The travelingmen of Lincoln are talking
of issuing a challenge to the fraternity who
make their headquarters at Hastings, to a
game of base ball, the losing side to pay the
expenses of a banquet the evening after the
game. Here is a chance for the display of
professionalism among the knights of the

Hastings it is presumed they will support
their boys for all they are worth. The third
city is not to be outdone in anything she un-

the capitol will have their hands full in this
contest.

Advice to a Young Man.

And then, remember that you have to
work. Whether you handle a pick or a
pen, Il w~heelburfow or a set of books,
digging bitches or editing d paper, ring
ing All auction bell or writing funny
things, you must work. Ii you look
around You you will see that the men
who are most able to live the rest of their
days without work are the men who work
the hardest. Don't be afraid of killing
yourself with work. 1t is beyond your
power to do that. Men cannot work SO
hard as that, on the sunny side of thirty.
They die sometimes, but it is because
they quit work at 8 p. NJ. and don't go
home until 2 p. NJ. It's the interval that
kills. Work gives an appetite for
meals; it lends solidity TO your slumbers;
il gives the appreciation of a holiday.
There are young men that do not work,
but the world is not proud of them. 1t
does not even know their names; it sim
ply speaks of them as old-so-and-so SOS
bows. Nobody likes them, nobody hates
them; the great busy world doesn't ever
know that they are there. So find out
what you want to be and do, take off
your coat and make Il dust in the world.
The buster you are the less deyiltry you
will be apt to get into, the swccter will
be your sleep, the brighter and happier
yorr holidays, and the better satisfied
will the world be with you.-Hawkeye.

Happening into a bird store one day
last week, a representative of the Say
inJs had Il chat with the proprietor on
the subject of birds generally.

was a greater demand for these beauti-
full soagsters than there has been for
the last three months. The demand is
great every winter, but this winter

a house will take take almost any in
fictitious disease which may happen to
af1lict the members of the household,
%andthey die very quickly once they
arc taken sick. They4will take scar

like 4 human being. They can lot be

as other household birds have died be-
cause OF the prevalence of diphtheria
during the winter. l dare say there
will be many pathetic stories told
shortly of the simultaneous death of
children and their fayorite birds, and
much talk of broken bird hearts.
Wien it is understood that the child
and the bird have had the same dis
ease, the pathos will vanish. People
who have valuable soagstersand know
their natures always remove them
from a sick-room to q. distant part OF
the house, but as a general thing the
owners of songsters understand very

wcathcr-Prognostics

From classic times, down to the
commencement of this century, it can
hardly be said that this branch of
m~eteorology made any advance. Few,
II any,'new prognostics had been dis
covered, and neither their physical
explanation nor their meteorological
significance had been found out. But
about eight years ago some physical
explanations We're given. 1t was
found that the air always ON
tanned certain quantity of uncon-
densed vapoi', and means were in
vented for measuring this amount
accurately. From this, the nature
and conditions of the formation of
dew were discovered, and also that
before many cases of rain the air be-
came more charged with vapor. This
latter fact gave the explanation of
several rain-prognostics. For instance,
when walls sweat, stones grow black,
and clouds form on hill-tops, rain may
be expected almost all the world over.
But when these reasons had been
discovered, the science tagged. A
large number of rain-prognostics could
not be shown by any means to depend

vapor a not grow in air, some ex-
PLANTATION was needed to account for
its variable quantity. And even when,
in Il general way, the prognostic had
been explained, no clew whatever had
been found for what we may call the
meteorological significance. What
was the relation of the damp to the
rain? Why did the p%rognostic some
times fail? Why are there many rain
| prognostics associated with Il tolerably
dry air? Why is not all rain preceded
by the same set of prognosticsP To
all these questions no answer could
be given. ~Prognostics had almost
fallen into disreputc; they were con-
sidered no part of science, and had
been supposed to be only suitable for
rustics and sailors.
So the subject remained till the in

Pearls That We're Used MS Fuel.

She has looked after them in that re-

so far as pearls go, well supplied with

Which the correspondent can voucl.
Some years ago her Majesty bought
from a w%cll-known London pearl mer-
chant three beautiful pearls, the united
cost of which was not far short of $500.
Four hundred and eighty pounds is
the exact sun mentioned. They
pleased royalty greatly and were paid
for without demur. A little while
after the purchase had been made the
merchant was surprised to receive a
letter from a lady at court saying:
''Ihc Queen wants to know whether
pearls will burn" The reply to this
somewhat startling scientific inquiry
was an assurance that if her Majesty
wished to oxysenize pearls for her
amusement she would find that they
would burn in am ordinary fire.
This rcjoindcr produced the secret.
Tee Queen had placed the pearls on
her writing-desk in a piece of tissue
paper which jewellers use. As she was
writing one morningsh used the tissue
| paper to wipe her pen and thrcwi it into
the fire. The pearls. all unobserved,
went with it. The ashes of the CRATE
were searched for them in vain. They
had been destroyed SO utterly so as TO
leave no trace. The Queen with her
Own hand had east three splendid
jewels, worth more than the average
income of her middle-class subjects, into

kept on the royal writing-table.-

The Lessons Of "Unser Fritz Case.

The greatest doctors in Europe don't
seem to know what ails ''Unser Fritz"
Thus are the Garfield and Grant epi-
sodes repeated, and public confidence in
expert medical knowledge is again
shaken.
The effect is a revulsion.
Since the fatal days of 1888, many of
the doctrines of the schoolmen concern
ing extensive medication have been
abandoned, and all schools of practice
are more and more relying upon old
fashioned simple root and herb prepare
tons and careful nursing,-the only reli-
ances known to Il ancestors.
These methods and r~eliances are illus
trated today in a series of old-fashioncd
roots and herbs preparations recently
given to the world by the well known
proprietors of Warmers safe cure-prep-
arations made from formuln possessed by
many of our oldest families, aud rescued
for popular use. and issued under the
happy designation of Warmers Log Cab
