That the National Convention did
not name any particular party In ita
resolutions this year is not to be con.
strued as indifference to "prohibitiou
by party" The National stands Just
where 1t has stood for years in rela-
ton to this question. II believes in
prohibition by law, and that this is ia
be accomplished by the ballot box. II
does not propose to desert a cause or
friend. It will go with its principles
one mile, or 1t will go with them twain,
IL it can. but it will go no part OF a mile
further than its principles go. In other
words. the National has declared its
principles, and will stand by then
wherever found. Therefore, to be con-
sistent, it could not name and COM
mend one party embodying q funda-
mental principle and ignore another
having precisely the same principle, az
was contemplated by the resolutions as
first offered. II is well to keep in
mind that wherever parties have been
named and commended in state or Ma
tional conventions. it has been only 50

The Trusts Stronghold.

New York Post.
A novel rate war is .On In Buffalo
novel in that the rate cutting Is done
by only one Of the parties in the con-
troVersy. 1t Is a fight over the price of
bread between the biscuit TRUST and a
large baking company on the one side,
and the small bakeries in the city on
the other There are over one hundred of
the latter, and they are making an effort
to do business with bread at Z cents a
loaf, against their larger antagonists,
whose bread is sold at retail for cents.
The little bakers are relying each on
his own small circle of customers, the
majority of whom are his personal
friends, and many Of whom prefer the
particular kind of bread to which they
have become accustomed. There is little
sentiment in the business, however, and
1t Is the expectation of the Buffalo papers
that many of the smaller bakeries will
be driven out Of the business The gro
GERS would prefer larger profits than are
to be obtained in selling the trust bread
ut an advance of cent a loaf over the
wholesale price, but are coerced by their
economic customers to supply the trust
bread.

Nervous Children.

New York Ledger
A word about nervous children. Never
scold them nor make fun" of them.
They suffer enough without your threats
or sarcasm. Pretend not to see their
awkWardness when in company nor
their grimaCes when alone. A case was
reported the other day of boy of 10
years who, on being VeXed, and often
without any apparent provoCation, will
Clinch his hands and make the most
frightlul cOntOrtions OF the muscles of
his face and head until his poor mother
fears he Is idiOtiC. by no means. He is
the brightest boy in his class at school,
fond of reading and of natural history
but he has not been taught to control the
little wires, so to speak, on which he
is strung. This is no single case. There
are thousands Of children who give
way to their nerves in similar fashion.
Talk to them about these curious little
fellows that should be their servants,
not their masters. Never whip them.
The man or woman who whips a ner-
Vous child is on level with brutes that
have no reason. Encourage them. Help
them. BE patient with them. They are
the making of our future successful men
and women, for they will work hard
at whatever they undertake. Brace up
your own nerves first, and then be in
dulgent toward the Capers of your over
nervous children.

bell. II sends forth a note deep and
penetrating and not inharmonious. It's
sound is not like that of any other bell
you hear. 1t is like the sound Of two
iron bodies coming together, without
the melody of any note. It's resonance
is such that the entire scale is gone
around before the last sound dies away.
When liberty came to Cuba, the old
bell ringer Of Garcina climbed the skel-
eton OF the belfry and, striking the
Clapper Of the bell, he sang out a great
"Pin-n-n-ng!" that was heard to the
coast.
"One, eight, nine, eight" the bell
ringer pounded on the bell, and those
who listened and counted knew that
1898 meant freedom! Such rustic as
the old bell made, stationary though it.
was, high up in that old belfry! 1t
shook the old stone fastenings and set
them jingling with the rest. The fright
ened birds, reused from their long ten
antry of the interior, tumbled headlOng
out of the bell, and the straw and twigs
came rattling down. The foliage that
had grown thick around the bells pedes-
tai shook itself loose in the vibrations,
and the whole town of Garcina went
wild with joy.
Cuba's new liberty bell is the first
relic of freedom, the first show piece
Of independence, and it will hang up in
the old belfry Of Garcna until the old
thing crumbles and is unsafe, or until
such prosperity come to Cuba that they
can take IL down and build n great hall
for its own use.

Air Pressure Against Trains.

