SHORT TALKS Brief Comment On Political and Other Matters of Public Interest. (ANDREW J. PALM.) Congressman Bell, of Colorado, told a truth the other day when he declared that the house of representatives is no longer a deliberative body, but is absolutely controlled by a few men, ' whose domination he characterized as ! a legislative trust. Under the im perialistic rules of the house, the speaker, with a half dozen pals, can control all the legislation that comes before the body. They can have bills reported or pigeon-holed for the ses sion as may suit their pleasure. They shut off debate on every measure, the discussion of which is likely to bring out damaging truths, and in every way absolutely control the action of the house. Imperialism is having its ef fect on the temper of the government at Washington as well as in the Phil ippines. Four years ago Quay expressed him self as anxious to know how it would feel to own a governor. Since his curi osity was gratified there is no reason why his right bower, the Hon. W. H. Andrews, should not have a similar ambition, and he is, no doubt, behind the boomlet of his brother, Wesley Reuben, whose friends insist is likely to surprise the Republican state con vention. It isn't at all likely that Mr. Andrews, Mr. Quay or anybody else will own the next governor of Pennsyl vania, for he is certain to be a man who will acknowledge no master but the sovereign people, whose wishes he will respect and whose interests he will serve. Fie will not have his open hand ready at all times to take cor ruption funds from $250,000 down, to sign ripper bills and franchise steals. He will have no political machine to build up at the expense of the state. He will not belong to the Durham, Stone, Elkin, Quay crowd, nor will he have been graduated in their infamous political school. He will be nominated by the next Democratic state conven tion, and be elected by all good citi zens, irrespective of party, who are ashamed, disgusted, indignant at the high handed corruption that has dis graced the government of the state for many years past. The fact that Mr. Terrence Powderly will be retired from the important of fice of commisioner of immigration by President Roosevelt, and that Mr. Frank Sargent will be appointed to succeed him, appears to be received with much satisfaction by the labor element. Powderly, notwithstanding bis prominence in labor organizations some years ago, by his influential po sition in the Knights of Labor, of late has been regarded as the enemy rather than the friend of organized labor. In politics he was formerly a Democrat, but for consideration in the way of office he became an active worker for the Republican party. His administra tion of the immigration bureau has been much criticised, and some of his recommendations have had a good deal of the spirit of old-time nativism. Mr. Sargent, on the other hand, is an ac cepted representative of the labor or ganizations and stands high in their ranks. His selection to take Powder ly's place indicates pretty clearly that the president has his eyes fixed on the labor vote, and is casting anchors to th windward. Mr. Sargent is of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, and was a Republican stumper, we be lieve, in the canvass of 1900. One of the best ways to office in this country is for the professional labor agitator or reformer to become prominent in political or partisan work. —Pittsburg Post. YoukerN Men'* Head*.

Rennons Why Food Should Not Re Tumbled Rapidly Into the Little Stomach—Advice Which Applied to Grown Folks as Well an Huh cm. In the proper bringing up of a child there is nothing absolutely more im portant than this one thing—to teach it to eat slowly. Every groom knows and observes the rule in the care of a horse that rapid eating is fatal to digestion. There are ill sorts of patent mangers to prevent the horse swallowing his oats too quickly. The man who has no patent manger knows enough, when neces sary, to put a stone in the manger, scattering the oats around it, so that the horse may be compelled to eat slowly. If the horse's Inclination is to gulp down water too fast, the care ful man will put a big sponge in the water, compelling slow drinking. A child's appetite, when he is al lowed to eat rapidly, is always in ex cess of his actual needs unless the child is in bad health. The reason for this Is extremely simple. The child craves food because his body requires to manufacture new tissue. He is growing, and he must not only replace the used up tissues that his daily life destroys, but he must make new flesh, new muscles, new bone and new blood every day, adding weight and size. Tlie sensation of hunger is not the craving of an empty stomach, satisfied as soon as the stomach is filled; it is a craving that is felt by the nerves all over the body. This craving cannot possibly be satisfied until the stomach has begun the work of transforming the food into blood, flesh, muscles, etc.; consequently the sensation which we call hunger persists long after the child or grown person has rapidly ab sorbed as much food as it really needs. A million foolish parents