FOOD FOR THE THINKER,
How to Become Informed on
Public Questions.

No man can vote intelligently
unless he thinks intelligently. Ia
this time of "wars and rumors of
wars" the greatest aid to intelli-
gent thinking and the best food
for intelligent thought is that
newspaper which is the greatest
and best. Important political is
sues are daily growing more i'm
portant. An intelligent under
standing Of the policy Of the ma
ton or a great political party is
something to be desired, and it is
the duty of every citizen to thor
oughly inform himself upon the.
leading topics Of the day.
The Semi Weekly Republic is
the greatest of all newspapers. Its
telegraphic and cable news service
excells that OF any other paper. 1t
prints new news fully-not imagi-
native occurances, but domestic
and world-distaDt, fully authenti-
Gated facts. The policies OF the
great political parties are now be-
ing discussed, Now is the time
to subscribe for the best medium
Of keeping in touch with the whole
world, the Semi Weekly Republic.
No less worthy OF attention is
the Republics Sunday magazine.
1t is replete each issue with the
best of special articles written by
by the best OF literary talent, Its
beautiful half.tone illustrations
have already made it famous, and
their quality and quantity will be
preserved. New features of abb
sorbing attraction are illustrated
and enlarged upon in manner
equal to the high priced maga-
zines. Events of current interest
are set forth in entertaining style.
There is humor in its pages, too,
and for the benefit of the ladies
the latest Paris fashions are each
week exquisitely illustrated and
described. The Republics Sun
day magazine is standard.

The political damage done to the
Republican party by the Cuban scam
dal, being utterly unjustifiable, could
not last long and is now believed to
have worn itself out. The fact that
tho revelations have all been made
by strong administration men, and
that the investigation is being pushed
by all the powers Of the government
despite Democratic slurs, is thought
to have brought back to the party
the few waverers. The general feel
ing seems to be that the country is
committed to expansion and to re-
ducing the government of Cuba to
order before turning it over to its
people, and that nothing Will be
gained by placing The management of
these things in the hands of the
Democrats. If Republican Office
holders have proved dishonest, what,
it is asked can be expected of Demo-
cratic ones? In this correction, it is
worth nothing that there have been
many recent important defections
from the Democratic party and few
from the Republican. For instance,
Frank Jones of New Hampshire, who
for years has been Democratic lea
der in that state, some time ago came
out for Mckinley, who was elected q
delegate to the Philadelphia conven-
ton. Ex-senator Mantle of Montana,
who left the Republican party in 1896
to support Mr.. Bryan on the sill
yer issue, has returned, and will
support Mckinley this year. Several
of the Colorado delegates to the
Philadelphia convention we're sup
porters of Bryan four years ago, and
ex-Congressman Belford of that state
has announced that hc has returned
to the Republican fold. Still more
recently, Judge Morse of Michigan,
long a prominent Democrat in the
has come out for McKin-
ley. These are all men Of conse-
quence and influence, and their action
is full of suggestion. On tho other
hand, while there are Republicans like
Hoar and Edmunds who oppose ex-
pansion, they will support Mr.. Nc
Kinley for reelection. There are
sound money Democrats like Bourke
Cochran and Don NJ. Dickinson who
just now are flirting with the Bryan
ties for modification of the Chica-
70 platform, but if they fail to get
that-as they are likely to-they are
unlikely to support Bryan. Only
Senator Wellington, among those of
who aggressively sup
ported Mr.. Mckinley in 1896 has
taken what is tantamount to stand

POULTRY POINTERS.

When the fowls are troubled by in
sects of various kinds, which go about
the roosts and other places, try rid
ding the hen roost of them with BIZ
chloride of carbon put in bottles and
hung beneath the roosts.
Chickens with white legs are pre-
ferred at the experimental fattening
stations established by the Canadian
Government. Chickens with yellow
legs are acceptable, but those with
black legs are not wanted at all.
The great trouble the raiser of poul-
try has to contend with is wet wealth
er, which causes a large death rate
among the little ones. But the poul-
terer who provides good, dry coops,
and puts them in dry place reduces
the losses to the minimum.
Usually the cause of mortality
among the chickens attributed to
cholera is to be found in carelessness
in feeding. Irregularity in meals
and in quantity of food provided, as
we'll as poor quality or the wrong
kind, are as fatal as cholera, if not
more so.

