THE PASSOVER AND EASTER.
The Variation Between the Jewish
and the Christian Festival.


Since the events of holy week and the
resurrection took place during the Jewish
passover, it seems strange that the cele-
bration in the synagogues and in Chris
tian churches should not always be at the
same time. The explanation is that the
Jewish calendar, which dates from the
creation of the world, is regulated by the
rabbis. Their system is based on the lu-
mar month, which is often nearly two
days shorter than the month of the
Christian calendar. Corrections are made,
but instead of day such as is in leap
year an entire month is added, so that
some Jewish years consist of Is months.
AS Easter always falls on the first Sun
day following the full moon next after
March 81, this additional month in GER
tain years causes variation between
the passover and the Christian festival

Through the Whirlpool.

Niagara Falls, N Y, July 9.-Bow-
ser successfully navigated the turbid
waters of Niagara's famous whirlpool
his afternoon, in his boat built for the
purpose. Starting from the Maid of
he Mist landing at A o'clock, he pass
ed down the center of the river until
within few hundred yards of the rap
ids. where he caught in one of the ia
nous eddys and swept to the Canadian
shore, which necesaitated his being
lowed again into the center of the rv-
er, where he was cast loose, this time
avoiding the eddys and passing under
the steel arch bridge into the rapids at
) o'clock, and took the rushing waters
cf the whirlpool capitally.
When half way through the boat
keeled over broadside but quickly
righted. The monstrous waves swept
over him time and again. completely
;ubmerging the boat and occupant, but
The beat would appear again right side
up and Bowser alive, grittily clinging
% the sides. In five minutes he had
shot through the rapids and had enter
I'd the whirlpool, wnere he was whirl-
ed round and roud for half an hour,
when three young men bravely swan
to his assistance and towed him into
shore on the Canadian side.
Bowser's real name is Peter Nissen,
and he is employed by Chicago bus
ness house as a bookkeeper. He claims

The world has ceased to think of it.
But the Democratic party is chained to
II anew against its better Judgment.
The false step of fonr years ago has
led to another that is worse, and which
from the standpoint of sober reason,
must be regarded as suicidal AS for
the rest Of the platform the convention
gave Ii little attention, and 1t is
worth little. The talk about imperial
ism Is cant None exists, except in the
Imagination of demagogues The
plank on trusts is inferior to that in
the Republican platform, and the lat
ter means something practical Humid
reds of thousands of Democrats voters

city convention. Bryan turned face
OF stone to their overtures, and they
will be as obdurate in November as he
is in July.-Globe Democrat.

AXE Care of the Eyes.

Don't think because you have good
eyes they will bear all kinds of abuse.
Don't use the eye continually at close
work, without occasionally resting
them by looking off into the distance.
Don't hold .the book nearer than is
necessary for clear sharp vision.
Don't make practice of reading
type too small to be seen readily at IS
inches.
Don't attempt to read in car or
other jolting vehicle. 1t is strain on
the directing muscles of the eye.
Don't read while lying down. 1t
causes an unusual strain on some of
the external or directing muscles.
Don't read when very sleepy, as the
accommodation and convergence are
naturally relaxed. and the extra ef-
fort necessary to force the unruly
members to work may be shown by
congestion of the blood vessels of the
eyeball.
Don't read facing the light.
Don't read in the twilight. or in bad
ly lighted rooms.--Health Journal.

Policeman Coffman's Case.

In regard to the charges preferred
against Ofiicer Coffman last night by
Councilman Storck, Mr.. Coffman
stated TO a Leader man that he con-
sidered that -he, Coffman, was not
guilty of a breach OF duty as charged.
He stated that he was in Dirrum's sa-
loon on the night OF May 10th, and
that on that day he was doing day
duty. He ordered beer and eggs as a
lunch and invited Mr.. Storck to par
take of the same. which the latter did.
This Mr.. Coffman claims was after II
O'Clock at night and he was on his
way home to bed.
As 10 the cause OF the bringing OF
the charges, Mr.. Coffman said it was
brought about because he, Coffman,
had taken Storck's name as witness

closing ordinance on May 9th.

Mckinley and Roosevelt.

