What does it mean that throe United Staten wmat th are now under indictment on various charges? What does it mena that a federal judge must answer to impeachment for alleged derelictions of duty? What does it mean that a man, after being selected as the caucus nominee for senator from a West crn state, has failed of election by reason of gross irregularities in his campaign methods? What does it mean that a republican legislature in another Western state seated the i democratic contestant for the guber ; natorial chair, unheeding the repub lioan governor’s cry of fraud, when it was seen that both were guilty ?i What does it mean that scores of! men are being fined and imprisoned in one of our staes for ]>artici]»ating in election frauds? What does it mean that young men like Deneen, Folk, LaFollette and Hanly are elec ted to governorships, running on platforms of reform? What does it | mean that from the legislative halls ; of many states there is now going up a protest axgainst the operations of lobbyists? The answer is as clear as day. There is a growing demand for bet.er politics, city, state and national. The fact that here is such an insistent demand for better things from so many quarters is proof that things have reached a bid pass in many places, and also that the .situation is far from hopeless, for as long as evil is uncovered and reform demanded there is every reason to believe that a better state of things is on the way.

“FOUNtr Odd N#ik« in Prominent Southern Pnper M Interetl to hecnlur Reildenh. One of the be«l known newapapon in the south i« the "Guide" of Dunn of N. C. Its publisher, J. P. Pittman, sends us the following clipping with request to publish: "Found. By th* editor of the Guide, a bottle of Hyomei, the won tierful treatment that cure* catarrh without stomach dosing. We can speak in highest praise of iln remarkable power to cure and relieve catarrh of the head and throat. This mention is made not us an advertisement, but in the interest of those who suffer the torture of that terrible dis nn*,'-atarrh.' In maiding the clipping. Hr. Pit man wrote the following letter “I enclose a little piece from my paper, issued today. You will see from this that I desire to push the selling of Hyomei as far as possible. I am using it in my own family and find that it gives the desired relief, so I take pleasure in spreading far and near the knowledge of this sure >elief for catArrh.” The Hoithouse Drug Co., in preparation for the catarrhal troubles of this season of the year, have ordered a large stock of Hyomei. ami sell it under guarantee to refund the money if it does not relieve The complete outfit costs but SI, and extra bottles can b« obtained for 50 cents. Ask The Holthouse Drug Co. to show you the strong guarantee under which they sell it. This remarkable remedy medicate* the air you breathe, soothing and healing the mucous membrance of the air passages, and making a com plete cure of the worst case of catarrh. Their Ex-raalve Grief. Lord Brampton related that once while he was plain John Hawkins he defended a man for wife murder. The prisoner's two children, dressed in black and sobbing violently, were in court, and their grief and the lawyer's ■ eloquent speech combined to acquit the defendant. That evening nt dinner he met an old inhabitant of the neighborhood. who complimented him upon bis speech. •‘However.” he added, “I think that if you bad seen what I did wbeu driving past the prisoner’s cottage last week you would not have painted the home in such giowing colors. The little children who sobbed so violently in court this morning and to whom you made such pathetic reference were playing on an asb heap near their cottage, and they had a poor cat with a string round its neck swinging backward and forward, and as they did so they sang: •This is the way poor daddy will go. This Is the way poor daddy will go! “Such, Mr. Hawkins, was the.r excessive grief.” HrnKnime* Sit|»er«tltlon«. Among the Bengalese It is said that shouting the name of the king of birds (garunda) drives away snakes. Shouting "■Ram: Ram!” drives away ghosts. Cholera that attacks on Monl day or Saturday always proves fatal. Cholera that attacks on Thursday nev- | er ends fatally. The flowering of the I baml>oo means famine. In fanning if the tun strike the body It should lie instantly knocked three times against the ground. When giving alms the giver and receiver should both be on the same side of the threshold. It is bad to pick one’s teeth with the nails. . If a snake lie killed It should immediately be burned, for all serpents that are so unwise as to permit of having their lives taken are inhabited by the souls of Brahmans, which hope thus to escape and work mischief. The words "snake” and "tiger” should never be used after nightfall. Call them "creepers" and “Insects." Never awaken a sleeping physician. Morning dreams always come true. 'Uomrn Nlrvm lu Piilmt ine. In Palestine the mother of men Is the servant of men. Being a part of the household chattels, she is sold for as large a sum ns her father can extort from the prospective bridegroom. She is a thing, a piece of goods. The father of a firstborn son proudly calls himself after the boy's name, but his girl babe is not reckoned among his children. Her infant shoulders learn to beur the burdens. Her little feet patter their way to the fountain even from the moment their tiny strength can support the weight of the jar. Her whole life is one of grinding, baking, fetching water, waiting upon others. At twelve she is sold into married service. Growing old in middle life, she may see herself supplanted by a younger wife, often being robbed of Jier sons by the military conscription.' and finally she is put away as the last breath is leaving her body.—Corwin Knapp Linson in Metropolitan Magazine. Tree. W hich C«u>e Headache. A curious member of the vegetable kingdom has been discovered in the far east. It is a species of acacia Which grows to a height of about eight feet and when full grown closes its leaves together In curls each day at sunset and curls Its twigs in the form of a plgtuil. After the tree has settled itself In this way for a night’s sleep, like most sleepers, it objects to being disturbed. If touched it will flutter as if agitated and impatient nt the interruption of its slumbers. The oftener the foliage is molested the more violent becomes the shaking of the branches, and at length the tree emits a nauseating odor, which If Inhaled for a few mo- | ments will cause a violent headache. t
