Philadelphia, June 20.-The repub-
Iican national convention was called to
order at 1925 p. m. by Temporary
Chairman Wolcott.
Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa-
chusetts was chosen as permanent
chairman and Charles w. Johnson of
Minnesota secretary.
Philadelphia, June 19.-The republi-
can national convention has carried
out the program outlined for the open
ing session to the letter. Tomorrow
it will meet and nominate William Nc
Kinley for a second term as president.
There is no mistaking the g]enuinenesa
of the loyalty of the members to their
chieftain.
Vixen this is done the carefully
made plans of the leaders promises to
be carried out by an adjournment until
Thursday, the interim to be occupied
by a settlement of the question Of the
vice presidency. Senator Hanna says
Governor Roosevelt is out of the race.
The New York delegation has united
upon Lieutenant Governor Woodruff
and will present his name.
Various state delegations and not
ably Kansas and Colorado, insist upon
Roosevelt being nominated and it may
require the most tremendous pressure
known in politics to prevent a stam-
pede for the popular rough rider to-
morrow, as soon as Mckinley is nomi-
mated.
The leaders are confident they will
secure delay, however, and they say
that during the adjournment they will
settle the veXed question to the COM
plete satisfaction of the convention
and the republicans of the country.
They may be right and present ap-
pearances are that they know their
ground-but there are those who look
for sensations and they may come in
the most unexpected vrraer.

Professor Fl. A. Hazen records that
on one occasion he walked down to
the edge of Lake Michigan in the face
of strong wind. Although he was
in perfect physical condition, within
five minutes he had every symptom
of very hard cold. This severe in
liuenza continued until, on walking
away from the lake, it disappeared as
by magic when he had gone less than
500 feet. He then learned that hun
dreds of residents had been compelled
to move back from the shore to escape
influenza. He ascribed the effect to
the abundance of ozone in the air at
the edge of the lake. He has accu-
mulated many instances of persons of
nervous temperament who cannot
sleep during the passage of high pres.
sure areas in the atmosphere. The
cause in this case is obscure.

IMAGINARY ILLS.
Real Sickness Makes Its Presence HnOwn
by UnmistatAble Signs.


by UnmistabAble Signs.
It is probably within bounds to say
that large proportion, if not fully
one-half, of the troubles which af-
fIict mankind are wholly imaginary,
or at least greatly exaggerated. A
considerable part of every physicians
practice consists in the treatment of
minor ailments, and of diseases
which exists only in his patients i'm.
agination.
If this were all, and the only result
of too much introspection and notice
of supposed symptoms were to in
crease the physicians income, there
would not be 80 much to be said against
it. But unfortunately, imaginary dis
eases cause a great deal of suffering
--as much as, if not more than, the
real troubles of which they are the
Godnterfeits.
There are few more wretched OBJ
jects than the confirmed hypochon.
drac, whose days and nights are spent
in counting his pulse, looking at his
tongue, noticing every Autter in his
chest or little shooting pain in his
head, and reading medical books and
the circulars of quacks.
Such man is perhaps more to be
pitied than the victim of fatal disease;
for while he may live longer, his life is
barren of happiness as to be scarcely
worth the having.
There is almost no disease which
one who makes constant study of
every little unusual sensation cannot
imagine himself to have, but heart
disease is perhaps the one oftenest
simulated. 1t is so easy to count the
pulse and to imagine queer sensations
in the chest, and the rythm of the
heart t-beats changes under the slight
est provocation, especially if there is
a little indigestion, that nothing is
simpler than to imagine oneself the
subject Of some serious disease of this
organ.
The habit is thus formed of watch
ing ones symptoms; and, once formed,
it is most difficult to overcome.
The best protection against the ac-
qulrlng Sucn q naDlU is educatlon IN
childhood. Parents should never APP
pear solicitous, nor take notice of
every little ache or pain with which a
child runs to its mother. A sharp
stitch in the side does not always
mean pneumonia, nor stomach-ache
appendicitis, and children should be
taught to disregard little discomforts.
If a child is given a very slight sup
per and put to bed when it complains,
It will soon learn not to exaggerate
small ills.
Real sickness usually makes its
presence known by unmistakable
signs, and there is slight danger that
a manly disregard of minor ailments,
and refusal to be frightened by them,
will lead to the neglect of any really
serious results.

