 Charles Nolan, 3 years old, is bleed ing to death from a cut fin his gum not larger than a pinhead. All efforts of physicians to stop the flow of blood have proved ineffectual, and he has been given up to die.
 His death will be the second in each of three succeeding generations of this family caused by bleeding. Mrs. Mo- Ian has already lost one son from the same cause; her mother lost two sons in the same way, and her grandmother lost two sons who bled to death.
 The girls in the family have all es- capped, but every son for three gener- cause.

The Philadelphia Record, in cOmpar- ing some of the votes, says the land slide in Nebraska was due to the dis integFation of the Democratic Party and not to the popularity of the Presi- deRt or of any of the policies to which his party is committed" and that is largely true of some other States of the West and Middle West.

An Important Duty.

 The late election should teach every Democrat In the land to go to the polls and vote in every State and Federal election. It is an imperative duty that should not be neglected. The ballot is a sacred privilege, and should be ex- ercised as a personal and public duty.

POLAR possrnrLrrrEs.


 There is one feature connected with the Polar expeditions that is not re- ceiving as much attention as it ought. The astronomers and the geographers, the mineraloEIsts and the treasure hunters. and all the scientists and curi- osity mongers are watching. for dis- ferent reasons and with different objects, for the time when 1t will be possible to make a trip to the North Pole as we now visit other remote ssc- tions, but hetetofore but little has been said about the archaeologists and the Bible students, yet it may be possible that they have. more absorbing in- terest in the expected discovery than any of the others.
 Some years ago a learned professor, whose name we do not now call> to mind, wrote an ingenious book to prove that the Garden of Eden Twas actually located at the North Pole. We do not remember much of his reasoning, but do remember that he seemed to estab- fish the site of that famous spot of ground to his own satisfaction, whether others were convinced or not. At any rate. his book is not entirely forgotten, and if Peary or some other explorer succeeds in reaching the Pole we may be sure that among the first to take advantage of 1t, so soon as travel is established. will be Bible students to investigate thef garden theory.
