On last Monday evening Miss Ruby
Drew entertained few Of her friends
with dancing party. The house was
made fragrant and beautiful with cut
flowers arranged in bouquets and
clusters in the different rooms and
with Miss Drew's charming hospitali-
ty the guests we're assured OF a pleas
ant evening. After two hours spent
in dancing delectable refreshments
were served in the form OF an ice and

Every fiber and every cell that enters
into the formation of n living body is
bathed In moisture. by which means
alone these ultimate elements are kept
alive and are enabled Ia carry out their
duties. Even the bones. which appear
to he the most solid of ali. owe more
than half their weight to the presence
of fluid.
That our bodies contain a large
amount Of fluid is proved in a striking
M" by the blisters which rise after
the infiiction OF Il burn.
Water, In fact, plays n very impor-
a II part In the human anatomy, for II
is through its agency that the vital
processes ',f digestion, absorption and
Ii eXcretion of waste products are
carried out.
TO reduce the whole matter to figures
and taking l54 pounds TO be the total
weight of an average full grown man,
II is said that water alone accounts for
100 pounds of the whole.

level of the forest bed of centuries Of
native traffic.
Like the roads of the old Romans,
these footpaths run straight on through
everything, ridge and mountain and
valley. never shying ut obstacles, nor
anywhere turning aside to breathe.
Yet within this general straightfor-
wardness are a singular ecccntricity
and an i~ndirectness OF detail. And
the reason is not far TO seek. If a stone

A whales appetite Is phenomenal.
His chief diet consists of jellytish. He
has simply to open his tut and pad
die along ~leisurely In order to take In
jellyfsh by the wagon load. Such is
the method adopted by the whalebone
whale. The sperm whale, on the con
trary. captures huge squids weighing
often several tons. Like his brother
the whalebone whale, he must be con-
stantly on the lookout for food; other
wise he would starve. AS many as
fourteen seals have e taken from a
thirty foot ':killer." Other fishes of
enormous appetites are not uncommon.
The bluefish, for example, thrives on
sardines and other small fish. Assum-
ing hat one bluefish eats ten small fish
a day, 1t has been figured hat it re-
quires 10000 0O. 900 sardines to feed
the 1000, 900 bluefish on our coasts
every summer. Most curious of all
eaters Is the HYDRA strange creature
that n be turned inside out without
impairing Its appetite or its power to

Carlyle on Novels.

A letter OF Carlyle's gives us the
opinion of novels entertained by him
1 n the year 1866. To a budding story
teller he wrote to suggest that she
should 'shove her own novel well
aside for n good while or forever and
be shy ever of reading novels. If she
do read, let ii be good and wise books,
which not one in 10000 of the kind now
called novels Is" And yet Carlyle
was himself guilty of at least begin
ming to write a novel.

row? You would not dare do it. 1t
is easy to say, and it sounds fair to
the uniformed and unthoughted, that
you stand for an import duty to pro-
tect American labor but it means
nothing unless you give some intelli-
gent idea about the articles to which
YOU think the duties ought to be ap-
piled, and how much it ought to be to
make it protective.
If, when you receive this, you will
write me the names of one-half dozen
articles on the free list or any tariff
schedule that are the product Of any Of
the great manufacturing interests and
in common use to which duty can be
applied SO that it will be protective
in any true sense of the word, as you
want the public to understand you to
use, 1t will give me an idea about your
view of the situation, and be a favor
to me.
Is it not true now that, inside the
oilCle of your membership and your
sGrport ers, there Is just such contest
going on between the manufacturing
interests and the financial interests as
| referred to in my article?
Is II not true that the manufactur-
ing interests are demanding stand
pat" policy be- ause it is enabling them
to sell their products at large profits?
1t is also too certain to admit of
dispute that the banks have been
greatly benefited by the deposit with
them Of government money. They
want such a revision of import du-
ties as will produce large surplus
revenue. 1t seems to me almost GER
tain that this contest drove Speaker
Reed and Speaker Henderson both out
OF public life. Whether this is true
or not. some political trimmers both
in ard out of congress, in the near
future, will find great difficulty in
keeping the favor of both sides.

