Brief Comment On Political and Other
Matters of Public Interest.
(ANDREW J. PALM.)
The result of the? recent election in
Chicago shows what the people think
of municipal ownership and what they
will decide if they but. get the oppor
tunity of expressing their wishes. The
voters of the Queen City were asked
to express their qpinion as to whether
the city ought to own the street rail
roads, gas. water and electric light
plants within the city limits. The re
sult was that six times as many voted
in favor of such ownership as against
it. Any different result would not have
been expected from a sensible lot of
voters, unless a still larger majority
might have been looked for. The
people who will vote to give their own
valuable franchises into the control of
grasping individuals are stupid, or cor
rupt, or both.
Quay was anxious to have the pleas
ure of owning a governor, and used
this as a reason why he wan 4 **' Stone
four years ago. The Old Man's*owner
ship was absolute for a time, but it is
evident that Stone has grown weary of
playing political dog and refuses long
er to obey his master's call. Elkin isn't
Quay's choice, for he well knows that
Elkin owes allegiance to other bosses
whom he would serve. The truth is
that Quay has reached that point in
his political career when he can no
longer dictate to the other big bosses
in his party. His political power is on
the wane, and much as he may dislike
the fad and try to conceal it, he will
be obliged hereafter to fall in and go
along, or suffer defeat at the hand of
younger and more vigorous men who
have graduated in his political school.
Quay has but little choice in the mat
ter, for it becomes more clear day by
day that Elkin will be nominated
whether the Old Man wants him or not.
It is high time that the honest Demo
crats of the state should see to it that
no more Democratic traitors be sent to
the legislature to disgrace themselves '
and their party. The treachery of a
few men, elected as Democrats, to the
last two sessions of the legislature de
served death as much as treachery in
the army ever deserved it, but since
physical death cannot be visited upon
tliem, either legally or morally, let
their political death be sure and swift
and so certain that it will place them
beyond hope of resurrection. For de
cency's sake, and for the sake of hon- i
est. government let every honest Demo
crat take a solemn vow that he will do
his utmost to keep all such men from
being nominated to represent his par
ty. Better far elect a machine Repub
lican than a Democrat tainted with
Quavism. Thoro are certainly enough
Democrats of influence, character and
self reaped in every couiii.v of i Im slat,
to prevent the rii-grace of sending Quay
matter whether the* want to do their
dirty work in the house or the senate.
Every man who litis attempted to de- j
fend our brutal and treacherous deal- j
ings with the Filipinos has contradict- j
©d himself as well as the truth when
trying to explain the situation so as to !
make our course harmonize with what
ought to he expected of a civilized na- j
tion. In his testimony before the sen
ate committee General Otis declared
that he believed Aguinaldo to be strict
ly honest in money matters, but having
few equals in duplicity. Aguinaldo
must differ very widely from all his
American brethren, for if there is any
one thing which will bring out their |
duplicity it is money matters. More
lies are told, more deception practiced
and more downright deviltry of all
kinds perpetrated because men are not
like Aguinaldo, strictly honest in mon
ey matters, than from any other cause.
Otis, like all the others who have been
called to justify our outrageous con
duct in the Philippines, dislikes to lie,
but dislikes still worse to tell the un
pleasant truth which convicts us of
treachery and rankest hypocrisy in our
dealings with the Filipinos. Our whole 1
conduct toward them from start, to '
finish has been simply outrageous and
Otis knows it.

