People generally desire loGg life and good
he .lth. Sickness and premature death are
| almost always due to violations OF the laws
that govern our physical being, ard OF which
| the masses are ignorant. If men knew better
they would do better but how can they avoid
an evil that they know not Off While efforts
are made through the public schools TO give
each child Il SO called common English edu>
cation, yet the children are permitted to
grow up and enter upon the responsible
duties Of active life, profoundly ignorant of
the structure Of their own bodies, and the
laws of physical being upon which their
health and lives depend. They are sent to
school and crammed with arithmetic, gram
mar and geography, by teachers who, in
many instances, have never studied physi'
ology and hygiene, They are taught to locate
the mountains and trace the riversof foreign
countries, but are never taught to locate the
vital organs and glands CT their own bodies,
or trace the veins, arteries and nerves, in
their various rami6catiOns. They are in.
,tructed in the flow of the tides, and the
course Of the ocean currents, and the philOs'
ophy Of winds and storms, but they have no
correct conception Of the relative effects
upOn their health of breathing pure or i'm.
pure air, nor has their attention ever been
called to the importance Of keeping their
bodies clean and healthy b irregular bathing.
The criminality Of such neglect in teaching
becomes apparent when we consider that
the masses, ignorantly violating the laws of
health, bring upon themselves sickness,
suffering and death, that might otherwise
be avoided. In this condition of things we
welcome into being any work that is calcu.
lated to impart to the masses a knowledge OF
the structure of their own bodies, the laws OF
health and the importance of observing those
laws. We find DR.. Pierce's Common Sense

1t is curious TO note that while to the
railroads is owing the abandonment oI
the wind carriage Geometry seen by
travellers in China, Spain and HolIand),
To the same agency it now seems likely
that its re%juvenatiOn will be due. Wind
vehicles are already in Use on the long
stretches ct track, which extend over the
western prairies, and the speed attained
is said to rival that of the fast express
train. One which has been in use on
the Kansas Pacific railroad for the
past three years was devised by Mr..
G. j. BascOm. The vehicle il said to
average a speed of thirty miles per hour,
and, with a strong breeze, to travel al
the rate of forty miles in the came
period. This last speed was reached
with the wind right ab.am. A distance
of eighty-iour miles has been passed

One of the old residents of Kenosha
has recently passed to her eternal rest.
Mrs. Scribner was born in Oxford, Che
mango County, New YORK, May 22d,
1903, and died in the town of Mt.
Pleasant, Racine County, Wisconsin,
Sept. 4th, 1878. At the time that she
had completed her seventh year her
mother died(her father being prisoner
Iof war at the time), and she was
obliged at a very early age to earn her
living. She confessed Christ before
men at the age Of twenty and all
through her long life she strongly and
consistently carried out, in her life and
conversation. the religious convictions
which she, then experienced. TO the
last an attachment to the tenets and
practice Of the Methodist Church was
firmly maintained. She was called by
our Heavenly Father to a discipline Of
much trial, and by her patience and
unselfshness gave token that His low
ing chastisement had brought forth in
her " the fruits Of righteousness which
are by Jesus Christ - These marks Of
Gods renewing grace were especially
manifested during the lingering illness
which ended in her release from earth
ly toll ard trouble. 81 have chose
thee in the furnace of affection.

The prosperity Of all our industrial

Valuable commodities. Without it i'll
dustry would anguish, commerce
would decay, and civilization itself die.
The nations of the earth consent to

consent does not make it 50 and cannot

not change their natures and give them
the nutfitive qualities necessary to suS-
tain human life. If it were enacted by
law they should be used in place of
bread and meat they could no more
serve the purpose than they now can.
And If men ceased to ploW and SOW

such a law, they would soon die Of
starvation. And SO would industry
and commerce die on a diet Of picture
dollars. It is said the experiment has
more than once been tried of SUSTAIN
+ ing animal life without natural nutri-
ment; but as we all know as soon as
the legendary man had by his gradual
process brought his legendary cow to
the point Of living on nothing it imme-
diately died. Populous and powerful
nations have made the experiment Of
sustaining their interests and pro-
noting their growth by the use of tic-
titious instead Of real money, and it
has always resulted in their failure,
disas ter and destruction. Taught by
dearly bought experience they re-
turned to the use Of gold and silver
coin OF q paper currency instantly re-
deemable in such coin on demand, and
industry, trade and commerce have
sprung into life and activity and pros
perity smiled again. r. T. ROBERTS.

MASONIC BLOCK. = This large and
handsome structure is nearing COM
|pletion. A large and massive looking
cornice surmounted by a pediment OF
elegant design was placed in position
last week and large force Of mechan-
les are now engaged upon the interior.
The building is decidedly metropoli-
tan in appearance, an ornament to the
town, and credit to it's owners, who
are deserving Of no little praise in
daring to spend money for that, which
is purely ornamental. We trust the
era of veneered fronts and brick cor
nice is passed and that a feeling of
emulation and public spirit will induce
future builders on Main St., to depart
from the old conventional usages and
erect buildings, that, while they sub
serve some useful end, are yet orna-
mental. The stores will be models
in their way. Robinson's will be fur
nished throughout in hard wood, in
elegant designs, the others will be in
keeping with the general style
of the exterior and furnished with all
modern appliances. We understand
that "Pauls'' place will have a back
door.
