REFORM AND POLITICS.

A prominent Chicago POLITICIAN, re-
Gently gave some excellent advice at
a meeting Gf, clergymen and others
VINO desired the better enforcement
of a local law.
He said:
Il will tell you that You will never
succeed until you ministers and
church members descend into the
world OF politics. You must see to
it that none but good men are nOmi-
mated, and then do not forget to elect
them when they are nominated"
That's it,
TO be force in politics you must
go into politics.
Instead of standing to one side and
denouncing the "ring and the
bosses" after the usual manner of
refOrmcrs, why do not these people
form ring and make IL boss of their
own.
The mayor of Omaha, is a wise
man in his generation. He is a
practical politician who succeeds.
He is also very frank. Some time
ago he made the public statement
that he preferred the support of the
saloon keepers and the gambler; to
the support of the ministers and
the church people.
Not because he cares more for the
saloon keepers and gamblers.
But because these and their ilk
"descend into the world of politics, +"
while the ministers and the church
people draw their cloaks about them
and shy the filthy fool
Plain, isn't it?

THE MAN AS HE WAS.

Now that Senator Mark Hanna is
gone and his power as the real leader
of the dominant party of the nation
i, broken, bouquets are being tossed
upon his grave
In lite Mark Hanna was hated and
bitterly maligned, as is the case with
all strong men.
He has been the object of torrent
of abuse that has been one of the
most picturesque features of national
politics for eight years. Yet he was
a rock against which the waves OF
criticism beat unavailing.
He was not great according to old
established standards. But a com
mercial age required new standard
of greatness in craftsmanship which
Mark Hanna's public life furnished.
His has been the craftsmanship of
industry, of commerce, of finance.
In the most progressive period of
the most progressive people upon the
earth he was perhaps the most
potent leader of his time.
Demagogues maligned him as they
do other men of his stamp. But that
is the way of the demagogue.
Good old DR.. Edward Everett
Hale. chaplain of the United States
Senate, in his Grafton at Senator
Hanna's funeral, paid his respects to
this class in the following language.
It's worth reading:
"That class of people, which is too
large, who make it their profession
to ascribe the worst conceivable mo-
tives for every human action, could
not make Mr.. Hanna out, when he
appeared in what is called public
life. They made the mistake, which
such men always make, of thinking
that the mind, with all its maneu-
vers and gymnastics and memories
and ina inatiOns, is greater and
stronger than the soul of man, when
it works in sincerity and truth, in
faith and hope and love. They had
to imagine, therefore, II cunning in
trigue, a man who accounted for his
success as you might account for a
boys success in game of marbles
but the analyses of character did not
prove true. You might as well COM
pare the stilted adiectivcs and sub
stantatives of n schOolbOy's theme
against the passionate song of Burns
or Tennyson. Here was no contriver
no schemer, no mere inventor-least
of all was here any copyist. Here
was whole souled child of God, who
believed in success, and who knew
how to succeed by using the infinite
powers. He knew that faith anc
hope and love serve, if you would
mine iron or smelt it or draw it into
bars, and he was not afraid to trust
in faith and hope and love if the
business in hand were the governing
of States, if he did the thing that he
was set to do ~

PRESS AND PULPIT.

1.-The mightiest force in the world
is the aroused conscience of a great
people, and the chief quickener and
educator of that conscience in the
past has been the pulpit. The press
is taking the place of the pulpit, and
is becoming the most important ard
effectual support of virtues cause.
This was the unqualified delar&
ton of Rev. Madison G.. Peters some
time ago in Philadelphia. The
statement is refreshingly novel.
But it is a recognition of Il fact which
is becoming daily more obvious, that
the power of the press is mighty
force for good.
But DR.. Peters is putting it rather
strongly when he says that the press
is taking the place of the pulpit
Each has its own place and function,
and the one can not replace the
other.
Each can supplement the other.
Both can work, each in its own way,
toward the same end, They can

DUODEClMALISMS.
In Theory the Number IL IL IN Better
Unit Than IL 10.


Herbert Spencer was ever opposed to
the metric system. He was no such fool
as to call the present British reckon
ing in pounds, shiilings and pence sat
isfactory. His point was that the mum.
Der - was better unit than 10.
Twelve is twice divisible where 10 Is
only once divisible. One-Quacter Of 10
is 2la, not an integral number. There
are other reasons, based upon the OBJ
served workings of the human mind,
all tending to show that TO reckon in
dozens is more natural than to reckon
in tens us soon as man grows beyond
the finger counting stage.
In scientific duodecimalsm new char.
acters would have to be designed for
10 and II, while II itself would be writ
ten 10. The number now called l44
would be written as 100, and 1,72S
would be 1000. The present number
100 would be 81. In the course Of n
hundred years or so. when people had
got used to it, the duodeclmal system
would be just as convenient as the dec
imal. Twelve inches would make foot,
twelve feet rod, and so on. -.
In theory duodecimalism is sound.
But it is not an easy thing to change
peoples standardsI6f money, weights
and measures New York World.

