EDITORIALS A New Book Just Out. We received last week a copy of the new book of entitled "Dedication of Monuments to Iowa Soldiers" from the Secretary of State. It gives the history and illustrations of the monuments erected by the State of Iowa to her soldiers that participated in the battles and siege of Vicksburg, Chattanooga, Shilo and Andersville prison, etc., with the addresses delivered at each of these places. It is a very beautiful book of 300 pages, printed on heavy book paper, and highly illustrated. Any old soldier can secure one by making application to the Secretary of State, Hon. W. C. Hayward. Colored Soldiers Not Guilty. Last week the news clicked over the wires of the associated press bureaus that the colored soldiers who was accused of shooting up Brownsville, August 13, 1906, was not guilty, as the committees investigation shows; and President Theodore Roosevelt has sent a special message to congress, asking that body to enact a special law whereby those of the three dismissed companies B, C and D, who wish to re instate might do so by taking a certain oath and receive both credit and full pay for time dismissed. This is a glorious vindication of loyalty, worth and honesty, while justice was trampled down awhile. Yet she arose under the steady hand of that brave diplomatic veteran, Senator Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio, whose persistent effort and patriotic duty he owed to himself and country, not to see a gross injustice perpetrated upon a down trodden race. The victory is won and we can say all hail to the just God that ruleth the universe. Me thinks I can hear thousands of our readers as they read this good news say amen. No sensible sane man believed for a moment that all of those men were guilty and that the investigation shows none to guilty. It is good to be exonerated for the southerener is always trying to malign and falsify our good name to the world. Let us give Senator Foraker credit for his trumphant victory, and give Roosevelt credit for being manly enough to admit his hasty actions and ask congress to re-instate them that spirit is the spirit of a true hero to admit his error. Republican State Convention The Iowa Republican State convention met here Wednesday, to select delegates to attend the National Republican convention. Hon. W. H. Byers, Attorney General of Iowa, was temporary chairman and delivered a fine address; Rev. F. W. Hodgson, pastor of Plymouth Congregational church. In the afternoon Hon. G. G.

As race commissioner to The Young Men's Lecture club of this city it has come to my attention through the columns of The Iowa State Bystander under date of March 6, 1908, that the Negro Lyceum of Des Moines, Iowa, and the Douglass Society, of St Joseph, Mo., engaged in a public debate on Friday, Feb 28, 1908, in the city of Des Moines, on the question, towit: "Resolved that the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States should be repealed." On the surface it appears that the public discussion of the repeal of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States by any body of colored men is an exhibition of bad taste and very poor judgment. The white south has long and loudly clamored for the repeal of the fifteenth amendment and the public discussion of such a question by our people stamps us before the world as being in a state of doubt concerning the justness of the fifteenth amendment where we have every reason to bitterly oppose any attempt at its destruction. Possibly the parties to the discussion are in a position to defend their cause? Respectfully, Alonzo Draine. Keokuk, Iawa, March 11, 1908. ENTERPRISE NEWS.

Then said the visitor from Boston: "My canine friend, I am exceedingly interested in the hypothesis that has been presented to me to the effect that your understanding of human speech is perfect, and in order to test this matter I wish that you would be good enough to bark three times in rapid succession as an indication that your comprehension of my request is in all ways clear and lucid."

CUT FLOWERS, FUNGAL SHELLS AND ANGELS Iowa Pp. 244 Munl. 414 Cast an eye into the gay world; what see we, for the most part, but a set of querulous, emaciated, fluttering, fantastical beings, worn out in the keen pursuit of pleasure; creatures that know, own, condemn, deplore, yet still pursue their own infellicity? The decayed monuments of error! The thin remains of what is called delight! Early Rising. As a rule, long-lived persons have been early risers, because they have been good sleepers. By "good sleep" is meant sleep that is sweet and sound, without dreaming; the body recuperates wholly. Those who love to rise early generally are of this sort. They have strong will and good health to begin with. Curious Punishment At Kotta, in Saxony, persons who fall to pay their taxes each year have their names published in a list which hangs up in all restaurants and saloons of the city.

Coldest Part of the Day. The coldest period of the day is said to be a few minutes after sunrise. This is due to the fact that, when the sun first strikes the earth, it causes the evaporation of a chilling moisture. Motherhood.

To Procure Sleep Twenty grains of carbonate of soda taken in a little water the last thing on going to bed will frequently procure sleep when all sedatives have failed.