urge their children to eat a great deal and always let them eat as much as they want to. Yet all of these know that a famished man taken off a wreck will eat himself to death if allowed to do so. The very hungry child goes to the same excess, only in a lesser degree. The great safeguard against that excess in eat ing, which kills 90 per cent of men be fore their time and which accounts for 99 per cent of children's diseases, is slow eating. Nearly all children eat too rapidly. They do so by nature. Slow eating is a matter of education. But too often the mother or the nurse teaches the child the habit of eating fast. Wh *1 the baby is little, it is fed one spoonful at a time. Before it has time to half chew or even gulp down the first tea spoonful of food another is held to its lips. Of course it swallows what it has in its mouth and seizes upon the next mouthful. The habit thus incul cated by foolish adults often ruins the child perruanentlj'. Four factors count in the healthy as similation of food, factors which par ents and nurses should remember. As suming the food to be properly prepar ed, thoroughly cooked and wisely se lected, there comes, first, the work of the teeth, which prepare the food for easy digestion; second, the action of the saliva, with which the food must be thoroughly mixed in order to mini mize the necessary work of the gastric juices in the stomach; third, the work of the stomach itself; fourth, and most important, a proper supply of blood and of heat. Force your child to chew slowly and thoroughly every mouthful. If noth ing else will do, compel him at fre quent intervals to lay down his knife and fork that the importance of pro longed chewing may be impressed up"n him. Don't allow your child to gulp down water or any other liquid with his solid food. If you allow him to drink while he eats, the salivary glands will not act. They will not need to act, for he will be able to swal low his food easily when it is made moist by water. You can't do anything to help along the unconscious process which go s on in the stomach, but you can do ev erything to help that process by at tending to the fourth necessity, which demands blood and the heat of the blood in the stomach. Allow no child after eating to take violent exercise, to study or even to read an exciting book. The brain has first call upon the service of the heart, and as soon as the brain is excited the blood leaves the stomach and goes to the head. The muscles also when too violently ex erted draw the blood away from the stomach. It is absolutely impossible for a child or a grown person to digest properly or to get i rength and vitality from what lie ea s unless for at least a half hour after eating the stomacli be al lowed to monopolize the blood supply. Children should be kept quiet in some way, especially very young chil dren, after they have eaten. In the case of very young babies nature at tends to this mercifully by making them go to sleep as soon as they have absorbed their milk. Older children ought not to go to sleep directly after eating for physiological reasons which may be explained at some other time; but they ought to be quiet and calm. Tens of thousands of children in homes where this newspaper is rend are ruin ed in health by studying right after meals. The public school system which gives children too short a rest ing period in the middle of the day is responsible partly for this, and the home studies at night are also respon sible. Every word that is said here applies to grownup people, of whom not one in a hundred has ever been taught to apply to himself such common sense cure as is bestowed on a second class hoi sc. - New York Journal. THE DOCTOR'S ROOM Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Trenton wore to gether with Trenton's brother, anil Dr. Trenton suggested thut his wife tell the story of how she came to marry. "Herbert, my brother, had written that it would be impossible for him to meet me at the station and that I must take a cab and drive to Kings Court Mansions. "When I arrived at King's Court, I walked bravely up the stairs with my traveling bag, the cabman following with my trunk. The length of the stairs took my breath away and also deprived me of all power of calculation, and in my ignorance I was unaware that the entresol does not count. "Therefore, when I arrived at the landing where a door was standing open and an old manservant just re plying to an inquirer that the doctor would not be in until 2 o'clock, I con cluded that I had reached my Journey's end, for my brother also rejoices in the title of doctor, though his degree is in music. "To old Colonel Jnmes' astonishment I walked in, saying: 'The doctor ex pects me. rlease have my luggage taken to my room. I am his sister.' "With that he admitted me, mutter ing, 'Never heard of a sister,' into the smoky, dusty apartments I assumed to be my brother's bachelor quarters. "To distract my thoughts I picked up a magazine, opening it where a letter had been placed to serve as a mark. My eyes fell on the first words, and my attention was riveted in a moment. "Now comes the disgraceful part of my confession. I