A DAY IN BED.
An Experiment Few Healthy People
Have Ever Tried.

One often hears somebody say with Glae
that he is going to take day off or a LAY
in the country or day on the river, siys
the Pitsburg Times, but seldom, if ever,
that he is going to take a day in bed; and
yet a day spent when one really needs a
day off is one which deserves red letter
record in history. One lies late of Sunday
mornings, and tells what luxury it is not
TO have to get up at the usual hour, but one
never knows the glory of such a thing till
he spends a whole day in bed. To enjoy 1t
one must not be sick, nor pretend to be; he
must be in fairly good health and free from
trouble or worry of any sort. Then he Is
entirely himself, and it is the only place in
which he can be. AS soon as he dresses he
comes under restraint, not merely physical,
but mental, for no one can wholly escape the
influence of his clothes whether they be good
or bad, in fashion or out. For ages character
has been identified with clothes, and will be
for ages, in spite of all that has been or will
be said against it. One may not always be
conscious of the influence, but it exists all
the same. Not trace of it is felt when one
is in bed. There he is free. He can twist
and roll and kick and throw his arms about
as he will If he should do the like else
where there would be suspicious of his san
ity. day in bed is not a day of rest
merely, but of liberty. He has the infinite
for his own.
Not a few of Pope's best lines came TO
him while in bed. Thomson composed his
finest descriptions of natural scenery while
in bed. like thing doubtless may be said of
historians and inventors, and surely of the
humorsts. There is little doubt that the live
liest jokes current were thought out while
their authors were in bed. The blood flows
freely then, digestion does its perfect work,
the mind is relieved Of the care of the body,
the imagination and fancy roam the earth
and skies and gather of their treasures; the
inscriptions on the tablets of memory come
out and incident and adventure recur in a
light of their own, suggesting new ideas and
relations. One never knows what life is till
he has spent day in bed in full or fair
health, without thought save those which
come smiling to him in his rest.

THE VANISHING BUFFALO.
Hide Hunters SlauEiterinE the Yc
lOwstOne Park Herd.


lOwstOne Park Herd.
Prof S. p. Langley, secretary Of the
Smithsonian institute, in his report for the
last fiscal year, recommends that effective
measures should be taken to- preserve the
small herd of bison that remains in the
Yellowstone National park, survivors Of the
vast multitude that once roamed in freedom
over the western plains. The number, he
says, is much smaller than it has generally
been supposed to be, and probably does not
exceed fifty, and he insists that if protection
is not given to them there will be a speedy
extinction of their species. A few groups
Of so-caled "wood bison" are still to be
found in the desolate wilds Of the British
Northwest Territory, but 1t is not thought
that in number they exceed 200, and hunters
go even into that remote region and destroy
them. small herd has for some time
been known to be in the northwestern part
of Texas, and 1t is said to have been seen a
short time ago, the estimate being that it
contained fifty head of cattle.
Assuming, says the New York Tribune,
that these figures are approximately correct,
it follows that of the millions Of the great
animal which played an important part in
the history of the struggle to extend the
frontier of civilization, not more than 300
are surviving on the North American conti-
nent, outside Of the few specimens which
are to be found in the geological gardens OF
our own and other cities. Prof. Langley
recommends that the herd in the Yellow
stone region should be captured and placed
in the National Geological park at Washing
ton, where they would be fully protected.
Doubtless they would increase sufficiently tc
allow the starting of small herds in various
parts of the country, and thus save the race
from becoming extinct as is the dcdo or
the pterodactyl. There is more than mere
sentiment in this suggestion, and the buffalo
is just as worthy of preservation as is any
thing else that is identified with our marvel
GUS deVelopment.

After IA SGuatter.

Some OF the property owners up in Rock
ford township have been having all kinds
of trouble with squatters, who have tired to
take possession Of large amount of accretei
land along the river front. The squatters
have not been content to confine their claims
to accretons merely, but have been taking
possession of anything that did not have a
horse-high and hog-tlght fence around it.
Charles Gilmore is a squatter who has
been unusually active in laying claim to
large quantities Of good Iowa dirt OF river
formation and yesterday w. A. Smith filed
a suit in the district court against Gilmore
for the possession of property now held by
the squatter and asked the court for an in
