THF RRRANn ROV.

One of the mysterious incongruities of
this incongruous world appears in the
long and we'll known fact that a boy who
can run mile in a few minutes when the
running is to beat some other boy OF to get
to the swimming place or baseball field,
can't run whom he is doing srrsnds. 1t
has always been 30. There is. we believe,
doing errands eheerfully and rapidly.
The children of Adam and Eve didn't like
to "run errands." The little Jew boys
who wandered around in the wilderness
forty years with their parents could doubt
less chase quails and other animals with
great speed, but 1t is not stated that they
rejoiced in exhibiting their speed in 'srun-
ming errands." The Egyptian hieroglyphics
do not picture any boy who delighted to
60 quickly from one place to another
taking bundles or messages. Indeed,
some learned people think the sphinx,
which has stood SO long in one
place, may be intended to sarcastioally
typify an errand boy who has forgotten
"hC2o LAO bsok LOU W ~ VI "hoO Ao Whb So-
ing to say when he got there. The Greek
and Roman writer's do not praise the errand
boy. His virtues are not celebrated by
the learned monks of the Middle Ages.
Shakespeare speaks of him as Creeping un-
willingly" In our own day he is much
written about, but is always described as a
hindrance to civilization and q foe
of progress. An attempt has. been
made, by uniforming him, paying
him little money, and giving him tickets
to get signed when he gets anywhere, to
make him different from the Errand Boy
of Adam and Eve, of Israel, of Egypt, of
Greece and Rome, of the Middle Ages and
of the Elizabethan era But it is a failure.
What he was in the Valley of the Euphra-
ter, in tn evidences, under the shadow of
tho pyramids (where he liked to stop and
rest when running an errand") In Athens
and in Rome, In the Dark and Mid
die ages of Europe, and IN the days
of Shakespeare and Bacon, he is to-day
Thousands of years have passed since the
first Errsnd Boy forgot what he was sent
to do or say, or failed to get anywhere or
back. Nations have risen and fallen.
Civilizations have grown, ripsnsd and de-
csyed. Religions have served their pur-
pose and worn out. Progress has climbed
height after height. But chsngsless In
world of change, the same now as at the
beginning, stands the Errand Boy, as mys-
terious as the sphinx and as motlonless
when hurry is wanted of him.
Unimpressed, however, by the long
record of history aud the powerful force
of nature, dauntlsss American of Con-
cord, New Hampshire, thinks he can
change the Errand Boy. Hs is going to
mount him on bicycle aud rent him to
whomsoever will pay the price. 1t is a
bold scheme and may look promising to
some, but 1t has fatal defect. 1t will
surely be found that the nature of the
Errand Boy, ohsngeless for six thousand
years, will no: now be changed by the de-
vice of putting him on a bicycle. The
Errand Boy on bicycle may have more
fun than he had when the world was
young, or than he has had since, but the
errands will continue to suffer, as they
have from time immemorial.

When the Democratic congress really
gets at work on the tariff the performance
will be interesting. It is already an
nounced that the Administration bill"
will have enough free trade In 1t to reason
ably satisfy those who believe that the
Chicago platform meant something. 1t is
said that the bill will put duty on sugar
say 1 cent q pound-at the same time
cutting off the present sugar bounty; 1t
will reduce on steel aud iron considerably;
free raw material will be the fact generally.
There will be free wool, low duties on
homemade articles largely consumed in
Americs; there will be little or no reduc-
tion on luxuries, and SO on.
But such programme is likely to make
trouble in quarters where trouble has not
been looked for by the free traders. Henry
Watterson and others have made 1t appear
that the South ia ss solid for free trade as
1t is for Democracy. But hers comes the
Richmond Dispatch saying: The American
breakfast table must be kept free from
taxes on sugar, tea and coffee. American
tobacco must be preferred to that from
Sumatra; American cotton to Egyptian
cotton; American manufactured tobacco,
cigars, cigarets, etc., to foreign manu-
fsctured tobacco, cigars, cigarets, etc., etc.
In word, a country which raises hun
dreds of millions of dollars annually by
levying internal taxes cannot do otherwise
than lay countervailing customs duties in
order to prevent that country from being
ruined.
When the pinch comes it will probably
be found that the Chicago platform wasn't
made to stand upon and that it will not
bear the weight which some of the Demo-
Gratis will try to make it carry. And what
will the free traders do thenl

The Elephants Laughed.

