"Rise, woman, rise

Rise, woman, rise
To thy peculiar and best attitudes
OF doing good and of enduring Ill.
OF comforting for Ill and teaching good,
And reconciling all that i'll and good
Unto the patience of constant hope:
Thy love
Shall chant itself its own beattudes
After Its own life-working. child's kiss
Set on thy signing lips shall make the glad;
A poor man served by thee shall make thee rich;
A sick man helped by thee shall make thee strong
Thou shalt be served thyself by every sense,
OF service which thou renderest."

He declares that it is unwise to interfere in Cuba's behalf; devotes considerable space to bimetallism, in which it is intimated that further steps may be made in that direction; favors the annexation of Hawaii; declares that our merchant marine should be i'm. proved, and urges legislation to give the white man his rights in the Indian Territory.

 East and West.

If some millionaire of missionary in olinations were to send 50 or more train loads of New York and Boston people on tom of education through the west the farther west the better--he would perform an invaluable service int tho way of installing into their. craniums information that would be useful Sto them. They would say less and think more ever after.
 Their ideas of their own huge superi- ority over the western people and of tho general superiority of everything eastern over everything western would vanish like 0 heavy fog before tho rising sun. At present their minds are indeedien- yeloped in an impenetrable 'fog ofiig- norance and self conceit.
 Hero are one or two things our tour ists would discover;
 They would find in a certain far west ern city of perhaps 100, 900 inhabitants actually tho most perfect, luxurious, convenient and sumptuous hotel on earth, exceeding in many respects the best, largest and newest i'll New York. They would find little cities of 12,000 to 15. GOO population provided with im- proyements and convenienees that New York itself to this day lacks, except to a limited extent. In such a city they would find asphalt and tile paved streets. trolley cars taking tho place en- tirely of the antiquated stage and horso car and private houses of the middle class people provided throughout with electric lights. Tho handsome and con yenient theater buildings, public baths and gymnasiums, free, or nearly so, to tho people; the beautiful modern school houses, amply ahle to accommodate all the children in tho town and arehitee- turally, artistieally and from the point of sanitary science the exponent of tho best ideas of the ID to date haman mind, would be revelation to these New York and Boston people that would be to them ill degreo what the famous sun stroke was to St. Paul. They would never again ill their lives mention either jays or 'hayseeds. D

It is not 50 very long ago since for. eign scientist discoUfsed on the benofit9 of yawning This act, which is gener. ally regarded as partaking of thenaturo of a tired condition, or symptom of such a condition, of the respiration and of tho need for fresh air, is said to be of great service in clearing tho eusta- chian tubes of the ears. These tubes lead from the back of the mouth to the inner side of tho ear drum, and yawn- ing is looked upon in this light as Q hygienie exercise which benefits the structures in question.
 Another scientist has no difficulty in showing that when we laugh we in- crease the play of tension ill our lungs One result of this increased tension is to arrest the blood flow in tho lungs and to induce the taking of deep in- spirations.

lT is announced that the term oi Hon. W. R. Morrison, of Illinois, the senior member of the interstate railroad commission, will soon ex- pire, and as the position is one ol dignity and influence with salary of s7 300 a year, there is of course an army Of applicants for the place. An effort will be made, however, to have Col Morrison retained, be- cause of his long experience and trained capacity. Under the law the commission must have on it two representatives of the minori- ty party, and the fact1 that Demo cratic member from Ohio will retire in the course of few months, may induce President Mckinley to re- appoint Col. Morrison, who is being supported by a number ot conner
 cial bodies. On the other hand, however, he is persona non grata to the COT poration and political in

The London Lancet puts forth a the ory which will make cold shivers run down the spine of youths and maidens who arc what is vulgarly called "in love. It says that mad love and drunk enness from alcohol arc identical i'll their symptoms and effects on the nervous system. Both produce disease and ab- normality. When ono is madly ill love, he has no common sense or correct iudg- nent left It is just so when he is drunk on alcohol. Alcohol and mad love" produce alike temporary exaltation ot the nervous system, unreal in both eases and sure to be followed by sobering up which brings bitter regrets alwaysto tho alcohol drunlIard and nearly always tc tho love drunkard. According to this profound medical teaching, therefore, when young man or woman is wildly in love ho or she should pull up ill time and remember that it is only case of drunk Tho cure for both alcoholism and mad love is separation, Tho Lancet declares.
