HAIR REMOvERS

The eXtrava CANT claims recently

by the skin. The very fact that you

There is only one logical and scien-
tif1c way to remove hair. and that is
by means of a liquid containing sol
uble ingredients which can be absorbed
by the skin De Miracle, known all the
world over as the only real SuperfluOus
hair remover, is just such prepara-
tion. It is easily and quickly absorbed.

Chinese Progress.

Apropos of the proposed decree abo1-
ishlng the wearing of the queue in
China, it is interesting to note that at
the banquet recently rendered TO Sec
rotary of War Dickinson in Picking 10y
AmericaniZed Chinese students many
of the Chinese gentlemen present ap-
peared, rot only without queues but in
the conventional evening dress of the
Occident- There was q time, not very
long ago, when such reversion to the
custom of the foreign devils' would
have sufficed to cause riot and blood
shed. The change wrought in the
meantime is marvellous, and the great
est marvel is not that the advanced
Chinaman of the period has come to
assimilate western civilization, but that
the mass of the Chinese people has be-
gun to be emancipated from prejudices
that formerly constituted practically a
part of their religion. Undoubtedly in
accepting the notion that the Chinese
are slow moving race, imperyious to
the logic of progress, that people has
been singularly misjudged. Tt is a
question of g. reform movement, in
volving the sacrifice of hoary tradi-
tons never before advanced so rapidly
as the present movement for the social
and intellectual as well as political re-
generation Of China is advancing

THE AMBITIOUS PUPIL

There is a great deal of pride taken
in the ambitious pupil, and the thought
that this is the one pupil who needs
checking does not occur until it is too
late.
American Medicine, in an appeal
against oFerwork of children in the
public schools, says that in many cities
the nervous child is moving parents
and physicians to cry for fewer hours
of study and less pressure.
Eye strain is an evil that American
Medicine bitterly protests against.
School children in spectacles are be-
coming alarmfngly common. Mind
strain may not show itself so plainly
on the exterior, but is there any rea-
son to doubt that it is any less COM
mon than the other? Certainly it is
more serious in it's ultimate results.
There is one thing which should
never be lost sight of, and that is that
health stands first, and that a healthy
mind is seldom developed in an un-
healthy body. Physical fatigue is less
TO be feared than mental fatigue; and
it is the modification of failure which
leads to child suicide, which is be-
coming alarmingly common. 1t is a
great mistake to crowd sensitive chill
dren; and we are never mindful of the
possibility of a tragedy until 1t is too
late. The good health of every child
should be the first aim-all else is sec

THE PEANUT STATE.

Virginia is the peanut state of tho
union, and the Richmond Times Des-
patch feels that the peanut is one of
the states most dependable products,
for, it says, $50 long as the American
people have sense enough to consume
$36,000.0O0 worth of peanuts per an
mum, real poverty win never come to
the south side OF old Virginia"
Concerning the merits of this
Fround-nut, the Times Despatch says
further:
From the standpoint of economy
and gastronomy, the peanut is the
hammer bearer of all that class of food
which the human being has eaten
from the time that some 'quadruma-
nous, arboreal. hairy ancestor swung
from the treetops of Africa until this
day end year of silk hats, automobiles
and predigested breakfast foods.
Even so, the peanut deserves the
prize, for three hundred and fifty of
them can be bought for ten cents, and,
when bought, 1876 per cent. goes for
food, while only 26.4 is waste, and
the edible portion 80 per cent. is fat
forming No wonder then, that this
modest nut when cooked, candied,
ssFted, sugared, and sold, reaches the
enormous value of s9s,oOO,00O"
According to this, it costs the aver
age American family $1.67 1-2 a year
for it's peanuts; and the peanut is met
everywhere except in the meeting

WHAT A MuGWuMP is.

It was Ex-Governor Waller of New
London, who first classified and named
the political mugwumP; but a real
good definition has always been want
ed; and now a Kansas man in defin-
ing the republican insurgents has sent
one to the Toledo Blade which is good
enough to be preserved in Bartlett's
Dictionary of America nisms, from
which the word mugwump is still
missing. He says:
IAN insurgent is a direct descend
ant of the old time mugwQmp, who
was, compared with true party man,
the orn'riest critter on Gods green
earth. He was nothing with the pith
punched out. He was q busted gun,
without lock, stock or barrel. He was
a steer too lean for beef, too weak to
work, and too poor for the hogs to
follow him. He was something that
God Almighty made on an off day out
of a job lot of dirt. He did not have
lime, sand hair or principle to mix
him with He had an angleWorm for
a backbone and nothing for a liver
This voice from Ka<sas tells us
what the mugwump is and has start
ed a smile that will spread all over
New England In the wet sections it
would not be surprising if some Of
the regulars took smile upon it.

REPuBLicANIsM WEST.

with making the strongest platform

| ism of Lincoln that has been made in
| the country.

CALI; it pledges the party to the cause
of home rule for cities; it favors ma
jority nominations and it demands
public records of legislative commit
tees, particularly the votes of its
members.
The welfare Of those who labor is
sought by this platform. Steps look
ing to collective cooperation in order
to reduce the cost of living; industrial
insurance based upon the liability of
employers; the investigation of occu-
pa tional diseases; the protection of
women and children against excess
sive hours of labor and to protect all
workers against unwholesome condi-
tons of labor; the eradication of the
tenement house evil, and other meas
ures of the kind are strongly urged.
The platform is described as ae-
excessively progressive in the interest
of the people and the party. It will
find plenty of endorsers in the east.
