HOW TO DROP PAIN.

"A man once grasped a very hot poker with his hand, and although he cried out with pain, held on to the poker. His friend called out to him to drop it, whereupon the man indignant ly cried out the more.
 ''Drop it? How can you expect me to think of dropping it with pain like this? I tell you when a man is suffer ing, as I am, he can think of nothing but the pain.
 And the more indignant he was, the tighter he held on to the poker, and the more he cried out with pain.
 In the same way people resist pain and hold on to it; when they are at. tackled with severe pain, they at once devote their entire attention to the sem sation of pain. instead of devoting 1t to the best means of getting relief. They double themselves up tight, and hold on to the place that hurts. Then all the nervous force tends toward the sore place and the tension retards the circulation and makes it difficult for nature to cure the pain, as she would spontaneously if sne were only al- lowed to have her own way.-Leslie's Monthly.

THE WILD HORSE RAGE.

In the track before the grand stand the ten riders, each with his saddle upon the ground and hackamore in hand, and each accompanied by the one helper allowed him, wait in pic turesque groups for the horses which are presently being dragged across the field through haze of dust, each ami. mai holding back on the rope, kicking striking, fighting for freedom every inch of the way. Not uutil he is blind, ed by handkerchief or bit of gunny sacking can he be held still at all. and anen only in tremulous uncertainty that turns to frenzy of bucking the instant the saddle touches his back In the mad mix-up of men and horses ropes and saddles, presently developed the wonder Is that anything can be ac- complished. BatSoOner than would have seemed possible to one is in the saddle--Or, to speak with accuracy more or less in the air above it; ancShel follows and then another, the horses all bucking, rearing and pitching more wildly than ever Then one has some how worked his way through the milling mass; others Rre fast after him, the riders, permitted only hacka more brides, that scarce may guide the crazed animals at all, triumphant ly waving hats and Quirts as they make off by such eccentric sequence Of bone tacking jumps, pitches and ''crow- hop ping" that no wonder some have tC pull leather while others come ts grief upon the ground -Leslie's Mnoth lv

Another symptom of alarm on the ington correspondent, is the trepidation with which the hitherto invincible Bab- cock, the chairman of the republican congressional committee. enters this campaign for the new house of the ff- ty-ninth congress. He practically has admitted to the leading members of the republican side of the house that they have no more chance to win the next house than has a one-legged man at a kicking match. He said he had warned them that there was demand for tariff revision in many of the sec tions of this country and that they had allowed the suggestion to go unheeded. He informed them that 1t had cost him thousands of dollars to be renominated in his district on account of the dis affection of the LaFgoIlette republicans of the state of Wisconsin, and that he doubted very much if he could be re elected. Now, the truth is that Bab- cock is no more of tariff reformer than the veriest trust beneficiary of the tariff schedules in this country, but he saw the gathering storm for tariff reform and was quick to>get to cover and warn his colaborers in the tariff vineyard that something was doing in the country in the way of tariff reyis- ion. He did not do this because he Is q genuine reformer and believes in it, but because he saw that unless he did something of the kind he would be left at home in his own district. He is sim ply type of the republican opportun- ist who veers with every wind and bends to every passing breeze. He notes that the passing breeze has be- come cyclone and he doubts his abil- ity to stem the hurricane of ballots that will fall his way in this next cleo tion.

Paris needs gold in any event to meet the strain imposed there by the de- cline in Russian bonds and to provide for the new war loans. Both Russia and Japan have commenced to bor- row on an extensive scale, and such operations will be an important fac tor in the foreign money markets un- til the war is over. Japan's early victories will sting Russia into more desperate efforts for recovery, howso- ever remote the chances of success seem now. Our own market has been only slightly affected by these move ments, owing to our large gold supply and the lessened demands of both trade and speculation as stated above; but the placing of q portion of these loans here is significant movement and, if successful, likely to extend. Another important factor in the local money market just now is the financial operations connected with the ESQ., 100000 city bond sale, with payment for $20,0O0,O00 of telephone notes and with winding up of the steel syndi- cate, etc Evidently important calls are likely to be made upon our money market though the prospects are for continued ease until crop demands as- sert themselves.

