Parker SENTIMENT Grows.

nEMOCRATIC sentiment throughout
~ the United States seems to be
crystaIlizing rapidly in favor OF Judge
Alton b. Parker Of New York for the
presidential nomination. Many OF the
best known leaders OF the party have
openly declared for Judge Parker. A
large proportion Of the rank and file
VIII be with him from now on. If the
convention were to be held tomorrow
there is little doubt that Judge Parker
would be nominated on the first ballot
The declaration of ex-President
Cleveland for Judge Parker is not cal
culated 90 help the New Yorker in
some quarters. but it viii hardly alien
ate any considerable number. Colonel
Bryan has maintained a non-commit-
tai attitude when Judge Parker's name
has been mentioned TO him, but Colo
mel Henry watterson is almost UNI
eouivocaIly for him-and Colonel Wat
terson doesn't like Mr.. Cleveland any
more than Colonel Bryan likes him.
Judge Parker was born in Ulster
county. New York. in 1851. He is
neither too old nor too young to make
a good president. After receiving his
education he taught school for few
years. studied law and graduated from
the Albany Law school, beginning the
practice of law in 1872.
His first Office was that of surrogate
a judicial position, to which he was
elected i'm 1877, overcoming a large ad-
verse majority. Six years later he was
reelected. In 1855 President Cleveland
offered Judge Parker the first assist
ant postmaster generalship, but he de-
oIined il. preferring TO continue his
judicial career. IN the fall of that
year he was chairman Of the Demo-
cratic executive committee and won a
great victory i'm the state.
The next December Governor Hill
appointed him to fill a vacancy in the
supreme court, and in 1856 he was
elected to the same position without
opposition In 1892 Judge Parker be-
casue Il judge Of the general term, an
appellate division of the court. It was
in 1897 that he won his most important
victory. for he was elected chief judge
Of the court of appeals by a majority
of $4,000. though the year before New
York had given Mckinley a majority
OF nearly 250.00e.
McReady Sykes. writing i'm The Green
Bag. says Of Judge Parker that his
tendency is not only to hold private
litigants strictly to the letter of their
contracts, but is to refrain from rely
ing on general principles OF policy to
nullify legislative enactments. That
4. this tendency in both cases illustrates
the true path Of a judge is. it seems to
me. unquestionable."
In other words. Judge Parker is noted
FOR his tendency to obey and enforce
the laws rather than to make special
laws to govern special conditions and
20 interpret them according to his spe-.
cial whim. And that is more than can
be said Of the present occupant Of the
White House.

For the whisper Of the West,
Where the glow and glamour meeting

For the low place of my sleeping,
Where the wistful water FLASHES,

And the long sleep comes and finds me
In the tangled grasses finds me,

Value of Coat of Reindeer

A close examination of the hair OF
the reindeer shows that the hair does
not have a hollow inside space for it's
whole length, but is divided or parti-
toned off into exceedingly numerous
cells like water-tight compartments.
These are filed with condensed air
and their walls r SO elastic and at
the same time of such strong resist
ance that they are not broken up
either during the process of manufac.
ture Or by swelling when wet. The
cells expand in water, and thus 1t
happens that a man clad completely
in garments made of reindeer wool
does not sink when in water, because
he is buoyed up by means of the air
contained in the hundreds OF thou
sands of hair cells.

ows of the great trees toward the
watering trough, where they laved
their heated faces.
John Frost was the first to enter
the kitchen, tired, hungry and ex-
hausted from the excessive heat and
labor of the day.
How cool you look, Amy" he said.
II declare if it doesn't refresh me
Just to look at you"
81 am COOL" she replied, "consid-
ering."
Her voice was a trifle unnatural,
but not enough so to arouse her hus-
bands suspicion.
Amy" he said, encircling her girl
ish waist with his strong right arm,
i've been watching that curtain flut-
ter in and out of the window the
whole morning long. 1t seemed to
beckon to me at every turn of the
reaper, and | more than half believed
it vas you waving at me as you oc-
casionally used to do from the school
house window"
Poor Amy! She was not prepared
for these tender words from her hus-
band, and the remedy she was about
to administer seemed harsh in COM
parison, but it was too late to turn
back.
And then" he continued, without
waiting for her to reply, 81 imagined
| could see your bonny face at the
window, and the first love of my heart
sprang up afresh. Somehow, it made
the work seem easier, the sun not
quite so hot, and the seat on the old
reaper a little less hard"
A quick flush spread over Amy's
fair face; for an instant her intrepid
spirit threatened to give way, but
she uttered not a word.
John Frost's nature was sensitive
to repulse, and when his wife showed
no signs of responding to his demon
STATIONS of love, his arm slipped from
her waist and drawing himself up half
haughtily, said: Amy, is dinner
ready?"
"You may call the men," she replied,
coolly.
John stepped to the back kitchen
door and called to the men who were
lettering in the shade of the trees.
Come, boys; come right in. Din
ner is ready"
Through the airy kitchen they fled,
each one in his turn greeting Amy
with a smile or nod of recognition.
Amy took her place opposite her
husband at the table, which was a
model Of perfection. On either end
was a low, glass dish filled with sliced
cucumbers and ripe tomatoes, gar
nished with crisp, curling lettuce
leaves, a plate of homemade bread
and a dish of golden butter. The other
dishes were entirely hidden by close
covered %tureens, or fresh, clean nap.