Mckinley and roosevelt are directly
opposite by ancestry, birth, education
and practice. Mckinley comes from
Scotch-Irish stock which early settled
in Pennsylvania, tha. loved to fight the
Indians and figured so bravely in every
battle OF the revolution to free the col
onies from British rule. President
McKinley's grandfather lies buried in
an Ohio graveyard and his tombstone
tells the heroic story of his duty as a
Revolutionary soldier in 1858. Pres
ident Mckinley comes of a race and
stock that did not furnish a single
tory in the revolutionary struggle and
that races descendants have blazed
away ever since in the marvellous de-
velopment of Ohio and Pennsylvania

The True Road To a Happy
Life.

Happy is the man who forms, early
in life Tor If not early. then date) the
habit OF taking all the light and
warmth and cheer ne can get with a
fine glow of appreciation, looking.
meanwhile, somewhat sidewse at
those opposite experiences he cannot
escape. Let him squint little, or
look the other way. He will be a
happier man, as well as more popular,
than the self-appointed DEVILS advo-
cate who sedulously notes the muggi-
ness of the weather, the feebleness of
his pulse, or the fact that he is tired
(which, God help us, we all are-until
we get rested).
He will be happier man, moreover,
for two reasons ana by virtue of two
distinct forces that his act of attention
enlists in his behalf. In the first
place, by removing the constant irrita-
tlon to his mere body, his viscera and
nerves and muscles, that has resulted
from his morbid attention, he leaves a
clear stage for the benign action of the
tendency to health. A mans body is
not the normal object of his attention
Just as the normal focus of a sense
organ is an external object (of the eye
a sight; of the ear, a sound), so the
normal focus of the mind as a whole is
che breathing, colored world outside
itself. and particularly the absorbing
world of other people. The very in
sidiousness of sickness is that it tends
to seduce the mind from this whole
some outlook, and concentrate it upon
inner sensations. The process, once
begun, proceeds apace, and soon the
healthy activity of the body is still
iurther deranged by the meddling at
ention, precisely as clearness of exc
2ution on the piano, for example, is de-
ranged by particularized notice of fin

scious mind. The remedy II. in 10Th

The Old Fight Over Again

A beaten candidate and beaten is
sue are adopted by the Democratic
party for another trial. Again 16 to
Dis to be the battle cry, and an attempt
to debase the currency the issue urged
; upon the people. 1t is fact apparent
to all that a majority OF the delegates
in the Democratic convention were op-
posed to q distinct declaration for the
old ratio. But the grip upon the party
OF Bryan and of Populism is too pow
erful to be relaxed The convention
: dared not dispute anything that Bryan
demanded. II dared not break with
him. 1t put into the platform every
word that he wanted there and some
that he knew would lead to another
crushing condemnation by the people.
But with merciless indifference to the
separate organization Bryan bent it to
his will. He held over it his nomina-
tion by an other party and his purpose
to run in any event on a platform OF
his own choosing knowing its own
weakness, the Democratic party
shrank from an attempt to stand alone
on its merits. Conquered by Populistic
principles in 1896 it goes down before
them again, and its fall is far more
humitating than before.
II Is vain to pretend that there is
ANY issue in the platform OF the same
Significance as 16 to l. That plank
alone kept the convention in a state CT
high tension for two days and through
an all night session of the committee
on resolutions. Hundreds OF messages
went to Nebraska inploring the mas
ter OF the party to yield on this point.
mands 1.-THE immediate restoration CT
the free and unlimited coinage OF sill
yer and gold at the present legal ratio
of 16 TO 1 without waiting for the aid |
or consent OF any other nation" But |
for the prolonged agony over that |
plank the convention would have NOV
ed through its work without jar
There was no other point of contest.
Bryan was asked for no other conces-
sion. But he had the Democratic
party, or such remnant OF 1t as re-
mains, at his feet, and he exaeted from
II the utmost subordination 10 his own
political views and Populist Affiliations
In all human probability every state
that rejected free coinage four years
ago will do il again in November, and
there are states that supported 1t be-
fore that regard Il as lost and de-
beaten cause. All the argu
ments upon which 1t was urged four
years ago have been disproved. The
gold standard is an accomplished fact,
,ased upon splendid prosperity. In
very continent the drift has been
Rom silver as financial standard.
