No wonder the New York Democracy is proud. + + If Germany is not careful Gen. Firmin will declare war against her. The Maori women of New Zealand do not kiss but rub noses. There is a large field for missions in New Zealand. If schoolmaster Bryan does not stop whipping his boys for every little in fraction of his rules, they will all turn truant. + + It would be interesting to know if Col. Watlerson'a nurse put chile satise in his bottle, or powered him with cay enne instead of talcum. The Bureau of Engraving and Paint ing is now working over time to supply the small notes required by the flourish ing condition of the country. Some of the Democratic campaign leaders are permitting their enthusiasm to carry them beyond }he boundary of common sense and to the very verge of anarchy. +• + Sensible men will give the adminis tration an opportunity to test the Sher man anti-trust law in the courts before they pass judgment on the law or de mand more drastic measures. 4- + 4 + American occupation of Cuba is vin dicated by the sanitary condition of Havana, if by nothing else. The death rate there is now about what it is in the larger cities of this continent. + t The Commissioners ofthe District of Columbia think they have solved the fuel problem They expect to heat the public schools by firing thefurances with alternate layers of soft coal and coak. t + The diplomats at Washington do more than protect the interests of their countries by negotiation with our gov ernment. Not the least of their duties is to influence the American press in their favor. As long as Willie Hohenzoilern is al lowed to play with his tin soldiers the peace of Europe will be reasonably 3afe. Willie would make an awful muss if he did not iiave some outlet for his superfluous energies. t t The friends of the "plain people" generally manage to gather a few plain dollars. Henry George made money in real estate, Sames K. Jones loves the round bale cotton trust and William J, Bryan's gospel is not delivered without money and without price. Sixty-three deaths have oceured as the result of accidents in the Alps this season. If you will climb mountains always take a guide, a rope, an alpen stock, an ice pick, and insurance policy and your common sense. You may omit all of these except the last, t t A Philadelpbian says the recovery of King Edward was due to "absent treat ment" which ho gave the king. We recommend "absent treatment,, at the polls to the Democrats as a cure for the evils that afflict that unfortunate party The Labor Problem. The workiugmen know the ad vantage of present industrial oppor tunities, and whatever may be the differences on matters of wages or the relations between labor and capital in determiningan equitable ratio of the products of labor and the proceeds of capital, the men whose capital is labor, know very well that this is an economic and not a political question, and that they have nothing to expect from a party which has been laboring we might say from the beginning of the (Jovernment, certainly from the be ginning of economical legislation, to destroy the wagejearning'chances of our people by opening our markets to the manufactures of the pauper paid labor of England and the continent of Europe, byjneans of free trade. Look at the conditions as we find them by official reports. It is shown that injjl'ennsylvania alone there are over a half million more persons at work at this moment than at the close of the last Demo cratic administration. §1.50 a day (the wages will average higher) we have §7f>o,ooo J# a day more than when these would be trust exterminators were voted out of control by the people. The voters of Pennsylvania by j£ these official figures now enjoy earnings of over two hundred and a quarter millions more inj Republican 1902 than they did in Democratic IS9(>. The labor problem is one of the questions growing out of labor con ditions brought about by*the mar velous expansion of our national industrial energy to meet the re quirements of the enormously en larged markets for our manufactur ed products. If we look back over our nation al history we find great problems have had their day and the Ameri can people have settled them wisely. The questions of organized capi tal as well as of organized labor must be met and met intelligently and so they will be by the Republi can party in control and by no other means. 11 is safe to say that Pennsylva nia will set the pace of Republican ascendancy not only in an off-year campaign but in the national contest of 1904 which will be the most momentous in our national history for the reason that as a supreme world power we shall have ques tions of commerce and industry of world-wide significance to meet. Letter to L. K. Huntington. Emporium, Pa. Dear Sir: Porterhouse, eo much; neck, BO much; all the way between. Just so with paint. Devoo lead and zinc is the porterhouse. Nobody wants the neck; the between, some say, is good enough for them. But Devoe costs less, not more, than between. Lead and oil is between; it is the old-fashion paint. But zinc has come in. Zinc toughens white lead. Devoe lead and zinc is the paint. If you paint in three years, you do it for looks. Devoe does not wear out in three years. S3 P. W. DEVOE & Co. P. S.— Murry & Coppersmith sell our paint. Why is it that Mr. Bryan is so per sistently unhappy in his quotation of Scripture? He says: "There were more righteous men in Sodom and Go morrah than there are tariff reformers in the Republican party." Did it ever occur to Mr. Bryan that the Democratic party has looked like the destroyed cities of the plain ever since hecensum mated the unholy alliance between Democracy and populism..

