un.ymmetrIeal Physical Deveiopment.


Perfect symmetrical development is
rarely found in man or woman. OF
course those who work with their hands
and are much on their feet generally excel
in form, but there is tendency in all for
stronger and better developed than the
others. To occupation can be attributed
this disparity, which, however, unless
marked, is not of great significance. Ex-
cluding from consideration that class
given to hard manual labor, we find that,
in the majority of men and women, after
the age of maturity is reached, the upper
half of the body does not retain its rela-
tive development and strength as COM
pared with the lower half.
OF course, the solution Is easy, the
labor put upon the lower limbs is greater
than that which falls upon the arms to
do. The business man, when told by his
physician that he must exercise, insist.
that he has all that he needs, for he is
ION his feet from morning until night"
and the hard working housekeeper thinks,
too, she has quite enough, and gives the
same reason. We find these people strong
on their feet, but comparatively weak in
their arms. Circulation in the lower half
Of the body is good, but in the upper part
it is less free, and less blood is attracted
to it. The natural adjustment is de-
stroyed. Nature intends that certain
portion of blood in the human body shoald
enter and distribute itself throughout the
muscular system. If, however, large
muscles, like those Of the arms and trunk,
are insuffieiently exercised, and as con-
sequence grow smaller, then the blood in
tended for them is diverted elsewhere. It
must be taken up by the internal organs,
and the liver is the one organ which,
from its peculiar construction, will bear
the greatest increase in the blood supply.

What Killed the Emperor.

The immediate cause of the cold which
proved fatal to the Emperor William was
an accident which happened to him on the
night of Saturday, March 8. His physi-
clan, DIR. Won Laner, had expressly warned
him against attempting to leave his bed
without assistance; but in order to spare
his personal attendants, who were in an
adjoining room, the emperor ventured to
disregard the injunction. He got out of
bed safely, but when he was endeavoring
to return his strength failed him and he
fell to the floor. He was unable to raise
himself, and ere his attendants entered
the room he had contracted severe chill
They did what they could for the en-
peror's comfort, but he laughed at the
mishap, and only besought them; Don't

ern Pacific for S110. including rail and
Pullman, and five days Accommodations south
of Livingston in the park.

giOn of Minnesota, by the great wheat
fields of Dakota, along the Yellowstone
river and Clark's Fork of the Columbia,

TIE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.

In former years the beard Of equalization
was made up of such men as Messrs. VIM.
Rodgers, Z. b. cassidy, Samuel Rhodes.
William Diehl, Charles Rabbits, E. N.
Tibbetts, ETC., all competent. business men,
and they received for their services each
two dollars per day. They put in the full
number OF hours for days work, and dis
patched the business as quickly as possible.
Later, q law was passed allowing five dol
lars per day. making 1t rather nice thing
to be member of the board. And so the
work goes along 1eisurely, at five hours
day. and is usually drawn out to about
fifty days year, each member receiving
two hundred and fifty dollars. Such men
as have named above were satisfied with
two dollars per day. Nobody will say that
they were not as competent as the members
of the present board. Would it not be well
for our representative In the legislature to
have the law repealed, and have assessors
put back at the old allowance? This Is
worth thinking about.

ventl0n, VINO were dlSguste1 with the dctl0n
of the committee on resolutions and were
determined that this convention should not
be allowed to play FOOLS game on this
really supreme question. that of temperance
against the saloon, introduced with q speech
of magnificent bravery and force, the fol-
lowing resolution, which was finally voted,
almest unanimously, to be q part of the
platform:
Then follows the plank, which is as fol-
lows:
"rhe first concern of all good govern
pient is the virtue and sobriety of the peo-
pie, and the purity of the home. The
republican party cordially sympathizes
with all wise and welI-directed efforts
for the promotion of temperance and
morality"
THIS was adopted with shouting and
cheers. 1t is plain, unequivocal and
courageous utterance. 1t does not declare
for regulation or restriction, or against
''sumptuary" legislation after the manner
Of the democrats, but declares for
all wise and well-directed efforts
for the promotion of temperance
and morality. The word temper
ance stands for all that is opposed to intem-
perance and its sources and appliances. and
this republican official utterance makes the
party nominally, as it is really, tempe
rance" party. Indeed, the party could not
have agreed upon anything more specific,
as republicans are divided among them
selves as to the most effective methods of
opposing, or treating, the liquor traffic.
Probably several times as many republi-
cans as are in the entire prohibition party
are actively and earnestly in favor of sup
pressing the traffic wherever, and when
