The Republican party admits the

A rather queer stand for the party
to take, but they have bcou forced
to admit the shortcomings of the

of the righteousness of Democracy

unjust but iniquitous in the extreme
Any industry which is not self-sus

1t is curious why the Republican
party should place itself upon record
as favoring a revision and at tn,

should not be made until after the
next presidential election The rea
son given last year was that re

Sterne's Destitution.

Laurence Sterne, the writer. was the
victim of the intensest poverty. A lit
tie time before his death, being in a
state of restitution, he went one even
ing to borrow f5 from his friend Gar
rick. Upon arriving he heard music
and knew that a party was going on.
He heard the merry laughter and, gen.
tly replacing the uplifted knocker. re-
traced his steps.
We never feel our miSeries so keenly
as when contrasted with the joys of
others, and it is only then that we real
ize Wordsworth's picture:
And homeless near a thousand homes I
stood
And near thousand tables pinned for food.
Another story of this writer does not
evoke so much sympathy. 1t was
known that Sterne used his wife very
Ill, and in talking with Garrick one
day in fine sentimental style Of conju-
gal love and fidelity he said, 1.-The hus-
band who behaves unkindly to his
wife deserves to have his house burn
down over his head"
''If you think So" said Garrick quiet
ly, Il hope yours is well insured"

THE HEAT OF THE SUN.
Why II rs Warmer on the Plains Than
on Mountain Tops.

Why IL rs Warmer on the Plains Than
on Mountain Tops.
There Is one thing in connection with
the heat Of the sun that many people
do not understand, says the Chicago
News. Citing the well known fact that
the nearer. we get to a fire the more
we feel its heat, they ask why it is
that we find the air so much colder
on the top of high mountain than on
the plain below. On the plain the
suns rays pour down with an intensity
that causes actual suffering, while on
the mountain, three miles nearer the
source Of heat. there is perpetual snow.
a That apparent inconsistency is per.
fectly understood by those that have
given even casual study to atmos-
pheric phenomena, for it Is In the
earth's atmosphere that the cause may
be found. The suns rays impart lit
tie Of their heat to the air. 1t Is the
surface Of the earth that they warm,
and their radiation from the surface
warns the superintendent air. 1t Is
q law OF nature that all hot bodies
throw of their heat into space. The
earth throws or at night part Of the
heat that It receives from the sun
during the day. 1t would throw It OF
with almost equal facility during the
day If it were not for the atmospheric
coat that surrounds 1t. That atmos-
pheric coat may be compared to the
glass top Of q hothouse-it permits the
suns heat to enter readily, but pre-
vents 1t from escaping.
We see, therefore, why In precisely
the same latitude the heat on the plains
may be so great as to parch the vege-
tation. while on the mountain top
there may be snow and ice the whole
year around. The air is so dense on
the lower levels that free radiation of
heat from the earth's surface is i'm
possible. Therefore the lower levels
are warm. But on the mountain top
the air Is not nearly so dense, and heat
Is thrown off into space almost as fast
as 1t is received.

Most Important Wars.

Perhaps the most important wars,
from the standpoint of civilization and
progress. were, first, the Greek-Per-
sian war of 400 B. c., in which the
oriental wave was prevented from
deluging Europe; second, the struggle
between the Franks and Moors,
which ended at the battle of Tours
with the defeat of the Moors, thus saw
ing Europe from Mohammedanism and
its stagnation; third, the NapOleonic
wars, which shook up Europe, destroy
ing the remnants of feudalism and
paving the way for modern democracy,
and the American war Of 1S61-65,
which preserved the integrity Of the
great republic and so made it posi-
BILE for the United States to work out
its splendid destiny among the nations
of the earth.-New York American.

A DRESSMAKING HINT.
How to Make a Circular Skirt Hang
Well.

