Some Political History.

Hamilton, in his revelations. has re- called some entertaining political history in connection with the defeat In the Sem ate of William B. Hornblower for the United States supreme bench years ago. Formerly Hornblower was counsel for the New York Life and 1t was he that approved the $35,000 year pension that the company gave President Beers to re- sign. Hamilton upset the pension in the courts and since then he and Hornblower have been enemies. Among other things he says of Hornblower
 Along in Mir. Cleveland's second term MT. Hornblower concluded that the ju- dicial ermine would suit him and got Mir Mccall to interest himself for him The result was that MT. Cleveland sent MT Hornblower's name to the Senate to fill vacancy upon the bench of the supreme court of the United States. It was ap- parent that the hostility of Senator David B. Hill would defeat Mir Horn blowers ambition unless something could be done to induce the senator to change his course
 MT. Mccall called me into his office and said that he was anxious that MT Horn blower be confirmed, and asked me if I would not go to Senator Hill. who was warm friend of mine, as well as of Mir Mccall. and plead with him to withdraw his opposition. I consented. and that nlRnt saw lne senator Tn hlS home in Washington.
 "Mr. Hill said he did not approve of MT, Hornblower and drew an accurate pen picture of the man. I told him Mir Mccall was pledged to MT Hornbower and that we were both anxious that the nomination be confirmed. At length Sen ator Hill said
 "'Well, I don't like Hornblower the party don't like him. but he will be con- firmed if he will keep his tongue still He has been bitter in invective against our friends. If he agrees not to open his mouth again until the confirmation takes place he will be seated
 Immediately MT Hornblower conceived the idea that he had inspired fear in the breast of Senator Hill, and said he was sure to be confirmed in spite of Hill. He left our presence and launched right out into more abuse of Senator Hill and lost his seat upon the supreme court bench"

Hot Water for Baby

The Medical Magazine tells us that,
in cases where there Is non-assimila-
tion Of food, accompanied by vomiting
purging and even convulsions, physi-
clans recommend giving a child all
the hot (not so hot as to burn) water
it will take through a nursing bottle.
In one case, where no kind of nour-
ishment could be retained and medi-
cine had apparently no effect, the hot
water treatment was tried. The first
bottlefui was Immediately yomitei up,
but the second was retained, and a
peaceful sleep followed, the condition
OF the bowels greatly improved and
the vomiting gradually ceased. At
the end of twenty-four hours a teas
spoonful each of sweet cream, lime
water and boiled water was given
every hour; then preparation of egg
and water, and finally the usual CON
densed milk For collie in young chill
dren, bottle of hot water is often
a quick cure. Care must be taken
not to have the water too hot, but 1t
must be quite warm.

A Foolish Superstition

The world Is full of superstition,
and one of the worst is that the opal
is "unlucky." This superstition arose
when the black death" swept Eur
ope. At that time the opal was very
unpopular, and some noticed that
when victim of the disease was
dying the opal on the finger bright
ened and when he was dead it became
dull. OF course, this took the popular
fancy, and at once opals became "un-
lucky" and have remained so ever
since Very likely they do not change
at all on the fingers of dying person,
and the whole matter is like that ques-
tion which once caused so much dis
cussion in the scientific world, |. e.,
Why is it that when you put a fish
in bowl of water the weight of the
bowl Is not increased. Many learned
answers were given, but finally one
duffer weighed bowl of water with
and without the fish in it, and thus
settled the matter.--Kansas City

Medicinal Value Of Salt

We see salt so frequently-seve
times a day-in common use in the
kitchen, etc, that many do not suffi-
ciently appreciate it as being of a
high medicinal value; but ther cal
remedial uses go a long way toward
the preservation of health in homes.
It's judicious use as dentrifice is
reliable-gums are kept hard and ones
breath purely sweet. Warm salted
water held in the mouth often ban
ishes toothache; anyhow, 1t makes the
sore affiction easier to bear When
other domestic remedies fail, make a
bit of cotton in it and insert in the
cavity of an "old archer" and instant
relief will most likely be afforded.
Neuralgia pains are fought with
small flannel bags filled with salt,
thoroughly heated and applied to the
afflicted part. Salt bags placed, quite
hot, at the feet are exceptionally good,
some think better than hot water
bags. Salt used in case of bleeding
following the extraction of tooth
will prevent further trouble that way;
and for a throat gargle, warm water
and diluted salt is simple and excel
lent every time. If taken in due
season, many serious throat ailments
may be cured If the gargling is kept
up every hour or half hour. as the need
requires. Simple sore throat Is RENE
died by wrapping about the neck a
flannel cloth wrung out of salted wa
ter. Salt and tepid water makes a
right handy emetic.
As an antidote for polson-silver
nitrate or lunar caustic-give salt and
water freely. For alcohol poisoning.
an emetic OF warm salt and water
given frequently Is recommended. For
those who cannot eat apples often II
might be we'll to try eating them with
a little salt sprlnkled on them: also
