GHEAT RECORDS MADE TRAILS LEFT BY BRYAN ROOSEVELT. AND llnndrcc's of Speeches Dave Been Hade During Journey lag of Thousand of Miles tfemarkable physical Endnr suice Shown by These Two Candidates In the trails which William Jennings Bryan aud Theodore Roosevelt have loft upon tlio map of the United States are evidences of the Intricate civiliza tion which each would represent. These iilnera.'Ies are only the evolution of the methods which in early days prompted a candidate to saddle his horse, throw a pair of saddlebags In front of him, and to ride Into a neigh boring county to feel the pulse of the people. To day the horse has become a 120-tou -locomotive; the saddle-bags are baggage, library and buflet cars; the cross-roads inn is a palace sleeping car that Is home to the candidate in all weathers, times, and places; the scores of miles of muddy or dusty roads have become the thousands of miles of steel bound road-bed over which these palace trains thunder with the swiftness of a carrier pigeon. That "there were giants In those davs" has become accepted of the past, but that the old-fashioned orator of the circuit-riding days of Lincoln and SPEECHMAKING AND TRAVELINQ RECORDS OF s' v a ys 1 ...

Bryan, not traveling so far, but taxing himself even greater In speech making and In the other activities of a campaign of which he has been the head, possibly did even more. In voice, Koosevelt suffered; perhaps In nervous strain he felt the work. Bryan, more trained In the art of public speaking, knowing tetter how to save and spare himself, and having the experiences of a great campaign on similar lines In 1800, has been a phenomenon In endur ance, even in the eyes of the medical profession. Itrynn's Active Work. ' Bryan's first active work began on Aug. 31, when he visited Chicago for a couference with the national commit tee. His letter of acceptance had been weighing upon him, but In response to calls he went South and East as far us Cumberland, Md., back through West Virginia, Ohio, and Indiana, to Chicago. Then to Milwaukee, back to Chicago, and from that city westward through a group of the central-Western states. These were only prelim inary movemeuts. Ills campaign proper began at Papilllon, Neb., ou Sept. 24, full three weeks after Governor Boose velt's special train had pulled Into De troit, Mich., for the opening speech of his campaign. As an example of Just how many du ties devolved upou these candidates, some of the figures from Mr. Bryan's tour of Indiana have been gathered. They show: Miles traveled . - 700 Speeches ...................... - 28 Counties touched ............... , 27 i Towns passed njj I Towns spoken to 28 WHERE THE GUNBOAT NASHVILLE WENT WHEN SHE LEFT ST.

About the same general experience was bis. Indiana being considered a most Important state, the work was In excess of the general Western average,, but even with that allowance the figures are significant of the demands made upon the physical and mental sides of these men. Voc il Kxertion. In considering Ue campaign work of a man, the voice Is the one thing that gives uneasiness to the speaker and b!s friends. With voice gone, his work Is at an end, and It Is known that the voice Is more likely to give away than any other physical necessity In a cam paign. If hand-shaking be thrust upon a candidate until the bone and tissue of the hand are a pulp, the public will still come and will respect the fact that the man's right forearm is In sling. But If be cannot talk, most of the attractive ness of the candidate takes wing. Nerve tax and the consequent loss of tone In the system are regarded as hav ing a direct and vital Influence on the voice. Dr. Oscar A. King, neurologist and professor In the medical school In the University of Illinois, bss found a most subtle relation between the nerv ous system and the voice. "As a basic proposl.tlpn," he said, "you may trace every -Impediment In speech to nervous Influences. Starting with this, the effect of a depleted nerv ous system ou the voice Is plain. The mechanisms of the vocal organs are In tricate of themselves, aud the nerves which control these organs multiply their complexities. In a falling voice, then, one must always look to the con dition of the nervous system. In the cases of Bryan and Roosevelt, the things most calculated to derange their ueives are those which react upon these nervous systems. Unquestionably the two things which most do this are ex citement and the sense of opposition In an audience which every political speaker has to face." Gets Little Best. "Physically, too, the work of a great campaign ou the railroads tells upon a speaker. There Is a loss of sleep al ways. Towns through which a train may pass In dead of night often turu out crowds who at least awaken the eaudldifie. Then the exigencies of an Itinerary force him to get up early aud go to bed late. "But even If a man sleeps soundly the night through ou a railroad train he is not rested as he would have beeu had he slept In a stationary bed. There Is reason to believe that In the souudest sleep possible in a fast-moving train the muscles are making unconscious efforts to neutralise the movemeuts of the body caused by swaylngs