Fears the Fusionists.

Tucson, Arizona, March ~.
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly.
Dear Brother: The outcome Of the
meeting of the national committee held
in Lincoln, Neb., on the 10Th, the inde-
pendent stand taken by our committee
in the appointment Of a national con-
vetion Of the Populist party. to be held
in Cincinnati. May 9, must be highly
gratifying to every true Populist. But
we are not out Of the woods yet.
The appointment by the fusionists Of
national convention in sharp compe-
tition with our own committee has an
old trap to catch grudgeons, the same
important Specification. It is the same
old trap to catch gudgeons, the same
1898. There is to be on the 9Th Of May
next two Populist conventions, one at
Cincinnati, the other at Sioux Falls;
which Of these two conventions repre-
sents the true Populist party? This
question will be submitted, on an ap-
propriate writ to some Judge of the
federal court, a decision will be reach
ed. That decision will establish the
Sioux Falls convention as the true
representative Of the Peoples party, no
doubt. In order to avoid this danger,
in my view, the Cincinnati convention
should make all its appointments and
nominations under a new name. /
would suggest National Union.
That name was talked OF before the
national convention of the Peoples par
ty, nearly eight years ago, but the name
Peoples party got the floor. .
f. The" name National Union fully ex-
presses what we area national party
in union with the North and South
Sast and West, and neucleus, as we
hope, for all reformers to unite in one
grand union. Pass it around and lei
us see what our people have to say
about it. I am slow to believe that oul
newly appointed executive committee
and our national reform press will in
any manner be guided by sort Of chart
table timidity, or fail in any degree tc
grasp'and meet the situation.
Bet the Representative stand as
sentinel to watch the fusionists during
the coming few weeks.
Respectfully,
T. H. CANFIELD.

Too Much Red Tape.

MALLORY, Mimi, March 23.-Ediitor
Representative.-Dear Sir: am going
to send my referendum vote. l have
been trying to get some more. but could
not. How do they make their nomina-
tions in Switzerland? I think we will
have to modify our precinct club plan
somewhat after the Kentucky state plan
Our plan has got too many rules and too
many officers. Too much red tape and
folderol to ever take with the masses.
I'm glad those national committeeman
took the bits in their teeth at Lincoln
and called the convention at Cincinnati
leadership. What would we want to
wait and tag around after Butler for?
That was what played hell with us in
the first place. No. never. On to Gin
cinnati. l wish to God had the means
and time I'd go too and make the crowd
one bigger. l cant see why we should
waste any time with the fusionists. but
60 ahead and show that we know what
to do and how to do It and we will get
recruits In plenty.
/ wish we had you In the United
States senate in place Of either Cush or
Knute. AS a legislator I think there
are few to equal and none to excel you.
I have no patience with pretending
mid readers who say. the flag must stay
In the Philippines because it has been
once planted there. Watch such men.
/ think they will vote for Mckinley next
fall. The nag Is there in the interest OF
robbers and murderers, and therefore
bring it home Yes. think the skies
are clearing now. This last move has
given me more hope and courage than
have had for long time.
On to Cincinnati.

DEAD SHOT
HE CANNOT REMEMBER NOUNS.
Peculiar Cause Of = Russian Sailors
Special Forgetfulness. s

SNGC101 EOE8St101AS00s
At the Boston city hospital recently. ac-
cording to the Evening Transcript, the Pc
culiar case of Russian sailor who could
speak English fairly we'll, but who could
not remember nouns. was brought to the
attention of Harvard medical students. The
sailor had always carried such familiar
articles as watch. matches and knife
and knew the uses OF each one. but the
faculty of remembering their names had
totally gone from him. The examination
into his case was carried on somewhat after
this fashion.
The examining physician took out his
watch and holding in front of the man. said:
''Do you know what this is?"
smile Of recognition pas passed over the the
what that is; it is a match. No. that isn't
match, it's a-a-' and blank, irri-
tated expression came upon his face Then
the doctor said: isn't this watch?"
"Oh. yes,'' exclaimed the sailor, that's
a watch-a watch"
a tumbler and then with a match. The
Russian could remember the name Of an
object or thing about five seconds. but for
any greater length of time his mind could
not retain the name.
The medical explanation Of the case is
this: Over two years ago the sailor was
troubled with heart disease particle
from a valvular vegetation which had grown
on his heart became detached, started on
a journey through one OF the large arteries
which lead up through the neck into the
head and became fixed in the little brain
area which controls the power OF speech AS
long as that bit Of foreign matter remains
in that spot the sailor will be unable to
remember the names Of objects or things
In every other way the man Is enjoying
normal health. -
The medical name for the disease Is motor
ophocio Cases Of If are rare. and do not
appear often than once in three or four
years II the treatment which the man Is
undergoing Is successful he will probably
regain this most important power. At
present however the loss Of this faculty Is
decidedly irritating to the Russian.

