Let the Peorle Elect the Senators.
This item is from the Washington
Post : "1 1 is fortunii'e for the coun
try that the founders of the republic
left all its honors open to the poor.
Some of the men who have attained I j
very nign raus in suticsumnsiiip n in
no capacity to save money, and lived
snd died in poverty. There has
been more than one great Senator
who never paid taxes on an ast-eSs-metit
of f 2,(hmi, and who never
owned a home. And there have
been vety few great statesmen in
this country whose names graced
the list of heavy taxpayers."
It is also unfortunate that the day
of the statesman, poor in cash but
rich in brain, integrity and honor,
is passing away so rapidly. The
senate of to-day may well Ik; called
the "Millionaires' Club." There
are many very wealthy men in the
senate who aro there simply hecauso
they are wealthy or who were placed
there by the use of money. A poor
man has little chance of being elect
ed to the senate unless he is from
the South or from New England,
both of which sections have been so
far able to keep their senatorships
out of the hands of the wealthy men
who would buy them.
lccause the money kings are buy
ing seats in the sen.ite or getting
them through the influence of poli
ticians whom they back with money
and support (which is bribery in
direct) the dayd the "great senator"
has about passed away.
The only remedy for this con
dition ot alfairs is the election of
senators by the people. It may le
urged that there is the same danger
ol corruption in an election tha'
there is in a legislature ; but all will
acknowledge that even though it
may be poseible'to control a general
election by the use of money, it is a
thousand times as hard as to control
a few legislators concentrated at one
place
The resolution introduced in the
North Carolina legislature petition
ing for a constitutional amendment
providing for the election of sena
tors by popular vote is on the right

Why the Sky is Blue.
Did it ever strike you to inquire
why the cloudless depths of the sky
above ns are so delicately blue ! It
isn't that tho gas we call air is in
itself blue. So far as we know it is
quite transparent and absolutely
colorless. No ; the blue comes lrotn
reflected light.
Air is never pure; you couldn't
live in it if it were. ( untitles mil
lions of tiny pat tides, chiefly of
water, are always suspended in it,
and these arrest the free passage of
light. Each particle has a double
reflection one internal, the other
external and so the reflected rays
sutler the nsual result of what is
called "interference," and show
color.
You will notice that the sky ap
pears much bluer if you look straight
tip than if on look across toward
the horizon. The reason is tint, in
the first instance, you are naturally
looking through a much thinner
layer of air than in the second.
If there were no air, and conse
quently no watery vapor, and noth-ir-
to interfere with the free passage
ot light, even at midday, the sky
above would liKik perfectly black,
and all the etars would be plainer
than they are now at midnight.

Ueethoen's famous composition,
the "Moonlight Sonata," is said i:
have been composed under tho fol
lowing circumstances :
One overling, as Leethoven and a
fiioiid wero hurrying through tho
streets of Honn, they heard the
familiar notes of the "Sonata In V "
Something in the musician's touch
attracted the attention of I'eetiioven,
and he stopped snd listened. Sud
denly tho music stopped, and the
despairing words of the musician
eauio to them through tlio open
window, "Oh, if I could but hear
some really good musician play this
wonderful pu ce ! and the words
ended in a sob.
"Let us go in," said I'eetiioven.

by the musician, w dm said : "I.irten !

As to Mortgages.
Somebody has introduced a bill
in the legislature to provide for a
shoft form of crop lieu and chattel
m jrtgHge. If somebody will devise
means by which liens and mort
gHijee will be iitinecctlai'y he w ill be
a public benefactor. If a man hiwSan Juan figh', in Harper's Wei
anything to mortgage to secure a
debt, he bus something with which
to )iy the debt. Tho homestead
law is the father of the chattel mort
gage ; an 1 parent and offspring
combined have caused many busi
ness wrecks. Make a man's pos
sessions, wherevir found, liable for
his legitimate debts ; make his daily
wages liable, aiu1 men will be care
ful how they make debts. In a short
time tie large insolvent accounts on
the books of merchants will cease to
grow, and people will realize that
they must piy for aliyng. It will
promote industry by making all
iieople feel that they must work to
live, and living they must work.
Many a man who is regarded as
lmncst and w ho is honest, somct hues
feels that he must make a sacrifice
to pay a bill. There are other things
he wants to do, other applications he
wishes to make of what cash he may
have. He knows that under the
homestead law he can't be forced to
pay; consequently he puts of! his
debts from time to time, forces his
creditor to put oil his creditors arid
finally does a considerable amount
of mischief and places himself in a
position to le regarded as dishonest.
His intentions aro all right, but he
yields to a denire to purchase some
thing else or invest his money in
something which may be an ex peri
ment, or to spend it f-jr pleasure in
stead of pHjing a debt, intending to
pay the debt later, just hectnse the
law allows him to do so.
The lmmeutciid law has long ago
served its day and generation, it, in
deed, it wus ever entitled, hy right
reason, to a place on the statute
books. Wipe it out und let all that
is in the past stay in the pant. Let
all that a man buys and pays for
stand good for that which he buys
and dot sn't pay for, and it w ill make
business for every man to attend to
and inspire him to attend to it.

