Hence leaders, instead of interesting their followers in vital matters and direct ing that interest to ever widening planes of thought, are compelled to play upon the excitement and at times the passions of their constituency. This exploitation of the excitable feel ings is responsible for much back wardness, it hampers education, re- tards advance, and to a large extent prevents our taking leading part in the evolution of industry.

{ W RICH 6 POOR Esl
 KALIMl5 G7

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women, old and young, rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch- ing, protruding or bleeding. It IS also a safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment is a pleasant, harmless and abso- luteiy sure remedy for all itch ing diseases of the skin.

PHYSICIANS HAVE TROUBLES.

As a rule you can never take a wo- man at her word. A Louisville woman and her husband went east for recu- peration. It was their intention of in
 teryiewizg a leading physician be- fore they came back in order to get his opinion of the wife's health. Ac- cordingly husband and wife called by appointment upon the specialist. Now, doctor" said the woman, q want your honest opinion. I like can dor and don't wish to make the trip to be told any falsehoods about my self
 This sounded very open and coura- geous, so the expert went to work He looked at her well, asked ques- tions, made a minute examination of the case and finally inquired, sDid any doctor ever tell you you had SC and so2" "On1y one, the horrid brute was the reply. sI have been to ten or twelve and he was the only one who was so ignorant and rude as to tell me such thing. and I discharged him at once.n Discharged himr' ex- claimed the expert. 'sWhy, madam, he was the only one of the lot who told you the truth. Louisville Times.

A VISIT TO THE PEANUT KING.

In it's different homes the peanut is
 also known by the names of ground
 nut, earth-nut pindar,e goober and
 ground-pea. While Brazil is. gener-
 ally conceded to be it's native home.
 Africa ranks first in production, the
 United States coming third, and fur
 nlshlng one-Sixth of the worlds crop.
 To reach maturity the peanut can
 not be grown further north than

 light, sandy soil, such as is to be
 found Tn a few of the southern states,

 roots are covered with tiny tubercles
 ln which are multitudeS of infinitessi-
 maily small organisms that supply
 the plant with nitrogen. The seed is
 planted in early spring, in rows or hills, and is ready for harvesting
 about the first of October when the fields present their liveliest appear ance. After the tap root of the plant
 has been cut, by means of kind of wing attached to the blow, the viryes are taken out of the dirt by fork and put into small heaps, and thence into shocks to mature or cure. It is picturesque sight in tue fall to see the colored people, all sizes, gathering peanuts from the vines, the wee pick aninnies, scattered here and there dumped in the dirt, while their moth
 CTS fill the large bags for the fac tories.
 The largest peanut establishment in the world, owned by any one com- pany, is located at Smithfield, Va, little town nestling among the low hills of. the tidewater section, where the sound of a railroad engine has never been heard. When the head of this establishment, F. D. Gwaltney, who bears the distinction of being called sthe peanut king" returned to his farm, penniless, from the surrend- CT at Appomattox Court House, he laid aside his, ragged. .gray jacket. and | took up the culture of peanuts Helen Gray in Leslie's Weekly.

CURIOUS ROYAL OFFICIALS.

Many curious officials still apper- tain to the royal household, and many have been dispensed with of late years. Among the latter class must be placed the royal ratcatcher; the of- flee has become obsolete, but not un- fortunately for lack of rats, It was during the reigns of the Georges that this functionary bad his heyday, hence, perhaps the popular idea that the now very prevalent brown rat came over with the Hanoverians. Like other esteemed royal officials. the ratcatcher was distinguished by a particular dress; it was of a. scarlet hue, elaborately embroidered with yellow Worsted, and displayed figures of rats destroying wheat sheaves. The Gentleman's Magazine of 1741 contains an announcement that sAIr Cover had been selected for the office of ratkiller to his majesty, with a sal ary of 9100 year." and that it was 'an honorable Office''-which remark seems unnecessary. Is there a living descendant of Mir Gower to place bis claims before the court-London Chronicle.

 Santos-Dumont, the great aeronaut and inventor of a dirigible balloon, is an exemplar of the motto, If you want thing well done, do it yourself.' He is an indefatigable worker and attends personally to the most minute details 1 in the construction of his balloons. l There is wisdom as we'll as industry in this, for it is true that his life may | literally depend on a thread.
 l Mrs Collis F. Huntington has just l paid $31, ,00O duty on the gowns she brought from Europe. This is the rec ord in customs duties for one woman, and it was paid without a protest, the payment being in cash, as the rules 1 prohibit the use of checks or drafts. Just what effect this will have on the controversy between Secretary Shaw and the society ladies is not estimated. | A South Dakota man has just been l again awarded the contract for carry 1 ing the mail between De Smet and Howard. He has already been making the trips for eight years and has aggre- gated a total distance of S7,360 miles or nearly four times the distance around the globe.

 MT. Patrick Nolan, of No. Ic8 Railroad Avenue, Bridge port, Conn. says: "To any one troubled with any form of ir- ritation of the skin, I can with confidence recommend Doan's Ointment. I was for a long time bothered with persistent irritation on my body, andnone of the many preparations and ointrnents I used did me any good until I procured Doan's Ointment at a Drug Store and applied it. It was so soothing and healing, and acted so promptly that I felt relief from the first, ,and improved steadily. It is the best remedy for ir- ritation of the skin there is on the market" ;"
 Just such emphatic endorse ment can be had right here in Waterbury. Drop into Lakes drug store and ask what his customers report.

SAFE TRUSTS LOCK EXPERT.


