L THREE-PLY PARTY (Continued from page 5.) with office. Was he destined to the ame (ate under the protection o( the Silver Republicans? Generous Charlie Fitch happening on the scene about this time and quickly grasping the situa tion came up to Knight and told him they would get the Silver Democrat to turn over their Keprwentatlve-Iollo to him. For the time lin; this teemed to pacify Mr. Knight, but when he learned that the place paid only $300, and ex penses, per session, he disappeared from the Hall, and when last seen looked as though he would collapse So finally the report was adopted, with the under standing that the Treaxurershlp would be given bark to the Populist and that the Silver Democrats would turn their Representative over to the Silver Repub licans. When the Committee on Tlatform re ported it was pat 10 o'clock.

"The Iuuer Experieuces of a Cabinet Member's Wife" is oue of the most in teresting contributions to Tbe Ladies' Home Journal.

Iu thoavcmK" statistics of human life it has been found thnt women live lon ger tbmt meu. The rousou fur that ap pears to be simple. Up to the age of SO to 28 the limn is undoubtedly younger and lass develop ed tbau the woman, but in the next SO or DO years of bis lifu tho man ages much more rapidly, because apart from the straiu and hardship of a profession, the exposure to unlioalthful climates, the disappointments of fortune, he of ten leads a life of dissipation aud ex cess which early puts Its stamp upon bis forehead and turus bis hair gray be fore its time. Tbe woman, ou tbe other band, who bas oftun mora than ber hare of anxieties, hns, apart from the many acoidenta of Ufa, but one serious aud inevitable danger, that of tbe per petuation of ber race, which, safely passed, renovates rather than ages and increases a woman's chance of longev ity. From tbe few facts that I have ven tured to put together we may deduce, I think, tbe following conclusions, which, I trust, may be found of some interest by those who desire to have a general view of the expectation of life, its real duration and tho possible causes of iu length aud brevity. First. That, according to tho best authorities of tho last ceutury, the ex treme limit of life might be 193 years under extraordinary and almost abnor mal circumstances, Second. That the anticipation of life is roughly five times the time tbat the organs of tbe body not counting the brain, which develops later require to attain their full aud .absolute maturity. This, of course, varies Dot only iu races, but in individuals, some developing early and some much later, even in the same climate and iu the same family. Third That rarely, if ever, is that full duration achieved, owing to dis ease, food, heredity, bad habits, wear aud tear aud many other causes which 1 shorten life. 1 Fourth. Tbe slower the development tbe longer may be tbe duration cf life. I Fifth. That all btimau beings are not boru with the capacity for long life 1 even uudcr tbe most favorable circum stances. As the organism of the human being is more complex thau that of tbe lower animals, so his anticipation of ' lifu is fur more variable. ' Sixth. That thoo circumstances 1 which conduce to longevity ore nu ' doubtedly Into development, frugal hah its, moderation, exemption tr m virissi 1 tndes of climate and extreme of beat or cold, from mental worry aud agitation, temperature iu eating aud drinking, with a fair amount of hniu work w hen I tbe brain is ready to undertake it ; We have all beard the well woru ax ' iom attributed to the Psalmist that the "days of irr.n are threescore and ten," ' but in UeiiLj 1, 8, will be fouud tbe ' following p.i.-r-ugu, "Yet bis duys shall be au hundred and twenty years." , This passage secnis to buve been over 1 looked, as 1 have rarely seen it quoted, although curiously enough it exactly corresponds to tbe theory that man should attain five times the period of reaching bis maturity. Nineteenth Ceutury. j Th. DIsflcurlDf "Make t p." I So loug as we indulge in the barbar- ism of footlights some strengthening of the points of tbe face may be needful. It is iudecd au excellent thing when deftly done and tbe material causes of the effect entirely bidden, as tbey should be. Tho clarity of a whiter tiut to the general tone of the skin, tbe illumina tion of eye aud tcetb by emphasizing tbe brow and lashes aud lips, tbe height ening of tbe color all these things can be so done as to disguise the means by -which they are done. What is the method actually pursued? White is laid all over face and shoulders iu thick washes, like a Pierrot's mask, masses of black pomade loud the eyebrows and eyelashes, great gobs of red are put upon the ear lobes and on and around the lips like a snapdragon, deep piuk in aud below tbe nostrils aud on the eyelids and masses of bluck or purplo beneath tbe eyes, projecting to tbe temples iu arrowheads. All these things oro perfectly visible to a large part of tbe audience and are disfiguring even at a distance. With an opera glass they are shocking. The ob jects which are obtained are tbe gog gling of tbe eyes, which can be thrown about with the intensity of a darky's; and the display of the ivories, which produce similar effect to bis. For pus. sion to sbow itself in such plastered faces, for waves of emotion to spread over them and for any refinement of feeling to communicate itself to the au dience are as impossible as it would be to expect these things frum tho painted canvas. Tbey cannot cry, of course, nor touch, nor be touched, without disaster. Ellen Terry played a disfiguring scene here one night, with tho water stream ing from an eye into which ber loaded eyelashes had dichiircf'd themselves. Time and the Hour.