There are some very pretty women who don't understand the law of the road with regard to handsome faces. Nature and custom agree in conceding to the landlord the distinct looks at every comely female countenance, without any infraction of courtey or the sentiment of respect—Holmes. Bishop Potter says he "believes in the new woman." Fire Chief Crocker led the fighting at a big fire in New York on night eight to the dress, including pumps and silk hat. He was dressed for a dinner when the alarm was given. A woman is more influenced by what she divides by than what she is told—De Lenclos. A woman who is guided by the head and not by the heart is a social pestier. A woman without a laugh in her is the greatest bore in existence—Thackeray.

There is nothing a man can do in a wife so much as her having more senses in the himself—Fielding. The Chronic Kicker is thoroughly convinced that April will more than make up for the bad weather we are experiencing in a wife so much as her firmness is very often obstinacy.

A big diamond firm which failed the other day blames its trouble on "the public's craze for automobiles." The old saying may, therefore, be changed to "Stick to me and you'll ride in an automobile." A New York burglar, as part of his foot, carried off 200 neckties. His arrest and conviction quickly followed, and now he is extremely sorry because not even one of the neckties was taken to the airport. An octopus measuring ten foot six inches in length, while being killed at Tooradin, Victoria, twined a tentacle so firmly around the foot of one of its captor that the membrane had to be cut. The officer imagines that her sovereignty has been restored in Manchuria, yet it is a fact that the South Manchurian Railway refuses to carry Chinese mails unless they are sent through the Japanese post-office, and international mails must be to be Chinese inland correspondence. A horse led at the funeral of a cavalry officer is a relic of the custom when a charger was sacrificed at the grave, an officer led the horse from the grave, and it was there the brisk of grave, and it was there slain and thrown in upon the coffin. The last occurrence of this kind took place at Treves, Germany, in 1781. In years long past, German was cared for the greatest smoker on earth. He is so no longer.

We declare unequivocally for protection the guarded principle of the republican party, and we affirm our unalterable purpose to maintain it. "Events have confirmed the wisdom of the makers of the national platform of 1904, wherein the party pledged to work together when conditions change that the public interests demand their alteration." In accordance with this declaration of four years ago the r publican party of Iowa endorses a "retention of the platform year in behalf of 'Revision of the tariff by a special session of the next congress ensuring the maintenance of the true principle of protection by imposing the difference between the cost of production at home and abroad, together with a reasonable profit, to the end that without excessive duties American manufacturers, farmers, producers may have adequate protection." "Resolved, that we will favor the nomination of William H. Taft by the republican convention to assuidence in his ability, his independent manhood, his comprehension of large and vital public questions, his uncompromising integrity and his unending courage to be the leader of the republicans of this state, who have never failed to endorse the official record of President Roosevelt. Therefore, we unequivocally instruct delegates to elate-large to vote for William H. Taft and we earnestly request them and our district delegates to use their united influence in support of the Taft candidacy. We are confident that the retention of Senator William B. Allison in his place; that we do this because he has brought great distinction to the state, because he has served the whole country and has a singular identity" ability, because of his present commanding position in the senate and in the counsels of the nation, and because he has strength in all situations and all emergencies.

An Opening For A Bright Young Man: "Say, boss, you inquired a knowing young fellow from Chicago, recently arrived at a new Western town, "you have got a hotel in this one-horse city." "You bet we have!" replied a native, cying the new importation with little favor. "Have you a postoffice?" "You bet." "A bank?" "Certainly." "A grocery?" "Two of em." "A groceries store?" "Three of ten." "Then," exclaimed the man from the East impatient, "is there nothing left for me to open." "There is, replied his informant, as he is received from his pocket with one hand and pointed to the door with the other; "If you are not out of this in two seconds you will have a mighty good chance of opening our new cemetery!" Whales and serpents are voiceless. So, also, are the porcupine, the armadillo, and the graffite.

The blue-grass region of Kentucky and Tennessee was the first national park and game and forest preserve in America.

