The Conditions Different.

This is from the New York Globe, a
Republican newspaper of unquestioned
party loyalty:
"Narrow and short-sighted Republican
partisans will doubtless seek to make it
appear that Judge Parker's telegram and
the answer of the St. Louis convention
thereto alter nothing-that the platform
which on Saturday the country regarded
with such deep disgust still stands as
originally written. But effort along this
line is certain to be futile, and the more
persisted in the more it is calculated to in
Jure rather than to promote President
Roosevelt's chances of reelection.
The political situation is such that dis
righteousness is not likely to pay, and 4
IS disingenuouS to withhold from Judge
Parker full credit for his manly act and to
argue that his platform has not in fact
been amended. Those who praise Presi-
dent Roosevelt for his courage are ini no
position to belittle courage shown by an
other, and country which has long de-
sired that the gold standard should cease
to be football of agitation is disposed to
accept at its face value evidence that it is
no longer menaced."
And again:
''Judge Parker has done a service not
only to his party, but to the nation. The
incident shows that honesty in politics
still pays; that directness is superior to
craft; that adherence to principle is better
than tricking subterfuge and shutting
compromise. BY single act revealing
that kind of courage which in a crisis is
the truest political wisdom, Judge Parker
dispersed the mists of indefniteness which
have surrounded him and removed 1.-The
imputation to his repute."
The difference between an editorial ex-
preston of this character and those which
have appeared on the same subject in Re-
publican newspapers nearer home is due
to the fact that the one is meant to ap-
peal to the intelligent, while the others are
designed to increase the ignorance and in
flame the prejudice of the negro and the
Federal office holder, on which two classes
the Republican party in Kentucky relies
for its support.

A Fast Ball Game.

The Cincinnati Grays defeated the Paris
boys in very fast game of ball at Bacon's $

their best players. ,Swearingen and Spears,

800 people present to witness the game,
which was the best played here this season.
Many brilliant plays were made and a
number of close decisions. The pitching
of Cooper, of the Paris team, was especiss
ally worthy Of note, he having struck out
seventeen men. The Cincinnati team is
strong and deserves credit for winning
out, after Cooper pitching such a magnif-

A NEW KIND OF COTTON,
Fiber Is Made from the Cellulose Of
Re- Fir Trees Freed from the
Bark and Knots. = g -

The French chamber of commerce at
Milan says that an artificial cotton is
now made from the cellulose of the fir
tree freed from bark and knots, reports
Consul Haynes, of Rouen, France. The
tibers, after being pulverized by spe-
cial machine, are placed in a horizontal,
brass, lead-lined cylinder of some $500
cubic feet capacity and steamed for ten
hours, after which 1000 cubic feet of
bfsulphate of soda wash is added and the
whole is heated for SO hours under a
pressure of three atmospheres. Then
the wood, or fiber, which has become
very white, is washed and ground by
series of strong metallic meshes, after
which it is again washed and given an
electro-chemical bleaching by means of
chloride of lime. Passage between two
powerful rollers then dries the mat
ter, producing pure cenulose, which
when reheated in tight metal boiler
containing mixture of chloride of>zinc
and hydrochloric and nitric acids, to-
which is added little castor oil, casein
and gelatin to give resistance to the
fiber, gives a very consistent paste.
Threads are then produced by passing
this paste through a kind of drawplate.
These threads, after being passed over
a gummed cloth, are immersed in weak
solution of carbonate of soda and passed
between two slowly turning drying
cylinders. Finally, to give the neces-
sary solidity, the thread is treated to
an ammoniacal bath and rinsed in cold
water, after which the product is pliable
and works we'll. =
In Bavaria experiments have recently
been made to produce cotton from pine
wood, and 1T is claimed that the trials
have been very successful.

