And now mE friends and fellow Re-

the result, with the same patriotic devo-
tion that has characterized our noble
soldiers on the field. who have gone
alike from the homes of fortune and
from the humblest FIRE sides to respond
to the call OF their country; with the
same devotion that has characterized
some OF them in Offering up their lives
and their all to their country's defense;
believing as earnestly as we believe In

In behalf Of the party prosperity and

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.
Nature makes no new laws.

The world is what you make it.
Truth is dead certainty; yet il

"A policy politician never faces an

Thanksgiving is the specific for

What men call results, are with God

The covetous man finds it uphill
work to be honest.
A new friend and an old enemy will
both bear watching.
The weakest saint on his knees is
too strong for the devil.
A vote without conscience back of it,
never represents manhood.
In this universe of puzzles, the
greatest is Gods love for MS.
God alone can change us. Others
can only bring out what is in us.

The village Stocks.

In rural England stocks are still to
be found. In 1905 an act was passed
compelling every village to set up a
pair of stocks aud every place which
did not possess them was considered
not town but mere hamlet.
The stocks at Ufford are among tho
few still well-preserved. The crimes
punished by imprisonment in the
stocks were theft, drunkenness, gam
bling, Sabbath breaking and brawling.
If the persons incarcerated were pop
nlar, their plight was lessened by their
friends, who brought them food and
money, but if the malesactor was dis
liked he was pclte. with eggs and all
sorts of unsavory missiles. A modern
antiquarian was recently prowling
around an English village and finding
the stocks, put himself in 10 see how
they worked. He did the job too well
and could not get out. To O passing
rustic he prayed for help.
"No, no, old gentleman" said
Hodge, you'll just bide where you
be. You wasn't SET there for moth
ing," and the unfortunate scientist
had to stay in the stocks for some
hours till his friends found him.

1t may be interesting TO note that in
1898there will be fifty-three Saturdays,
as the year both begins and ends on
Saturday. Those who are concerned
with the payment of weekly incomes
on that day may view tho fact with
different feelings. TO recipients the
circumstance may be of no conse-
quence, as they really receive nothing
more, but in the case of large firms
employing vast amount Of labor,
fifty-three pay days instead of fifty
two may not be without importance
when accounts for the whole year come
to be made up.-London News.

WALKING. SLEEPING AND EATING.


A Scientist Points Out Errors in Human
Locomotion and Diet.
Everybody eats, drinks, breathes
and sleeps, and everybody who has the
due allowance of legs and feet walks.
Yet not one person in hundred does
either of these things properly. That
is the verdict of writer in a French
scientific publication, La Vie Scienti-
fique. He tells wherein people err in
these important particulars, and gives
instructions as to how the errors
should be corrected.
AS to sleeping his specifications
apply more to France and the conti-
nent of Europe generally than to this
country. In this country few beds
are enclosed in the absurd heavy cur
tains which are so common in France
curtains which cut off the supply of
oxygen.
1t has long been automatic in this
country that bedroom windows should
be open at night, that the bed should
be without curtains and in the mid
die of the room and that the room in
the daytime should be exposed to all
the sunlight possible. And these
axioms are what La Vie Scientifque
points out most impressively to its
readers.
AS to walking, the errors are con-
fined to no particular nation. People
of all countries walk badly, and their
mistake is in regard to the centre of
gravity of the body. It should be
kept as nearly as possible, in locomo.
tion, at an even distance from the
ground. Most people wabble, lurch
or hop in their gait, thus alternately
rising, lowering and throwing first to
one side and then the other the gravity
centre. This greatly increases the
fatigue of walking, an unnecessary
fatigue, which is accurately repre-
sented by the weight of the body
multiplied by the sum of the distance
that the centre of gravity is swerved
either from the horizontal OF uselessly
lifted and lowered ON the perpendi-
cular line. Furthermore, care should
be taken not to walk on either the
toes, the heels or the side of the feet.
The foot should be placed fiat on the
ground and the knee, ankle and hip
joints should be moved evenly and
each assigned to its just allowance,
and no more, of its work.
As to eating, drinking and breath
ing, the common errors are generally
we'll known and as generally prevalent
as they are well known. Everybody
knows Chat it is bad to drink iced
liquids in great gulps, just as every
body knows it is bad to gobble food
without proper mastication. Iced
drinks swallowed in gulps do not
quench the thirst, food bolted without
being chewed does not nourish the
body. Both breed dyspepsia and
other ills. And in the same way
breathing through the mouth instead
of the nose leads to annoying and
often deadly bronchial ailments.