They forbade any agriculture in all that great region, it became known as the "hunting grounds." PERUNA EDITORIAL NO.2. Dr. Hartman has claimed for many years that Peruna is an EXCELLENT CATARRH REMEDY. Some of the doctor's critics have disputed the doctor's claim to the efficacy of Peruna. Since the ingredients of Peruna are no longer a secret, what do the medical authorities say concerning the remedies of which Peruna is composed? Take, for instance, the ingredient HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS, OR GOLDEN SEAL. The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of depressed mucous membranes, chronic whititus (masal catarrh), atonic dyspnea (catarrh of the stomach), chronic intestinal catarrh, catarrh jaunceia (catarrh of the liver), and in diseased mucous membranes of the pelvic organs. It is also recommended for the treatment of various forms of diseases peculiar to women. Another ingredient of Peruna, CORYDALIS FORMOSA, is classed in the United States Dispensatory as a tonic. CEDRON SEEDS is another ingredient of Peruna, an excellent drug that has been very largely overlooked by the medical profession for the past fifty years. THE SEEDS ARE TO BE FOUND IN VERY FEW DRUG STORIES. The United States Dispensatory says of the action of cedron that it is used as a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysentery, and in intermittent diseases as a SUBSTITUTE FOR QUININE. OIL OF COPAIBA, another ingredient of Peruna, is classed by the United States Dispensatory as a mild stimulant and diuretic. It acts on the stomach and intestinal tract. It acts as a stimulant on the genito-urinary membranes. Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dystenteria and diarrhea, and some chronic diseases of the liver and kidneys. These opinions as to the ingredients of Peruna are held by all writers on the subject, including Bartholow and Scudder. OF HYDRASTIS, BARTHOLOW SAYS it is to applicatitia mouth), follicular pharyngitis (catarrh or the head). This writer classes in atomic dyspepsia (chronic gastric starch of the gall duct, catarrh of the tonic Bright's disease), catarrh of the gans. BA as an excellent remedy for chronicitis (catarrh of the bronchial tubes). UERB, an ingredient of Peruna, the circulation of the blood. Usepharyngitis (catarrh of the pharynx), membranes of the throat. It also repspepsia (catarrh of the stomach), and in catarrh of the bladder, prostatorrhea. ANTS, one of the most authoritative English language, in commenting upon that it acts on the pneumococcal and secretions of the mucous membranes in Kentucky, Tennessee and Carolina, pancreas for many disorders, including digestion. DR. SCUDDER regards it of the lungs, heart disease and asthma to show to any cancid mind that Pech authorizes, that command the authorities obtainable, brought together catarrh remedy of the highest efficacy to substantiate this claim by ample REAL AUTHORITIES IN THE WORLD. (catarrh of the mucous surfaces of the mouth), follicular pharyngitis (catarrh of the pharynx), chronic coryza (catarrh of the head). This writer classes hydratis as a stomachic tonic, useful in atonic dyspepsia (chronic gastric catarrh), catarrh of the duodenum, catarrh of the gall duct, catarrh of the intestines, catarrh of the kidneys (chronic Bright's disease), catarrh of the bladder, and catarrh of other pelvic organs. BARTHOLOW REGARDS COOPAIRA as an excellent remedy for chronic catarrh of the bladder, chronic bronchitis (catarrh of the bronchial tubes). BARTHOLOW STATES THAT CUBER, an ingredient of Peruna, promotes the appetite and digestion, increases the circulation of the blood. Useful in chronic nasal catarrh, follicular pharyngitis (catarrh of the pharynx), increasing the tonicity of the mucous membranes of the throat. It also relieves hoarseness. Useful in atonic dyspepsia (catarrh of the stomach), and in chronic catarrh of the colon and rectum, catarrh of the bladder, prostatorea, and chronic bronchial affections. MILLSPAUGH, MEDICINAL PLANTS, one of the most authoritative works on medicinal herbs in the English language, in commenting upon COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS, says that it acts on the pneumogastric and motor nerves. It increases the secretions of the mucous membranes in general. In the mountains of Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Carolina, collisions canadensis is considered a panacea for many disorders, including headache, colic, cramp, dropsy and indigestion. DR. SCUDDER regards it highly as a remedy in chronic diseases of the lungs, heart disease and asthma. These citations ought to be sufficient to show to any candid mind that Peruna is a catarrh remedy. Surely, such herbal remedies, that command the enthusiastic confidence of the highest authorities obtainable, brought together in proper combination, ought to make a catarrh remedy of the highest efficacy. This is our claim, and we are able to substantiate this claim by ample quotations from the HIGHEST MEDICAL AUTHORITIES IN THE WORLD. The Only Way.

