THE LARGER VIEW.

C AVS the Indianapolis News: "The wine grow
 CTS of California wroth at the reciprocity D treaty with France, which reduces the import duties on French wines They want reciprocity on somebody elses product. That Is generally the way But if we going to expand if we are contemplat- ing worldwide commerce. whether or not we con- template a worldwide empire, we must have view large enough to that there other vineyards in the world as well as ours"
 Exactly The people of California have view large enough that there are in this country if not other vineyards, at least other interests than ours, and would like to know why they should not bear due share of the burdens of reciprocity
 The treaty with France obtains from that country the admission of United States meat products and lard to French markets lower duties than are imposed the products of other nations It pays for this concession by admitting French wines brandies yer mouth and wine lees to American markets at a re- duced rate of duties. Indiana produces meat and lard and gets the benefit of the treaty but she pro- duces neither wine nor brandy, and therefore pays nothing for the benefit California on the other hand, while producing little or no meat or lard for export produces nearly all the table wine of the United States. Her people, therefore, get little ben eft from the treaty but pay the whole cost of it.
 The clause of the Dingley tariff which, authoriz- ing the President arrange reciprocity treaties with foreign nations confines him to concessions on wine lees, brandes wines, vermouth and works of art, is radically unfair The whole burden of reciprocity with countries like France, Germany Italy and Por- tuga s under this clause thrown almost exclusively upon California Those countries are large exporters of wine and if their product of this kind is admitted free of duty the of competition will be heavy upon the wine of the United States Now. Cal ifornia is the only State which has an extensive wine industry and therefore is the only one that suffers
 The people of California desire a worldwide com merce, and are willing to pay their due share of the cost of it. They are most cordially willing to pro- mote the welfare of other sections of the Union. California produces iron. Nevertheless her neo- pie Loyalty support the protective duty on iron. Ob jection is made only when protection to Californian industry is stricken down in order that interests in other sections of the Union may be benefited. The Indianapolis News should have view large enoupb to that the vineyards of California deserve as much from the Government as the stockyards of In diana.

STRIKING ECcENTRICITIEs.

Among the extraordinary eccentricities of men occupying conspicuous place in the eye of the public there is none that is more strange than the inability Of some of them to sleep in the house in which they are living.
 Thus Cecil Rhodes, when in South Af- rfca. is in the, habit of having either a tent, hut, or a little shanty of some kind put up in the grounds of his fine houses, to which he retires to sleep at night, being unable to secure moments s sound sleep in the house itself.
 It is the same with Lord Rosebery, who Is a martyr to insomnia When at Dal- meny, his splendid country seat in Scot land, where he Is shortly to receive visit from the Queen, he retires each night, af- ter having taken leave of his guests, to Barn Bougie Castle, to sleep, and when in London at his house in Berkeley Square, he drives down to Epson In order to sleep at the Durdans, his place on the world famed Downs, much in the same way as any one of us would walk upstairs to bed.

SOLDIERS AND THE PRESIDENCY

But if Mir. McKinley's successor is not concealed at the present moment in some military uniform this war is destined to oVerturn one of the most significant and potent precedents in our political history. Every war in our past has made at least two Presidents, and a majority of the men in the Presidential line were intro- ouced to popular favor as soldiers. Here is the record:
 THE REVOLUTION. Lieutenant General George Washington. Captain James Monroe
 THE WAR OF 1872 Major-General Andrew Jackson Ca prf- vate in the revolution). Major-General William Henry Harrison Captain John Tyler.

QUESTIONS SETTLED BY THE
 WAR

The war Is but month old, yet as the Courier-JournaI has before pointed out, 1t has already disproved some popular faliacies with reference to the modern navy.
 One of these is that the cumbersome warship is more dangerous to itself than to the enemy; that it Is easily sunk, and mat It has most to fear from its own fire
 Instead of the confirmation of these theories, all the experience we have yet had brings confirmation of the theories or the scientists who constructed the navy. The ships so far have done just what they were designed to do and more lnah they were designed to do. The glgantic Oregon has made a voyage of over l3,U0O miles as cleanly as an ocean Hher; the Iowa, the mightiest flghting machine in our navy, is here to-day and there Io-morrow, with never an accident ai-u 3 1lres her big guns with none of the olsaSrous effects to herself that had been preoicted The squadron of Dewey has annlhllated the Spanish fleet in the Pa CHIC with hardly scratch to itself, and our gunners have demonstrated time and again that big guns will do just what they were Intended to do when manned by those who know how to use them. All Tn all, it appears that the science of navy building has proceeded upon as true lines as the science of engine building of house building, of bridge building or any other science which works from theory to he proved by use.-Louisyille Courier

He was accustomed to packing single
car for market once week, and great
was his pride in filing 1t with all the
appetizing dainties his farm could
produce. On this occasion, with the
help of good Mrs. N and nephews,
Fred and Jack-for he had no sons
he had packed the car almost full of
oats and hay. butter and milk, eggs
and vegetables, of the best and fresh
est kind. But still there was room,
and in that room Farmer N de-
posted two hives of bees with all their
accumulated store of honey.
Now these particular bees were en-
tirely unaccustomed to railway travel,
and after little experience they de-
cided unanimously that they did not
like it. There was an ominous ''Buzzl
buzzl buzzl" and then they appointed
themselves q committee of the whole
to inquire into what the rapid locomo-
ton and attendant joltimg meant.
Well, I won't undertake to describe
1t, but within few moments it seemed
as if those bees were multiplied o
thousandfold, and had spread them
selves everywhere. Not passenger
or brakeman but felt their stings,
not corner of the cars or part of
the engine but was being fully In
yestigated and inquired into by an
excited company Of bees.
The train was stopped, and it was
only after throwing out all the honey,
and waging a war of determination
with weapons of every kind, and
clouds of smoke from pine knots, soft
coal and everything else that could
contribute, that the train could finally
60 on.
What the freight agent and con-
ductor reported to Farmer N on
their return trip I leave you to i'm
agine, but since then you may be sure
that that worthy man has sent no
more bees by rail.

Bones are the framework of the
human body. If had no bones, my

vessels would be lying round in me

hurted, but not much lest it is a hard
hit. If my bones were burned, l
should be all brittle, and you could
crumble nue. up, because all the ami
nal would be out Of me. If ! was
soaked in a kind OF acid, 1 should be

bones that had been soaked. I could
tie n knot in one. / had rather be
soaked than burned. Some of my
bones don't grow close and snug to
my other bones, like the branches to
the trunk of tree do; and l am glad
they don't, for, if they did, l could
not play leap frog and other good
games know. The reason they don t
grow that way is because they have
joints. Joints is good things to have
in bones. There are two or three
kinds. The ball and socket joint like
my shoulder is the best. Teacher
showed it to us, only it WAS the thigh
Joint of COW. One end was round
and smooth and saucerlike. That is
the socket, and oils itself. Another
joint is the hinge, like my elbow. 1t
swings back and forth, oiling itself,
and never creaks, like the schoolroom
door does. The other joint amt
much of a joint, that is the skull; and
it don't have no motion. All of my
bones put tosettlRg4on. Cripples and
