THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL Con-
vENTIoN.-Kansas City, Mo-, has been
chosen for the place of holding the
next National Democratic Convention.
The National Committee met in
Washington, yesterday, every State
and Territory being represented in
person or by proxy. Milwaukee, Wis,
was the only competing city, and
when the vote was taken Kansas City
received 40 votes to for the Lake
city.

Here are few lines from the pen of
j. Whitcomb Riley, the hoosier poet,
which il we would accept as one of the
rules of our lives, would help to send a
ray of brightness into many darkened
hearts:
If you should see fellow man with
troubles flag unfurled.
A lookin' like he didn't have friend in
all the world,
Go up and slap him on the back. and
holler, "H'yo do"
An grasp his hand SO warm he II know
he's got friend in you.
Then ak him what's a hurtin' of him.
and laugh his cares away,
An tell him the darkest part of the
night is just before day.
Don't talk graveyard palaver, but say
it right out loud,
That God sprinkles sunshine in the
trail OF every cloud.
A fool pup, while rambling through
the fields, found hole that belonged to
humble bee, and with youthful curios-
ity, inserted his nose in the opening.
The head of the bee family was at home,
and the next minute the pup turned a
somersualt backwards and howled in
agony. He continued to howl as he ran
to his mother and showed her a swollen
place on his nostril about the size of,an
acorn, but his mother said as she ram
med her offspring smeller in soft mud
to relieve the pain: my son, if you
will learn to keep your nose out of other
peoples business you will find that the
current of life will run much smoother
for you" There is a lesson in this in
the average human being.
Young man, dear young man, did
you know the girl you adore is ready
and waiting to give you favorable
answer when you muster up courage
enough to ask her? Don't try to make
up and memorize a set speech. 1t
won't work. Numbers have tried it
and never did get of their speech that
involved so much thought and time.
If you have no parlor courage and fail
to get the needed inspiration from a
buggy ride or moonlight stroll, try
swinging on the gate. The yard gate
has proven in many instances to be the
gate to bliss.

The principal Of the school, who Is
deeply interested In these children,
hopes to train those who are strong
enough to do some kind-of work that
can be carried on at home, and not
only will make them self-supporting,
but add to their contentment Of mind.
Sewing, bent iron work, wood carving,
and similar occupations could be
taken up advantageously by many.
There are other children in the
building. kindergarten pupils who are

parents are at work. The considera-
ton and Kindness that they show to
the less fortunate children are beauti-
full. The principal says that the com
ing Of the cripples has had an excel
lent effect upon the whole school. It
is much easier; to keep them quiet and
to train them to be gentle when they
have the cripples to think Of. and they
are eager to help them and to- make
things pleasant for them.

them andFsa great sh0p tosthe work.

Educa.e the Women.

In a ermo recently delivered at
Rome by Bishop Spalding of Peoria,
ILL.,, a Roman Catholic ecclesiast, he
said Since it is our duty to educate, It
is our duty to give the best education,
and first Of all to give the best educa-
tionato woman; for she. IS mother, IS
the aboriginal God-appointed educator.
What hope is there Of genuine prog
ress, in religious life especially, II. we
leave her ~uneducated? Where woman
is ignorant, man is coarse and sensual,
where her religion is but a superstition
ne is sceptical and i%rreverent. II we
are to have a race Of enlightened, mo-
bic and brave men, we must give to
woman the best education it is posi-
BILE for her to receive. She has the
same rightias q ma to become all that
she may be, to know whatever may
be known. to do whatever IS fair and
jrst and good. In souls there is no
sex. II we leave half tho race In ig-
$no.ance, how shall we hope to lift the
other half into the light of truth and
love? @

