Quite q Struggle Over Next Place Of Meet
ing, Omaha Finally winning.
Detroit, July 16-The feature Of the
closing day of the Republican League
convention was a struggle over next
place of meeting. Omaha, which had
been recommended nearly unanimously
by the committee having the matter in
charge, had the pull all along. but Bal
timore made an extremely hard fight
for the honor, and the disappointed
Maryland people were not disposed to
give up their efforts even after the con-
vention had recorded itself for Omaha
Chicago, Dallas, and Los Angeles, were
candidates which could be chronicled
only among the ''aiso rams
Secretary M. ]. Bowling, who had
done distinguished duty for two years,
was very easily reelected, according
to the programme Of the principal
slate. and the IlinoiS and Michigan
delegates were unable to make any
great showing for Chaplin and Blakeley,
their respective candidates. There was
no semblance Of contest over the
| nominal position of treasurer. The dis
order Of the convention throughout was
its most remarkable feature. and the
younger and more inexperienced ele-
ments were net b. any means wholly
responsible for il.
The Interruptions Of speakers who
had regularly Secured the floor and be-
gun their remarks were SO common as
to be an almost constant occurrence,
and the tact and energy Of the presid-
ing officers were taxed to preserve sny-
thing like order and keep clear Of parlia-
mentary entanglements. While the en-
thusiasm of the league men was the
cause Of more or less of the chaotic
situation in q parliamentary sense, 1t
served to illustrate their earnest in

William A. Coffin, the landscape painter, in a lecture on art before Q woman's society, made an earnest plea in the furtherance of art for the plant ing of more trees on our thoroughfares. These play great part in breaking the lines of our monotonous or often inooD- gruous architecture. He pointed out that Paris, with climate as rigorous az ours, owes its beauty to great extent to the enrichment that verdure lends it for six months of the year. He counted on the doctors bearing him out in this plea on account of the sanitary proper ties foliage possesses. He remarked that while we are waiting for Baron Haussmann to rehabilitate our thorough fares and make them yield artistic an- gles we can at least render the vista en- compassed by the eye more agreeable by having it presented through horse chest nuts and naples.

MEDITERRANEAN RENTS
Highest at Gibraltar and Lowest on the
 Island of Malta.

Highest at Gibraltar and Lowest on the
 Island of Malta.
 In no place on the surface of the globe is rent so high as at Gibraltar, the req son being that the geographical posi- tion of the town precludes the possibil ity of its being extended in any direo- tion. A long, narrow strip of what was once seabeach is alone available for building purposes, All the rest is pre- cipitous rock.
 Upon this narrow parapet, in some cases less than 100 yards in width, are crowded the homes of 25,00O people. As much as $10 week is asked and obtained for the use of one small room, and this, too, in a place where the nor nal rate of wages is quite 10 per cent less than in America Naturally the overcrowding is fearful, and, the water supply being scarce and intermittent, cleanliness of living as we understand | it is almost impossible.
 No wonder that in the old days the plague and the cholera ravaged the "rock" with a virulence unknown in the filthy and presidential cities of the far east.
 In Malta, on the other hand, house rent is ridiculously cheap. Anywhere outside of Valetta an excellent seven room house can be had for $15 a year, while rates and taxes are unknown The houses are built entirely of the cream colored stone of which the island is composed, and which is so soft that it can be cut with saw into blocks or slabs of any desired size or shape. So while the Maltese builder is digging up his foundation he is at the same time getting out the material for his walls his flooring and his roof.-Philadelphia | Tnnriror

Millions of Frogs Rain Down.

One of the most curious phenomena of nature is the precipitation of frogs, fish, crabs, angleworms, etc.. with rain from the clouds. The story is told in the annals of the French academy and may be found in the August num- Der, 1894. The narrative is by one Pro- lessor Pontus. In it he gives an account of an instance of millions of frogs which fell in shower near Toulouse. He states that he himself saw numerous young frogs on the coats of two gentle men who were out in theashower. Pro lessor Pontus says that he forthwith repaired to the spot where the storm had burst and found the roads and fields literally alive with young frogs and tadpoles. "In some places" says the professor, "they were three or four deep all over the ground, and the hoofs of the horses and the carriage wheels killed thousands of them"

Orchard Cultivation.

An orchard we'll managed may be made to pay several times as much for the land occupied and the labor spent as the best field on the farm. But it will be poor investment if it is neglected and suffered to go to ruin. Cultivation is indispensable to enable the soil to contribute its fertility to the trees. TLe surface must not be left untouched. to become covered with rank weeds or moss, to he bare and barren. There is nothing better than crop of clover. and this should be permitted to die down and decay on the surface. A blow should never be suffered ill an orchard. Only the surface should be stirred, lest the fine feeding roots be injured and the trees checked in their growth. A good narrowing in the fall and two or three in the summer will be all the cul- tivation an orchard requires. mans Rural World.

THE TRUTH ABOUT IT.
What Is the Use of Living if You Can't Be In It9

What Is the Use of Living if You Can't Be In It9
 Yes, Erastus, we have noticed that article in scientific journal advising people to sleep more in order to live long, and to tell you the truth we take but little stock in it. We notice that Tesla, the great electrician, claims that 8 man might live to ba 200 years old if he would only sleep most of the time. And suppose he should What would man amount to sleeping like fat dog in the summer? For all practical pur- poses a man might as we'll be dead as to be asleep. with this advantage in the way of being dead-he isn't in any l body's road.
 Suppose a man lived for 200 years and slept 160 of it. He can only figure out when the thing is through that be has really lived 40 years, and in that 40 he neither cuts as much ice nor has half the fun the man has wLo passes in his checks at 60 and out of the 60 has only slept SO years. Is there any particular object, my boy, in simply lying round asleep for l5O years, wearing out bed clothes and saving a trif1e on funeral | OAPOhSCo! w uOG All bu0T0 16 in life worth living for you get while you are awake. All the time you ought to spend asleep is just enough to enable you to keep awake the rest of the time. Sleep is a necessary evil, just so much good time that you have to give up in order to keep your stomach, liver and other organs in fair shape. Of course we have read good deal about beautiful dreams, when angels hover overhead and all that, but our experi- ence is that this talk is almost alto gether rot. When you are in good phys ical condition, you don't dream. When you dream, the angels aren't in that vicinity. It is when you have filled your interior with fatted swine and boiled cabbage that you retire to sleep, perchance to dream. To dream-aye, there is the rub!-when you feel four headed dog sitting upon your vitals and know that the horned and cloven tailed lwhangdoodle from the barren mountai lof Hepsldam is crawling upon you, breathing smoke and fire, and you are paralyzed or you seem all at once to find yourself in the midst of some gay and cultured assembly with no clothing on your person except perhaps a paper collar and pair of hose supporters and utterly unable to explain to the ladies and gentlemen present why you are there in this decollete costume or to take your departure.
 There is nothing angelic or heavenly about the average dream. On the con- trary, it is hades and repeat. The young man who has to be routed out of bed at or l o o'clock ill the morning may live 8 good while, but the chances are that he won't amount to as much in life as a three legged dog in a jack rabbit chase. The proper thing, young fellow. is to sleep less and get hump on your. self, even if you should pass out before you are 50. One year of life spent in knocking rich. ripe, luscious persim. mons is worth five sleeping in the shade with the worms crawling over your per son and the timber bugs trying to roll
 you out of their way.-Tom McNeal il Topeka Mail
