Mrs. Fremont and the Howitzer

Mrs. Fremont played a conspicuous part
in the first expedition sent out under her
husband in 1872. "Mr. Fremont" as she
herself tells it, was at the frontier getting
his camp and animals into complete travel
ing condition when there came an order re-
calling him to Washington; where hs was to
explain why he had armed his party with a
howitzer; that the howitzer had been
charged to him; that it was scientific and
not military expedition, and should not
have been so armed; ond that he must re.
turn at once to Washington and explain
Her course was taken without hesitation.
The important thing was to save the expe-
dition and gain time for good start which
should put it beyond interference. 1t was
before telegraphs were known, and nearly
week was required to get letters either to
the frontier or Washington She sent
message to her husband to hurry his ar
rangements and start, adding that she could
give no reason, but there was a sufficient
one. Then she awaited the consequences,
which, happily, did not prove very serious
Her object was gained and the expedition
was beyond recall Chicago Tribune.
Suicide as an s.UnpardonabHe Sin.ss
The popular superstition of northern,
Lutheran Europe accounts suicide an url-
pardonable sin because it destroys OF itself
the chance OF repentance-viz., that the
deY ii lies in wait, and the moment the
moose is about the suicides neck, jumps on
his back and holds him down for good. It
is then struggle for soul In which the
devil has the advantage, for the dying sin
ner has himself thrown away his chance of

The above Illustration is from q print of
1878. 1t shows to the veriest detail the Drai-
sine of that day. The rider balanced himself
on a sadl midway between the fore and
hind wheels, which were of equal diameter.
The front wheel turned as does the present
bicycle, while there was cushioned arm
rest to give steadiness to the arms. The
machine was propelled by padding with the
feet, and when sufficient momentum was OBJ
tanned, or when going down an incline, rests
were provided for the feet at the axle of the
forewheel where we now have the pedal.
All that was needed at that time was SUBJ
stitution of pedals for the foot rest Still
this vehicle was in use for fifty years, until
Lallemont added pedals to it. It is said that
our Charles Sumner disported himself in his
younger days on Draisine on the classic
roads of Cambridge, where the bicycle is
now common sight
It was in 1862 that Lallemont conceived
the idea of adding pedals to the Draisine
He was then 10 and had left his home near
Nancy, in France for Paris where he
found employment with manufacturer of
baby carriages and invalid chairs. His pay
was SO small that it was full year before
he could purchase and beg the parts necas-
sary to complete his machine. But now his
real trouble began when he attempted to
ride it, as any enc can understand who has
trie1 it and remembers his early exper!s
ences. Supposing the reader was given one

seen a machine like it before, and was not
certain that it ever could be propelled safely
Supposing also that in his success as a rider
depended the introduction of the machine as

One of the Purest and Most Honored OF
Public Men.


Judge David Davis was born in Cecil
county, Maryland, March 8 1915 By the
exercise of extreme and oftentimes pinching
economy, young David Davis succeeded in
passing the collegiate course at Kenyon
college, Ohio. He then studied la W in the
Massachusetts, academy of law. Thus equip
ped Mr. Davis in 1884 came west and located
in Pekin, Tazawell county, Illinois He
was then very poor, and wishing to change
his location walked from Pekin to Bloom
ington. in the same state, distance of forty
miles. Arriving in Bloomington in 1885 he
at once began the prac tice of law, acquir-
ing practice that was constantly increasing
up to the time of his elevation to the bench.
He was the colleague of Abraham Lin
coin, Judge Logan, Gen. Gridley, o. B.
Ficklen and other legal giants of that period
whose lives are portion of the history of
the country.
In 1874 Mr. Davis was elected to the pop
ular branch of the assembly, where he ac-
quired his first experience in legislative
work He was first called to the bench in
1S4S At once his friends recognized that
Davis had found the part in life for which
nature and education had SO well fitted him.
In 1862 President Lincoln appointed Mr.
Davis to the highest Judicial attainment OF
the aspiring iurist-an associate Judge of
the supreme court of the United States
This appointment was made more as an
acknowledgment OF MIR. Davis ability as
a iurist than as reward for service rem

than justified the presidents expectations

Data Concerning Various Diseases.

