The Baby Incubator.

The man who conceived the idea OF
Matching babies in incubators was un-
doubtedly genius and deserved the
reward of a genius. Ii he had moi
succeeded in his scheme he would have
been laughed as crankand his future
would have been ruined. as so often
happens to great men whom the in
credulity of their neighbors prevents
from doing any great work.
But he did succeed. The baby was
incubated and to-day is as completely
Matched as any other baby ever was.
Certainly then the man who did this
remarka bic thing deserved all he asked
in the way of recompense.
But look what happens. The mid
dleman" gets between him and his
consumer and arranges to take four
dollars for every dollar that goes rs
the recompense of genius. And that
is the whole story of what is going on
in the country everywhere all the time.
The non-producer and non-earner gets
in between producer and consumer and
takes the lion share of profit from all
the great new inventions as we'll as
from the very old invention of con-
verting actual perspiration into mer-
chantable product.
The baby incubator is the very latest
novelty OF Promethean genius. But
there is nothing new at all in the poll
teal economy OF distributing the
profits on the first baby Matched in it.
That is the ole story-as old as the
w0rld.-New York World.

A word u Campers.

A holiday under canvass can be made
a remarkably pleasant experience =
congenial spirits compose the party,
but there is a common mistake made
by too many of those who take to the
woods at time when fish are the only
lawful quarry. | refer to the practice
of taking guns and rifles to camp when
the law forbids the killing of any game
There is no sense in carrying a weapon
which is not to be used. and | know
cases where the fact OF one being with
in reach has made 4 lawbreaker of q
man who meant no harm. but was
tempted by an unexpected chance at
unlawful game. Furthermore. country
people visiting camp and seeing gun or
rifle included in the outfit are apt to
conclude that it is there for use. and
that the campers will have quiet try
at whatever game appears. This idea
encourages the countrvman to do bit
of illegitimate killing himself when he
gets chance. Gun and rifle are ex-
cellent in their proper place, but that
place is not in July camp. The usual
excuse offered for their presence is the
possibility OF shot at bear or wild
cat. That is all very fine. but the
bears" and cats really killed have
always appeared to me to strangely re-
semble does and fawns. It is far better
to leave weapons at home than to run
the risk of being tempted to join na-
tive in that 1nisera bic business, .'hoct,
ing" or lacking. ."-Outing

All About the Mouth.

Somebody has discovered that the
human mouth has a steady motion to-
ward the left of the face which will in
time bring it somewhere IN the neigh
invincible tendency TO eat only with the
teeth which are On the left SIDE of the
mouth. This wears out the left teeth
more than the right teeth. and this in
turn gives the upper and lower Jaw an
inclination toward the left. It Is the
opinion of this learned scientific person
that in the course of a few million of
years the human mouth will have
completely changed its position. and
will be situated rather nearer to the
left ear than 20 the nose. While no
fault can be found with the train of
reasoning that has led scientific per-
son TO this conclusion. he would never
theless possibly find it difficult TO eX-
plain why the mouth should pause
when it reaches the left ear. II the
habit OF chewing on tine left side OF the
mouth can move it fourth OF the way
around the head. it Is evident that a
continuance of the habit will in time
cause the mouth to make q complete
circuit around the head. Fortunately
we can save our descendants from hav-
ing mouths at the back of their heads
by resolutely eating on the right side
as we'll as the left side OF our mouths.
but unless we do this persistently the
march of the mouth toward the left
will continue with all its painful con-
sequences

About Farm Prices.

The lot of the American farmer has
not been entirely a happy one of late.
Even in Maryland. SO close to the seat
of Government and with the nearby
Washington marketfor farm products.
the. farmer has not been prosperous.
A sturdy Democratwrites to the Ameri-
can Economist that 1.-The provinces of
the demagogue Free-Traders are not
panning out worth cent, but tribula-
ton on every hand abounds and the
farmer finds Jordan hard road to
travel"
This is from good Democrat, who
likens the campaign promises of his
party in 1892 to pie crust made to be
broken He makes this bold assertion
because he finds that ''the farmer gets
from 3S to 10 cents for his wheat and
not that $l.25 promised when Cleve-
land was made President. The
President should look into this and
remit the farmers the balance due them.
unless he is able TO give a satisfactory
explanation why the deadly blight of
treason has blasted" the prices of farm
products.
Our farmer friend in Maryland makes
the following Interesting comparisons:
Is92 Is94.
Eggs, per dozen ..... IL @20 cents. S1s cents.
Butter i er pound. .25 "a 30 cents. II cents.
Fine horses, each. $50 so
Plugs. .......-....-.... 80 a $50 SO a So
These are few of the farm products
in which our Maryland friends is in
terested. That Tariff Reform has
not enriched him is evident. Farmers
elsewhere have had similarexperiences
They begin to appreciate that, when
men are working in the mines. fac
tories. lumber yards or elsewhere, they
have money TO spend and there is a
demand for farmproducts. The farmer
keeps on producing all the time, but
when mines. factories and lumber
yards are closed, the people have no
money to spend. and the demand falls
off while the supply is the same. y
glut of farm products depreciates their
value. The farmer knows this now.
He understands that Protection means
prosperity. and that prosperity is what

EARTH'S STRONGEST MAN.
Lundin, the Modern Hercules. now
with Ringltng Bros shows.