New York Post
The air pressure against which an
express train must make headway is
known to be very great, but only re-
Gently has an attempt been made to
measure it. This was done by me-
chanic of Western road. He stretched
a sheet OF paper over a small hoop,
placed this hoop over the mouth of
pipe connected with an air-cOmpressing
engine, adjusted the gauge to show the
pressure, and registered the pressure
when the paper burst. He next took this
hoop with the same kind of paper and
fastened it in front of one of the loco
motives used in hauling the fast trains.
AT a speed of fifty-eight miles an hour
the air-pressure burst the paper. The
pressure from the engine in the first
test made in the shops showed that the
paper, which was eleven inches in di-
ameter, had stood strain OF twenty
eight pounds. This experiment gave a
basis for calculating the pressure
against the sixty-eight-inch diameter of
the boiler front, against the sides of the
cab, the front of the stack, dome, head
light and other exposed parts, and 1t
proved that even on the engine alone
the air resistance is considerable and
Is increased In ratio corresponding

THE SHOWER.

Tho landscape, like the awed face OF "A chief,
Grew ouriously blurred; hush OF death
Fell on the fields, and In the darkness wild
The zephyr held Its breath.
No wagering glamour work Of light and shade
DRppled the shivering surface of the brook.
The frightened Tipples In their ambuscade
OF willows thrilled and shook.
The sullen day grew darker, and anon
Divers flashes Of pent anger lit the sky.
With rumbling wheels Of wrath came rolling on
The storms artillery.
The cloud put ON its blackest frown,
And then, az with a vengCful cry Of pain,
The lightning snatched 1t, ripped and flung 10
down
In Taveled shTeds Of rain,
While /, transhgured by some wondrous art,
Bowed with the thirsty lilies TO the sod,
My empty soul brimmed over and my heart
Drenched with the love Of God.

When the President of the United
States signed the bill passed by the Sen
ate and House making Cuba free, the
whole United States rejoiced in the lib
erty OF the struggling island
But the object of all this rejoicing,
the island itself, lay dreaming in the
south utterly ignorant of the great do
lngs that had come to pass in the land
of liberty.
When the news did travel to the towns
it could not fly fast enough. The people
heard the tidings and took them up with
cheers and shouting. They ran from
village to village and from hamlet to
hamlet, shouting everywhere, Cuba is
free! Cuba is free! Cuba libre! Cuba
libre!"
But this way was too slow and the old
men of the town of GarCina thought OF
way to spread the news quicker In
Garcina, high in an old deserted belfry,
there hangs a rude bell which was there
long before the days of civilized Gu
bans. 1t is supposed to have been on the
island when the early Spaniards came
over in 1900 and settled it. The church
itself has crumbled away, and only the
Delfry and its supports remain.
The bell which hangs there is rude
affair, made of solid iron. 1t is gener-
GUS in its proportions and measures
twelve feet across at the flare of the
bell. The clapper is a great round iron
thing, which hangs on chain from the
middle of the bell. The whole is sus-
pended from great iron standard,
which is stationary, so that the bell can
not swing, and has never swung. When
1t becomes necessary to ring the bell the
ringer must climb the skeleton OF the
old belfry and with a hammer strike
the old clapper The old piece of iron
vibrates and strikes the sides of the

Wireless TeIegraphy.

New York Post
Some Of the most recent experiments
in wireless telegraphy have been made
by Professor Slaby, who has been able
to send intelllgible Morse signals thir-
teen and One-fOurth miles, using two
balloons filed with hydrogen to elevate
the end conductors 1000 feet in the air.
In this way he was able to transmit
signals seventy times the length of his
electric base line Prof. S. p. Thompson,
who spoke OF these experiments before
a British society, stated that in his opln-
ion It was possible to develop the con-
ductiOn or the induction methods of
wireless telegraphy so as to cOmmuni-
cate between England and India at far
less cost than would be necessary with
submarine cables. He was doubtful
whether the wave method would be
found practicable in such a case, as
the curvature of the earth would inter
fere with the propagation Of the electric
waves

Instructions to Red Cross Nurses.

The instructions given to the Red
Cross nurses by the surgeOn-in-chief
previous to their departure for Key
West are quite worth the notice Of stay
at-hOme women. A new argument
against tight lacing was made in one
point which Dr. Lesser urged, that the
wearing of tight clothes irritated and
roughened the skin, thereby adding
little to a PERSONS susceptibility to dis
ease. A smooth, unbroken skin, he
ayerred was a great safeguard against
germs. WOOlen underwear, too, was de-
nOunced as absorbing noxious sub
stances too easily PreVentives, too, in
the shape OF medicine to ward off dis
ease, were not favored by the doctor.
The best safeguards were regular and
light meals, plenty of baths, and a
proper amount of sleep. The precau-
tion of boiling water was advocated,
even for washing purposes in swampy
and specially infected districts
