ENGLISH ELECTIONS.
Standing For a Sent In Parliament
la Expensive.
Although there uro strict lnws
BKiiliiHt lirllierj- iu the EiikIIhU elec
tions, stumliuu; fur a sent lu parlia
ment Is by no menus au Inexpensive
matter. Eveu a mnitll constituency
will cost not less tlmn $3,0(10, and the
expenses run from that up to $10,000.
At one election a nimlltliite paid out
on an average of $"0 for each vote,
but this Is regarded as tho record
price, the cost running as low as $1
a head.
The purchasing of a vote disqualifies
the candidate, even though he may be
Innocent of any participation In the
bribery, and as a result candidates
and their workers "agents" they call
them in England are most careful
that their actions shall be above sus
picion. Pinners nmy be served a constitu
ency, but payment even to tho women
of a family Is regarded as bribery, and
the cnmlldutes are compelled to trust
to speeches, house to holme convasses
and literature, both for hand distribu
tion and In the form of posters.

WHEN THE DUNES WALK.
A Snnd fftnrm Experience
the
Desrrt of Sahara.
To flco from a mind storm lu tho
nililnt of n ilri'iirliliiR ruin gpnms nn ab
surd performance. Tho Arab, however,
experienced In tho troys of Snhurn,
knows that when the rain stops tho
dimes lire opt to IickIii tlielr moHt ter
rible "walk-Inn." Ho seeks shelter
wbllo there Is yet time.
Our worst experience of tho desert In
one of Its mud tits, says tho author of
"In the Desert," wus on a morning
when, luckily for us perhaps, we wcro
nearlng the Inrfto onsls of Nefta, near
tho Tunisian frontier. Tho Dapping of
the tent and tho drumming of rain
drops upon It awoko us, and Ahnieda,
In some excitement, hurried our depar
ture. Ho eiplulned that so long as the
rain lasted It would keep tho sond
qulot and that this was our opportuni
ty. Accordingly, In a very short time
we bad struck tent, loaded camels, BOd
dled ponies and were under way.
It seemed to us a somewhat purpose
less proceeding. Tho rain was and hud
been heavy. The ground was saturat
ed. There seemed no prospect of Its
drying lu a hurry. As Nefta was only
half a day's march away It seemed
unnecessary to start In fruntJc haste In
the middle of the night In a pouring
rain. Ahnieda, however, made no an
swer to our protests. Tho other Arabs
seconded his efforts wltlr all their en
ergy. .Morning broke wan and sickly. As
the light grew the rain slackened. The
big warm drops became less frequent
and at last ceased. The dull, opaque
sky was pasty white and tho air hot
and oppressive, but tho wind still blew
ns hard as or harder than ever.
Hardly had tho rain stopped when I
tasted between lips and teeth the fa
miliar, gritty texturo of sand. Hitrdly
had the light Increased sulllclently to
disclose to view the drifts when all
their edges and crests could be seen
crawling and flickering In the gale. Al
ready there was the droning sound In
the air which meant that the dunes
were walking. We saw at last tho rea
son for the hurry. The rain cannot hold
the sand for more than the Instant It
Is falling. As soon as It strikes the
earth it sinks In. One moment you may
be streaming with water like a drown
ed rat, the next you are choking In
clouds of sand.
The air grew darker and darker, and
the roar of the sand as It rushed along
the desert made speech, except by
shouting. Impossible. I could Just dis
tinguish our tall camels in the gloom,
their ungainly action giving them
something the look of ships pitching
and tossing in a gale.
Ahmeda led the way by some mys
terious Instinct to us totally Incompre
hensible. Wo followed as best we
might, breathing sand as we went, our
heads bent to protect our faces. My
recollection of the next two hours Is no
more dellnlte than would be the recol
lection of being rolled over and over
by a bilge breaker. A singing and
roaring In the ears, almost total blind
ness, a sense of suffocation and the
feeling that I was in the hands of
elements more powerful than myself
are the vague Impressions that remain.
When we nt lust got to Nefta we
could not have been more saturated
with sund bad we been burled lu It
and dug up again. Hair, ears, clothes
were full of It. Our cheeks were scar
let and sore with the ceaseless batter
ing, and on them bad formed bard
crusts of sand, cemented by the wa
ter that had streamed from our eyes.
The Bloodstone.
Almost every Jewel has superstition
of some sort attaching to It, and the
bloodstone is not wanting In this par
ticular. The story Is told of It that at
the time of the crucifixion some lrops
of blood fell on a piece of dark green
Jasper that lay at the foot of the cross.
The crimson crept through the struc
ture of the stone, and tills, was the
parent of this beautiful Jewel. The
dark red spots and veins were sup
posed to represent the blood of Christ,
and many wonderful properties were
attributed to the stone. It was
thought to preserve Its wearer from
dangers, to bring good fortune and to
heal many diseases.