Some progress has been made in she matter of a proposal to subsidize a line of steamships to ply between Canadian and Mexican ports, says an exchange. The Dominion government has proposed a subsidy of S5O,OOd q year, and it Is said that three com. panies, two of them Canadian, are al ready seeking to take advantage of it. The Mexicon consul general in Mon. tral is quoted as authority for the statement that when the line is es- tablished Mexico intends to main. tain full corps of consuls In Canada A considerable amount of business for such line is already fairly assur- ed. Mexico can use a good deal o1 Cape Breton coal, and can buy Can ada's salt, dried and pickled fish, be sides being a potential customer fos many other Canadian products. Can ada can use Mexican sugar, hemp isis al grass), coffee, dye woods and other tropical and sub-tropical products The plan to make Havana port oI call would open to Canada larger commerce with Cuba, chiefly perhaps i'll tobacco, although other articles would find an important place. Ha vana has had q Canadian bank fol several years. The present intention is to make Montreal and Vera Cruz tn, terminal ports, and the time of the run is estimated at eight or nine days. w, may be very wideawake people our selves, but it is evident that ou neighbors on the north and south ar, not sound asleep.

PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHTER.
The Wretched Condition of Japan's Working Women Is Being
 Improved.

Industrial opportunities are being slowly opened to women In Japan, whose economic condition is said to be exceedingly wretched Not only were the professions not open to them, but not even factories or respectable stores would employ them, and the government set it's face against them by refusing to engage them for cleri- cal work or in connection with it's telephone, telegraph or railroad ser- vice, says 8 London exchange. The lives of working women in Japan have been slavelike. A change, however, is taking place in public sentiment. as is indicated by the decision of a wealthy firm of weavers to take girls into it's employ, and the announcement of the SEailroad company that hereafter it will employ women as conductors, possibly also as engineers.
 In Japan well-bred woman does not go to the theater until she is old and ugly It is not thought proper for her to understand music, If she Is re- ligious, she is termed 'sfiighty." She spends most of her time at home at tending to her children and servants, and performing all sorts of menial service for her husband and his fam fly. It has been said that "a woman in Japan does not marry for a husband, but to be unpaid servant to his fam iIyp

At this very last session of con gress," said Congressman De For est, in his speech before the democrat ic convention at Hartford, ''better known as the shirlxing session, chiefly distinguished by that great inyestigiat- ing and whitewashing act to which I have alluded, measure was intro duced, and referred to the committee on labor, providing that eight hours should constitute "a days work sn all government contracts. The hired ad- vocates of the capitalists and the trusts came in, and fairly shed tears in their expostulation, because, they said. the measure was uneonstituEion- al, and the republican committee of the republican congress refused to re- commend 1t. Constitutional enough to legislate what price the capitalist shall receive for his wares, from every man that tolls from sun to sun to sap- port his family; from every woman that shivers from cold, for want of fuel and necessary clothing, from ev- cry child that pines for proper nonr- ishments or dies, perhaps, for want of necessary medicine constitutions to say what labor and poverty shall ray for all these things, or that they shall be deprived of them because of 1he enhanced price, but not constitutional to say what the capitalist SO enricled shall pay back to his victims. Is not that a holy doctrine?"

The demoralizing effects of war are not alone measured by the fact of whether the government is involved in 1t, for the people as individuals be. come involved in their own way, says one writer. Russia sent to the Unit ed States last year 136,O0O souls, of whom 47,O0O were Jews, 89,OOO were Poles, 1S,O00 Films, and only $500 were true Russians. These, people are all known as Russians, however. But the Poles, Finns and Lithuanians all side with the mikadO, and think that his victory over the czar would be q triumph over oppression and deceitful diplomacy. It is only the true Rus slams who, following their native re- ligion, believe that fidelity to She head of their church and nation Is simply a duty to God.

FEW DENTISTS IN SOUTH AMER
 ICAN CITIES.

philadelphia turns out, on an aver age, oyer 300 dentists every year," said young member of the dental profession yesterday. "Of course, a great many of them come here from all over the country, and even from foreign countries. and when they are through with their studies they return to their homes. For my part, I've about made up my mind to migrate to South America. where the oppor- tunities are practically unlimited. Take the city Of Buenos Ayres. 1t has a population of over 100000, with only about fifty dentists. 1t is q cos mopoIitan community, too, English, Germans and Italians having located there in great numbers In fact few of the South American cities have II full quota of dentists.

