All eyes are turned toward st. Louis,
where the clans are now gathering for
the Republican National Convention,
which meets next Tuesday. The nomi.
nation of Major Mckinley, which has
been foreshadowed for weeks, is now
conceded by all. This result will no
doubt be reached before the close of
the first ballot. AS to the second place,
strong efforts will be made 10 induce
Speaker Reed to accept it, and in the
event of failing in this, which now seems
probable, as his friends declare he will
not accept the proffered honor, there are
two or three others prominently named.
Hon. Garrett A. Hobart, of this State,
stands an excellent chance of being NOM
mated, a selection of which every Jersey
man might we'll feel proud. AS to the
platform, it will no doubt declare for
sound money, with the probable declara-
ton for bimetallism as soon as it can be
secured with International agreement.
The silver element will most likely make
a strong effort in favor of some declara-
ton for the white metal, but the sound
money men will not permit the party in
the present crisis to be delivered to the
free silver contingent. Strong ground
will probably be taken for the great
American principle of protection, with a
declaration in favor of reciprocity with
such nations as will afford a market for
American goods. With Mckinley as the
the standard-bearer, and a platform con.
structed after this pattern, success in
November will be an assured fact.

III POOR SLOTH.
He Has Poor Chances In the Great Battle
of Life and Deserves Sympathy.

of Life and Deserves Sympathy.
I never see a live sloth without feel
ing sorry for it, for truly they all de-
serve sympathy, and plenty of it. Had
l been born a sloth I would want to sue
nature, or in some way collect damages.
Take Hoffman's sloth for example. 1t
is II of the largest of them all, but it
is too weak and helpless to be put into
such a wicked and dangerous world as
this has O become. Its countenance
is a picture of innocent stupidity, and
as it looks at you its dull eyes and ex-
pressionless face say to you, as plainly
as words: "Pity mel I cannot fight. I
cannot run away. I have no defensive
armor, no spines, nor anything worth
mentioning. 1 am too big to live in a
burrow, and even if l were not I have
none, nor the tools with which to make
bne. ! am at the mercy Of everything
and everybody. Why is this thus? Why
am | here?"
] give it up. This creature is a rid
die hat I cannot read. Being only a
shortsighted mortal, it seems to me that
the sloth should have been better equip
ped for the battle of life, or else left out
of it altogether.
The sloth lives, moves and has his
being by hanging underneath the small
er limbs of trees, and eating leaves and
fruit. He is the slowest animal on rec
ord, and for speed in travelling a long
journey, say, from Il side of a treetop
to the other, the tortoise is a lightning
express in comparison. 1t takes a good
fieldglass to enable you to see him
move. His hair is coarse, wavy and pre-
cisely the color of gray moss, or rough
bark, although sometimes it supports a
minute vegetable organism which gives
it an olive green hue. His feet are sim
ply four hooks, by which he hangs him
self very comfortably when feeding in
the upper story Of a forest, but in walk
ing On the ground they are worse than
useless. But the sloth has nc use for the
ground, and never goes near it of his
own accord.-William T. Hornaday in
st. Nicholas.

Do Texas Foxes Climb Treese

A correspondent of a sportsman's pa
per declared recently, "There is little
sport to be had in hunting foxes il Tex
as, because they climb trees in 10 or go
minutes after the dogs start them." The
foxes in England are often driven to the
trees by the eager dogs, but they do not
climb in the sense that a squirrel or bear
does. They jump to the lower branches
of the trees and by their aid work them
selves up to the top branches. A fox can
get into a tree that is no higher than s
feet to the lower branches, and it is
probably by jumping that the Texas fox
gets into the trees.

Reflex Action

in Rectal Diseases is such that none but an expert in
chronic work can determine the seat of disease that
gives rise to so many complaints. WeIl-defned
symptoms of Locomoter Ataxia, Heart Disease,
extreme head trouble, Kidney Complaint, Epilepsy
of long standing. and Female Complaints in an
aggravated form, have all been found to have their
origin in complicated diseases Of the rectum. Yet
the true cause had not been suspected by former
doctors. 1t is astonishing how much trouble a fssure
or rectal ulcer will produce. Time and money are
wasted in ~doctoring unless the cause is removed.

WHAT QUALITIES ARE MOST ESSENTIAL

Christianity, integrity. fidelity and all
the graces of character are all adorn-
ment of both sexes, and the individual
precedes and includes the man and

true woman will have all the qualities
that distinguish the true man, but the
essentials of ~womanhood must of
necessity have their source in sex The
first lesson, then. for the girl who aspires
to true womanhood. will be to learn to
reverence her sex and to maintain perfect
physical health.
Morality and even Christianity may be
maintained In spite of physical suffering,
but perfect womanhood must have the
basis of sound health, for upon the per-
feet performance of all physical functions
rests the ability to conduct all the duties
of the woman and her capacities of wife