THE PECTORAL FINS.
fllthou Them the Flh Would
Stand on Its Head.
The pectoral fins of a fish are the two
fins, one on each side, Just back of the
head. These fins aid the fish to some
extent lu swimming. They are small
oars which the fish feathers very beau
tifully and are of value chlelly to pre
serve Its equilibrium. It Is with these
fins that the tish maintains Its horizon
tal position In the water when not
swimming. Without them the fish
Would stand on Its head. Sometimes a
fish loses oue or both of Its pectoral
flus by disease or by accident. A fish
without pectoral fins Is in a bad way.
While most fishes keep a horizontal
position In tho water when not swim
ming, there are fishes that do not. One
of tbeso fishes Is the flletlsh, which
when motionless suspends Itself in the
water, head downward, at an angle of
forty-five degrees or even neurer the
perpendicular. A flletlsh kept In an
aquarium which had lost both its pec
toral flns luclliied'over backward past
tho perpendicular when motionless to
about the samo angle that it would
have kept In tho other direction If Its
pectoral 11ns had been Intact, so that
when not In motion It seemed to bo ly
ing at nn angle on Its back.
In the same aquarium there was a
striped bass weighing about a pound
and u half, oue of whose pectoral fins
was uttacked at tho tip by fungus,
which gradually encroached upon It.
Finally the diseased portions of the flu
were cut off with a pair of sharp shears,
the cut being made within the sound
part of the Ilu. At first the fish was
like a man lu a boat pulling one long
our and one short one It couldn't hold
a course. Hut It soon accustomed It
self to Its new condition, and there
after It got along very comfortably.
SWISS EDUCATION.
A Serious Mntter, Hoarded Jealously
hr the state.
One reason why the Swiss fare well
Is that their public school system Is
probably the best In the world, and
with them public school education Is
practically compulsory. You can send
your child to a private sc hool (In some
cantons) If you Insist upon so doing,
but the face of the government and the
force of public opinion are sternly
against the practice. In the canton of
Solotliurn private schools are absolute
ly forbidden. In other cantons a pri
vate school pupil must secure a formal
permit from the local authorities, and
iu some cantons ho must pay a charge
to the public funds. The idea Is that
the public schools are good enough for
all; that rich and poor are to meet
there on even terms; that the public
school Is the nursery of democracy and
patriotism; above all, that democracy
Is tho llfeblood and strength and very
soul of the republic, and the republic is
Switzerland, and without the republic
Switzerland Is nothing. Private schools
for Swiss children are few In number,
and such as exist are under the strict
supervision of the state. Education Is
a serious mntter In Switzerland. There
Is no escape from It. A parent must
send bis children to school or go him
self to Jail. They kept a Seventh. Day
Adventlst In Jail for two years because
he refused to let his child attend school
on Saturdays. As It then seemed likely
he would spend the rest of his life In a
cell be surrendered. Everybody's Mag
azine. The Man Who Sings.
Give us, oh, give us, writes Carlyle,
the man who sing's at bis work! He bis
occupation what It may, he Is superior
to those who follow the same pursuit
in silent sullenness. He will do more
In the same time, he will do It better,
he will persevere longer. One is scarce
ly sensible of fatigue while one march
es to music.. The very stars are said to
make harmony as they revolve in their
spheres. Wondrous is tho strength of
cheerfulness: altogether past calcula
tion are Its powers of endurance. Ef
forts, to be permanently useful, must
be uniformly Joyous, a spirit all sun
shine, peaceful from very gladness,
beautiful because bright.
Ecsemn.
Cosmetic Jelly has In-en found nn ex
cellent remedy for eczema. You can
use It on the face without the slightest
fear of unpleasant results. Take thirty
grains of gum tragacauth and soak for
three days In seven ounces of rose wa
ter. Force through muslin to make the
preparation smooth and add an ounce
of alcohol, an ounce of glycerin and a
suggestion of boric acid, sny half a ten
spoonful. T!ie jolly Is a preparation
which has been found wonderfully fine
for chapped face and hands. -
Has Three Climates.
Abyssinia has three climates, aecord-
Ing to the altitude above the sea. In
the low country or valleys bananas,
tlates. Indigo, cotton and other tropical
plants flourish. Elephants, lions, gi
raffes, zebras and gazelles n bound. The
intermediate zone recalls the elininte
of Sicily or of Andalusia, In Spain.
There Is good pasture for flocks and
herds In the highest region.
Origin of "Whig."
What Is the origin of the word
"whig?" A twenty-yen r-old number of
Spurgeon's magazine. Sword and Trow
el, says, "In Cromwell's day the royal
ists first called tho liberals whigs, tak
ing the first letter of each word In their
motto. 'We hope In God,' and forming
theia into this word."