and Jolt ings of the train. The nerves prompt this, aud to the exteut that they are kept awake the whole system Is af fected. As the nerves are affected. too, the tendency toward Impairment of the voice Is Increased. In manv ways they tend to this, chiefly by dis concerting the speaker and causing him to waste lung power. , "Irregular meals and exposure to night air and to changes lu the weath- - imm'y$ TUB VESSEL MIGHT JUST AS WELL HAVE er are physical rinses for breakdown. Most-often suet speakers bava been regular In all tbi:r habits' of life. They cannot adjust , themselves at once to bolted food and Irregular hours for eat ing. Food is not digested as It should be and the body lacks its usual nour ishment. "Above all this, as In the case of Mr. Bryan especially, the weight of bfing the head of a party's machinery bas been distressing. He bas had more than the details of his own tour upon him. Telegrams, letters, and all the machinery of modern correspondence have bound him to his party's manage ment and . have obtruded upon him when he should have been resting.' "Nothing In athletics, In prlze-ffglit-Ing, running, riding, wheeling, or phys ical record breakings of any kind In its physical aspect can compare with the campaign work of William Jennings Bryan. His performance, In the light of mere physical effort and endurance, has been wonderful. In the matter of training and experience, of course, he has had the advantage of Governor Koosevelt, but he has been taxed as Roosevelt has not been. His cam palgn stands out as a marvel of pbys leal endurance." NAMES SPOKEN IN FULL. Familiar Abbreviated Nicknames Have lieen Disappearing for Years. "Have you observed," asks a corre spondent, "how the Jims, Sams, Bills, BRYAN AND ROOSEVELT Toms and other old-time abbreviations of boys' front names are disappearing frpui among the youths of the present generatlou, together with the diminu tive Jimmy, Sammy, Billy, etc., which time out of mind prevailed among mas culine youngsters? For some reason the boys have largely discarded the fiee aud easy way of addressing one an other that comes natural to Ingenious youth, substituting for the more roil.ck lug Tom, Dick aud Harry, sanctioned by immortal usage, a stlffer form of ad dress which does not match well with the freshness of boyhood. The same appears to be the case with the female Juveniles. Even among little girls play ing 'ring-around-rosy,' the Bessles, Maggies and Katies are disappearing, giving place to the stilted substitution o Elizabeth, Margaret, Catherine and tile like.

Philadelphia Record. DRIVING OUT THE HOODOO. Marcos Paly's Story of Ho wa Southern er ChanKcd His 1'oker Luck. Marcus Daly, the Montana million aire, tells or a poker game with some peculiar features. "The game,"., said Mr. Daly, "was In progress the second night after we sailed. I don't believe "t. ico?htn U,,,ted Stn'es gunboat Nashville visited St. Louis in the spring of l&JU, the demonstration attending her receptiou marked an epoch in the city's nistory. lbe Nashville was the first ocean-going war vessel that hnd ever steamed up the Father of Waters to the metropolis of the Mississippi valley. Hence the Interest attending her arrival. All the railroads entering the city ran excursion trains, and people came from the surrounding States, anxious to gaxe upon the pioneer from Old Ocean's depths. Leaving the city amid the acclamations of the multitude and to the music of the bands, the guuboat proceeded down the river, across the gulf, rounded the peninsula, stopped at Hampton Roads, crossed the Atlantic, passed through the Mediterranean sea and the Sues canal, on to the harbor of Tokio, Japan, and has since been in Chinese waters. St. Louis people declare that the vessel might just as well have carried merchandise as implements of war, and they intimate that the destiny of St. Louis is to become a deep water port. jtjtjtjtjtjtjljtjt CARRIED MERCHANDISE AS IMPLEMENTS OF WAR- much In hsodoos and signs and tb.1l sort of thing, and I don't put much faith In luck, but I was pretty nearly converted on this trip. A blonde-mus. tached Virginian named Mack Hardy was a steady loser for the first two hours. He played 'em well, but when ever he had a big band somebody else always bad one just a bit bigger, and on a bluH some fellow with more cu riosity than nerve or Judgment would call him down. At Just 11 o'clock be got up from bis chair and walked back ward arouud the table thirteen times, offering no explanation for his strange conduct. On the next deal he bad a pair of treys, raised It when it came his say, stood two raises from other players and set It back the limit. Both the others stayed In, holding up an acs -find -didn't Improve; each of the oth ers drew only one card. .Hardy put up a magnificent bluff I never saw a low hand played better, with all the feints of assured nervousness, frequent glances at bis baud, etc. "He drove one man out who bad aces up and had the other on the run, when a gust of wind through the open door scattered the third player's hand, oue card getting mixed up with the discards. Of course, that band was dead the four remnants of what had been a -queen straight and Hardy swept something