Already the sad news has gone forth
to the world that Rev. w. s. Doak,
State Superintendent of Public In

ing, at 4 o'clock, at his home at Tus-
culum, death claimed him as his own,
and tore him from the bosom Of his
family; from the affections of his
friends, and from his position Of use

filled every heart with sadness, and
every one said in feelings, if not in
words, "Truly good and useful man
has fallen" This feeling is not con-
fined to his more intimate friends and
neighbors, but pervades the entire
State.

received by Miss Julia A. Doak, from
Nashville, show the esteem in which
he was held at the State Capital:

Morning Work.

Perhaps on the whole, moderately
early rising is now commoner practice
in cities than it was forty years ago. 1t
seems strange that the habit of lying IN
bed hours after She sun is up should ever
have OBTAINED hold on the multitude of
brain workers, as undoubtedly it has in
times past. Hour by hour, the intel
lectrlal work done in the early morning,
when the atmosphere is as yet unpoison-
ed by the breath of myriads of activaly-
moving creatures, must be, and, as
matter of experience, is, incomparbly
better than that done at night. The
habit of writing and reading late in the
day and far into the night, 'for the sake
of quiet. is one of the most mischievous
to which man of mind can addict HIM
self. When the body is jaded the spirit
may seem to be at rest, and notso easily
distracted by the surroundings which we
think less obtrusive thanh the day; but
this seeming is snare.
When the body is weary, the brain,
which is an integral part of the body,
and the mind, which is simply brain
function, are weary, too. IF we persist
in working one part of the system be-
cause somC other part is too tired to
trouble us, that cannot be wise man.
agement of self. The feeling of tram
guilty which comes over the busy and
active man about 1870 or IL o'clock
ought not to be regarded as an incentive
to work. It is in fact the effect of a
lowering of vitality consequent on the
exhaustion of the physical sense. Nature
wants and calls for physiological rest.
Instead of complying with her reasona-
BILE demand, the night-worker halls the
''feeling" of mental quiescence, mistakes
it for clearness and acuteness, and whips
the faded organism with the will until it
goes on working. What is the result?
Immediately, the accomplishment OF a
task fairly well, but not half so well rs if
it had been performed with the vigor of
refreshed brain workingin health from
proper sleep. st4
Remotely, or later on, comes the PEN
atty to be paid for unnatural exertion-
that is, energy wrung from exhausted or
weary nerve-centers under pressure.
This penalty takes the fora Of ''nerv-
business" perhaps sleeplessness, almost
certainly some loss or depreciation of
function in one or more of the great
organs concerned in nutrition. To re-
lieve these maladies-springing from
this unsupported cause.-the brain-work-
er very likely has recourse to the use of
stimuiants, possibly alcohol, it may
be simply tea or coffee. The sequel need
not be followed. Night-work during
student life and in after years is the
f,-,;ff171 co71ca of Yo11ch 11neynlaiued
though by no means inexplicable,
suffering for which it is difficult if not
impossible to find a remedy. Surely
morning is the time for work, when the
whole body is rested, the brain relieved
| from its tension, and mind-power at its
/ hest. -

Unhealthy ice.
New York World

so sure am ]" said DR.. A. N. bell,
editor Of the Sanitarian, ''thst ice may
be unhealthy that Ineyer ON any account
put any in my drinking water. I fill
bottles with water and put them upon
ice, and should advise every one to do
the same. This is not new subject.
It was taken up several years agoby DIR.
Rochester, of Buffalo. He was the first
that demonstrated that ice was danger

s'Can any one tell from the appear

unhealthy?'
mo: the germ forms as they are call
ed, are impalpable, without color or
form, and are as likely to be found in
clear, bright ice as in that which is dis
colored. -
Suppose ice which contained ele-
ments of disease was used for packing
meat would the meat be contaminated"
Undoubtedly it would, andfrequent-
ly is, / have no doubt. Impure ice is
generally that taken from shallow
country ponds near the grazing grounds
of cattle, or, as is frequently the case,
ponds that receive the drainage from
cesspool, and this is cut and used for
packing poultry. In such case the
poultry would be unhealthy. Even ice
cut from the Hudson, if taken too near
the city of Troy would not be perfectly
pure" fNaf}
''Do you know anything of the ex-
periments of Prof. Pumpelly at New
portP"
''Yes, but his experiments were
mainly to ascertain whether impure
water became purified by draining
through SOIL"
"What was the RESULT"
"That the fltering through soil was
not effectual. DR.. Napother, of Dublin,
had previously demonstrated that the
elements of typhoid fever could be
carried upon the surface of water for a
long distance. A man died of typhoid
fever after drinking from the waters of
stream, and the Doctor traced up the
| stream for mile and quarter to the
residence of man Ill with typhoid
fever. The conclusion was that the
germs of the disease had foated down
the stream upon its surface. I"
/ ''Were there not experiments at New
/ port in relation to impure ice?"
| Yes, the experiments of Prof. Pun
pelly were made by the direction Of the
National Board of Health. but he was
also member Of the Sanitary Protect
i've Association Of Newport, and his ex-
periments as to the passage of water
| through soil convinced him that a GER
tain pond contained unhealthy and inn
pure water. There had been accompany
| formed which proposed to cut ice from
this pond, and the association pre-.
vented it."

