In the Indian archipelago the starchy
pith of the sage palm is made into bread.
and In parts Of Africa the natives use a
certain root for the same purpose.

We ought never to be willing to live
any year just as we lived the last one.
No one is striving after the best things
who Is not intent ON an upward and a
forward movement continually. The cir
cular movement is essential. too-the
going around and around in the old
grooves, daily tasls-yet even in this
treadmill round there should be constant
progress. We ought TO do the same
things better each day. Then in the
midst Of the outward routine our inner
life ought to DO growing in earnestness,
in force, in depth. ii. K. Miller.
