The Real Vacation.

There are few wise Americans who
realize that what the vacation should
bring is not only change of scene but
doctrine of rest appeals with great
force. They make no attempt to get to
the fashionable summer resorts. but
shun those places almost as If the
crowded summer hotel We're pestilen-
tial. They spend hours of each day
under the cool, fitting, noiseless shad-
ows Of forest pines, where the wind
whispers the softest and the bees drone
drowsily among the low white blossoms
of the wood flowers.
To these even the latest novel has no
appeal, and the whole lesson of life for
the moment is to do nothing. to he moth
ing. In the great stiffness of nature
peace and health go softly hand in hanu
soothing the relaxed muscles with Il
power giving touch: and. in the deli
cious land of day dreams, the brain.
sung almost to sleep by the hushed
croonings Of the cool breeze among the
tree tops. grows young and strong again.
In the quiet of the grand cathedral of
its maker. even the soul forgets the
battles, the downfalls. the cuts and
sears Of life's great fight. and become
something the more wholesome, purer
and stronger.
4 week of such Il life is worth months
spent in dogcarts. yachts and evening
hops; but among the great body of those
who hurry away in early summer to the
country and back again in the fall and
who imagine they have had summers S
rest, such life is still, unfortunately,
unknown. n.-Boston Advertiser.

journalism Under Difficulties,

An opposition editors life in Alaska is
apparently not Il happy one. and the Ia
test journals from that region make It's
wonder what sort of government they
have out there anyway. \ late issue Of
the juneau City Mining Record fatty
acknowledged the truth of conteni-
porary's taunt that it did not dare to pub
lish certain things, and explains thus:
This To a certain extent is true, for
the simple reason that for publishing
certain facts threats have besp made by
a government officer of throwing oni
newspaper outfit into the bay. Such
proceedings are not pleasant TO contem-
plate when all we have in the world is
invested in the outfit. Then, again. when
we publish anything which does not set
tie well on the stomachs of some officials
we are arrested for libel and dragged
$50 miles from our home and business at
great expense. and placed under bonds
to await the action of grand jury to ex-
onerate us. If we had sufficient means
to employ counsel and pay our fare To
Sitka every month or six weeks many
facts would be published which through
our poverty we cannot afford TO publish.

Necessity for Keeping Clean.

An old physician being appealed TO
for some general comprehensive rule for
the preservation of good health, replied,
Keep clean" Cleanliness. from n med
ical point of view, generally means the
absence of noxious germs. The laity
generally comprehend in the term free
dom from foreign substances, while the
psychologist and moralist have refer
ence to purity of mind and soul All
these combined wouldn't form the first
principle of good health. Freedom from
all filth with reference To the body and
its surroundings. freedom from contain
ination of mind and soul would make
the individual not only free from ma
terial pollutions. but would inspire him
with sense Of cleanliness, feeling of
purity that would cleanse life and glorify
the consciousness of living.
There is meaning in the word
"clean" that penetrates beyond things
seen and touches the mental and spir-
itual nature of humanity. Cleanliness
in n material sense may not abhor dissi-
pations and debauches which impress
life with a sense of impurity. vitiating
the sources of health and impairing its
Judgment. Keep clean is an admoni-
ton carrying with it an inspiration
which not only invigorates life. but
makes it enjoyable and beautiful. Clean
illness brings not only comfort and
health, but it adorns living. gives exist
ence a charm, imparts consciousness of
life, real enjoyment, thought and feel
ing Of existence. the purpose and sane
tity of living There is world of mean
ing in the two little words keep
clean. n."-Jenness Miller Illustrated.

Indian Voters In Oklahoma.

The fact that the Indian can vote il
he lives lin seyeralty" and pays taxes
like any other citizen comes up AT odd
times 10 bother new states and terri
tories. In 1859 it raised great row in
Minnesota. The legislature having en-
acted that Indians. whether on reser-
vation or not. who had taken certain
steps i'll civilization. such as dressing
like white men and wearing their hair
ditto, should have the right to vote. Ole
Cullen, an Indian agent, promptly cut
the hair of all those in his charge, put
breeches on them and marched them to
the polls.
Among the hunors of the next cam
paign was Il dialogue like this: 'Heh.
who cut your hair" Cullen & Co. :
Now Judge John Dills and other law
yers declare that the Indians in Oklaho-
ma will he entitled TO vote at the com
ing elections. They say the law pro
vides that Indians taking land in sever
atty have the same right of franchise as
any citizen. and if this opinion be good
law the candidates will have $500 In
dians to buttonholc. If the Indians vote
it is likely To make Il great difference in

A Chcap Stone Road.

In 1871 piece of we'll made dirt road
in the small village of Gilbert, II, miles
east of the city of Davenport, Ia, was
selected for IA little experiment. The
road was sixty feet wide. with sidewalks
and cutters. the latter occupying about
sixteen feet. leaving forty-four feet for
the highway proper. Five feet from the
center line of this forty four feet. on
both sides of it. were staked boards, end

the boards was two-thirds full the first
boards filled were moved forward
When the boards We're removed the
upper edges of the rock rolled down.
thus widening the rock track between
one and two feet, leaving ON each side
of the stone good dirt road sixteen feet
wide.
When the dirt surface became muddy
the travel went over the stone center,
which was thus made solid and smooth
without an expensive roller. This eX-
pertinent was completed in 1873 and the
travel over il was probably five times
rs much as upon the average country
road For sixteen years it remained III
perfect condition. Within the last two
years about three dollars has been ex.
pended upon it in repairs. II is in per
feet condition still. Its original COS,
was ninety cents for each twenty-five

policy continued. every rod of highway

amized at this time, and no expense in

A Pet Crow.

A well known up town family has a
pet crow which is given the liberty of
the whole household. Ii is as precise
and particular about its appearance as
a prudish young maiden, and frequently
it is allowed place in the dining room
when the family meal is eaten. When
night comes it stations itself at one of
the fence corners and keeps looking
ont for intruders until the early dawn,
setting up loud cawing at the sight of
any stranger approaching. A valuable
diamond earring belonging to one of tl.e
daughters was missed from the dress
ing case the other day while the crow
was perched on the window sill. Search
was made everywhere for the missing
piece of jewelry without success, and
the finding of it was given up as one of
the impossibilties.
a few days since the crow was fol-
lowed into corner of the yard filled
with empty boxes, and in one of them,
hidden away from sight, was found
perfect bric-a-brac shop. n number of
bright silver and copper coins, a filigree
comb, several lustrous tortoise hair or
naments, lot of bits of broken col
ored glass. and stock of shining but
tons of endless variety, and the dia-
mond earring. The character Of the
crow has been considerably lowered i'll

discovery. ry.-Philadelphia Press.

Glycerin Instead of Sugar.

As an instance of the value of glycerin
given internally may mention the EN-
ployment of glycerin by diabetic pa

articles of diet ordinarily favored with
sugar. which they of course are inter

a matter Of little moment, but it really
is not so. The necessary omission of all

has q particular tone of its own. The
