4 hint i'll the use of hot-water bags
is gained from trained nurse. Very
little water is used, not more than a
colfoecupFul in three pint bag, but it
is very hot. Before tho stopper is
screwed in, the air is pressed out OF
the bag by quick smoothing of the
hand toward the opening; in this way
the weight is considerably lessened.
Tlls particular nurse in attending a
pneumonia patient kept in use during
the severity of the attack six of the
bags, three of them upon the patient
at one time. During periods of the
critical two or three days, the bags
were changed every fifteen minutes,
but 80 light were they that their weight
did not in the least inconvenience the
sufferer.

An ingenious scheme in the interest
of charity is being put in practice with
much success in several cities. There
is hardly home anywhere in which
there is not more or less super.
annuated furniture, discarded utensils,
outgrown clothing, ETC., which is of no
use under the sun to the family. The
methods advocated is to gather in all
such "trash' that is worth while,
take it to q central point, sell it off al
auction, and devote the proceeds to
some charitable purpose. In some
places a local auctioneer volunteers
his services in selling the goods, free
of charge. The plan enables poor
people to buy useful articles at reason.

MILITARISM AND TRUSTS.

Added to those declarations will be
trusts, both of which owe their exis-
tence to the fostering care of the Re
publican party, and how nearly akin
are these creatures of toryism: i'm
perialism, which would conquer and
tyranniZe over foreign peoples, and
the trust, which represents the impe-
rial power in control of industry
There is the railroad magnate and the
monopolistic captain of industry, who
rule with sovereign power and sneeI
at democratic methods and business as
contemptuously as a czar. | for one
believe that time will demonstrate that
the imperialistic policy of this admin
istration is deliberately demanded by
the monopolstic forces which control
the Republican policy. / believe these
men well understand that military
force is the sole instrumentality
through which they can continue their
domination of our government, hence
they welcome any foreign policy which
will involve a large standing army
and what their purpose is in dealing
with protesting labor receives its per-
feet illustration in the military gov
ernment which has prevailed for many
months in Shoshone county, Idaho
where, for an offense against property
committed by few men, hundreds OF
citizens have been imprisoned, held al
the point of the bayonet, deprived oi
their civil rights and subjected to civil
wrongs which even the czar of Russia

The English Government, acting on
the experience gained in the war in
South Africa, promises to do certain
things for the Volunteers. Mr.. Wynd-
ham announced them as follows the
other day: (1l They were sending Off
GERS to Switzerland to examine the
Swiss rifle ranges; (2) that they in
tended to help Lord Wemyss's scheme
for Volunteer Reserve by granting
free ammunition; (3) that they would
encourage every Volunteer regiment
to form a company of mounted in.
fantry, but mounted on bicycles and
not on horses, for which purpose there
would be capitation grant; (4) that
there would be graduated series OF
capitation grants for shooting; (5) that
the Volunteers would have transport
on the same scale as the Militia; (6)
that the Volunteer batteries would be
rearmed with modern artillery. 1t is
clear that the public attitude toward
the Volunteers is to be changed, now
that they have shown how useful and
necessary they are.

1t is not much if any over twenty.
five years since five cents was the
lowest price for Chicago paper, be-
cause no smaller coin was in circula-
ton And now it is reported that
bargain counter prices have created a
demand there for half cents. These
are supplied by private manufacture,
but the Director of the Mint is dis.
posed to think that the demand for
these coins is so general that the
Government ought to strike them.
Twelve-and-a-half cent prices are
common enough, but in the East, at
whose use of cents the West sneered
very lately, there is not much objec-
tion to paying thirteen cents, or il
that seems unlucky, to giving a quar-
ter for two.