like $375 into bis hat. He didn't even have to show his treys, for bis opponent had not put up on the last raise, although Just about to do so when the wind killed bis hand. Now. wasn't that luck' Or what do you think about the thirteen walk-around queering the other fellow's hand? "An hour later Hardy took a fresh pack, pinned the ace of diamonds from It on a waiter's shirt front., tore up tiie other fifty-one cards and then marked a skull and crosshones In creme de menthe on the waiter's shirt bosom Just above the ace. On the very next deal, with only three nines on a one-card draw, he bluffed a $150 pot out of a fellow who held a deuce full! Now what do you think of that?" How to Choose Good Meat. Let us imagine ourselves before a butcher's block having on It four, pieces of beef presenting faces from the round or sirloin. One Is dull red, the lean being close-grained and the fat very white; the next Is dark-red, the lean loose-grained and sinewy and the fat white and shining; the third Is dull red, the lean loose-grained and sinewy and the fat yellow; the fourth, is bright cberry-red, the lean smooth and medium-grained, with flecki of white through It, and the fat creamy-nelther white nor yellow. The first of tbesejls cow beef; the second,' bill) beef; the third, beef from an old or Ill-conditioned animal; and the last Is ox.' beef. Ox beef that .from a steer Is the Juclest, finest' flavored, sweetest aud most economical to buy of pll beef. It Is called "prime" when the lean Is very much mottled with the white fat-flecks, and when 'it Is from a heavy, young animal (about 4 years old), stall-fed on corn. Beef from a young cow thai has been well fed and fattened Is next In merit to ox ueer. Beer rrom an un matured animal Is never satisfactory, being totigh and Julceless. It may bf easily recognized, as its color Is pale and Its bones small. Woman's Home Companion. The Practical Side of It. "There Is so little money lu litera ture," said the wife, "that I think you would be wise to choose some other profession. Why, the man who runs the Ice wagon makes more than you do; the butcher goes out driving every Sun day; the baker wears a beaver and a linen collar, and the real estate man has three diamonds In a white shirt, to say nothing of the coal man. who goes to sluep in church on a velvet pillow every Sunday the Lord sends!"

The oyster appears to be the most rfectly protected creature In the sea. t It falls a victim to the soft and np reutly helpless starfish. The. method attack Is curious but effective. The irfish clasps the oyster In its five ns and quietly waits. Presently the ster opens Its shell lu order to get m1. This Is the chance that the star h has been waiting for. and It prompt injects into the shell a little red dish fluid. This acts as a polsou, paralyzing tut muscles of the oyster and thus making It Impossible for the creature to close Its shell. The starfish does not take the trouble even to remove the oyster from its shell, but eats It In its own home and eventually crawls away, leaving behind the gaping, empty shell. When the. Lord fluds a surplus lot of babies on hand, he leaves 'them with people traveling over the country In movers' wagons. THE HOG IN HISTORY. REFLECTIONS ON PORK AS AN ARTICLE OF DIET. M-nr Contentions Have Arisen Over Its Use as Food -Much-Maligned Animal that Resembles Man In More than One Respect. The bog of to-day constitutes no less Iban 370 different articles of commerce, and next to cotton and wheat furnishes the largest values In exports from the United States. Its name bas become an epithet Its application to man means creed and brutishuess. It Is com monly supposed to be a scavenger, like the puddle duck.. It takes mud baths. So do men. There Is much virtue in mud. The hog bathes In pools or it to coat his skin against attacks of insects; man dips his festered hide In It to Im prove bis circulation and draw out uis gout and rheumatism. The bog Is pachydermatous; so Is man notwith- standlne Cuvier's classification. I have seen men, know men to-day, with skins thicker than the hide of the rhinoceros, The hoir is omnivorous so is man. The tiog is carnivorous by choice so Is man, The bog Is herbivorous, granivorous, gramnlvorous and pbytivorous by edu cationso Is man. These reflections are Induced by the Indignities offered a useful animal, rhe hog was the cleanest of beasts until man built a sty and Imprisoned him in filth, fattened him on filth killed him In filth and ate him In filth. No animal, wild or domestic, is so clean lbout Its bed as the hog. It wants pure, sweet, fresh straw every time. The bog has brains. It has been known to xcel the pointer in scenting quail. An luthentic Instance is mentioned by Bingley lu "Memoirs of British Quad rupeds" of a keen-scented sow that would stand at birds which the dogs and missed. Whoever heard of an edu ;ated ox or sheep? Yet we have had jn our stage educated hogs that could ipell and play cards, count and tell the rime. Hogs make docile pets. Many a joor family has Its pet pig sleeping on the pallet beside the children, priv ileged to the best In the house. The hog caused the biggest mutiny ;ver known In the history of the world, ind