Physical Culture and Long Life.

According TO leading medical jour
nal. out Of 5000 soldiers who were ex
amined recently by Il surgeon nearly 50
per cent. were found to be suffering
from heart trouble as the result of forced
exertion. This leads that journal to the
conclusion that athletic sports are not
conducive to longevity and it points as
a proof TO France, where there is no
craze for muscular development, and
where one finds more people over the
age Of sixty than in England, with its
rage for physical culture. 1t would
seem however. that the distinguished
editor Of the journal in question con-
founded the rage for display" athletics
with that for general physical develop
ment.
1t has been long noted in the gymna-
siums that those who train the most per-
sistently give out the quickest. The
cause Of it is that they develop the mus
cles at the expense Of the nervous
strength. but there Is a moderation IN
both which means better health and
longer life. and to the majority Of those
who enter gymnasium work that is what
is sought rather than record breaking"
capa bilities. - Boston Journal

TOBACCO TALK.
Rev. Alex Walker Gives His Views Oh the
Tobacco Market.

Rev. Alex Walker Gives hjs Views on the
Tobacco Market.
We Lear the cry of "hard times and
money scarce" Why is this? 1t is net
because money is not as plentiful as ne
have seen it, but it is because they have
nothing to give in exchange for the money
erouS than they were in by gone days,
when all Of mans wants were supplied
at home. Home supplies are what We
need. Away with such stuff that we can
buy this, that and the other cheaper than
we can make it at home" This is all the
production Of idleness. Make your sup
plies at home and let your tobacco crop
be in truth the money crop. When you
make all your supp les at home, then the
tobacco you make will be in deed and in
truth your money crop, and when you go
something to sell and pay for what you
buy with something you have produced
on your farm-such things as town peo-
pie have need of and have to buy to live
On. Instead Of going to town to buy sup
plies to take home, carry supplies to the
town people. Let us have our smoke
houses at home instead Of the northwest
Make what is needed at home on YOUR
farm and discard that false notion that so
many have imbibed, that it is cheaper to
buy it than it is to raise it. Such stuff has
ruined many, and if pursued will ruin the
last farmer that adopts it as a rule. Every
farm can be made, with proper manage
ment not only self sustaining but profit
able We should never let our wants be
greater than our ability and means to
supply. Let every farmer live within the
bounds Of his income; never let your con-
sumption be as great as your production,
and when this has once been adopted as
rule, you at once, realize growth that is
healthy and lasting, which will soon
cause change of tactics, and instead of
farms being mortgaged to merchants, you
will find the merchants going to the
Lax HIeI tp UOIIO" money, anu Wien tnl5
is the case you Wiz see cheap money and
prosperous people. What more could
we ask or Iesire'
Now, in conclusion, let us urge our
people TO begin at once to make all
needed supplies at home, and make to-
bacco the money crop, and when We
say money crop we mean TO say the net
proceeds from the sale Of the tobacco
after paying the outlay for labor; the re-
mainder is profit not to be paid out for
contingencies of any kint-but go 10 the
increase of the original stock The farm
properly managed should be a source of
supply for the non producers, but on the
other hand when the farm has to be sup
piled from abroad, it shows want of
and will soon become to be
a losing business, hence many leave their
farm saying it will not pay" and seek
other employment, That often proves as
as the farm, the secret of
which is bad management.

Adams was the pedestrian President

Gen. Washington was in his prime a
great sportsman. He was particularly
fond of fox hunting, keeping pack OF
hounds from imported stock and several
hunters. With these he hunted almost
every day. In fact, he lived in all re-
spects as does the typical country gen.

the buffalo was forced by this cruelty
and greed of civilized man TO seef
other pastures. Such as did not
whiten with their homes the old
grazing grounds wandered away from
their natural environment TO the
Businesses Of the mountains, far from
all the hauDts OF human kind. There
they have lived precariously, but it
seems they are not allowed to exist
even in exile. Man, who breaches
gentleness and practices brutality,
intends to chase them higher than
the timber line, to escape the bullet
only to die OF starvation.
On behalf Of the buffalo. now al

persons who are trailing the final
representatives of the race through
the canyons of Colorado should be de-
nounced, not alone as mercenary and
unworthy sportsmen, but contempt
ible yandals.

Animals with Human Voices.

A species Of crow in India has a
note which exactly resembles the hui
man voice in loud laughing. The
laughing jackass, when warning his
feathered mates that daybreak is at
hand, utters cry resembling group
of boys shouting, whooping and
laughing in a wild chorus. The
nightjar has cry like one lamenting
in distress.
Among birds that have the power
of imitation the parrot is the best;
but, as matter of fact, its voice is
decidedly inferior to that Of the my
nah, species of starting. Curiously
enough, the male bird speaks In a
high, clear tone, like that Of a child,
while the female has a gruff voice.
Another bird, the morepork of Aus
tralia, is frequently heard vehement
ly demanding more pork, F." in clear,
stentorlan voice. The whip-poor'
will also demands his punishment in
a distinct imitation of the human
voice, and the command Of the guines
fowl to come back" could easily bt
mistaken for human voice.
Coming to quadrupeds, the cries o
none approach more closely that O
the human voice than those of seal
when lamenting the loss or capture
of their young. The cry Of wound
ed hare resembles that of child II

Mounted Duel with Lassos.

when your South American is hit by

the rest of his time to his rivals. II

two signing SWANS in question had
agreed to settle by duel with the
lasso which should wed the damsel.
A hundred piratical-looking cow
punchers assembled to witness the
fray. The rivals appeared mounted
on mettlesome mustangs, each with
long, powerful lariat Of tough bull
hide. They were both experts with
the lasso, and their horsemanship
was marvel. They approached to
within forty or fifty yards Of each
other, then began to maneuver for a
deciding cast After several feints
the lariat of the younger Of the rivals
went whizzing through the air so
swiftly that the eye could scarce fol-
low it. The other sunk his spurs
deep into his mustang. The animal
shot forward just in time to save his
master from the deadly moose, and as
he did so the second lasso rose into
the air and settled around the Shout
ders of the man who missed, pinning
his arms to his sides as In a wise. He
was jerked headlong out of his sad
die His successful rival drew him
to him, hand over hand, half lifted
him from the ground by the tena
cious thong and put bullet squarely
between his eyes. He then turned
and rode directly to the hacienda
where lived the cause of this barbar
ic scene. She mounted behind him
and he came galloping back, swing
ing his sombrero.