An advance reprint from the annual re-
port of the Michigan state board of health
consists OF paper by Erwin f. Smith, in
which the author has collected data from
various cities, severed and unse wered, both
in this and other countries and embracing,
for each OF a series OF years varying from
four to thirty, the population, the annual
death rate, and the number: of deaths from
typhoid fever and from diphtheria ami
Group, with the ratio per H. O1O of the living.
from these ttDles he draws the following
concius.ons, which, it may be remarked, are
tuny Lorne out by a study of similar data
i'll Chicago:
First cnolera and typhoid fever decrease
in proportion as the city is properly severed.
To this proposition there were no exceptions
As regards cholera, his conclusions are that
unsewered cities suffer severely, while
severed either escape or suffer chiefly i'm the
unsewered districts Localities subject to
typhoid fever are the oiles likely to be
visited by cholera, and pure and abundant
water supply is a great safeguard. Second.
that there is no direct relation between
diphtheria and sewers, and that diphtheria
is not, properly speaking, a "fii5l disease
but that it should rather lie classified with
smallpox arlet fever, and other diseases
which spread by contagion. Third, that the
general death rate falls after the sewering
of city, and, other things being equal,
never reaches the mailman of its ante
sewel. condition. His final conclusion 10
that the introduction of sewerage systems
and water-supply systems into cities is the
soundest social and financial economy; be-
cause, along with greater freedom from
sickness and consequent important saving OF
time and money, it insures TO the individual
a greatly increased ability to earn money;
and because the lives which are saved each
year Increases by so much the total popuIa-
tio,i, and consequently the total bread win

Matas has had a very considerable ex-

here but in Mexico and in Cuba; and his

In tropical countries the general com

really that of one whose blood has been so
modified by febrile conditions as to be no

The Cuisine of Sweden.
ILippincott's 11agazine.l


The habit of lunching in the very pres.
ence of dinner, of going to a side table
and eating your fill of anchoYies, raw her
rings, smoked beef and cold eel pie while
dinner is on the very table. still prevails,
and is hardly conducive to health 1t is
said that the habit of taking "a sup, " as
the Swedes call it, arose from the search
ty of delicacies. 1t was hard to get
enough of any one nice thing to make
meal of. so you were first deliCately innu-
endoed of to the brandy table (as it is
Called g I tLen allowed to sit down to
dinner.
The practice is universal in Sweden.
Private houses, hotels and boarding
houses all feed you on preliminary scraps,
aud woe be to you if you innocently turn
away from the proffered luncheoni You
fare like an ascetic, and feed yourself on
odors- The ordinary routine of dining
seems in Sweden to be in wild confusion.
Soup sometimes ends instead of begin
ming the dinner. Iced soups and cold fish
are dainties to the scandinavian palate
Much of the soup is nauseously sweet,
favored with cherries, raspberries and
gooseberries, often with macaroon cakes
and spikes of cinnamon floating wildly
about in it. This is eaten as a sort OF
dessert, and is cold and often beautifully
clear
If Heine bitterly reviled the English
for bringing vegetables on the table au
naturel there is no such complaint to be
made here. Heaven, earth, and hell are
eaten with sauce-sauces red, white, and
blue, green. yellow. and black-sauces
celestial and sauces Internal Strange
combinations of ice-cream heaped over
delicious apple tarts, or strange dishes of
berry juice boiled down and mixed up
with farina, sugar. and almonds, then
cooled, nodded, and turned out into basins
of cream, to be eaten with crushed sugar
and wine, appear at the end of dinner
The Swedes share with the Danes and
Arabs a passionate fondness for sweet
meats. Everything is slightly sweet; even
green peas are sugared, as well as the in
tea and coffee cakes, so that
