Considerable of stir was expert
eneed one day recently in the State
Normal School at Winona, MINI.
By preeoncerted arrangement a
large number of the lady students
came to school with their hair done

men got wind of what the girls
were to do, and in the spirit of mis-
chief, nearly all the boys parted
their hair in the middle before enter

young men to the presidents office,
where they were given the choice
ofleaving the school or parting their
hair on the sides as usual.

Muscle and Yigor-A Difference.

Many muscular men succumb to fati-
CUES borne with ease by persons far

Muscle does not imply yigor. In fact,
it is not difficult of proof that athletes
do not live as long nor enjoy as good
health as the average individual who is
vigorous-that is to say, whose diges-
ton and sleep are unimpaired, whose
nerves are tranquil, and who has no or
ganie tendency to disease. These re-
quisites of vigor are conferred upon
those inherently weak, no less than up
on those debilitated through wasting
disease, by a thorough, persistent

The life of a locomotive is from
twenty to thirty years. Some have
lasted much longer, the Baltimore
and Ohio's old egrasshoppers for
instance, which were shown at the
Worlds Fair. They were built in
1886 and were used as switchers at
Mount Claire as late as last spring.
OF course, certain parts of an en-
CINE wear out quickly and have to
be renewed from time TO time, but
the frame, the boiler, and the wheels
are good for many years of service.
Perhaps the high rates Of speed at
which trains now run may shorten
the careers of engines, but as the
new machines are built heavier and
stronger than their predecessors il
is probable that they will "lives as

Tho FORM of Bird,. Epp..

DIR. Nicalsky of st. Petersburg at
tributes the form of birds eggs to
gravity. He thinks that every egg
not yet coated with solid shell d.
parts from the spherical form a1.a
elongates, simply because of pressure
on it by the walls of the ovary. In
birds which keep a vertical position
when at rest, such as the falcon and
owl, the soft egg becomes short
through the birds weight acting
against the ovarian pressure. In
birds which, like the grebe, are near
ly always swimming, the egg length
ems, because the weight of the body
acts in the same direction as the oya-
rian compression.-Yankee Blade.

Money and Marriage.

The Golden Rule put this question:
Should young man marry on less
than 81 900 a yearl" The replies were
from cities and villages all over the
United States and from persons rep
resenting various occupations-day
laborers, mechanics and professional
men. There was no theory in there
plies. The writer's told what they
had proved by experience, which was
that if a young couple were fit to be
married they could live on 81, 600 or
on one-half of that. If any husband
having competent wife doubts this,
let him hand to his wife the house,
keeping allowance to be expended at
her discretion. Minneapolis House

Blasts from Inc Horn.

1t is hard to convince a dyspeptic
that the world is growing better.
Every sensible man you meet
will admit that he was fool last
week.
One of the best helpers the devil
has on earth is the hypocrite in
church.
The love that is numb until it
speaks on tombstone doesn't say
much.
No man will ever be celebrated
for his piety whose religion is allin
his head.
Tempting child to do wrong is
as much a sin as shooting at a man
with a gun.
Some men who start out to set
the world on fire give up at the first
thunder-clap.
There is no place in the Bible
where God has promised to make a
loafer happy.
Unless a Christians walk CORES
ponds with his talk the less he has
to say the better.
Most Christians are willing to do
great things for God, while but few
are willing to suffer.

nasium for exercise while their

DEEP SEA DIVING.
rhs DImcuIty and Danger Of Going Down.
to Great Depths.


