The No.sreakfast Fad.

From American Medicine.
 The no-breakfast fad Illustrates the fatal and foolish tendency of humanity to go from one extreme to another. If we have overeaten or overdrunken let us not eat or drink at all If we have been hogs let Us be angels. People with ont sense of moderation and avoid ance of extremism who have gorged themselves with animal food feel that they must be vegetarians. No breakfast IS their latest reaction. To the do-noth- ings and the rs-about-themselVes this nonsense may do no harm, but for people who work with muscle or brain ihe fadism can do nothing but Injury. Ii will perhaps end in coffeeism and drhgism, or some other pernicious evi- dence of lack of balance and control. Many Europeans make merry of wax disgusted over "the American break- fast" but they are easily caught up by the observation that they eat late at night, so that in the morning the stom- ach or lntestines are still filled with un- dlgested and unassimilated food. More over they do not fail to pour into the stomach lot of coffee at breakfast time. and they will also take late breakfast at one of their five or six mealc a day. The stomach should be empty on going to bed and if so the nor nal system demands a breakfast of good food soon after rising. Harm may result from the mo- breakfast folly if people do not properly regulate their general diet ary and personal habits.

Just Used Ills Finger Nall.

From ondon Tit-Bts.
 An extraordinary account is given of how safe was opened by robber. who had at his disposal no instrument of any kind, but operated merely with his fin- ger nail. The person who accomplished the feat revealed his intention of rob ping the iron safe in a hotel to another young man. who happened to be the cousin of the hotel prietor-a fact he was unacquainted with
 As a matter of course the proposed scheme to rob was revealed to the owner of the hotel. and a little after midnight. when 1t was to be put into execution. a couple of detectives were admitted to the premises and concealed behind the office counter.
 A short time afterward the robber en- tered the office gently, without either tools or explosives wherewth to open the massive iron receptacle, the combin- ation of which it was evident he did not know He had however, resorsed to an ingenious plan of his own.
 He had paired the nall of his index finger on the right hand until the blood vessels were exposed. Then by placing the sensitive wound on the combination lock. he could distinguish the move ments of the tumblers as they fell. For more than an hour did he work, and at last there came sharp click and he swung back the doors of the safe.
 He was in the act of filling his pockets with the valuable papers it contained when a damper was thrown upon his ae- tivity by the sudden grasp of the detec- tives under whose escort he was taken to prison. Thus was interrupted what was probably one of the most ingenious robberies ever recorded in the annals of crime.

Closer Fellowship.

From the Boston Transcript.
 One of the peasantest pulpit inter- changes of Sunday was that between Rev. pr. James De Normandie, of the old John Eliot Church. at Roxbury, and the pastor of the Baker Memorial Church, at Up- hams Corner-a Unitarian and a Method fst. by fraternal agreement, ministering each to the others flock, and on so sig nifcant an anniversary as the Wesley bicentennial at that. We do not doubt that both congregations were benefited, and it was an excellent sign in many ways. It was not the condescension of charity in either case, but an evidence of strong. tolerant and enlightened Christian fellowship. Several years ago. Rev. Dr. Herriok, of Mount Vernon Church made this announcement to his church: Next Sunday Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale will preach from this pulpit and I from his. l shall try to do his people no harm and I know he will do my people good That was doubtless the wholesome spirit that put Methodist in a Unitarian pull pit and vice versa on the 20Oth anniver- sary of Wesley's birth.

South Af-lca's Dryness.

From the Johannesburg (S. Al Star.
 The excessive dryness of South Africa Is due to the fact that rain dries up too quickly. runs off too fast and soaks in too little. This excessive evaporation can be checked by a most important agent. viz, afforestation.
 Geologically speaking, South Africa IS one of the oldest lands in the world. While England France, for example, were under the sea. during cretaceous times, receiving their excellent water bearing formations. South Africa was dry land, and has been dry lane ever since While South Africa is politically speaking one of the most recent of eour- tries. 1t is. from the physical geogra- pher's point of view, hoary with age. Sir Roderick Murehson. long ago. came to the conclusion that South Africa has re- tained its terrestrial character ever since the remote secondary period of geology the age of the Dicynodon. This state ment, which Is accepted by most geolo- gists. probably furnishes the key to the riddle of South African climatology.
 There is one method by which man can interfere to increase the porousness of the superficial strata. and that is through the intermediary of our old friend the forest. The soil or humus of forests has a wonderful water-absorb- ing power. It holds ten times more wa- ter than an equal bulk of sandy soil. The roots of the trees also penetrate and render pourous impervious strata like clay. and produces Assures in massive rocks whereby they are rendered pene- trable by water. From this point of view forests are natures, savings banks; they shelp the earth to store up water and to keep it for a rainy day, which means (excuse the paradox) season of drought.

Lessons for Workinqmen.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 American workmen should take to Eeart the lesson to be derived from the report of the commission of British Workingmen' who visited this country some months ago to investigate industri- al conditions. The delegates differ wide " on many points. but they are unani- nous in two conclusions. namely. that the British workman has nothing to learn from the American workman while British employers are not as far advanced as the Americans in the treat ment of their employees. MT. Alfred Moseley, who brought the delegates here says that the American workman has q far better education. lis infinitely bet ter paid, housed. fed and clothed. and moreover, is much more sober than the British" While all this has been known and realized before by competent ob servers. It is good to have such testi- mony from such a source. It ought to lead American workingmen to adopt a kindler and more conciliatory attitude toward their employers than many of them have done. The American employ CT is in closer. more sympathetic touch with his worxmen for the simple reason that he is generally man who has risen fsom the ranks of workingmen himself.

