A Spartan Father.

Recently drst year high school pu- pill handed her history teacher what she evidently considered an exhaustive and final study of Lacedaemonian GUS toms. In 1t she stated that one Spar tan habit of strengthening youth was to compel the boys to sleep always on beds and thistles.
 The incident reminds one of story that is told of one of the Camerons of Lochiel.
 The chief, when bivouacking with his son in the snow, noticed that the lad had rolled up snowfall to make pillow. He thereupon rose and kick ed it away, saying sternly. No ef- feminacy, boy?-Youth's Companion.

A Fairly Good Appetite.

Kaffirs, North American Indians and the fat boy in "Pickwick" may we'll be quoted as fearful examples of vo- racity, but even their grastronomic feats are exceeded by the full grown Eskimo, who will daily eat twenty pounds of flesh and oil if he has the chance, while on the authority of Ad- miral Saritcheff a Yakut of Siberia has been known to consume in twenty-four hours ''the hind quarter of large OK. twenty pounds of fat and quantity of melted butter for his drink"

Attempt to Change Issues.

The Republican Campaign text
book for the present Congressional
campaign tries to change the para
mount tariff issue to the general rer-
ord of the Republican party during
close of the Civil War. AS the vot-
ers have determined that the enor-
nous increase in the cost Of living
is the real issue with them, and gen
orally believe that Republican Leg
islation has produced high prices,
the attempted change Of issues Is
not to be wondered at. Not that
the campaign book makers promise
to further reform the tariff, except
as far as the letter of the F. es denI
explains his plan for piecenleal re
vision of some schedules, for the
|.Aldrich-Payne tariff law is approved
as ''the best tariff law ever enacted
by the Republican party Whas
the Republicans will have to explain
on the stump, is the lack Of legisla-
ton that would have reduced high
prices, and the fact that the stand
patters, Aldrich Cannon, Payne,
Sherman and those who voted with
them are conducting the campaign,
and that not one insurgent Republi-
can who voted to reduce the tariff
law has been called to take part III
the campaign.

A Curious Fact.

1t is a curious fact that mos news
papers have a tendency to exasee"-
ate. A, very cor"mon fosm Of this
falling is seen in the esti.1:.:es civ
en- on the size of crowds that saL,:a''
at out door celebrations. A con-
course of 1000 is easily estimated
at twice that figure, so vivid is the
imagination Of the reporter. ~ the
same fault is seen along other lines
also. A $4,000 house is said to cost

every minute A person suffering
from severe cold is threatened
with pneumonia" and mild case OF
scarletina easily grows into actual
scarlet fever Of the most malignant
type. And so it goes until the re-
flecting mind has to discount almost
every statement anywhere fdom 20
to so per cent. In fact so general is
the habit that if a newspaper with
a strict regard for the facts should
state the acual number present at a
mass meeting or the real value Of a
house or Of anything else, in all
probability its statement would men
tally be cut down and no credit be
given it for telling the facts. The
whole trouble arises from the crav-
ing to make things look as big as
possible.

the miners, wherein most every one
will rejoice as it is generally admit
ted that the men were not getting a
fair return for their labor. The pity
of it is that a long strike of FIVE
months, involving much distress and
Inconvenience, was necessary to bring
about the desired end. 1t will not al
ways be needful to use such blum
dering weapons as strikes and lock-
outs. A more humane sentiment re-
cognizing what is right between man
and man will ultimately find a SOL
vent and bring about more cordial
relations between labor and capital.
The one redeeming feature about he
recent strike was the quiet self-re-
straint of the miners who were gull

Should Get Together.

It is a good deal Of an innovation
to have labor representatives preach
labor doctrine from the pulpits OF
Christian churches but this was done
on a recent Sunday in Chicago. Not
unlikely good may result from it.
Churches have complained that labor
is not sympathetic with their work
and that as a general thing working
men do not attend church. On the
other hand the. workingmen retort
that the churches are not "sympa-
thetic with them, that employers OF
labor guilty of extortion and OF un-
Just dealings with their men are
prominent church members, and that
ministers, as a class, are subserVlent
to men of wealth.
The laboring men claim that as a
general thing the preachers in the
large cities are arrayed on the side
of capital in all labor troubles, and
that the laboring men get very lit
tile sympathy from them or the menl-
bers of their churches, many of whom
are stockholders in the corporations
|. with whom the laboring men may be
iat yariances in demands for better
hours or for better. pay. Feeling this
way. the laboring man stays away
from the services of the sanctuary,
soon he loses all interest in spiritual
things, and gives up the church en-
tirely.
I While there is doubtless consider
able truth in the charges made by
both sides it is very probable that
conditions are not nearly so bad as
represented. What is needed is a
better understanding between the
church and labor. and the OCCASION
al admission of labor speakers to the
pulpits of churches may tend to clear
the atmosphere AMI promote that un-
derstanding. And certainly what
ever cleavage there may be, if any,
between the two bodies the fact
looms out large that the great
Founder of Christianity was a car
penter and that he loved and loves
the common people, and sympathises
with them.

Nearly q Clean Sweep.

The Democrats of Maine won a
notable victory In the election inSthat.
state ion Tuesday. q They elected
Frederick w. Plaisted, true blue
Democrat GoTerno;;, and elected
Democratic Congressman in at least
two Of the four congressional dis
tricts Of the State. The result in
the other congressional districts were
in doubt Monday night, but later re-
turns gave them to the Republicans.
Then, too, the complexion of the leg
islature was in doubt for several
hours, but the official count shows
that the Democrats control 1t by
small majority.
This is a glorious victory for the
people, and shows that they will Nd
longer allow themselves to be made
to do the bidding of the corrupt poll
iticians who have been ruling this
country for the last fifty years ior
the benel t of the monied inter
ests. The result surprised the stand
pat Republicans. Governor Fernald,
who was defeated for reelection, IN
concedinge the election o. his Demo-
cratic opponent, said he"did not un-
derstand why the vote should take
such a sudden change in all parts OF
the State. !"
A dispatch from Portland on Tues.
day night said "the Republican lead
ers as a rule were at loss to ac-
count for their Overwhelming de-
feat" The dispatch went on to say
that "close political observers, now
ever, heard mutterings not loud but
deep. The so-called old guard had
to stand a lot Of patty criticism and
even the leaders were out of har-
mony with new element which had
begun to manifest itself, especially in
the western part Of the State. 1t

But, as the dispatch went on to
say, the farmers had been Absorbing
ideas out Of the State as in 1t, and
refused to be longer led by the nose
for the benefit of the protected'lnter-
ests. So, instead of going to the
polls and voting blindly as they had
been doing in favor of the RepuDil-
can protective tariff, they went to
the polls and voted for their own in
terests by electing tariff reform DEM
ocrats to Congress. Sensible farm
ers! They have been voting to give
others the right to rob them long
enough, and we are glad to see that
they have at last refused to be fool
ed longer. The result in Maine has
a deep significance, and the Maine
idea will spread to other States.