could afford to give him full credit for
his great victory. His action did not
interfere with their plans. 1t Is true
that Dewey says, Il am a Democrat of
the Cleveland type" That and his re-
port on the Philippine commission are
sufficient. In SO far as he has any
political convictions he stands for i'm
perialism and militarism. 1t Is said
that when he has made up his mind
on a few other important issues he will
give out statement of his beliefs.
Outside of the uneasiness. caused in
administration circles by his announce
ment the general feeling in Washing
ton was one of commiseration that so
gallant gentleman should, in his ig-
norance of matters political, have made
so ill-advised an announcement. 1t can
bring him no honor, and rather de-
tracts from the great naval reputation
to which he is so justly entitled.
The House and Puerto Rico.
The house Republicans now have the
opportunity of re-establishing them
selves in the respect of their constit-
uents and the entire country by declin-
ing to pass the Foraker Puerto Rican
tariff and government bill. The ad-
ministration leaders will try to force
vote on Wednesday april 1S) and
allow only a few hours for debate
Many members are absent on both
sides, but the Democrats will probably
manage to get back more Of their alb
sentees than the Republicans. The out
come is very problematical, but the
Republican leaders believe that moth
ing Is to be gained by delay.
All the Republicans who voted
against the original tariff bill still hold
to the same opinion, and there is sharp
protest from others that the govern
ment bill creates an oligarchy of
which the administration is the su-
preme head. The Puerto Ricans can
be taxed without representation, val
liable franchises can be given to ad-
ministration favorites the island can
be managed by "carpetbaggers," and
neither its inhabitants nor the people
of this country have any voice in the
matter. If the house Republicans pass
this obnoxious measure they certainly
will have to reckon with an outraged
public sentiment next fall.

WHERE AIR you. M'KlNLEY 2

We've been huntin' you, Mckinley, but
we don't know where you air;
When we clap our fingers on you, why,
we find you're never there.
When we hunted through the tariff in
the place you'd ought to be,
Why, you wasn't round there nowhere,
least as far as we could see.
In this Puerto Rico thingumbob we
thought we'd find you sure;
When we got there you'd been trek
king, like the smooth and willy
Boer;
So we asked the gold supporters II
they thought we'd find you there,
And they said they guessed so, some
place. but they didn't just know
where.
Alger said he hadn't seen you, and he
shed a bitter tear
When he said you'd gone an left him
like a sinking ship last year.
When we visited Mark Hanna, who
was busy countin' pelf,
Why, he said he couldn't tell us, fer he
didn't know hisself.
So we've just KEEP on a-huntin' till
we're nearly petered out,
And, although we thought we had you,
now we find we're still in doubt.
If these lines should ever reach you,
and you'd write us where you be,
You'd confer a good-sized favor oA
your friends, the G. o. P.

The Cloth of Ceremony.

One of the Tibetans was Dire ssed in
white, one in black, with square-cut
caps, Tartar physiognomy, very dark
complexions, and long pigtails, and
were well known to our people. They
approached us making many polite
bows, and, taking off their caps, pre-
sented the cloth of ceremony, as was
becoming from interiors to superiors.
This is form which is universal iu
Tibet, and extends into China,
though | do not remember ever to
have heard an explanation of the Gus
tom. The cloth we received was of
cotton, badly woven, but of fine tex
ture. about the size of small hand
kerchief, but so dirty as to show that
it had frequently performed similar
offices of civility before. The more
wealthy classes employ silk instead of
cotton cloths, the legend, "Om name
padme hum," being commonly woven
in damask at each end. The sale of
these cloths of ceremony, was given
to understand, constitute Govern
ment monopoly in this part of Tibet.

The number of prisoners in Eng,
land and Wales in 1870, according to
the London Chronicle, was 9,O5O;
and the number of scholars was l..
G93, ,059. In 1899 the scholars had in
creased to 5,6O1, 249; and the prison
ers had decreased to 1867. The
number of prisoners regularly de-
creased in this period as the number
of scholars increased. In 1870 one in
fifteen was in school, and one in S53
in prison; in 1899 one in six was in
school, and one in 1775 in prison. OF
the prisoners in 1898, 20.3 per cent.
could not read or write; 77.2 per cent
could read and write imperfectly, and
only 2.6 could read and write well. A
very few were unclassifed. And yet
some tell us that education does not
affect crime.

