Customs of the Arabs.
Among the Arabs an interestins de
partment of woman's duty is dairy
work. Tl is. like all oluer operations,
i- carried out on an old-fashioned and
patriarchal plan. To make butter, for
instance, a small sheepskin is Riled
witn milk and tied to a ring in the
wall. The woman then sits flat on
the tiiHir and rocks it to and fro till
little balls of butter begin to form
within. These grow larger and larger
and accumulate and are finally
brought out as one big lump. The
remaining milk is then boiled on the
tire with bits of meat. The male
members of the family now come? to
gether, a large dish of rooked rice is
placed before them and the boiled
milk poured over it. Then, making
balls of the mixture with his hands,
each member quickly swallows his
share and rises to wash his hands.
This done, the girls and mother sit
down and eat what the men are
pleased to leave.
Why "Can Not" Is Popular.
"Have you ever noticed." said the
niPii who finds fault, "how many peo
ple avoid the contraction 'can t' nowa
days, and make use of the two words
'can not?' I have been so much
struck by the prevalence of the Jitter
expression that I took pains to inquire
into the cause of it.
"I find that many people have adopt
ed the double term because, having
been brought up in a locality where
the short sound of a prevailed, they
find it almost impossible to twist
their tongues around 'cahn't. and
since they believe that plain, every
day 'can't' stamps them as being of
inferior origin, they cultivate 'can
not.'
"That requires no short 'a. and al
though its persistent use may savor of
affectation, it strikes the persons who
can not get around 'cahn't' as a great
improvement on the short 'a' 'can't.'"
Threw the Judge Off.
Mortimer Menpes. the English artist,
in a recent book on India tells of the
burial conduct of some British sol
diers toward the natives. He writes:
"One day a subaltern got into a first
class railway carriage and found sit
ting there a 'colored gentleman. In
a fit of rage he seized the poor man
iy the shoulder and shouted out to
him. 'Out you go. you black beast!'
pitched him and his portmanteaus on
the platform. This, to his great as
tonishment, caused considerable dis
turbance: and when he inquired what
the people meant by putting them
selves out over a black man. an Eng

advance on the stage with his mighty
body and immovable face vrith the
enormous open mouth. But when he
lifted "P his voice and began to speak
with the sonorous clang of the tragic

among the public. All rushed out of

Physician's Ideas Thit May Dc Worth

A physician gives these common

COULD NOT BE DECEIVED.
Russian Peasants Did Not Understand
a Polite Conductor.
An Englishman traveling in Russia
furnishes the following incidents to a
Iondon paper an incident which he
personally witnessed and which he
says "shows better than volumes of
description the customs and social
conditions of Russian peasants: "At
a railway station the train is on the
point of starting. As usual in Russia,
the bell rings three times before de
parture, to warn the passengers to
take their reats. At the first ring
the chief conductor, seeing on the
platform a group o peasants standing
humbly and cautiously together, says
very politely to them: "Gentlemen,
the first signal is given; please take
your places."
One of the ueasants, turning to his
comrades, says: "Dimitri, Ivan, Ste
ven, do you hear? The master tells
us to enter the train." "Oh, you stu
pid," says another. "Are you a gen
tleman? You heard him say 'gentle
men.' He invited tho gentry." There
is a second ring of the bell. The con
ductor calls, hurriedly and angrily:
"Please, gentlemen, take your seats;
you hear the second signal."
The same peasant says to the
others: "It is for us. We must take
out seats. The train will start." "You
ass!" says his companion. "Do you
think you are called a gentleman?
Were you ever a gentleman?" The
third ring of the bell is heard. The
conductor, losing ms temper and
hustling the peasants forward rries,
"Idiots! Pigs! Beasts! Do you hear
or not? Be off and take your seats!"
"That is for us," say the peasants.
"Dimitri, Ivan, hurry up. We must
take our seats."
Told of Disraeli.
Disraeli once told a lady that two
possessions which were indispensable
to other people he had always done
without. "I made," she said, "every
kind of conjecture, but without suc
cess, and on my asking him to en
lighten me he solemnly answered
that they were a watch and an um
brella. 'But how do you manage, I
asked, 'if there happens to be no clock
in the room and you want to know the
time?' 'I ring for a servant,' was the
magniloquent reply. 'Well,' I contin
ued, 'and what about the umbrella?
What do you do, for instance, if you
are in the park and are caught in a
sudden shower?' 'I take refuge,' he
replied, with a smile of excessive gal
lantry, 'under the umbrella of the first
pretty woman I meet.' "