Where Bullets Must Stop

A series of interesting firing trials
was recently undertaken by the Swed-
ish government. The purpose of these
experiments was to examine the effect
of shooting against pasteboard. The
trials were conducted on the wharves
of the Swedish navy in Karlskrons, and
The target used was prepared one Of
mill-board, against which fire from re-
volvers, rifles, carbines- and machine
guns was directed. The pasteboard.
which was three inches thick, resisted
completely the bullets fired from the
email arms but was perforated by the
projectiles from the machine guns. The
experiments may be said to have given
very interesting results. Bullets from
the carbines used are able to penetrate
wooden p!anks. five inches in thickness,
but they could not penetrate the paste
board, which was only three inches
thick --c.-.. 49, =.

ABOUT FOOD FOR BABIES.
Simpler the Meals, Fewer Sweets and
Nicnacs the Better for
Children.

Too much food and too little nour-
ishment is doing a great deal of harm
to many little ones. For infants who
must be "bottled,'' milk diluted with
barley-water, a grain Of salt and a
pinch Of sugar added, given lukewarm
from an absolutely clean bottle and
nipple every two hours (never often
cry, is, I consider, a perfect food, and
fat, jolly baby will result But COM
mon sense must be used, says a
writer in Woman's Home Companion.
A mother can soon tell whether her
baby cries from hunger or from over
feeding. Don't ask anyone; judge fer
yourself
For children the simpler the meals,
the fewer sweets, candies and unueces-
saries, the better. Fer breakfast in
the summer give them bread and but
ter, milk, sliced tomatoes or any fresh
fruit but oranges, which would not
agree with milk. Pineapple is indiges-
tible, though the juice is good.
In winter give porridge, and be sure
it is we'll boiled and that too much
sugar is not added. The porridge may
be- made. from oatmeal, relied wheat,
cracked wheat, hominy, corn-meal,
bread and milk or sliced bananas (no
purgative medicine is ever needed if
fruit be given in mornings when nee
essarv). On Sunday an egg, poached
or boiled.
For dinner give any meat but pork,
soup or fish, all vegetables Except
corn, a plain pudding, no pie or
boiled paste.
Fer tea give bread and butter, milk
or cocoa. occasionally preserve, maple
syrup, rhubarb or honey.
The more moderation is exercised in
eating, the better. The food should be
plain, good and appetizing, and the
children should be given all they want.
If children's appetites are not sDoi1ed
by sweets they will enjoy everything
put before them.

open the rectory for the accommoda-

this instance consisted of three rather
elderly clergymen, a gentle lot, with
kind, mild eyes and deep, melodious
voices, but fully able to hold their
own when anecdotes were flying back
and forth at the banquet.

keys of the piano. Behind him stood

NO. MORE LIGHTNING RODS
They Are Out Of Popular Favor, Al
t&ough Still Credited with
Some Slight Value.

Lightning rods have fallen into deep
disfavcr almost everywhere nowadays,
but they are valued least by the hasty
people who once valued them most, and
those who really know the most about
them still credit them with a measure
able, though small, amount of protective
power-if properly constructed and

For those who consider even a slight
diminution of the danger of lightning
worth securing at some expense in
money and good deal of care, the
weather bureau offers information and
advice prepared for it. by Prof. w. s.
Franklin, of Lehigh university.
The first desideratum is what the cleo
tricians call good ground''-that is,
close and permanent connection with
large mass. of high electrical conduct
ity, like damp soil or an extensive sys-
TEN of metallic pipes. Thelightning rod
itself should be wide band, thin
walled tube or wire cable, rather than
solid wire, for so is the conductivity
Of a given amount OF metal largely in-
creased. And of extreme Importance il
it that the course Of the rod to the ground
should be as short and straight as pos:
sible. If the pathway provided for the
1'bolt" be devious the impatient mes
senger from-or to-the clouds will not
follow it, no matter how much is spent
for glass or other insulators, while the
path be straight the insulators areneed-
less for any charge the rod can carry. B
What happens when good lightning
