A PLEA FOR WOOLEN
CLOTHING.

Prof. Jaeger of Stuttgardt, commends
as especially heathful clothing consist
ing entirely of wool. and SO arranged as
to keep warm the middle line of the
front of the body. The reasons for this
commentator the learned Professor
gives with truly German profundity. In
addition to the we'll known properties of
wool as regards moisture and heat, he
asserts that in our organism there are
certain gaseous volatile substances which
are continually being liberated in the
acts of breathing and perspiring. and
have important relations to mental
states. Two distinct groups of these
substances appear-those of pleasure
and those of dIslike-the former being
exhaled during a joyful state of mind,
and producing this state with heighten-
ed vitality if inhaled, while of the lat
ter the reverse is true. 1t may be read
lily verified that during JOY and happi-
ness the odor of perspiration is not dis
agreeable, while during periods of an
guish and great nervous excitement it
becomes offensive. The substances of
disliklng have. therefore. bad odor,
and in an atmosphere of them the vi
tality is lowered.
Now. Professor Jaeger contends that

FOX AS AN ORATOR.

1t was no slight advantage to great
extempore speaker to have at hand an
extensive and diversified stock of quota
tions from that branch of literature
which is nearest akin to oratory: and
for such speaker it is essential that
the voice, no less than the memory and
the reasoning faculty. should be under
absolute control. That laborious disci-
pline in the theory and practice of elo-
cution through which Fox was carried
by his disinterested passion for the
drama, but which no one who ever lived
was less likely to have deliberately un-
dertaken with an eye to parliamentary
advancement, had gained him COM
mand of accent and gesture. which, as
is always the case with the highest art,
gave his marvellous rhetoric the strength
and the simplicity of nature. The
pains which he had bestowed upon
learning to speak the words of others
enabled him to concentrate his undivid-
ed attention upon the arduous task of
improving his own.
If only he could find the thing which
required to be said, he was sure to say
it in the way that would produce the
greatest possible effect. His variety of
manner. We are told, was quite as re-
markable as the richness of his matter.
The modulations of his voice responded
exactly to the nature of his subject and
the emotions of his mind. When he
was piling up his arguments SO correct
in their sequence, and, as we read them
now with cool one impartial judgments,
for the most part SO irresistible in their
weight, every one of his massive SEN
tences "came rolling like wave of the
Atlantic, 5000 miles long" If his ca
dences at times waxed shrill and even
inharmonious, and his enunciation be-
came almost preternaturally rapid, it
was only when his hearers were so fasei-
mated by his burning logic, and so en-
tranced by the contagion of his vehe-
mence, that he could hardly speak fast
enough or loud enough to satisfy them.
His deep tones, which occurred rare
ly, and then put for moment, were re-
served for occasions that necessitated a
solemn appeal to the compassion or the
justice of the assembly which he was
addressing, and never failed to 60
straight to the heart of every one pre-
sent. Feeling profoundly, thinking ae-
curately and strongly, trained thorough
ly in all the external graces of oratory,
"Fox during the American war, Fox in
his best days" was declared by Grattan
to have been the best speaker that he
ever heard and Grattan. over and above
his experience in the Irish Parliament,
had formed his taste on Chatham. and
had lived through the great days Of
Burke, Pitt and Sheridan, to hear
Brougham on the "Orders in Council
and Canning on the Emancipation Of
the Catholics. ."-Eariy Life Of Charles

HE COULDN'T HELP TT.

There was another case yesterday of
q boy who couldn't help it. A promi-
nent and dignifed citizen was looking
through the third story window of a
block on Jefferson avenue, which he had
thoughts of renting, when the idea sud-
denly struck him to look into the alley
in the rear. He raised the sash of a
window and peered out upon ash-boxes,
coal-scuttles and barrels of straw with
out number, and was about to close his
observations when the sash came down
with thud and struck him behind the
shoulders. In his fright he fell to his
knees, and while the solid half of his
body was all right. the lighter was over
the window-sill In addition to the
weight of the sash any movement of the
body was accompanied with pain. The
sash could not be reached with his
hands freely enough to lift it, and il
soon occurred to the prominent citizen
that he ought to have help He could
not expect it from behind. for he was
alone in the store, but as he looked
down into the alley boy come stump
ing along to find something worth lug
ging away.
"Hellol boy, hello u called the cit
izen.
"Hello yourself !" replied the boy as
he looked up.

pleasure" while clothing made ofplant-
fibre favors the accumulation of the Of
fensive substances of dislike-a condi-
tion which induces mental depression,
and makes the. body more susceptible to
contagious diseases. A large amount of
experimental evidence is adduced in
support of these views and it is said
that the experience of many persons
who have adopted woolen clothing on
his recommendation, both for winter
and summer. has been very satisfactory.
This theory will, no doubt, be hailed

THE DIRTY AND COSTLY
WEED.

