The Power of Music.

At the recent Boyle lecture on the
Perception of Musical Tone" delivered
at Oxford, Prof. McKendrick pointed
out that the roots of the auditory
nerves are probably more widely dis
tributed and have more extensive con-
nections than those of any other nerve.
The intricate connections of these
nerves are only being unraveled. The
professor stated that this explained how
music penetrates to the roots of our
being and influences reflex mechanisms
in the brain and in the body by associa-
tional paths. "Thus there is scarcely a
function of the body that may not be
affected by the rhythmic pulsations,
melodic progressions and harmonic
combinations of music nes."-Chi-
cago Tribune.

The president of the United States
will be asked to attend the National
Export exposition and to preside at
the opening session of the Internation-
al Commercial Congresss~hich will as.
semble in Philadelphia on October 10,
while the exposition is in progress.
The Mexican president, General
Diaz, will also receive a special invita-
tion to be present at the opening cere-
monies of the Commercial congress.
The suggestion that these invitations
be extended was made by Director
General Wilson, at the last meeting of
the board of directors of the exposi-
tion. DR.. Wilson also suggested that
a committee be appointed to visit
Washington and extend the invitation
personally to President Mckinley.
1t was further recommended that n
special invitation be transmitted to
Admiral Dewey, to reach him at some
point at which he will stop on his
homeward voyage, and that day be
set aside to be known as dewey Day."

Do We Allie.

A minister was in the News office
on New Years day. and in the course
OF q conversation he made the remark
that he had at one time thought of en-
gagIns IN newspaper work, hut gave
IL up, rs he could engage in no occu-
patton where he would have to sup-
press or evade the truth for polcy's
sake. He was told in reply that the
editor was just as honest as the
preacher and was asked to point ont
minister, who in all times, and under
all circumstances told the exact truth
and the whole truth. He could NOT
d. it and no other man could do it.
There is not a preacher in the state of
Ohio who would dare to tell the whole
truth about the members of his con-
gregation, for if he did he would soon
have a "call elsewhere" He could
no more tell the truth than an editcr
can tell the truth. Any man who has
been in the newspaper business any
length of time knows that most of the
trouble which he encounters is caused
by coming too near the truth in some
of his statements. Both the preacher
and the editor must carry a good
wbitewash brush and use it freely

The Horses HOOf,

The foot of horse is one of the most
ingenious and unexampled pieces of
mechanism in animal structure. The
hoof contains series of vertical and
thin laminae of horn, amounting to
about 500 and forming a complete lin
ing to it. In this are fitted as many
laminae belonging to the coffin bone,
while both sets are elastic and adher-
ent. The edge of quire of paper, in
serted leaf by leaf into another, will
convey sufficient idea of the arrange
ment. Thus the weight of the animal
Is supported by as many elastic springs
as there are laminae in all the feet,
amounting to about 1000, distributed
in the most secure manner, since every
spring is acted on in an oblique direc-
tion.-Boston Budget.

Up on the northern Mississippi on the
Wisconsin side is steamboat landing.
Only the boats from Dubuque to points
up the river touch there now, but it was
once thriving landing, The old river
town of Potosi is a mile and half in-
land now, but in the busy days it stood
on what was the bank of the river. Now
there is a railroad between it and the
river. Its people are mostly aged, and
they toll not Work seems unneces-
sary, and there is plenty of money for
food and beer, which some of the in
corrigible gay blades of the river days
still drink. This is the reason that upon
the levee now there stands sole build
ing, and this is n saloon. There is a
brewery sign on one corner, and a rude
ly-lettered sign on the side of the build
ing. Upon this is painted the owners
name and his motto, thus:
"a stands for Andy, but Andy won't
stand for the beer."-Chicago Times
Herald.

A Uloud Factory.

One of the sections of the great Paris
exhibition OF 1900 will be termed
"Cloudland," There the visitors will
be able to move about in atmospheric
conditions which, under ordinary cir
cumstances, can only be reached by a
balloon ascent. The giant apparatus
which will work this seeming miracle
is surely the most marvellous factory
ever constructed, for by its agency the
operations of nature will be initiated so
faithfully and so completely that every
type of cloud will be reproduced at
will in miniature. The principle of
cloud making, it will be remembered, is
that If mass of air containing water
vapor is cooled below its saturation or
dew point condensation of the vapor
will set in. The cloud is thus manufac-
tured, and being allowed to escape into
the air forms a miniature cloud alike in
every respect to the clouds with which
we are familar.-London Leader.

