Tedious work of Old BooIsmakers.

During the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries monks frequently isolated
themselves from the world and repro
duced the Bible in illuminated manu-.
script. The work was necessarily slow
and in no instance was it accomplished
in less than 35 years. Guido de Jars
was producer of the Illuminated man.
uscripts and beautiful specimen OF
his work was sold along with the books
of Sir W. Burrell in 1890. This copy OF
the Bible had occupied half a century
in its production. A note in the begin
ming of the manuscript in Jars hand.
writing indicates that he began his task
in 1914 and did not conclude it till 1904

AXE care of their health in youth and

old saying that ga stitch in time saves

The best of all health-restorers and

nervous troubles and wasting diseases.
It corrects all disorders of the digestion,

MACEO AGAIN.

Maceo's ghost will not down. 1t is
now reported that he is alive though
badly wounded. This news comes to
Key West, Florida, through Sonora
Dolores Mirabel, an inSurgent sympa-
thiZer, who has just come from the
insurgent camp, and states that
Maceo was shot in the face by DIR.
Zertucha, who was to receive $50, 900
for the job from the Spanish. She
states that Maceo is in the hands of
four doctors, and that while the
wound is Of a most serious nature, it
is thought that he will be around
again in a few months. While this
story may be true, still it seems to
lack considerable of that important
element. If, however, Maceo is dead,
it is somewhat peculiar that so much
mystery surrounds that important
fact. It would seem that by this
time all doubt could be cleared up, but
lust as the world is settling down to
the fact that he is dead, comes again
this story of denial. This story, if
there is any foundation for it, puts
the Spanish authoritiesl' upon the
island of Cuba in an unenviable posi-
tion,-that of resorting to cold-blooded
assassination, in order to wipe out the
revolution in process there. Whether
Maceo is alive or dead, there is no
longer any doubt but that Dr.Zertucha
worked for his betrayal, and the fact
that the Spanish authorities have in
no way denounced such proceedings,
indicates that they are also party to
the attempt to get rid of Maceo by
means most foul.

LEGISLATIVE MOVEMENTS.

During the present month the legis-
lative mills in 81 states will COM
mence their regular grind. Many of
them convene this week. There is
always certain legislation which a
state needs, but in order to get that,
there is always large amount of use
less legislation enacted, which in some
instances is a positive harm to the
state. 1t is said that Gov. Pingree, Of
Michigan, has taken steps to have the
enactments which load down the
statute books of that state, passed to
regulate this or that, but which do
not provide any means for their en-
forcement, looked up with view of
having those that are really meri-
torious, amended so that they will
prove of some value, and those that
are useless, wiped off from the statute
book altogether. This will doubtless
prove a good thing for Michigan's
statute books, but ambitious legisla-
tors will doubtless soon lumber them
up again with useless enactments. AS
general thing, when man succeeds
in getting into the legislature he
seems to think that his success in the
eyes of his constituents depends upon
getting one or more bills enacted into
laws, the merits of the said laws be-
ing of little consequence. Some of
the most serviceable legislators to the
public have been men who have in
PRODUCED few or no bills, but have
used their influence in getting good
ones enacted into laws, and useless
ones killed. 1t is, however, poor
legislature. that out of it's seasons
work there does not come much good
much of it's work of course can only
be Judged from a local standpoint,
having been shaped to meet some
local feature. If the grain could only
be separated from the chaff our legis-
lative seasons would be productive of
much more good and far less harm.
But that does not seem to be possible
at present.

THE LEGISLATURE.

Tomorrow, at noon. the state legls-
lature will meet in its regular bien-
NAL session, and The usual legislative
grind will commence. Outside OF a
few matters there does not seem to be,
as we recall at present, any very I'M
portant legislation to be passed upon
this winter. One of the most import
ant matters will be that Of reappor-
tioning the state into legislative dis
tricts. If this work is taken up as 1T
should be, at the start, it ought to be
disposed of in two months. The con-
stitutional amendments will call for
some legislation, notable among which
is that providing for home rule by
cities. The legislative act in this re-
spect should be carefully drawn ana
the rights of the people duly protect
ed. Probably half dozen acts could
cover all the other matters for which
the state is really suffering in the way
of legislation, outside of the appro-
priation bills, and with these latter
the most rigid economy should be OBJ
served. There is no good reason from
the present point of view why the
legislature cannot do up all the work
necessary and adjourn in sixty days,
and that ought to be the aim of the
leaders in both houses. 1t would be a
great saving in expense to the state,
and no legitimate interest would suf-
fer at all. The Republican leaders
could not make better move for the
party than to insist upon such a pro-
gram. Let there be short session.

UNCLE SANS cash box shows sur
plus of S651, 900 for the month Of De-
cember, which is something new of
late. The existence of this surplus is
explained by the fact that the Decem-
Der disbursements are each year be-
low the average. The total deficit
for the first six months of the present
fiscal year reaches S39, 295,732. The
available cash balance in the treasury
is 1927, 615. 461, of which nearly S137,-
100000 is gold. A year ago the gold in
the treasury was only S64, 100000. For
the month of January large deficit
is looked for, as the disbursements
will be unusually heavy.

REVISING THE TARIFF.

The free trade element of the
country seems to be considerably
stirred up because the Republicans
have taken steps to revise the tariff
along protective lines. Some free
traders state that the Republicans
must understand that merely tariff
revision will not satisfy the country,
and get off many of their old chest
nuts about a protective law being
piece of robbery. They do not seem
to understand that the people pro-
nounced for protection as well as for
sound money, and that in going
ahead and revising the tariff the Re-
publicans are simply carrying out the
mandate of the voters. The work
which is being done does not signify
shat the Republican party looks upon
the tariff as the only work which is to
be done by them while in power. 1t
would seem that they were showing
good sense in taking hold of the tariff
question first and getting it out of the
way so that other questions may re-
eeive consideration. One of the es-
sential things is to provide revenue
sufficient to meet the needs of the
government, and it is also important
that our industrial interests receive
such protection as will give labor a
chance here against cheaper labor and
hence cheaper products from
abroad. The disposition on
all sides seems to be for a
moderate bill which will give suffi-
Gent revenue for the government and
adequate protection to all our indus
tries. 1t is stated that in some
schedules the disposition of the COM
nittee is to make little or no change
from the present law, so far as rates
are concerned. but the duties will be
changed from ad valorem to specific,
and so prevent all chance of cheating

Hold on to Your Gold Dollars.

Winona Herald:
A business man yesterday desired
to get five gold dollars, to be disGribut-
ed as Christmas presents. He visited
the bank with which he does business,
and, presenting a S. bill, asked for the
gold dollars. He was somewhat sur
prised when the teller Informed him
that only one banking institution IN
the city was known TO have any gold
dollars recently; they were sold for
Sl.75 each. The teller also informed
the business man that there were
now very few So 30 gold pieces and
that they brought a large premium.
In fact, no gold pieces under the de-
nomination of S. can now be had in
any quantity without paying pre-
