The nomination of John w. Kern
 for the vice presidency, man whom it is said, is liked by everybody, adds strength to the democratic ticket. This is admitted on all sides, even
 though the candidate has not been successful heretofore in all his polit- ! ical battles. He Is fighter and q
 good lawyer and does not hesitate to attack malefactors whenever and
 wherever he finds them. He is very acceptable to Bryan, perhaps it was the presidential candidate who made possible his nomination. At any rate he will make a good run ming mate for the head of the ticket It is said of Kern that he is an eX- Cellent talker and campaigner, and will take off his coat at once and set
 to work for Bryan, Kern and vic tory. The west and south will be
 the great battle field, and if one of the eastern states is captured in the ! meantime, the victory will be all the easier and more complete, It is very evident that Bryan intends to make the fight of his life this time, for if defeated he will hardly try it again, and he promises not to if he is elected. If the country will stand h-- hTrpn
 there will be no question about the
 result. And although there is an occasional democrat thac thinks Bryan has come too often, those who want to see him elected far outnum-
 Der them, and with the votes that
 will go to him on account of the dis satisfaction among certain republi
 cans in Connecticut it would not be surprising to see the nutmeg state go back where it belongs next fall. in the, democratic column. The Lil- ley-Lake-Woodruff row is more seri- ous than appears on the surface, and if the former, backed by the ma chine, gets the nomination. the people may not obey the whip as meekly as in former years. AL though Colonel Osborne is fighting the nomination of Congressman Lil- ley there are many democrats that hope to see him nominated, for they feel that he will be the easiest re- publican to beat. It would be well for Bryan, Kern and the democratic managers generally to keep an eye on Connecticut. IL may be a good field to put extra work in during the campaign now approaching.

So far the public does not appear very much concerned in the national election, but they will get to 1t later on. IL is certain that there is a de- sire for a change. and no wonder: but even at that it would not excite much surprise if the oily tongued orators should succeed in talking people into the belief that times are good and that if many are not able to get the 'necessaries of life things will be worse in case tIe other fel- lows should win out.

 'Logic-The ability to to think logically and to formulate thoughts and express them in a convincing manner is almost exclusively an in heritance from the father.
 " Among a hundred sons of scien- tific men, or men who achieved fame as mathematicians, twenty-four in- herited ability for scientific work. Concerning the daughters of such men, the percentage was only four teen. All the rest of the girls were either without ability for scientific pursuits or too indolent to make use of their talents.
 ''As to mothers: Mothers scien- tifically inclined almost invariably transfer their love for mental pur- suits to their sons, who are unusual ly bright. having a peculiar aptitude for study The girls do not profit by their mothers wisdom or love of wisdom.

 "A mother inclined to sport, par ticularly the chase, will have sons and daughters equally inclined. It is very important that mother be neat and clean in every way. as any deficiency in that line on her part is inherited by the children.