After a building has been painted long enough for a weather test, it is easy to tell if the paint used was made of pure White Lead or not. But such belated knowledge comes like locking the barn after the coil is stolen. What one wants is a test that will tell the quality of the paint before it and the labor of putting it on are paid for. Nature has provided a way in which genuine White Lead may be positively distinguished from adulterated or fake White Lead before you spend a cent on your painting. Pure White Lead is made from metallic lead, and, under intense heat, such as is produced by a blow-pipe, pure White Lead will resolve itself back into metallic lead. If, however, it is not genuine White Lead, or if it contains the slightest trace of adulteration, the change will not take place. Therefore the "blow-pipe" test is an absolute and final one. The National Lead Company are urging everyone interested in painting to make this test of paint before using it, and they guarantee that the pure White Lead sold under their "Dutch Boy Painter" trade-mark will always prove absolutely pure under the "blow-pipe" or any other test. To make it easy for you to perform the experiment they will send you free upon request a blow-pipe and everything necessary for you to make the test, together with a valuable booklet on paint.

"My business?" repeated the witness laconically. "Oh, I have lots of business." "Answer the question," said the lawyer. "What is your business?"

EYESIGHT WAS IN DANGER From Terrible Eczema—Baby's Head Mass of Itching Rash and Sores —Disease Cured by Cuticura. "Our little girl was two months old when she got a rash on her face and within five days her face and head were all one sore. We used different remedies but it got worse instead of better and we thought she would turn blind and that her ears would fall off. She suffered terribly, and would scratch until the blood came. This went on until she was five months old, then I had her under our family doctor's care, but she continued to grow worse. He said it was eczema. When she was seven months old I started to use the Cuticle Remedies and in two months our baby was a different girl. You could not see a sign of a sore and she was as fair as a newborn baby. She has not had a sign of the eczema since. Mrs. H. F. Budke, LeSueur Minn, Apr. 15 and May 2, 017. Good Exe. Cuchuillin! Who can set bounds to the scaring imagination of the Celt? An enthusiastic New Yorker recently watching a game of hurling—which resembles lacrosse—between stalwart teams, was moved to ask President Conway of the Irish Athletic association how far a good man could drive the ball. “Well, I’ll tell you.” responded Mr. Conway, with a twinkle in his eye that contradicted his serious speech. “In the good old days when Cuchuhillin was champion of Ireland, the king and all the nobility were assembled at the great games of Tallin. Cuchuhillin struck up a hurley ball into the sky, and then walked off to his pavilion and took a drink of potheen, and strolled back to the spot in good time to catch the ball on his hurley.”—Harper’s Weekly. What's a Widower? Is a widower a married or a single man? This question continually crops up and it is continually being answered both ways. Certainly a widower is married—he is not a bachelor. That is one answer. Certainly, on the other hand, no matter what the man once was, he is single now. That is the other answer. Thus in all match games of single against married men—games of hockey, football, baseball, cricket—the poor widower is tossed from one side to the other like a shuttleclock. The solution depends solely upon his skill. No Chance to Kick. Ostend—DOES money talk? pa- Pa—No, my son.

The nervous system of the musician is often very sensitive and any habit like coffee drinking may so upset the nerves as to make regular and necessary daily practise next to impossible. "I practice from seven to eight hours a day and study Harmony two hours," writes a Mich. music student. "Last September I was so nervous I could only practise a few minutes at a time, and mother said I would have to drop my music for a year. "This was terribly discouraging as I couldn't bear the thought of losing a whole year of study. Becoming convinced that my nervousness was caused largely by coffee, and seeing Postum so highly spoken of, I decided I would test it for a while. "Mother followed the directions carefully and I thought I had never tasted such a delicious drink. We drank Postum every morning instead of coffee, and by November I felt more like myself than for years, and was ready to resume my music. "I now practise as usual, do my studying and when my day's work is finished I am not any more nervous than when I began. "I cannot too highly recommend Postum to musicians who practise half a day. My father is a physician and recommends Postum to his patients. Words cannot express my appreciation for this most valuable health beverage, and experience has proven its superiority over all others." "There's a Reason."