kins. On a quaint old ~sideboard
within easy reach of Amy's right
hand, was a row of sickly looking pies,
their pallor almost hidden by a coat
ing of white sugar.
For a moment all heads were bowed
in silent prayer, with the master of
Maple Grove Farm then with par
donable pride in his face, he lifted
the napkin from a huge platter di-
rectly opposite HIM, exposing to view
the carefully prepared bodies of sew
eral spring chickens. Instantly the
truth flashed upon him. He raised his
eyes and met the unfinching gaze of
his wife: he turned livid with rage,
as, uncovering dish after dish he
found only daintily prepared but I'M
cooked vegetables. tAll eyes were
turned upon him. His throat work
ed c%onvulsively, and his jaws went to-
gether with the firmness Of steel. He
was making a desperate effort to
control himself in the midst Of his
h%umiliating position. At last his face
regained its color. and looking stead
lily into the eyes of his wife, asked:
Mrs. Frost, how long will it take
you to cook this dinner providing you
have the wood to cook it WITH"
Amy could hardly trust herself to
speak. She had watched her hus.
bands struggle with bated breath, not
knowing which would conquer, love or
hate. A crimson spot glowed in each
cheek, and with an effort she replied:
About an hour. | think, john"
John Frost rose from the table and
to his friends and neighbors in a per,
emptory manner said:
GO out under the trees, boys. Take
books, papers, anything you can lay
your hands on, while | cut some wood
with which my wife can cook this din
ner."
In less time than it takes to tell it
a fire was burning in the kitchen
stove, and before the hour was much
more than half up. John went to the
kitchen door the second time and
called out:
Come, boys; come right in. Din.
ner is all ready"
And it is safe to say, that a hun
grier, jollier set of men never before
sat down at a farmhouse table, than
did they, that day, al the table of
John Frost and his intrepid little wife.

The Strongest Soldiers.

From a recent English medical in
quiry into the physical status of the
various classes of military it was
found that the low-siZed, broad chest
ed artillery men were the strongest
and healthiest in the service. On the
other hand the tall men of the Guards
had the disease tendencies of the
overgrown and consumption and other
pulmonary troubles were noticeably
common. When narrow chested, the
men of the Guards and heavy cavalry
very Don broke down. Indeed, the
bulk of the medical evidence seemed
to show that the small, well-set men
the typical Atkinses-were the ideal
soldiers, though not so imposing or
martial-looking as the gigantic Guards.

EXPERIMENTS ON THE BRAIN
Electricity Is Not Dangerous When a
Mild Current is Used.

MILO current Us OSeu.
Experiments on the brain of a liv-
ing subject with electric currents have
been comparatively rare, as there has
prevailed among physicians and
psychologists the idea that such a
course of experimentation was ex.
tremely dangerous. There have re.
Gently been published, however, rec
ords of some experiments carried on
by Nj. S. Leduc, with the object of
using the electric current to produce
sleep and of studying its effects on
the brain generally. In early expert
ments it was shown that the brain IS
the best conductor of electricity in
the human body, being about 5000
times more conducting than muscle.
1t was also observed that when a con
tinuous current was passed through
the head from n ear to the other,
and the sensation of giddiness was
produced and that objects appeared to
revolve in the same directions as the
current flowed. However, when the

is used, and in some cases may be
beneficial. According to M. Leduc,
the most satisfactory current is one
, OF four millamperes at thirty volts,
which is broken or interrupted 100
times a second for nine-tenths of the
period Of interruption. The first eff,
feet noted was the disappearance of
the faculty Of speech, after which
followed the loss of the motor facul,

is no affection of the respiration or
pulse unless the current is increased,
and then it may cease. The patient

1t was a hot, sultry July morning.
The harvesting season on the farm OF
John FIcst was at it's height. Outside
the great, white farmhouse. all was
silent and serene. But inside, all was

Reluctantly Julia took a basket and
went out, knowing full we'll what 1t
meant to search for wood, for had she
not done so many times before, and
knew there was hardly a splinter left
on the adjacent fences?
Mrs. Frost wiped the beads of per-

tracted into an ugly frown. She
was angry and Inundated at the re.
peated necessity of searching for wood