The History of Thin bles.

The first thimble seen in England
was made in London less than 200 years
ago by a metal worker named John
Lofting. He acquired large fortune
and great fame in the manufacture Of
the new accessory to the needleworker's
art. The implement was at first called
the thumb bell, and was worn on the
thumb. Lettings thimbles were made
OF either iron or brass, and, specimens
OF them are exant, many Of. which are
preserved as heirlooms. Gold, silver,
iron, ivory, steel, pearl, celluloid and
sometimes glass are utilized In making
thimbles nowadays.
In China the ladies of high class use
very dainty thimbles Some are carved
from enormous pearls, with bands of
fine gold, on which are engraved all
sorts of fantastic things, the etchings of
which serve to catch the needle, as the
holes OF the outside barbarian thimbles
do The thimble always has a mother
of-pearl case. With the thimble the
Chinese lady always has a delicate pair
OF scissors OF the finest steel, in a
sheath Of pear, and a pearl needle case.
The articles are all enclosed in an ex-
quisitely inlaid case of the purest
mother-of-pearl.
The manufacture Of thimbles is SIM
pie enough. Dies of the different sizes
are used, into which the metal, whether
gold, silver or steel, is pressed. The
semiperforations, finishing and polish
ing or tempering, are done afterwards.
Celluloid is nodded. The best thimbles
are said to be made in France.
The queen of Siam has a thimble
which was a present from her royal
husband. 1t is made Of gold, in the
form Of lotus bud-the lotus being the
royal f1ower-and is thickly studded
with diamonds so arranged as to form
her name and the date OF her marriage
This gift was equal to an order that
the ladies Of Siam should use thimbles
and they have used them ever since.

Housekeeping ON the Farm.

Housekeeping ON the Farm.
BY Laura Carpenter.
Sixteen years Of farm life have very
greatly modified my ideas of good
housekeeping. and proven that few of
its rules and regulations are inviolable,
but far the greater number can and
must be made to conform to our partic-
ular' needs and conditions.
Making husband and children feel
that housekeeping is of far more &C
count than they defeats our highest
aims.
Judicious shirking-learning what
can best be left undone-is an import
ant duty Of the home-maker.
All work and no play makes Jacks
mother as dull as Jack" Don't wash,
iron, bake or brew after dinner.
There is great recuperative power In

Squares of Cheesecloth.

A dozen squares of cheesecloth, Of
different sizes, and hemmed, is some
thing that any little girl over six years
old is capable Of making for a grand
mother or aunt who Is a good house,
keeper, and has plenty of uses for
cheesecloth in the kitchen, especially
In the way Of jelly and gravy straining,
wiping fish and meats, besides the in
Vulnerable uses to which it may be
put In covering food. These squares
should be made of different sizes, and
may be hemmed by hand or machine.
+ Purchase six yards of the cheesecloth,
which may sometimes be found az
low as three and four cents per yard.
Cut two or three squares the full width,
one yard, and for the smaller ones cut
some OF the yard squares into halves
and some into quarters, as preferred.

Where IL MY Boy Tonight

There is no fairer sight than that Of
boy-her Joy and pride! Mother to
whom God has given this precious gift,
clasp him to your warm heart, feel his
soft curls on your cheek, listen to his
sturdy little heart beating against your
own, and breathe prayer for wisdom
and strength to guide this little life into
right ways.
You feel you would fain keep him so
always. No, you would not; that.
would be stagnation. Your boy has be-
come a part of the great world. And
life is upon him. Life, with all its
pleaures, Its sorrows, its possibilities,
and it is yours to train, to develop, to
prepare this soul to meet them. Do not
fear. It is your mission. You, and
you alone, can do this work. Does It
seem too vast? Will 1t require too great
a sacrifice of self? Remember Him
who said: Suffer little children to
come unto he." He gave himself. At
His feet, daily, drink deep draughts Of
love and strength, and as you freely re-
ceive. freely give.

return, and so counteract the contami-
mating influences they possibly have
met.
Where Is my boy tonight? Is he as
