DOWNS IOWA IDEA"
Gov. Cummins Loses In His
Fight for Tariff Revision.
Special to The Globe.

Speclal 10 Inc GLOBE.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, May S.-The Re-
publican state convention to name dele
gates to the national convention will be
held at st. Louis May Is.
Most of the county conventions have
now been held and it is known that the
convention will be the funeral of the IA
nous Iowa, idea" of the tariff question.
The opposition to Gov. CumminS and his
tariff revision views claims it will count
over 1000 of the 1s302 votes in the con
vention. The Cummins people concede that
tWo-thtrds of the delegates will be opposed
to him.
Gov. Cummins, however, will be elected
as one of the delegates at large The
other three will be Senators Allison and
Dolliver and j. w. Blythe, general counsel
of the Burlington railroad system, whose
home is at Burlington. Mr.. Blythe is the
real head of the Republican organiza-
ton in the state.
Gov. Cummins will be in a decided mi
nority On the delegation, but he is still
demanding to be made Iowa S member
OF the resolutions committee. He is will
ing not to be eXtravagant in his tariff
demands, but does not want the tariff
handled and the admission made in the
platform that changes may be made in
tariff laws, and that some are now needed.
In order to prevent a further outbreak of
the fractional fight in the state it is under
stood that the Blythe influence has de-
cided to name Senator Allison on reso-
lutions. He is a standpatter but not so
objectionable to the CumminS people as
some others would be.

People May Go Without Food for Days,

Fasters have gone without food for

DO you know why? It's because I

My brother has been In the habit Of
drinking coffee three times a day. He
has been troubled with sour stomach
and often would notice him getting
soda from the can to relieve the dis
tress in his stomach; lately hardly a
day passed without a dose of soda for
relief.
About two weeks ago he asked me
for cup of Postum; said he liked it

Says It's Unwise School Policy.
''The school Situation will Illustrate the
doctrine that L have laid down. We are
building additions to our housing capacity
by the pressure of particular need out Of
the money that can be spared each year
for the purpose. 1t is the. most expensive
and unsatisfactory way to do the business.
What we need is a comprehensive view Of
the situation, an intelligent estimate of
conditions and an adequate meeting Of our
responsibilities. 1t is far better to have
plan and spread the tax levy over ten or
fifteen years for payment.
What is the situation? Hundreds of
ouEehildren are denied proper school IA
cfIities. Were it not for the parochial
schools the conditions would be intoler-
able. The labor department is busy
keeping the children out of work and
meantime hundreds of children are out Of
any school, and in spite of our compul-
sorry law no effort Is being made to put
them fnzschool,~- There is nosroom for
them. We are rearing a mob of truant
boys, who after a while will fill our re-
form schools and our jails. 1t Is not
economy and 1t is not good morals. The
plea is urged that we -cannotz afford to do
better. We cannot afford to do so badly.
What would be thought of railway Sys-
tenn that only added to it's mileage the
amount that could be saved from yearly
income? 1t Is even more suicidal in mu-
nlc1pal. finance. The same lesson can be
learned by an examination of other de-
partments OF the city government. But let
US have as rigid economy and as great
emc1ency IN city affairs as in a good pri-
vate business.
There is no ground for disbursement.
ST. Paul has glorious past. Nature has
crowned her with beauty and the for
tunes OF trade have given her opulence.
Ioday there is no better place for a
nome from ocean to ocean. But there re-
main problems to be solved. Let us have
courage to attack them. Upon the wis
dom, the conscience and the courage that
is put into public affairs win depend the
supremacy of our city. Let these prevail.

be she woman or robin.

An interesting relic of Liszt has been recovered in Paris. At the age of 13 he composed Don Sanche," the li- bretto of which was written by Theau- lon, who, in the course of his career, was the author of 250 pieces for the stage, and by De Rance, who is not known to have made any other effort in dramatic literature. After four per formances "Don Sanche" retired into the obscurity which befalls the major ity of literary and musical efforts. The MS. was believed to have been destroyed in the fire at the Rue Lepelletier, but NJ. Jean Chantavoine has found the score in the Bibliotheque de POpera. It fills two volumes and contains in all S37 pages. Apparently "Don Sanche" is not very original production. The music even of Liszt even at the age of 13 could hardly be more than an echo. Nor does the li- bretto exhibit any great amount of novelty, for the theme is taken from a tale by Florian, who calls it Portu- guese.

