THE
wifely confidence of Mrs. Griffith,
of Ohio, is an example to other wives. She said of that feather, Mr. Griffith, "All the world cannot force him to change his decision." Mr. G., with the fixity of a wheel on an axle, flopped four times in six days, between Hanna and the antis.

was a man in New York who
lived in a house about three feet wide, in which he got room enough to turn around by running out bow-windows and cribbing space from the public sidewalks. Now he is dead and his fortune of thirty millions has shrunk until it is no wider than his house.
Eastern savings banks will reduce their rate of interest on deposits to 3 and 3% per cent. Gold dollars will not draw any more than any other dollars. It will be noticed that the class of people which has money to lend and is favorable to gold now gets about one-third of the interest that was paid thirty years ago.

IT IS
THE
wrangles and scandals which so
often arise when senators are elected by state assemblies will serve to make more popular the idea of electing senators by popular vote. There are weighty constitutional arguments against it but when, as now, a senator can bo elected to represent a great state by the vote of one renegade, who represents no principle or constituency, a higher law than constitutions dictates a reformation.

America is mistress of the iron and steel trade of the world, and the great Lake Superior iron fields dominate all others. Many years ago the wise Abram Hewitt predicted that the production of American ore would reach 15,000,000 tons in 1000 and 25,000,000 tons in teu years more. The trade of 1808 will take 15,000,000 tons of the ore from the lake regions, which began only about forty years ago to supply a few hundred tons a year. The most surprising conquest of the century has been this displacement of Great Britain as the ironmaster of the world, not only by the richness of mines but by superior and more enterprising methods, as the old country falls far behind in the capacity and ingenuity of its plants and its transportation systems. The most accurate gauge of power aud prosperity is the state of the iron and steel business, and it stands now at high-water mark in America.
OFTEN
Mm
in the early evening, one can
see, at our public library, swarms of small boys who are looking over the* papers or selecting books. There may be occasion for comment upon the manner and matter of their selections but the general tendency of the habit of reading aud of the opportunities so freely offered to the children is for good only. Free access to a supply of books, that can be divided into classes as good and harmless,, will keep young minds too busy to be tempted by something worse. Dean Farrar said lately, "Many and many a time a good book read by a boy has been the direct source of all his future success." Benjamin Franklin said that a tattered little book of "Essays to do good," by Cotton Mather, road when he was a boy, influenced the whole course of his conduct, and if he had been of any use the public owed it all to that little book. If the world owes the usefulness of Franklin's life to Cotton
Mather it can almost forget Mather's fanaticism in the. witchcraft days, or if any library supplied that book it had sufficient reason for its existence if it had done no other good thing. So, with our library, if there is only an occasional boy that is positively aided it will be well to encourage the swarm of careless little fellows, for some of them are not nearly as careless as they seem.'
IT
is an old story that Washington when voting against a personal friend once said, "I vote for principles not men." Principles are not disturbing the Ohio legislators who are sacrificing party, personal honor and reputation to their jealousy and resentment. The question of Mr. Hanna's ability and Republican principles does not enter into the opposition to him. It would be more agreeable if the opposition was based upon some well-founded objection to his moral or political principles but his enemies are not rising so high.
THE
"criminal of the century," as he
has been termed, Theodore Durrant, the San Francisco man who was convicted of the murder in a church there of two young women, early in 1895, was hanged at San Quentin penitentiary yesterday morning. Four times he had been sentenced to hang, and three times had the intricate machinery of the law been used to save his neck. The last time it did not avail, and although an effort was made at Washington by his attorneys to secure an order from the supreme court of the United States that would act as a stay of his execution, it was refused. He died like a brave man, protesting his innocence to the last. It may have been true that he was guilty of the terrible crimes charged against him, but it does not seem possible that a guilty man could die so bravely and go to his last judgment with afoul lie on his lips. His conviction was secured by -circumstantial evidence, and strong as it seemed many believe that public sentiment, rather than the evidence, hanged him. His case will be a notable one in the criminal annals of the century.
THE

ened the Indiana delegation in congress by his speech on Wednesday, and doubtless has intensified the opposition to civil-serv-ice in its present status. His allusion to the "tambourine players and serpentine dancers who went crazy over the cross of gold and crowd of thorns" was but one of many sarcasms.
said that the Salvation Booths have no right to inflict their family quarrels upon the readers of the public press. The remark implies that the Booths seize the defenseless reporters, tear off their earmuffs and pour into unwilling ears the tales of domestic quarrels, but that is not the way they get into the papers. The fact is that the Salvation Army and the Booths are among the staple subjects for gossip.

