Hanna and the 1Ickissonites.


II IS 70 be hoped that there is no
truth in the report which comes from
Cleveland that the Mckissonites. not
satisfied with their victory over Sen
ator Hanna in the county convention.

we are told that they are unwilling
that both Of the State Committeeman

that they demand a division. If this is
true il viii be deeply regretted by all
who sincerely believe that political

milton and reward.
1t does seem as if these pestiferous
McKissOnites might let up some time.
But they won't At all events they
don L They keep right on in the ne
farious work of fighting Hanna at
every turn. This is not fair. il IS in

view. and It Is entirely out of harmony
with the eternal fitness OF things
What right have they 10 oppose Hanna
in his home city, any way? Mr.. For

league be denied a similar privilege In

The NcKissOnites seem altogether in
capable Of understanding or acting in
accordance with the prOprieties Of pol
tics. They actually seem to think that
they have more rights in Cleveland
than Hanna himself has. This is
sheer presumption. True. they are
generally able 10 OUtvote him and his
friends. but that is merely the superb
Gritty Of numbers. They ought not 10
take advantage Of their strength in that
way. II is unjust 10 Mr. Hanna. and,
what is worse. il BODIES i'll for the Re

Of Cleveland think Of him is inmate

they are making trouble for him.

SOMETHING ABOUT BoILs.
Slight Injuries, High Living and
Close Shaving MAY Cause Them

Contrary to the common belief bOils
are not indicative of blood disease. They
are really indications of local poisoning
10y pus bearing germs, and the boil is an
abseess. Every pas prick every scratch,
every abrasion, every cut with razor or
,ocketknife, every splinter that enters
!Ee skin may cause boil Nor need the
wound be a serious one. 1t may be so
minute as to be invisible TO the unaided
eye. Nor is the result always produced,
for if it should be, every slight wound
tyery thorn prick every scratch of a cat,
every bite of dog, every abrasion of the
skin, would be followed by disastrous, il
not fatal consequences. The reason for
this immunity is that there is a certain in
herent power of the body to resist these
noXiouS agents, and it is only when the
powers of the body are weakened by dis
ease that the morbitYc agents can thrive
in the body and accomplish their evil
work
Ia this sense, then. boils are diseases
due TO diseases or the blood but it is not
disease III itself. High living also IA
yors bols DR. Reid. speaking Of pus
and incidentally Of boils, says: Job was
probably run down by long period Of
dcbauchcry. We read that the devil had
him in tow some time before his boils
broke out. If, now, he could have had
the counsel Of three good physicians in
stead Of as many tircsome theologians,
he would have had his system toned up;
his broken potsherd with which he
scrapcd himself withak' thus spreading
sympathy, and infection would have been
taken from him, and he would have been
taught few lessons in sanitary science
instead Of theology"
The reason why boil is always in the
worst place is because that is the most
exposed place. The back of the neck,
where the collar rubs the microbes into
the skin; the wrist, where the cuffs irri-
tate and make the entrance Of germs
more easy; the top Of the foot where the
she pinches; the razor swept chin, are
all favorite worst places. - American
Druggist and Pharmaceutical Record.

which is mostly true: Some years ago

(Bangaiore versus Madras when a hawk
suddenly swooped down on my ball and
carried it off in its claws. l appealed to
my adversary 10 allow me to drop anoth-
er ball, but he was one of our canny
brethren and replied, Eth, no, man; lost
ball, lost hole" This did not admit Of
argument. Some weeks afterward
went for walk before breakfast, and,
climbing a rocky eminence to see the
view, i came across a hawks nest and
by it a dead hawk and in the nest my
golf ball. Both the hawk and the ball
were quite warm. | sent the hawk to
the curator of the museum and asked
for a post mortem. His verdict was "a
broken heart" and on my telling him the
story he had no doubt that the poor bird
had expired in its vain effort to hatch
