Lanciani, the famous Roman arch
eologist, has shown that in the Rome
of the Caesars trouble was experienced
with high buildings. A law was passed
restricting the height of fronts to so
feet. In order to evade it builders
adopted the practice of carrying up
the rear portion several stories more
Other laws bearing ON the heights of
buildings were passed in olden times.
There was a tendency to diminish the
height of stories as the buildings in
creased in size, and a height of 1870 feet
was probably attained. 1t is believed
that the ceilings were so low that a
man could not stand upright in the

OUT IN 4 FIELDS.

The little cares that fretted me,
l lost them yesterday
Among the fields above the sea,
Among the winds at play,
Among the lowing of the herds,
The rustling of the trees,
Among the singing Of the birds,
The humming IF the bees.
The foolish fears of what might pass,
1 cast them all away
Among the clover scented grass,
Among the new mown hay,
Among the hushing Of the corn
Where drowsy peoples nod,
Where i'll thoughts die and good are born
Out in the fields with Godi

Position and sIeep.

The position affects sleep. A con
strained position generally prevents re-
pose, while a comfortable one wooes
sleep. Lying fat on the back, with the
limbs relaxed, would seem to secure the
greatest amount of rest for the muscu-
lar system. This is the position assumed
in the most exhausting diseases, and it
is generally hailed as a token of revival
when a patient voluntarily turns on the
side. But there are several disadvan-
tages in the supine posture which i'm
pair Or embarrass sleep. Thus in disor-
dered conditions of the stomach the
blood seems to gravitate to the back of
the head and to produce troublesome
dreams.
Nearly all who are inclined to snore
do so when lying on the back, because
the soft palate and uvula hang on the
tongue, and that organ falls. back SO as
partly to close the top of the wind
pipe. 1t is better, therefore, to lie on
the side, and, in the absence of special
disease rendering it desirable to lie on
the weak side so as to leave the healthy
lung free to expand, it is well to use the
right side, because when the body is
thus placed the food gravitates more
easily out of the stomach, and the
weight of the stomach does not com
press the upper portion of the intes-
tines. A glance at any of the visceral
anatomy will show this must be So

The Phenomenon Of walking.

Al a small party the other evening
those present were asked to name the
most Common and at the same time the
most complicated action in the human
phenomena. Various answers were
given, showing all degrees of observa-
tion and thought Not one. however,
hit upon the answer that the questiener
had in mind. which was walking.
What action is more common, and yet
how difficult of analysisI How many
persons outside of some special courses
in physics at the universities can eS-
plain the phenomenon Let somebody
try.
walking, once said DR.. Holmes,
''is a perpetual falling, with a perpetual
self recovery 1t lisa most complex, VIC
lent and perilous operation, which we
divest of its extreme danger only by
continual practice from a very early
period of life, We find how complex it
is when we attempt to analyze it. We
learn how violent it is when we walk
against a post or a door in the dark.
We discover how dangerous it is when
we slip or trip and come down, perhaps
breaking or d~islocating u limbs. or
overlook the last step of a flight Of
stairs and discover with what headlong
violence we have been hurting our
selves forward.
All this is very true, as we all know
to our sorrow; still the genial Autocrat
has not explained the phenomenon. -

LOOK OUT FOR WOOLLY APHIS
FALL NURSERY STOCK SAID TO BE
INFESTED WITH INSECTS.
State Comm missioner of Horticulture Baker
Issues a neutrality-suspicious. Made
Chiefly ON Stock Shipped In From
Other States.

J. E. Baker, state commissioner Of
horticulture, has sent to the Post-Intel'
ligencer a warning to the public of the
discovery of woolIy aphis OH nursery
stock. He says:
"The fall delivery Of nursery stock
has created a connection among nurse
rymen and inspectors owing to the al
legged presence of woolly aphis upon it.
Complaints are coming in quite freely
from various parts Of the state regard
ing this pest.
"From all that can be learned in.
spectors are dealing summarily With
stock found to be infested. Should any
warned against the acceptance of such
stock. Examination of the roots, body
and twigs of apple and pear trees offered
for sale will disclose whether this pest
Is present or not, the insect being of a
dark russell brown color, with abdomen
covered with white, downy filament
of a cottOny appearance.
at is but justice to the nurserymen
of our own state to add that the conf
plants are chiefly of stock shipped i'm
from other states, and seems possible
that this is regarded by some dealers as
u dumping ground for infested stock,
after the same fashion that some Cali
fornia fruit dealers attempt unloading
infested fruit in this state which is un-
ulercantable in their own.
mo nurseryman can he justified in
offering such infested stock for sale, and
is liable to a heavy fine if he does 80,
and any Oachardist is foolish to accept
it in fulfillment of an order"

"Thus, ii we have exchanged an an
nual gain for annual loss of zoo, 600, ii
makes difference of 2, $40, 600 in our an
nual progress on beef-cattle. There seems
to be no letting up on the alarming de-
cline, as the last year was as much as the
average seven years loss, being ,269, 97:.
ut seems that thirty per cent advance
in price has yet had no effect on the de-
crease. Even if we are able only to arrest
the decrease. i'm 1910 our population would
be 50, OO0, 900 and our beef-cattle n, 00O, 900,
we would have only 800 cattle for each
1 900 persons, against $50 in 1892. Should
our population be 100000 in 1910, we
should have Sc, 900, 600 of beef cattle to be
in proportion to 1892.
"FrOm these statements we conclude
that many years will elapse before beef
cattle will be cheaper than now."

An Interesting Letter Received from Him
Few Days Ago by His Brother John,
OF This Place.
John Douglas, of this place, recently
received letter, written at Dawson on
October 6, from his brother, William,
who went to the Klondike i'm the spring
of 1898, leaving Seattle OH the steamer
Western Star, one of the Moran boats,
North Pacific ocean. William has
spent the greater part of his time steam
boating Oh the Yukon river in the EN-.
ploy of the n. A. Il. & Il. Co. The
coming winter he will try his luck in
the mines around Dawson. He reports
the outlook good i'm that locality, the
Cape Nome excitement having drawn
away all the unemployed from Daw-
son. Typhoid fever still RACES around
Dawson. He reports the death of Geo.
Higgins, formerly in the employ of the
San Juan Trading Company ut this
place. He died OH Bonanza creek, &C.
tober 4, Of typhoid fever, living only
four days after being taken sick. DR..
Kelley, who has also been down with
the fever, is recovering and will be out
again in few days. The following
San Juaners are i'm good health: Har-
rison, Delaney, Turnbarge, fletcher,
Joe Woods and Fred Knight. The
chances are favorable for them all going
out next summer with a good long
sack of gold. In his letter he saysa
GAS to the Cape Nome excitement,
don't believe One-half what you see in
print, a. it is more of transportation
scheme than anything else, gotten up
to keep the people moving. During
my long stay at st. Micheals, i'm July,
I talked with great many who had
been there and came back disguised
with the country. They all said there
was little gold there, but that every
few claims were being worked. This
was before the beach diggings were
struck, but there were men enough at
st. Micheals when / left there, the
latter part of July, to locate all the
beach diggings. Those who go there
next spring with the expectation of
getting good beach diggings will get
beautifully left. II is a barren, for
saken country, with no timber, and it
rains and blows all the time. Before
the beach excitement, have seen ac-
counts in the Seattle papers. published
about the latter part of July, giving
glowing accounts of the Cape Nome
mines. One instance, when the Roa
noke arrived from st. Michaels with a
large amount Of gold, two millions OF
which was from Cape Nome. That was
all bOsh, as no such money ever came
from there in July. Keep away from
Cape Nome".