 If there is any man in the world that could transform himself into an efficient burglar, it is the expert on combinations up in the office of the ''safe trust" This man knows more about locks and vaults than a1I the bank robbers in the country He can open safe ill Boston by telephone in five minutes, ordinarily. If q bank in Philadelphia loses it's combination, there is tumultuous ringing of phone bells in the trusts office, and the boy at the. switchboard shouts wildly for the expert
 Well, what is it?, the opener of vaults shouts into the mouthpiece, his tone showing that he is accus- toned to such calls. s"rhis is the
 bank. The presidents gone home, and the cashiers sick. I'm MT
 . Give me the figures, please" The opener satisfies himself that the right man is on the other end Then he looks up his records, if he does not happen to remember the figures want ed It is only matter of q few min utes before he is back at the phone, and in as many more minutes the vault in Philadelphia is opened.
 It happened the other day that a Boston trust company was in trouble about it's combination. The safe con- cern was called up, and the lock ex- pert was summoned to the receiver. The usual request followed, but by some chance the opener'a good mem ory had forsaken him, and he had no record of the particular lock i'll ques- ton The Boston officials swore loudly over the wire. It was no use, though, and finally they had to give it up.
 Not long after the wire had been va cated there was another ring, and the opener found himself again in conyer- sation with the same people, This time it was a. request that he come to Boston at once, hiring a spe- cial train, if necessary. T can't come, 7 he answered. There's too much to do here in office hours. I'll take the regular train Sunday"
 Argument was of no avail, and the Boston bankers had to wait. The combination was lost on Wednesday and for the next four days they had to borrow all the cash they needed from other companies. The inconyen- fences they endured by reason of inac- cessible papers may be imagined.
 This did not worry the expert. however, for he knew that nobody else could fill his place as well as he, and so there was no danger of his be ing discharged. He had been with the safe concern for a great many years, and his imperturbability was not to be upset by a trust company's temporary troubles. He left the of flee at the usual time every day. had his dinner at home. and slept just as easily during those four days as though there were no such things as bank safes. In speaking Of the oc- currence he said:
 'Why didn't I go? The idea. Do you know there are six or eight banks that lose their figures every day? It was better to leave one of them in lurch for four days tban to have them all in trouble for one day.

The senate passed the permaner

The senate passed the permanent census bill last Saturday and it is now in the hands of the president, who is delaying the affixing of his signature because he objects to the section which includes in the classified service some 1,200 clerks whose services will not be required when the permanent organiza- ton is effected. On Monday the sen ate passed the irrigation bill and has since devoted itself to the considera- ton of the ship subsidy bill. The only important bill considered by the house this week has been one which changes the rural free delivery routes from q salary to contract system. There has been considerable opposition to the bill developed on the floor of the house, its opponents claiming that it will be impossible to secure as efficient service by the contract system as from those who are paid q regular salary. in the house, it does not seem likely to receive much support ill the senate, provided it ever gets there. Senator Hansbrough said yesterday that. while lie had not investigated the mat ter, from his four years experience as a postmaster he was sure that it would be more difficult to secure satisfactory service from the contract system. It would be impossible for the depart l ment to retain its influence over the contract carriers to the same extent that it could over salaried employees,
 and he did not imagine that the bill would be fayorably received. A num- Der of western senators expressed prac- ticaIly the same views when asked
 their opinions, although they all pro
 tested that they were not prepared to
 express any definite opinion on the merits of the bill until it had been of ficially brought before the senates

Political opinions, if honestly form ed as the result of study and thought,
 would have an exceedingly beneficial effect, writes a man who has given some study to the political situation. Within certain limits these convic- tions would broaden the minds, give a wider outlook, and assist in the for nation of a truer estimate of the ac- tuaI conditions under which we live. h such a manner political opinions could be utilized and trained in pure ly educational spirit. Contrast this educational force as it might be, with political conduct as it is actually prac- tised. We have leaders, so-called, panderifg to the emotions and fatter
 ing the tender susceptibilities of the multitude Leaders in the true sense of the word they are not; they neither lead, educate, train, nor direct, and they obtain recognition by a suitable handling of the plastic material of their constituency. It must be re- gretfully confessed that political as also trades-union leaders do not in any way rise to tks height of their opportunities of directing opinion into legitimate channels of thought, and so training the workers to realize in themselves the best that their posi- tion can afford. At the same time, it must be admitted that so-called lead CT can hardly, by the very nature of things, lead or guide; in most cases necessity compeis him. if he wish to

He says the intervention of the United States ill the islands was the best thing that could have hap pened to the Filipinos, but that ~'it would have been better for our coun- try if We had not gone there.

WILHELMINA'S HUSBAND.

According to a private letter received in Minneapolis from Holland, reports Of Prince Henry's unpopularity are not entirely without foundation. The stories regarding strained domestic re lations with Queen Wilhelmina are credited to socialistic papers, which are not to be believed, but the fact that the prince consort is persona non grata to the Hollanders is not dis guised. The letter says:
 Prince Henry has not so far. sue ceeded in making himself popular in this country, neither If rumors are to De believed) in court circles nor among the lower classes. What have more than anything else made him objec- tlonable are his Nimrod inclinations The royal parks of the Leo one of the summer residences of our queen, are richly stocked with deer; but King William III. never hunted them-at least, not as long as can remember nor did anybody else during the years of the regency.
 The animals have, therefore. be come all but tame, and great was thz indignation (and openly was if ex- pressed in leading papers) when Prince Henry shot them for his amusement and continues to do so. I think if was this objectionable proceeding. and the fact that many papers continually made mention of the fact, which made him unpopular: for so far his name nas never, or hardly ever appeared in con. nection with anything else-say art, education or one of the many things in which he ought to have found a usaful sphere of work. It seems to me thai this is at the bottom of all inc Ioath. some slander about his relations to ward the queen. It was started by some socialistic papers, but no right thinking man or woman in the country believes word of it.''
