1879: that OF the Middle and Southern
States is thought 10 have been respect

Who He Was.
Detroit Free Press,

lA'SsAS'N AAN"S'I
One of the book-keepers for a Detroit
lumber firm was recently sent to the
north woods to transact some business
for his employers, He is a man of good
mind and strong limb. and has hung
about gymnasiums long enough to work
up his muscle and understand how to
strike from the shoulder. He reached a
camp belonging to another firm just at
, noon one day, and all but one of the log
gers gave him hearty welcome. This
one man seemed out of sorts and
bent on mischief. After throwing out
slurs and insults he boldly said:
stranger, Tve been aching for a
whole week past to put some one in my

This was turned off in pleasant man,

shed his overcoat, and was in first rate

away. AS the bully came forward he
was neatly knocked down. He got up

When Shall We Meet Again !

The following is one of the most
brilliant paragraphs ever witten by the
ate lamented George D. Prentice:
The fiat of death is ineXorable.
There is no appeal of relief from the
great law which doom us to dust. We
flourish and fade as the leaves Of the
forest, and the flowers that bloom
vther and fade in day. have nC
trailer hold upon life than the might
est monarch that ever shook the earth
with his footsteps. Generations OF
men will appear and disappear as foot
steps on the shore. Men seldom think
of the great event of death until the
shadow falls across their pathway, hid
ing from their eyes the faces of loved
ones whose living smile was the sun,
light of their existence. Death is the
antagonist of life, and the thought oI
the tomb is the skeleton OF all fears
We do not want to 60 through the
dark valley, although the dark passage
may lead to paradise we do not wan
to 90 down into deep graves. even with
princes for bedfellows. In the beauti
full drama of Ion the hope of immor,
tality, so eloquently uttered by the
death devoted Greek, finds deep res
ponse in every thoughtful mind. Wher
about to yield his life a sacrifice tc
fate, his Clemanthe asked if they
should meet again. to which he res

Dr. William Roberts, in an interest
ing series of lectures on digestive fer
Ments, published in the Lancet, says
The practice of cooking is not equally
necessary in regard to all articles OF
food, There are important differences
in this respect, and it is interesting tc
note how correctly the experience Of
mankind has guided them in this mat
ser The articles of food which We
still use IN the uncoOked state are
comparatively few, and it is not diff
fiCult in each case to indicate the rea-
son of the exemption. Fruits, which
we consume largely in the raw state,
owe their dletetic value chiefly to the
sugar which they contain; but sugar is
not altered by cooking. Milk is con-
sumed by us both cooked and uncooked,
rnditferently, and experiment justifies
lhis Indifference; for | have found on
srial that the digestion of milk by
pancreatic extract was not appreciably
fastened by previously boiling the
milk Our practice in regard to the
oyster is quite exceptional, and furn-
shes striding example of the general
correctness of the popular Judgment on
dGetetic questions. The oyster is al
most the only animal substance which
we eat habitually, and by preference,
in the raw or uncooked state and 1t is
interesting to know that there is a
sound physiological reason at the bot
Nom of this preference. The fawn-
colored mass which constitutes the
dainty part of the oyster is its liver,
aud this is little else than heap of
ytycogen. Associated with the gly-
nogen, but withheld from actual con-
TACT with it during life, is its appro-
priative digestive ferment-the hepatic
tiisastase. The mere crushing of the
dainty between the teeth brings these
two bodies together, and the glycogen
10 at once digested, without other help,
by its own diastase. The oyster in
ancoobed state, or merely warmed, is,
IN fact, self digestive. But the ad-
vantage of this provision is wholly lost
by cooking, for the heat employed i'm
nediately destroys the associated fer
rnent, and cooked oyster has to be di-
scsted, like any other food, by the eat
scs own digestive powers.

The Pir.t Gorernor Of Ohio.

The question has been asked us.
Who was the first governor Of OhioF
In October. 1901, Congress appoint
ed General Arthur 81. Clair Governor
Of the Territory OF ohio. He arrived
at Marietta on the 9Th Of July. lISs,
and proceeded to organize the Terrific
~. He served as Governor from lTSS
20 1902, when he was removed by
President jefferson. Charles Willing
Byrd. who was Secretary Of the Terri
tory, also served as acting Governor
during the closing months Of the Ter
ritorial Government.
On the lst Of November, 1902, un
der a Congressional enabling act. a
Constitutional Conv, ntiOn met at Chi.
licothe to form a Constitution of a
State Government. That body con-
cluded its labors on the 18th of the
same month. The State Government
was organized on the 3rd of March,
1903, in. pursuance of the State Consti-
tuition. Edward Tiflin was the frs;
Governor elected in Ohio. He was
elected IN 1908, having received 4,jG4
votes. He vas reelected in 1905,
having received 4,7S3 votes. No votes
appear to have been polled against him
at either election. Return j. MeigS

Turning the Tables.

The statement is made that the Rus.
sian Government is about to introduce
INTO this country a new loan for $50
600, 600, the rate of interest not stated
The announcement is significant of the
wonderful progress made by the Unit
ed States within the past ten years and
the complete turning of the tables
which is gradually taking place in the
relations between our own, and Eu-
ropean countries. Heretofore the Unit
ed States has always been a borrower.
but never lender. The development
of her natural resources, the bridging
Of her rivers, and the, building OF her
railroads absorbed every dollar OF her
surplus capital and made her con-
Stant creditor of the older nations of
the world. In this condition of affairs
the civil war dealt our finances such a
blow as would have staggered the
credit Of more wealthy and powerful
country, and yet in only fifteen years,
we find the conditions SO far reversed
as to enable US not only to show bal
ance of trade in our favor, but also tc
place a portion of that balance at the
disposal of the countries from which
it came.
Russias appearance as borrower il
the American market is the first even
Of the kind known to the financial his
tory Of the country, yet it will probab
ly not be the last. Russians have th'
reputation Of being good borrowers
and Of paving fair rate OF interest
W Whether the loan can be noated il
this country or not is quite anothe
question. 1t is evidently attracted t.
this country by a plethora Of money
but there is also a plethora Of invest
ments, and while these are to be salts
fed there will no doubt be visible re