was responsible for men being blown from the muzzles of cannon. When Great Britain shipped cartridges to India for the native troops she reck ned without her host, for the ammuni tion was greased wltb lard, which so ffended the religious scruples of the jepoys that they arose as one man In bellion. The American hog nearly ?aused war between Germany and the United Stotes and only the diplomacy )f Whltelaw Reid obtained for the ani mal admission Into France. Moses and Mohammed were opposed to the hog because, while-It divides the boof and Is cloven-footed, yet It qhews not the -cud. The camel is not eaten for opposite reasons it chews the cud, but is not cloven-footed. The hare Is llso unclean, because while It chews the cud it divides not the hoof. All civ llzed nations have passed and repassed laws governing what a man shall eat ind bow much It shall cost blm, but the uly sumptuary measure that ever stood the test of time Is the law of Moses concerning the hog. It. has been )n the statute book for 3,390 years. NEVER SAW AN UMBRELLA. How the.IrUh Tenant Propose! to Get it Out of i; is Hut. Old Mike and his wife lived in a little cabin on the mountain, one of a type which is happily every day becoming more and more rare. The walls were of mud and the floor of the same use ful material, with a gutter running down the middle to divide the family apartments from that of the domestic ii nl mills. To this mansion came his reverence once cold, snowy morning In .March to hold a station. His umbrella was wet and dripping, so, being a care ful man, he placed it, open, ?n the space vacated by the animals, who were graz ing outside. After the usual devotions, when the congregation bad dispersed, he went for a stroll, while Molra pre pared breakfast, for to entertain his reverence afterward Is the crowning honor of a station. He bad not gone far when a heavy shower obliged him to take shelter under a tree and send a little gossoon running back for his urn-bi-ella. "His reverence is afther sending me to bring his ombrell," said the boy, bursting Into the cabin. ' "The saints preserve us!" said Mike. "Maybe It's the thing he left beyant in the corner," and seizing the umbrella he tried to pass through the door, but the entrance was low and narrow and the umbrella large and wide. Without a moment's hesitation he caught up a spade and began shoveling down the wall at either side of the door. 'Man alive," said the priest, appear ing on the scene, "what are ye at?" "Shure, It's makin way I am for yer riverence s ouiDreii," said old Mike; "divil a bit of It'll go through at all at all." "Ah, nonsense, man." said hi reverence, laughing, and stepping in side he took the umbrella out of Moira's band and closed It before them. Old Mike stared at it aghast. Then he turned to his wife. "Glory be to God, Molra," he said, "Is there any thing beyant the power of the priest?" SACRED RELIC OF ASH4NTEE. Golden Stool Has Eeen the Cause of manv are with Eneland. The golden stool of Ashantee's mon- archs has for many years been the cause of contention between the na tives and the British. Descriptions of it have been conspicuously wanting and it bas remained as mythical as the golden fleece which Jason and the Ar gonauts stole from the sacred oak of Colchis or the three golden apples which bung In the garden of the Hesperides. The announcaieut that the recent up rising was the result of attempts of the governor. Sir Frederic Hodgson, to re cover the sacred relic was generally In terpreted in two ways by Americans: Either the British were attempting to rob the tribesmen of a large nugget of preolons metal or the account bad some meaning not understood, as would be the case, for Instance, with the news of the crowning of King Kl Kl of the Kansas City carnlvaL But the golden stool Is a real stool. although It, Is not made of BW. " means more to the Africans of the Gold Coast than the ancient scone stone which forms the support of the corona tion chair of England signifies to the loyal Briton. This symbol of authority, on which the kings of the Asbantees have been crowned for nearly 100 years, is doubly prized as a piece of remark able workmanship and as a spoil of conquest It was captured from the Sultan of Jamln early In the century. Its base Is an oblong piece of wood, heavily gilded. In the center of thia Is a gilt support, resembling a char coal brazier; on each side, are square pillars. These, wltb the brazbr, sup port a concave seat The stool is not the only article in the regalia. There la a state umbrella and there are golden axes and curiously carved scimitars. After his enthronement the king oc cupies the golden stool only once a year. The rest of the time It Is put on one of the richly carved arm chairs for which the natives are fanious and kept near bis usual seat. When Gen eral Wolseley captured Coomassle, the Ashantee capital, In 1874, the stool bad been secretly removed and It has re mained ever Bince In the possession of the tribesmen. The last time a white man saw It was seven years ago. King Trempeh bad not been able to afford the coronation ceremonies, so he sought a loan of $2,000 from the British for the purpose. When the commissioners sent