A CONSCIENCE CAMPAIGN.
The elections of 11)03 are past and the
campaign of li04 is upon us. What
shall the democratic party do? Experi
ence has shown that compromises and
evasions aro as useless from the stand
point of expediency as they are vicious
from the standpoint of principle. And,
moreover, a defeat which follows eva
sion and compromise leaves the party
weaker for future conliicts, while a
fight for principles scatters seed which
will bring a harvest later. In 1890
the democratic element in the demo
cratic party, after a fair and honest
contest at the primaries, won a deci
sice victory and obtained control of
the party organization. The pluto
cratic clement of the party deserted
and ever since that time has been plot
ting against the party. It threatens
defeat if its dictation is resisted and
is powerless to give victory when the
party yields to its clc-mands. It is plan
ning now to give the democratic nomi
nation to a representative of corporate
wealth whose campaign would be made
on money furnished by the trusts and
whose administration, if he won. would
be controlled by Wall street, as Mr.
Cleveland's last administration was. To
defeat this scheme and keep the party
true to the interests of the people will
require another contest, but this effort
Is worth making. In the campaigns
of 1S9; and J90o the party had to bear
the sins of the Cleveland administra
tion and another surrender would in
crease the odium and postpone the day
of reform. The party must be saved
from humiliation and disgrace. Six
millions of voters, if fearless and ag
gressive, will soon win a victory for
good government and they can only be
made fearless and aggressive by the
resolution that comes from deep con
victions and high purpose. The demo
cratic party cannot win a democratic
victory by the use of money, even if
it were base enough to try it, for
such a victory would not be demo
cratic if by any possibility it was
achieved. If the people are to secure
needed reforms they must conduct a
conscience campaign; they must use
honest methods and appeal to honest
men who desire honest government.
There is far more hope of success if the
time is spent explaining democratic
principles to conscientious republicans
than there is if the time is frittered
away in quarreling with men who call
themselves democrats, but whose sym
pathies are with organized greed.
Votes that are for sale go to the high
est uiuuer, and democracy's puny purse
cannot measure itself against the over
flowing chest of the republican party.
But in an appeal to the higher and
better elements of the human heart
the democratic party would have little
competition from the republican lead
ers. The time is ripe for the conscience
campaign. Wiii you enlist? Can you
be counted on. not for a year, but un
til our nation is redeemed from plutoc
racy and made "a government of the
people, by the people, for the people."
Ixyal democrats have made note of
the fact that it is the republican pa
pers that talk loudest about the neces
sity of democracy getting together on
"old time democratic principles"
meaning alleged democratic principles
principles that have nothing demo
cratic about them except the label.
The corporation papers sagely in
form us that the elections point to the
nomination of Hanna on the republican
ticket and the nomination of Cleveland
on the democratic ticket. With Hanna
and Cleveland ns candidates the cam
paign would be lifeless. Wall street
would say. "Both are good men."
Mr. Knox, however, did not need the
warning that the trusts must not be
disturbed. Mr. Knox has never shown
any disposition to disturb them.

son is politically dead because he has

Comment.
NOT AT Al-d, HRALu
The Wall Street Journal says: "The
men who are opposed to Mr. Roosevelt
because he believed it to be his duty
to enforce tho Sherman anti-trust law
may believe that it is an injury to their
interests, but they will find the injury
is only apparent, not real." To be sure,
the Journal did not mean to be really
candid. As a matter of fact. Mr. Roose
velt has not made a serious effort to
enforce the Sherman anti-trust law.
If the Journal really thinks otherwise,
it might explain, what no spokesman
of Mr. Roosevelt has ever yet under
taken to explain, how it happens that
the president has failed to direct the
enforcement of the criminal provision
which is the chief feature of the Sher
man anti-trust law. The Journal un
wittingly stated the truth when it said
thr.t the trust magnates will find that
the injury to trusts brought about by
Roosevelt's "fight" against them is
"not real."
KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING.
The Wall Street Journal reminds the
members of the American Bankers' as
sociation that "when they recommend
ed that deposits of government money
be made in the national banks secured
by securities acceptable to the secre
tary of the treasury, they substantially
advocated an idea which, carried to its
last limits, would make the government
a partner in all the business enter
prises of the country." The Journal
need not imagine that it can frighten
the gentlemen who adopted this resolu
tion. They evidently knew what they
were doing and it may be taken for
granted that they would not be per
suaded from their plan by the claim
that it tends to socialism. They knew
that plan was to their own personal
advantage and they will doubtless in
sist upon it regardless of any label
that may be applied to it.
"PROSPERITY" AND PROSPERITY.
With crashes in Wall street, bank
failures in Baltimore and Pittsburg,
runs on savings institutions in St.
Louis, men and women complaining
that the cost of the necessaries of life
having increased to such an extent
that they cannot make both ends meet,
there is not great encouragement for
republican editorial writers to prate
that the boasted prosperity is general
and genuine. And yet there are re
publican papers whose editors do not
hesitate to palm off upon their read
ers some of these well-worn prosperity
editorials.
A number of statesmen who saw a
terrible wrong in European recognition
of the seceding southern states are
convinced of the righteousness of Pan

that Panama's secession promises to

of 540,000.000.
Governor Garvin, the democratic re
former, has been re-elected in Rhode
Island. Why don't the reorganizers
take him up and boom him for the

the bosses.
Our business with the Philippines,

year with Cleveland." Win what?
"Is Wall street hedging?" queries
the New York World. If it is. it is

should be busy caulking.
Reports from Manila indicate that

Doubtless the name of McClellan
has been recalled to the president's
mind since the anniversary of An

elected him governor.

AN OLD TIMER.
Has Had Experiences.
A woman who has used Potum
Food Coffee since it came; upon tho
market eight years age knews from
experience the necessity of using Pos
tum in place of coffee if one values
health and a steady brain.
She says: "At the time Po?:tum was
first put on the market I was suffer
ing from nervous dyspepsia and my
physician had repeatedly told me not
to use tea or coffee. Finally I de
cided to take his advice and try Pos
tum and got a sample and had it care
fully prepared, finding it delicious to
the taste. So I continued its use and
very soon Its beneficial effects con
vinced me of it3 value, for I got well
of my nervousness and dyspepsia.
"My husband had been drinking cof
fee all hi. life until it had affected
his nerves terribly. I persuaded him
to shift to Postum and it was easy to
get him to make the change for the
Postum is so delicious. It certainly
worked wonders for him.
"We soon learned that Postum dcei
tiot exhilarate or depress end doe3
not stimulate, but steadily and hon
estly strengthens the nerves and the
stomach. To make a long story short
our entire family have now used Pos
tum for eight years with completely
satisfying results as shown in our
fine condition of health, and we have
noticed a rather unexpected improve
ment in brain and nerve power."
Name given by Postum Co., Battlo
Creek, Mich.
Increased brain and nerve power al
ways follow the use of Postum In
place of coffee, sometimes in a very
marked manner.
