Presidential najorities.

The result of the official count in
Maryland shows that the electoral vote
Of that state is divided, giving seven
votes to Parker and one to Roosevelt.
This slightly changes the total and the
final count stands, Roosevelt 1886; Parker
lao. Roosevelt's majority is 1876 votes,
which is not as large by sixteen votes as
was Pierce's majority over Scott in 1852.
In that election Scott's military reputa-
ton was depended upon to win him a
large popular vote, but he was actually
the worst beaten candidate in the his
tory of the country. He received forty
two electoral votes to Pierce's 254.
In 1872 General Grant received 286
electoral votes and Horace Greeley, his
nearest rival, got only forty seven. Seven
other candidates got total of nineteen.
Grants plurality was 239 and his major
ity 22O.
But in the matter OF popular majority
Roosevolt's majority breaks all records.
1t is likely that he will have close to two
million votes the best of Parker. The
popular majority against Greeley was
727,0O0 Mckinley beat Bryan four
years ago by s49,790, and in 1896 by 603,
S54. These figures we're considered as
tonishing, but they seem insignificant in
the face of the 100000 or thereabouts
which President Roosevelt has received.

Why Not See nexicof

Forty eight hours travel will take you
from the cold, clustering northern win
ter to land of sunshine and flowers.
What Egypt and India are to the old
world, Mexico is to the new. "a land Of
white sunshine, redolent with flowers; a
land of gay costumes, crumbling church
es, and old converts; land of kindly
greetings, of extreme courtesy, of open,
broad hospitality. 1t was more than
enough to revel in an italian sun, light
ing up semi i-tropical land; to look up
to white-capped peaks, towering into
blue; to look down upon wind-swept
plains, encircled by ragged chains Of
mountains; and to realize that to-day.
in its varied scenery, costumes, architec-
ture, street life, canals crowded with
hower-laden boats, market plazas throng-
ed with gaily dressed natives, faded
church interiors, and abandoned con-
vents, Mexico is the most marvelously
picturesque country under the sun. A

Topics Of the Times.

A new disease, or at least new name
for an old disease, has been discovered
by noted brain specialist of London.
1t is mental jaundice. Worrying over
trities is one cause. Greed, pride and
prejudice are others. Whatever the
cause, the effect is to make one look up
on this beautiful world of ours with dis
content and to find continual fault with
fellow travellers toward the grave, writes
Robert Webster Jones in the September
Housekeeper. "Let a person once be-
come infected with this disease says
the specialist, "and nothing but the most
rigorous methods will effect cure. l
believe mental jaundice is on the in
crease, especially among the upper class
es. 1t is the source of more unhappi-
ness, to the patient as well as to those
about him, than almost any other dis
ease. Physical jaundce produces yell
lowness of skin, which after awhile be-
comes yellowness of the eyes. This pro-
duces condition of the eye which
makes the patient see everything yellow
Mental jaundice is analogous. Its vic
tim sees nothing in its true colors or pro-
portions. Everything is distorted by his
diseased mental condition"
What is the remedy? The specialist
does not say, but 1t may be assumed that
the cure rests almost wholly with the
patient. Optimism may be made hab-
it as well as pessimism. 1t is well with
in any ones power to open the windows
of his soul and let in the sunshine.
Cheerfulness produces both mental and
physical health. Let us avoid getting
into that condition which invites mental
jaundice. 1t is best combatted by a
smile on the face and song in the heart.

An exchange gives the following truth
full sketch of the jack rabbit: The Colo
RADIO jack rabbit is prairie institution
that gives the settlers dogs plenty Of ex-
ercise. When the settler sees jack rab-
bit for the first time-starts him up sud
denly on the prairie-he imagines that
by quick movement he can lay his
hands on him. The rabbit Is awkward,
appears to be lame in every joint, holds
up one foot as though it panied him, and
altogether creates the belief that he is
dilapidated wreck of an ungainly, ami
mate thing. The settler is surprised
that he cannot "grab" him. The set
tiers dog, also, is confident that he can
quickly make an end Of the rabbit. He
bristles, runs leisurely toward the rabbit,
doubles his speed, doubles it again, trip
les that, quadruples the whole, when, 10!
the rabbit disappears. There is some
flying grass, vanishing streak of light,
a twinkling of two podded feet extended
rearward, aud he is gone. The dog sits
on his launches and concludes that it
was dream, and that he did not see
rabbit at all.

