THE WAR SCARE UP AGAIN.

Within the past week or ten days there
has been a considerable renewal both
I'm this country and in England Of the
vicious talk of war between this country
and England. This talk has been started
by Secretary Sherman's improper dis
patch to our English Ambassador re-
Gently published, in which he openly
charges the English Government with bad
faith In carrying out the Behring Sea
award. Great Britain has her views Of
her rights and obligations under that
award, and she has the right TO assert
them without running the risk Of being
insulted beiause they do not coincide with
the views which representatives Of this
country may hold. Mr.. sherman's dis
patch was an unprecedented one, and a
most improper one. and we are not at
all surprised that it should have been
offensive TO many Englishmen.
But this talk OF war between England
and America is the merest nonsense
There is not the slightest danger OF that
The bone and sinew Of this country have
no idea whatever Of having trouble with
England. The two people are practically
one. they are indissolubly united together
nv mvriads Of ties. and. If the occasion
reouired It, they would soon show the
iingoes and demagogues that they were
reckoning without their host in trying to
set the two people by the ears.

Good Everyday Rules That May 30
Easily Followed.

Good Everyday Rules That May 30
Easily Followed.
| In the first place always rise at tho
same time in the morning. Lying abed
Sunday morning three hours later than
any other day in the week is not real
~ any pleasanter, and, besides, it
throws the whole scheme of your meals
out for that day. know q family
and they ought to know bettcr-who
have breakfast at eight on all week
days, lunch at one and dinner at six.
On Sundays, that is once in seven days,
they have breakfast at ten, dinner at
one and hearty supper at five. The
result is that by seven o'clock Sunday
night every one In the family feels
stuffed, unnatural, tired, cross and
everything else that is disagrceable.
Don't do this. Eat breakfast Mt the
came time every morning III the week.
If at eight on Tuesday, thennt eight on
Sunday. And the same with lunch and
dinner, or dinner and supper.
When you get out of bed in the morn
ing, strip and go through a fivc-minute
exercise, after studying what partic-
ular parts Of your body and what mus
cles are weak. BY going through these
exercises, whatever they are, for five
minutes, you will end by being in a
glow, perhaps in perspiration. Then
take q bath. Don't make the mistake
some people make OF thinking that the
water must always be cold rs it runs
cut Of cold faucet or as IL comes out
of the pump. That Is wrong. English
men very often do this; but the temper
aturc in England is much o|cncr than
in the middle latitudcs Of the United
States, and consequently "water the
temperature. of the air" docs not mean
water that is nearly ice enc morning
and comparatively warm the next. A
good plan is to let cold water run until
the bath Is perhaps three inches deep.
Then put in q little warm water. That
takes the chill off the water, and then
it will not give anyone shock.
A bath can be had in any house on
the earth, and no one can say that he
cannot battle every morning because
there is no bath tub in his house. There
is always water near civilized house,
or amy house, for that matter, and you
can pump 1t or carry 1t to your room
The night before IL there is 70 running
water in the house. If there is no hath
tub, get chat BATH" or, if you cannot
well do that, take y big tub, but on no
account give up the bath.
Afterwards give yourself lomg and
hard rub until your skin is rcd-and
then the day is well bcgun.-Ilnrper's

OLDEST KNOWN BIRD.

Publication
1.-THE Solenhofen slate Of Bavaria, p"
writes Prof. IT, G. Seely in his recent
little volume, The Story OF the Earth
in Past Ages" makes known numer-
Gus insects and other forms Of terres-
trial life of this period, including the
oldest known bird.
~ bird is known by its feathers;
though there is no reason why the COW
ering to the skin should not be as vari-
able in this group of animals as among
reptiles or mammals. 1t Is, therefore,
remarkable that the oldestknown
bird, the archaeopteryx, has feathers as
well developed as in the existing repre-
sentatives of the class and similarly ar
ranged. The animal is an elegant,
slender bird, which Is chiefly remark
able for showing teeth in the jaws.
About IL. short and conical, occur on
each side of the upper jaw.
THE bird was larger than the robin
in it's body and had a tail Of which
therewns bony core some sixinches in
length. The wings were quite as well
developed us the legs and there are
some evidences that the former could
be applied to the ground as are the fore
legs of quadrupeds, although the feath-
crs show the wings to have been con-
structed on the Same plan as the birds
of to-day.

many of the remains of fishes, reptiles
and insects are found, Is the same as
