Let the Little Ones SIeeD.

God giyeth His beloved sleep" and
little children should have plenty of it.
1t is the tendency of the times to dis
regard this necessity; hence the in
crease of nervous diseases among our
young men and women. Sleep means
growth with young people, and unless
there is much sleep there will be no
healthy growth.
Nature teaches a little child to lie
down and sleep whenever it is weary,
and after bath or after its midday
meal, and it is only through artificial
influences that little child leaves off
the habit of taking a daily nap, and it
is generally due to the mothers neglect
that it is finally dispensed with. Yet
the world often sympathizes with the
mother rather than the child when to-
ward night baby grows cross and fret
full, while the mother often grows i'm
patient, forgetting the long, tiresome
day which the little one has endured.
What wonder that these little ones
grow up into nervous young men and
women, with no constitutions to speak
of!
Many grown people are pressed for
time to accomplish all that they desire,
and in their march for gold or daily
bread, find little time to rest, yet there
Is no reason why they should begrudge
their children an extra hours sleep in
the morning because they have an In
herited idea that it is more healthful
for them to rise early, and they fear
that II they are allowed to sleep until
they naturally awaken, habits of lazi-
ness will be formed which will mar
their after lives.

BANK ROBBERS ARE AT BAY.
Five Outlaws Raid Black Hills
Bank and Are Driven OF.

Omaha, Neb.. June pa special to
the Bee from Deadwood says an attempt
was made to hold up the Butte County
bank at Belle Fourche, The robbers We're
driven off after a fight.
Four masked men entered the bank
with revolvers drawn and orderded the
customers and bank officials to hold up
their hands Hesitation drew a shot from
one of the robbers, which clipped off Il
large portion of the cashiers right ear,
who then complied with the command.
The safe and counters were relieved
of what they contained and the robbers
rode away.
Within a few miles of the town the
possee came upon the fugitives and a
running fight cnsued, which resulted in
one of the robbers surrendering. The
others are being closely pursued.
There were five men in Inc party who
made the assault on the bank. The pur-
suit was prompt the bandits having bare
" time to unhitch their horses and mount
before being surrounded. In the fight
that followed Walter Gay, of Gay <
Sons, was ShOt through Jhe cheek, IetelF-
ing painful wound.
The outlaws fired right and left while
riding out of town. Thomas Day, the
captured robber, was overhauled half a
mile from town, and IS now i'll jail at
Deadwood. He is a stranger i'll the Vi
cinity. The rest of the gang are now at
bay Mt the Three V ranch, few miles
from Belle Fourche, where they will like
ly be captured or killed 1t transpires
that less than $75 was taken from the
bank, Cashier Arthur Marble having
slammed shut and locked the doors Of
the vault with the entrance of the rob
bers. He was fired at three times, only
one shot taking effect. He tried to re-
turn the fire but his pistol failed him.

Weather Representations.

Letter writing is resolving itself into
very simple process. Half-printed
postal cards with blanks are sold in
many places in Europe, and one has
only to fill out the spaces left for tell
ing whether the sender is well or i'll,
about to go away or on the journey
home, in order to have missiye ready
for the mail. Another blow at letter
writing has been struck by the idea of
utilizing the mail system for circulat-
ing weather representations The
scheme for adding the latest weather
forecasts to the regular pOstmarks on
letters will be commenced by the post
office department July l. Applications
for this service from over forty post
offices have been filed, and it will be in
troduced first in New York. Chicago
and other large offices. BY this device
the recipient of letter will be able to
tell what the weather was in the town
where the letter was mailed, and what
the weather bureau guessed it would
be for the twenty-four hours following
its receipt. Fears are expressed that
this innovation may prove another
blow at the art of letter writing. Many
regular letter writers now fill several
lines of note paper with a description
of the weather they are "enjoying," and
if this subject is ruthlessly torn from
them nothing will remain. Perhaps in
future there will be no letter writing,
for newspapers will tell the news, pho
nographs record the voice, X ray photo
graphs show the innermost emotions Of
ones nearest and dearest, while the tel
ephone and telegraph, doubtless greatly
improved. may be used for catching up
such odds and ends of needed informa-
ton not otherwise conveyed.

CORNELL's POSITION ANNOUNCED
willing to Race Any College Eight
But VIII Enter No Combination.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, June q. - The
position of Cornell in college boat rae
ing was made known today, as follows
First-Cornell will, as victors, receive
almost any proposition from Yale and
Harvard that those colleges wish to
make, but will not present a PROPOSE
ton as to future engagements.
Second - No proposition will be ac-
cepted by Cornell that compels her to
join in an exclusive class with YAM
and Harvard and at the sacrifice of
her friendly relations with Colombia
and Pennsylvania.
Third-Cornell, Columbia and Penn
sylvania will combine for races prob
ably upon this course, and will invite
the University of Wisconsin to come
in. Yale and Harvard may also enter
if their exclusive dual agreement is not
a handicap.
FOurth-Cornell may try to arrange
to race again in England with purely
American methods and as the repre-
sentative of American college rowing.