I WHAT IS TEMPERAMENT?
No Wonder Till* Child'* Bruin In All
In n Muddle.
The half dozen blocks about Dupont '
circle include tlie homes of as many 1
scion (kits of national reputation. These j
gentlemen of course know each other i
! and meet frequently. Not long ago one i
of their neighbors began to wonder
j whether such intimate intercourse
among scientists was a good thing,
his cogitation having had its rise in the
following incident:
His little daughter has just reached
i the age when she asks 200 questions a
I day. About a month ago her fafher
spoke of some author as lacking the I
proper "temperament" for writing on
history. That word "temperament"
i apparently took root in the youngster's
mind. What was temperament? She
. asked that question twice an hour for
i an entire week.
! Finally lier father gave her a note to
Professor and sent her off to lind
out. That scientist answered the que
ry as follows: "Temperament Is an in
dividual tendency to the rise of a cer
tain mental state." Father and daugh
ter wrestled with that a little while and
then applied to a second member of
j the scientific group for help. No. 2
called temperament "an ensemble of
physical and mental traits arising from
fundamental constitutional differences
lin individuals." This put the little
j girl's father completely at sea. So No.
.'J was tried. I lis judgment was that
i "temperament is the psychic resultant
i of the whole organic life of the Indi
vidual." By this time hope was aban
doned. But when No. 4 volunteered to
make It clear the family spirits re
vived. "Temperament is a general dis
position of the mind," he wrote, "the
distinctions of which depend on the
dominance of one or the other of tlie
physiological systems."
And now the family dictionary is
worn out.—Washington Star.
ANTISEPTICS.
They Do Not I)e*troy, It IN Snld, bat
Only Arrest tier in Life.
The Edinburgh Scotsman begs leave
to correct the erroneous belief that im
plies that antiseptics can prevent de
cay. Decay may be arrested without
killing the microbe which would pro
duce it. A few drops of a solution of
carbolic acid added to flour paste will
keep it sweet for a certain time, not
because the germs in the paste are de
stroyed, but because these germs are
hindered for the time being in their
growth and multiplication and because
Ihe paste is rendered temporarily an
unsuitable soil for the growth of what
ever microbes may fall from the air in
to it.
When the effect of the acid has worn
off and disappeared, we see the paste
going to the bad as rapidly as if it had
not been treated antisepticall.v at all.
Molds will grow in it, and it will decay
in the fashion familiar to everybody.
It Is In lids way cold may act as an
antiseptic when it is used to preserve
meat and fisli. There is no destruction,
but only arrest of germ life. If we wish
to kill microbes, therefore, we not only
have to use a disinfectant, but we must
employ it in proper proportions and see
that it thoroughly attacks the germs
we wish to destroy. It is for this rea
son that all attempts to kill geruis
which the air may contain are worse
than useless. We cannot "disinfect" the
air. If we could do so, we should re
quire to saturate the air with our germ
icide to such an extent that to breathe
it would kill us.
We get an excellent example of this
; fallacy of "disinfecting air" when we
reflect that in using burning sulphur to
purify a room after a fever case we
have to use it in such away and in
such proportion that it is impossible for
any person to remain in the room at
all.
II id i iiu Behind Biff Word*.
A mining expert recently described a
lode as traversing "a mot amorphic
matrix of a somewhat argilloarenaco
ous composition." This means literally
'a changed mass of a somewhat clayey
sandy composition." This in its turn
may be translated into plain English
as m u d.
Why choke a puny fact with mur
derous polysyllables? Huxley and Dar
win. Lye 11 and Fanulay cold so write
as to I"' "undcrslnuded of the people."
ami there is a suspichiit abroad in these
times that the big words so freely used
ignorance ami Inexact thought rather
than a proof of superior knowledge.

There is a sure and simple test of age
iu an egg. Dissolve six ounces of com
uton kitchen salt in a large glassful of
water and drop in your eggs, one at a
time. An egg one day old will sink to
the bottom, but if older it does not
reach the bottom. If three days old, it
sinks only just below the surface. If
five days and over, it floats; and the
older it is the more it protrudes from
the water.—New York Press.

To Beantlfy the Cottage Wnllw.
Each spring brings forth charming
now designs in wall paper, and the
country cottager has the joy of finding
the cheap papers in as dainty designs
and good colors as the heavier and
more costly wall coverings. Green is
still the favorite color for drawing
rooms, although white is also much in
request, and a beautiful bronze green
satin Louis XVI. paper is gracefully
festooned with flowers in a lighter
shade of green. Equally lovely is a
rose I>u Barry pink striped with wide
lines in a deeper tint, while dainty bas
kets of flowers in a pale pink are tied
with Louis XVI. bows. These papers
look best framed in panels of white,
with Carton Pierre decorations and a
white frieze festooned with flowers in
high relief. A beautiful white satin
paper has Louis XVI. bows trailing
over it, and on the white frieze fes
toons of pink roses looped up by bows
of blue ribbons.
For a dining room a handsome paper
shows a conventional design in rich
red. This has a white dado in imita
tion of woodwork; a white frieze also
in high relief. The newest paper for
staircases has a ground of slate blue,
with large conventional thistles in a
paler shade picked out with touches of
coral pink, cream and dull gold.
For bedrooms there are the prettiest
papers—copies of old chintzes. Trop
ical birds and almond blossoms on a
white satin ground is one charming de
sign. another shows roses intwined
with blue ribbons, and very charming
is one with huge single pink roses
climbing over a gray trellis.

blow, instead of things forced, un
healthy, into overluxuriance of bloom
and leaf.
Indeed an indoor window garden
may la* made a continuing delight. A
bay window is best for it. but any j
deeply embrasured one will answer.
I)o not have shelves across it. Set
some tall, handsome plant upon tin*
floor, a little to one side, and hang
front the casing overhead upon the
other side a basket of trailing green—
German ivy, asparagus fern or any
light, graceful vine.
Screw folding arm brackets, with
flowerpot holders at the ends of the
arms, irregularly up and down the
window casing upon either side; then
shift pots and plants about, trying
them in all combinations until satisfied
with the result.
The bottom of the window recess
should be lilted with a light zinc tray
coming out several inches wider than
the recess. In this mass stand plants
about the main one, either its foils or
accessories.

