THE PICK

OF the world is the American laborer,
who wants nothing more than a fair
wage for fair days work. His
only trouble is when he cannot work
every day and all day, and that is
the trouble he experiences when he
becomes rundown and debilitated.
He loses flesh. He loses strength.
He has also to lose time, because he
cannot work as he used to do.

Amid the highlands of Scotland many
good catholic priests of the mountains

their threats from the raw damp of tn"

goes off the line, but crowbars are car
ried, with which the train is persuaded
to return to its proper position. When

the train is brought to Il standstill. At

Regarding seasickness a traveller
says: "BefOrc sailing, it is just as well
for a man not to take too many fare

Water Is the Best Medicine.

Drink u glass of water when you get
out of bed in the morning. Never mind
the size of the glass. Let the water be
cold if you will. Some people prescribe
hot water, but that isn't necessary.
You may have washed your face al
ready and relished the experience. You
may have taken cold plunge into the
tub and delighted in the shock of it's re-
action. The brisk use of the tooth
brush has left your mouth clean and
the breath sweet. But you are dirty
still. Drink a glass of cold water and
enjoy the sensation of being clean in
side.
All that is luxurious in the cold bath
cleansing the outside, is artificial. That
which should prompt the glass of water
after sleeping is natural. AS test, tel
the year old protestant against his
morning scrub of cold water that he
may escape it by drinking half pint of
the fluid. He will jump at the oppor-
tunity.
Sleep has drawn upon the water in
the blood, and the instinct of the ami
NAL, under natural conditions, is to re-
plenish the circulatory system and dis
tend the blood vessels anew. The food
in the stomach which had so much to
do toward inducing sleep has disap-
peared, leaving a mucous substance in
the alimentary canals. Yet man would
wash his face and leave these half
clogged canals to the duties of another
day.
Drink a glass of cold water in the
name of cleanliness. 1t becomes one of
the shortest and easiest of toilet duties.
1t is swallowed in a second and in five
minutes it has passed from the stom-
ach, taking with it the clogging secre-
tions of the alimentary tracts. 1t has
left behind the stimulus that goes with
cold water. and, by filling the arterial
system to the normal, it puts spur to
the circulation that has grown sluggish
in the night. 1t is enc Of the greatest
of awakeners and one of natures own
stimulants.
Drink a glass of water before break
fast, another before luncheon, and
another before dinner. Water is the
best, cheapest, and pleasantest medi-
cine.-Chicago Tribune.

The Blame for the New York Disaster.

The more the complete details of that
awful disaster in New York harbor
and as the stories of the survivors and
eye witnesses get into print, the more
one is impressed with the truth that
terrible and inexcusable neglect played
a prominent part in that Wholesale
tragedy. To begin with, the steamer
itself was chartered by the church au-
thorities for the excursion because it
the newer and safer excursion boats,
and for the sake of saving a few dol
lars the boat, known to be old and in
firm, was engaged for the excursion
and upon this kind of economy hung
the fate of unknown hundreds of pas
seugers. No wonder the officials who
were in charge Of the excursion are
Frustrated by the terrible calamity
Apart from the loss of their relatives
and friends they realize that they were
in q large measure responsible for the
affair, and they might well be pros
trated. even though all the people lost
were utter strangers. 1t was simply
case where the church gambled and
lost. 1t was another instance of the
kind of economy that proves expensive.
Then on the boat itself there was ap-
al
for the safety of precious lives. 1t ap-
pears that the life preseryers were
dashed to ceiling and were extremely
difficult to loosen, and those that the
frightened passengers succeeded in
tearing from their fastenings proved
to be worse than useless. They were
so old that they were actually rotten
and totally unfit for use. 1t is said
that not single life was saved by
means of them. Fortunately many of
these alleged preservers have been re-
covered from the water and from the
wreck and are In the hands of the dis
trict attorney where they will play an
important part in the coming investigl-
ton.
And so this appalling catastrophe. in
which hundreds of helpless women and
children lost their lives, was not one
which no human power could forsee or
prevent, as are earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions. floods and many other forms
in which death comes on land and sea,
but was something resulting from a
false economy of the excursion man
ayers and from the negligence of the
steamship officials and the government
inspectors. The latter seem to nave
been criminally lax in allowing the con-
ditions which prevailed on that part of
the steamer where the fire started, as
we'll as in the use of the worthless life
preservers, and being ignorant of the
conditions Of the decks and rails

at the head of that organization and
led the party to victory again and again
through many hard fought campaigns,
and therefore our reunion would not be

The Cabinet Changes.

Several changes in the caDlnet are ia
prospect at the present time. Inc ap-
pointment of Attorney General Knox
to succeed the late Senator quay mas
resulted in the transfer of Secretary
Moody of the navy department to the
place made vacant by Mr.. Knox. Inis
makes it necessary to have ne" Hail
at the head of the navy department.
and for this position rumor his selected
Congressman Metcalf of California
but no official announcement OF such
an appointment has yet been made.
Then there are persistent rumors that
Secretary Cortelyou will retire in Or
der to become the Republican chair
man of the coming campaign, and that
mill make still another change in the
cabinet.
The retirement of Mr.. Knox leaves
but three of President Mckinley
cabinet in office, Secretaries HAY,
Hitchcock and Wilson. Yet the cabi-
net in every department is not one
whit less strong than it was under
President Mckinley. Every cabinet
official is a man who commands the
utmost respect of the country, ana in
each instance President Roosevelt has
made selections which has Won him
prompt and general commentator.
He has been fortunate in all his lead
ing appointments and in none more so
than in the members of his cabinet.
That Mr.. Knox will grace the Senate
need hardly be said. He will be recog-
niZcd as one of the strong men there
and a power for good in safe and con-
servatiye legislation. To the discharge
of his new duties Secretary Moody will
bring long experience, both in law and
in public affairs. He was a member
OF Congress and a district attorney for
years before he became secretary of
the navy, and before he entered public
life he had made a reputation as one of
the pest men Oh the MdSSdcHuSelIS DIR.
His record is clean in every particular.
and undoubtedly as attorney general
he will win new laurels. The Office of
attorney general has increased with
the growth of the nation, and to fill it
successfully man must not only
know law but also know something of
craftsmanship. and above all he must
know the American people. Many dis
tinguished men have filled that office,
for the Importance of the position
seems to have impressed our presi-
dents more than it has the people gen.
orally. and there is no reason to doubt
that Mr.. Moody will fail to show that
he is qualified to follow his most
famous predecessors. Congressman
Mctcalf. who has been mentioned as
the probable successor of sMr. Moody,
has represented the third district of
California since 1899. He was born in
New York in 1853 is a graduate of
Yale and has practised law in Califor-
mia since 1881.
