Why is the Ocean Salt.

The Creator made the ocean salt
to save the land from putrefaction.
The winds blow everything often
sive and postilential (as far as we al
low them to DO the work Of boards
Of health) out to sea, where all hum
ors are absorbed by the hungry was
ers. Salt is a purifying agent. The
ocean is a great manufacturer. It
converts every thing foul Into health
making ozone and hands it back to
US without charge. No government
label is necessary. Stand on the
Prov OF a ship for three hours a
day, deep breathing like an athlete,
and your lungs will be cleaned Of
everything poisonous, your blood
will leap through veins and arteries,
your heartwill be obliged to thump
with renewed force. The tide is
the oceans tongue. It comes in
twice day to lick up the foul things
Of the earth and convey them to the
oceans stomach, where these are di-
gested salted down, cured and rem
dered pure again.

Grand Army Wiped Out.

The Pittsburg Gazette-Times says
one Of the greatest Of American ar
mics has been wiped out. annih!lat-
cd, swept away. It numbered more
than a million, and was engaged in
defensive and offensive warfare
against aud enemy more insidious
than the Japaness. Although none
OF this host, not even the leaders,
had been trained at West Point,
their strategy and tactics were un-
surpassed by the most efficient reg
ular troops. Now this splendid
fighting force has been Utterly de-
stroyed. Less than $4,000 were killed
at Waterloo and $4,000 at Leipsic so
that those famous battles can not be
compared with the destruction Of
this splendid American army. One
million robins are a military unit Of
great fighting pbwer, able to COM
bat and overcome vast hordes Of in,
sect enemies. Now this magnificent
corps Of cur nations defenders is
routed by ruthless pothunters, and
our fields are left unprotected, ex-
sposed to the ravages of pests that
fly and crawl. South Carolina fines
any one who kills a member Of this
grand army five dollars. This fact
should be remembered by ali sports
men as well as pot hunters.

Chinese Worship Of Stone Animals

Francis H. Nichols in his journey
through the Chinese province Of
sbozssi saw q temple where stone AMI.
mails were wershipped. He says: "In
rowD Of aeavily barred brick cages
ere stone images ot animals. They
ere all life-size and are remarkably
well executed. Among them are ele-
plants. tigers. and monkeys, whose
ecu'ptors must have secured their
models a long distance from Shens:.
where the originals are not found.
The stone animals stand for the
Buddhist idea Of reincarnation. They
are Worshipped as sacred and are
supposed, In a vague way to be en-
dowed with life. It is to prevent
them from escaping and running away
from their worshiprers that the cages
have wooden bars in front Of them.
Between the two temples was pond
where fish were fonged, or set at lib
erty. In its workings the system
Of longing animals has very much the
effect OF a humane society on the
western side Of the world. On the
theory that any Of the brute creation
may be the dwelling place Of the soul
Of former human being, lame and
Mck animals become the care of the
priests; in some Of the larger tenn
pies special provision is made for
caring for the SICK cats and dogs.
TO fong an animal Of any kind is
considered 81 acs CT suDrer"e virtue.

man will sometimes purchase live
1dsh and have priest foDg it. This is

served for the purpose near the tom

A Spanish Marriage Custom.

In some parts OF Spain the marriage
ceremony has one feature peculiar to
itself-that Of the yelacioue. During
the mass said after the marriage eere-
mony the couple. with their godfather
and godmother. kneel at the foot Of the
altar. A silken cord is thrown around
the neck Of the bride, and the bride
groom holds the ends Of it Then .
long strip Of silk cloth is thrown over
the heads Of the newly married pair.
and four lighted wax candles are hand.
ed, one to the bride, one TO the groom.
one to the godfather and one to the
godmother, who stand to the couple
In much the same relation that best
man and maid Of honor do with US I'D.
der the same circumstances. Then the
priest sprinkles all four with holy wa
ter. besSes them. and the ceremony 10
over. a Spanish woman does not con.
slider herself thoroughly married with

States His Position.

In response to q question asked
by 8 representative Of the Philsdel-
phia Telegraph, Mr.. Bryan said:
eff the voters Of the democratic
party want another than myself
nominated at Denver they ought to
instruct their delegates to that ef-
feet. If they want me nominated
they ought to instruct their delegates
for me. 1t is not matter to be de-
cided by me or by any small faction
Of the democratic voters. It is for
the majority Of voters to determine.
In November last, to stop the
Interpretations that were going
about as to what might or might
not do, and as to the conditions un-
der which might or might not be a
candidate, stated that would not
ask for a nomination, but that |
would bea candidate if it was the
desire Of the democratic party that
I should be. Believing that IN par
ties, as in popular government. au-
thority comes up to the official from
the people. I believe that voters as
they gather in their communities
should express themselves on party
principles and candidates and then
select delegates in harmony with
their ideas. Instructions are dem
o.ratic because the delegate has no
,;aority except as he receives in
S.. ions from the voters; and
the Gc.Agate ought to say that which
the Vol, $ want said" This is
frank ope. statement from Mr.. Bry-
an as to his :,..sition in reference to
the president!a! nomination. 1t Ger
tainly shows that he is not trying to
dictate to the party but is willing to
accept any candidate a majority Of
the party sees fit to name.

The Pace.

There can be 40 question about one
thing said a man who does not take
kindly to the hurry-up. strenuous ter
dency OF the time. and that is the
fact that We hurry our children along
the highway Of life at a too rapid
pace. In your day and mine children
were not so wise. They cid not push
them so much at school. AS YOU
know. they did not begin the serious
studies Of life so soon. But now
well, the idea is aptly put in a bit Of
verse which l found recently in q
South African paper. Here is the way
it runs:
Hurry the baby as fast as you can.
Hurry him. worry him. make him a
man;
OF with his baby clothes. get him in
pants.
Feed him on brain foods and make
him advance:
Hustle him. soon as he's able TO walk.
Into a grammar school, cram him with
talk;
Fill his poor head full of figures and
facts,
Keep on jammins them in till i;
cracks.

viz, personal liberty, inyiolability Of

bottle tipped over and some OF the
carerpillars escaped into the scieD-
lists garden and presently stocked It
with gypsy moths. To catch them
and their descendants the Bay State
has since spent about million dol
lars of public money. They have cost
it many million dollar besides IN
damages. The old method Of fight
ing them was to find and destroy the
cocoons. The State finally gave that
up. much 70 the regret Of many Of its
citizens. The bugs have since in
creased very much and carried de-
strucrion into the woods. 1t is now
proposed to fight these pests IN the
latest fashion by breeding parasites
which will attack them. That method
is recommended by Mr.. kroebelc, OF
Alameda, Cal, who tried it success.
fully in that State for white scale.
The Massachusetts Fore Assocla-
ton favors the experiment. which Will
not cost much. and Mr.. koebele Will
doubtless be invited to bring his para.
sites TO Massachusetts and sick them

in this experiment. because Massa-

How to Clean Sroazes.

as the polish is very easily spoiled. but
if necessary nothing is better than
cleaning them with water and am
monia, using a stiff brush like nail
brush. Dry carefully after rinsinG
thoroughly. They should be carefully
busted every day with soft cloth and
a feather brush. and little sweet oil
may be rubbed on occasionally. To re-
move stains from bronze make the
article very hot by dipping it III boiling
water. Then rub it with piece OF
lannel dipped in suds made from vel
low soap, rubbing clean with soft linen
cloths.
