Political Support.

An old chronicler tells of a pretty in

Washington voted at all the Fairfax
elections until the close of his life, uni
formly supporting the Federal candi-
dates.
Although he lived at Il distance from
the court house at the Alexandria mar
ket, he generally voted early in the day.
The polls We're reached by a flight of
steps outside the building, which in
1893 had become very shaky from old
age.
When Gen. Washington reached
these steps, he placed one foot upon
them, and shook the crazy ascent, as if
to discover how much strength was left
in it. Instantly twenty brawny arms.

made by means of an improved DINA.
mOmeter by DIR. J. n. Kellogg, of Bat.
tie Creek, Mich. The doctor concludes
a paper containing elaborate tables of
scientific measurements. with the fol
lowing summary: l. The strength of
the average woman, in comparison
with her weight, is less than two thirds
that of the average man, as compared
with his weight .. The strength Of
the average woman. in comparison
with her height, is only four-fifths that
of the average man. 3. The total
strength of the average woman, rs
compared with the total strength of the
average man, is 80. The weight of the
average woman, as compared with
that of the average man, is SO. The
height of the average woman, as com
pared with that of the average man
IS 80. 1t thus appears that the average
woman, while less than the average
man in height, is still more inferior III
weight, and presents a still higher de-
gree of inferiority in strength. A conf
parative study of men and women be-
tween 40 and 80 years of age would
possibly show women to be somewhat
inferior in weight.

One Of the most curious results Of
the craze for bicycling is TO be OBJ
served in the ancient city Of Coventry.
1t is, as is well known, the center of
the bicycle manufacturing industry of
England There has consequently
been a great rush of mechanics thither,
To meet the demand of the workshops,
and the city is unable to accommodate
properly this addition to its popula-
ton. Every available house is filed
with tenants, and yet there are home
less men on the Streets-induStriOu
workingmen, with money in their pOck-
cts. but unable to find vacant lOdg
ings. The health officer reports that
more than 5000 houses are so over
crowded as TO be in an unsanitary
condition, while the vaccination law
has become practically a dead letter
from the physical impossibility of exc
cutting it. Hundreds of new houses
are going up as rapidly as carpenters
and masons can build them, but they
are only a small fraction of what is
really needed, and in the meantime
workingmen are camping out in tents
and imprOvised sheds. And all because
of a style of riding which good Lady
Godiva never so much as dreamed of.

1t is reported from New York that
the Protestant Episcopal Church has
decided to invade the evangelical field
now occupied exclusively by the Sal
vatiOn Army and the Volunteers. The
new army, 1t is said, will be under the
same form of military discipline and
will seek to make converts in the same
way from the streets. 1t will include
the best features of the Salvation Army
and Church Army of England, from
which the Church Army sprung. The
conspicuous success of the older or
ganizations bespeaks a similar sue
cess for this new venture If it follows
the same lines. The Salvation Army
has done all the hard work in this
country of fighting and conquering
prejudice and retaining general re-
spect. and it has made the way easy
for any other similar organization to
follow in its footsteps. 1t has been
conceded that the people reached by
these evangelical armies are of a kind
who are beyond the pale Of ordinary
church influences, and certainly it is
a wholesome religious movement that
proposes to swell the number of these
evangelical agencies. If the Episcopa-
lians find their object as successful as
it ought to be it may not be long be-
fore all the denominations will have
similar representatives in the field.

Oil Cobs for KindIing.

Much of the danger of using kerosene
oil for kindling fires would be avoided
IL corn cobs were handy to be dipped
into the oil and used for kindling.
The cobs will hold more oil than will
wood, and if dry sticks are piled over
the soaked cobs they will quickly
make a blaze, which is always needed
OH cold mornings to lift the volume
of cold air that is always found in
pipes and chimneys after the fire goes
down. 1t is not best to dip more than
one or two cObs into the oil. If all
the kindling, especially that or sop, Is
wet with oil, the fire will sometimes
quickly burn off the oil, and then,
without lifting the cold air, dense
volume of carbonic-acid gas will settle
down into the stove, making the start
ing of fire worse than it was in the
beginning.

His Destination.

Mrs. Horace Perry had fault COM
mon to many of her sex; when she saw
her husbands back she always asked
him where he was going.
Interest, doubtless, had originally
prompted her questioning, but long af-
ter she had ceased to care in the least
where he went she continued to call
after him, "Whar We goin, Harry?'
Mr.. Perry invariably answered
promptly, and what Is more, truthfully.
Occasionally he turned out neat reply
such as, ''If 1 top We, Maria, ye'd know
more'n l do" but this was the extent Of
his rebellion.
One day, however, just as he was dis
appearing round the corner of the barn,
the familiar words, 'Whar We goin',
Harry" stirred up tempest of wrath
within him. He halted and faced about:
resolution in his bearing, defiance IN
his eyes.

ly, "I'm goin' whar Pm goin', that's

How to Meet Hl-Temper.

Ill-temper is a habit, and grows with
every repetition, while it weakens with
lack of exercise. In dealing with a
child, it is now acknowledged by a
thinking people that to remove the
causes Of fault, or to check it in the bud,
is incomparably better than to antag-
Onize it afterwards, for thus good
habit is formed and an evil one him
dered. And what is thus true in child
nature is equally so In all human ma
ture.
Sympathy, in it's best sense, is a po-
tent instrument in allaying this evil. If
we did but realize the mental condition
of the one we blame for giving way to
anger or irritability or fretfulness, we
should usually find more reason to
soothe than to condemn.
At all events, most of us have proved
the futility of criticism on this point;
and the true appreciation which comes
from a wise sympathy will suggest
many far more potent methods.

The statesmen of Spain are virtual
~ conceding that their nation is groan-
ing under weight that must ulti-
mately ruin it. During september
90,525 men were drawn throughout
Spain for military service. These con-
scriptions have given rise to much
discomfort and open opposition. 1t is
charged by the opposition press that
discrimination has been shown against
republicans. The eXempts are higher
in some districts than in others, and
at every turn of the cOnScription rack
the internal feeling in Spain takes
on more and more the character of
civil revolt. If the present drift con-