i well adorned dining table no longer cx-
I dibits a great centerpiece of flowers.
Instond. rhe embroidered doilv. which
to be up to date is large ami square,
• •alls for a tall, slim vase, with a few
choice roses or some mil stemmed flow
ers in the center of the doily. At ejteh
corner of the doily goes a low r vase of
the same style as the la Her. with the
same flowers in it. Sometimes the
vases are low and hold violets or or
chids, hut they must he alike. This
florist predicts for spring and early
summer table decoration a great profu
sion of lily of the valley, which Queen
Alexandra has chosen as the coronation
flower.—Good Housekeeping.
To Remove Ink Stniim.
The removal of ink stains is always
a problem, because inks are made by
so many processes. Soap and water
will remove some inks, while strong
chemicals make little impression on
others. The sooner the stain is treated
the more easily it is removed. Wash
ing and soaking in cold water or in
sweet or sour milk will remove the
greater part of the ink and frequently
the stain. Spots on washable articles
should be soaked in milk or water.
Rub the spot and change the liquid
frequently. After two or throe days,
if a stain remains, wet it with a strong
solution of oxalic acid and place it in
the sun. After this rinse very thor
oughly.
Cotton Print For L'lihulatery.
The old fashioned red and black and
green and black calico in very small
figures has been revived as a cotton
print for upholstery and is especially
liked for backing a portiere. One of
Ihe latter, of dark green cordudoy, had
a lining of the green and biuck print
| that wus quite effective.
Trifling With Your Health
Is Like Playing With a Loaded
Gun—lf You Have Kid
ney Trouble Attend
to It at Once.
□ Iteasy to tell whether your kidneys
or bladder are diseased. Take a bottle
or glass tumbler and fill it with urine.
If there is a sediment—a powder-like
substance—after standing a day and
night, if it is pale or discolored, ropy or
stringy, there is something wrong with
the kidneys. Other sure signs of dis
ease are a desire to urinate often, pain
in the back, or if your urine stains
linen.
There is no question that Dr. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is the best
and surest medicine in the world for dis
eases of the Kidneys, Liver, Bladder
and Blood, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia,
Chronic Constipation, and the sicknesses
peculiar to women, it quickly relieves
and cures inability to hold urine and
the necessity of getting up a number of
times during the night, and puts an end
to the scalding pain when passing urine.
The Itev. Henry I*. Miller, pastor
Baptist Church, Spartanburg, S. C.,
writes:
"For eleven years I suffered with
kidney, liver and heart troubles,
swimming in the head, dull head
ache and numbness of the limbs.
Several physicians prescribed for
mo and 1 took different medicines,
but none of them did me any good.
I then began the use of Dr. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, and in
about two weeks was entirely well."

CURIOSITIES OF MICA.
Its Apprarnnre Hefore It Is Split
Into Sheets.
The mica as it comes from the mines
is in blocks which are theoretically
short rhombic prisms, but practically
are scarcely recognizable as such, hav
ing a very rough and uneven contour.
They have a very perfect cleavage
parallel to the base and may be split
Into lamina 1 thinner than the thinnest
tissue paper, and these lamina* form
the familiar transparent stove panes
r.nd lamp chimneys. The exterior par
lions of these blocks are opaque, brittle
and worthless, presumably from the
penetration of water, for mica soon
decomposes when exposed to any con
siderable weathering. A thick layer
of plates has therefore to he removed
from either face of the blocks before
any mica of commercial size or value
is reached, and the sheets split from
the remainder are surrounded by n
wide margin of worthless material.
But the difficulties and losses of
mica mining ore far from being nil
enumerated. Even when occurring in
blocks of commercial size it is ren
dered valueless, or comparatively so.
V.v one or more of a series of defects,
which may ho classed as color, specks,
ruling, ribbing and wedge formation.
It sometimes occurs literally pied with
black dots, consisting in general of
black oxide of iron or garnet, and
when even a few of these arc present
its commercial value is destroyed, be
cause such mica when used as an insu
lator is peculiarly liable to puncture,
the specks forming practically short
circuits for the electric current. The
same is true of streaks, which arc
sometimes turned to red rust.
Some otherwise excellent mica is
found to be ruled or cut. as it were,
with a series of perfectly straight
lines, parallel to one side of the crys
tal. so that on being split ,1 he mica
falls immediately into strips; or, again,
instead of being striped or ruled the
I mien is oil ii deep It ribbed or .-orru
gated parali 'l lo I lie adjacent edges of
i i In- rrysial. ><• as i give tic appear
of t\.o leuer A. or. rn I her. V.
whence ii is termed "A mica." As the
ribbed portion has to be cut away in
the sheet, such mica is unprofitable
unless the blocks be large. Wedge
mica is that in which the block is
thicker at one end than the other, the
lamina* partaking in the unevenness
Such blocks are wholly worthless ex
cept as scrap.—Engineering Magazine.
