With this issue, the REVIEW en-
tiers upon its sixth year. During
our FIVE years of journalistic life We
have striven hard to give the people
of New Ulm and Brown county a

discussed all public questions in an
open and fearless manner. If we
have er1ed anything 1t is but human.
Our aim has been to be on the SIDE
of the right and justice. We enter
upon the new year with the best Of
feeling toward all mankind, and
trust that the same feeling-especl'
ally on the part Of our patrous--be
accorded US.

Leng.Buried Treasure.

A story comes from Franklin,
Pa, that Columbus Brown of that
village recently uneartbed an iron
chest filled with gold and silver
coins valued at about $27, 900. 1t
has always been supposed that dur.
ing the French occupation consid-
cradle specie was buried at differ.
ent points around where Franklin
now stands. Among those thor.
oughly imbued with that idea was
Mr.. Brown. For long time he
has thought, talked and dreamed of
buried treasures. Last Friday night
his dreams took definite, from point
ing him to spot in an open field
near his house. Upon the spot grew a
tree, under which on Saturday he
began to dig. At depth Of six
feet he struck an iron chest which,
when opened, was found to contain
French and other foreign coins
bearing dates ranging from 1929 to
1854. The latter date is that when
Fort Machault, the ruins of which
still exist near Franklin, was finish.
ed. On a brass ruler found in the
chest, Joncairo, the name.of the Of
ficer in command Of the French
troops, is plainly stamped. This
Fort was evacuated in July, 1850,
and very hastily. It is thought
that the treasure was then buried
with the intention of recovering ii
at some future time. One Of the
curious things found in the chest
sas an elk horn in remarkable
state Of preservation. The chest j.
| of hammered plates and rivets, ane
is almost destroyed by rust. There
! were several large brass buttons
| among the contents Of the box
| showing that it had contained som,
| article Of clothing which had lonf
since mouldered away. For 12{
years the secret of the French com
mandant remained untold.

Proper O.. antity Of Food.

Animals living il . state Of nature
do not overeat, but stop when they have
got enough. All animals which are ex-
pected to work are carefully fed as to
quality and quantity. Men, however,
.overfeed themselves, and the results are
unfitness for work and the pains of
diseased stomach. DR.. Nichols asks
and answers, in The Food Reform Nag
azi,e. the question: How are We to
get at the proper quantity of foodP He
replies:
When our food is simple and natural
in kind and quality and mode of prepa-
ration. there is little danger Of eating
too much. There is little danger, for
example, Of eating too many grapes,
apples, pears, or bananas. Salt, sugar,
spices and luxurious cookery tempt to
excess.
With men. as with animals, natu-
raj diet is self-limiting, and we are dis
posed to stop when we have got
enough.
The more artificial the food, the more
elaborate and luxurious the feast, the
more the liability to overload the stom-
ach, overtask the digestive power, and
overweight the forces of life.
Simplicity of food is condition of
health, and promotes longevity. The
quantity of food which enables man
to do his daily work without loss of
weight is precisely what he requires.
He supplies the daily waste-no more
and no less.
This quantity may vary a little with
each individual, but every one can easi-
ly ascertain his own measure of require
ment by reducing the quantity of daily
food Ill he finds a balance of force
and weight.
It is my opinion that the average
quantity of water-free aliment required,
say by business and literary men, is
twelve ounces. Men of great muscular
activity may require sixteen to twenty
ounces. have found myself in very
good condition for sedentary work on
eight or ten ounces.
When any one is in good condition
for his work and keeps his normal
weight, he has food enough. DR.. Mich
olls's advice is, find this quantity by ex-
pertinent, and then habitualiy keep
to it.

A Mechanical Rat.

The ancient Parrhasius and Zenxis
used to think it better than human
praise, and the highest triumph of ex.
cellence, to have the birds peck at their
pictured fruit, or dog wag his tail on
looking at their portrait of his master.
Perhaps II really requires greater skill
to deceive instinct than to deceive reason.
The following anecdote is related to IL
lustrate the perfection with which auto
matte toy animals are made to initiate
the originals:
An immense cat, fat, sleek and q
great favorite. lived and roamed at will
from the top floor to the sub-cellar Of
one OF our business warehouse. He
knew very we'll what rat was like.
One day q fun-loving clerk bought toy
rat, with spring inside, which be
wound up with key as he would q
watch. The cat was near by. and while
one clerk stroked and petted him, an
other one put the toy on the door 9 few
feet of. Instantly as he took of the
weight Of his hand. the rat started on .
run, and like fash of light puss had
his paw on It. While it was held down
the spring could not work; then puss
let it 20, as cats will when teasing their
poor frightened prey, when it ran away
again and puss after it.
The least change in the way Of hold
ing, wonld send it of in a different
direction when free, but finally puss
thought it time to eat the rat, and
caught it In his mouth.
'.Whir-r-r-r!''-Th un,rat-ly racket

which fell on its back and kicked. With
eyes dilated and splitting out fright, be
looked for ono second. and then, with
tail erect, fed for his life aud has neTer
come back. We know that when the
weight was lifted off the spring it must
run itself down; bpt puss, although she
knew better than we how to catch and
eat real rat, could not understand the
mechanical Little Gem.

The motive for exertion is to abs

siveness and the stimulus of prox-
innate, tangible, and visible purpose.
The sham competition of regiment
