Talmage Sees the Car.

Rev. T. De Witt Talmage returned last
week from six months foreign trip.
II went over" he said, ION business
connected with the distribution of the
India famine relief fund. This kept me
busy for some time. l visited Lord
George Hamilton, secretary of state for
India, and the lord mayor of London,
and from both received much assistance
in forwarding the supplies and distrib-
uting them. The Paris Exposition was
wonderful. The whole affair was a
great success, and while the financial re-
suit might not be up to expectation, the
exposition. was the cause of millions of
dollars pouring into Paris.
II visited the Emperor of Russia and
was pleasantly entertained. l am sure
from the talk had that Russia will take
no more land in China than is necessary
for indemnity. The emperor is man of
peace and believer in the principles set
forth at The Hague. Twas surprised TO
find that he was so we'll Informed as to the
situation in America. Many things
have happened since last we met he
said. Yes replied we have had war
with Spain and another crop OF heroes
has sprung up To my surprise he men
toned nearly all the men who were
prominent in the war.
my visit to Florence Nightingale, who
is now eighty years old, will always b.
remembered by me. have always beer
an admirer of Miss Nightingale. Sh

of the supplies to the starving in India

Senator William P. Frye, of Maine,
president pro tenn of the United States
senate, who has recently been stumping
in the middle west with Senator Hanna,
called at Republican national headquar-
tiers today He said:
"We spoke in Minnesota, South Dako.
ia, Illinois and West Virginia to total
audience which compute at about 2O2,-
900 people. All these states are abso'
lutely safe for Mckinley and Roosevelt.
They are going all one way. There isn't
shadow of doubt about South Da-
kota. We passed through the most pop
ulous section OF that state and talked to
! huge enthusiastic crowds. Wisconsin
and Minnesota are obviously republican
West Virginia is not only sure to reflect
Mckinley but Elkins will be returned tc
the senate and the republicans will get
majority in the lower house.
Senator Hanna" continued Senator
Frye, received perfect ovation all thu
way from start to finish. 1t was aston
ishing to see the enthusiasm which tn

Indiana Considered Safe.
The statement was made officially at
republican national headquarters Thurs,
day that Indiana was absolutely safe
for Mckinley and Roosevelt. This, it
was said, is the best judgment Of repub-
lican leaders in that state, as expressed
in many communications received at re-
publican national headquarters. Among
the communications received his morn
ing was one from D. NJ. .2amsdell
sergeant. alarms of the United States
senate. Mr.. Ramsdel says:
"A personal investigation of the situa-
ton throughout the state OF Indiana
fully confirms me in the opinion that the
state is safe for Mckinley. give it now
as my deliberate judgment that McKin
ley will carry Indiana by not less than
$1,000 majority, and should not be
surprised if it were twice that. The
trend at this timeis all in our favor, and,
/ think, will continue to the end. We
shall at least maintain our representa-
ton in the lower branch of congress,
with the chance in our favor of gaining
one and perhaps two; but in any case it
will be not less than it now is-rine out
OF thirteen"
CrOker's Thousand Dollar Bills.
What a magnificent specimen of the
walking capitalist Mr.. Croker is, to be
sure When a reporter told him last
evening that somebody had offered to
bet $4,000 to $500 that Mckinley
would come down to the Bronx with
$4,000 majority he took out of his
pocket two one-thousand-dollar bills,
and handing them to the reporter, said:
"You take that money and find the man
who wants to make that bet. Take it.
You will get the usual commission"
How many of our most abnormally
bloated trust magnates walk about
habitually with thousand dollar bills in
their pockets, ready for emergencies of
various kinds including bets? To Mr..
Croker thousand. dollar bills are as
familiar as the humble "hver" to the
most of US. He has few of them in his
waistcoat pocket, and doubtless large
wad of them ''in his pants" Where do
they come from? Why, from the Tam
many Hall campaign fund. From what
source do they flow nto'the fund All,
now you are treading on ''private bust
ness" INDUCING in what Mr.. Croker
calls personal abuse" 1t should be
sufficient for you to see that this great
man does business on a cash basis. with
no hummery about checks and bank ac.

ChiIdren's Hobbies.

