supervising tIlc Press.

The arrest of two EDITORS for print
ing an extract from another paper
questioning the validity of the anti
lottery law is certainly carrying things
pretty high in this land of free speech
and liberal government.
The Post has no objection to the
stamping out of the lottery companies,
but the line should be drawn. it
thinks, at that point where irresponsi-
BILE underlings of the government at
tempt to stamp out the press.
On this point the Atlanta Constitu-
ton says that 'this policy will not
work. Iflotteries cannot be destroyed
without also destroying the freedom Of
the press, the people will be in favor
of letting the lotteries alone. We
cannot afford to yield our right to
speak and publish fair criticisms Of
public measures If we yield the right
in one instance we may expect to be
forced to keep silence whenever 1t
suits the govc eminent to demand it.
Fortunately it is no easy matter TO
bulldoze the press of America The
menace of fine and Imprisonment will
intimidate very few. No matter what
Federal officials may hold, the news
pap,r men of the country will not
change their conviction that an honest
criticism or discussion of the provis-
ions contained In the anti-lottery law
cannot with any show of justice be
held to be a violation Of that law. II
they are mistaken in tins belief, then
the law will have to be repealed or
modified. In this republic the gov
eminent cannot array itself against
the press and have the support of the
people,"
1t is the policy and practice in some
of the monarchies to inhibit criticism
by the press of acts of government,
but until the enforcement, or alleged
enforcement, of the antl-lottery law,
no one dreamed that such thing
would be attempted in the United
States. Houston (Texas) Post, Sept. s.

A contemporary says that those who
have round shoulders may make them
selves shapely and healthy ii they will
but bestOw a little trouble and perse-
verance on the process. This consists
in going through the simple and easily
performed process OF raising ones self
upon the toes leisurely in q perpendic-
ular position several times day. A
perfectly upright position must be
taken, with the heels together and
the toes at an angle OF forty-five de-
grees. The arms must be dropped
lifelessly by the side, perfectly relaxed;
the chest must be raised to its full
muscular capacity, and the chin will
be drawn in. The further instructions
are to slowly rise up on the balls Of
the feet to the greatest possible height
thereby exercising all the muscles of
the legs and the body; then to come
into a standing position without sway
ing the body backward out OF the per-
feet line. Repeat this exercise per-
sistently. and good effects will soon be
noticed. Courier Journal.

Syrup

The majority of well-read phys
icians now believe that Consump-
ton is a germ disease. In other
words, instead of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by innu-
merable small creatures living in the
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do
tf' the leaves of trees.
A Germ The phlegm that is

Disease. parts Of the lungs
which have been
gnawed off and destroyed. These
little bacilli, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores Of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with
frightful rapidity. Then German
Syrup comes In, loosens them, kills
them, expells them, heals the places

tives become germ-proof and well. o

whose face she had had pointed out to
her the day before as the society

also of sharp eyes and sharper tongue.
She was elegantly dressed, says the

A Race OF Men who were Physically
and Morally Our superIors.
The Guanches the Inhabitants OF
tho Canary islands. are said TO be the
remnants of the ancient race. says the
Cornhill Magazine. who 10. 900 years
ago. peopled the drowned continent OF
Atlantis. They are reported to have
been strong and handsome. and Of ex-
traordinary agility OF movement OF re-
markable courage and OF loyal dispo-
sition; but they showed the credulity
Of children and the simple directuess
OF shepherds So tall were they that
the Spaniards speak Of them as giants,
and their strength and endurance were
so great that they were conquered by
strategem. but not force. They ran as
fast as horses. and could leap over n
pole held between two men five or six
feet high; they could climb the highest
mountains and jump the deepest ra-
vines.
Their endurance as swimmers was
SO great that they were accustomed to
swim across the nine mile strait be-
tween the Lancerote and Graciosa;
having no boats, their method OF fish
ing was to strike the fish with sticks
or catch them in their hands while
swimming. Their skulls which are
preserved in the museums of the is
land, and OF which l took photo
graphs, show marked cerebra, devel-
opment the frontal and parietal bones
being well developed and the facial
angle good. In the carly days of the
conquest before rapine and murder
had done their vile work, the
Guanches are spoken OF as being must
cal and fond OF dancing and singing.
Though so strong physically, the
Guanches were nevertheless very
gentle race; they rarely made war on
one another. and when the Europeans
fell into their hands they did not kill
them. but sent them TO tend sheep in
the mountains. So tame were the birds
in this happy land that when the Span
iards first landed they came and fed
out OF their hands. TO kill an animal
degraded man; the butcher was n
reprieved criminal and an outcast and
lived apart he and his assistants being
supported by the state. No woman
was allowed to approach the shambles,
and in such horror was killing held by
these gentle giants that no man could
be ennobled until he had publicly de-
iclared that he had not been guilty OF
killing any animal, not ever q goat.
Their standard OF morality was high;
they were monogamists, and adultery
was punished by Imprisonment and
death; robbery was almost unknown
among them, and drunkenness not
yet invented. The Guanches were
bound by law 10 treat women with the
| greatest respect and man was
obliged to make way for every woman
he met walking, to bear her burdens.
and deferentially to escort her home
should she wish it. II a Guanche was
ennobled for any great deed the people
were assembled on the occasion. and
among the questions asked to which u
negative answer must be given before
the patent Of nobility was granted,
was: HAS he ever been disrespect-
full to women?" The women are not
celebrated as having been beautiful.
but they were almost as agile and
strong as the men. Even in war the
women and children were protected,
and pillage was forbidden.
