Checking System Applied to Babies.

In some Of the New York depart
ment stores babies can be checked ike
so many umbrellas, while their moth
ers pursue the elusive bargain from
counter 10 counter. A small boy is de-
tailed to stand guard over a certain
number of infants. The small boys
and the infants have not been asked
for an opinion. but the mothers are
enthusiastic in their approval. In
Brooklyn the checking system as ap-
piled 10 babies has appeared in a new
form. Brooklyn being recognized as
the city Of churches, the new develop
ment is naturally along the ecclesias-
teal lire. The Rev Dr. Wiley Of the
Nostrand Avenue Methodist Episcopal
church is the originator Of the scheme.
and the mothers are once more the
gamers. A large room has been fitted
I'D with hammOcks and cribs, peram-
bulators and toys. Here volunteer
committee of young women assemblies
every Sunday morning. and here the
mothers who would otherwise be kept
at home, leave their babies, while they
themselves attend the regular church
service. The plan is novel one. but
promises. and deserves. TO be popular.

History Of the Loving Gun.

The loving cup is historical en-
blem. In the middle ages. at the close
of an entertainment, the parting guest
was presented with spiced drink in a
large bowl, just as he was mounting
his horse. 1t was called the ''stirruD
cup" Sometimes when the friendship
between host and guest was a pretense
and not a reality the drink was pois-
Cned, or perhaps while drinking the
guest was murdered. These were fire.
Guent occurrences among Italian no.
bles and 10 put A stop to them the
clergy introduced the loving Gun
which had three handles. Two Of
these were gTasped by the host. who
drank first TO show that the liquor was
not poisoned. The guest then took the
cup by the third The host released
one handle, the right hand still hold
ing one so that he might raise the cup,
and incidentally so that his right hand
might be too busy to draw a sword or
dagger. When the guest had drunk.
the host released the cup. which was
PASSED to the next one. The monks in
early times named this the "pocuIa
oaritaJis." or cup OF love. Ii was
filled with wine with a piece Of toast
hoated therein and circulated from
right TO left around the table. Hence
the phrase. drinking a toast. "-Shce

enough. The President should be Civ
en- assurance that the people are ready
TO hold up his hands. Democrats who
are as strongly against cowardly pol
icy in the Philippines as are republ-
cans should put themselves on record.
Standing by the flag and the men who
are fighting for it is no more party
question now than was the war in the
time of Lincoln. The people Of the
West tried to show the President last
fall how they stood on the expansion
question. There have been many de-
velOpments since then. and they should
find some means to define their attitude
on the questions made urgent by more
recent events. They are undoubtedly
as strongly in favor of a courageous pol
icy in Porto Rico, Cuba, and the Philip
pines as thew were then. Let them
show their colors. The question now
before the people is more than one of
party policy; 1t Is question involving
the honor aud progress OF the Nation.

ALL THE CREW GREW FAT.
fredicament of the Company OF the
Good Bark Zion.

The German bark Zion. which ar
rived at this port Sunday from Fowey.
England, brought a rather peculiar
cargo. 1t consisted of 800 casks Of
china clay, but in addition there were
on board 800 casks of arsenic. This
part of the cargo had a remarkable eff
1ect on the crew. i he fact that arsenic
as well as strychnine helps the fOTma-
ton OF adipoSe tissue when taken into
the human system in minute particles
Is well known, and both drugs have
become favorite tonics for GONZALES
cents. On board the Zion the men
slept near the large array of barrels
containing the drug. They were stor
ed in the hold, near the fOrecastle and
partially exposed to the rays Of the
sun, which streamed in through the
open hatch. When only about a week
out from port one of the crew men
toned to his messma es that a peculiar
and indescribab.e cdor was coming
from the casks containing the drug.
1t was not long after their attention
mad been called TO it that they noticed
the same thing, and, strange to say.
noticed 1t all the more forcibly a week
later. Several of the German tars De-
came aware Of the fact that they we're
ming out their clothes to a much
greater extent than when they shipped.
Many others, as days went by, became
abnormally stout, in vast contrast to
the former slim appearance which
many OF them presented before the
land was left. One man gained, it is
SAID. twenty-five pounds. Othe.s were
affected to less extent. But the ag-
gregate weight put On by the entire
crew was little less than 400 pounds
Several OF the sailors are known here,
and they are said to be scarcely rec
osn'Zable when contrasted with The Old
days. The entire sudden taking on Of
aFoirdupoiS is attributed TO Yap0r,
which, generated by the action al The

