Slaves of Their Own Doubts.

The habit many people have of tor turing themselves because of their 1n- ability to remember whether or not they have done certain things is di- agnosed as a disease by a French physician and called folie de doute. The victims are slaves of their own doubts. They suffer tortures from their Inability to remember whether they addressed a letter correctly, whether they turned off the gas prop srly before they got into bed, whether tile fires have been properly safeguard ed for the night, etc. The business man cannot remember whether he closed his desk when he left his office and perhaps gets off his train at the first station and takes the next one back to town only to find that every thing is all right. The housekeeper lies awake for hours worrying about the kitchen window and finally creeps downstairs to find it securely closed. The learned physician who diagnosed this distressing complaint has not, un- happily, suggested remedy.

SSBOndS of Freedom"

If marriage without love is not mar riage, so also love which does violence to marriage is not love. The marriage ceremony is not proclamation of i'm prisonment, but of opportunity. It's bond is not a letter, but a garland. Still, it ray not be disdained or broken. The crowning does not make the king, you say. No, but 1t places upon the man whose head receives the crown the obligation to sacrifice, if need be, everything that is mortal in him to its honor-North American Re view

VEGETABLE CATERPILLAR.
A Curious Combination of Animal

Curious Combination of Animal
 and Plant Life.
 Vegetable caterpillar is the name giv- en to a fungus-Cordyceps robertsii- found in New Zealand. It exhibits a curious and mysterious combination of animal and vegetable life and is in- variably found associated as a para site with the bulrush caterpillar. How the spores of the fungus enter the in- sect, which has never yet been met with as grub or moth, is not certainly known. Sir Joseph Hooker suggests they get lodged in its neck as it buries itself. At any rate, the fungus springs from the head of the buried insect and gradually absorbs it's inside till the whole body becomes full of purely veg etable tissue, though in outward ap- pearance it remains unchanged, head, legs and claws being seen clearly in detail. The pulpy vegetable matter has q nutty flavor and is eaten with relish by pigs and greedily devoured by the Maori wood hen. The fungus, after growing to a height of about six Inches, dies and dries up. London Standard.

A Word to State Republicans.

"The Republican party is not re-
sponsible for the misuse that has been
made of it in Philadelphia" says the
editor of the Juniata Herald THE
truth is that it deserves credit for cor
recting the wrongs that have been COM
mitted by some of it's faithless mem-
bers. The corruption that has existed
in Philadelphia is wholly of a local
character and the party in the state has
no connection with or relation to it.
Why should the party elsewhere suffer
on account of 1t? Why should state
candidates be defeated because of what
has occurred in single city? II the
sins of a few were to be visited upon
the party when could 1t ever be sue
cessful? The Republican ticket is COM
posed of honest men, was fairly nomi-
mated and is entitled to the support Of
every member of the party. Be sure
to vote for it

WHEN TO BEGIN REVISION.
Time Will BE Ripe When the Free
Soup Houses Open.


y correspondent of the American
Economist, writing from Jacksonville
Fla, gives the following answer to the
question, When shall we revise the
tariff?'
1 think it will be time to revise the
tariff when they begin to start free soup
houses in the large cities
1t is an excellent suggestion There
were no free soup houses in 1892. after
two years of the Mckinley tariff But
somehow the people took notion that
they would like to have some. SO they
elected Grover Cleveland and Demo
cratic congress. Well, they got the
soup houses all right, and plenty of
them, even before they began to revise
the tariff.
When the revision came in 1894 there
were more soup houses. They were
in full blast in 1896. Then the people
decided once more that the tariff need
ed revising, and it did, whereupon
they elected William Mckinley and
Republican protection congress. Soup
houses disappeared forthwith There
has been none for eight years. Pos
sibly they may reappear under the
Dingley tariff, but probably not. But
In any case it would be well to wait
until they do come again before we re-
wise the tariff. The Florida idea is
good one

THE STATE TREAsURERsHIP

Republican Nominee AS Viewed BY An
Editor From His Home County.
In commenting upon the contest for
state treasurer, the editor of the Holli-
daysburg Register says:
Hon. J. Lee Plummer the Republi-
can candidate for state treasurer, has
the ability to fill that Office with
credit. This fact cannot be success
fully contradicted; besides, he is
known by the people with whom he
has lived all his life to be perfectly
honest and reliable and a man of the
strictest integrity. While not Pro-
hibtionist. he is man of the strictest
temperance habits. These are facts
which cannot be controverted He was
regularly nominated in a Republican
state convention. composed of dele
gates who were chosen by the Republi-
cans Of the various counties of the
state.
There was every opportunity for
any man in the state to contest the
nomination with him. He was nomi
mated fairly as the candidate of his
party Now. what Republican can have
a valid excuse to vote against him?
Is it better that the Republicans as
sist a Democrat into one of the best
Offices of the state, or vote for their
candidate who is in every way worthy?
The opposition is trying hard to raise
respectable fight against him, but
the only possible show they will have
Will be through the votes of Republi-
cans Why SHOULD we aid them In
their work?'

) Constipation leads to worse. Often it is
the cause of appendicitis. Always it leads
to dangerous chronic disease. 1t should
not be neglected, nor should it be tempor-
arly relieved with drastic purgatives. Here
is case in point:
Mr.. @. s. Osterhoudt, of Barrytown, N.
Y, was distressed with indigestion, chronic
constipation and kidney trouble for four
years. He tried many medicines without
relief. He heard of Cal-cura Solvent, Dir.
Kennedy's neao medicine, used it and began
to improve rapidly. All of his old COM
plants have disappeared and he owes
everything to Cal-cura Solvent.

There is time for all things-A time to turn to the

and mourn its ''puzzle'

We come into the world for something and go out for

bear both fruit and flower
The tree and the plant stay in their places and do the

and ask to be transpaned?
If your life is empty you have made it Fill it up
Fill it up to the brim!
Asyou cannot by a thought add to your stature Meth
you by complanings change conditions.

True. But he carries his smile into
the strife of politics.
He admits that woman possesses
the weapons for politics. Would
he have that weapon rust? Does
he realize that the women Of the
country are suffering from lack of
mental occupation? Will he not
confess that the rearing of children
calls into play the spiritual and
physical, more than the mental life
of the mother?
General woman suffrage, says he,
is inexpedient.
How does he know until the ex-
pertinent proves the fact?
Mr.. Cleveland assures his readers
that women are not the only taxed
property holders from whom the
ballot is withheld. The fact re-
mains that a woman's possessions
are subject to law in the making
of which she has no part.
AHu lildI 10 lHJuotICc.
Mr.. Cleveland says: "a woman
has the inalienable right of attack
ing without being attacked"
Mr.. Cleveland is doing the latter
himself
Women do not like to feel that it
is by chivalry they live in safety.
They feel that it is by right, not
privilege, that they should progress
with civilization.
Mr.. Cleveland selects certain
western cities in which woman's
suffrage has been granted and
points out that no good results have
come from it. There is always an
upheaval and disorder before the
establishment of a great reform.
What may, according to Mr.. Cleve-
lands ideas of culture, be unsalu-
tary features, may prove, when
! judged by the broad standards Of
the great, healthy west, to be only
| the natural outgrowth of the put
ting of power in unaccustomed
hands.
Only time and thoughtful expert
ment can show us the way. Just
now we are cropping for the truth,
and who cries down our cropping,
however blind, is sitting progress
and strangling the seekers after
truth.