USE FOR IDLE HOURS,

The schools may do a great deal
for youth, but he can do more for
himself.
THAT is, what he makes of him
self depends upon himself, and not
upon the things that schools tumble
into his head like loads of coal into
a cellar.
YOU can overcome any defect of
education if you care enough about it
to try.
1T is not much harder than learn
ing to dance or play pocket pool, and
is about billion times more satisfac-
tory.
"The ground that may be covered
by the systematic use of even small
part of what we call idle time is
amazing.
George Grote, the great Greek
HISTORIAN, was a banker. He had
his evenings to himself. Byresoitte.
ly devoting short time every eve-
ming to study, in a few years he had
taught himself Greek, mastered the
whole range of Greek literature, fill
ed his mind with the knowledge of
Greece, and written his history, an
imperishable monument of learning
and research.
"He did that with about half an
hour every night.
Another man took fifteen minutes
a day, and in ten years had SO satu-
rated himself with the choicest works
Of English literary that he had ex-
pert knowledge of them.
"There is man in New York who
taught himself German by studying
it while riding on the T. between his
Office and his home.
"He had formerly spent that time
in mental vacuity-torpor. Now he
gets great profit out of it, for he is
reading the best books in the rich
German literature.
1--WE can multiply these veritable
examples to lengths that might be
tiresome.
"The idle hours are really the
most valuable in life. There never
was successful man or woman that
did not turn such hours to profit, and
there never was man or woman that
habitually wasted them who didn't
end in failure.
cit is rather an odd thought, but
perfectly true, that there is at this
moment probably not one poorly-paid,
hard-working young man-clerk, Ste
nographer, salesman, artisan, labor
er, Office boy, whatever he may be-
that has not ample time to make
himself great success in life, just as
there are few that will make them
selve anything but comparative fail
ures. And what will chiefly deter
mine one way or the other are the
idle hours, you can be very sure Of
that"

THE AGE OF OYSTERS.

The oyster at the commencement
of its career is so small that two mil
lions would only occupy a square
inch. In six months each individual
oyster is large enough TO cover
quarter, and in twelve months half
dollar. The oyster is its own archi-
tect, and the shell grows as the fish
inside grows, being never too small.
1t also bears its age upon its back,
and it is easy to tell the age of an
oyster by looking at its shell, as that
of horses by looking at their teeth.
Every one who has handled an
oyster shell must have noticed the
successive layers overlapping each
other. These are technically term
ed "shots," and each one marks a
years growth, so that by counting
them the age of the oyster can be de-
termined. Up to the time of its ma
turity-that is, when 4 years of age
the shots are regular and successive,
but after that time they become ir-
regular, and are piled one upon an
other, so that the she'll grows bulky
and thickened. Fossil oysters have
been seen of which each shell was
nine inches thick, whence they may
be guessed to be 600 years old. One
million to two million oysters are
produced by single parent, and their
scarcity may be accounted for by the
fact that man is not the only oyster
eating animal. The starfsh loves
the oyster and preys upon it unceas-
ingly. A variety of whelk is also
very fond of young oysters, to get at
which it bores right through the shell
and sucks the fish up through the
hole thus made.

SOFT WHITE ARMS.

The skin of the upper parts of the
arms is often rough and red, and
therefore source of annoyance to the
owner. The arms should be bathed
every night with hot water, to which
little ammonia has been added, and
then we'll rubbed with a well-soaped
loofah. Dry thoroughly by rubbing
hard with towel, the object being
to set up a glow. Rough, red arms
are generally caused by a poor circu-
lation, and the rubbing will help to
remedy this. The arms should never
be allowed to become chilled, so that
long wooden sleeves must be worn,
and all tightness avoided round the
armhole and wrist, says Home Notes.
When the arms have been dried,
take little glycerine and lemon juice,
and with the palm of the hand rub it
in keep rubbing until the skin no
longer feels sticky. In the morning
wash the arms again with hot water,
soap and loofah, and rinse in clear,
tepid water. Dry well, dust over
with a good powder and give final
rub with a soft chamois leather.

METALS NEED REST.

IL may sound strangely to hear per-
sons talk about tired steel axle"
or a "fatigued iron RAIL-" bat that
sort of talk is heard along railways
and in machine shops, and is consid-
cred correct, says correspondent.
"The idea of inanimate metal becom-
ing weary p may be your thought,
but experts familiar with the ways
of machinery says that work makes
it tired, and that it needs rest, just
the same as you do.
"What caused the axle to break !"
asks the railway superintendent.
Fatigue of the metal" answered
the inspector.
That answer is frequent and often
in accordance with the facts. At
times an axle breaks or rail parts or
a wheel separates under much less
than the usual strain, and the most
careful examination possible will
show no defect or weakness. This
leads engineers to charge fatigue to
the metal with the result.
Sinews of steel can tire as well as
muscles of Drawn, and metal that
does not have its rest will cease to do
its work, and may cause great dam
age. At least so the engineers say
and assert that without rest the affin-
ity of the molecules of the metal for
each other becomes weakened, until
the breaking point is reached. Then
comes trouble.
BARRIERS hold the same opinion, and
say that razors must have rest, or
else you cannot keep an edge on
them and many men who shave
themselves keep two or more razors
SO as to make a vacation for recuper-
alton possible.
