NEED OF ARM-ExERcisE.

lts Bene0eent E6ect ON tho OrganisD
Through the Nervous System.
Walking on an even surface, the
variety Of physical exercise which most
business and professional men get in
town, IL well known to be q poor sub.
stitute for arm-exertion. The reason
is partially plain, since walking n
almost automatic and involuntary.
The walking mechanism is set in mo-
ton as we would turn an hour-glass,
and requires little attention, much
less volition and separate discharges
of force from the brain surface with
each muscular contraction, as is the
case with the great majority Of arm
movements.
The arm-user is higher animal
than the leg-user. Arm-motions are
more nearly associated with mental
action than leg-movements. A mans
lower limbs merely carry his higher
centers to his food or work. The lat
ter must be executed with his arms
and hands.
A third way in which arm-exercise
benefits the organism is through the
nervous system. Whether this is due
to an increased supply of richer, purer
blood, or whether the continual dis
charge of motor impulses in some way
stores up another variety of force, We
do not know. One thing is certain,
the victim of neurasthenia is very sci.
dom an individual who daily uses his
arms for muscular work; with this, the
limit of hurtful mental work is seldom
reached. Walter B. Plat, H. d., IN

his followers applauded the statement.
It occurred to rs to wonder what the

Of such doctrine a. this, when they
bear In mind the dark days Of 81, wh,n
they and this Unreasonable body" ut
Washington were working together In
the terrific struggle to save the life Of
the Republic. We think they will re-
member the fact that about that time
the "traitors" of that body had gone
south. and were fighting the battles Of
the Confederacy. And what do ex-
republicans, generally, who have been
inveigled into this party, think Of the
statement of this same slanderous
speaker who asserts that "the repub.

party that ever cursed Gods green

''Wait moment, doctor; let's have

A large crowd was pushing and el-
bowling its way toward the grand
stand at q nearby resort recently when
the above remark was made to q tall,
fine-looking man who seemed to be
suffering from the excessive heat. His
shirt collar was unbuttoned at the

over his wrists and his appearance
was that Of q man in his last stages
Of ''wilt." The invitation to partake
of the lemonade seemed agreeable to
him, but he no sooner got to the stand
whore the light beverages were dis
pensed, than he gave q glance and
started back. saying:
':Noue for me. l admit that am
thirsty and glass Of lemonade would
be very refreshing, but look-that set

he pointed to the huge lemon squeezer
made Of galvanized iron. =

THE law should prohibit its use.
Rather than drink lemonade made by
that machine I had rather drink the
water from yonder horse trough. The
lemon squeezer Is made OF galvanized
iron or iron coated with zinc. Every
time a lemon Is squeezed by it the
citric acid Of the lemon coming in con-
tact with the metal dissolves the zinc
and forms an unwholesome and poi

and no article Of food or drink should
ever be allowed to come in contact
with it. Find me place where they

A Poor Wheat Crop.

For the April crop report returns have
been received from $40 correspondents,
representing 7l9 townships; 613 from 431
townships in the southern four tiers of
counties, and 176 from 155 townships in
the central counties On the 3rd and 4th
of April, when the correspondents mailed
their reports. vegetation had shown no
signs of growth. In the southern portion
OF the state the ground for six weeks pre-
vious had been bare of snow and subject
cd to successive freezing and thawing, a
condition long since proven to be highly
unfavorable TO wheat and clover The
wheat tops are very generally reported
dead but hope is entertained that the roots
are yet alive. While no satisfactory
estimate of the condition is possible at
this time, it is noticeable that the estimate
as given by correspondents is much
lower than given one year ago. In the
southern counties it /; seven per cent low
or, in the central eleven per cent lower.
Since the first of April there has been
about the usual amount of rain fall for
the time OF year, and the temperature has
been slightly above the normal The num-
Der OF bushels of wheat reported IN arketed
in the state in the eight months including
August and March is 1l,304, 137. There are
l37r'levators and mills in the state that
have not reported for March and total
OF l79 elevators and mills that have faile /
one or more times TO report since Deem
her !. Based on reports previously re.
ceived from them it is sa e to estimate the
amount of wheat purchased at these ele-
vators and mills at 1877, 90 bushels; adding
this TO the amount reported marketed we
have a total OF II, 4S2, 63T bushels marketed
in the state ince Aug. 1. These figures
alone warrant the statement that o n April
l.there were less than three and one-half
million bushels of the 1887 wheat crop in
the farmers hands in excess of their own
requirements

CONKLING DEAD.
The .stinguished Statesman Passes
Peacefully Away.
sketch of His Life.

Roscoe Conkling died at his home in
New York on the morning of the
18th inst. 1t was a terrible struggle
that the brave man fought with death,
but he passed away peacefully and with
out a struggle.
Roscoe Conkling was born in Albany, n.
Y, Oct 80, 1922. His father was Alfred
Conking, an able New York iurist and
author of several works on legal subjects.
Young Roscoe received an academic edu-
cation and studied law three years under
his fathers tuition. In 1915 he entered
the law Office of rancis o. ernHn, a ter
ward his colleague in the senate. aud in
1850 was admitted TO the bar and became
district attorney of Oneida county. He
was elected mayor of Utica in 1888 and at
the expiration Of his term a tie vote be
tween the two candidates caused him TO
hold over for another term.