British house of lords is the principal bulwark, over there, of aristocratic and caste privileges, but it recently made a decision on an appeal from the courts below which was in favor of the trades unions in admitting their right to work or not work. The judgment, written by the leading law lords, was another example of the power and impartiality of English common law. One of the most interesting developments in the Anglo-Saxon history has been the growth of the common law and the corresponding growth of liberty and rise of the common people. It has been the one power greater than monarch or nobles. A fine example of the indepence of the courts, over 400 years old, was the punishment of Prince Hal, the roistering companion of Falstaff, for contempt of court, and it was not the last. We have the same common law in this country and though judges and courts may seem to fail at tithes, in the long run common law and equity measure out even-handed justice to high and low, rich and poor, provided that we do not lose sight of a principle laid down in a fine sentence in the decision referred to above. The English judge says: "Liberty is never in greater danger than when a tribunal is urged to restrict liberty of action because the manner in which it has been exercised in a particular instance may be distasteful."
Little Attentions.
Evil is wrought by want of thought As well as by want of heart. If husbands only realized what the little attentions mean to their wives, there would be many happier unions. It is not the cost of a gift that makes it precious to the recipient. A tiny bnnch of violets brought home at night betokens the thought given to her even while business occupies his attention the most trifling souvenir of a wedding or birthday anniversary becomes a sentiment underlying its proffering. Women may be foolish, they may be all heart and very little reason, but the man who understands their nature and caters to it is the one who stands higher in their estimation than the one who acts-as though all they cared about was material comfort given with any sort of brusquerie.
Of course there are many mercenary women—thousands and thousands who can marry for a home and for rich raiment. These poohpooh the violets and value only the diamonds. But the average feminine heart, the sort which a man wants to beat beside his own, the foundation of truest sympathy and love, is moved more by the little attentions in which sentiment is involved than by the great offerings representing only a stupendous sum of money involved.—New York Ledger.
Don't be Hopeless and Discouraged. You need not be discouraged and lose hope just because local doctors have failed to cure you. It is only the specialist in such complaints who can cure you. Dr. Greene, 148 State street, Chicago, 111., the most noted and successful physician in curing disease, can be consulted by letter free. His experience is enormous, he has cured many cases like yours through letter correspondence. He can cure you. Write to him without delay. Remember it costs nothing to get his opinion and advice in regard to your case.

They were two old pioneers of upper Michigan entertaining the gullible resorters. "When I first came to this region," said the veteran who owns a log cabin, a flatboat and a turnip patch, "we had a good deal of trouble with bears. They'd come sniffin round the shanty at night, and you could go out any mnmin and lay in a stock of bear beef. 'Bout the best luck I ever had was one fall when I was pokin about just beyant the clearin. I was shovin a bullet home with an iron ramrod when I see a she bear and three cubs comin toward me. They see me at the same time, and all went up in a row on their hind legs. Of course I was naturally excited and banged away. When the smoke cleared there was them four bears strung on that ramrod, and there wasn't a good kick left in none of 'em."
The other entertainer looked troubled for a few seconds, but soon rallied and looked as honest as an owl. "Hank," he began, "you mus'recaleck that red cow of mine. There was the beatinest critter I ever see. She could ketch more fish than airy a man in the settlement. She wasn't no expense 'cause she could steal a livin the year round. She could pick a lock with her horns, and ole Jim Clay ter swears he see her climb a tree after a black bear once. I won't make no affidavy to that, but I know she used to bring in bear reg'ler. She could do more with them horng of hern than any man could with a rifle. Wasn't 6he a corker, Hank?" "I hain't spinnin this here yarn, Lige," declared the other pioneer, who was plainly jealous, "but the only cow you ever owned siftce you come up here was a mooley

Altitude and Phthisis.,]
I have spent considerable time in traveling in the Catskills, Adirondacks and the Rocky mountains, investigating with some care these localities, with their varying altitudes above sea level and their influence upon the lungs, and, while perhaps a high and dry and lighter air may be beneficial in some diseases and for its influence upon the general health, I do not believe that it has the slightest effect upon the growth an proliferation of the tubercle bacillus itself. In this opinion I am heartily confirmed by the judgment of many able and careful practitioners with whom I have most earnestly conversed, and I repeat that altitude has no influence whatever in destroying the tubercle bacillus.
A considerable experience with this disease has led me to believe that no place is better for its treatment than New York city. Patients have come to me from every state in the Union, from Canada, from the Sandwich Islands and from Europe, and it appears to be the
Simate
sneral belief a!mong them all that the of New York city, with its clear air and bright sunshine, is quite as favorable under iill circumstances as is that of most other localities. I have under my care at this time patients from several towns in Colorado, from New Mexico and California, and all are doing better in this city than in their own localities.—Dr. Hubbard Winslow Mitchell in New York Medical Record.
leprosy*
Leprosy is an exclusively human disease. It is not inoculable to animals. It is never of spontaneous origin, but is invariably derived from the lesions or secretions of a person similarly diseased. Its development in a country previously exempt from the disease may always be traced to its importation in the person of a leper from an infected center. We know nothing definitely of the mode of infection or the channels of entrance through which the bacillus gains access to the organism—whether by direct contact, by inhalation or imbibition of the germs or by other intermediaries. Observation proves conclusively that every leper is a possible source of danger to all with whom he may come into intimate and prolonged contact.—Dr. Prince A. Morrow in North American Review.
He Favored the Idea,
"My dear," he said as he laid down the paper, "you ought to read that address by Mrs. Mouser, the eminent leoturer, on woman's work. She says that whenever a wife gets angry she should stop and carefully consider the matter for ten minutes before saying a word to her husband. That's a grand idea, "ggg "It is» eh? "I consider it so." "And where will you be when I begin talking?" "Oh, I don't know-—somewhere down town, I presume, but don't