Mr.. Arthur Chapman, writing from
Durham, Natal, South Africa, says: "As
proof that Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy is cure suitable for old and young,
pen you the following: A neighbor Of
mine had a child just over two months
old. 1t had very bad cough and the
parents did not know what to give it.
suggested that if they would get bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and put
some upon the dummy teat the baby
was sucking it would no doubt cure the
child. This they did and brought about
quick relief and cured the baby"

was charged with being an escaped convict.
He firmly protested that his name was Stick

years elapsed before the police arrested
a man who was exactly like Stewart. and
then It was discovered that this man was the

WHAT HELPS THE OPTICIANS
And Why There Are 80 Many Of Them, a. Set

Before ever wore glasses said a man
who now does wear them. I used to wonder
how all the opticians made living. there
were 80 many OF them, It seemed TO ne
that II all creation was blind 1t wouldn I
be enough TO supply them all with business
But now know.
when first put on glasses ! said II
myself, Well, that's done. I've got my
glasses: and supposed that's all there
was to It. thought that in ave or ten
years or 80 I'd get my eyes examined over
again and maybe have to buy another
pair, but that In the meantime i should
be under no further expense.
But as a matter Of fact I smash Cd my

them, and I break my glasses on an average
now about seventeen times year. ! had
thought that my opddan and would be
comparative strangers, should SEQ him 80

Il am a regular customer, and instead
OF being comparative strangers we are
really well acquainted and friends, |
certainly couldn't get along without him.
and don't suppose he could get along
without me.
And that accounts for the opdcan's pros
perity. 1t ism { the original number Of glasses
he sells, but ii is the number OF the renewals
and repairs he makes that keeps him going
and makes him rich: and when look at 10
in this light and reflect that while perhaps
not more than one person in ten wears
glasses, yet in effect his customers number
more than all creation, why, my wonder
is not that there are so many opticians

ERRORS OF ENGLISH COURTS.
Gases OF Mistaken Identity That Have
Resulted In Great Hardships.


Fyery wear sees q number OF inn ooent
men wrongly convicted. and while In some
cases proofs Of these judicial errors come
TO hand after the victims have served but q
few months imprisonment. in many in
stances the mistakes are not found out until
after those convicted have served their full
sentence.
The public rarely hears of these mistakes
OF Justice and yet IN 1897 thirty-one men
and women were released and granted a
free pardon after having been wrongly i'm
prisoned for over four months. In none
OF these cases was the victim granted any
compensation, nor does the law entitle them

In cases OF mistaken identity similar to
that Of Adolph Beck. there are very few prec-
edents Of compensatory bounty having been
granted while those on record do not show
a dispensaton OF very large sums. How
ever, some sixty years ago most fragrant
instance Of miscarriage Of justice occurred.
A " ell know solicitor named Barber was.
after long trial. convicted OF forgery and
WAS sentenced to transportation for life.
A considerable time elapsed before proofs
turned up which infallibly proved that justice
had erred. In this case 1t was felt that there
we're moral and intellectual claims for COM
pensation for suffering which had been borne
so long, so terribly ana SO unoeserVeoly on
the shoulders OF an innocent man. long
debate was held to determine the exact sum
of money which could. In some measure at
least, make up for the personal agony which
tho victim had undergone. and eventually
the House OF Commons ordered the wrongod
man a bounty OF $4,000.
Some three years ago man from New
Zealand was brought TO Colchester. charged
with having committed murder. Eventu-
ally, however, the case against him was
dismissed, and taking into account the fear
full strain which the innocent man must have

The largest sum which has ever been
granted in almost exactly similar conditions
TO those under which Adolph Beck wrong
fully suffered imprisonment occurred eT-
