DANGEROUS ToAs.

Gum Balloons and Bagpipes That Spread
Loathsome Diseases,
There are few persons who walk along
the streets of London whose attention
has not been directed to the exceedingly
ingenious toys which are sold by the
itinerant vendors for the delectation Of
children, One of these is hollow tube
of paper, furnished with short piece
of bamboo at one end, mp to which 1t is
coiled by the action of very slight steel
spring. On blowing into the bamboo tbs
coil is unrolled and reaches forward
nearly yard. The sudden extension OF
this coil produced by blowing in it is
source of great amusement. Toy bag
pipes. are also popular coptrivances.
These are not blown in the usual way,
but the breath Of the performer Is made
to initiate small india rubber ball,
which, once blown into, supplies suf-
ficient air to play few bars OF any
popular tune.
Our contemporary, The Lancet, has
called attention to the possible conse-
quences of buying these toys, which, it
says, are presented to child after hav-
ing been inflated by questionable breath,
and perhaps wet with the moisture
of the still more questionable lips Of the
vender An infected npouthpiece, it
says, has not unfreqnently been knewR
to be the origin of grave constitutional
troubles. This is perfectly true Persons
who would hesitate to drink out of
glass that has been used will buy and
present toys of this kind to their chill
dren, not knowing by whom they have
been used or by what disease they may
be contaminated. Among the impeyeIr-
ished makers and vendors sore Threats,
diphtheria and contagious fevers in ev.
cry stage may be raging, and children
may contract fatal diseases even of a
worse character than any we have men
toned by blowing and using these JqQess
tionable toys Surely it is only neces,
sary to call attention of persons to the
evil. for careful supervision would pre-
vent the dissemination of loathsome
disorders by these means. London

The Pioneer Press of Monday says
in regard to our honored townsman,
Edwin j. Jones:
Senator-elect E. J. Jones of the
Forty-ninth district, came down from
his home, Morris, aud spent the day
at the Windsor, where he engaged
quarters for the winter. Mr.. Jones
had hard fight in his district, which
comprises Big Stone, Traverse, Grant,
and Stevens counties. His opponent
was D. P. O'Neill, who served in the
the house in 1892 and who was the
fusion candidate of the Democrats and
Populists. Mr.. Jones received ma
iority of 692 in this district and car
ried O'NeiIl's town by majority OF
ten votes. In his home county, Stew
ems, Mr.. Jones ran remarkably well,
carrying every precinct in the county.
Mr.. Jones has resided in Morris since
1878, and has been engaged in the
lumber business since he was eight
cen years old. He has been village
recorder, has served on the council
and in 1884 was elected maoor of the
city. Mr.. Jones has been successful
in business, has faculty for making
friends and will be a leader amongst
the working members of the upper
house.
"The people of our district" said
Mr.. Jones, "have taken deep inter-
est in the work of the pine land inves-
tigating committee and they were
anxious to see it continued. That
was one of the issues of the campaign
and am heartily in accord with the
sentiments of my constituents, for |
have no doubt that the stealings
have only begun to be unearthed.
Our people also want some legislation
which will settle the ownership of the
lands the indemnity belts of the sew
eral railroads. While these lands are
in dispute they must lie idle, as
neither the federal government, the
state or the railroads can give title to
them. The result is that the improv-
ed property has to pay all the taxes
and the lands in dispute reap a pro-
portionate benefit without sharing
the expense. For this reason our
people are in favor of the enactment
of law for the taxation of unused
railroad lands. | shall advocate an
increased appropriation for drainage
in the Red river valley, and hope the
commission will expend a part of the
money in extending the Mustinka
river ditch in Grant county. That
river overfows it banks every spring,
and if the ditch is extended several
thousands Of acres of land which is
now practically useless will become
available for agricultural purposes"

Civilized Men Take to Tobacco as a Level
Above the Lower Animals.
In the opinion of about four in every
five men the essential difference between
man and the inferior animals is that
man smokes tobacco. Occasionally pre-
cocious monkey has been Taught to
drink beer and smoke pipe-Old Torn
in the London zoo, for instance-brt
this only emphasizes the exclusive h11-
mauuess of smoking. The monkey Is
nearest kin to man and is in full prog
ress toward the human state. As the
ultra temperance lecturers affirm, ~
dog wouldn't smoke the vile weed, "
No other animal than superior man and
the anthropoid ape will smoke Perhaps
in the civilized white world one man in
five is the victim of some defect that
disqualities him for smoking. The de-

in-law. The remaining four are in the
full enjoyment Of all their faculties
and the right to pursue happiness
through cloud of tobacco smoke.
Lack Of opportunity to smoke is with
out doubt the most affective evil under
which majority of mon suffer. A
large proportion Of men are employed
in offices, stores and shops where rules
against smoking are rigidly enforced,
This is entirely proper. No superior
smoker ever smokes while working To
do that is to debase the luxury and to
take off the keen edge of the pleasure.
1t is incompetence and dissipation. The

1t is a we'll understood fact that it
is not work that kills, says the Massa-
chusetts Medical Journal, but worry,
and from this text some most sensible
and profitable hygenic discourses
have been preached during recent
years. The conclusion of the whole
matter is this: Brain work is con-
ducive to health and longevity, while
brain worry causes disease and short
ems life. The truth of this statement
and its application to what we see
around us, are evident enough; yet it
is we'll that such subjects should be
continually discussed. A life of in
tellectual labor, although severe, like
that performed by the judges of our
highest courts, or by scholars and
persons devoted to literary pursuits,
if unmixed with excitement, and fol-
lowed with regularity, is not only a
happy life, but is seen also topromote
bodily health and long life. On the
other hand, mental cares, attended
with suppressed emotions, and occu-
pations, which from their nature are
subject to great vicissitudes of for
tune and constant anxiety, break
down the lives of the strongest. Ev-
eryone has seen a class of men whose
early mental training was deficient,
and to whom the writing of memo
randa was irksome, engaged in mid
die life in great undertakings, and
taxing the memory with mass OF
complicated business accounts, sim
ply because they could more easily
remember than write. The power of
memory for certain kinds of facts is
often truly astonishing; but the
strain is at last too much, and they
die before their time. The brain
worry of our school children might
furnish useful illustrations Of the
truth of the same general proposition,
but we forbear. "Don't worry"

Where the Plant Grows and How It IL
Prepared For Consumption.
Black licorice is made from the juice
of the licorice plant, mixed with starch
to prevent it from melting in hot wealth
er. The licorice plant grows for the
most part OH the banks Of the Ilgris
and Euphrates rivers, which flow
through immense treeless prairies OF I'M
cultivated land The climate OF these
great plains is variable. Half the year
it is mild and pleasant, but for three
months it is very cold. and for three
months in summer hot winds sweep
across the country, raising the tempera-
ture to lO4 degrees for weeks at time.
The licorice plant is shrub three
feet high and grows without cultiVa
tion in situations where its roots cak
reach the water. The usual time OF col,
lecting is the winter, but roots are dug
all the year round. At first the root is
full of water and must be allowed to
dry, O process which takes nearly a
year. 1t is then cut into small pieces,
from six inches to foot long. The good
and sound pieces are kept, and the rot
ten ones are used for firewood. The llc-
orice is then taken in native river boats
of Bassora, whence it is shipped In
pressed bales to London.
AS the valley Of the Euphrates con-
tanned one of the earliest civilizations
in the world, it is probable that licorice