When Johns minerals occupy room we
want for other purposes. and when
Mary's assortment of leaves and grasses
and picture cards becomes WEAKNESS
to the flesh we ought to look not so very
many years back to the time when our
treasures were simply trash to our own
devoted relatives. We ought to recall
Just why it is we love Aunt Polly and
tolerate Aunt Jane. They are both
estimable ladies, but one did not laugh
at our childish hobbies and did not call
them rubbish; the other did, Bertha

of prosperity for perhaps another gen.
eral convention had been touched.
The activity OF trade and demand
for all grades of commodities have
given rise to renewed confidence in the
stability and permsnence of prosper
Gus conditions and future improve
ment. The ebullient stock market is
Lne natural reflection of this spirit OF
optimism and confidence over the gem
eral conditions of affairs. AS the spec
ulation is avowedly designed to dis
count an expected large demand for
stocks in January, there is excellent
ground for expecting that the edge has
been taken off the future strength OF
the market. This was shown in the
growing disposition to take profits in
the latter part CT the week. but the un-
DERIVING strength OF the market
showed no signs of impairment at the
close of the week.
The railroad bond market has been
actuated by sympathy with the stock
market. The lower grade issues have
been the favorites and have moved
strongly upward, with occasional re-
actions from speculative proft-taking.

SILVER

bINUeLLt-L :.
There was practically no change in
the silver market this week. either as
TO prices or activity. The buying for
eastern account in London has slack
ened again. but the offerings are mod
crate. and no accumulation Of supplies
OF bars can be seen. Further buying
orders for India are expected to make
their appearance ere long, as trade
conditions in that country are in a
favorable state and the demand for
money for circulation is large. The
matter depends, however, to a large ex-
tent on the ability of the Indian gov
eminent to draw gold from Australia
once more.

"DAUB-O-LINKS."

To make Daub-o-links you require little printing-ink, a small stiff paint brush with short bristies, bit of win- dow-glass, a few wooden toothpicks, an old spoon, few rags, and some blank sheets of paper. The printing-ink you can get at any job-prlnter's or neWspa- per office for a few cents. If you hap pen to have old photographic negatives about the house, one of these, soaked in hot water and then scraped clean, will do as well as a window pane. The blank sheets of paper should be little larger than the glass, and should be "uncoated." The easiest way to set to work Composing you have not the artis- tic ability to make freehand Daub-o- links) is to select a picture to copy
 Place the plate of glass over the picture to be copied Qet us take, for example, a marine view), and with your bristle brush dab little of the ink thinned with kerosene over the image as seen through the glass plate Never mind if you do happen to run the ink little over the edges of the picture; that can be cleaned up afterward, Be careful,

however. to lay the ink firmly, but even- ly, on such parts of the picture as ap- ! pear dark, and to smear it less thickly | on the lighter portions. The best plan is to lay the ink thinly over the whole picture at first, and then to gradually work up to the solid blacks. Let me say here that pictures that are rich in shadows invariably give the best re- suits when reproduced by the Daub-o- link process.
 l Having, as an artist would say, blocked in" your marine, rub the ink
 thin In the sky part with your finger Then. with the rag twisted over the handle of your paint-brush, ipe out the moon-in one ipe, If you can. Next put little more ink on the water, and smooth it straight across with your fin- ger to give the rippled effect Then add the rocks and lighthouse. The refiec- tions of the moon on the ater and the I rays from the lighthouse are scratched in Cor ouD with the toothpick If these directions have been followed carefully, your picture will now look very well, ex- cept where the ink has been smeared over the margin. To clean this away, take the rag between the thumb and l forefinger, and draw It straight along Sthe edges of the picture until all super fluous ink is removed. To judge of the result of your work, you should every now and then lift the glass plate care fully from the copy and place 1t over sheet of hte paper, which will enable you to determine with greater accuracy which portions of your copy require more ink, and which should have less
 The finishing touches having been given to your plate, you will be ready to take an impression. This is done by laying a sheet of blank paper over the inked surface of the glass, covering this with another sheet of paper Cor better yet, with bit of thin cardboard), and rubbing over the whole surface of the paper with the back of spoon.-St. Nicholas