How to Make a Circular Skirt Hang
Well.
Ii you make your own clothes, don't
you have trouble in getting circular
skirts to hang well? Most people do.
and the secret Of a well hung skirt is
something the professional dressmaker
does not often see fit to impart to the
novice nlthe art. But here it is never.
theleSs:
If you will always remember to sag
or have sagged your circular skirts
before the lower edge is finished, your
troubles will be over, and the skirt
will be an even length all round. To
do this work of sagging, first finish
your skirt and sew it on to the belt,
of course leaving it unhemmed at the
bottom. Now put it over a skirt hang
er and hang in some place out of the
way. Now you must weigh both sides
OF the skirt. or, In other words, you
want to stretch the fullness out of the
circular part. Let these weights stay
fastened to the skirt for twenty-four
hours or longer II you have the time
to spare. When the weights are re-
moved, cut the skirt the desired length
and finish the bottom.
What does one use for weights?
The ingenious woman has no certain
things. She utilizes what Is handfest
Small iron rods are the best things to
use, but row Of heavy glass bottles
also produces the result wanted. So
use what is nearest your hand. but be
sure to have weights sufficient for the
thickness Of your material and give it
time to sag.
A skirt thus treated will rarely, II
ever, cause the wearer any further
trouble.

FOR THE TEA TABLE.

Dainty Sweet Sandwiches Latest Fad
of Up to Date Hostesses.
An ideal spot for the tea table when
one expects three or four friends is
the dra wing room. The dining room
is reserved for large afternoon teas or
when ten or more guests are expected.
All the paraphernalia for boiling the
water and making the tea should be
on the table so that the brew may be
perfectly fresh and with water of the
necessary temperature.
1t is always charming scene, even
to other women, to watch a dainty host
ess prepare tea, from the lighting Of
the alcohol lamp to the final bit Of
lemon or pouring Of cream
To a man it suggests the delightful
side of domesticity, and a clever girl
wishing to marry should never lose q
chance to let desirable party behold
her making tea-provided she does 1t
gracefully. Sandwiches of all sorts
are the best possible accompaniment to
tea. Crispy toast and little cakes come
second.
Toast Is often the most agreeable to
the taste. but it is so seldom truly hot
and is SO greasy with butter that it is
by no means an ideal thing to handle
while making a call.
{ Sweet sandwiches are new and may
be made from thin slices Of stale or
rather tough cake, having layer Of
ground or pounded nuts or nuts
pounded fine in mortar and held to
the cake by the thinnest possible layer
Of jam, marmalade or jelly.
A bit Of preserved ginger placed at
intervals on the slices before they are
laid together is delicious. Maraschino
cherries cut in quarters may also be
used.

GOOD PARL0R TRICK.
The Demon Lump of Sugar Will
Amuse the Audience.

The Demon Lump of Sugar Will
Amuse the Audience.
An audience rather enjoys a laugh
against itself sometimes, so try the
conjuring trick with the demon lump
of sugar and give it them.
Borrow two hats and place them
crowns downward on the table. Take
care to deliberately call attention to the
fact that there is nothing under either
of them.
Next demand lump of sugar-be in
Sistent that it may be one of peculiar
shape, easily recognized again by your
audience.
When you have received it, hold It
up well to public inspection and exl
plain that after having swallowed It
before their eyes you will after a very
short interval bring it under either of
the two hats, whichever your audience
may choose.
The company-all agog with your
last trick-wi1l expect some clever
sleight-of-hand and Will watch you
closely to see that there is, no hum
bugging and that you really eat and
swallow the lump of sugar.
Eat it openly before them al-crunch
it Enthusiastically, so that they may hear
you do it-and then ask with a great
show Of confidence under which hat
you shall bring the lump.
The choice having been made, place
the chosen hat with great solemnity on
your head and thus fulfill your under
taking.
Your little piece of fooling will raise
hearty laugh in the audience at their
own expense and establish a feeling
of good fellowship that will make your
other tricks go off smoothly and well.
