His views are along the line Of the

mighty nigh the cnemy's baggage

Drop free silver, drop fusionism,
drop the cry Of government by i~njunc-
ton, drop the cry Of imperialism and
militarism, drop all discussion about
the Philippines until peace has been
restored: drop appeals to the passions
and p%rcjudices Of the idle and discon-
tented. Review the fundamental ques-
ton of taxation, teach the Democratic
doctrine hat people cannot be made
rich by taxing them: assaii the favorit-
ism and wrongs Of a high protective
ta'iH, stand for the control of trusts
and combines by methods, not oppres-
sive; demand enlargement OF the pow

Of %harbors, and insist on local self-gov-

This is an age of hustle, hustle and
sweat. A man hustles from early
dawn until the katydlds sing in the
twilight for three meals day and a
place in which to lie awake at night
and worry about it. If he doesn't over
work he is called lazy, and if he does
overwork he goes crazy. He tolls and
saves through the days of his youth
so that when he grows old he can wear
a silk hat and sit on the knee OF lux
ury, but when his hair turns to snow
and his whiskers grow thin and gray
in life's late afternoon, he finds he
has been yictimized and grieyously
bunkoed by his own calculations, and
that rheumatism and poor relations
have shattered all his dreams and
punctured his long hopes. Dallas City

Grave Filling Device &C,

A device for use in constructing

signed to FIJI the grave with earth after
the coffin has been lowered. and to
conceal as far as possible the actual
throwing Of tie dirt upon the coffin,

grave ceremony to the bereaved
mourners. It consists Of a receptacle,
with detachable sides and bottom. and
a gate in the latter s: arranged az to
be- capable of being opened to allow
the contents to fall. The front Is a
flexible curtain, extending from the
top to the gate. and designed to pre-.
vent the earth within from being seen.
This receptacle is filled with earth
previous to tie ceremony and carried
to convenient point. When all Is
over and the grave Is to DO filled, the
receptacle Is placed over 1t, and the
gates opened, thus gently closing the
last sad scene in much more fitting
manner than the seemingly cold
hearted return Of the earth with q

EeflpinS Petroleum.

The refining of petroleum is an in
teresting process. The petroleum is
put into tank, under which is slow
fire, burning the gas from the oil itself.
AS the latter warns up, the vapors
pass through long pipe, and are
cooled in the process, condensing 1t
into liquid again. The first thing that
comes over" is gas which is used
as fuel in the works. Next. the vary
ing grades Of naphtha: next (the prod
uct becoming heavier and heavier all
the t;me), the gasoline grades, then
the low-test kerosenes, then the high.
grade kerosenes. Then comes a long
list of heavier oils, ending with the
heaviest and thickest Of lubricants.
There is left in the tank parahine and
a black, dense, sticky substance which
is little more than asphalt. From these
bi-products, after the refining of oil,
are made more than $50 substances OF
value, including such familiar things
as dyes, soap, yaseline, ointment. and
chewing gum. 2

LIVING EXPENSES.
Provisions Are Cheaper Now Than They
We're Thirty Years Ago,

Provisions Are Cheaper Now Than They
Were Thirty Years Ago,
The interesting disclosure is made
that the cost of living is less in the
United States today than it was in
the 1860. Carefully compiled statistics
show that articles costing 500 then
cost SIS now. 1t is true that u few
things are more expensive, but COM
modities consumed generally by fam
lilies, such as breadstuffs, sugar, rice,
salt, wooden and cotton goods, boots
and shoes. and silk and rubber goods,
are considerably cheaper now than
they Were thirty years ago. Ali manu-
featured goods, with hardly All exceD'
ton, are cheaper, mainly because Of
improved processes of manufacture
which enable the maker to reduce the
cost to the lowest point, says Leslies
Weekly. The development OF our vast
arabic territory in the west, north
west and southwest, and the striking
results of irrigation, when applied to
what We're formerly considered desert
lands, have increased our crop sup
plies more rapidly than the increase, OF
population. Despite the dire predic-
lions that prices of wheat. corn and
cotton must inevitably advance be-
cause little land remained to be culti-
waited in the west and south, the fact
is that millions of acres are still await
ing tillage In Texas alone an area
almost as extensive as that Of the
original thirteen states is virgin soil.

and work harder to establish home

they sleep soundest just before the

such cases is TO keep the mind from

Monotony will put any man to sleep In
spite of himself. Most psychologists
acknowledge that deep study OF any
subject just before going to sleep may
result in something like a revelation
as to some phase of the subject, the
mind through unconscious cerebration
accomplishing wonders without the as
sistance of the will. Passages to be
mcmorized should be repeated several
times before going to bed. Sometimes
the sleeplessnss of children is owing
