National Political Conventions.

In Democratic national conventions every state votes as a unit, the will of the majority determining the choice of the state delegation, the vote of two thirds of the delegates being required to nominate. IL has never been de termined whether twO-thlrds of all the delegates to the convention or two thirds of those present Is requisite. In the convention of 1884 the OppOsi- ton to Cleveland made strong efforts to breaK the unit rule.
 In Republican national conventions every delegate votes as an individual merely. and a majority vote is suti cient to nominate. The only real at tempt to introduce the unit rule, or vote by states, was made in 1880 in the interest of Grants nomination for a third term (his second term expired in 1S70. but 1t failed. These rules have been adopted by convention after convention. although their adoption by any subsequent convention is in no way assured.

Tactlsas Salesman.

The motOrcar salesman's lack of judcnaent cost hlm sale. He was trying to se' a professional man a machine. but he handed out the wrong kind of talk and "queered" the deal. Ills prospective customer had been In two or three serious motorcar acci- dents while out riding with friends and really was just bit timid about riding in a machine, although to please his family he had just about made up his mind to buy one. The motorcar man, with much gllbness and efec- tIveness. presented the various virtues of his car. Just look at the axle" he said. When you get In smashup that axle, unlike many others, will not break. but will bend and so can be re paired without much expense"
 This unfortunate argument spoiled the sale. It aroused the sense of fear which the professional man had when riding in a machine. and he told the salesman that he guessed he would not place his order for a machine at that time.-Columbu Dispatch.

One May to Crack Nuts.

No tree in Chile is more popular with the hardy youngsters than the Palma chilena. or Chilean palm. which pro duces large bushes of species Of nuts with a soft outer covering of green. When this is cut away hard shell IS revealed. resembling a miniature cocoa nut. The flavor is strikingly similar to the cocOanut. In railway carriages the schoolUoy, with a reckless disre- gard for the conventions as well as for property, finds an instrument ready at hand for breaking open the hard nuts. Without ado he proceeds to utilize the window frame. which must be brought down with considerable force to accomplish the desired results, Consequently broken panes are not un common. Besides, as one writer puts it, the railways and the glass belong to the state. the natural protector of youth"

Thousands of feeble-minded chill

these little ones die before they
reach school age. six years, and those
that grow up are weaklings. They
make a class that creates a rotten

not only unfit TO fight in the army,

they are unable TO do their share in