A frtitMl against Dramatis Dsmomitr tlons la Trials by Jarjr, There Is a pr actios the universal prevalence of whluh In our existing trials by jury makes justice a misno mer. It is a practice whose evils, to far as I can discover, have nover been commented upon, or even appreciated, by tbe press, publlo or individuals,. I refer to the whole ruothod by which, tight or wrong, iuiinomioe or guilt is sought to be proved by tho oouuaol ou cither side. Assume, for Instance, a criminal ease for the same method is applied, though usually to a lessor degree, to civil contests. Beginning with the opening arraignment by the prosecu tion, thcuee through the examination and cross eisuilnation of tbe witnesses, the display of exhibits, ou to the very end of tbe final harangues of tbe oppos ing counsel, the dramatic is never lost light of. Tbe emotions, not the Intelligence, of the jurors aro appealed to throughout In a typical murder rase which re cently gratified thu morbidly sensational element of the entire country the dis trict attorney arose impressively, glaucod about bim ominously and then, with a tremulously traglu voice, proceed ed to arraigu the accused, charging him outright with the crime, pruutically as suming without doubt that be was guilty and endeavoring by the use of very wile of tho orator's art to sway the jury to his mode of thinking. Aud this before the minutest bit of evidence had been taken. Is eloquence a proper adjunct to our jurisprudence? lleretio though 1 may be, I hold em phatically and with qualification that it is not. It hns uo place iu a ball of jus tice, where, we are led to believe, the truth and only tbe truth is to be brought out. Eloquence, as manifested by ora tory, Is inimical to truth, which can only be discovered aud established by calm, unprejudiced aud dispassionate Investigation. Eloquence appeals to tbe emotions, and its victories are obtained by trick-cry-the trickery of masterful verbiage playing upou sensitive but unreasoning ears. The claim that cannot be justified be fore the reason cannot be valid. Elo quence is the weapon of falsity. Truth and right do not require its usa The spheru of eloquence is tho stage. In the pulpit, before the Lar of justice and iu the hall of legislutiou it is a source of unlimited evil, I bold that for the accomplishment of justice all the theatrio displays, all eloquence, all excitants to thu vmotloua, should be Uu lulled from our courts of Isw by sentiment if not by regulation. They have no place there. Judicial pnx-edure should be along the lines similar to the investigation of scientific propositions and discoveries. The establishment of right or wrong, guilt or luuoceueo, is something to be effected by cold, prosaic, rigid Inquiry, step by step, ss atiulogous as may be to mathematical demonstration. We shall have to wait loug for tbe time when this Is recoguhced, but it will be iu the Indefinite future, and when that time does come we may be more confident tbat our otmrts of justice aro such in something more than name.
