PARTY EMBLEMS.

Probably the most popular emblem
nowadays in England is the primrose
of April 10.
The violet was the Bonapartist EN-
blem and many duels were fought over
the little blue flower.
Admirers of Gen. Boulanger used tc
wear red carnations always in their
buttonholes.
In France Orleanists wear white
daisies and followers of the house OF
Bourbon Giles Blancs d 'Espagne'D wear
white carnations.
On the day of Parnel's death his fol-
lowers wear a sprig of ivy. Jacobites
sport oak leaves on Royal Oak day, May
20, and ever since the birthday of James
Ill, in 1868, they have worn white roses
on June 10. Red carnations are also
Jacobite emblem,
Nowadays anti-Scmites in Algeria
have taken the cornflower as their
badge, but in Austria this party al
ways wears white carnation. The
corntlower was the favorite flower of
the old Emperor William of Germany,
and loyal Germans used to wear bunch
ese of it in his honor

In his talk before imposing

Stevens in substance said, he
could see where there might be
admiration expressed for personal
courage of the men who hold up
train or stage coach, but could
see no reason where it would JUS
tify sympathy, where men went in
the hours of night to tempt fell
low officer to betray his trust.
1t is our opinion that there is no
personal courage displayed by the
thug, william or cut throat who in
the dead of night phys his nefari-
Gus trade on defenceless men and
women and children. The hold
up is a murderer to all intents and

made up to destroy life upon re-

What is Osteopathy?

1t is a puzzle to many people that Os-
teopathic treatment can reach the eye.
They say, and truly too, "You cannot
get your fingers back Of the eye ball to
treat it, for it is surrounded by the bony
cranium-the skull"
That is all true and we use that very
fact to prove that we do not need to get
our fingers back Of the eye ball, for if
tine eye is SO thoroughly encompassed by
the skull and protected from injury and
external violence, then what would be
the object of treating in that region?
Now, owing to the fact that the eye,
it's appendages and the optic nerve are
80 we'll protected. it needs no special
treatment, unless it be fractured. Then
you have surgical case and surgical
operation would be necessary.
But, granting that there is no fracture
the eyes are in their sockets with their
nerves and muscles intact, they would do
their work properly and would see clear

way as to cause pressure upon the
blood vessels which convey the life-giv-
ing fluid up through the skull, under the

Now il this condition does exist you
need not be surprised at the results
which follow. For the eyes are no ex-
ception to any other organ, they must
have a free circulation and unrestrained
nerve force. You need not be an anato-
mist to know that all the blood which
reaches the eyes and brain must 60 up

The Sun does not delve very
deep into argument, to prove that
the English are waging a righte-

is in calling Dom Paul "that un-

Editor Connolly is just perpe-
trating one of his customary
joshes. AS against the PROPOSE
ton that the English have any
cause whatever to attack the
Beers, there are arrayed against
the Sun almost all of the news

with weighty and preponderat-
ing sentiment from all lovers of a

The Cneain1y Russian Sailor.

A real sailorman has fingers bent up
like fshhooks from the lifelong habit OF
gripping things The Russian sailor
carries his hands like soldier and can
not possibly be ''handy." A sailor S
gait ashore has slight roll. This arises
from the need at sea of keeping up the
windward side of rolling ship. And
the rolling gait marks one of a sailor
finest qualities-balance Unless the
body balances and poises to meet every
motion of a ship the result is seasick-
ness.
Now, the Russian bluejacket does not
roll in his gait ashore, but marches.
Neither has he any sense of balancing
at sea and seasickness in the Russian
feet is a source of actual weakness and
danger. The Black sea squadron can
only put to sea in the three calmest
months Of the summer, and the so called
maneuvers take place ashore on the
Kenai peninsula, consisting mainly of
battalion drill.
One more trait of the real sailor is his
self reliance, which makes him fit for
facing emergencies single handed. But
the Russian bluejacket has none of this.
He is not machine in himself, but
only little bit of a machine which
cannot work without the other bits. He
is huge in stature-a giant compared
with our men-but in his winter over
coat it is impossible to distinguish him
from a soldier. Unhandy, seaSick and
reliant only in drill discipline, he is ut
terly unfit for active service. London

Dangers of Filters,

Filters for purifying water are OF
many kinds in their mechanical struc-
ture, but, according to the report of the
Maryland state board Of health, it
would appear that such filters may
steadily lose efficiency until they be.
come first class culture beds for bacteria.
In evidence of this position an example
cited is that of a man in Baltimore who
sends the whole water supply of his
house through a large filter and subse-
quently puts his drinking water through
one Of the small domestic filters COM
mon in the market
A test Of this arrangement showed
that on q day when the city taps were
running $40 bacteria to the cubic CEN
timeter the large filter was delivering
some 5000 bacteria in the same water.
When the large filter was repacked,
only 8 bacteria per centimeter got
through it. though this same water
when passed through the small filter
came out with II bacteria per cent?

No Diamonds For Her

Here is story from The Bookman,
told by Rudyard Kipling His father,
John Kipling, went to pay visit to
an Indian rajah who was about to bring
home queen. The elder Kipling had
been engaged in the decorations of the
palace, and its owner showed him the
gifts of stuffs and perfumes he had pro-
cured for his coming spouse. The raiah
also sent for his jewel caskets and asked
Mr.. Kpling to assist him in selecting
the gems to be included in the marriage
gifts They were of extraordinary size
and value, such gems as are seldom
seen except in the east, and to the artist
the selection was pleasure. Finally
ne lifted wonderful diamond, one of
the choicest gems in the collection, and
said: "You should send this. No wom-
an could resist it.. The raiah looked
up, caught it and held it jealousy to his
breast, then. slowly replacing it in
the casket. answered, may, such gems
be not for women.

Silent Brides.

In Korea during the whole of the
marriage day the bride must be as mute
as statue If she says word, or even
makes sign, she becomes an object of
ridicule, and her Silence must remain
unbroken, even in her own room, though
her husband should attempt to break it
by taunts, jeers or coaxing, for the
female servants are all on the watch for
such breach Of etiquette as speech,
hanging about the doors and chinks to
catch up and repeat even single utter
ance, which would cause her to lose
caste forever in her circle.
This custom of silence is observed
with the greatest rightly among the
higher classes. 1t may be week or sew
eral months before the husband knows
the sound of his wife's voice, and even.
after that for a length of time she only
opens her mouth for necessary speech.
With the father-in-law the custom of
silence is still more rigid, and the
daughter-in-law often passes years with
out raising her eyes to his or addressing
word to him. In Bulgaria o months
silence is imposed on brides unless
specially addressed by the husband.
