Cleveland Is Disappointed.

Buzzards Bay, Mass, July 9.-Former
President Grover Cleveland, at his
summer home. Gray Gables, expressed
his opinion of the democratic platform:

he said, that the platform to be con-
structed at Kansas City would be con-
sistent with the professions of those in
charge Of the democratic management
to the effect of harmonizing the dig
cordant sentiments in the party.

"On the basis of such a declaration
the method by which the party is to be
harmonized and democracy is to gain
the confidence and support of our
thinking and reflective citizens is be-
yond my comprehension"
As regards the democratic ticket Mr..
Cleveland would say nothing. What
would be the use?" he said. What.
ever might say would only be twisted

cultural department, states that the
finest looking fields of wheat in this
part Of the state would produce noth-
ing but chan, as the blossoms had been
blown off and no berries could form.
Many farmers take issue with him and
claim the crop is not affected by the
conditions named. Corn, fax, millet
and potatoes are greatly benefited, and
the fodder crops will be more than
double as the result Of recent rains.

Chicago, Nov. 2S.-Up to this time it

unofficial figures and estimates on the

sures procurable up to this time have
been obtained and where the official re-
turns have not been received CORE

official returns as have been reported to
the proper state officials.

states are as nearly correct as can be
secured at present.
While it is not possible at this time
TO give the exact official totals on the
popular vote for president at the recent
election, it is believed that the vote as
shown by the completed official returns
will vary but a few thousands at most
from the totals given in the following

left, as before returning home we
wanted to visit one of their kotas, or
camps, the only one lying at the foot
of the field. A quarter of an hours
walk brought us to it. In shape
rather resembling an Indian wigwam,
this kota, unlike the usual ones made
of reindeer. skin, was built of turf
overlaid with branches, with the
smoke coming out of a hole in the
roof. Crawling through the narrow
opening we found ourselves in cir
cular room about II feet in diameter.
Fir -boughs, bundles and sacks strewed
the earthen floor. and our escort, a
Lapp woman, told us that no less than
20 men, women and children from the
higher encampment had slept in this
limited space the night before to be
ready for the next days service. They
generally sleep: in their clothes with
out undressing, these strange little
people. Of furniture. of any sort, bed,
table or chair, there was not trace.

THE WEIGHING MACHINE.


In every house old to-day there are
babieszor banting women or yspep
members, and the modern. scientific
physician draws his sage conclusions
as much from his patients pounds as
from their temperature. In conse-
quence. the most, wonderful machines
have beensdeveloped to meet this need
of determining human weight to the,
smallest fraction of an ounce.
Among the wedding presents Of a
summer bride was a remarkable look
ing object that puzzled considerably
those who were asked in to view the
gifts, until the bride herself explained
that it was new and improved family
weighing machine. p ~" n
The frame of the affair was made of
highly polished mahogany, and the top
of the platform, supported by four
graceful legs, was cushioned and COW
cred with royal red leather. To one
side of the cushion were notched and
numbered bars of silver, and with this
went a .eather-bound book and series
of little numbered weights, made also
OF. silver. .-..
The whole thing was puzzle tin
some intelligent person recognized the
apparatus as an elegant family weigh
ing machine, 50 exquisite in it's adjust

ment that every fraction of pound
could be estimated, and in the book
were printed, first, explanations as to
the use of the appliance, and then care
fully ruled blank pages were arranged
for the registry of the avoirdupois.
Assuredly, the arrangement was lux
urious, for to ascertain ones weight it
was only necessary to sit on the fine
leather cushion, adjust the balance.
and slip into place the silver ounce and
pound disks. -..-,:...,..
In few moments the dial would
register 1873 pounds $ 3-16 of an ounce.
1t would then be necessary to register
this, the date and the style of clothing
in the book of weights. and in from
three to five days another experience
on the royal red cushion would show
to nicely whether a sixteenth of an
ounce had been lost or gained.
The fore word in the book tells how
to experiment. to ascertain normal
weight, how the weight of a healthy
person f1uctuates within the limits of
the normal. and when loss of flesh is

flesh should be lost and at what rate
infants and growing children should
gain it.
AS a rule, the weighing machine is
kept in the bathroom. and mothers are
instructed to put their children on the
scales every morning, keep close rec
ord of the fluctuations, and once in
three weeks turn the tables of weights
over to the family doctor, who, will
draw precious differences therefrom.
This is all in line with new theory
that it is flesh that tells whether one
is we'll or i'll more. truthfully even than
color or appetite or i'll feelings. and the
makers of scales have appreciated the
bearing of this new gospe. on their
trade.
Some of the machines they make are
in the form of graceful chairs, uphol-
stored in blue or white leather to match
the bathroom decorations and some
are artistic studies in walnut and tap
estry for the ornamentation of the
hallway, the machinery being con-
cealed as far as possible or made so
highly ornamental that the ugly iron
scales of yore have been transformed
into valuable and effective piece of
household furniture.-Boston Globe.

POPPING THE QUESTION.
Bnshful Young Englishman Performs
This Delicate Task in an En-
tirely New Way

A young mechanic was desperately
in love with a bonnie lass whom he
had known from childhood, and to-
wards whom a new and tenderer
flame had kindled in his heart. OF
this she seemed to remain so utterly
unconscious that he felt helpless. He
privately consulted friend, who ad-
vised him to call at the house every
night and always inquire if she was
in. He faithfully did so, but with no
better result. She was hearty and
frank as ever, treating him as it he
had been her brother. He became
desperate. One night, when she had
come out to the little gate in the lane
with him, and was bidding him good
night, he held her hand lor ger than
usual, and said, tremblingly: -
''Mary, isn't this-isn't this Fri.
day." -. 80 -
She said: YES s..:..
