a Fine Concert.

Few musical entertainments ever
heard here have afforded greater
satisfaction and pleasure than the con-
cert at Turner Opera house, Thursday
evening last, given under the patron
age of the Woman's Relief corps for
the benefit of the Andersonville prison
property fund. 4 good-sized audience
was present and a hearty and enthu-
siastic reception was accorded those
who assisted in the entertainments
The numbers were well selected and
the cello playing by Mr. Prengel, of
Milwaukee, lent sufficient diversity to
the singing to hold the audience in
terested to the end. An encore was
demanded for each number.
While the gentlemen participating,
Messrs. Schempf, Sproesser, Vullmahn,
Wiggenhorn, Hardege and Prengel,
acquitted themselves admirably and
their work was highly pleasing, the
honors of the evening apparently were
with the lady vocalists, Mesdames
Weiss, Field and Rack, while Mrs.
Green accompanied with her custom
airy taste and effectiveness. Mrs.
Field and Mrs. Rack, who have been
heard in public many times, never fail
to delight their audiences and at this
time they were truly at their best,
Mrs. Racks contralto song, Happy
Days." with violin obligato by Mr.
Hardege, being a perfect gem Mrs.
Weiss excellent work, both in her solo
and the quartette, was in the nature of
a gratifying surprise, marked i'm
provement being shown as a result
of the schooling she has been receiv-
ing. The final number, the ssGood
Night quartette from ''Martha,n was
exceptionally well rendered and easily
leading feature of the concert. 1t is
to be hoped that our singers may be
more frequently heard on such occa-
sions as that of Thursday last.
Some forty-odd dollars were the net
proceeds Of the concert, and the local
Relief corps is we'll pleased with the
result. The members desire to ex-
press their thanks to all who assisted
in the undertaking.

TWO TAILS.
Also Two Tales,

Several years ago one of the pOpu-
lar humorists, scientifically inclined,
concluded to make some experiments
with iced tea, the popular summer
drink. The result of his investigation
is given in his own words.
81 secured a sample of the tea at
one of the restaurants in town to get
fair average of the article used. |
took teaspoonful Of the liquid to the
household pump; it was stirred into
large tub filled with water and in
moment the color of the tea had dis
appeared. Anyone will admit that
this solution would seem harmless
even to the healthy lower animals.
We had some young puppies in the
barn yard and / procured two of the
smallest of them; they were allowed
to lap at the liquid and then their
heads were held under the water for
fifteen minutes. 1t resulted in the
death of both the puppies and the
dangerous properties of the decoction
were made apparent !"
1t is all very well to have bit of
fun from the experiments in food and
drink, but there are many nowadays
who are really hurt, and hurt serious
ly from the use of coffee.
A new breakfast beverage has been
produced which looks like coffee in
the deep seal brown color and which
changes to the rich golden brown of
thick Mocha when cream is added.
It has been introduced extensively
this season and is made from cereals,
the common grain of the field. 1t is
nourishing and healthful, without
having the hurtful properties of cof-
fee. The weakest stomach can
handle the grain coffee and the taste
and the color is SO agreeable and cof-
fee-like that it fills the place nicely.
This food-drink, Postum, can be given
to small children regularly for coffee
at breakfast and is nourishing and
fattens their bodies. It is a LIQUID
food made from the grains the Creator
| intended for mans subsistence. Man

| he Bible Institute

Rev, J. r. Pratt and family moved
here from Poynette last Thursday. and
they are now ensconced in the erst-
while Faith Home" Thus the Wis
consin Bible institute, for which many
people in Watertown have planned for
some months, is now on the way
toward consummation. Mr.. Pratt
comes to Watertown with every pros
pect of making a success of the Bible
institute. The summer school for
bible study, which is under the aus
pices Of the state officers of the Y. P.
S. G. E., is already an assured success,
as is also the bible conference, a
notice of which appears elsewhere in
our columns. The summer school, at
which large delegation from the
Young Peoples societies of the state is
expected, will begin July II and the
bible conference August 9. After
brief vacation the first session of the
permanent school will begin. Thus
Watertown will have a considerable
increase in its population during the
months of July and August, with good
prospects beyond that time.

THE DAILY NEWSPAPER.
It's Development and Its Worth Excellent
" Set FORTH.

