A MEMORY OF M'KlNLEY.
The One Perfectly Cool and Serene
Man in Washington During
Campaign of 1900.

During August and September pre-
ceding the political campaign which
resulted in Mr.. McKinley's reelection,
| was in the United States, writes An.
drew White, in Chapters from My
Diplomatic Life" in Century. 1t was
the hottest summer in very many
years, and certainly, within my whole
experience, there had been no torrid
heat like that during my visits to
Washington. Nearly every one seemed
Frustrated by it. Going to the white
house to pay my respects to the presl-
dent, l found him the one mar in
Washington perfectly cool, serene and
unaffected by the burning heat or by
the pressure of public affairs. AL
though matters in Cuba, in Porto Rico,
in the Philippines, in China and in the
political campaign then going on must
have been constantly in his mind, he
had plenty of time, seemed to take
trouble about nothing, and kept me in
his office for a full hour, discussing
calmly the various phases Of the stu
alton as they were affected by matters
in Germany.
His discussion Of public affairs
showed the same quiet insight and
strength which I had recognized in
him when we first met in 1884, as del
egates at the Chicago national onven
ton. One thing during this Washing
ton interview struck me especially. /
asked him If he was to make any adj
dresses during the campaign. He an
swered: "No; several Of my friends
have urged me to do SO, but I shall
not. / intend to return to what seems
to me the better policy Of the earlier
presidents. The American people have
my administration before them; they
have ample material for judging it,
and with them I shall silently leave
the whole matter" He said this in a
perfectly simple, quiet way, which
showed that he meant what he said.
At the time l regretted his decision;
but = soon became clear that he was
tight.

Guing through the hospitals in our
large cities one is surprised to find such
a large proportion of the patients lying
on those snow-white beds women
and girls, who are either awaiting
or recovering from serious opera
tons.
Why should this be the case? Sim
ply because they have neglected them
selves. Ovarian and womb troubles
are certainly on the increase among
the women of this country-they creep
upon them unawares, but every n of
those patients in the hospital beds had
plenty of warning in that bearing
down feeling, pain at left or right of
the womb, ervou exhaustion, pain in
the small of the back, leucorrh9a, dir
illness, fatulency, displacements of the
womb or irregularities. All of these
symptoms are indications of an un-
healthy condition of the ovaries or
womb, and if not needed the penalty
has to be paid by a dangerous operation.
When these symptoms manifest them
selves, do not drag along until you are
obliged to go to the hospital and sub
NIT to an operation but remember
that Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved thousands of
women from surgical operations
When women are troubled with ir-
regular, suppressed or painful menstru-
alton, weakness, leucorrhga, displace-
ment or liberation of the womb, that
bearing-down feeling, Inflammation OF
the ovaries, backache, bloating Tor fiat

and nervous prostration, or are beset
with such symptoms as dizziness, lassi'
tude, excitability, irritability, nervous,

UNIQUE Hanging Basket.

Nothing, in its line, can exceed in
beauty or attractiveness a sponge bas-
ket. Procure a large, coarse sponge,
wet it thoroughly with warm soft wa
ter, then press it gently to expel the
greater part of the water. Into the
damp openings of the sponge push
seeds of millet, barley, grass, oats, rice
and clover. 1t is now ready to be hung
up in a sunny window; and If this is
kept moist for a week, tiny shoots will
begin to appear ere long. A beautiful
green foliage will cover this basket on
all sides and fall down in q most
fascinating manner. II carefully sprin-
killed. the clover will bloom, and al
though 1t may not be a "jos forever
1t will certainly be "a thing Of beau
ty."-Woman's Magazine.

wANDERINos OF ANIMALS.
Rats Are the Most Migratory of ALL
Race of Jennings with
Death.

