Crime and the Daily Press.

The following article from DEMO-
RESTS MONTHLY, barring Its implied
endorsement of Sunday papers express
es our views on the subject in question
exactly. a small paper like the jour
NAL might be Gil, d week after week
every inch Of it-with detailed accounts
of crimes, suicides and sc lndalS that alas
happen daily throughout the country.
Bat such reading not only does no
good, improves neither the mind nor
batters the heart, but it is a positive
and lasting il jury to all, especially to
the young. Ii is about time that par
ents who have the welfare of their chill
dren at heart, see TO it that the class OF
papers indicated be banished from the
family circle
John G.. Whittier, the Quaker poet,
drplOres, i'll recent poem: the dispOSi-
tion Of the daily press to dwell upon
crimes and all unnatural oc;urI ences
The journals publish whatever appeals
to a mOrtld appetite, and scarcely a
paper that comes into our homes but
contains items Of news such as no par
Pnt would care TO show his children.
Unfortunately, it is unusual occur.
rences which the public taste Graves.
Hence the prominence given to muir
ders, thefts, scandals, and reports of e
vii deeds. The more enterprising the
journal the more of these Objectionable
stories does it contain. Sail it must
be admitted that the newspapers might
be much worse than they are. The pro-
prietors and editors are generally heads
OF famiias, and much of the more re,
rehenSible reports of vicious occurreno
es are modified or suppressed outright.
Then the newspaper is beginning to add
to its departments and furnish more
serious matter. The Sunday editions
of the large weekly journals have be-
come weekly magazines, and draw
largely from current literature to add
to the attractions Of their columns.
There ought to be public sentiment
which would strongly condemn such
journals as make a speciality of evil
news.

Meeting" all of his own, last Friday.
The speakers, however, failed to come
to time, and so the assembled Democ-
racy concluded to draw off Joe's mill
dam and go a-fshing, as the next best
thing. This was done, and the victory
was glorious one. Some fifteen BUSH
els of fish were caught, not a few of
them measuring nineteen inches in
length. After the fun of catching was
over the 8shes were divided into forty
five shares, and as many families were
made happy and Jared sumptuously ev-
cry day-as long as the fish lasted.

permit be re opened for divine service

The DigestibiIity of Oysters.

Why oysters should be eaten raw is
explained by DR.. William Roberts in
his lecture on Digestion" He says
that the general practice of eating the
oyster raw is evidence that. the popular
Judgment upon matters of diet is un-
usually trustworthy. The fawn-colored
mass, which is the delicious portion of
the fish, is its liver, and is simply a
mass of glycogen. Associated with
the glycogen, but withheld from actual
contact with it during life, is it's ap-
propriate digestive ferment-the
hepatic diastase. The mere crushing
of the oyster between the teeth brings
these two bodies together, and the
glycogen is at once digested without
any other help than the diastase. The
raw, or merely warmed oyster, is self
digestive. But the advantage of this
provision IS wholly lost by cooking; for
the heat Immediately destroys the as
sociated ferment, and a cooked oyster
has to be digested, like any other food,
by the eaters own digestive powers.

A New Story of Thad. Stevens.

Ex-Speaker Grow was telling me
some anecdotes of Thaddeus Stevens,
who once, defending the public schools
that had with difficulty been legalized,
said that the Pennsylvania Dutch cared
nothing for educating their sons and
daughters provided they could import
and breed fine pigs and cattle and
horses. This was made the most of by
Stevens enemies and he had to defend
himself publicly when he got back to
Gettysburg, and did it with the argal-

he said, you, Jake Snyder, have got
a ram that cost you 1000 and none of
your daughters can read. You, Hans
Deitman, paid $1,000 for a bull, but
make al your sons work winter and
summer. You, Jimmy Lootman, own
Westphalia boars and brood sows, and
can't read yourself. Don't you love
your beasts better than your children
and your mirds?" The honest Dutch
men began to confer: "That is right,

SEnIicllt NOt White !lEt Bile.

Since the time of Newton it has been
assumed that all the radiations of the
sun were to be found in the spectrum,
and that these reunited make white
light There is also a tacit assump-
ton that white light is pure sunlight.
Some OF tie early experiments at Ale
gheny have been mentioned which
showed that the light, as We receive il,
has been somewhat altered by the sun S
atmosphere. The change is an absorp-
tion of rays from the blue end of the
spectrum. It follows that our sunlight
is more red and less blue, and far less
intense than it would be if the solar
atmosphere did not intervene. But we
are concerned with something nearer
home. Our own atmosphere repeats
the performance, strangles many rays
at the blue end of the spectrum, and
comparatively few at the red end.
What does this mean? Let US shake
hands with our friend who wears green
goggles. We, too, have all our live;
seen things in false light. If We
could place ourselves outside our at.
mosphere-say on the moon-we should
find that sunlight is not white that the
sun itself is really blue. To the in
habitants of "other worlds than ours
the sun may be bluer star than Vega

sTWiII Ever Re SO.

Nearly all the great statesmen of the
present day can look back to the time
when they would rather stand in the
mud and water up to their knees and
fish for bull-heads than help plant po-
tatoes in the best garden in the coun-
try. Even the best kind of boy, who
is willing to work like a major at any
other season of the year, seems to have
a fearful falling out with all manner of
labor in the spring. But somehow the
spring garden is made each year, and
the boy grows up to manhood, and
finally has boy of his own, and a
garden that demands attention; then it
seems that when he wants his boy to
help in the garden, and fifteen min
utes later finds him in the street play
ing marbles, he forgets how it was when
he was boy himself, and he argues
with his boy with hoe-handle. 'Twas
ever thus.-Pech'S sam.