The evolution of the daily press into
more than newspaper Is forced by
public expectation and custom. 1t is to
a majority of people, at least on this
continent, the sole librar-. 1t must salts
fy a wider demand than that OF. the man
who merely wants to know if stocks
have risen since yesterday or whether
Senegambia and Bolivia have gone to
war overnight.
Matthew Arnold said, with a sus-
picion of tears in his voice, that if he
lived something like 80 years longer
than he expected to, he would probably
be the only man in Great Britain who
would be found reading books. He took
an extreme and rather pessimistic view.
As a matter Of fact the press has been
largely Instrumental in encouraging the
reading Of good books, and while it en-
crosses the attention Of many millions
Of readers to itself the fact Of the in
creasing literary output OF the country
and the world refutes the notion that
the public is losing its appetite for mat
ters of enduring moment Thoreau, the
apostle of high thought and individual
ism, took no care of the changes that are
recorded and forgotten every day because
he lived apart from men and studied ma
ture. He it was who cried: do not read
the times. Read the eternities. " But he
lived in day when the press was small,
of little influence and servile. In his
own state it supported the demands of
the Shareholders, to his infinite disgust,
and it was first and last mere record
Of the days doings.
But the press Of this day is more than
a record. 1t is a mirror Of the worlds
thoughts and intentions, a critic,
Judge, a guide, a friend. BY many. the
news pages are glanced at, and attention
is bestowed on the contents that exhibit
deliberatiOn, research and scholarship.
There is as good writing and as pur-
poseful and helpful writing in the daily
papers today as there was in the maya
zines of the first half Of our century be-
fore. Moreover, it is writing to some
purpose 1t is not for mere display Of
style, but to accomplish the betterment
of governments, of society, Of institu-
tons and arts, to stimulate effort i'll
right causes, to encourage industry,
thrift, honor and content. The condition
of the world in our century without the
daily press is unthinkable. Brooklyn

DANGER IN EARLY RISING.
A Doctors Theory That the Habit HelP'
to Make People Insane.

to Make People Insane.
DR.. Selden H. Talcott, the medical
superintendent of the Middletown State
Insane asylum recently, started the the
DRY that nothing conduced so much to
insanity as early rising.
In proof Of his assertion DR.. Talcott
calls attention to the relative frequency
with which farmers, their wives, sons
and daughters become insane. The cause
Of this has hitherto been thought to be
their isolated lives, their hard work and
perhaps the excessive use Of pie and po-
tatoes.
On the other side, it has always
seemed to DR.. Talcott and other eminent
aIienists that there must be some other
deep seated cause Of insanity among the
farming classes than pie and potatoes.
Farmers have always pure, fresh air IN
abundance, which city folk seldom have;
they are less liable to mental and nerv-
Gus strain than city folk and also less
liable to infectious diseases and the bad
effects Of alcohol.
DR.. Talcott's view, after careful
consideration Of the advantages and dis
advantages of farming life as a predis-
posing cause of insanity, is that it is the
excessively early hours of rising which
increase insanity in the rural districts
out of proportion to the urban and sub
urban rate. He thinks growing chill
dren in particular suffer severely from
the artificial cut off, which is applied
so rigidly to their lives.
The report of the state commission III
lunacy shows that during the year end
ing Sept. 80, 1894, $40 farmers, gar
deners and herdsmen were committed III
New York state as lunatics. This is a
larger number than RI any other class
except laborers, Of whom there were COZ
commitments.
AS against these large classes there
were only 54 members of the profess
sional classes committed, including
clergy, military and naval officers, art
lists, authors, civil engineers and survey
ors. There were only 40 men committed
out Of the large class of walters, cooks,
servants, miners and seamen. The class
of male teachers, students, housekeep-
ers and nurses gave only 23.-New York

Chinese Idea of Fires In Winter.

Although in some parts of China the
weather during winter is very cold, the
Chinese think English fires very uncivi
lized-so destructive to furniture and so
apt to smoke. "Iheir way of getting
warm is to add jacket over jacket and
skirt over skirt, and when sitting quiet
to embrace little charcoal burner hid
den by the wide sleeves of the tunic. "
Sometimes this unseen warm friend was
forgotten during Mrs. Stewards class
hours, and there was a cry that some
body was ON fire. All hands would then
hasten to the rescue, and the fire would
be put out amid much amusement. -

when the Creator said to woman
"in sorrow shalt thou bring forth
children" that a curse was pro-
nounced, but the joy felt by every
Mother when she first presses to
her heart her babe, proves the
contrary.