We asked an elderly friend of ours
whom we saw taking pinch of the
filthy weed into his mouth, how much
money he supposed he had spent for to-
bacco during his past life. He said:
Il have spit out of my mouth enough
to buy the best quarter section in
Grundy county" What lesson this
is for the young men whom we see puff
fng cigars. playing billiards, and in
other foolish ways squandering their
earnings. Many a young man who
works hard on farm, or at his trade
all summer long, finds when winter
comes that his money is gone and that
he has nothing 10 show for it. not even
a good outfit of clothing. and he won
ders what has become of the fruits of
his toll. He forgets the five cent ci-
gars he has burned up. the nasty, FL
thy plug he has put in his mouth, the
billiards he has played, and perhaps
the liquor he has drank. and the other
thousand and one little leaks. We dislike
stinginess and penuriousness as much
as any one can, but we do like the COM
mon sense which saves at least little
each year for rainy day. What many
young men spend for tobacco, if put
at compound interest. would make them
independent in old age, increase their
usefulness and self-respect, and make
them wealthier, happier and purer for
all time.

Pledged. till death should sever

Not in the flush Of morning,
When all the world seems fair,
But after burden bearing.
And pain, and loss, and care.
Taking those solemn vows

Knowing what "good or ill.,"
What "heath. or Sickness" meant.
Knowing that motherless children
Needed mothers care,
Knowing how hard it was to fill

But love took up the burden,
And meath his royal sway.

Helpless feet were led and guided.

No gay child voices ring.
Except when grandpa's pets

seflly silver bells are ringing
In the clear October weather,
Homeward calling men, and women,
Who as children PLAYED together
For now across life's trodden way
The shadows slanting fall.
While the sweet hush of coming eve 1913
Is broodng over all.
High noon with its fierce heat,
Its tong, and unrest. is past
By slow degrees the sun
Has neared its setting time at last.
AS the busy day is merging
Into the nights repose.
May long, cloudless twilight be
Its calm and hitting close.
As the shadows slowly lengthen,
And softly falls the night.
With faith and hopes clear shining stars,
May all the heav'ns be bright.
Ifwhen the golden bells shall chime,
Your mortal life is ended
And to the many mansions fair
Your spirits have assembled,
In that bright land where comes no night,
Where joy forever dwes.
May echoes of these "silver chimes"
Blend with those golden BELLS"

A SAD ROMANCE.

Fort Plain Standard thus tells of a re-
cent sad romance in real life: Malvern
Lispcrt is wholesale merchant, doing
business on Broadway. In early life
he married society lady in Paris, and,
returning to New York, engaged in his
present business In due time son
was born, who became to them an OBJ
iect of worship. The father was very
successful in business, and the son as
he grew up was denied no luxury that
he could wish for. When l6 he was
sent to Columbia College to complete
bis education. He graduated and was
taken in his fathers store. 1t was not
long before the father discovered that
his son was wayward and had many
suspicious associates.
The father determined to know the
worst, employed detectives to shadow
his son, and it was soon brought to light
that he regularly visited woman of
low character who had been known as
the inmate of house of ill-fame, and
to whom he was married. When con-
fronted with this information, the son
confessed his shame and was repentant.
His father proposed that he should
leave the city and its satanic school"
and spend year or two in the country,
until he had rid himself of the infatua-
tion of his evil associations. This he
consented to do, and the scene of his
country life was located in Otsego coun-
ty. The father, years before, had visited
the romantic region made famous by
the pen of Cooper. He went with his
son to the farm house of Aaron Pratser,
whom he knew, where he engaged board
for his son, giving no particular reasons
for leaving him there. The son took to
fishing and hunting, and was quite con-
tented with the change. He realized
that he was on classic ground, relieved
for a time from the din and turmoil and
remorse of his city life.
The farmer, in whose family he was
boarding, had two daughters, the young
est bright, pretty and intelligent girl.
fond of music, of art and literature.
though she had been afforded very little
opportunity to cultivate her taste for
either. The young man had not lost
his interest in art or music, in which he
was proficient, and was well up in liter
ature, and when their acquaintance was
more intimate, they were often together
and she improved in all three branches
under his instruction. In that region
there is not hill or mountain top not
a glen nor forest not grove nor cave
not a bay, nor outlet, nor rivulet, nor
cascade that is not invested with a halo
of interest, inspired by the commanding
genius of Fenimore Cooper. 1t was an
excellent field for this interesting young
couple to study. There was no place
on either shore of the lake which they
had not visited in their wanderings.
The new life to the young New York
er was very delightful. He realized
that his pleasant companion was eleva.
ting his moral ideas into that sphere
desired by his beloved parents. He
wrote bright letters to his mother. The
young and innocent girl seemed to him.
