that men shall have their wits about

requiring strong nerves and a clear

NOTHING shows more clearly the

it penetrates thick oak tree. If six

An English physician of soine prom

timent or emotion, Or passion, as has
been hitherto supposed, but is caused

From TIME ilnmemurial it has been
taught that the blush was caused by
an impression either pleasant or other

arising from something seen or heard
but this doctor knocks the idea in the
head by his Wonderful discovery that
blushing is the result of wearing

T is to be hoped that the popocratic
'ty in 1900 will adopt the anti-ex-
lsion issue. That crowd will then
cover how small Il minority they
}, in the United States. This coun-
has been expanding ever since the
ablishment OF til, original thirteen
ties. The law OF the survival of the
test, and the extension of oiyiliza-
IN is still going on, and will continue
do so until enlightenment is car
ID into the darkest corners of the
nth. Ignorance, superstition and
ranny cannot withstand the onward
arch of civilization, and the United
ates as one of the great enlightened
tions OF the world, has its part to
rform.

Friendship.

1t is an union OF spirits, n rhk'rriAge
of hearts, and the bond thereof virtue.
There osa lie he friendship where
there is no fteeaesn. Friendship loves
Il free ssr, and will not ZOE penned UP
in straight and narrow Enclosures. 1t
will speak freely and act so too; and
take nothing Ill where no i'll is meant;
nay, where it is, it will easily forgive
and forget too, upon small acknow-
Judgements. Friends are true twins
in soul; they sympathize il everything
and have the same love and aversion.
What one en- ,oys the other cannot
want. Like the primitive Christians,
they have all things in common, and
no property but in one another. A
true friend unbosoms freely, advises
justly, assists readily, adventures bold
ly, takes all patiently, defends cour-
ageously, and continues friend I'M
changeable.

THE tragedy resulting from q char
vari of a newly welded couple in Okla
homa is another illustration of the
evil tendency of such idiotic pranks.
In this case Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Hig-
gins, the bride and groom of two hours
appeared ON the porch and ordered
the serenaders to leave. The charvari
party, composed OF about twenty
friends of the young married couple,
refused to go. Instead, they continued
to make deafening noises by beating
on pans, firing shotguns, etc. One of
the party, Harry Randall, deliberately
pointed his gun at the young couple
and fired. The bride fell fatally injur-
ed, shot through the lungs and died an
hour later. The groom was also shot
in the face, but not fatally. After the
accident the charvari party fed.
