Monday night" says the Vancouver
Independent, burglars were at work
in the city. First they broke into
Sparks and Tracy's tinshop and stole
a bit and brace, seemingly knowing
where the tool was located. They then
bored hole in the rear door of Chuma-
sero's drug store and stole all the ci-
gars available. Firm here they went
to the rear Of Bakers cigar store, where
they effected an entrance by tearing
away the wall, and stole nearly 500
worth of cash and goods combined. The
thieves had evidently studied their
work in advance or were familiar with
the places 1t is another one of those
mysterious robberies which have oc-
CURED here with regularity, covering a
space of three years, each job being
in about the same man
ner. The goods in the store were taken
under the glare of electric lights.

Morris tribune., 1893-06-28

Ninety-fVe per cent of business is
done by credit instead of cash. The
reason why this enormous volume OF
trade can be carried on is that all
letters Of credit are supposed to be
backed by the cash which is available
on demand. But as soon as man or
a firm begins to issue notes without a
fair prospect of being duly paid, cred
it falls and financial depression is the
result.
Local conditions greatly effect the
tone of trade, making often the differ
ence between good and hard times.
It is believed by many business men
of our community that the hard times
which appear regularly every summer
are to a great extent owing to the
extensive book accounts. Why should
we all live year behind instead of
keeping our debts paid to date? Or,
still better, why not live a year ahead
and thus be prepared for season of
short crops or low prices9
No better advice could be given a
farming community like this, than to
''pay as you co. If the farmer has a
good crop and good market this year,
let him pay his accounts to date and
begin bank account. Ifnext year is
also prosperous, then he may begin to
branch out in building and other i'm
provements without getting into debt
without prospect Of paying when due.
Then the merchants and all other
class in the community would be able
to avoid for time living from hand
to mouth, and there would be fair
distribution of currency and not SO
much of one mans money in another
mans pocket.

termination to call congress together

The Thumb.

Thumbs have been appreciated ever
since the world began. The ancients
used to call the thumb the other hand.
Barbarous Kings used to swear and make
compacts by their thumbs In Rome it
was q sign Of favor to wiring and kiss the
thumb, and Of disfavor or disgrace to
lift them up or turn them outward. A
man who was hurt in his thumbs was
excused fro1n serving in the Roman wars.

cut off their than bs, 50 as to remain

and the water frozen through and

as ice. The lump was taken away and
thrown into an old rubbish barrel, where
it remained several weeks.

strong, and it split the cylinder Of ice,

Perpetuation of Physical Defects.

Diseases of malnutrition, such as govt,
scrofula, cancer and tuberculosis, re-
quire several generations for their full
evolution, and this evolution may be re-
tarded or even wholly arrested by inter
marriage with healthy persons of an
other nonrelated family. Acquired con-
stitutional taints and abnormal habits,
as alcoholism, kleptomania, when once
firmly rooted in an individual organism
tend to propagate themselves like fam
lily features and become hereditary for
several generations, even when the origi-
nal factors have ceased to act. Thus
the acquired habit of the father may be-
come natural feature in his son or
daughter, just IS the puppies of well
trained pointer or setter require but very
little training to point or ''set.
Defornlities, supectiuous digits or toes
and rlalfor:natioGs in general may be
caused by accident to the mother, by
powerful mental impressions arresting
or altering the development of the IN
born child, and the child born with any
of these defects may become the parent

where an hours varied exercise, run, a

How Fast Does Thought Trave1P

Professor Donders of Utrecht has made
some interesting experiments in regard
to the rapidity of thought. By means
of two instruments, which he calls the
acknowledgement" and the ''noerna-
tachometer," he obtained some impor-
tant results. His experiments show that
it takes the brain .067 Of second to
elaborate single idea. Writing in re-
gard to this Professor Donders says:
Doubtless the time required for the
brain to act is not the same in all indi-
viduals. 1 believe, however, that my
Instruments may be perfected until we
will be able to determine the mental
caliber Of our friends without our friends
knowing that we are testing their apt
ness" The professor further says: "For
the eye to receive an impression requires
OFT of a second, and for the ear to appre-
ciate a sound .049 of q second is neces-
sary. These curious experiments have
established one fact at least-viz, that
the eye acts with nearly double the
rapidity Of the ear" philadelphia Press.

Demoralizine the Busy Bee.

AS the magpie is notorious for stealing
glittering objects, SO we find the parallel
among savages who have been known to
help themselves on shipboard to all the
movables, being fascinated by mirrors,
cutlery and jewelry. Sometimes bees,
in order to save trouble, attack in
crowds well furnished hives and carry
off the provisions; they gradually &C
quire taste for this and form compa-
MES and colonies of brigands. If bees
are given q mixture Of honey and brandy,
they can acquire taste for it and be-
come irritable under its influence, drink
and cease to work, and like men fall
from one vice into acknowledgements

It's Song Is Like the Filing of Saw

OF the Acadian owl, one Of the rarest
of New England birds, Audubon says:
"This little owl is known in Massachu-
sets by the narno Of the saw whet,' the
sound of its love notes bearing a great
resemblance to the noise produced by
filing the teeth of large saw. These
notes, when coming, as they frequently
do, from the interior Of deep forest,
produce a very peculiar effect on the
traveller, who, not being aware of their
real nature, expects as he advances on
his route to meet with shelter under a
saw1nill at no great distance. Until l
shot the bird in the act I had myself
been moro than once deceived in this
manner"
