Not since the days of Andrew Jack
son, more than sixty years ago, has
any president, with the exception of
General Grant, served for eight contin-
uGus years. Grant, it may be said
brought in a new broom in his second
administration, for he swept out big
lot of his old officeholders.
The knowing ones do not hesitate 70
predict that there will be a great weed
ing out in our diplomatic corps. The
rich man who wants to represent us at
a European court always has the adj
vantage over the poor man. unless the
latter is Of exceptional ability and the
mission is of a delicate nature, which
is rarely the case. AS at most of these
places the duties are mainly social the
rich man, it is considered will reflect
more honor and dignity on the country,
and he will spend his own money Law
fShly to make show.
But it is not only for the diplomatic
positions that the rush will be made.
There viii be reaching after many Of
the pleasant and profitable positions
which. in Washington, rank not very
far behind cabinet offices, and for the
many easy places under the treasury
and postoffice departments and the de-
partment of justice in the large cities.
The president has become a master in
politics, and while, as said, this ques-
ton of patronage is going to disturb
him some in his next term and perpleX
him more or less, he viii be sure to en-
deavOr to solve it on the lines of the
best practical politics.
So the ms who want a new lease
| had better prepare to bring all their
batteries into play when the time rolls
around.

DEMAND.
(special Correspondenee.l

Washington, Dec. 26.-One of the diff
fcult and most embarrassing questions
which Will confront Mr.. Mckinley in
his next term viii be the disposition of
the patronage.
The president has informed the coun-
try of his wish that the members of
the cabinet shall remain with him after
the 4th of March. Pretty generally,
from one end of the land to the other,
the officials. high and low, have not
waited for an invitation, but have made
no secret Of the fact that it will give
them much pleasure to have new
commission for four years when their
present term expires. They take the
ground that as Mr. Mckinley has been
reelected, they should all sail in the
same boat. This is one way OF putting
1t, but the "OUts" look ut it from an
altogether different point of view Tn
less appearances are very deceptive

Suggestions for Preserving the Hair by

The men of my fathers genera zion

To protect the hair coverings from the
grease on their heads tides came into

the other way, and now pomades of all
kinds are tabooed. That there has

Grafton is general impression, al
though | know of no statistics to sup

ago, when | first became interested in
the study of diseases of the hair,
accepted the teaching of the time that
pomades did no good, and, becoming
rancid, did positive harm. With en-
larging experience l am becoming
more and more convinced that was
wrong and that one reason why the
hair is lost so early nowadays is be-
cause the sons have forgotten the
teachings and practice of their fathers
in regard to the use of pomades. They
neither use pomades nor seek to stimu-
late the natural oily supply to the hair
by systematic brushing. Instead
they daily wet their heads with water
to enable them to arrange their hair.
BY not using pomades and by wetting
the hair instead of brushing it their
hair becomes more and more dry, dan

The Pivotal Battle.

He impressed me nightly with the
horrors of war. In the eight hours
that we rode together in the cars he
recited to me the scenes through
which he had passed in the civil war.
He said that there came one battle
upon which everything seemed to
pivot. kilograms from Washington
said that the life of the nation de-
pended on that struggle. He said to
me: II went into that battle, sir
with my son. His mother and

There is a horse In Havana, Cuba,
which probably has saved the lives of
1900 persons. He is kept in Havana's
meteorological laboratory, which, like
the Pasteur Institute of Baltimore, was
founded by newspaper. This horse
was given to that institute in 1895.
From that year up to date, it is said
to have furnished $4,000 cubic cent?
meters of anti-diphtheria serum, with
a record of 1900 cures.

A recent visitor to an astronomical
observatory looked through the great
telescope, and reported a remarkable
appearance in the sky. The professor,
standing near, was incredulous; the
locker persistent. The man of science
took his turn at the instrument, and
then quietly remarked: There is a
cobweb forming across the glass. That
accounts for your vision of the extra
ordinary object" Observers in vari-
Gus departments of human thought
and activity, who report the coming of
wonderful or threatening thirrcSs into

web to thank for what they see. The

The famous Trans-Missouri Freight
association decision of the Supreme
Court was said to have thrown the
railroads back into competitive"
state. But railroad passenger asso-
citation has decreed that any road run
ming q train between New York and
Chicago in less than twenty-eight
hours must charge 81 above the regular
fare. That does not look like competi-
tion. An association sufficiently power
full to compel the rich and enterprising
roads to forego the advantage of their
enterprise is hardly the shorn, crippled
and decrepit creature that its members
have represented it as being.