The Effect of Mauser Bullets.
The freaks of some ol the bullets
were strange, to say the least. Sev
eral particular wounds made by
them 1 remember very distinctly on
account of their peculiar nature.
One young cavalry oflicer was shot
through the mouth, the bullet en
tering on the right side of tho face,
sadly buttered a beautiful set of
teeth, splintering eleven of them,
was di lleeted ami turned downward
by one of the molars on tho left side,
and lodged in the muscles on the
left side of the neck, whero it now
is and can easily be felt. 1 le is now
in the toils of a dentist getting the
damage icpitiicd. The only mark
ho bears is a pretty little dimple at
the right corner of the mouth, sim
ply intensifying his former pleasant
expression. Another soldier was
shot through both thighs, and I
found the bullet in h's trousers pock
et. When told of the fact, he simp
ly remarked : "That's a mighty
smait bullet, to stop in my pocket
afti" jg mo. wouldn't lose
it i. .. farm." Another lad he
was mi r ly a boy, in fact was car
ried in by two comrades, and evi
dently did not know bo badly he
was hurt. While dressing his
wound there were three of them,
any one of which would render him
helpless for some time to come he
said to me : "Fix me quick, doctor ;
I want to go nil and have another
ciack at them." Of course that was
out of the question, but it g os to
demonstrate the spirit of the men,
the kind of material they were made
of. One poor lad, mortally wound
ed, was lying on the sand staining
it with his life-blood, and struggling
so hard with death that it made
me heart sick to fie! my utter help
hssness when bice to face with the
inevitable. He wantid so much to
live, and his look of mute appeal,
and l lie ft tepeati d quchtion ; "Will
I pull through, docor?" w ill haiit t
me for a long time to come. I am
comforted by the know . dge that
his death was quiet and painlcs--,

$2,800,000 WORTH OF GOOD.
Wonderful Results Accomplished by
a Pastor's Sermon.
When Rev. Frank W. Gnnsauliie,
I). D., new president of the Armour
Instituto of Technology was pastor
of Plymouth church, ho moved all
Chicago with his oratory. A young
giant, physically, with an unequal
led power ot poetic, expression, lie
threw himself boo the affairs of the
Lake City and accomplished a world
of good. In the six year's d his
service at Plymouth church he rais
ed something over $i;,iii)C,hhi for
institutions which hit chose to aid or
found.
The most interesting thing to be
related of him is that he preached
a rousing sermon one rundav at
Plymouth, in which he set forth in
his finest manner the things that
ought to be done for the young lxiys
and girls of our generation. When
io was through a member ol his
ongregation, Philip D. Armour,
the great pork packer, came for
ward, and, taking him by the hand,
said :
Do you believe in those ideas
yon just now expressed:
"I certainly do, said Dr. Gun-
SolllllS.
"A ml you'd carry them out if yon
iaU the means :
Most assuredly."
Well, then," raid Mr. Armour,
'if you will give mo five years of
our time I will give yon the
money.
The re.-ult was that the Armour
Institute no has Dr. (innsaiilns as
its presidi tit, whete this year 1 ,'.!"

THE FIRST BABY.
Its Coming is Looked Forward to
With Both Joy and Fear and its
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Plida and Delight by AIL
The arriviil of the first baby in tha
household is 1 1 if hnppiet and most im
portant event of married life. The young
w ife whoia to become a mother delight
to think of the happiness in store for her
w hen the littlft one shall nestle upoaher
bi-Hast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, "mother '
But her happy anticipation qoiekly van
ishes w hen she realize, the territufe pain
and ufT.rmg through which ilii must
paaj while bringing tlvsi little one into
thew-orkl. An indescribable tear of the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipaU-a her Joyfulneaa.
Thouaanda of womon have learned
by experience that there ia absolutely
no nwiwHity for the Bufferings which at
tend child-birth ; they know that by
the tia of "Mothor'a friend" a acien
titlo liniment for a few weeks before
the trying liour, expectant mothers can
n prepare' themelvea for the final
hour that the pain and suffering of the
dreaded event are entirely obviated and
it i safely passed through with com
paratively little discomfort.
All women are interested, and es
pecially expectant mothers who for the
limt time have to undergo this trial, ia
such a remedy ; for they linow the pais
n ml suffering, to say nothing of the dan
ger, which ia in store for them. "Moth
er's Friend" it woman's greateat bfes
tting, for it takes her safely through the
severest ordeal of her life. Every woman
should tie glad to read the little book

Swept the Treasury Clean.
A late-special from San Juan,
Puerto Jtio, sayt ; The wiles of the
Spanish officials to loot this island
are really funny. The Government
maintained what was called a guar
antee fund. For instance, sums of
money in litigation were, secordirig
to law, attached and put in this
fund. On the Court rendering judg
ment as to rightful ownership, an
order was issued on this fund to be
paid to the rightful owner, but nine
cases ou of fn so-ne rascal had
stolen it all. Dr. Coll expected to
find several hundred thousand dol
lars deposited to this fund, as tho
litigation is still going on, hut in the
entire Insular treasury he found Jiiit
"i cents in copper, t:J.S(i in Vene
zuelan gidd and $:n0 in Amciiean
bank bills. The lull amount gotten
away with is some $.'im(mm.). It
looks as if every departing Spanish
otlicial iwept into hisvv'K:kets all he
could and left f'f i) iLuifd with it.