to negotiate the affair were ushered Into the monarch's presence a band of musicians played on elephants' tusks. "Under a large and gorgeous canopy," says Dr. Freeman, one of the commis sioners, "stood a roomy chair of native manufacture, studded with bright-headed nails and enriched with silver orna ments and on this reposed the cele hratpd rnval stool. PreniDeh was seat ed on a similar chair under bis own um brella and not under the canopy." Early In 1900 the astute Asbantees de clared they could not pay taxes to a governor who had never sat upon the golden stool. To be able to satisfy their scruples Sir Frederic Hodgson be gan the search for the royal emblem which resulted In the recent war,' vention Hants, like animals, are continually wandering to fresh fields and pastures new. Professor Kellerman finds that of the present flora of Ohio no less than 4J0 are Immigrants. Almost all are from Europe. -. ; The number of stars distinctly visi ble without the aid of a glass Is put by Gould at 5.333. Trofessor New- comb says their number is near 7,647. These are up to the sixth magnitude. Professor Newcomb estimates the number up to tbe 14.5 magnitude at two hundred million. The country most frequently visited bv earthauakes Is Greece, and nnt Japan, as was hitherto generally be lieved. During the six years from 1893 to 1898, not less than 3.187 earthauakes were observed In Greece, 1. e.,' about twice as many as occurred In Japan within the same time. The Island of Zanta alone had 2,018 shocks during that. period. i The great majority of our birds live by taking insects on the wing, and as they cannot obtain this sort of food after the reign of frost has set In. thev are compelled to betake themselves to a warmer clime. Most of them flv in small companies, but certain -unpeimi often migrate in large flocks, and Jne most prominent examples of these, next to tbe famous wild pigeons of the West are the swallows, notably the white- bellied species. A favorite route of these swift flyers Is over the salt marshes which border the sea. Claude Fuller, the Enelish ment entomologist In Natal, South Af rica, says that the Basutos eaj locusts, even making cakes of them, ns ho lL informed. In Pietermarltzburg the na tives, and some of the whites, gather the flying termites that are attracted by the electric lamps, and use them both for flsh bait and for food. They are sometimes toasted and sometimes fried in a pan with butter. He quotes from a friend the statement that bugong moths are cooked by the natives on hot ashes and eaten with great gusfo. French meteorologists engaged In the exploration of the upper air by means of captive balloons have found that, owing to the effect of the sun's heat on the . balloons, the best results are at tained at night and their most suc cessful experiments have been per formed by moonlight The balloons carry self-registering thermometers and barometers and attain enormous heights, varying between 40,000 and 50,000 feet The highest flight recorded by the instruments Is nearly nine and one-third miles. Last winter there was discovered at Chateaudun in France an example of the rare phenomenon known In popular phrase as "the king of rats." It con sisted of seven living rats Inextricably bound together by the interlacing of the tails. A photograph of the singu lar group, together with a description was sent to a scientific Journal In Paris! The name king of rats is based upon the tradition that the king of the world of rats and mice Is accustomed occa sionally to enthrone himself, adorned with a golden crown, upon a group of rats with tails entwined. Several in stances Of this Curious Dhennmon ... recorded In books on natural history It Is said that the king of rats is formed only In the winter, when the animals crowd together to keep warm, and the rodent friends of the unfortunate pris oners are credited with feeding them out of benevelonee.

The only husbands that are ever "managed" are the ones that women talk about, that they don't have. You can get the truth out of a woman by flattering her, but to get it out of a man you have to get him scared. Every fat woman thinks the Turki are not so bad after all, because she has heard that they think thin women are ugly. Whenever a man and a woman get married, at least one of them doesn't do as well as he or she might have done, for himself. Every woman whose husband can never pay his debts believes the world will realize some time what a grew man she married. Lots of women go through li think ing that all the other people think they are artistic simply because they keep their hair mussed up.

Curious Instinct in Weeds. tVeeds, if they are pulled out of the lawn at the time when they are full of seed, will evince a degree of care for the seeds which is almost touching. They' wll curl their leaves upward as far as each can go to cover the seeds and protect them from the sun till the, end, and often one will find weeds that are quite dead, sun-killed, whose leaves still are wrapped firmly around the seed pods. No mother could show more striking devotion in death than do tese -despised plants. rM,"nrTnsTaraWsi The talkative bore is the worst kini of a pneumatic tire.
