The Democrats are reported to be
contemplating asking the American
people to turn their government over
to them next year. What they want
with it we find it difficult to conclude.
They tried it from 1884 to 1888 and
again from 1892 to 1896, and during
each experiment one national disaster
followed another like Southern birds
in their autumnal fight. The records
of those two periods are one unboken
story Of human suffering, resulting
from idle factories and mines and
wrecked and ruined industries, cli-
NAKED by a hungry horde Of idle Ia
borers marching on to the capital at
Washington TO beg at the doors Of
Congress for work or bread. 10 the
light Of such disastrous failures we
find it difficult to believe that the
Democratic party is seriously yearn,
ing to repeat the experiences OF 1884
and 1892.

Mrs. Places Electrooutlon

On Monday. March 40. Mrs. Place
was executed by the State Of New
York, having been convicted Of the
murder OF her step daughter. The
killing Of q woman by the law Is al
wage a serious shock to the commune
ty, and invariably raises question In
the minds OF intelligent and sympa
thetic persons as to the righteousness
OF capital punishment. Whether the
State has right to kill It's murderers or
not IL one question. Whether or not
such killing is In accordance with the
principles and practices OF christian
civilization Is quite another questio
There Is no doubt that legal killing Is
survival Of barbarous times, and that
when the world grows better capital
punishment will cease, and will then
be remembered as one Of the
evil incidents Of a bygone age.
Neither Is there any doubt In our
minds that were II not for the

Hunting Sea Elephants.

"Talk about an adventurous life, +"
said q little Irishman, ''lf you want a.
life that is the next thing to death,
and I believe one step beyond, try the
life of a sea elephant hunter. That's
what I was for two years; two years op
an island they call Kerguelen's Land,
where 1t showed or rained every day
in the year; where there was nothing
but cold and sleet; where there was
not tree or q bush. We stayed
there year at time, forty or fifty OF
us, and hunted the sea elephants for
their oil. We knocked the poor crea-
lures over the head with clubs and
shot at them, then boiled them down.
At night we gathered in stone huts,
piling in together to keep warm. We
had nothing to eat but seals, sea gulls
and penguins half the time; nothing
but oil for fuel. Sometimes the
fights with the sea elephants resulted
in the loss of man. Some Of them
were twenty-five feet long and they
would roll over the men or beat them
down. At the end of a year the
schooner came for the oil, and those
of US that wanted to leave went to the
Cape of Good Hope, where we were
paid of. New York Sun.

The Lord MAYORS RulIs.

A lord mayor of Dublin no longer
living was famous for his curious
verbal blunders and confusion OF
terms. When presiding at the meet.
ings Of the Dublin corporation he was
accustomed to announce thus the
lapse of discussion: ''The debate
stands adjourned sine dine" He
once brought an action against an az
fist for libelling him in cartoons, and
obtained verdict for 5000 damages.
His cross-examination contributed to
the gayety of the proceedings. "Did
you," asked counsel, "suffer pain OF
mind by this caricature?" 81 never
suffered more bodily pain of mind
than since saw that" Deprecatine
the burst of prolonged laughter pro.
voked by his answer, he next said
"You know only meant mental pain
Of mind" Counsel asked his opinion
of the merits of two caricatures. This
was his estimate: 81 think one cruel
ly bad, and the other equally worse. 1"

Sea XYater of Many Colors.

On bright. sunny day visitors are
often puzzled at the numerous colors
visible on the surface of the sea.
There will, perhaps, be some four or
five streaks of green, blue, yellow,
black, and so forth, making the water
appear as though it were painted in
stripes of mathematical preci-
sion.
To the initiated these several stripes
have their meaning. They are nearly
all produced by the character of the
ocean bed, and as rule are only seen
in close proximity to land.
If you see a deep blue or green
patch, you may label it deep water,
the blue usually being deeper than
the green. A yellowish tint signifies
sandy bottom, and, if it is very pro-
nounced, indicates shoal or sand
bank.
Black indicates rocks, although sea.
weed or cloud shadows will sometimes
produce a similar effect.
On the east coast it is no uncom.
mon thing to see a patch of bright
red where the sun has reflected the
color of the deep brown sand on the
surface.
Where the bottom is muddy q
streak of bright silver-gr is often
seen.
Many people who cannot claim in.
timacy with the sea imagine these
colors are in the sea water itself,
whereas its intrinsic tint is blush.

ishing organization of the Sons of
New Hampshire, and it was at recent
meeting of this association that the
governor made his novel suggestion.
His idea is to have week in the sum-
mer set apart to be called cold Home
Week, "and to make it an annual affair.
He would have every town and city in
the state make up lists of all its native
born sons and daughters living in 9th
Ell states, and send them an urgent invi-
tation to be present through the week,
which he would make q carnival week
with all sorts of entertainm ents. In
addition, he urged as part of the
program that every visitor should, dur
ing the week go TO the place of his ma
tiyity, and see what he or she could do
to assist in the improvement and beau
tifying of the place, and its general
upbuilding aud uplifting.

Utilizing the Waste.

The art of true housekeeping is to
make the home cheerful and attrac-
tive, to make the meals tasty and
palatable, and to economize in de-
tails. The waste of the house should
be minimized as far as possible. There
should be some regular system of car
ing for food fragments. Tin-lined
boxes or baskets should be kept in
some convenient place in the kitchen,
and after each meal the food left over
should be sorted and put separately
in them. One should be marked for
meal, another for bread and crumbs,
third for vegetables, and fourth
for fruit, etc. In the tin-lined boxes
the food will keep wholesome for sew
eral days. If possible, the boxes
should be hung near an open window
where they will keep cool. One
knows at all times then what waste
there is on hand to be utilized. In
planning the menu for the day it is an
easy matter to decide whether there is
enough meat for hash, meat balls or
croquettes, or bread enough for
pudding, or vegetables for soup.
If one does not care to utilize the
waste food in this way, the system of
separating it in boxes after each meal
should be kept up, and twice week
the contents should be delivered over
to some worthy poor in the neighbour
hood. There is always somebody in
need Of such food fragments, especially
when they are neatly sorted in clean.
sweet boxes. -New York Voice.

thousandlmen are engaged in the work,

when their task is complete. When
it is once clean it will be comparative
ly easy under American rule to keep
it so. 1t will no longer be the strong
hold of yellow fever, as it has hither-
to been; the pestilence may pay it a
flying visit now and then, but will no
longer find the conditions there which
used to make it a terror and give force

street cleaning brigade is really the
most important that has been done in
the city since its foundation.
