Fifteen thousand pilgrims annually
visit st. Baume, in Provence, not far
from Marseilles, where Mary Magdalene
is said to have spent the last 80 years Of
her life.
The legend, according to the Nouvelle
Revue, runs that Mary Magdalene came
from Judaa in small boat with Laza-
rus, Martha, the two Marys and Salome,
bringing with them the body of st. Anne,
the head OF st. james the Less and a
few wee bones of the innocents massa-
cred by King Herod. But from early
ages this story has been disputed, and
the Able Duchesne, one of the most cru
dite writers ON the early Christian saints
and martyrs, considers that the relics Of
Mary Magdalene were probably sent
from Constantinople about the seventh
century A Greek breviary, however,
speaks Of the saint as having died at
Ephesus, New York Recorder.

Savage Indifference to Pain.

Generally speaking, the more civilized
and refined races are more sensitive to
pain than barbarous and uncivilized
races. This was proved by DR.. Felkin
in series of carefully planned expert
ments which he made upon Arabs, ne
groes and Europeans. The stoical forti-
tude Of the Arabs he considered due to
peculiar mental characteristics, of which
mental repression, self control and
logged endurance were the leading fea-
lures. The indifference to pain In ne
groes he thought was due to diminished
general sensibility, and he was led to be-
lieve that the relative sensibility of Euro
peans, Arabs and negroes was in the
proportion of one, two and three. A
New Zealander has been known to chop
off his great toes 50 that he might get on
a pair of boots which had been given to
him. On one occasion a native Austria
han came to a settlement TO get wood
en- leg, his own leg being burned away
at the knee. 1t had been wounded SO Sc
verely that amputation was necessary,
and as his tribe had no appliances to stop
the flow Of blood his leg had been simply
burned of. -Elmira Telegram.

pERFEcT PHYSICAL REPosE.
A Firm Hair Mattress Rather Than
Feather Bed Promotes 1t.

A Firm Hair Mattress Rather Than a
Feather Bed Promotes 1t.
There is an old story of an Indian and
a "paleface," who, after long days
journey, lay down in deserted cabin at
nightfall to rest. The Indian, wrapping
himself in his blanket, stretched himself
on the floor of the cabin with his feet to
the fire and was soon asleep. His COM
panion meantime has espied feather
bed in another room, and congratulate
ing himself on his discovery jumped in
and was also soon in doze.
With the first rays of the morning
light the Indian rose refreshed and ready
for the days task. He went to arouse
his comrade, when, lo he found him
dead from the exhaustion of the previous
day.
Luxurious repose is never true phys
ical rest.
To enjoy that blessing to its fullest ex-
tent freedom from restraint must be al
lowed every part of the body A firm
surface is required-one that will tend
to keep the body stretched out at full
length, that the lungs and heart may
feel no sense of restriction by compress
sion of the chest walls, and that the
blood may have uninterrupted course in
every direction.
We should never be guilty of suppos-
ing that the person whom we saw sit
ting in chair with his chin pressing on
his sunken chest was enjoying true phys
ical rest, no matter how fast asleep he
might appear to be.
The tendency of the body TO gravitate
toward the lowest part of a feather bed
is beyond remedy.
In this position the whole body is Of
ten 80 curled ue that no one part is free
from construction. The chest walls are
caved in, and the whole body suffers
from the consequent lack of proper oxy-
genation of the blood and the restriction
which is placed upon its general circula-
ton. The blood moves sluggishly, and
as a result the condition of "fat and
flabby" is superinduced.
This condition is never likely to follow
the constant use of firm hair mattress,
for the blood has no chance to get drop
steal from too sluggish circulation.
Perfect physical repose, like perfect
physical activity, is dependent upon a
proper equilibrium of the bodily func-
tons during slumber.
The story of the Indian and the white
man might easily have been founded on
TACT. Youths Communion.

A correspondent at Zurich, Switzer-
land, gives translation from the daily
paper of the city's laws concerning BIZ
cycling Bicycling is only allowed upon
written permission issued to competent
riders. This permission must be carried
by the rider 1t contains his name. oc-
cupation, date of birth, place of nativity
and address, and it costs francs year.
Racing is forbidden, and in narrow
streets the rider must dismount Spe-
cial stress is laid upon the speed Of the
machine.
On crowded streets, turning corners,
the rider must go slow. He must not
ride without using the handles of his
machine to steer by. He must ring his
bell in ample time, and if that is not
needed he must politely warn the pedes-
trian. Care must be taken not to worry
or brighten the foot passenger. On sim
gle seated bicycle not more than one per-
son may sit. More than two bicycles are
not permitted to ride abreast. On holt
days, when the streets are crowded, BIZ
cycling is not permitted at all.
On the other hand, the bicycle shares
with other vehicles the privileges of the
road. Should the rider be the cause of
an accident to pedestrian he must dis
mount, render what assistance lies in
his power and give his name and address
to an officer, together with a written re-
port of the matter.-Chicago Journal.