Among the stories of the Biblew which
have contributed for centuries to make
that book of books the most absorbing
romance of all history. there is none
which possesses greater interest for
young or old, than that of the heroic
Samson. whose deeds of strength and
endurance were in his time the wonder
of civilization. Since then every era
has had its man of iron muscle, whose
feates have held the world spell-bound
with wonder. 1t has. however, re-
mained for the nineteenth century to
produce not only the superior of the
long line of steel limbed men who have
emulated the muscular prowess of the
Biblical Samson, but one whose feats
of strength. marvellous endurance and
perfect symmetry of form have never
been even approximately equaled. The
name of this muscular phenomenon is
Lundin, and for several years he has
been the marvel of Europe. The
fabled Hercules would have been put
to blush by this paragon of strength
and muscular development. Lundin is
beyond all question the strongest man
in the world. He lifts $500 pounds as
easily as a child raises toy. He
converts himself into a human bridge.
and without an effort supports plat
form containing twenty full grown men.
which three powerful horses play at
see saw. He supports stage on which
an expert plays upon Il grand piano.
while a soloist renders repertoire of
popular selections. These are but u
few of the many almost incredible
feats which the great Lundin accom-
plishes. This remarkable man is now
in the United States having been brought
to this country after a long series of
expensive negotiations by the Ringling
Brothers. for the Worlds Greatest
Shows, which will exhibit in Cape
Girardeau, October S. Lundin COM
mands the enormous salary of 81. 800
a week, and travels in his own special
car. He lives like a prince. and
everywhere he goes he is the cynosure
of all eyes. He can be seen nowhere
but with Ringing Brothers Shows.
and at ihe end of the season he returns
to Europe to fill long engagement.
In conjunction with Lundin are a
world of other new. novel and unique
features, which. IN their entirety.
characterize this famous exhibition as
the greatest aggregation which genius.
research. artistic pre-eminence and
unlimited capital have ever combined
to organize.

food. and four hours is usually sutfi-
cient for them to complete the diges-
ton of an ordinary meal. Therefore,
with 6 o'clock dinner, the juices are
through by, say, II O'Clock, so for
nine hours they have nothing to do.
Such a long period of inertia has a
tendency to stagnate the stomach and
lead to generation of deleterious gases.
Into such stomach hot breakfast is
rapidly thrown without the slightest
smoothing of the way and the juices
are called upon to do violent work
without warning or preparation. The
result is undigested matter that be-
comes soured by the action of the gas
trio gases, and dyspepsia is the in
evitable result. We English folk are
looked upon as gormandizers because
we eat five meals a day, but dyspepsia
is not prevalent with us, except among
the very high livers, and we are a
hearty race. Our habit of eating
hearty supper late at night is. l be-
lieve. the chief reason for our freedom
from chronic stomach complaints and
diseases. If Americans would only
eat at more frequent intervals during
the day and try to arrange the time in
something like equal division between
meals the natural ailment would de-
crease at rapid rate. l am sure. -

Apples and stay at Homo.

People who lead indoor lives have
VIGOROUSLY bad livers. Unless that
organ gets sympathetic shakings it
becomes sluggish, the skin turns a
greenish yellow or blotches. the brain,
having an impure blood supply, gets
lazy. and health declines. The Morse
man called the apple food for the
gods, and used it torenewt the strength
of the body and mind. There is not
only lime, albumen. fibrine. acid and
water in the fruit. that the system

What a Japanese Triumph Would
Mean.

Assume complete Japanese victory,
with a peace dictated to the Chinese.
and what will be its result? AS We
judge, a change in relation of Europe
to Asia which may affect the whole
future of the world. The feebleness of
Asia is born in great part of self-dis-
trust, and that self-distrust will have
received in a Japanese revival an i'm
mense, perhaps destructive, shock.
An Asiatic power will have shown it.
self capable of utilizing the resources
of civilization in war, of arming itself
up to the European point and of work
ing its army and feet as efficiently as
those of any European state. Why
should that Asiatic power acquiesce
any longer in submissiveness, agree to
bear laws directed
against its subjects or abstain from
taking any territories it wishes for?
For example. merely to make the
argument more concrete, if Japan is
the power some of her admirers sug-
gest, she could take the Philippines
away from Spain with the greatest
ease. and turn that magnificent group.
which the Spaniards only neglect. into
a new island kingdom. Her examples
would be initiated. We may rely on it.
by China, by Siam. by native states

and, above all. by Turkey, though

alton. until at last they had each of

DON'T BUY A DICTIONARY.
1t VIII Enslave You and Make You
Helpless on All Occasions.


Don't ever be foolish enough to in
vest in dictionary, for just as sure
as you do you won't dare to write a
note to your washlady without con-
sulting it.
I've known people who were consid-
cred good orthographists, but after
hobnobbing with the departed Mr..
Webster for aweek or so they actually
hesitated before writing their own
names.
The more you study dictionary
the more you wonder what you were
doing when you went to school. The
very smallest words that tot of 6
would stick up her nose at prove to be
the most unsolvable REFUSES, and you
are never happy until you've ogled a
few dozen pages of your stupid old
dictionary.
And the habit grows on you. too.
After while you feel as if you wanted
to find out the meaning of words while
you are asleep, and you really long to
be able to spell names backwards.
If somebody says: How do you
spell receiver is it lie or ei?" you
can't tell them without hunting your
old Webster. You are a perfect slave
to domineering master, and if you
don't eventually get to carrying a
pocket edition in the crown of your hat
or in the sleeve of your jacket you
may call yourself lucky.-Chicago

has already preceded him, and his feat
of supporting a platform and twenty

to my mind that the almost universal
prevalence of the complaint over here
is due to the system of living pursued,
so far as partaking OF food is regard
ed. Americans eat three meals a day.
and those three are usually embraced
in period of not overten hours, as an
IS o'clock breakfast and o'clock
dinner appear to be the general rule.
Consequently from the last meal of one
day to the first one of the next some
thing like thirteen or fourteen hours
