~ N election day you may be A Republican or a Democrat or Prohibitionist or a Socialist,
 a progressive or a conserva- tive. but before the day of voting you are only one thing-you are a fellow citizen" That's what the spellbinder calls you, and as he is a truthful man, not given to exaggeration or misstate- ment, he ought to know. He sees in you only the man behind the vote. It is his duty to see that that vote is pointed in the right direction and, by gosh, he does his best to fulfill his ob- legations.
 Now, being a thinking, reasoning, reading man you ought, no matter what are your views on public questions. to attend the political meetings of all the opposition parties so that you may ap- proach the ballot box with your mind fully made up on the incandescent questions of the tariff. the recall of judges, the initiative and referendum, the direct election of senators, direct primaries and the other issues which may form the groundwork of the pres ent presidential campaign-that is. you ought But do you? You do not. You are, speaking generally, 'sOt" in your political ways; you have inherited your politics or you have acquired them in some fortuitous way. So you do not go to hear what the fellow on the other side of the fence has to say. You at tend the meetings of your own party only. You listen to doctrines in which you have believed firmly anyway and you cheer the opponents of those doc tTines as though they were dispensing gems of thought just excavated from the political Golcondas.
 You do not need to be told that such a procedure is all wrong. You feel it yourself when you stop to think about it But. hang 1t all, what's a fellow to do? You can't spend your time lis tening to what the wrongheaded, mis- guided, unpatriotic. selfish, interested opposition has to say. So you go right on in the same old way, voting as you

 Leaving the political work out alto gether and considering it solely from the business point of view. the conduct of a presidential campaign committee is a tremendous proposition, especially of late years. It involves the creation of an executive organization quite as elaborate and complicated as that re- quired to carry on the most extensive of modern enterprises, the collection and expenditure of a sum of money so large as to require seven figures for it's expression, the selection and employ ment, directly and indirectly, of thou

Moreover, the organization of the com nittee's forces has to be effected from the ground up, and as its entire work must be accomplished in little more than four months at the outside, ev- erything has to be done under the most intense and wearing pressure.

The Alamo is owned by the state of Texas and is intrusted by law to the care of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, who named as custodian Mrs. Henry Hulme Sevier, formerly Miss Clara Driscoll of Texas. She resides now in New York, and Mrs. Sarah Eager is the present custodian. Some Texans, headed by Governor Colquitt, desire to erect on the Alamo grounds a state hall Of fame" and to park the grounds. Their movement is opposed by the Daughters, headed by Mrs. Se- vier. The ladies believe the Alamo should be preserved as it is, since 1t is impossible to restore it to its original condition. and they favor also the building of an inclosing wall in the old Spanish style. Of the original build- ings only the chapel remains.

Shapes Of the Satellites.

Photometric studies Of six Of the
principal satellites of Saturn, made by
Guthnick, indicate a confirmation Of
the previous conclusions of other OBJ
servers that several, and perhaps all,
OF these satellites behave like our
own moon in keeping always the same
side toward the planet around which
they revolve. In regard to the satel-
lite named Tethys, an interesting n.y.
pothesis is offered to account for its
very marked changes of luminosity.
The theory is that Tethys possesses
the form of a long ellipsoid, the two
principal axes of which are to one an
other in the ratio Of five to two. A
similar suggestion has been made con-
corning the shape of the asteroid
Eros, which likewise exhibits great va
riations of light, according to it's posi-
ton in it's orbit around the SUM-

What, speaking In quite unofficial

in the British village of Drumrudge
usually some 500 souls. From these
there are successfully selected, during
the French war, say thirty able-bodied
men; Dumrudge, at her own expense,
has sucked and nursed them; she
has, not without difficulty and sorrow,
fed them up to manhood and even
trained them to crafts, so that one can
weave, another build, another ham
mer, and the weakest can stand under
thirty stone avoirdupois. Neverthe.
less, amid much weeping and swear
Ing, they are selected, all dressed in
red, and shipped away at the public

say only to the south of Spain, and
fed there till wanted. And now to
that same spot are some thirty SINH

sixty-t1ve miles northwest of Honolulu,
and has a volcano of it's own near
Kalao, but now extinct. Down one
side of this lava-coated volcanic noun
tain rushes the Kopaa, a deep, wide
stream of delightfully."- clear, cool wa
ter. Half way in it's rapid descent it
takes a leap of twenty feet over a
lava cliff, and, pouring downward with
accelerated speed, ea.pties into a pool
fifteen feet deep and fifty feet wide.
For fifty feet above tke pool the wa
ter has cut deep channel in the lava,
with floor as smooth as glass.
Down the curves Of this natural
chute the bather slides swiftly to the
pool below. So steep is the chute and
so rapid the descent that it is only
q second after the bather launches
himself into the stream from a natural
platform Of lava above before he
plunges into the crystal pool at the
bottom. Visitors to Honolulu go all
the way to Kauai to enjoy the Kopaa

More than seventy million acres are
annually put under rice in India, and
samples of all the varieties produced
have recently been analysed in Eng

it is too glutinous to be boiled in the
ordinary way. This difficulty is avoid
ed by boiling it in bamboo tubes, and
after being thus prepared it is left in
the tubes to be eaten cold, especially
by travellers. When the rice is eaten
the bamboo is peeled off and long
roll of rice appears, which forms an
excellent substitute for bread.-Harp-
