But the very fact that, no such proceed ings were brought convinced me that lie was not guilty, and if not guilty he I was entitled to a second term if he wauted it. It's a pity that people will not stop to think in tines like this but men are gregarious animals-they herd together -and only a very small pereentage of ihlemlt thinik at all, it. requires but a small amount of thought, to convince one that this whole thing is something groueu up by the "big interests" to gether with their political tools and tey are going to skin a carcass and he people is the careass to be skinned.

The sword making of Japan is per aps the most curious in the whole -orld. In that country swords said to c equal to those of Toledo or Damas us are made by a special series of rocesses, but a feature of the industry the religious ceremonial that accom anies every process. On the walls of the huts in which be work is done are representations of be god of the sword makers and the hief goddess of the Shintos. There re also bits of paper and wisps of traw, charms to keep away evil spir :s. No female is allowed to enter the lace. as the presence of women is sup osed to be conducive to the appear nee of demons, who would certainly ring disaster to the sword's mission. 'raver is offered before the work be-! ins. and various religious rites must e performed before any one of the' words can be declared to have been ell and truly made. The last thing that takes place after be polishing and sharpening of the words is the ofi'ering of them one by ne to the sword god to be blessed. 'he weapon is placed in front of the. akemona on the wall, with an offering f saki, rice and sweetmeats, after rhich prayer scrolls are read and a lessing upon the work is invoked. ,ondon Globe. COOKING VEGETABLES. Ise Uncovered Utensils Except For Dried Beans or Peas. Two mistakes are commonly made i preparing vegetables for the table: The first of these is the practice of eeping the vessel tightly covered dur 1g the entire process of cooking. This done usually with an idea of pre enting the dissemination of unpleas nt odors through the house. But the ffeet of it is directly the opposite. The ors confined within the vessel grow istead morc rank with the chemical hanges that take place, and when the essel is opened occasionally, as it iust be. these extremely disagreeable dors escape. Besides this, the vege ibles themselves are made less di estible when cooked in this way, with ae exception of dried beans or dried eas. The second mistake commonly made ; that of cooking vegetables too long. astead of being made more tender by rolonged cooking many vegetables are lade unpalatable and indigestible. abbage, for instance, if cooked the ght length of time, is pleasing of avor and for most persons entirely igestible, but if cooked too long it auses indigestion and loses its fla7or. -Garden and Farm Almanac. Held on to the Bills. A prominent minstrel man says that ot long ago an attache of his show ras sent out in a certain town to give Dme handbills or heralds to boys for istribution. The man found only one oy willing to work. He didn't deem ; necessary to explain to the boy that ae bills were to be distributed about >wn. IIe took It for granted that the oy knew. The youngster took the rinted slips of paper, and the man ae him a quarter and left. Half an our later the showman chanced to ass along the street and saw the boy tanding on the sidewalk, crying. "What's the matter?" asked the man. 'he boy gave a couple of final sobs nd, wiping his eyes on his sleeve, "A. man jist come along an' took one f my bills."-New York Telegraph.

Every year about the middle f April the Nile becomes covered with green scum. a genuine duck pond c-um. It strikes Khartum about April 0, and it floats on down to Cairo-a olid scum that is often 500 miles long ithout a break. This scum is made f minute lives, algae. It has an of ensive smell. It is, in fact, as of ensive to the nose as to the eye. How reen the Nile is then! On account of bis scum the expression, Nile green, rose. But it isn't the waters of the lile that are green.