"Do you know this young lady2"
asked the policeman.
YES" said John; "she is Miss
| Grace Bennett and lives at -. Is
she hurt?"
THAT we can't tell for sure till the
ambulance and the surgeon come.
But we don't think so. They always
faint. She is a long time coming to,
though"
The rubber tired ambulance came
silently up and the surgeon was be-
side the girl before the vehicle stopped
He made a superficial examination
with professional dexterity, and said:
''This is not the ordinary faint from
terror. She must be taken to her
bone at once. or the hospital"
Tenderly she was lifted in and Johu
gave the address. He rode on before
to let her aunt know of the mishap.
Running up the steps he asked for
Mrs. Peters, the girls aunt.
"Miss Bennett was thrown from her
horse and they are bringing her here
in an ambulance. 1t is nothing SER
ious, am sure"
"Miss Bennett, Miss Bennett" said
the lady. 81 don't-or, yes, of
course. And are you Mr.. Asley?"
In the excitement it didn't seem
strange to him that she knew who he
was at once.
They carried the girl to her room
and inside of half an hour two sur
geons and trained nurse were by
her side. The surgeons shook their
heads and looked very grave. All at
tempts to arouse her had failed. She
lay in a stupor and her soft breathing
was the only sign of life.
When the surgeons said an opera.
ton was necessary Johns hopes fell.
Soon another surgeon and another
nurse and some suggestive-looking
boxes and cases arrived. Then John
tramped the long drawing-room wait
ing for the doctors to come down and
tell him if she lived or not. The
sickly-sweet smell of ether came float
ing down stairs as the door of the
chamber was opened, and he heard a
sing song voice that he knew uttering
meaningless words.
Then the door shut, and as one of
the nurses came down he waylaid her.
Before he had chance to ask she told
him the young lady was coming out of
the ether nicely, aud the doctors had
found a tiny piece of bone pressing on
the brain. But they felt sure she
would be all right with care.
All that long afternoon he stayed at
the house and hoped he might be of
some service. Finally he fell asleep,
worn out with all the anxiety and
misery. He was awakened by a touch
on his shoulder and found his father
standing over him. Here was more
mystery.
''How's Grace?" he asked.
"Alice is better and will be all right
soon. The girl up stairs is Alice
Cooper. She was Miss Bennett in Eu.

National Differences in Locomotive Power
American locomotive engineers
deem it advisable to design their en-
gines with a large margin of power.
If an express engine is designed to
take 200-ton load at fifty miles an
hour, and if that load should happen
to be increased to 3C0 tons, the loco
motive is still expected to be able to
take it and keep time, and usually
does so. Such, at any rate, is the ex-
perience of such an impartial and
level-headed observer as w. M.
Acworth. If an American express be
late at one point of its journey, the
engine is expected to make up the
lost time, even if the load be larger
than usual. And, again, this is gen
orally done.
But if an English engine is given O
single coach above its prescribed load, ,
the driver at once insists upon having
pilot" and commonly he gets one.
Or should the weather be bad, with
strong side wind or slippery rail, he
demands an assisting engine and is
accorded one, as a matter of course.
Obviously, this applies especially to
the case of single -wheelers, which are
so largely used on some English rail
ways, because their range of power is
much more sharply limited by adverse
conditions than is the case with
coupled engines. But in either case
it seems indisputable that a smaller
range of power is given to an English
locomotive than to an American. En-

The Practical Picture Hanger.

cures better results by calling in the
practical picture hanger. This man
has come to be n necessary adjunct OF
all we!l-regulated art establishments.
His ability to sound wall or drive a
raii with precision Is but minor fea

when pictures are hung by rule and
method, just so many feet from the

times. The pictures must be hung
according TO the lighting of the room.
In some rooms the window arrange

WE FORGET.

So many things we meant to do,
But we forgot.
The busy days were full OF care;
The long night fell all unaware;
You passed beyond loves pleading prayer,
While we forgot.
Now evermore through heart and brain
There breathes an undertone of pain.
Though what has been shonld be again,

Some place where love can clearly see
And not forget.
