Serve the American People as
Their Chief Executive.

neir OnleI EXECUTIVE.
New York, April Admiral
Dewey's announcement today that
he is a candidate for the presidency
startled the politicians of both par
ties. 1t is admitted on all sides that
the injection of his name as a presi-
Dental possibility will upset all
states and make a vast difference in
the coming campaign. "What side
is he onl" and "What candidate will
it affect, Bryan or McKinley7' were
questions promptly asked on all
sides. Dewey will clear up that
point when he announces positively
his politics. He is claimed by both
sides. but by word of mouth be him
self has never said whether he was
democrat or republican. There is a
we'll grounded belief here that
Dewey's affiliations are not with the
democrats.

MANY PEOPLE CATCH COLD.
slight Causes Often Produce Serious Re-
 suits to Mems Health.

The various ways in which cold may be brought on are thus described by pr. J. H. Kellogg: "A little Anife blade of air blowing in through crack in window upon some part of the body will chill that part and the blood vessels of that region will be- come contracted, affecting somewhere in the interior of the body an area in reflex relation with this portion of the surface of the body For instance, the blood vessels of the skin of the top of the shoulders and the chest are asso- ciated with the blood vessels of the lungs, so that whatever happens to the blood vessels of the skin of the shoulders and chest happens also to the blood vessels of the lungs. If there is a contraction of the blood vessels of the back of the neck there will be q contraction of the blood vessels of the nose and throat, and if there is a contraction of the blood vessels of the top of the shoulders and the shoulder blades, there will also be a contraction of the blood vessels of the lungs. When the influence of the cold is con- iinued this contraction is followed by congestion. When one puts his hands into cold water, for few minutes they are first pale and then red. This is re- action. The longer the application and the more intense the degree of cold the greater will be the contraction and the congestion. So if the back of the neck is exposed for a long time to the influence of cold one is likely to have q cold in the nose and throat, if the shoulder blades and the tops of the shoulders are exposed one is likely to take cold in the lungs and suffer from congestion of the lungs. If the cold is long continued it may cause not only 3 congestion but an inflammation of the nose or lungs. So if the bottoms of the feet become wet or chilled a weakness of the bladder may result if there has ever been 8 trouble there, or a weakness of the stomach if there has been catarrh of that organ"

 Khaki Made At PimIloo.

Khaki is made at the army caOthlng stores at Pimlico, Eng. There are over 1900 girls, ranging from l6 to 70 in age. employed at the factory, the sew ing machines being driven by steam at war speed of HOO stitches a mn" ute, making khaki and other ciothlng required for South Africa. Every girl is taught to make Q garment through out. it being considered that, even II the girls do pet work as quickly when making the whole garment, they do it better than if each section was made by a specialist; at any rate, they man. age to turn out 10000 uniforms a week, Every soldier out in South Africa car ries in the lining of each garment linen label containing the name of the girl who made it. and if any complaint of scamping is received during it's natural life of twelve months she is certain to hear of 1t.

RELIC OF THE WOODEN NAVY
Old Frigate Franklin Will Soon Be 1 Abandoned as Useless.

From the Washington Star: "The ancient frigate Franklin, relic of the old wooden navy, which has been used for many years as receiving ship at the Norfolk navy yard, is soon to be a deserted hulk, said a naval officer, who has recently visited the Virginia naval station. She was examined not long ago by board of officers and it is be- lieved they will submit eondemnatory report. The policy of the department, as is generally understood, is to do away with the time-honored but an- tiquated and out-of-date system of re- ceiving ships, substituting for them shore barracks similar in general char acters to the quarters occupied by en- listed men at army posts. The tackles of the old school are much opposed to this plan. They cling to their old fogy ideas of seafaring life and believe a recruit should be placed upon the water from the very first To break him in on shore and have him live in bar racks, they say, will make the fellow a landlubber all of his natural life. While the receiving ships of today are noth- ing more than great floating houses. there is nevertheless an air of the sea about them and this the old dogs among the men love. Dismantled and roofed over, the ships haven't much resemblance to a seagoing craft. An other thing in connection with the re- ceiving ships is that the families of commanding officers are allowed to live aboard. The Franklin is historic old boat and it has been suggested that one might buy her when she is put up at auction and place the craft on ex- hibition in different ports. This would hardly seem to be profitable under sakinQ"

