The stand-patters at Wash,

comes a Democratic victory in
the Rochester, N. Y. district
which for the preceding years
had gone Republican by a big

Men, Women and-Clothes.

A true man is known by his unfaith-
fulness-to fashion. A true woman is
known By the way she wears her
clothes. She is not to be thought of
as separable from them. OF the many
illusions wherewith veritable womEn
wells herself from really, truly man,
none is more Enthusiastically femi-
nine than this one, that she hath for

Fresh Air for Children.

to expose it to their influence. which

ment and health
"A child few weeks old, If suitably
dressed, may be taken out of doors
for little while each day and the
time may be heightened as it's
strength increases. The habit of daily
exercise in the open air will lay the
foundation for good constitution and
the liability of taking cold will be
greatly lessened."

POLICING the Air.

1.-THE recent seizure of Mix, the
American, and his balloon by Russian
troops after he had landed on Russian
territory in the international race for
the James Gordon Bennett cup. is in
dicative of the jealousy with which
European powers guard their from
tiers from attempts of possible foreign
spies to pass them" writes r. B.
Kidd. in Harper's Weekly. Although
there is no specific provision in the
American statutes that would seem to
cover this question so far as
an aircraft, lowering now about our
military reservations. or Notifications,
or navy yard is concerned. the au-
thorities could and undoubtedly would
take summary action. If it were
deemed necessary"

The widespread interest in
the war against tuberculosis is
one of the hopeful signs of the
times. The scourge of the white
plague" carries off thousands of
victims yearly and there is no
question but that the suffering
and mortality which it entails
can be greatlyalleviated 1t means
much for the civilization of the
twentieth century when preach
ers throw open their houses of
worship, as was done through
out the state last Sunday, for
the discussion of the causes of
the disease and the remedies for
it's alienation. Truly, the
world is advancing, despite the
wailings of the pessimists.

Electricity In Rain.

From observations at Simla, India.
Dr. G. G. Simpson has concluded that
more than three times as much posi-
tive as negative electricity is brought
down by rain, and that the positive
electricity of snow is still greater, be-
ing perhaps four times as much as
the negative. Light rain is more
heavily charged than heavy rain, but
the heavier the rainfall the more like
ly it is to be positively charged. These
results were hardly expected, as mega
tive electricity seems to be always
passing into the air from the earth.

Under the Surface.

There is sentimental side hidden
away down deep in many men, which
only rarely is apparent on the surface.
Kipling's imperturbable, inscrutable
magnate, with his hard face that was
like an iron mask to his competitors,
could be shaken like flag in the wind
by his emotions when his only child

forever. There is not one of us who
has not some hidden spring which.
when touched. can shatter in an eye.

laborious pretense of cold indifference

of being fireman of the first locomo-

JUSTICE HUGHES

Hon. Charles E. Hughes,
governor of New York, has ac-
copied the appointment of JUS
tice of the supreme court of the
United States to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Justice
Brewer. This is mighty good
news. Mr.. Hughes is one of
the big men of country and dur
ing his incumbency of the Office
of governor of the great Empire
state he has at all times stood
for clean politics, honest business
principles and the rights of the
people. 1t is a distinct gain for
good government when a man
of the Hughes stripe takes a
life position on the highest trib-
unal of the land. His appoint
ment is welcomed by every
good citizen, and will do much
to strengthen the faith of the
people in an administration
which has not been any too
popular. President Taft de-
serves great credit and the thank
Of the people for making the
appointment. Mr.. Hughes will
assume his new Duties at the
close of his present term as gov
ernOr.

Superstition OF Chinese.

The Chinese are superstitious peo-
pie, and think 1t bounden duty to
keep the body intact. and II by any
misfortune they are compelled to lose
a limb by amputation they invariably
ask for the severed member and keep
it in box Sometimes they will actu-
ally eat it, thinking it only right that
that which has been taken from the
body should be returned to it. On this
same principle an extracted tooth will
be carefully preserved or ground to

Three Kinds of Lightning.

Three kinds of lightning-sheet,
globular and bead-are pointed out by
Prof. Elihu Thompson as subjects for
the enterprising investigator Sheet
lightning is a momentary glow or
fash without sound, usually in down
pour of rain. In globular lightning
the ball may be an inch or a foot or
more in diameter; it floats in the air
or moves slowly on the ground, and
usually disappears in an explosion In
bead lightning, the discharge appears
as festoon of oval beads. The phe.
nomena seem really to occur. but they
are rare and mysterious. and have
never been explained.
