Cleveland's second administration
was DISASTROUS to the prosperity Of the
country; nevertheless, history will give
much credit to Cleveland because
his obstinate defense Of the gold
standard against the ssaults Of his
own party in congress- and because Of
his Venezuelan message.
But while Cleveland was doing his
best to preserve the gold standard
Parker was voting for free silver. And
when Cleveland wrote his Venezuela
message dill he have the moral sup
port OF the candidate who in his recent
speech OF acceptance condemned as
extravagnnt and un1ustiiIed the Re-
publican policy Of getting the nation
in readiness for war?
He'd It not been for this very policy
as pursued by preceding Republican
administrations, President CIeyelands
famous Venezuela message would have

RENEWING THE BODY.
Tho Way Man Is Constantly Being
Made Over and Over.


Made Over and Over.
It takes but four weeks to completely
renew the human epidermis. You have
new eyelashes every FIVE months, you
shed your finger nails In about the
same period. and the nails Of your toes
are entirely renewed annually. The
white of the eye, known as the cornea,
Is in a continual state of renewal, be-
ing kept clear and clean by the soft
friction of the eyelids. These are few
manifestations Of the restc 'ative pow
ers retained by man, who is less fortu-
nate than the lower animals.
Grabs can grow fresh limbs; the snail
can renew even a large portion Of its
head: with eyes and feelers lizards do
not worry about the loss of tail, and
If you make a cut in the caudal ap-
pendage of some of these last men
toned creatures they will grow another
tail straightway and rejoice in the pos
session Of two.
But man still possesses the wonderful
restorative little cells which scientific
men call leucocytes. They are always
coursing through the body TO renew
and TO defend the body from its enc
mics, the harmful bacteria of various
maladies. These cells generate anti
toxins to kill our enemies. They do
tmttle for US in hundreds of ways, and
VT the majority of US know nothing OF
these great services rendered BY our
tiny friends inside.

A GROWING TREE.
Two Things That Nature Invariably
Does to Protect e.


Does to Protect u.
Nature invariably does two things
when she tries to grow a tree-she
protects the bark from hottest sun
shine and the roots from severe
changes Of temperature. Both these
points are almost invariably overlook
ed by man. Observe maple or elm
or birch as 1t shoots from the ground
Its sides are clothed all the way with
small twigs unless removed by knife
or browsing. Any tree starting in an
open lot is thus protected from the
sun. Otherwise the extreme heat will
rupture cells, and the bark viii dry
and split. AS far as possible there
must be equal development of cells on
oil sides Of the tree. But care Of the
roots Is even more important.
The feeding Of tree is at unequal
depths, but most of 1t is near the sur
face. If the sun be allowed to strike
directly on the soil the finer rootlets
that do the foraging are destroyed.
and extreme droughts will affect the
roots for a foot In depth. What is
worse, the extreme changes of tenn
perature also affect the tree and suck
its life away. In some cases such
conditions are produced as encourage
the development of fungi or other enc
mics to plant life. Nature guards
against this by laying down each au-
tumn q layer of leaves to mulch her
forests or solitary pets.

For professional woman Mrs. Funk
has some extraordinary opinions about
women in the professions. She does
not believe in it, She is herself law

she deplores the fact that womensever