The of Mfrcy iim Kirri'lard b> the lloiuuii. Oresar traveled with tLit- retinue of n man of rank, and 011 his way to Rhodes he fell iti with an adventure which may be something more than legend. When he was crossing the •.-Egeun, his vessel is said to have been taken by pirates. They carried him to I'harmacusa, an island off tlx* Cu rtail coast, which was then in their pos session, and there he was detained for six weeks with three of his attendants, while the rest «>f ids servants were sent to the nearest Roman station to raise his ransom. The pirafes treated hini with polite ness. He jtiiueil in their sports, played games with tlieni, looked into their habits and amused himself with them as well as lie could, frankly telling them at the same time that they would be hanged. The ransom, a very large one, about £IO,OOO, was brought and paid. Caesar was set upon the mainland, near Mi letus, where, without a moment's delay, lie collected some armed vessels, returned to the island, seized the whole crew while they were dividing their plunder, and took them away to Pergamus, the seat of government 111 the Asiatic province, where they were convicted and crucitied. Clemency was not a Homan characteristic. It was therefore noted with some surprise that Ciesar interceded to mitigate Ihe severity of the punishment. The poor wretches were strangled before they were stretched 011 their crosses and were spared the prolongation of their torture.—James Anthony Fronde. !>IIH»'M Womlrr fill Stoiiilich. The human stomach possesses most wonderful powers of adaptation to cir cumstances. When Lieutenant Hligli and his eighteen men were east off from the Bounty by the mutineers in an open boat, they subsisted for forty one days on a daily allowance of one twenty-fiftli of a pound of biscuit per man and a quarter of a pint of water. J »r. Tanner in 1880 fasted for forty days, subsisting, it is said, on water alone, and Sucel and other fasting men have since excelled this. Kaffirs, North American Indians and the fat boy In "Pickwick" may well be quoted as fearful examples of vo racity, but even their gastronomic feats are exceeded by the full grown Eski mo, who will daily eat twenty pounds of flesh and oil if lie lias the chance, while on the authority of Admiral Kar itchefl' a Yakut of Siberia has been known to consume in twenty-four hours "the hind quarter of a large ox, twenty pounds of fat and a quantity of melted butter for his drink!" Ten N> NOII'M Ta< - t IOMMIIOHN. Several stories are told of Tenny son's thoughtless speeches. "What lish is this?" he once asked his hostess whore he was dining. "Whiting," she replied. "The meanest fish there is," lie remarked, quite unconscious that he could have wounded any one's feelings. Yet his kindness of heart was such that when his partridge was afterward given him almost raw he ate steadily through it for fear his hostess might i>e vexed. On one occasion Tennyson was very rude to Mrs. Hrotlierton, a neighbor at Freshwater. The next day he came to her house with a great cabbage under each arm. "I heard you like these, so 1 brought them," he said genially. It was his idea of a peace offering. Lightning'* Marks oil tlie Hud)'. A curious and not uncommon effect of lightning is the formation of certain arborescent or treelike marks iqioii the body. Ity early observers they were believed to be due to the presence of neighboring objects, which wore pho tographed upon the skin. Various ex planations were offered by different au thorities. Richardson has shown by ex periment that the blood is the best elec trical conductor of all human tissues and that these marks are merely the impressions of the blood vessels 011 the skin, due to the action of the lightning 011 the blood in the vessels.—Exchange. Four. Fear causes more disease than do microbes, more deaths than famine, more failures than panics; it costs more than war, is always a failure and Is never necessary. Fear weakens the heart's action, induces congestion, in vites indigestion, produces poison through decomposing foods and is thus the mother of autopolsoning, which ei ther directly causes or greatly aids In tlie production of quite 00 per cent of all our diseases. —(J. F. Meachani, M. a>., iu Health. The Parental l'lot. "Nellie, dear," whispered the Wash ington youth, "1 see my mother and yours are in earnest conversation over there.

B Take Caro of the Stomach. The man or woman whose digestion is perfect and whose stomach performs its every function is never sick. Kudol cleanses, purifies and sweetens the stomach and cure;: positively and permanently all stomach troubles, indigestion and dyspep sia. It is the wonderful reconstructive tonic that is making so many sick people well and weak people strong by conveying to their bodies all of the nourishment in the food they eat. Rev. J. 11. Iloiladay, of llolladay, Miss., writes: Kodol has cured me. I consider it the best remedy 1 ever used for dyspepsia and stomach troubles. I was given up by physicians. Kodol saved my life. Take it after meals, it. C. Dodson. Nice clothes that show, cover a mul titude of clothes not so nice that don't show.

Byer, a well known cooper of this town, says he believes Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea llemedy saved his life last summer. He had been sick for a month with what the doctors call bilious dysentery, and could get nothing to do him any good until he tried this remedy. It gave him immedi ate relief. - ' says 15. T. Little, merchant, Hancock, Md. For sale by L Taggart. A man likes to hear a woman say she has never been kissed, even if he does not believe it. Mr. I). P. Daugherty, well known throughout Mercer and Sumner counties, W. Va., most likely owes his life to the kindness of a neighbor. He was almost hopelessly afflicted with diarrhoea; was attended by two physicians who gave him little, if any, relief, when a neighbor learning: of his serious condition, brought him a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which cured him in less than twenty-four hours.

Ineffective liver medicine is a disap point, but you don't want to purge, strain and break the glands of the stomach and bowels. DeWitt's Little Risers never dis appoint. They cleanse the system of all poison and putrid matter and do it so gently that one enjoys the pleasant ef fects. They are a tonic to the liver. Cure billiousness, torpid liver and prevent fever. 11. C. Dodson. It may be true that John W. Gates' latest corner netted him 8,000,000, but we never hear a word from the people who are netted. Beware of the Knife. No profession has advanced more rapid ly of late than surgery, but it should not be used except where absolutely neces sary. In cases of piles for example, it is seldom needed. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cures quickly and permanently. Unequalled for cuts, burns, bruises, wounds, skin diseases. Accept no counter feits. "I was so troubled with bleeding piles that I lost much blood and strength," says •). C. Phillips, Paris, 111. '-DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cured me in a short time." Soothes and heals. 11. C.
