The reports from Was hington are
that the cares of public life and the
persistency of Republican Office seek

Washington this week for a few days
rest. BY leaving Washington Mr..
Mckinley may get away from the cares
of State, bnt we doubt very much the
possibility of finding place SO Sc
cluded that he will be free from the
molestation of the pie hunting crowd.
The hungry horde is growing fercer

FITS IN CHILDREN.
How TO Relieve the Sufferer Quickly.
Causo of the Trouble.

How TO Relieve the Sufferer Quickly.
Cause of the Trouble.
A convulsion. or spasn, is seldom 30
rious. In children there are many
causes Of commissions, and the serious
.sss Of any given case depends wholly
on the cause, not on the convrlsion or
the spasm itself
Children often have commissions from
an overloaded stomach or from sud
den chill, just after eating, which stops
the digestion. An emetio is what is
needed in such case. A half teaspoon
full Of salt dissolved in one-third of n
cup Of warm water, TO which half tea
spoonful of ground mustard has been
added, and tho whole given at dose,
makes the quickest, safest and best
emetic in such case or in a case of poi
soning.
The so called worn fits" often come
from undigested food in the stomach
and can also be relieved by such an enc
tic. Treatment for oonvulsion Of this
sort while it is in progress is not of
much use and often does harm. II is,
us a rule, better TO manage spasm in
child the same as an epileptic fit in
an adult
In epilepsy remove the patient if nee
essary to some place where there is no
special danger of his getting hurt,
loosen the clothing on the neck and
chest and then let him alone. Keep ev-
cry one out of the way and give him
plenty of breathing room, and on no nc
count try to hold him still nor stop the
conyulsion. You cannot do it II you
try. 1t is sometimes well to put a large
fat cork or thiokly folded cloth be-
trziaan tha tnoth to kasn the tongue from

The Amer Of Afghanistan.

The ameer of Afghanistan is one
of the most autooratic monarchs in
1.-The world, Not the car of Russia
or the sultan of Turkey is more alb
solute in authority. Yet he is, or
makes himself, curiously subject to
the will of the people in some re-
spects. A few years ago he greatly
desired to visit England and other
European countries, and the British
government was anxious that he
should do so. But he did not ven
ture to do SO without the consent of
his people. So he took plebiscitum
on the subject. He sent proclama-
ton to every village in his empire,
telling what he wanted to do, and
explaining the advantages that
would accrue to him and to the en-
pire from such tour, and asking
the people to take vote on the sub
iect and let him know the result.
SO the question was submitted to
universal suffrage. After a few
weeks the returns were all in and
were counted, and it was found that
a considerable majority of the peo-
pie were opposed to his leaving the
country. He was disappointed, but
acquiesced in the will of the people
and staid at home, sending his Sec
ond son to England in his place.

human hair can tell in moment

The sundew, an Interesting Specimen Of

! Godey's Magazine has this to say
about plants that eat meat: lone Of
the most interesting of the insectiv-
ora is the sundew. The five or six
small leaves lay close to the ground,
and each of them bore a crown of
dewdrops, which sparkled in the
sunshine like rubies and diamonds.
A slender scape sprang from the
rosette of leaves, and from one side
of it dropped some small white f1ow-
ers
"Sundew is the poetic name given
it because of the CLEANS of the gem
hike drops on the leaf surfaces, but
in spite of its beauty it is little
savage of vegetable life. Most plants
absorb nourishment from the soil

mutton and hard boiled eggs if they
are fed to it. 1t does not keep

number of tiny reddish tentacles,

little gland, to which adheres drop

while watching the sundew we
saw gay little fly in gauzy coat
draw near lowering over the leaf,
he lightly poised himself above it
and prepared to sip the viscid drops.
In a moment his feet were entan-
gled and he was a prisoner.
"The second the feet of the insect
press ever so lightly the glands-the
motor impulse, as it is called-fies
with unimaginable rapidity down
through the tentacles, communicate

at once bend in the direction of the
exciting object-the fly in this case.

touched the tentacles that wonder

protoplasm, which flows unceasing-

masses of purple matter floating in

on the leaf a little to the left of the
center, and the tentacles nearest
him naturally bent first and deposit

was gradually rolled to the center.
Meanwhile every gland secreted
a digestive fluid which is strongly
acid, and is, so far as can be ascer-
Identical with the digestive
fluid of animals. This fluid poured
over the fly, drowning him, the ten