bring about results in the public
conscience that may sometimes
seem to be alike.
But there is a vast difference.
The pulpit appeals to a few whose
ideal is perfect morality. steadily
elevates that ideal and cultivates
enthusiasm and activity in making
the ideal applicable In the every day
lives of those who accept it. 1t puts
the leaven into the human loaf.
The press appeals to the mass,
Moral teaching is not its prime pur-
pose. The press is mirror that re-
fleets mankind as it is. The world
may look in it and see itself. The
bad is there as well as the good, and
more bad than good because truth
requires it,
But the press is II great leveler'
1t brings all mankind into common
understanding of life. To the vast
mass that the pulpit can not directly
reach the press carries the ieaven
that the pulpit gives to class. 1t
brings all men into knowledge OF the
ideal.
The torch that the pulpit keeps
burning the press waves on the
mountain tops, carries through the
valleys and thrusts into the darkest
shadows of human existence.
If the torch burns true, it may be
said the press gives moral light to
the world; but it does not supply the
torch-it does not take the place of
the pulpit.
The press is one of the most mat
ter-of-fact institutions in the world,
Good people are prone to complain
of it because it does not preach more
and portray less. They mistake its
mission and misunderstood its con-
ditions.
The press is ceaseless series OF
living pictures of the punishments
that follow crimes, of the suicides
that follow sins, of the want and
despair that come of improvidenceS
or unjust conditions, of the successes
that come of right endeav0rs, of the
Joys that are linked with hones
loves, d of the sweet and serene
old age that ripens with homes

WASHINGTON'S METHODS.
The Way the Father of HIS Country
Conducted Receptions.

Conducted Receptions.
Presidential receptions at the White
House nowadays are vastly different
from those given by the Father of His
Country when he was at the head of
the government. Philadelphia was then
the scene. The president rented house
at Sixth and Market streets for $4,000
a year and dressed himself much more
deliberately than he had for similar oc-
casions in New York
On the occasion Of presidential re-
Ception chosen few were admitted
and formed a circle around the recep-
ton room. Then the president made
the round, favorlng each with formal
bow and few words. Then he return
ed to his position before the fireplace,
and they in turn were conducted to
him, bowed and retired.
There was no handshaking, his hands
being so bestowed as to indicate that
the salutation was not to be accompa-
MED with shaking hands," At these
levees our first president shone, too, in
the matter of dress. Washington Is de-
scribed as Respondent In black velvet,
silver knee and shoe buckles, long black
silk stockings, his powdered hair tied
In a silk bag or cue behind. He wore
yellow gloves and held a cooked hat in
his Exchange.

Macedonian Girls,

In Macedonia girls usually marry at
the age Of thirteen or fourteen, and a
husband will pay f15 to E2O for wife
If she Is a good reaper and expert at
homework and spinning When girls
from the villages marry townsmen no
money is paid, the bride instead bring
ing her trousseau with her in exchange,
as 1t were, for the privilege of becom-
Ing town lady" In the latter case
the bride most likely will be required to
do little or no work in the fields. and
that is the great ambition of most girls

QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

When is the best time for spraying
with Dordeau mixture for the die
back?
Answer: The new growth is par
ticularly to be protected and the
spray is injurious to buds and bloom.
Any time after the fruit is well set,
therefore, is adapted to the objects in
view.
In planting cassaya for hog food is
it feasible to plan to let the hogs do
their own harvesting?
Ans: This is the most economical
method wherever the crop is grown
in fields to which the animals may
be allowed access. This is one of the
material advantages which cassava
possesses over corn as fattening
material.
In tables of feedstuff and fertilizer
analyses when the term cottOnseed
meal is used, does it refer to the
bright or to the dark meal?
Ans. The dark meal, from sea
island cotton, cuts SO little figure in
the market that it is never intended
except when so specified. This is an
important point since the difference
between the two, in fertilizing and
feeding value, is nearly one-fourth in
favor of the bright meal.
What is the most economical form
of lime for fowls2
Ans; Ground oyster shells are
much preferable to other CONNER

Carter, of Glastonbury, Conn, was
received here a few days ago. Mr..
Carter spent one winter in Hunting
ton several years ago. Mrs. Carter,
their son Ralph b. and Mrs. Carriers
sister Miss Bidwell, have spent so
many winters here and at Crescent

of friends here who will sympathize
with them in this time of their be-
reavement.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bruce have
been spending Il few days with their
daughter and her husband, q. j,
Kimball, of Burke, VT, who is work
ing for Capt. j. w. Miller, and who

their daughter through the summer.
A. J Smith contemplates making
extensive repairs on his dwelling.
He will put on an addition and raise
the roof of the main part so as to have
a two-story house.
The warm days Of the last week or
more have started the new growth on
the orange trees and the indications
are that there will be large crop of
oranges III coming fall.
Many of the larger orange growers
have ordered their fertilizer and are
making preparations to give their
groves an early working.