WORDS OF WISDOM

The special dangers which beset our
neighbors seem so much more terrible
ihan those which beset ourselves. The
Gtter are but pardonable weaknesses,
We think, but the former are mortal
ins.
There is a kind OF knowledge from
which many persons shrink. 1t is that
which involves certain duties and re-
sponsibilities that they are not willing
TO accept.
Courteousness, courage and conf
lence should be united in every be-
Iiever; the gospel requires them and
provides for them.
Love is the wondrous angel of life
that rolls away all the stones of sor-
row and suffering from the pathway
of duty.
Nothing can bring you peace but
yourself. Nothing can bring you
peace but the triumph of principle.
Let us be of good cheer, remember
ing that the misfortunes hardest to
bear are those which never come.
The entire object of true education
is to make people not do the right
things, but enjoy the right things.
Four things come not back-the
spoken word, the sped arrow, the past
life, the neglected opportunity.
Let us be content to work. To do
the thing we can, and not presume to
fret because it is little.
If there is any person whom you
dislike, that is the one of whom you
should never speak.

A COMMISSION CENsURED.
IL Acquitted Filipino Who Was
Accused of Numbering a Soldier.

II Acquitted Filipino Who Was
Accused of Numbering a Soldier.
Washington, Especial. THE Secretary Of
War has received the official record OF the
case of Rosario Espiritu, Filipino who was
tried by military commission at Manila in
June last on the charge Of having murdered
Private George A. Wagner, Company F.,
Fourteenth Infantry, by shooting him with
a revolver and by stabbing him with bolo.
The commission, after being In session two
months, found the Filipino not guilty Of the
charge.
The commanding general OF the Depart.
ment Of the Pacific disapproved the findings
Of the acquittal but ordered the release Of
the prisoner. In his review OF the case he
says:
I'm this case the evidence was abundantly
sufficient to sustain a conviction, and the
failure Of the commission to so find is at
tributed to complications arising during tho
trial, resulting from wholly immaterial and
irreYelant objections by counsel"

In a recent address before the Wis.
consin Academy Of Sciences, Professor
G. D. Marsh presented some general
ly unknown facts about Lake Winnie
bago. All lakes, he said, are TEN.
Porary features of topography, since
their outlets are continually deepen.
ing and their inlets are gradually
filing their bottoms with sand. Lake
Winnebago is remarkable for its
shallowness. Although twenty eight
miles long and ten to twelve broad, it
is only twenty-five feet deep. But its
lack of depth is an advantage from the
fisherman's point of view. 1t contains
an enormous number of fish, and few
lakes in existence can compare with
it for productiveness in that respect.
Shallow lakes are better than deep
ones for fish, because of the greater
quantity of vegetation covering their
bottoms. Vegetation cannot flourish
in deep water.

Wire Nails and old Nails.

Careful experiments made at Cor
nell University are said to show that:
"First, cut nails are superior to wire
nails in all positions; second, the
main advantage of the wire nail is due
to its possessing a sharp point; third,
if cut nails we're pointed they would
be thirty per cent. more efficient in
direct tension; fourth, wire nails with
out points have but one-half their or.
binary holding power; fifth, the sur
face of the nail should be slightly
rough, but not barbed-barbing de.
creases the efficiency of cut nails
about thirty-two per cent, The
pointed end enables the nail to enter
wood without breaking its fibre ex.
cessiyely, thus preserving its grip.
A serious defect of wire nails is their
readiness to rust. They are made
generally of a sort OF soft steel; and
steel rusts more readily than some
other forms of iron. In some parts
Of the country, it is said, shingles put

Under the name OF "magnalium,"
DR.. L. Mach has produced alloys of
aluminium and magnesium which,
while considerably lighter than pure
aluminium, are harder than that metal
and better suited, it is asserted, for
working. With fifteen per cent. of
magnesium, the alloy is said to re-
semble brass in the readiness with
which it submits to the operations of
turning, boring aud cutting. By in
creasiug the magnesium TO twenty

Last summer a Norwegian mariner,
Captain Grondahl, succeeded in trans
porting two young musk'oxen alive
from Northeastern Greenland to
Tromso. These are said to be the
first living specimens of their species
ever brought to Europe. 1t is re-
ported that they are doing well amid
their new surroundings. The mus%
OK, next to the white bear, is the
largest land mammal inhabiting the
Arctic regions. 1t attains height of
nearly, OF quite, four feet, and is
clothed by nature to endure extreme
cold. During the Arctic summer musk
oxen become very fat from feeding
upon the pasturage which grows il
every sheltered spot, but in winter
their long fasts make them gaunt and
thin.

From the study of clouds Professor
+. H. Bigelow, of the United States
Weather Bureau, concludes that the
ordinary cyclones which traverse our
country from west to east are not more
than two or three miles in depth, al
though their diameter is many hum
dreds OF miles. In other words, their
motion does not affect the upper re-
gions OF the atmosphere. In the case
of hurricanes Professor Bigelow finds
that the depth is greater, amounting
to as much as Eve or six miles But
higher currents blow directly across

which produce storms aud fair wealth

Hannah Richards was certainly eccen-

the fact. There were some people who
limited that she was'" queer" but the gen

various and startling shapes that no one
