From the editorial columns i,
seem, there was division in the
Republican party Of Missouri, one
wing "a led radicals, the other boilers
McClurg VS.. Brown. In 1913 the,
would be called standpatters and
Progressives. but there is not muc h
in name, f,r their tactics seemed to
be about the same then they are now
villification, abuse and gencr al cuss
edness. Here is an extract from
speech made by Col. Slower at the
courthouse, Versailles, the previous
Monday:
THAT the only true Republican
party in the State is the Regular Nc
Clurg party. and after the election il
over, and the McClurg ticket elected
by a handsome majority, those wht
stick to the boIter's party will not be
able to find on, where they stand
They will either have to come bacl
to the good old Republican party, o
lie down to sweet slumber in the laI
OF the Democratic party"

1t looked in those early rounds as

with desire to show the crowd how

Logan rather than punished him. He

A Rarsia+ent Tutor.

In 1879, when President Grevy took up his residence at the EIysee. he was investigating the shortage of accom- mediation in the palace when he was told that half of one of the stories was occupied by "a gentleman" who refus- ed to leave. The gentleman had been there for four or five years.
 Grevy went to ask him personally what his business was and learned that he was the tutor of the children of former president, Marshal Mac Mahon.
 "But the marshal ceased to be presi- dent some years ago." remarked NJ. Grcvy.

Apple Rust.

A French chemist has shown that the apple contains an oxidiz1ng ferment which produces the brownish or red dish color of cider. The manner in which this substance produces oxida- don can readily be observed by. any one who cuts an apple open and leaves 1t exposed for short time to the air. The cut surfaces gradually turn red as the oxygen of the air unftes with the 1uice-fn a word, the apple ruets. Rusttng of an apple may also be brought about by simply bruising the fruit without brea king the skin. Hv- erybody knows that apples that have fallen violently to the ground show red or rusty spots underneath the bruised rind. In this case the oxygen is derived from the air contained in the ducts or interstices among the ds- sues of the fruit, and it becomes active through the breaking eff the cells that inclose the oddizing ferment- If an apple is cooked before it's skin Is broken its tissues do not oxidize when exposed to the air. This is explained on the supposftion that the oxid1zing properties of the ferment are destroyed by heat.-Harper's.

Music In tha Home.

We are all more of less aware of the value, and indeed the necessity of fur nishing books to all children and even of making it possible for them all to see good pictures We are apt, how ever, to regard music as something that we need provide only for the ex- ceptionaI child, the child who shows signs of being what we call musical" This is due partly to the fact that mu- sic lessons are more expensive than books, and that ticket to concert costs about four times as much as a ticket to museum. Our mistake is in fancytng that costly music lessons and concerts are the only means of furnish ing musical instruction of the best kind to children Some of the finest music in the world is so simple that any mother who plays the piano at all can perform 1t for her children, and, moreover, teach them to play it them se1veS.-HOme Progress
