Parcel Post.

In my last annual message / COM
mended the postmaster general 3
recommendation FOR an extension OF the
parcel post on the rural routes. The
establishment OF a local parcel post on
rural routes would be to the mutual
beneht OF the farmer and the country
storekeepcr and IT is desirable that the
routes serving more than 5000, 600
people, should be utilized to the fullest
practicable extent.

With three exceptions. every state
committee that has met has endorsed
Mr. Bryan and has asked it's members
to urge that the convention instruct
for him. The exceptions are the
state of Minnesota. in which the
friends of Mr. Bryan expect to get a
majority of the delegates for him; the
state of New York, which never in
structs, and the state of Pennsylya-
mia, which is doubtful" This state
ment was made by President New
man of the District of Columbia DEM

by number of other cordial endorse
ments of the great Nebraskan, voiced
by members OF congress and Others
prominent in the party councils. If
the sentiment in Washington is any
criterion, says one writer, Mr. Bryan
will have an easy time of IL in Denver

for other candidates, no one of them

The Venezuelan situation, which has
long been serious, now appears immi-
nent. This country has forborne, be-
cause of the weakness of the little
bandit despotism Of which Castro is
the head and front, but is it probable
that before congress adjourns, the
president will be empowered to take
such steps in his Judgment may be
necessary to bring the Venezuelan
government to sense of it's response
bility. 1t is probable that the course
pursued will be to blockade the Ven
ezuelan ports and possibly to land
small army in Venezuelan soil. A
large army would scarcely be required.
That country has long been the seat
of revolutions, and an invading army
would probably be assisted by insur-
gents opposed to the autocratic gov
eminent.

The majority OF congress is much
worried by the spectre of tariff re-
vision. The sentiment of the country
in favor Of taking steps looking
toward revision is most pronounced.
This sentiment is making it very hard
for the stand patters TO stand pat.
Speaker Cannon has felt the demand
for revision at an early day, and is
hedging 10y the introduction Of two
resolutions. one Of these calling UP the
paper trust; and the other asking OF
the department Of commerce and labor
what steps have hecn taken to in
yestigatiEg this trust. The object
doubtless is to attract attention from
the proposal that the duty on wocd
pulp and paper he repealed. The
party in power is. OF course. afraid
TO take the risk Of opening uD the
whole tariff question through the con
sideration of a bill aimed AZ the pulp
and paT~r monopoly They are
afraid that should such a bill come up.

Used support from Kentucky, Michi-
gan and other states of the central
west AS matter of party policy,
says one good democrat, it would be
folly to turn the convention at Dem
yer into a ratification meeting for
Mr. Bryan unless after consultation
he is thought to be the most avail
able candidate. Already more than
enough delegates are assured, they
declare, to prevent the necessary
two-thirds vote, and that no nomi-
nation will be made without free
and full consultation with delegates
from the necessary doubtful states,
1t is we'll to remember the facts that
the democratic party must face at
the election, and then consider who
can best lead the democracy to over
come them. There are in the cleo
toral college 4S3 votes, including
those of Oklahoma. OF these only
166 are counted as certain for the
democratic candidate, while it takes
242 to elect; so that the democrats
must gain rs electoral votes or lose. j
Who can get those rs indispensable
votes? That is the practical ques- !
ton.

II Is proof positive that they do not

Mrs. Scanlon, has all the best OF the

In disposition and in temperament.
Mrs. Scanlon hits obesity cures hard
blow by thus declaring that to be hap
Dy women must be fat
"The reason is plain" declares Mrs.
scanlon. The wives OF the successful
men are fat because they are not wor-
rled about the next months rent ana

ance; women who complain because
they are stout make themselves UNI

distinctly useful &C string prop" TO en-
able the violinist to play simultaneous
~ on three strings OF his instrument,
whereas heretofore IT has been posi-
BILE for him to play sustained chords OF
two notes only at time. Thus the do
minion Of the king OF Instruments
win be extended into the realm Of har-
mony as well as OF melody.
The new device itself is a email
wedge-shaped piece OF bridge wood In
serted on the violin bridge under the
@ string. It's dimensions. while de-
pendent TO some extent on the height Of
the bridge on the particular violin On
which II Is to be used and the chsrao-
ter Of the music to be played. are ordi-
narily as follows: Thickness. 3-64 OF
an inch: length, g of an inch; width,
3-1e Of an inch or slightly less The
hypothenuse of the prop Is curved 20
ct smoothly on the bridge Of the vio-
lin. and notch for the G string Is also
made. To erect the device on the violin
Is an easy matter, It being only neces-
sary 10 turn down the G string about
tone. to insert the prop underneath
and then to tune up the string with
care. In effect It becomes componens
part OF the bridge itself, but It can al
WAYS be easily removed.
This method Of elevating the @ JUST
enough 10 be sounded simultaneously
with the d and A strings takes away
the mechanical obstacle that Ole Bull
managed TO overcome by means Of fiax
bridge and his remarkable tours de
force. but which no other viollnist has
attempted to cope with
That this method OF playing is en-
firely novel Is evidenced by the facf
that all works on orchestration have
stated that sustained chords on the Fio-
lin are restricted to two notes and thar
three and four voiced chords must be
played as arpezgios- But a new and
beautiful effect Is now placed az the
command Of the violinist, although II Ia
true that there are few compositions in
which use has been made Of the poss-
blllties OF writing beautiful chords on
the three lower strings OF the violin.
De Beriot has a notable passage in his

for future composers Of music for tina