The fable of the country mouse and
the town mouse has Accumulation in fact.
Mice occasionally migrate in large num-
bers when food grows scarce and travel
considerable distances to fresh houses.
Farmers in a part of Perthshire, says
London Answers, had a good reason to
become aware of this fact, when, a
couple of years ago, vast swarms of mice
invaded their cornfields at harvest time.
But the mouse only travels when it
has to. The rat, on the contrary, seems
to take a yearly outing, in very much the
same fashion as do human beings. Rats
are the most migratory creatures in the
world. Whole troops of rats leave the
towns at the end of summer and spend
q month or two in the country, apparent
ly in order to enjoy the change of food
which the country affords at that time
OF the year in the way Of fresh fruit n
grain. Before the cold weather sets in
they are all back in their old quarters.
Reindeer migrate with the same reg
ularity as swallows. They south
when winter sets in, but as soon as ever
the snow begins to melt they travel
steadily north, sometimes for as much as
a thousand miles.
To end a holiday by deliberate suicide
is so strange a phenomenon that for a
long time naturalists looked upon the
stories of the migration of the Jennings
as an improbable fiction. Yet the facts
are beyond dispute. At regular inter-
walls these rat-like creatures start out
from their homes in the Businesses OF
northern Scandinavia in huge droves,
numbering tens of thousands, AMI
travel steadily southwark. Death pur-
sues them in a hundred forms. Hawks
and other birds of prey hover above
them. Foxes, wolves and man deci-
mate them. Thousands are drowned
in rivers. Yet the rest struggle on I'M
til they reach the sea. They do not
stop. They plunge in, swim out and
struggle on, until at last their strength
fails and they drown. Not n eve re-
turns from this journey of death.

THE GURLER MILK PAIL.

tached can readily be seen. The absor-
bent cotton is spread between two lay
efs of gauze, and the whole is attached
by catching over the hooks on the cover.
The pail is emptied through the covered
spout, SO that it is not opened until the
milking is completed. The expense for
gauze and cotton is slight, and these
should be used fresh every milking. At
the same time it must be distinctly I'M
derstood that this is not a lazy or shift
less mans pail. 1t is not built to re-
lieve from any obligation resting on the
dairyman, but is one of the essential
steps toward clean, sweet, pure milk, to
be observed along with each and every
other if a high-class product is desired.
Cows must be brushed, udders kept
clean, tie-ups made healthy and good,
sound food provided, and if anyone is
neglected the pail can surely have no
place, for it accompanies those steps of
th%oroughness which give Mr.. Gurler and
a few others national regulations and
success in the production of sanitary
milk. By all mean get the pail and
milk through absorbent cotton, but let
this be only the measure of neatness
manifest at every step. When we reach
this standard of dairy work the poor
cream will be eliminated, barn odors
will disappear, filth will not be found in
the separators, and a better demand and
higher prices will be realized by the in
dividual producers. In the cry now
going up for pure food products the first
step is to guard the milk supply, if for
no other reason than that it plays such
an important part in saving the lives of
the little ones.

THE WHEEL OF A
Odd Happenings Such as Come tt
Many Persons in Course
of Life.

"a queer thing happened to me the
other day." said a well-known lawyer,
relates the Indianapolis News. 81 had
got out of a street car in North Illinois
street and started to walk east to my
house, when | noticed something bright
in the grass at the edge of the side
walk. At first thought it was simply
a bit of worthless metal, but as it ap-
peared to be something different |
picked it up. 1t was a lady's locket,
with chain attached. 1t vas IL of the
double kind, and when l opened it ]
was astonished to see my wife's pic
ture. For an instant l wondered who
vas carrying my wife's picture around,
but when l opened the other side there
was my own picture. Then | recognized
the locket as one | had given my wife,
and it was engraved with the date.
When / reached home l held it up and
she shouted for joy. She had lost it two
days before, but had said nothing about
it. Hundreds of persons must have
passed 1t, and it seemed queer that l
should be the finder"
That reminds me of a strange lit
tie happening" said another member
Of the party. "a few days ago as / was
walking III, Pennsylvania street a man
passed me, riding rapidly on a bicycle.
When he was 20 or 30 yards ahead | saw
something fall from his pocket, but he
was out of hearing before | could hail
him. When | picked the package up |
found it was wrapped in colored paper
of a peculiar kind and contained ten dol
lars worth Of two-cent postage stamps
in sheets. l left it at a nearby drug
store, with an explanation. The next
day I stopped there to get a cigar and
the druggist said: Your stamps found
their owner. A man came in here last
evening to buy some postage stamps and
said he had been unfortunate enough to
lose a big bunch Of them during the
afternoon. | asked him how it hap
pened and he said they fell out Of his
pocket as he was riding up street on
his wheel. asked him how the package
was wrapped and he described it so ac-
curately that l at once handed it over
to him. You never saw a mar SO sur
.prised.'"