ITEMS FOR THE CURIOUS.
The London Gazette.

From the Westminster Gazette.
 The London Gazette is the oldest and least read of any newspaper. It is at once the biggest and the least of all our papers, for 1t is the orly paper in the land which changes. its s'ze from one page to a hundred. according to the pressure of news. It is the only newspa- per whose word is law and whose an- tr, Iity is accepted in the witness box. 1t can make and unmake 3aakrupts It is the only paper in which certain per sons are compelled to advertise, and in wlich certain other persons can not ad- gertis,. for love or money. It yields 8 profit of 920.0o0 a year.
 The London Gazette has become regu- larized as q part of the British constitu- tion now. but time was when the editor- ship of the Gazette was one of the spells of office, worth es00 a year. It was the recognized reward of party services in the press. The government is more eco- nomlcal today in it's journalism. Under the old regime the Gazette had, besides it's editor, a staff of five clerks, appoint ed by the treasury; but in lSS9 the treas ury remodeled the management of the paper, found the stan employment else where and left she whole responsibility of the Gazette on it's presen, publishers. Messrs. Harrison X Sons, of St. Martins lane. The printing of the paper has been in the Harrison family for 131 years.
 Absolute secresy as to the contents of any forthcoming Gazette prevails at St. Martins lane, and, though there are a thousand workers in Messrs. Harrison's s offices, no item of news has ever leaked out before it's time. Every sheet of copy is private and confidential until it appears for all the world to see. The copy for the Gazette Is written in the government offices often by the cabinet ministers themselves, and is invariably returned with the proofs. Each secre- tary initials his copy-Lord Salisbury signing his with the letter ''S.' in red inS--and in cases of promotion in the services no paragraph is accepted even in proof without being initialed a second time. Now and then-on very rare oc- casions-a piece of copy is received autographed by the sovereign.

Politics of Honduras.
From the Mexican Herald.

From the Mexican Herald.
 Francisco de P. Alvares, referring to the political events in Honduras, sums them up in the following form. stating. however. that he did not serve the gov ernment of Honduras, but the govern ment of Salvador:
 General Bonilla, having been elected by the people of Honduras at the polls. proclaimed himself president of the re- public at the port of Amapala.
 General Sierra, who had turned over the presidency to the cabinet. placed him. self at the head of the army and march, ed against Bonilla. Some battles took place the most important being that of Aceituno, in which Bonilia was victor ious.
 "The legitimate forces consisting of the partsans of Bonilla. and commanded by Generals Mondragon. Davilla. Bulnes and others, won. an uninterrupted series of victories and entered Tegucigalpa, where they captured Arias who had been proclaimed president by the Sierra party.
 General Sierra crossed the border into Salvador. accompanied by a very few persons among them being General Mo Gill a former officer of the Chilean army.
 'In Salvador Sierra was received in a purely private and personal capacity. but was not antagonzed or moested in any way, as the government of Salvador desired to maintain itself neutral in a conflict which was purely local to Hon duras.
 After remaining three days in San Salvador, General Sierra and his com panions sailed from the port of Acajutia for Nicaragua.
 General Bonilla having taken posses sion of the post for which he was elect ed by the will of his fellow-citizens, has inaugurated an era of peace and good will for his country"

THE BOODlER VS.. HONESTY
CRY,

Despite this splendid record there
are those who now declare that the
sole issue in the coming campaign
is to be DOODLE VS.. HONESTLY"
and by implication. so broad as tc
amount to a direct charge, that the
Democratic party is responsible for
official corruption and is therefore
not to be further trusted.
Let us candidly examine this
claim II 1t be well founded, then
Of course. Notwithstanding its glor.
ious past, the old Democratic party
should be cast out. II, however. the
charge be not true. then the SANDER
must react upon those who gave II
birth.
Fairly and impartially, then, let us
look at the facts. There appears to
have been two places in which hood.
ling occurred, and each place had il
own particular scoundrels. First there
was wholesale corruption which
grew up under the Republican.Zieg.
enhein administration at st. LOU
Second, there was the corruption
which existed among some members
of the State Senate at jefferson City
The places are not only widely sep.
arate, but the actors from first to
last are distinctly different, except in
the single instance shall state. II
is manifest, therefore, that intelligent
discussion requires that the corrup.
ton at st. Louis must be considered
as separate proposition.

ruption versus Honesty" Is this q
correct statement? Before there can
be a political issue. there must DO
two sides to a controversy. Each
side must have its adherents and each
must have sufficient strength so that
a battle is necessary to determine
which is the stronger. If all OF the
people are of one mind. there can be
no issue. If practically all Of the
people are on the same side political
issue can hardly be said to exist.
There cannot be much of an issue
between a gnat on a railway track
and an eighty ton locomotive. To al
firm that there Is a necessity for
making a political issue on DOODLE
ism in Missouri Is to say that con-
siderable portion Of the people are In
favor Of corruption, and that battle
must be fought to determine whether
the honest men are In the majority.
| declare that this is not the case.
Boodling only existed because 1t was
undiscovered. 1t is secret crime.
| I quote from an eminent authority:
"No one knows OF the transaction ex'
eept those implicated in It." When,
however, the disclosures came, they
aroused the indignation of all classes,
and all parties Republicans, Dem
ocrats, Populists, men of all condi-
tions and opinions expressed the ut
most adherence and contempt The
universal demand from every quarter
of the State was and is that no guilty
man shall escape.