years ago when I was surgeon in the
United States navy. It is now an accept

be subjected to ?. bath of steam and

that temperature of 200 degrees will

COWBOYS,

"In Arizona, Texas, and Colorado,
I learn from other sources, several
thousand people are engaged In herdIng
cattle. They are distinct class of peo-
pie who, from their peculiar associations,
become as class SO intensely bad and
30 hardened as to join with each other
in the commission of misdeeds. They
are employed to keep the cattle from
dividing or straying from the herds, and
for months at time see no one but the
person who supplies them with provis-
ions from the nearest town. But when
they get their pay and go to town there
is no limit to their outrageous conduct.
They get drunk, gamble, fight, and shoot
recklessly at friend or foe. A long plug
of black tobacco, q couple of revolvers
and heavy knife are sure accompanl-
ments of a cowboy. They are coarse
and cowardly and utterly despised by
every decent person. To have killed his
man elevates the cowboy in the estima-
ton of his associates, so that friendship
or kindred ties are no barriers to the
cowardly bullet. They meet In saloons,
and q word from an outsider may be the
signal for his death"
The above was written by a guileless
correspondent who probably never saw
one and don't know yet whether the
cowboy is female or not.
Every little while some white-livered
pelican from the efete East, strays out
into the Rocky Mountains, and after
getting his breakfast begins to write up
the country. The letters written by
some such fugitives from justice who
come here, write up the wild West and
90 back on the next train are about as
reliable as perdition would be IN the ca
pacity of powder-house.
We have no doubt in the world that
men in Wyoming worth from 5000, 900
| to half q million dollars, clothed, how
ever. in brown canvas and leather chap
pareios, have been written up by these
James crow tourists by the column as
desperate and dangerous men. There
are scores of college graduates here IN
the West, whose names are as old and
respected as any in America, and whose
record is as clear as the mountain air,
whose bronZed and bearded faces, cOu-
pied with their cowponies, Mexican
spurs and SO forth, have no doubt fur
nished material for the hand-me-dOwn
journalist to write up the bloody despe-
RADIO of this heather land.
We are beginning to become weary OF
this thing. Not that we have not some
hard cases in the West. OF course, there
are, too, bad cowboys. We have seen
several of them. So, also, there are bad
men in law and journalism, and even in
the pulpit; but when the cowboys are
all Jumped off as a cross between a coy
ote and road agent, we desire to enter
our protest.
We should like to see the man who
wrote the above having picnic among
about twenty active Western cowboys.
They would make it interesting for him.

Preaching nv Weight.

The question is agitated among church
going people, "Why are SO many learned
ministers poor preachers ?" The trouble
is that many of the learned ones are
content to load themselves with mighty
stores of knowledge, never thinking OF
how they are to benefit their fellow men
by giving it out. Unfol tunately, some
of our most learned clergymen are the
driest of preachers. To learn or prac-
tice the ordinary arts of oratory does not
seem to have occurred to these good
men. The art of pleasing their audi
ences is something to which they can not
conveniently descend. Perhaps they de-
spise it because there are 50 many
empty-headed men who have succeeded
in holding their congregations spell
bound. They may think that to interest
an audience is an evidence Of sensation
alism. Therefore, they are content to
plod on In the delivery of matter which
is really valuable, but which loses its
value because uttered in such lixeless
fashion.
One of our most learned preachers
used to have a habit Of meanderlng
along in a sing-song monotone for the
first fifteen minutes of his discourse.
The effect on strangers was to weary
them or put them to sleep, under the
impression that the whole discourse was
to be delivered in this style. On those
who were accustomed to hearing him 1t
was different. They knew he would have
something of interest for them, and
waited for it. After while he would
wake up to a most earnest style OF de-
livery and continue In it to the end OF
his sermon.
Some great scholars are so pomTous
that they can not preach as If to ordl-
nary mortals. Some preach fairly well,
but, because they are such great men,
do not stop short of an hour and half.
This may impress the weary hearers
with sense of greatness, but at the
same time Expresses them with the
ponderousness of it.
Learning and good oratory are not
necessarily out of harmony with each
other: There is no reason why learned
person should not add to his other ac-
complisbments the art of imparting his
wisdom to others in the most graceful,
attractive, and convincing way.-Phiia-
delphid Times.

AMONG the Greeks the death punish.

In early days Of printing books the
paper was only printed on one side and

THE turkey got its name from the be-

DIR. FRANKLIN invented stove in

stoves in Holland and Germany. Frank

In It'll he invented several other stoves,
one for burning bituminous coal, which

basket CRATE or cage, with movable bars

pivots at the center, and which, after

could be inverted, and so burn from the
base. The next inventor of stoves,

and heat. It may be stated that the
box stove now in the State House al

one of the so-called Holland stoves, and
was probably imported from England