Tbs difficulty and Danger Of Going Down
to Great Depths
The steamship Alfonso XII. having
on board 10 boxes of gold coin, each
box worth 910, 600, struck on a rock
and sank at Grand Canary while on
voyage from Cadiz to Havana In
1856. 1t was ascertained that the
specie was at a depth of % % faith
oms- 16O feet and grave doubts
were entertained of the possibility of
any diver being able to Withstand
the tremendous pressure incidental
to such a depth namely, some 81
pounds to every superficial square
inch of his body. Experiments at this
depth were made off Dartmouth, and
two men, Lambert and Tessier, were
found equal to the perilous task.
Also5 dresses were at length made
which would remain water tight at
SO great a depth
An expedition was sent out by the
Marine Insurance company, the div
ers to receive reward of per cent
or e500 on each box recovered. Lam
bert got up seven boxes and Tester
two. So terrible was the pressure
that neither man could stay below
for more than a few minutes, and
Lambert for some time after his re-
turn suffered from chronic paraly-
sis. of the bowels, by which he was in
certain respect reduced to the help
less condition of babe in the cradle.
Probably a tightly sealed kettle sent
down empty to the same depth would
have been crushed fat.
AS it was the divers only succeed
ed IN finding nine boxes out of the
ten, 910, 900 thus remaining below. A
subsequent expedition went in search
of this box, and the diver, after be-
ing down for 90 minutes, was hauled
up only to die. Nothing discouraged,
fresh expedition went out, with two
divers, from Germany.
The first of these was promptly
hauled up, half dead, only to be sent
ashore to the hospital raving mad;
the other went down, but returned
declaring that no box was there.
Whether he really got SO far as the
lazaretto from which the nine boxes
were taken is open to doubt. The
pressure at such depths must be posi-
lively crushing. In the accounts of
one of the deep sea dredging expedi-
tions it is mentioned that when the
trawl was raised from a great depth
the pressure proved to have beer
such as to crush together the wood of
the trawl beam, SO that the knots
started out of it.-Westminster Re

The Democratic members of the
United States Senate are facing the
most momentous problem that the
party has had to contend with since
1861. The Wilson bill win 90 to the
senate this week, and the question
for the Immediate consideration of
that body is, what viii they do with
We do not intend to instruct our
senators as 10 their duty, for we can
not measure their party allegiance.
The collective expression ofthe DEM
Observation-Disclosures favor
of the bill, and this fact we desire to
impress upon them.
But there is another part of the
question that relates solely to the
welfare of the party, and will con-
tribute to its success or its defeat, as
the case may be, at the elections this
fall. And that is, relief from uncer-
tainty as to what the legislation is
going to be. 1t is better to have the
Mckinley bill, iniquitous, unjust
and oppressive as it is, than to have
the stagnation that necessarily and
unavoidably waits on the delayed
action of congress. If it be deter
mind to defeat the measure, be hon
est and manly enough to vote
against it, and then refer the matter
back to the people for vindication
of such action.
Don't defeat it by lacking amend
ments to it that no one wants, and
that are added soley for the purpose
of assuring its defeat. Don't vote so
as to prolong debate and have the
measure drag its weary length along
into the campaign, and thereby as
sure the defeat of the party. Don't
make speeches that no one wants to
hear, or to read, for the subject is al
ready talked nearly to death, merely
to hear the sound of your own voices.
The business intrests of the coun-
try are in a state of unrest, waiting
the result of the contest over the
measure. The millions ofpeople en-
gagged in trade, manufacturing, labor
and transportation demand speedy
settlement of the question one way
or the other. The senator that at
tempts indirectly to accomplish that
which he wants done, but which he
fears to advocate boldly, cannot
thereby escape the responsibility of
his vote, and the effect of his votes
on the general result. A vote that
contributes to delay will be taken to
indicate unfriendliness to the meas
ure, and desire for its defeat, and
will receive criticism accordingly.
The Democratic party of West
Virginia, with the exception of a
few maIcontents that are interested
in coal mines, or coal hauling rail-
roads, are in favor of the Wilson
bill. They want it passed. But if
it cannot pass they wanti it defeated.
The question must be settled. If
it isn't, the party will be.

safer at night with a light burning,
but an expert burglar lately cap
tured, when confronted with some

never to burn a light at night as a
burglar always chooses a house

it makes him see if the oc-