blanket upon the Democrats of the city
Those Democrats who have been work
ing for the coalition plant to elect one
Regular Republican senator still had
some hope that if their men could be
get in line by Monday morning the
Regulars would accept their PROPOSE
tion and go into the election of one
Regular.
Representative Finn. who is acting
for the Regulars, when asked about the
status of the Democratic-Regula plan,
said the Democrats last Wednesday set
in motion the plan under which the
Regulars were to vote for the repeal
Of the voters assistant Law and the
Democrats were to vote fo- one Regu-
lar Republican for the United States
Senate. 1t was to be pglled off on
Thursday, and the Democrats could not
deliver the goods. Again o. Friday the
Democrats could not deliver the goods.
They made two efforts on Friday with
out getting together, and Finn under
stands that they are farther OF than
ever from agreeing with the Regulars
for the selection of one Regular.
AS the Democrats inspired and die
tated the line Of procedure and failed
tc cayTy It out themselves. Finn does
not see that The Regulars world be un-
der any obligation to accept tho Demo-
cratic assistance at this time should
the Democrats be able to deliver The
goods.
MIR. Finn says he has heard a report
that the Democrats now wish to give
the Regulars both senators, rather
than permit Regular-Union coalition
but in view of their failure to set TO
gether for one Republican he has llttl'
ihope that they would vote Tor TWO
Ven hope that they would vote for TWO

of Colonel DUPONT was carried to the
United States Senate, but Colonel Du-
Pont was not seated.
At the election of 1896 the Addicks |
men turned up at the Republican State |
Convention with a majority and the |
Anti-Addicks faction seeing that they |
were outnumbered and that Addicks |
was in command, bolted and held
lseparate convention of their own, each
faction sending delegates to the st.
Louis Republican convention. This con-
venuon recognized the Anti-Addicks
Republicans, and from such recognition
they obtained the name of Regulars.
Two Republican tickets were put in the
field with separate candidates for Gov
ernor and members of Congress, with
the result that the Democrats carried
the State and secured control of the
Legislature. Richard R. Kenney was
chosen United States Senator.
In the campaign of 1898 the two Re
publican factions got together after a
fashion and elected their State ticket
on the give and take plan. The Re
lpublicans secured control of the Legis-
lature, but the Addicks faction was
short of a majority. The new consti-
tuition had increased the membership
OF the Legislature and twenty-seven
men were necessary to an election. On
the final day Addicks, by the aid Of
three Democrats. Farlow, King and
Clark, swelled his vote to twenty-one,
still short of the necessary majority.
This session of the Legislature ended
in the midst Of great confusion, Demo-
Gratis having taken possession Of their
side of the chamber and threatened the
l. members with bodily harm SHOULD any
more Of the jump to MIR. Addicks.
This left Kenney as the only senator
! from the State. Addicks kept up his fight
and in 1900 the Union Republicans, as
e he had called his party since 1896, sent
delegation to the Philadelphia con-
a vention headed by himself. The con-
u vention wanted to divide the seats be-
g tween the rival factions, but the Du-
POnt men would not agree to this, anC
b the Addicks delegation was seated. TIL,
l. feeling between the two Republican or
S ganizations was very bitter and eacl
i nominated a separate State ticket, bu
d they finally got together on a compro
= mise and the entire Republican ticke
p; was chosen.
# When it came to the Legislature i
l. was seen that although Addicks hat
j. a majority of the Republicans who con
trolled that body, he did not have
] majority of the Legislature. Addiclu
l. secured twenty-five votes, five short o
" enough to elect Seven Regular Re
IS publicans held out against him, and
a Couble deadlock resulted
7. The election last year resulted in
r. similar condition, although Addicks en-
s. tered the fight this year with twenty
IS one men soil before him, and possibl,
Is twenty-three, four short of enough u
