at the election in which Mr.. Goe-

20 per cent of the honest vote of
the State was thrown out and
nullified to permit the issuing of a
certificate to him. A similar state
of facts would prevail this year
but for the fact that Congress
can take hand in investigating
the returns. Goebelism means
that it matters not how the people
may vote, SO long as Goebelites
can do the counting. The Repub-
licans might carry every county
in the State but one, and then
the State Election Commissioners
could, with only that one coun-
ty, legally declare the Electoral

Goebelites would dare to do this
remains to be seen, as their ac-
tion would be subject to review

"He is dreamy idealist. He

he were President, by wave of
his magic wand, as 'twere, he
can make desert blossom; that
he can do away with want and

OF the mysterious power that can

"An insidious attempt is made
to create prejudice against the
advocates of a safe and sound
currency by the insinuation,

they belong to financial and bust

common people of the land, but
for selfish and wicked purposes
are willing to sacrifice the inter

people to reason together as mem
bers of great nation which can
promise them continuance of

as it's solvency is unsuspected, it's
honor unsullied and the sound
ness of it's money unquestioned.
"The discredit or depreciation
in the financial centers of any
form of money in the hands of
the people is & signal of immedi-
ate loss everywhere.
"If reckless discomfort and
wild experiment should sweer
our currency from its safe sup
port, the most defenseless Of all
who suffer in that time of distress

me if T could see how many cattle
there were grazing on it. 1t was only
with difficulty that 7 could SEQ any
cattle at all, but presently I capped
him by asking him if he could see the
man in charge of the cattle. Now, I
could not see any man, but knowing
that there must be some one in charge,
I boldly put forward this bluff. The
skihari looked hard at the infnitesi-
NAL moving specs which he knew to
be cattle, but the cowherd was be-
yond him, so he gave it up and con-
fessed himself defeated. .''-Collier's

They can be found in every inhabited
quarter of the world. The so called
dark races are frequently glorifed by
glowing locks. The Spaniards are
swarthy as o race, but the purest
blooded Castilians frequently show
traces of their Visigothic blood by
blue eyes and red hair. The Infanta
Eulalie, who visited this country in
1893, is red-headed. Red.haired
Italians are fairly numerous in Italy.
They are most numerous in the north
ern provinces, where there is the
greatest infusion of German blood.
In Ireland o haired girl is made
miserable, by being called "Dane. "
This epithet is legacy Of thousand
years or more, from the time when the
Danes actually did override the coasts
of Britain. In similar manner the
Norssmen who invaded Sicily centur-
les ago and inter-married with the in
habitants left descendants with gleam-
ing brain thatches.
The Turks are light-haired, blue
eyed race, and their children are
everywhere scattered about Asia aud

Milk Can BE Too Rich.

The Jersey Bulletin recently said
that the richer the milk is in fat the
better for eating in it's crude form, or
words to that effect. This statement
is fully as wide Of the mark as the one
concerning it's cheese-making value.
Every physician of note maintains that
normal milk properly balanced is far
better for food, especially for infants
-aHa, young, children, than is milk rich
in fat. Probably milk containing not
more than 3.4 per cent Of fat is fully
rich enough, since the h1aan mothers
milk seldom exceeds that fgufe, and
often falls below three per cent, aad
it is said that nursing infants off such
mothers are more healthy than those
who get richer milk. Good medical
authorities have stated time and tine
again that normal milk is much hesl3h-
ier for the human than is rich milk,
and there is not a careful, intelligent,
well-bred reader to-day who does not
know that three per cent. milk fresh
from the cow is much better for the
calf than is six per cent. or even four
per cent. milk. Indeed, it's quite
freely conceded that hundreds Of Jer-
sey calves owe their premature death
to q surfeit of rich new milk. Disor-
dered stomachs, 1 indigestion and
"scours" are the fesuNs when such
milk is red to calves. National Stock.