could not refrain from reading the letter. It was signed, 'Your old friend, Ned liar wood.' "Dear Old Man—So you have decided to Install that dreadful little thing In your house, though you acknowledge yourself that all the peace nnd comfort of your life will be gone. Do be advised and give up the Idea of such folly. At any rate, don't be surprised If I cut your acquaint ance for the present and leave you to solitary enjoyment so long as Dolly forms part of your establishment. Luckily I am off tomorrow, and by the time I come back you will have found out your mis take and sent Miss Dolly back where she came from. Your old friend, "NED IIARWOOD." "My dear lady," cried Ilarwood, "you don't mean to say that any misunder standing arose out of that?" "I do mean to say so," she replied, laughing. "It was quite possible I should assume those words referred to me, and you cannot be surprised that at first I was highly Indignant and then began to weep. "My resolution was soon formed. I would go at once. I would not even see the heartless brother who had dis cussed me with his friends in such a manner. I quickly repacked my travel ing bag. While doing so I came upon a photograph of myself, which had been tuken as a memento for the friends I was leaving. "A sudden thought made mo write a few words upon It and lay it on the table where the flowers and luncheon still remained. Then I put on my hat and mantle and was just going to open the door when I heard a latchkey in serted in the other side. It was Her bert, I thought. He should not find me there, nnd, seeing the door of a small room open, I slipped in and closed it behind me." "Now let me tell the rest," interrupt ed Dr. Trenton, "for I was the principal actor. I fancied I was dreaming as I became aware of the invitingly spread table. Then I saw two covers laid as if for a delightful tete-a-tete nnd upon my dinner napkin a photo of the sweet est face I had ever seen. Look—that's the picture. I have not given it up since. And listen what was on it: " 'As I am so ugly that I destroy your peace and drive away your friend, I leave you nnd shall find a hoihe else where.' "I puzzled over it in vain, for your letter never entered my thoughts. I could reach only one conclusion—that the original of this captivating picture had been here and that I had missed her. "James thought I was mad. At last I extracted the facts from him, at least so far as he knew, for ho did not know where my 'sister' had disappear ed to. I caught up my hat in the hope of discovering some trace of her. We were both on the threshold when I heard a faint cry. I opened the store room door, and Dorothy, in tears, fell into my arms." "If I had not been frightened to death in that dark room," said Dolly, "when that horrible monkey jumped 011 my back I would have stayed there for hours rather than call for help." ".lust think, Mr. Ilarwood, your spe cial aversion, Miss Dolly, had already disturbed Jack's peace to such a de gree as to be banished to the dark storeroom. No sooner had I entered it than the mischievous pet Jumped on my back and would not move till Jack came to the rescue." "Yes, I was obliged to restore my household fairy to Herbert, who had been waiting anxiously for her since 2 o'clock. However, I did not let him enjoy her company long, for soon she had to descend to the third floor flat again and preside over my breakfast, luncheons and dinners." Ned Ilarwood was obliged to admit that, ail unconsciously, he had proved B very useful matchmaker. NqonrliiK the Circle. The phrase "squuring the circle" is another way of saying "attempting an impossibility." The allusion is to the mathematical question whether a cir cle can be made which contains exact ly the same area as a square, and the difficulty is to find the precise ratio be tween the diameter and the circumfer ence of a circle. Popularly it is 3.1439, etc., but the numbers would go on to infinity. This problem has given rise to an amount of labor only equaled by that bestowed upon the equally impos sible one of discovering perpetual ino tlou. Trifling With Your Health Is Like Playing With a Loaded Gun—lf You Have Kid ney Trouble Attend to It at Once. Cjlt is easy 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 Rev. Henry P. Miller, pastor Baptist Church, Spartenburg, 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 me and I 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." Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Rem edy is for sale by any reliable druggist, SI.OO a bottle or six bottles for $5.00 less than one cent a dose. Sample bottle—enouyh for trial, free by mail.

Plant a new orchard nnd have it com ing on before the old one dies. It takes from six to eight years for a newly planted orchard to come Into bearing. Better a stock tree with rather a low head. If It has plenty of side shoots, all the better. The early sown zinnias will mnke the earliest blooming plants, and they should be set In the open ground as soon us possible. Do your grafting before the buds swell. The stock and scion must unite before the buds begin to make drafts on the stored un nourishment. A.
