1t is hoped the western states will in
time discover the fallacy of frequent
changes in their congressional repre-
sentation. 1t requires years of service
to fit any man for effective work in
either house; promotion to the more i'm
portant committees being based upon
service rather than mental equipment.

The people of the east, with larger and

that this Is 30. After q war the cost
must be reckoned and the price paid.
The burden does not cease with the
declaration OF peace.
The masses of the people have to pay
the national debt. No patriotic citizen
begrudges his share of the burden when
it is incurred in righteous cause. But
it is most exasperating-it grinds the
soul-to think that the Russell Sages
of the country would alone profit by
war. We heard great deal thirty
years ago about the patriotism and faith
of the men who bought government
bonds, and The Herald would not de-
tract one iota from the credit that is
due them; but time has weighed their
risk and sacrifice, and 1t is not strange
that they are now ready with their prof
fers Of financial assistance. If there
should be war it would not be neces-
sary to get up a conspiracy to force
bond issues, as it is in times of peace.
Thus the real patriots dread war be-
cause of the advantage and comfort it
would give to the false patriots, who
risk little and gain much.

Commenting upon the supplementary
report of the registrar general of Great
Britain. the London Times has these
suggestive sentences: DR.. latham evil
IDENTIFY inclines to the belief that the
abuse of alcohol is the chief cause of
excessive death rates; but he points out
that this is less frequently declared in
certificates, in proportion to the social
position and "respectability" of the de-
ceased. In the case of a cabman, or of
an inn servant, certificate of chronic
alcoholism is comparatively frequent;
in the case of an innkeeper IL is COM
paratively rare. Alcohol kills through
its action upon various vital organs,
the liver being usually the most con-
spicuous sufferer; and hence the Off
Gals of the general registry Office learn
to look with suspicion upon the re-
turns of oliver disease" as the cause
of death in persons whose occupations
naturally expose them to a good deal
of alcoholic temptation. DIR. latham,
with regard to several of those occupa-
lions. gives tables showing the number
of deaths attributed to alcohol and the
number attributed to causes which
probably had alcoholic excess as an
antecedent, being careful at the same
tins to remark that the latter class
must be regarded as doubtful, and that
ON no account must it be inferred that
the excess of mortality from the tabu-

Agricultural Outlook Good. - The
Farmers Review considers the outlook

There was generally enough moisture
late in the fall to put the ground in

spring. With exception of the fall sown
wheat all prospects appear now of the
best. The fruit trees did not overbear
last year, but had enough moisture in
the early part of the summer to make
it possible for them to form new buds
and prepare for this years crops. The
cattle are generally healthy, and being
in small supply, will not increase in

Of rum and arrested the party in whose
possession it was found. for selling in
toxicating liquors. At the cxamina
tion before the district Judge, he sworc
and testified that he had seized the
liquor, and made detailed statement
OF the fact. Hon. Shepard Thaycr,
the attorney for the prisoner, asked
him if he knew it was liquor. lie re-
piled eyes, it was rum" He was then
asked how he knew it was rum, and
he replied, that he had drank some of
it. The prisoner, who was a woman,
was then called as witness in her
own behalf, when the following uues
tions we're put and received

sale would have been more profitable
had it not been announced as one Of

order to secure good slave, buyers

grew memorable tragedy. Tom Pate,

at the sale man, his two sisters and
his wife, with the guarantee that they

Disregarding this, Pate sold the

trader, and the other to resident Of

had in the South were well protected.

he sent the girl pack to Pate and dc

died from wounds received. The scud

Facts About Our Watches.

= l:r-ion jcwclcr, in recent advcr-
tl-cmcnt Of his watches, includes these
ia.ls. which are worth KNOWING.
\ watch is the smallest most deli
cate machine that was ever constructed
Of the same number Of parts About
one hundred and scvcntylivc differ
cnt pieces Of material enter into It's
construction, and upward Of twenty
FOUR hundred separate operations are
comprised in its manufacture.
Some Of the facts connected with
it's performance are simply incredible,
when considered IN total. A black
smith strikes several thousand blows
on his anvil in day. and is right
glad when Sunday comes around; but
the roller Jewel Of watch makes
every day, and day after day, 432 600
impacts against the fork, or lI7 $780,
900 blows in "a year without a stop or
rest. or 3,l53 600 600 in the short
space Of twenty years.
These figures are beyond the grasp
of our feeble lntcllccts, but the marvel
does not stop here. 1t has been csti
mated that the power that moves the
watch is equivalent to only four times
the force used in Il flea > jump; consc-
qucntly il might be called a four flea
power. One horsepower would suf
flee to run 270 900 900 watches
Now the balance wheel Of "a watch
is moved by this four flea power one
aud f0rty-thrcc one hundrcdth inches
with each vibration-thrcc thousand
five hundred and fifty eight and three
quarters miles continuously, in one
year.
1t docsn take large can Of oil 70
lubricatc the machine on its thirty
five hundred mile run" 1t requires
one tenth of drop to oil the entire
watch for "a year service. But it has
great need Of that onc-tcnth Of drop.
If you woald preserve the time
keeping qualities of your watch you
should take it to a competent watch
maker once eyery eighteen; months.

and stepping to the telephone he

face was a study for an artist.
"No," said the merchant; my wife

The Girls Every One Likes.

The most lovablo girls in the world
arc those of sunny disposition. A few
people like the quiet, thoughtful girl;
others like the girl who is perpetually
vivacious and bubbling over with spir-
its, but every one likes the girl with
the chccry, sunny disposition. Girls
Of this character are never extravaganza
ly boisterous or disrnally quiet. They
have pleasant smile for every one.
They never seem troubled or worried.
Their voice is low and musical, and
their smilc-be they pretty OF not
is always sweet. The only trouble
that the sunny tempered girl has is the
outcome OF her popularity.
Everybody wants to talk to her and
be in her company. Young men are
attracted to her without effort on her
part, for her character shows itself so
plainly in her actions that young men
are delighted at the chcerincss and
sympathy of her nature and are drawn
to her at once. For every reason, then
the girl with the sunny disposition,
who smiles away the troubles of life.
is favoritc, aud what is more, old
people are just as charmed by her
as young.
