Cause Of Ocean Tides,

Tides are caused by the gravita-
tional attraction or pull of the sun
and moon upon the water, and upon
the earth itself. The moon being SO
much nearer than the sun, is, of
course. the principal cause. When
the moon is directly over a given
place 1t pulls the water under 1t, and
thus tends to keep up a tidal wave
just under the moon. At the same
time it is pulling the earth itself; but
1t pulls the water more than the earth
underneath. simply because the moon
is nearer to the water on the surface
than it is to the solid earth behind It.

Similarity Of Day and Lifetime

Life for a day is but an epitome of
lifetime. We wake in the morning
with no knowledge of where our souls
have been wandering while the senses
slept; with fresh vigor and interest
We enter upon the occupations of our
daily work and fulfil our duties with
an energy that begins to fail as the
evening shadows lengthen; as dark
ness deepens WEAKNESS comes upon
us and at last we are glad to lay aside
our work and cares and to surrender
ourselves to the sleep that spirits our
souls back again into the unknown.

Let Us Deal With 1905 First.

To some of the persons who are
booming him for the presidential can
didacy of 1908, Speaker Cannon re-
turned this answer: "rhe congress
sional campaign Of 1905 must be a
united effort on the part of all re-
publicans, and there must not be in
jected into it the personal ambi-
tons Of any man. We must not
only elect the next House, but we
must conclude the next session of
this congress in manner satisfac-
tory to the majority of the people,
1t would be wise for us all to attend
70 the work Immediately in hand,
which covers proper legislation by
Congress, before we enter upon the
work of selecting presidential can
didate." These are wise words, and
they are made especially effective by
Mr.. Cannon's notice to the boomers
that he would rather do his work
we'll as Speaker Of the House, and
help to bring the greatest good to
the greatest number of the people
than to be President"
Two years will pass before the
delegates begin to be chosen to the
next presidential nominating con-
vention. Only six months away
from us however, is the election of
the popular branch of the next Con
gress. Some of the candidates for
Congress have been nominated al
ready. One of the states, Oregon,
will elect its delegation to Congress
FIVE weeks hence. Two other states,
Vermont and Main, will choose their
representatives to the popular
chamber of that body in September.
Within few months 3S6 members
will be elected to the House and
Legislatures will be chosen which
will fill many seats in the Senate.
This canvass is upon us, and gives
us something else to think of than
to be specializing on the chances of
any particular aspirant in conven-
tion which is more than two years
ahead of us. The present session of
Congress may last two months yet.
Speaker Cannon, the other day, said
there was prospect that Congress
would be- compelled to keep at work
until July or August. The Senate
is behind in its action on the appro-
priation bills. There are more than
dozen of these regular money bills
OF the government, aud all of them
will have to be attended to before
Congress can go home.
1t will be well for Republicans to
remember that hard canvass is i'm
mediatsly ahead of them, with which
neither presidential nomination nor
any other remote distractions should
be allowed to interfere. The enthus-
issm Of 1904 can not be repeated in
1905. Necessarily the aggregate
vote will be smaller this year than it
was two years ago. Fewer persons
will take an interest in the election
of a Congress than were excited
about the choice of President.

THIRTEEN DIVORCES
Present Court Must Near Marital Difficulties
Of That Many Couples and Pass
Upon Their Merits,

The scheme once proposed by a
marrying squire" Of printing a di-
yorco permit on the back OF all mas
riage licenses, might have saved the
present term Of court a great deal of
work---ahd some entertainment. Tho
idea of the old squire was that II
The license side proved unsausfac-
tory, the ooAtractSg parties could
return the document and by ylr.
tue OF the reverse side of the pa
per he would dissolve the partner
ship. He expected, Of course, to
build up a god business by these
accommodations accorded the marry
ing public, because his experience
taught him that divorced people arc
the most likely Of all to marry again
and the chances were that separated
couples, having selected each a new
spouse. would return TO him for the
necessary documents, thereby maxi
ing two fees where before there had
been but one. tt
However, that may be, the old
sources enterprising scheme does
not yet prevail in Texas and the
present term of the district court is
confronted with the necessity OF
passing on the marital difficulties Of
thirteen couples who on ono side or
both, are extremely anxious to get
rid Of their particular variety OF
matrimonial harness. DISCRETION is
