SIGNS OF VICTORY.

z Four years ago forty-eight more
electoral votes would have elected
Bryan. 10 be elected now he
! must get that many votes in
! addition to'those he had in 1896,
aud if he lose any of his former
votes he must get enough in addi-
tion to make up for the loss.
In 1896 several states Oh each
side we're very evenly divided. A
slight drift would have sent them
over the line. Everything depends
now, therefore, on the direction of
sthe drift. A small majority in a
state is safe if the drift is in the
direction of making it secure.
The Vermont election indicates
that the drift theTel is toward
Bryan. The Democrats are in

now than they we're four years ago.
What light does that throw on the
possibilities in other states2
The Republican vote in Vermont
has fallen off about 10 per cent as
compared with the corresponding
election in 1895. while the Demo-
cratic vote has increased about 16
per cent.
Indiana has Is electoral votes.
10 1896 the Republican vote there
was S29,754, and the Democratic
305,57S. If the Republicans lose
10 per cent and the Democrats gain
16 per cent the Republican vote in
Indiana this year will be 291,379
and the Democratic 354,573 leaving
a Democratic plurality of 63,0S3.
A similar process would give
the Democrats Delaware by 447,
West Virginia by 1892 Kentucky
by 56,398, Ohio by S0,501, and
North Dakota by 2S2.

There is comfort In the knowledge 50
often expressed, that Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfllls every
wish In curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
OF the urinary passage. II corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
1t. or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect Of Swamp.Root Is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

says an exchange, and 1t is wrong thing
to encourage them In their caprices.
There comes a time in the life Of almost
every woman when she has to choose be-
tween a species of slavery and freedom.
and when, if she ever expects to enjoy
any future liberty. she must hoist the red
flag of revolt and make a fight for her
rights. 1t counts for nothing that the op-
pressor is generally of her own household
and is blissfully unconscious of being a
tyrant. One may be bound just as secure
ly and as fatally with silken cords as
with iron letters. and the fact that our
jailer happens to love us does not offer
adequate compensation for being in pris-
on. No amount of gliding ever made a
cage attractive to the poor wretch within.

Toilet sponges should be cleansed very
frequently over and above the ordinary
rinsing they receive in soap and water.
Put a teaspoonful Of ammonia and tea
spoonful of powdered borax in pint of
warm water and wash the sponge in that.
Or wash the sponge by first using the
juice of lemon, letting it penetrate to
every part of the fiber. and finishing off
with warm water. After either process
let it dry in the open air. A washcloth
should not be applied to the face. by the
way. Washing the face with the hands
is far superior for the complexion.

Various Views of Women.

visitors were tarrying for the interesting
discussion that had sprung up as to when
a woman first began to feel that she was
growing oldno man being present. They
had agreed that it had nothing to do
with the discovery of the first gray hair,
as that may come at any age in these
times. The matter of wrinkles was
more serious, but clever women know
how to get rid of them so well that that
hardly counts. Il think one of the I'M
mistakable indications is when a woman
lets the consideration whether a certain
gown or hat will wear well take preced-
ence over the one of it's merely looking