BANKERS CAUSED BIG PANIC Blind Oklahoma Senator Takes Up Cudgels Doubts Wisdom of President's Actions. Washington, D. C., March 20.—Resuming in the senate yesterday his unfinished speech on the Aldrich currency bill, Senator La Follette directed himself to the charge made in his remarks on Tuesday that the recent financial stringency was started by great bankers and financiers, declaring that since he spoke on Tuesday he had secured additional information proving that his charge was correct. He read a letter signed by H. R. Vermilla, auditor of the Washington Life Insurance company, calling upon an agent to send premiums, collected weekly, to New York and he said such letters were sent to agents of that company all over the country. The Washington Life Insurance companies" said Mr. La Follette "controlled by identical and allied interests at the same time gave similar instructions to their state managers throughout the country." Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, interrupted to ask whether, in view of the charge made by the senator from Wisconsin, the president was justified in congratulating the men who brought on the paule. "Does the senator think," he said, "must President Roosevelt and Secretary Bush not stay actors in that performance or at that moment they congratulated the chief actors when it was over." He quoted from a letter sent by President Roosevelt to Secretary Coryleon. Senator La Follette deprecated the idea of bringing partisan politics into the discussion, and said he did not propose to be drawn into criticism of the president, who had done the best he could to relieve the situation, and he did not momentarily allow a moment to attempt the punishment of the incendiaries who had started the conflagration the president sought to put out. "Whatever the agencies were back of that panic," said Mr. La Follette, "whatever the purposes were behind it, the president and his secretary of the treasury were confronted with a condition. The panic was on!" declared the senator in trade tones that rang through the chamber. "The panic was on! I do not know how the president regarded it. He was sitting there in the White house. He was a man who had faced all manner of dangers without flinching, but he was confronted with a situation, and the panic was on! He saw that the business was put in peril, and the president was put as the head of the government, and to his secretary, as the head of the treasury department. Where else could the money have been sent to stop the panic, no matter what influences might have been behind this bill." Mr. Gore said he justified the president "in standing and delivering to these pirates and depositing with them the people's money when their dagger was at his threat. But I cannot," he said, "excuse him for congratulating the pirates as public spirit, benefactors, "excuse the president, the governor, the treasurer, kindled the fire, but I can hardly go so far as to approve his proclamation of them as the deliverers of the country." Mr. Gore stated that he heartily agreed with the senator from Wisconsin, "that Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Morgan brought on this country a panic which had ripened to the point of falling, but he did not think that they should be hailed as benefactors and aid." Referring to the bill as originally reported, Mr. La Follette declared with a suggestion of a sneer that the railroad bonds had been "whisked out of the measure. "We are not through with that proposition," he added. "It will appear again and again until finally it is overwhelmingly beaten or until it is worked in and engrafted upon the currency system of this country." He then discussed at some length his resolution for the valuation of railway property which, he said, had been sent to the committee on interstate commerce, but was not acted upon. There was quite a large attendance of democratic senators in their places, but our senators represented republicans. Occasional conversations senators of the republican side caused the senator from Wisconsin to discontinue the reading of his remarks. On one occasion he remarked: "If there is any comment on my remarks I would be glad to have them made so audible that, I can hear them." Senator La Follette spoke more than two hours and a half. THREATEN PENSION OFFICE The House Votes to Abolish the Des Moines Agency. Washington, D. C. March 20.—Once more the Des Moines pension agency is threatened with abolishment. By a vote of 86 to 139 yesterday the house rejected the amendment of Representative Taylor of Ohio to the pension appropriation bill intended to restore the agencies, which had been abolished in 1970, and voted to abolish the agencies at Des Moines and seventeen others and to concentrate all pension business of the country at Washington. It is not yet certain, however, that this action will result in the abolishment of the Des Molines agency. The bill has yet to be passed on by the senate, and that body may take views on the matter, and should be retained. In the last congress the house voted to abolish the Des Molines and other agencies, but the senate restored them, and it is quite possible the senate will take a similar stand this year. It is plain however, that in view of the house sentiment in favor of abolishment it will be wiped out, and the most when the agencies will be wiped out and the business will be centered in this city.