Artificial Camphor.

There is now in operation, on a con- mercial scale, at Port Chester, New York, an artificial camphor factory, the product of which is intended to compete in the market with the nat ural substance. It is maintained that it does not differ except in the man. ner of its origin. from that extracted from the camphor trees of Formosa. Artificial camphor is made from essen- tial oils derived from turpentine Chemically, the only difference be- tween turpentine and camphor Is the possession by each molecule of the lat ter of one atom of oxygen, which is lacking in the former By chemical process the needed oxygen is supplied. Three-fourths Of the whole supply of camphor is used in the arts, and one fourth in medicine.

Acute Vision of Birds.

Birds have e very acute vision, per haps the most acute of any creature, and the sense is also more widely diff fused over the retina than is the case with man. Consequently a bird can see sideways as well as objects in front of 1t. A bird sees, showing great uneasiness in consequence, a hawk long before 1t is visible to man. So, too, fowls and pigeons find minute scraps of food, distinguishing them from what appear to us similar pieces of earth or gravel. Young chickens are also able to find their own food, knowing its position and how distant it is as soon as they are matched, whereas a child only very gradually learns either to see or to understand the distance of objects. Several birds, apparently the young of all those that nest on the ground, can see quite well directly they come out of the shell, but the young birds that nest in trees or on rocks are born blind and have to be fed.

MANCHURIAN HOUSES.
N0ONN<SNNN.N

'S~OSSSSSN'~S
 From the dwelling of the rich bank CT to the hut of the savage, says the author of "The Long White Noun tain," all houses in Manchuria are alike in four respects so far as circum- stances will admit. First, all face the south, because that is the quarter from which good influences come, and it has the incidental advantage of keeping the cruel north wind at the back. Secondly, Manchurian houses are all one-storled. Thirdly, the front of the house is filled with movable window-frames, with lattice panes of paper, not glass. As the summer ad- vances the paper can be torn away and the house ventiated; and then, when winter returns, the paper is very inexpensive to replace. Fourthly, built up against the wall, there is a k'ang running the length of the interior, and communicating between room and room.
 The k'ang is q platform about two and half feet high and five feet broad, made of brick Inside is flue carried four or five times up and down the whole length of the k'ang. At one end is boiler in which the family din- ner is cooked.
 Outside in the yard is chimney ten or twelve feet high, which creates draft through the fue. Thus all the smoke and heat of the kitchen fire pass backward and forward through the k'ang, warm it thoroughly, and finally emerge through the chimney. The top of the k'ang is covered with mating made of strips of bamboo or the rind of the tall millet.
 The convenience and economy of the k'ang are marvellous. Throughout the day it serves as place on which to sit and talk. At meal times it is the dining-room. The food is served on small tables a foot high, round which the family squats.
 In the evening the beds are unrolled, and it forms the general seeping-place. In the cold weather, with the ther- mometer below zero outside and below freezing point even within, a nice warm k'ang makes most agreeable bed on which to sleep.
 It is wonderful how little fuel is re- Quired to heat it. A boy lights a wisp of straw and stuffs it in a hole at tine foot of the k'ang. It seems impossible so insignificant a fire can affect the great mass of brickwork. But in about half an hour q gentle glow pervades the top of the k'ang, and all night long it remains delightfully."- warm.
 If in ignorance we ever ordered more fuel for the kang we only made 1t insufferably hot. Occasionally in inns we found k'angs so scorching by req son of several series of dinners having been cooked or because our beds were too near the boiler that we were con- 'pelled to sleep on the floor or on tables, CT else to lay quantity of straw under our bedding to mitigate the heat.