ScurVy.

Prior to the present century scurvy
was one of the most dreaded diseases
on shipboard. Armies were decimated
by it and navies rendered useless;
sometimes half ships crew would be
disabled by scurvy. Until the research
es of physicians showed that it owed
its origin to the lack of fresh vegetables,
its ravages were frequent and wide
spread. In 1905 there was introduced
into the British navy the admirable
regulations of provisioning ships-of-
war drawn up by Blame. Since then
scurvy has almost disappeared. AT the
present time il is seen only in eXcep-
tional circumstances, such as have re-
Gently arisen in the Klondike Even in
the long, lonely voyages to the pole
our means of furnishing the crews with
vegetable food in various forms has
prevented any outbreak of Importance.

The New York Journal has again de-
manded of the President that he speak
out and announce definite policy
concerning the Philippines, and the
Cincinnati Enquirer joins in the echo.
Yet both of these yellow sheets know
that the President has no authority to
announce permanent policy which
this country shall assume toward any
of the territory acquired from Spain
This prerogative lies solely with Con-
gress and these papers well know it,
but they count on deceiying the peo-
pie who may not know. They would
create the impression, and they init
mate, that the President lacks back
bone, and that he is afraid to declare
a purpose toward the Philippines. 1t
is simply an attempt to make political
capital by assuming that everybody
believes the President has the right to
establish permanent governments in
the islands but that he wants the cou-
rage to exercise it.

Two of u Kind.

There is at least one man in the
country who is in a position to feel for
General Eagan. Maher, the jockey,
who made such bad job at riding the
favorite, Banastar, in the late sublrb-
an horse-race, has been sentenced by
his employer, Mr.. Clark, to draw pay
for two years without doing any work.
Mr.. Clark has a contract with Maher
for two years, at $4,000 a year. He
does not release him. He proposes to
hold him to his employment, pay him
his salary, and give him nothing to do.
Where General Eagan has the advant-
age of Maher is in being able to leave
the country. Where Maher gets the
better of Eagan is IN drawing larger
pay. 1t is remarkable that this unus-
ual form of retribution should obtain
in two conspicuous instances within
the same half-year,-E. S. Martin, in
Harper's Weekly.

strange Life in Argentina.

Prof. Lawrence ,Bruner, who spent
the year 1898 investigating the grass
hopper plague in Argentina, says that
only Australia could match Argentina
in the singularity of its life forms.
1t is country where everything pro-
tects itself. "The trees have thorns,
the grasses and weeds are provided with
thorns and sharp blades, and herba-
ceous plants are shielded with burrs."
Forests exist where rains are scarcest,
and natives say that sometimes when
heavy rains fall the trees die from too
much moisture. Some birds, belonging
to the same order as our waterfowl,
avoid water. Many Argentina birds
possess spurs on their wings.-Youth's

Funeral Services Yesterday at Home on

Mrs. w w. Harvey died last Sunday
night at two o'clock in the morning.
The funeral was held Tue esday after
noon at her late residence on East
Main street, just about week after
she fell from the back steps, losing
consciousness The funeral services
were conducted by Rev, r. l.. Wag-
goner, of the M. e. Church, this city

Thirty dollars for a piano, five dol
lars for billiard table, twenty-five
dollars for four watches and clocks,
ninety dollars for three horses and
three carriages, five dollars for sew
ing machine, and household goods to
the total amount of $3.50, are the val
ues placed upon his personal belong
ings by Mr.. VIM. j. Bryan in answer
to the tax assessor of Lincoln, Neb.
A casual examination of these figures
creates the pleasing impression among
his admirers that Mr.. Bryan is really
one of the people and lives most mod
estly. A little closer scrutiny, how
ever discloses the unpleasant fact that
Mr.. Bryan has either driven
exceedingly hard bargains in the ac-
quisition Of all the necessities and
some of the luxuries of life and has
used dollars of exceedingly great pur-
chasing power, or else he has, like or
dinary mortals, simply been telling
the tax assessor good sized fairy tale
to avoid contributing too much to the
support of the State.

No Tobacco for Norwegian BOYS.

A law was recently passed in Nor
way prohibiting the sale of tobacco to
any boy under 16 years of age without
signed order from an adult relative or
employer. Even tourists who offer
cigarettes to boys render themselves
liable to prosecution. The police are
instructed to confscate the pipes,
cigars and cigarettes of lads who smoke
in the public streets. A fine for the
offense is also imposed, which may be
anywhere between so cents and $25.-