Ellwanger, who was formerly a resident of Green Mountain, Iowa, says: "The climate in summer is ideal for growing grain, long, clear days of sunshine, no bad storms. We never need to guard against cyclones; I never saw a better climate in my life. We made more money during the season of 1906 than any previous five years in central Iowa—one of the best districts in the state." But Mr. Ellwanger was a resident of the town, and it might be more interesting to read what a farmer has to say about Western Canada. From hundreds of letters all filled with words of praise, recounting success in Western Canada there has been one selected. It is as follows: To Whom This May Concern: I moved to this address February 3, 1907, from Montgomery, Iowa, and took a homestead 35 miles north of Paynton. It was cold when I moved here but it did not stay cold long; it broke up the 8th of February, and was not so cold after that but the spring was late on account of the heavy snow fall, but in spite of the late spring I saw better grain than I ever saw in the states, raised this year. I helped a non finish sowing oats the 4th of July and they made fair oats. In a good year oats will go 100 bushels to the acre and wheat as 25 to 60; all root crops do well here. I saw potatoes this year that measured 11½ inches one way and 18½ the other in conference. This is a fine stock country; hay in abundance, good water, plenty of fuel free and plenty of building material — and the government gives us timber to saw into lumber and we can get it sawed for about $6.00 per thousand. All small fruit grows wild here, then there are ducks, grouse, goose, pheasants, deer, moose, elk and fish in abundance. I was over to Turtle Lake yesterday where there is lots of fishing being done this winter. I saw about a carload of white fish in one pile. I gave 25 cents for 86 pounds of fish. What do you think of that, Brother Yankee? I think this is a fine place both to make money and to live. There was an old man up here visiting his brother-in-law. Now this man owns land close to Des Moines, Iowa, and is in good circumstances, but he took a homestead and says he will be contented if he can only put in the rest of his days in Canada. He would get up in the mormon and look out of the door and say: "Well, who wouldn't live in Canada?" Now I have been in 13 different states in the United States, and I never saw the chance that there is here for a man that has a little muscle and a little brains. Three cheers for Canada! (Signed) W.

Two years ago the Stockton mills were shipping 10,000 barrels a year to China. Now they are shipping only 4,000 VARIOUS KINDS OF COINAGE. Twenty-Six Different Monetary Units Are In Use. Twenty-six different monetary units are used by the 48 principal countries of the world. Thus, Great Britain uses the sovereign or pound sterling; France and six other countries of Europe use a unit equal to the franc; and Canada and the United States use the dollar. In value these different units range from 4.4 to 494.35 cents of money of the United States. They are represented in their turn by coins 'the values of which are either multiples or are fractional parts of the value of their own chief units, and there are no doubt at least 200 such different coins, not one of which seems to have a value equal to that of any commonly known unit of weight, as the gram, for example, or the ounce of gold, although 43 of these 48 countries have accepted gold as their standard measure of values. In the collage of the world there seems, indeed, to be little that is logical or reasonable. Adoption of a single monetary unit or base, if not of an universal system of coinage to be used in all commerce between the nations, suggests E. W. Perry In Moody's Magazine, would be a long step in that evolution through the centuries, because there has been no concerted well planned and persistent effort to remove the evils of the existing disorder. SPLENDID RACE OF MEN Natives of the Friendly Islands of Magnificent Physique. "The natives of the Tonga, or Friendly islands, off the east coast of New Zealand, are the finest in physique of any on earth," said E. A. Powell, of Cleveland, Mr. Powell is returning from a business trip to Australia, where he visited several groups of the Pacific islands. "The average height of the males is five feet ten inches. Many of them are over six feet. They weigh from 160 to 300 pounds and are very straight, being built in proportion. The women averag* a greater height than the women of America. They have fine, strong figures and average from 130 to 160 pounds in weight. They are of a copper color, straight haired and with features which made the Greeks famous. I firmly believe they are the original Maoris, while the natives of New Zealand are a smaller race—apparently a mixture with the Mongolian race. The islands are crescent shaped and mostly coral. There is, either wealth nor poverty on the islands, Peace and contentment are in evidence and the tribe is exceeding virtuous. The main article of food is the cocoa nut, and the only drink used is the milk of this nut."