ELECTRIC FORGE.
Where Iron Il Heated by Being Sub
merged in Water,

One OF the astonishing things devel
oped through the introduction of cleo
tricity into everyday affairs is a forge
made for bench use, for the heating of
soldering irons or light pieces of metal
Tor working on the anvil. where the
heating IS accomplished by plunging
the article to be heated into tray Of
water This curious forge is made as
follows: The tanil is OF wood or Of
any other substance which will hold
water and not form an electrical con
ductor. One wire Of the electric circuit
passes to the bottom of the tank. where
ii is connected to a plate of metal
which lies there Over this plate.

nils the tank nearly to the top and
serves to conduct the current of what
ever object is to be heated. Nothing
could be better for this purpose, for the
water naturally closes all about the OBJ
ject and fits 1t on every side. The
other end of the current-cOnduCting
wire is fastened to the tongs or led to a
metal frame work at the edge of the
tank on which the tongs or the shank
Of soldering iron lie when it is to be
heated. The moment the object to be
heated IS plunged into the water a cur
rent passes from the water through the
object and at the same moment some
OF the wcter is decOmposed by electro
lytic action. The nitrogen OF the water
becomes electrified and adheres to the
object to be heated and forms a film OF
gas. which separates the object com
pletely from the water, while at the
same tine this gas forms such an OBJ
structiCn to the passage Of the electric
current that the energy of the current
is turned into heat

Chicago Inter Ocean.
President Mckinley, it is stated, is
anxious to learn the real sentiment of
the people toward the policy of his adj
mlnlstratlOn. There are those who
haye tried 10 persuade the President
than even the Republican party is di-
vided on the expansion issue. Certain
Democratic leaders have been sounding
the people as to how far their party
ton poiicv Of the administration. The
opponents Of annexation have not met
with much encouragement either i'll the
Republican or the Democratic party.
So far as the Republican party is con-
cerned, those who strove to influence
the President against courageous pol
icy III the Philippines failed. Senators
IN both parties who made every pos
slb!e effort to defeat the ratification of
the treaty of peace failed. Republican
Senators who few months ago were
interviews, opportunities to express
their opposition to the expansion pol
Icy, have, with two exceptions, been
quiet. The few college professors and
ciergymen who headed an anti-eXpau-
sion movement a few months ago have
been pushed by public sentiment into
the background. Governor Roosevelt,
who made Western tour a few weeks
ago, and WHO expressed himself strong
~ IN approval of the policy in the Phil
1pplncs, was received everywhere with
the greatest enthusiasm. Called to
Washington last week for an interview
with the President, he repeated, after
the interview, ali that he had said az
alnst surrender in the far East. His
sentiments were approved by every re-
publican paper that published them,
and there was no unfayorable comment

The facts as stated in TIE TIMES
last week regarding the oil mill have
been Confirmed this week. and Mr..
Koerper, of Waco, is now in the city
representing the company. He is their
superintendent. 1t is now st ited that
there is no likelihood that the anti.
trust law will interfere, and that the
mill will be built at once.
With two such good starters as the
oil mill and ice factory, we see no good
reason why Forrest City should not
forge right aloEg to the front in the
path she has taken.
With our great natural resources and
many advantages it is plain to see that
factories is our need, and that thew
will succeed here if they can succeed
elsewhere.
