The Hocking sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1871-1906, 1900-09-27

In the dismal tenement, life often be
comes as gray and blank as the grimy
walls. There the simplest ornament
the cOmmOnest reminder Of the com
mandment that we must not live by
bread alone, often gives more comfort
to the very poor than the food or money
which charity supplies. The author OF
"A Ten Years War" gives this picture
of one of his battles in the slums:
The stuffy rooms of some of the tene-
ments seem as If they were made for
dwarfs. Most decidedly, there is not
room to swing the prOverbial cat in any
one Of them.
In one, helped the children last holi-
day to set up Christmas tree. so that
a glimpse of something not utterly sOr-
did and mean might for once enter their
lives.
Three weeks later l found the tree
standing yet in the corner. 1t was very
cold. and there was no fire in the room.
I'VE were going to burn it," said the
little woman, whose husband was in
the insane asylum, land then couldn't.
1t looked so kind O. cheery-lik there in
the corner"
My tree had borne the fruit I wished.

Favoritc of Queen Victoria.

Everybody knows that Queen Victo.
ria prefers Marie COrelli's novels 10
those of almost any other writer. This
young woman who is always provoking
discussion and stirring up literary trou.
bic of some sort or other has lived since
infancy in Il literary atmosphere. her
stepfather. DIR. Mackay. and stepmoth-
er. Eric Mackay, both being known
as poets.
Miss Corelli is not fond of fads. She
does not ride a wheel. though she is an
adept mt rowing. Cigarettes she alb
hors and flowers and books are her re-
lief from work. In tine highlands of
Scotland she has charming cottage
surrounded by silver birches and here
she asks cOngcnial friends to visit her.
Some of Miss COrelli's works have
been dramatized. though not by her.
Nearly every novel she has written of
late years has contained some fling at
society or the existing order of things
and as n result the author has found
her books boomed by the papers which
have scolded her in type. She is young.

Hairy Races of Mankind.

The Amos, who inhabit the northern
most islands of the Japan Archipelago,
are the hairiest people in the world.
Among them, the hair over the shoui-
ders apd on the back and limbs is some
times SO thick and long as to deserve
the name of fur. The Australians and
the Todas of the Nilgherries are dis
tinguished for their hairyness. In Bra
zil there is tribe called the Cafusos,
who possess hair of very extraordi-
nary kind. 1t rises perpendicular from
the head in close, curly masses, and
forms a wig of such enormous dimen-
sions that the pOssessOrs must stOOp
low when entering their huts.

Chinese "UncIcs."

Among the Canton houses there are
occasional exceptions to the usual one
stOried or low constructions. Some of
these are built like square towers four
or five stories high, with no outside
windows save at a considerable dis
tance above the ground. and no outside
projections by which thieves might ger
in. These establishments are called
pawnshOps. but they appear more to re-
semble banks. 1t is usual among the
Chinese to deposit their possessions of
value. when not in use, in these estab-
lishments. The people also store there
in summer their winter clothing, on
which money is often lent. To have
dealings with pawnshop is in no way
considered derOgatory to Chinese gen.
tleman's dignity.

-Four years ago forty eight more cleo
toral votes would have elected Bryan.
To he elected now he must get that
many votes in addition TO those he had
i'll lS96. and if he loses any of his form
er votes he must get enough in addition
To make up for the loss.
In 1896 several States on each side
were very evenly divided. a slight
drift would have sent them over the
line. Everything depends now. there
fore. on the direction of the drift \
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 there is toward Bryan The
Democrats are indisputably stronger in
Vermont now than they were four
years ago. What light does that throw
on the possibilities in other States?
The Republican vote in Vermont has
fallen Off about 10 per cent as cont
pared with the corresponding election
in 1896, while the Democratic vote has
increased about 16 per cent.

lS96 the Republican vote there was
BIB. :5s23 1J4. and the Democratic 305,513. If
the Republicans lose 10 per cent and
the Democrats gain 16 per cent the Re-
publican vote in Indiana this year will
be POI $40 and the Democratic 354 .513.
leaving Democratic plurality of
63.OS3.
\ similar process would give the
Democrats Delaware 10y AZ, West Vir

Ohio 10y S0,J0l, and North Dakota by
2S3.
Here are 62 electoral votes that Bryan
did not get in 1896. III he should get
them now he could afford to lose one
vote in California and four in Washing

233 electoral votes TO 214.

At congress held in Paris in 1887 II

and precision surprising anything pre-
viously attempted. 1t is impossible to
exaggerate the Importance of such q

The work WAS far too vast for the
powers of an observatory alone. There

was divided into eight belts or zones
of approximately equal area ana each
OF these WAS assigned to single OBJ
servatory to be photographed. \ series
of telescopes was specially construct
ed, so that every part of the work
should be done with the same type of
instrument. As far as possible an
attempt was made to secure uniformity
of methods, and particularly uniform
scale of precision. To cover the entire
sky upon the plan proposed no less than
HOS negatives are required, and most
of these have now been finished. The
further measurement of the pictures
ana the drawing UP of vast printed
star catalogue are also well under way.
One of the participating observatories.

II never hear anybody speaking Of a

place in my State a number of years
ago between Tom Stuart, then editor of
the Winchester Democrat, and I. n.
Boone, descendant of the great Dan
iel, and at that time holding the office
for which Stuart was making the race
Stuart was young man, very progress
i've and quick of mind, while Boone was
well along in years, slow of thought
and action, and especially proud of the
TACT that he was representative of the
farmers. So Jealous was he in this re-
gard that he carried it to the excess of
almost total abstinence from water for
washing purposes, and he would let his
hands and face go unwashed for sew
eral days at time.
Stuart was quite the reverse in his
ideas of cleanliness, and at one of their
joint discussions he gave his opponent
blow that fairly knocked him out
Boone was making his regular speech.
and at the proper place in it he referred
to the matter of his relation to the toll
ing masses.
My friends he said. holding up a
pair of hands that looked as il they
hadn't been washed in n week, to let
you see for yourselves that 1 am. a

say that l think they need soap and

shout and Boone was completely
floored, and later Stuart was elected