PROGRESS MADE ON TARIFF BILL
Senate Agrees to Twenty Per Cent
on Hides.


Washington, June 29.-The senate
made good progress on the tariff bill yes
terday, disposing of the paragraphs relat-
ing to hides. which have been the source
of much controversy. As finally agreed
on the duty on hides is placed at 20 per
cent ad valorem, in place of /! cents per
pound, originally reported by the finance
committee The discussion was protract-
ed by drifting into a general debate on
trusts, and from that back to the sugar
trust
Senator Smith spoke at length against
the duty ON hides, while Senator Allen
supported the duty. The new para
graph was agreed to-30 to 20-one dem
ocrat, Rawlings, and several populists and
silver republicans voting with the repub-
licans in the affirmative.
The incidental debate on trusts led TO
Il severe arraignment of the sugar trust
by Messrs. Caffery, and Lindsay, and a
general discussion of means to deal with
trusts by Senator Hoar. Among other
paragraphs disposed of during the day
were all those relating to gloves, substi-
tute for the paragraphs on live animals,
iron ore and stained glass windows.

{ THREATENED HER LIFI

Spokane, June 29-William Perrett lies
at the Sacred Heart hospital suffering
from a bullet wound that will probably
prove fatal. He was shot by
Mrs. Alice Burkey, into whose rooms
he had forced entrance and whose
life he was threatening to take.
Two shots were fired by Mrs Burkey but
only one took effect. The bullet entered
the body about five inches below the
waist line and after passing through the
stomach and intestines lodged in the
muscles of the back, from which it was
removed by the attending physicians yes
terday afternoon. -Four holes were made
in the intestine by the bullet, one OF
which was three inches long, The furth'
er fact that Perrett was under the intlu
ence of liquor at the time he was shot
lessons considerably his possible chances
OF recovery.

COLOR IN ANIMALS.
How 1t Is Changed or Affected by
Food and Surroundings.

cOOu ana SurTOunu1nRss
Observation and experiment go to
show how large an influence food has
in determining the color of animals.
Everybody knows how easily the color
of the yellow canary may be altered
to an orange red by mixing cayenne
pepper with its food. though it is true
that the color change may be produced
only in very young birds whose feath-
ers are not completely matured. 1t is
also matter of experiment that all va
rieties of canaries are not equally sus-
ceptible to the influence of the pepper,
and it is very curious fact that If the
pigment that causes the red color of the
pepper be mixed with the food of the
birds without the other constituents,
yellow olOred canarieS are not in the
/ slightest degree affected by it, while
brown birds or the brown feathers of
yellow birds become distinctly lighter
in hue.
Here is another interesting expert
ment: The large tortotse-shell butterfly
normally feeds upon the leaves of the
elm, while the small tortoise-shell is
addicted to nettles; but when some i'm
agoes of the large tOrtoise-shell were
bred from caterpillars that had been
found upon nettles, they showed a
wonderful similarity to the smaller
species, though the color was nearer to
that of the larger. Quite in the same
line is the observation that the thorn
moth exhibits variations in color ac-
cording as the larva is fed upon oak,
hawthorn, lime, or lilac. Many other
experiments have shown Il similar eff
feet of food in modifying or completely
changing the color of animals.
Among the changes of color that are
most perpleXing, if one would refer
their cause to utility only, is that Of
the gull, which is blue and white, and
is therefore generally allowed to be of
protective value. But for the first
three years of their lives several COM
mon species of gull have n brownish-
speckled plumage. which is totally I'M
like that of the older birds. on which
fact Mr.. Beddard remarks: IF one
color be advantageous the other must
| be the reverse; and three years is either
considerable period, or it is not long
enough"
Another perplexing part of the sub
ject is the color Of deep-sea animals. 1t
is an established fact that marine ami
mails can and do live at the enormous
depth of more than five miles below
the surface of the water 1t is also
certain that the sunlight does not pen
citrate to that depth, so that the ami
mails that exist there exist in the midst
of more than midnight darkness. Yet
the fact is, that brilliant cOlOration is
generally found in them. OF what use
can it be? How can natural selection
or sexual selection have anything to do
with it? 1T is true, indeed, that there
may be phOSphOreScent light emitted
! by the animals themselves, and of this
there are many evidences; but though
the deep-sea fish may be guided to its
prey by series of natural "bullS-eye'
lanterns, the color of its prey could
have no protective effect, but exactly
the reverse.-Our Animal Friends.

Structure of Coral Reefs.

In order to prove, or disprove, the
accuracy of the generally I I'd
subsistence, or "Darwinian, theory. of
coral formations, it has been considered
necessary to know more thoroughly
one element in the construction OF
three peculiar formations-namely, the
thickness of the coral-made rock. With
a grant of 81. 500 made by the Royal
Society of London, Professor Lollas
was commissioned to execute borings
in the coral reefs of the Funi-Futi
atoll of the South Pacific. News has
recently been received that the bor-
ings have proved unsuccessful,a a quick