SATURDAY, MAY 7, 1904.

The democratic convention has come and gone and Homer S. Cummings is still wearing his democratic hide. Editor Troup failed to nail 1t to the cr--barn door. If we are to belieYe all we hear Troup and Cummings are better friends since the convention, and from this time forth will be found pulling together nicely. The conven- tion has left no hard feelings or bat tered heads, and with 8 long pull and strong pull the rough riders will be routed bag and baggage and the demo- crats will show the country how to conduct it's business for the benefit of the whole people, and not any chosen few of them. Up and at them from now on, and let no guilty g. Q. p. man escape.

EXAMPLE, or HONESTY.

A PhiIadelphian recently returned from Ireland tells the following story and vouches for it's veracity:
 T was in remote part of the Green Isle and was compelled to stay at 2 wayside inn during the night. Eyi dently the place was not frequented by travellers to any great extent, and my reception was made gala occasion Before retiring I placed my shoes out side of my room to be polished, accord. ing to the European custom. In the morning found them as left them I informed the landlord that l had put my boots out and that they had not been touched.
 Sure, sor.' he replied, you cud lave your watch outside O. yttr dour all night in this house an 1t wouldn't be touched Philadelphia Press.

IRON CASTING IN U. $

What is believed to be the first iron casting made in the territory now in cluded in the United States is preserv- ed in Lynn, Mass. It's history is well authenticated It is cooking pot, weighing little over two pounds. It was made about 1642, near Lynn, where n small blast furnace was built that year. This furnace used charcoal for fuel with bog ore found in the meadow along the Saugqs river and oyster shells as Aux. The furnace was operated until 1888, with some inter- missions.

THE MEN WHO SPEND
 A BILLION DOLLARS

Every new member of tho house is naturally anxious to secure assignment to one of the committees charged with the duty of framing the great appro- priation bills that carry money for the maintenance and operation of all de- partments of the government. There is some excuse for this, for the almost endless detail in connection with the preparation of these measures calls for much work by sub committees, the members of which are usually assigned the duty of manag- ing the progress of the measures through the house. Positions on these committees bring the members into direcr and close per- Sonal touch with the cabinet members at the heads of the different departments of the govern ment, and the spokesmen of the eap- propriation bills are tacitly recognized as appearing in the championship of the policies and plans of the adminis- tration, The men on these committees undertake an almost endless amount of hard work, must be equipped with expert knowledge of governmental needs and must possess courage that amounts to genius to keep approria- tions within reasonable bounds. It Is Il "billion dollar" government and the
 men who prepare it's expense bills and provide for the disbursement of it's funds display ability that would com mand almost fabulous salaries in the conduct of private enterprises, yet their share of the public credit is re- markably small.-Leslie's Monthly.

Climbing Mountains

Is a fascinating and lnvlgorat1ng past
time. 1t develops not the body only,
but the mind. The Alpine Peaks OF
Switzerland have their counterpart in
our own country, in the Sierras, the
Cascades, and parts of the Rockies.
The greatest glacial peak of the
United States is Mt. Rainier, in Wash
ington, ore than 14,5OO feet high.
This magnificent mountain has Is or
more giant glaciers creeping down it's
sides and ~discharging their glacial
detritus into the Columbia river or
Puget sound.
A climb to the summit of this peak
is a mountaineering feat worthy OF
any mountaineer. For rs cents A. M.
Cleland, general passenger agent OF
the Northern Pacific railway, st. Paul,
Minn.-will send to any address an H.
Illustrated booklet called climbing
Mt. Rainer," describing a climb over
the glaciers to the top of the noun.

next day the election commissioners,
among them a republican politician

tary of state the following certificate:

nine, November IL, 1904. We, z. T.

vass the returns of the county of Jes-
samine, do certify that at an election
held in said county on November 8,

The Jessamine county system
should be placed on the market, and
meanwhile that certificate should be
