What Became of the sponges
New Orleans Times-Democrat.

New orleans 1lmeS-DemOcrat.
''I read a paragraph copied from a comic
paper the other day." said an out-of-town
medical man who was in attendance at the
recent convention, that gave a conversa-
ton between a surgeon, who had just OPP

rather contemptuously at several stages of
the proceedings After IL was all over and
we were getting ready 10 go the young op-
orator remarked casually that il was very
funny, but he thought he had thirteen
small sponges when he began and now
could find only twelve. OH it's lying
around somewhere said one of the party
and we started out. Three days later met
the old surgeon on the street and he told
me the man operated upon had died of
blood poisoning. After talking of other
things for a few moments he said sudden
": BY the way. do you remember that
sponge our friend couldn't find? Yes,

Some Chicago Philosophy.
r. M. Field. in Chicago Post.

X. Nj. Field, in Chicago Post.
Mr. Box tells the young women Of this
country that mo girl can afford to wed a
young man during the formative period of
his life which is between twenty and
twenty-five" Mr.. Box is wholly and unim-
peachably correct in this assumption. We
should even advance the age limit, and
should give many and potent reasons for
doing IL we did not reflect that in mat
ters of love reason occupies no place. The
only way we can keep boys and girls from
the awful indiscretion of early marriage Is
in blindfolding the boys or in locking up
the girls. Still, it is the duty of all elderly
persons who have had their fun and re-
pentance to give children the benefit of
their views, and essays on this topic are
always interesting and instructive. The
younger children marry the sooner they
will get over II and the better their oppor-
tunities for a happy and desirable second
choice. We do not advance this as an ar
gument in opposition TO Mr.. Box, but as
the presentation of a great vital truth.

Soda Water to Relieve Hunger.
Modern Medicine.

Soda water Is now prescribed a s a pallia-
tive for hunger, especially for the abnormal
hunger produced by disease. Carbonic acid
gas has the singular property of lessening
the sense of hunger. and may proftably be
remembered i'm dealing with cases of dia-
betes in which bulimia is a prominent
symptom. The seat of hunger is found in
the solar plexus. BY the use of water
charged with carbonic acid gas the
branches of the solar plexus distributed
through the mucous membrane OF the
stomach are Influenced in such way that
the abnormal irritation of the plexus which
is the foundation for the ravenous hunger
of indigestion may be greatly mitigated
II not wholly appeased- Water charged with
carbonic acid gas may likewise be en-
ployed with advantage in many cases OF
hyperpepsia in which there is a sensation
present in the stomach described by the
patient as a gnawing ''goneness," empti-
ness. etc.

making a mess. Yet a certain Frenchman
may not have been far wrong, after all,
in saying that "the English would surely
not frown so upon a mans hopping UP
sauce with a piece of bread If they them
selves had ever had any sauce worth mop
ping up" 1t may be that the Englishman' s
perfection of department at meals comes
in part from a lack of temptation to do
otherwise. But the truth is none the less
apparent, that the complicated conven-
tons regarding what to do, and what to
avoid, at table, that obtain in England, do
not in any way involve that outward ex-

WHERE ARE you GOING ?

NV Populist friend, what is left for
you from Populist standpoint?
Your party is "Reminiscences.
You must either become a Repub-
lican or a Democrat.
The issues upon which the great
Populist party sprung into existence
have either been solved or wiped out
by new conditions.
The brink of ruin has gone.
Wall street no longer terrifies the
farmer.
The great red dragon is forgotten.
1.-The Seven Financial Couspira
cies,'' The Way Out" Bread Win
ners and Bond Holders and Coins
Financial School," have gone to the
rubbish pile of all cheap, contempor-
aneous political literature.
Not an issue dear to Populism is
left.
Not a single condition that called
for the remedies of proposed Populist
legislation remains.
We have as much prosperity as you
ever prophesied would come under
Populist Government. We will not
insist that this came as the result of
Republican rule; we merely point out
the fact that it never came to us I'M
der any Democratic rule
The question of choice between Re
publican partisanship and Democrat
ic partisanship is before you.
Why should you not come back to
the Republican party?
Is there anything the matter with
the currency as it exists now?
We have more money per capita in
circulation today than the first Pop
ulist platform asked for, and it is the
most stable currency the nation ever
enjoyed.
We have high prices for farm prod
ucts, and plenty of work at good
wages for all labor.
No more Coxey armies no more
haunting fears about women selling
their virtue for bread" nor ''children
starving while their mothers slave. y
The Republican party offers you a
broad platform, into which has been
gathered the sunshine and hope OF
the human race.
! 1t was written for men who gather
the inspiration of their lives from the
affairs of their free homes.
| 1t was not written for a sullen and
discouraged people. 1t was written
! for a joyous people, who live in pros
porous homes where cOntentment and
happiness run with the rising and the
setting of the day.
1t was written for every farmer
who has paid his mortgage.
| 1t was written for every loyal citi-
zen who loves the flag of his own
country better than any flag he ever
| heard of.
1t was not written as protest
against any other party's work. The
whole field of human controversy was
not raked in order to find some things
to complain about. 1t is merely a
platform for Americans.
| Read it carefully.
! Compare it to the Kansas City plat
| form.
Contrast the history of Democratic
times with Republican times.
The party you join now, you will
remain with the rest of your days.