Germany is passing through what
may be called a great bath cycle"
For a century, more or less, the Eng
lishman has been regarded as the
worlds foremost bather, but the Ger
man will soon challenge him in this
regard. OF course the government is at
the bottom of the movement, as it is
at the bottom of almost everything else
in the fatherland. 1t probably began
ten or perhaps twenty years ago. COM
ing to the notice of some under secre-
tary of a sub director Of a board Of
health. This under secretary, being a
man of observation, thought that the
Gemans would be a better people if
they bathed more, SO he proposed a
free bath scheme to his chief. The idea
!wormed its way upward, accumulat-
ing red seals and documentary empha-
sis until it reached some man in u
thority who had never heard of the
under secretary Of the sub director, but
who believed in water. The next day
the government declared, Let there be
baths in Germany" and there e
baths. One of these is at Chemnitz,
which is a large manufacturing city,
making immense quantities of hosiery
and knit goods. as well as iron and
steel machinery. 1t is a splendid place
for a free bath, and the bath in ques-
ton is excellently adapted to its pur-
pose. 1t is built by the municipality,
the work being thoroughly done, and
the management, like everything Ger
man, being methodical, orderly, and
clearly to a degree. The bathhouse is
a square, one-story brick building,

later reinforced by 700 reindeer doe

The chief glory Of India In the way
of architecture is the famous Tai Ma
bal, at Agra, I must try and tell you
a little about it, though I warn you
that it is an indescribable wonder.
Perhaps .Bayard Taylor has o
nearly described it than any n else.
First, let me give you the story Of it in
brief. 1t is a tomb erected by Shah
Jehan, the son of Akbar, the Great. to
commemorate his favorite wife, Ma
hal. 1t was built only about 800 years
ago. 1t is said to have been ten years
in building, and in that time 10000
men were employed in one way or an
other. The cost of it was about G1,-
DOC, 600, which, at the price of wages,
paid with US, would many times dou-

garden, which is still exquisitely kept

form there rises a graceful minaret
tower, 14O feet in height, of exquisite
proportions, covered with a beauti-
fully designed canopy. Each tower
has three platforms Or balconies equal
distance from the ground.
The Tai proper is situated in the
middle of this platform, and is a
building, say, 100 feet square, or rath-
er more than that. The proportions
between the square of the platform
and that of the Tai proper is two tt

the extent of, say. twenty feet, In
which there is a deep arched and
crowned recess. On each side OF these
recesses are, Of course. the main ones,
magnificent in proportion, reaching
from q low plinth to almost the top or
the tomb. The building is itself nat
rooted, but from the roof springs the
most magnificent dome of pure white
marble, in the world. There are o
minor domes on the roof, and many
beautiful and delicate m%inarets. The
whole building is Of pure white mar
BILE, except the black marble and dif-
ferent colored stones that are inlaid to
garnish the cornices or write In the
Koran. There is not a bit Of wood or
iron about the whole building.

unuttered music: it is an Sratorio IN

SHOES FOR HOUSES.

Lighter Ones Arc Now Considered Best
ON the Farm.
The wear and tear on horsef1esh
makes quite an item on the farm, and
anything that will reduce this frlc-
ton for farmers should be welcomed.
It has been proven beyond dispute
that the. average horse is shod with
too heavy. shotes, and II lighter. ones
were substituted the animal could do
more work with less WEAKNESS. Heavy
shoes have no particular advantage
except for large truck horses on stone
roads where shoes wear out quickly.
Even in such cases 1t is doubtful II too
heavy shoes prove Of any value. Ger
tainly for farm horses light shoes are
much more satisfactory. The effects
Of such q change are quite noticeable
shortly, after they are put on. and in a
years time the extra amount Of work
that is obtained from a horse will
more than pay for the shorter time
that light shoes may wear. The main
object. Of the shoe is to protect the
noof. and the lighter It can be made
and serve its purpose the better it is
for the horse. A good part Of the
year horses on the farm would be bet
ter on without shoes, and they can do
ploughing and similar work in soft
fields without In any way ~injuring the
feet. In winter, when the ground Is
frozen, 1t is quite different, and shoes
seem necessary7at these times. "A horse
weighing LOO pounds should geners
ally be shod with shoes Weighing not
more than twelve to fifteen ounces
each. If four ounces are added to
each shoe, the total difference In the
animals shoes Is sixteen ounces. "A

the alphabet and numerals as labori-

found that intelligence was not lack

The moral natuse Of SOM Of the
crippled children seemed to be per-
verted as strangely as their bodies.
Most Of them think that every one
hates them. They are keenly fearful
OF the ridicule to which they have
been subjected always, and resent the
opprobrium cast upon them by their
misfortune. One little chap, dwarfed
