THE NEW BIBLE.
Work That Will Be Unobjectionable In
Chicago Public Schools.

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-The new Bible pre-
pared for the use of public schools has
been completed. 1t will now he sub
mitted to the board OF education, who
will pass judgment upon IL. The aim OF
the compilers was to prepare a work that
would be unobIeotionab BILE to any religious
denomination. IL has now been % years
since the board of education stopped the
reading OF the. Bible I'm public schools
here. Up TO 1874 IL was a regular duty OF
the teachers TO read a portion OF tho
sEcred volume TO their scholars each day.
BY some this exercise was approved, but
to Others 1t became distastefui. 1ne OPP
position TO IL grew, and after a long and
s~tubbornly contested battle, the Bible
was evicted from the public schools.
"A Few years ago a movement MAS begun
to rclnstate the Bible In the public
schools. The book just completed is the
outgrowtb OF a suggestion made by Pro-
lessor David >. Wing that a committee
consisting OF members Of the Protestant,
Iatholir. Jewish and other denominations
compile n book for tho use Of the school
children made mp OF selections from the
Rihle. At the beginning 4, was decided
that the version recognized in courts by
English law should be the one TO be taken.
as ths school Is established pre- e~minently
for the State.
For the convenience of the children the
book Is graded i'm It's arrangement. Those
selections appearing first ON its pages are
adapte1 to the needs aud intellectual
standards of the lower grades of the
grammar schools, the latter part OF the
book being better suited for the more
mature minds.

What Is Fatigue?

Fatigue is the natural result of labor,
and as such is periodic symptom with
which every healthy person is familiar.
1t is one Of the laws of organic life
that periods of relaxation shall succeed
periods of activity. The heart itself is
normally in repose for about one third
of the time consumed by each beat-a
fact in which there is something par
ticularly suggestive and interesting,
since Psychologists agree that about one
third of the "a hours should be devoted
to sleep.
Life is made up of series of vibra-
tions in which tension and rest succeed
each other. The heart vibrates about 20
times minute; the vibrations of the
respiratory organs occur about 16 times
IN the same period, while the vibrations
OF the whole organism may be said to
complete their cycle once in "a hours
Abnormal fatigue, state approaching
exhaustion, occurs when one attempts to
alter natures rhythm, when the hours
of tension are made to encroach upon
those which should be devoted to rest,
when muscle and nerve already fatigued
are driven to further exertion. Fatigue
Va ~ hihu hhONA suo IT,
suits, in tho case of the athlete, in heart
weakness and shortuess of breath-"losS
of wind, " rs it is called-while the long
continued fatigue occasioned by excess
i've application to professional or bust
ness pursuits results in nervous prostra-
ton or even in paralysis.
While excessive fatigue is in itself IN
wise, one of the chief dangers which re-
suits from it is that commonly indicated
by the term catching cold.'' Thus tine
danger of sitting in a draft or ON the
damp ground is many times doubled
after great exertion. The application of
heat to the surface is moro logical pro-
cedure after extreme fatigue.
Loss of sleep is one of the first sypm-
toms of abnormal fatigue. Habitual in
somnia from this cause is to be treated
only i'll one way, by absolute rest

THE RUSTLERS' WAR.
Outgrowth of Trouble Between Cattlemen
and AGriculturists.


In Wyoming irrigation struggled for
some years with an obstacle moro formula
BILE than aridity. This was the organized
stock interest which fourished on tho
public lands, wastefully using the public
streams to produce crops Of natural hay
and water great herds of cattle. While
many of the leaders of this industry were
of liberal and progressive mind, and freely
conceded that they had neither moral
nor legal right to stand in the way of
progress, an aggressive and troublesome
minority insisted that cattle were worth
moro than men to Wyoming.
Tho final conflict came in tho "rustler's
war; of 1892, with it ignominious and
crushing defeat of the cattlemen and their
hired outlaws from Texas. With that
fiasco the barriers of opposition foil once
and for all, and the irrigation sentiment
has since dominated tho state. Reclama-
ton and settlement in Wyoming and sim
liar localities elsewhere have never really
menaccd the stock industry, but have rath-
er vindicated the necessity of its reorgnniza-
ton upon n moro democratic basis. There
will be more cattle in the aggregate but
distributed among n multitude of small
owners living in the irrigated valleys
There they will raise tho diversified prod
ucts essential to their support, and great
crops of winter fodder for cattle, while the
adjacent uplands will serve for summer
pasture. This process has begun, and il
results i'll the elevation of tho character of
the men and CT t!cir industry alike-Wil-
liam Z. Smythe, in Century.

NORMANDY CIDER.

&c u Very Fine and Produced by tina
Millions of Gallons.
AS fact the finest cider is not made
by the British grower, but in NorInan-
dy. They have in that province brought
cider making to perfection. The total
produce every year there amounts to
hundreds of millions of gallons; and
it Is made with the utmost care. To be-
gin, they choose the site of The orchard
with Judgment. and see that the soil
is of the type which apples love; and
they are equally thoughtful IN select
ing the varieties of the apple most
fit for cider. Indeed, for the very finest
cider. their soicitude is 50 great chat
none but the second or third years
fruit of the trees is used; and when
the process of fermentation is reached
nothing IS left to chance. Chemists OF
great experience watch the changes in
the liquor; and the skill with which
the process is regulated is based on the
knowledge gathered from long prac-
tice. The result is that some Normandy
cider is equal in dslicacy and favor
to fine champagne, and many cheap
champagnes are simply sophisticated
cider.
This deception Is very general. The
great bulk of the cider made in Nor
mandy goes TO the champagne districts
and is used TO make cheap champagne,
and to form the body of other wines,
too. Port, it seems. con be made, and
