Affiliations to Vote A foaturo of tho primary li-w which the general public Is more or less un familiar with, makes It nccesnry for thevotor to name his party uTUIatlon. This Is necessary because tho lirst election is now known ns tho closed primary. A voter must select a politi cal party, because party nominees a"e kept on separate ballots, and but one ballot Is delivered to a vot3i The first primary In this state mod tho blanket ballot, containing all candi dates and all parlies. That form has been dono away with, and It U now necessary to announce a party affili ation in order to voto at n primary election.

When the prospective owner of a small bouse determines at Inst to build tho home to which he has been aspiring for, pcrbnps, many years, lie faces tho consideration with the realization of a complex problem- the necessity of har monizing tho Ideal that has formed In his years of untlelpatlon with the stern realities of the actual building. Con cisely stated, his problem Is this: To combine tho Ave desirables space, charm, distinction, utility and comfort with tho sixth, economy, within tho apparently limited nllowance of the small house. Sometimes he succeeds In this. Generally bo yields to tho dif ficulties presented and sacrlllces one or more of the desirable qualities, thankful to get a finished house after all tho dissension ensuunt with build ing progress. When, however, n homo builder succeeds In the combining of all these qualities in the construction of his house tho achievement Is worthy of record. Baymond Comstock hi Countryside Magazine. Never Eat What You Dislike. I am constrained to protest against the advice given luothers to obllgo their children to cat food which they dislike. Moat grown people hare tbeh likes and dislikes, and if It were pun ishmcnt to them to eat a despised ar ticle how much more so It is to a child to whom small troubles loom as tragedies! The child's distaste should not be discussed, simply ignored until ho lias forgotten how much he bated n certain article. There arc so many good and nourishing things that if ono Is nt nil disliked how much bct- er to substitute something else, there- iy avoiding Issues and friction, which every one knows arc harmful to a hi id's nerves and health and disposi tion as well. And, as for letting a child go without his needed nourishment till next meal If lie refuses bno nrtlcle. tho injustice of It Is too apparent to need comment. Woman's Home Compan ion. Big Guns Not New. Modern howitzers and siege guns are giants of destructlvcncss, yet. making allowance for time and exxpeiicnce, we must still admire tho good old burghers of Ghent, who COO years and more ago turned out nn Iron "bom- barde" that weighed thirteen tons. This prototype of tho up to date slego gun had a bore twenty-five inches In diameter. Out of it was projected a granite ball that weighed 700 pounds. Bronze guns as big were cast half a century Inter at Constantinople. And when only a little over 100 years since an earlier British fleet was fighting its way Into tho Dardanelles these big guns crippled six of the English men-of-war and killed or wounded 120 of those on board. One gun of this typu weighed eighteen and three-qunrter tons, had a twenty-five Inch boro arid fired a 07- pound stone shot. New York World. Origin of the Gypsies. When tho gypsies first appeared In England in tho fifteenth century the name gypsy was given to them by tho English people, who believed them to havo come from Egypt. 'The French, by a similar mistake, called them Bo hemians. Put a careful study of this race, and especially of their langunge, shows that they came originally from India. Tho gypsy language is derived from the Sanskrit, as arc the other Ar yan Inngunges of India. A similar error was made by tho English when they called a distinctively American bird a turkey, under the impression that It was au Importation from tho Ottoman empire, and by tho French when they called the same bird coq d'lndc. be lieving that It came from India. Christian Herald. Painter and Pawnbroker. Mr. Frank Prangwyn, A. B. A knows his Paris ns well as most, and also a good many inoro out of the way parts of the world besides Bussla, Spain, Algiers, Turkey and the rest which ho has visited In the pursuit of Ids art, more especially during his ear lier days, when he was less allluonr than today, In which .latter connection he once had an amusing experience. During a financial crisis ho sought, to effect a loan of $."0 on the security o'f one of his own pictures. Tho pawn broker offered $2.50, to the artist s in dlgnatlon. "Why. the frame alone Is worth more than that." he protested, to be mot with the crushing reply. know It is, and It Is on the frame that I am lending the money." Westiuln ster Gazette.
