A DAISY.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 At the recent examination of candi- dates for the high school the 'geogra- phy" paper had this question: "why is the day longer in June than in Febru- ary?" The following answers might have been made, all as correct scienti- fically as the question itself:
 1. It isn't; every day is twenty-four hours long.
 g. It isn't; in the southern henlis- phere 1t is shorter.
 3. Within the arctic circle there is no day in February.
 4. Because the sun rises earlier and sets later.
 5. Because heat expands and cold contracts.
 6. Because of the ecliptiquy of tho oblictic. M.

an ARTISTIC SUCCESS,
pne, Closing Concert of tho Year Was Z
Grand Triumph.

phe. Closing Concert of tho Year Was 2
Grand Triumph.
To the large audience of music lovers
that gathered at the Presbyterian church
last night to hear the closing concert OF
the Choral Union, the event proved a
rare and pleasing treat. Artistic in the
highest degree, yet pleasing to all, the
program was really unsurpassed by any
that have yet been heard in the city.
Among the performers from abroad
were one or two strange faces. most not
ably Mr.. Walther. violinist, and Mr..
Souylet, pianist, but who will henceforth
retain place in the memories of Boul
der people. The numbers by both of the
gentlemen appealed SO strongly to the
feelings of the audience that repeated
encores resulted. Their work was a
revelation to the Boulder public. Mr..
Howard, the baritone, is known to Boul.
der, and such was the appreciation of
his splendid voice that his welcome was
most fattering. Last but not least
among the leading artists was Miss Ber.
lin, whose appearances on each occasion
was heartily welcomed. Miss Berlin
possesses voice of exquisite sweetness
Of tone, which combined with a rare
talent never fails to awaken sympa
thetic chord in the hearts of her hearers.
The Choral Union under the direction
of Professor Farnsworth was in its usu-
ally good form and gave indications OF
steady improvement. Miss Bell and
Mrs. Lewis Soaring were the accom-
pan,stSot the evening. The organiza
ton lsI ore for which Boulder has reason

Taking Care of the Poor.

The action of the county commits
sioners in regard to the establish
ment of a poor house at Rushmore
under the charge of DR.. Carroll ls
considered wise and proper pro.
ceedure and to the interest of all
concerned. Of the matter the Adrian
Guardian says:
The board has undertaken this
plan as an experiment, believing, and
we think rjghtfully, Il hat it will be
the most economical plan of caring
for the poor that could be devised
Should it not prove so, it can at any
time be discontinued. At present there
are 13 paupers in the county-two al
Ellsworth, four at Adrian, one each
at Lismore and Little Rock, and five
at Worthington. 1t is calculated
that of this number, six at least
when confronted with the ultimatum
of going to the poor-house or hustl.
ing for their own living, will choose
the latter. The others, being under
the supervision of careful manage,
who will have an opportunity OF
knowing their every need, and con-
finlng them to it, can be cared for al
much less cost for food and clothing
than in tho old way. The selection
of Rushmore for the location of this
institution is happy one. The town
is located in the center of the county
without saloons or any such institu'
tions as would be an inducement fol
certain class to board there at coun'
ty expense, and has a healthy moral
atmosphere. DIR. Carroll is man o1
family, and is said to be of a gener'
GUS, kindly disposition such as will
tit him for the important charge he
has assumed. Everything considered
the Guardian believes that the bes,
possible disposition has been made
of this matter, and that the board il
entitled to great credit for it's bust
ness.like method of dealing with it.
We believe, further, that the new
deal will prove eminently satisfactory
to all concerned-excepting, perhaps
the professional pauper.
The Democrat says: This move OF
the part of the commissioners viii
undoubtedly meet with the hearty
approval cf all and prove a great say

The Incubator as a Substitute
for the Nursery.

Professor Lions incubator. which
is now to be seen in New York, is =
marvel of inventive skill, scientific
ingenuity and mechanical expertness;
and the heating, the ventilation and
the hygenic conditions, upon which
the life of the prematurely born or
weakly infant must depend, are so
simple, so systematic and so practical
in arrangement as to seem almost
1awless. In order to have the bene-
fit of the incubator treatment, it. il
not absolutely necessary that babies
be sent to the institute. Single in
cubators. with trained nurses, are
sent to private houses, or hospitals, if
desired; though this method is nat.
urally far moro expensive than tho
"ward" treatment, and is also less
certain in results. In all the incuba-
tor hospitals children brought by
very poor parents are treated free.
The woman who shudders with hor
ror over the idea of these fragile
mites of humanity being shut up In
cages, without mother arms or Groom
ing lullabies, has an entirely mistak-
en- idea of the situation, which sim
gle glance in the babies dining-room
would obliterate. For the nurses ap-
parently love their shadowy little
charges, and the amount of petting
the unconscious, wabbling atoms re.
ceive would comfort the heart of the
most sensitive mother. They are
never by any chance the least bit
pretty, yet they are petted and snug
gled and fondled and loved to the
absolute contentmcnt of every wo-
mans desire; and the nurses grow 40
fond of them that very often quiet
tears are shed when the cage door 10