The hot-water fluids fancy that they cannot live without their morning drink, but there are reliable physicians who claim that this practice is debilitating to the stomach and that it cannot fail to do injury. The habitual use of cold water is an excellent habit to form. It is natural to drink cold water. Cold water is a tonic to the stomach, as it is to the skin. It gives tonicity to the mucous walls of the stomach. The practice of taking five or six glasses of cold water a day is a good one. It will help to clear the complexion, brighten the eyes, and is said to be almost a certain remedy for puffiness under the eyes. A Great Swimmer. A remarkable swim by an eight-year-old horse, says a Kildysart telegram, is occupying the attention of the local inhabitants. It appears that a farmer named Morgan Macmahon, who lives on a small island in the estuary of the Shannon, took the horse by boat to the mainland, and after working it all day turned it loose in the evening with a number of other horses. When the owner awoke next morning what was his astonishment to find the faithful animal peacefully grazing near its stable. It was wet as from a swim, and there is not the slightest doubt that the horse had swum all the way from the mainland to the island, a distance of a little less than three miles.—Pall Mall Gazette. Terms of Latin Origin. In a legal sense an "innuendo" was originally an averment made by the plaintiff in a libel action, putting into plain words the injurious sense he detected in an insinuation published by the defendant. $^{1}$ is the ablative case of a Latin gerum, that has become a common English noun substantive. Another Latin ablative with a similar modern history is "folio," which literally means "on page," so-and-so. The English language absorbs all cases in this fashion at its pleasure. There is "quorum" (genitive plural, and "omnibus" (dative plural), with "ignoranus" as an English noun that was once a Latin verb in the first person plural. Onions as Irrigators A farmer has made a discovery that will be of vast importance to farmers during a dry season. He has found that by planting onions and potatoes in the same field in alternate rows the onions, being so strong, bring tears to the eyes of the potatoes in such volumes that the roots of the vines are kept moist and a big crop is raised in spite of the drought. It is time to commence putting out your onion sets now.—Reed City (Minn.) Clarion. His Discovery. Cholly—You remember I told you yesterday that Miss Perkyns told me the night before that she would marry me. Jack—Yes, Cholly—Well, I happened to think this morning that she said that she would marry me on the thirty-first of September, so I looked up the calendar to see what day of the week it would be, and, do you know, September has only 80 days. Lack of Imagination. The average Englishman is not an imaginative person, he finds it difficult to put himself into the position of and, especially a foreigner, and most difficult of all if that foreigner be one of the dark races. What is good for himself and his nation, whether it be food, dress or political system, representative government, education, he is apt to think equally well suited to the rest of humanity—Edinburgh Review. All Street Music Barred Street music has been prohibited in Leipzig by an order of the municipality. This order applies not alone to barrel organs and street musicians in general, but to gramophones, pianos and other instruments played indoors with open windows. A local newspaper remarks that by the enforcement of this measure the authorities hope to lessen the number of sulcides and murders which occur daily. Tears Prohibited. It is unfortunate that fashion too longer allows the tender little playgoer to weep, a privilege which belonged to nineteenth century femininity, for there is no greater luxury than a good cry over some picturesque and heart-stirring tragedy. It is this which makes "East Lynne" so popular out of London. — London Black and White. How to Sweep. A teacher once asked a class of girls to give directions for sweeping a room, and received the following from one of her pupils: "Cover up the furniture with dust sheets, scatter damp tea leaves over the carpet, then carefully sweep the room into the dustpan and throw it out of the window." Women Growing Taller Women Growing Taller Society women both in the United States and abroad undoubtedly are becoming taller with every passing generation. There are in the present decade many who are of good height, and it is noticeable that the debutantes of each succeeding year appear to have gained a little in their average of stature. Problem of India's Development Dazzled and intoxicated by western ideas, the Hindu student is only too prone to clamor for their immediate adoption in the east, ignoring altogether the complex and firmly-established conditions which make all the difference between success and failure.—London Dally Telegraph. Anchor from the Armada An anchor, supposed to have belonged to one of the vessels of the Spanish Armada, was recently recovered from Rye harbor, England, by a trawler. R. P. Burra, a local resident, who purchased it, has presented it to the town and it has been placed in the old Battery gardens. The Great Pyramid of Cheops. The greatest pyramid in the world is that of Cheops, of the Gizeh group. It contains 89,000 cubic feet of masonry, is 450 feet high and the total weight of the stone in this mammoth monument has been estimated as over 6,000,000 tons. Eat Breakfast Alone If possible, allow breakfast to be a movable feast. Some people simply must cat the first meal of the day alone to make it possible for the other members of the family to live the rest of the day with them at all. Orchid Helps Itself to Drink An orchid that takes a drink whenever it feels thirsty by letting down a tube into the water is a botanical curiosity which grows in South Africa. The tube when not in use is oiled up on top of the plant. World Seeks the Best: In his book, "Three Acres and a Living," Bolton Hall quotes a Hebrew proverb: "If a man make but a mouse-trap better than his fellows, though he makes his tent in the wilderness, the world will beat a path to his door."

