The Donkey Kicking Up His Heels


years the Democrats celebrated yes
terday. Not that the day was the
anniversary of the battle OF New
Orleans. That significance was lost
in the later-day inauguration of a
Democrat to be governor of the stall
wart, protection-b bound, Republican
State OF Ohio. Such Democrats as
still survive in Washington-and the
number is larger than one might
think-wore broad smiles. II was,
indeed, their gala day
No one who crosses the horizon
of our thought will begrudge them
their brief satisfaction. They have
fought so manfully, those Demo-
Gratis, their principles have been so
sound. they have been so honest in
following their traditional four-footed
guide that the whole country wishes
they might win oftener. Up in
Greater New York, IL has been Tam
many, or Mcclellan, or Jerome that
has won-not the Donkey. In Phil
adelphia, reform was more a Re
publican achievement than Demo-
cratic, and, though a Democrat was
elected State treasurer, that seems
to have been done on the theory
that he was the only man proposed
who could be trusted, not because
he was a disciple of jefferson and
believed with Mr.. Dooley in home
rule. Even in Ohio the new governor
was the only Demoe.a, who sue
ceeded. His associates on the ticket
have been left as much out in the
cold as ever they were.
So, We say, let the day of Demo-
cratic rejoicing be unclouded There
is much to admire in the Donkey
and when. once in a while. he beats
his foes TO the bars IL is not for
the others in the pasture TO deny
him his moment of freshness. Who
knows lit may fit him all the bet
ter TO haul the heavy load at which,
just now. the Elephant seems max
ing ready to shy.

Keep In Good Health.

There are many thousands of peo
pie all over the world who can at
tribute their good health to taking one
of two Brandreth's Pills every night.
These pills cleanse the stomach and
bowels, stimulate the kidneys and
liver and purify the blood. They are
the same fine laxative tonic pills your
grandparents used, and being purely
vegetable they are adapted to children
and old people, as well as those in
the vigor of manhood and womanhood.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over century and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

NEW YEARS CALLS.
A New Drink to Replace the oId-Time
"Apple-Jack."

Twenty-Five years ago the custom of
making New Years calls was a de-
lightful one for all concerned, until
some of the boys got more "egg-nog"
or "apple-j jack" than they could sue
cessfully carry.
Then the ladies tried to be charit-
able and the gentlemen tried to be
as chivalrous as ever and stand up at
the same time.
If anyone thinks there has not been
considerable improvement made in the
last quarter of a century in the use
of alcoohlic beverages, let him stop
to consider, among other things, the
fact that the old custom of New Years
calls and the genteel tippling is nearly
obsolete.
The custom of calling on ones
friends, however, at the beginning of
the new year, is good habit, and an
other good habit to start at that time
is the use of well-made Postum in
stead of coffee or spirits.
A Staten Island doctor has a SEN
sible daughter who has set Postum
before her guests as a good thing to
drink at Yule Tide, and a good way
to begin the New Year. Her father
writes:
''My daughter and I have used
Postum for some time past, and we
feel sure it contains wholesome food
material.
'T shall not only recommend 1t to
my patients, but my daughter will be
most pleased to give a demonstration
of Postum to our Christmas and New
Years callers" Read "The Road to
WelIville" in pkgs. There's reason"

Uses of Masks.

among the North American Indians
the origin of the use of masks lay"
says a writer, 'in the desire to con-
ceal the emotions. Thus should two
warriors meet in combat, the mask
conceals any expression, whether of
sympathy, fear or other emotion. For
instance, the knowledge that fear was
depicted on ones face and that his an
tagonist knew it would very possibly
insure the defeat of the one whose
feelings were betrayed to the other"

Mix Soap With DOUGH.

From a communication read to the

seems that continental bakers are in
the habit of mixing soap with their

nice and light. The quantity of soap
varies greatly. In fancy articles like
waffles and fritters it is much larger
than in bread.