Mr.. O'Shes, the well-known war corre-
spondent, tells the following anecdote of
an adventure with herd Of elephants:
a young friend asked me once TO show
him some elephants, and took him with
me, having hrst borrowed an apron and
filed It with orsnees. This he was to car
~ while accompanying me in the stable;
but the moment we reached the doer the
herd set up such trumpeting-they had
scented the fruit-:hst he droppsd the
apron and it's contents, and scuttled of
like q feared rabbit. There were eight
elephants. and when / picked up the
oranges / found l had five and twenty.
/ walked deliberately along the line, giving
one to each. When got to the extremity
of the narrow stable turned, and was
about to begin the distribution again, when
/ suddenly reflected that If elephant No. Z
in the row saw me give two oranges in suc-
cession to No. s, he might imagine he was
being cheated and give me smack with
his proboscis, that is where the elephant
falls short of the human being, so i went
to the door and began de novo as before.
Thrice l went along the line and then /
was in q fx. had one orange left and i
had to get back to the door. Every ele-
phant in the herd had his greedy gaze
focused on that orange. 1t was as much
as my life was worth TO give 1t to any one
of them. What WAS to dot l held 1t up
conspicuonsly, cody peeled it, and sucked
1t myself. II was most amusing to notict
the way those elephants nudged each othel
and shook their ponderous sides. They
thoroughly entered into the humor of th'

out overcrowding and without producing
a greater density of population than we
find In England or in Italy or in Japan or
in many of the provinces of China. The
two provinces of Kiang-Su and Ngan-Hui,
In China, support between them popula-
ton rather larger than that of the United
States on territory less than two-thirds
of the area of California.
Those who see all there is to see in the
great show at Chicsgo will have to do some
walking. The thirty nine exposition build
ings, with their galleries, cover nearly two
hundred acres, and 1t is estimated that q
person who undertakes to edo" the whole
show will have to walk through 124 miles
of aisles, and add to this the walks from
one building to another, and the distances
which must be trsversed many times, the
whole walk cannot be less than $50 miles.
And this does not include an immense
amount of walking to be done in visiting
other features of the fair.

ArtfaciaI Breathfng.

Artificial" breathing consists In forcing
the air In and out Of the lungs so strongly
that the chest visibly expands and Oon-
tracts. To learn to practice that, Il is well
in the beginning to stand up straight,
against o wall for instance, placing the
heels together, resting the arms (which
ought to be benp upon the hips; then push
the chest forward, while the abdomen is
retracsed 90 much that the weight of the
feet. After having come into this position,
close the mouth and draw In the air slowly
and blow 1t out slowly. After long or
deep breath one ought to hold that breath
for an instant before Il is blown out again.
This Is lung gymnastics, and the rational
of IL is that only thus are gases fully oon-
trolled- By holding the breath the air
comes to act on the whole surface of the
blood nourishing 81 and removing the i'm
pure gases. The iungs must be perfectly
emptisd before being rehlled and that can
only be done by foroeful breathing. When
one makes these experiments, the body
must not be tied down by close fitting gar
ments, bonds or an overloaded stomach.
The best time IL in the morning before
meals. The exercises should always be
taken in free fresh aud pure sir, or at least
before an open window. Five minutes
exercise will do wonders for healthy per
son. One must not expect miracles for
unhealthy persons from lung gymnastics.

of this Stove over all others. This interest
must continue to increase In popularity on
account of the cleanliness, convenience,
