AN ILLINOIS CAVE.
Remarkable Find Near the Town of
Red bud.

Preparations are being made to eX-
plore cave which was recently found
by some hunters, who accidentally dis
covered it while chasing wounded
wildcat. The cave is situated in the re-
gions known as the ''sinl holes," eight
E.iles west of Red Bud, III. The en-
trance is about seven feet in diameter,
but after entering the size varies, it
being 20 to 25 feet to the ceiling in some
places The ceiling is studded with
large stalagmites. Large rocks project
from the sides of the cave and are COW
cred with innnmerable white points,
which by dim light resemble stars.
The width does not vary so much, as it
is about 16 feet wide at all points.
In the center of this cave flows a
stream of clear water, which contains
numerous small, eyeless fish. A num-
Der of them were caught and placed on
exhibition here, but they lived only a
few days. The depth of the stream is
from 90 to 30 feet. About two miles
from the entrance it empties into a
large lake, which varies in depth from
five to 40 feet and lies beneath cell
ing about 100 feet from its surface
Recently an exploring party had a
small boat made and attempted to cross
this lake, but after going nearly half
mile from shore decided to return.
There are a great many crevices in the
rocks, and it was in some of these that
the skeletons of wild animals were
found, supposed to be those of the wolf.
Snakes of all kinds make this cave their
home in winter.-Chicago News.

MILK A hUTRIT.VE.
A Medical Man Who Existed for Thir-

lJ=J1 on Et.
A medical man expresses the belief
that person could live for any length
of time and take heavy exercise all the
while on no other food than sweet milk.
His conviction is the result of personal
experiment.
he wanted to establish the fact that
persons convalescing from sickness
may grow stronger with no other nutri-
ment than sweet milk, and that they are
not obliged to take something solid"
to eat, as so many people imagine. He
holds that many convalescent has
gone into his grave as a result of over
taxing his weak stomach by putting
solid food into it, and he maintained
that the old belief as to bread being the
first essential of human life is shown
by his experiment to be erroneous.
His test was to live 80 days with only
sweet milk as a nourishment. In the
whole time he lost 511s pounds in weight,
but no strength. He even attributes
the loss of weight to the warmth of the
weather and to excessive exercise on the
bicycle and the daily manipulation of
16-pound dumbbells and other heavy
weights. He took more exercise than
usual in order to test the thing fairly.
On the seventh day of the experiment
he ran several fast races in skillful
manner, but was beaten in each race
On the thirtieth day 1le again pitted
himself against the same runner and
got the best of his opponent, which GER
tainly would tend to confirm his state
ment that he lost no strength during
the 80 days test. He drank four pints
Of milk daily for the last week. He
thinks healthy person should take
about five pints of milk daily when no
other food is being taken. His practice
was to drink milk at intervals of two
hours during the day, commencing at
seven o'clock in the morning and con-
tinuing until ten at night After that
he would take no more until the next
morning.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

We see the clearing future skies, with
stars of promise genmed;
Our hammered stars rejecting these in
pledge of joys to be,
With promised rainbows arching oer our
country CT the free;
All brave, no slayJ, but every soul Heaven
crowned on f.Ct.lom's sod,
With liberty 10 gain each prize, expand
and worship God.
Ere ma"y years have passed and gone
strange things shall come to pass,
Wise education simplified for every lad
and lass,
Electric power in touch and tune to seize
avery ta ck
And wonders done before the wish finds
Wo,@.j l. which to ask.
All this the sent sees in light shed from
great this to be,
As well as from .l!r storied past and sires
who made IS free;
On such 4 cay the past and future hand in
hGad Glav nigh,
And Glory clasps them in her arms the
Fourth day of July.
To make the welk!n laugh and ring, be
happy IS yOu may;
This is the nations triumph hour. tits In
dependence day.
