Ancient ventriioqui.n,.

yentriloquism was undoubtedly
known both to the Jews and to the
Egyptians. It was used by many per-
sons for purposes Of deception. The
wizards who employed 1t declared that
their familiar spirit" resided in the
abdomen. whence the voice was sup
posed to proceed. The Old Testament
Scriptures abound with denunciations
both Of persons who had these IA
miliar spirits and Of those who went
to seek their advicei and assistance.
They were treated as though they were
in familiar intercourse with the evil
one and according to Jewish law re-
ceived no mercy. Instances. however.
are very frequent In much later his
tory of deception being successfully
practiced by persons having this pecul-
far gift.

VOTING FOR PARTY.

A political commentator in comparing
the similarity of two old political parties,
where platforms are at present almost
identical, takes occasion to remark on
the lack of independence of voters as a
class, and the "habit :" of voting for
party, no matter where the declaration OF
the platform of their favorite party may
place them. This trait of party bias is
declared to especially noticeable with
the working class, who "stick to their
party" no matter what it stands for.
An extract from the article in question
reads:
"The last vestige of difference between
the republican and democratic parties has
almost disappeared. So apparent has
this become that it furnishes theme for
cynical journalists, cartoonists, and para
graphers, and is veritable godsend to
the literary gentlemen who grind out the
weekly quota of jokes for the capitalist
press. On all hands it is recognized that
"Wall Street" reigns supreme in the
councils and directs the policies of both
parties.
"The garrulous octogenarian, nomi-
mated as Vice-Presidential candidate on
the Democratic ticket declared that the
platforms were identical, !" that "either
party policy was equally acceptable to
the business interests" and that the
election was simply question of persons
Watson, Presidential nominee of the de-
funct Populist party, calls attention to the
same fact, in the hope that through it the
resurrection of Populism may be accom-
plished, while Bryan, ever since the St.
Louis convention has not ceased to de-
plore" the supremacy of the. plutocratic
interests in the Democratic party.
And yet Notwithstanding this wide
spread recognition, it is not likely that
the vote of the Democratic party will be
diminished on this account to a proper
tionate extent in November. The con.
servatism " connected with names and
traditions of long standing, is still too
potent to be overthrowu in such short
order. Millions of men, and especially
the working class, vote the old party
tickets almost wholly as matter of habit
and custom, the principles for which they
stand being almost entirely disregarded.
Hardly one wage Garner in hundred
will deny that politics is controlled by
wealth, or that generally speaking, the
politicians on both sides are INSCRIPTIONS
scouudrels and grafters. AS matter oil
fact this idea is already well grounded in
the popular mind, as may be easily seer
by noting the esteem in which so-called
honest men," exceptions to the pre-.
vailing rule, are held. And yet thi.
recognition of honesty" is mostly in
sufficient to secure the election of such q
candidate, even from those who admit hi.
high moral character. The attachment
to party name and tradition proves gen
orally handicap too heavy to overcome

COlored Clothes and Health.
The health value Of colored clothes
is infinitely superior to that of sable
fabrics. You will find more microbes
to the square inch on dark than on
light garments. Black arrests the
health giving rays Of the sun. It is
strange that Nine. la Mode should turn
out to be only the high priestess Of

has not struck it fat by earning the repri-
mand of General Humphrey, his superior
officer, Clem's offence consisting in tun-
ming back into the U. S. Treasury the
sum of $4,000 ''unexpended balance of
the appropriation for the last fiscal year. !"
His nisdemeanor was in strictly obeying
the law, which commands that all bal
ances shall be turned back into the treas
ury when not used for the specific pur-
pose for which they were appropriated.
His superior seems to have learned that
an officers chief duty is to spend all the
money in sight. 1t is, indeed. the custom
of departments and bureaus in this city to
scrupulously avoid returning to the Treas
ury any money that can possibly be used
for any purpose. This is generally man
aged by hunting up and finding poor
and worthy persons, usually relations who
are out of job and giving them some
thing to do which does not need doing
and is of no value when done. Was it
not Corporal Tanner who the other day
generously divided up the unexpected
balance" among his deserving clerks?
And who has made any fuss about it?

COPE

: Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the. soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest Of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is apleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.