4 Scheme rAat Failed.

A Danish scheme of state and com munal gratuities, or pension, to dest1- tute males who have passed their six tieth year, and who have led reputable lives, has not resulted in the good an- tfcipated by it's advocates and promo ters. On the contrary, it's workings have been demoralizing. The poor, so called, refuse to make, or even strive to make, provision for old age while 1t IS in their power to do so, on the ground that support from pensions will come without effort Children in f1ourishing circumstances refuse to as slst their needy parents, money in say- lngs banks has been withdrawn and squandered and benefit associations to which employers have contributed have lapsed into bankruptcy. The scheme, in fact, has become a positive premium upon destitution, an incen- tive to improvidence and foe to man iy reetitude and self-respect.

DECLINE OF cHuRcH-ooINo.
Two Reasons Why People Do Not G'
 to Service


 The pulpit used to be the chief means of instruction and of intellectual and moral s mutation for the people. The pulpit orator was the people or ator. The pulpit has in great measure lost it's attractive power in this re- gard, says Popular Science. The dally and weekly press have a greater lnt1u- ence in public instruction. The multi plication of cheap books also takes from the pulpit large share of it's 1n- fuenee in this regard. Oratory ln legls- 1ative bodies has to great extent lost Its influence. It's place has been taken by simple, compact time-saVlng state ments, often printed but not delivered Committees do the work which used to be done after discussion before the public. So the people will not listen now to the pulpit orator of former gen. erations. They demand short, crisp ser mons that bristle with points and are practical and helpful. In other words, the oratorical and highly intellectual character of the pulpit. which used to attract worshipers, no longer attracts them. They feel that they can get more benefit in this regard by reading in the comfort of the home. Multi tudes of people can no longer De m duced to attend church to be instructed by the minister or to get his Judgment on topics of the time, or to be stirred by his eloquence; they can get all 41,;,,,c oboonor and oaSipr hV reading at home. When, now, this Is re-enforced by the fact that multitudes dislike the doctrines of the church and resent them when they are preached. we can easily understand that church attendance should decline very greatly from this reason.

EARLY LAMPS AND WIGKs. '
Tho Latter Were Commonly the PIth
 Of the Rush.

It would be hazardous to conjecture what the first wick consisted of, but when we come to consider the iron lamp or "crusie,' we know that the wick commonly used was the pith of the rush, which was gathered and par tially stripped of it's outer green cover ing, cut into proper lengths, dried and tied up into bundles ready for use. The iron lamp was hammered out of one piece of iron in a stone mold. This was usually done by the blacksmith, and the molds are still to be seen in museums, in the hands of private col leetors, and, no doubt at some of the country blacksmith shops. They are of uniform shape, with some slight va rieties. The lamp consists of two cups. one suspended above and inside the other. The suspender is so fixed and notehed as to enable the upper cup. Hhich holds the oil and wick, to be shifted, and to keep the oil constantly in contact with the wick. The lower cup catches the drip of the oil, which can be easily replaced in the upper cup by lifting it off until the oil is poured into it. The upper cup has sometimes moyeable lid. There is remarkable resemblance not only between the iron crusies in this country, but to those on the continent and in Egypt. They preserve the same general shape, but differ in the material from which they are made. The Pompeian lamps, or at least some of them, might be described as three crusies in one. The cup Of the lamp is the same, but it has provision for three lights. The oil used in the Scotch lamps was of the coarsest kind. On the west coast the oil used was, add is still, fish oil. The material for wicks was variable.
 Paths Parrots.
 Patti has two wonderful parrots, one of whom talks all day long, and imi- tates it's mistress trills and staccati in an amazing fashion, and who (belieye me, for I have heard him) can even compose the most elaborate melodies, says a correspondent The other par rot-Jumbo by name-is an oddity. Patti bought him for S200 in New York, where he was reputed to be the finest talking parrot alive. Once in her possession he became dumb. In vain they tried to coax him to con verse. Months went by until one morning the prima donna woke with q bad sore throat. Send for the doctor, :" she cried, flor have to sing tonight!' The doctor duly arrived. As he entered the Nom the parrot uttered his first and last words. "Oh. doctor he ex- claimed. in strong Yankee accent, I'm so sieki" And since that day. now several years ago, he has not ut- tered ord.-Baltimore News.