Said bright young lady who attends
frequently strictly first class theaters:

the theater if it is of proportions to in
terfere at all with the view of those sit
ting behind me. certainly think there
is great need of reform in this matter of
headgear at the playhouses. The mana
gers should formulate another rule and
strictly enforce it--that big bonnets and
hats be left at home or removed at the
amusement houses. Other rules are
rigidly carried into effect at the theaters,
and there is no reason why another and
one of the most important of all should
not find place among them and be as
carefully observed.
1.-The other evening leaned forward
and asked lady sitting in front of me
il she would not remove her headgear,
as it interfered seriously with my view
of the stage. She gave me look that
was principally one Of amazement.
When she had partially recovered from
her establishment, she said that her hair
was not arranged in a way permitting
the removal of the article. OF course
that is something to be borne In mind by
ladies who are inclined TO favor this new
departure at the amusement places. -

A Word
About
Advertising.
. .
Advertising in Dull Times.

ut is easy enough to be good
when there's no chance to be bad,
easy enough to do business when
times are booming, say P0ft-
able Ad0erttstng, and thereby
points moral for the advertiser.
Why is it that business men will
cut down in part or altogether do
away with the agency (advertising)
that brings them the most Of their
business at the very time when
greater need for it exists, is a
problem very difficult of solution.
What makes business dull for a
great many business firms is the
fact that there are few advertisers
who have shown their cunning by
pounding away harder than ever
during dull times, and as a result
are getting most of the business.
1t is the faltering advertiser
who never succeeds, but he never
comes to realizing sense of this
fact until driven out of business
by his more aggressive rival.
A glance at the efforts put forth
by the worlds most successful
merchants shows that that success
depends upon and was brought
about by AdOeytlslng. There is
not much difference in the other
business methods of merchants.
They all, as rule, sell cheaply
and have what the people want,
but the long-headed man lets the
public know these facts, while his
unsuccessful rival does not.
Much also depends upon the
proper preparation of an adver-
tisement. If you do not feel COM
petent to write a good advertise
ment, bring the facts to THE
News office and we will endeavor
to assist you. THE News, by the
way, is one of the best advertising

AMERICAN WILD TURKEY GOBBLER.
are generally too wild, but half blood
gobblers are not as wild, and are suit
able for crossing with domestic hens A
small proportion of wild blood improves
the size, form and general appearance
as well as the vigor, without being dis
advantage in any way. A quarter wild
cross Is better for practical breeding
than pure wild or half wild bird.
Half wild crosses do well if allowed a
large range. but are not well suited for
woody countries or as easily kept on
small places as the domestic turkey.
Wild turkey hens under domestication
and wild first cross hens often disappear
in the spring and are not seen until fall.
when they usually return to their own
home with a brood of nearly full grown
turkeys. Half blood mothers make their
young too wild. Half bloods reared by
domestic turkey hens are not much in
clined to stray. Quarter bloods under
certain conditions may be as wild as the
wild bird of the woods.
The flock Of half wild birds reared at
the station were very tame and unsus-
picious until several were shared for ex-
hibition. Since then they have been
shy. The wild blood gives the cross an
astonishing ability to care for themselves.
1t is apt to have the strongest influence
in breeding. If first crosses are bred to-
gether, the stock resembles the pure wild,
and after several generations cannot be
distinguished from the pure wild by good
judges The older the bird grows the
more he shows the wild blood. Crosses
have much of the superior game flavor
of the wild and command higher price
for the table. Some wild bronze crosses
that are half and three-quarters wild
blood are as large as the pure bronze
turkeys. Several years crossing, how
ever. with the selection of the largest
for breeding each season, gives the great
est size.
The feathers of the wild turkey lie
very close and hard, so that the bird
weighs more than it's apparent size
would indicate. Mature birds have a
tuft of long, bristly hairs projecting

length of 0 inches and sometimes is
foot long.
It is to be hoped that the time when
wild turkeys are to become extinct is far
distant. The methods followed by the
average turkey raiser SO depreciate the
stock that without the occasional intro
duction of fresh. hardy blood from the
forest it would become very much de-
generated. When there are no wild tur-
keys except those preserved by man, the
salvation of the domestic turkey will de-
pend upon fanciers-those who breed
for beauty and utility.

The Dairy Business PAYS.

1--WE have never seen period of de-
preston in dairy products that carried
the price below profit in production but
once in SO years." says Hoard's Dairy
man. "That occurred in the early part
of 1879, when cheese, for some unac-
countable reason, went down to 8 and 8
cents, but took sudden rise in the latter
part of July to d good paying price,
which it has steadily maintained ever
since. Every kind of grain raising, meat
production, wool growing and the pro-
duction of hops or tobacco seem to be af-
fected with frequent periods of depres-
sion when the price goes below the cost
of production.
''This is true at the present time of
wool, tobacco and wheat. Indeed both
wheat and wool have been in the dumps
for two or three years. The production
of butter and cheese presents cheering
contrast in this particular. For years
there has been good, steady profit in
the production of first class article.
Farmers who are thinking of engaging
in dairying will do well to consider this
view of the matter The dairy business
is sure, steadfast and at the same time
reasonably profitable. Where the cream
cry plan prevails, its returns are fire.

purpose and brought up with common
young turkeys. Often nests of wild tur-

Matched on the farm. The domesticated
wild birds usually persist in roosting
separate from the others, generally in
the woods or on the top of house or

become more gentle and fearless than
the domesticated turkey, but if chased
or frightened they recover their wild
habits very quickly.