"It is huge, it is shaped like a castle, it is solid silver and the price—but what is the use telling the price to you? You? Very magnificent, eh! in the middle age, you know, the salt cellar was the principal table ornament. Guests sat above or below the salt as they were prominent or the reverse. Where do you think you'd have sat, ch? Queer table manners they had in those days. The fastidious had individual knives, forks and spoons, but the common people ate with their fingers. You helped yourself from the general dish with your own spoon if you had one, but if you were very, very fastidious you licked the spoon clean first. The food was queer—rich, rank food—swans, herons, porpoises, garlic, juvice, saffron. There was mead and wine in floods and ushers stood about whose duty it was to lead to convenient couches such guests as had dined too well. These ushers, being overworked, were continually striking for more pay. The hours were queer, too. Breakfast, dawn; dinner, ten o'clock; supper, four o'clock in the afternoon." TAKING NO MORE CHANCES. Keepera Had Special Cartridges For Poor, Marksman. Dr. Seward Webb at a dinner at Shelburne Farms, his great Vermont estate, said of a certain poor marksmans: "Visiting his English brother-in-law, he shot the head keeper in the leg the first morning he tried pheasant shooting. The man limped away cursing horribly. Next day he had wretched luck, though the wounded head keeper without malice had assigned him to a fairly good place. Bang, bang, bang, went his gun every few seconds, but not a bird fell before it. He was much embarrassed. It seemed, too, that at each of his misses the under keepers smiled at one another oddly. Finally his cartridges gave out. He hurried to the nearest keeper and demanded more. 'There ain't no more, sir,' the man answered. 'No more? Nonsense. Why, you've got at least 1,000 in that box.' The keeper fushed and stammered: 'Ah, but them ain' for you, sir. They're for another giant. They've got shot in 'em, sir.'" PLEA FOR SELF-RELIANCE. Charles G. Dawe's Good Advice to Young Men in Business. This is a hard world in business. It always has been and always will be. There are many good and generous men in it. There are many who will lend a helping hand to you in your adversity, but in the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to get you to embark in speculation with your little surplus, and to sell you something which would help you to "cash money." Be self-reliant. Make your own investigation into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank. Distrust the financial demagogues as you distrust the political demagogue. Keep your hand on your pocketbook as you travel life—first, to give always in proportion to your means to those who are poor; second, to hold from those who would take through force or fraud what you need for yourself and yours. You will then, writes Mr. Dawes in the Saturday Evening Post, have your hand where most of the other fellows have only their eyes. In this alone you will have the advantage of them WORK OF MAHOGANY HUNTER. Practiced Eye Needed to Locate the Valuable Timber. Mahogany trees do not grow in clusters, but are scattered throughout the forest and hidden in a dense growth of underbrush, vines and creepers and require a skillful and experienced woodsman to find them. He seeks the highest ground in a forest, clubs to the top of the tallest tree and surveys the surrounding country. The mahogany has a peculiar foliage and his practiced eye soon detects the trees within sight. The axmen follow the hunter and then come the sawyers and hewers, a large mahogany taking two men a full day to fell it. The tree has large spurs, which project from the trunk at its base, and scaffolds must be erected so that the tree can be cut off above the spurs. This leaves a stump ten to fifteen feet high, which is sheer waste, as the stump really contains the best lumber. The hunter has nothing to do with the work of cutting or removing the tree, his duty being simply to locate it. If he is clever and energetic his remuneration may amount to $500 or $1,000 a month, but he may travel weeks at a time without detecting a tree, and as he is generally paid by results his earnings are rather precarious.

"As long ago I can remember my mother was a faithful user and friend of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, but never in my life have I realized its true value until now," writes Prof. H. A Howell, of Howell's American School, Havana, Cuba. "On the night of February 3rd our baby was taken sick with a very severe cold, the next day worse and the following night the condition was desperate. He could not lie down and it was necessary to have him in the arms every moment. Even then his breathing was difficult. I did not think he would live until morning at last. I thought of my mother's remedy, Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which we gave, and it afforded prompt relief, and now, three days later, he has fully recovered. Under the circumstances I would not hesitate a moment in saying that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and that only, saved the life of our dear little boy." For sale by all dengists.
