What may be done with swamp
lands under an intelligent system OF
cultivation is told by the Indianapolis
News in story of the success of B. F.
Clifford, whose land holdings are in
Jasper County, Indiana, and who is
said to be the owner of the largest
amount Of swamp land under cultiva.
tion in the world. Mr.. Clifford bought
$4,000 acres Of swamp land from the
State at little more than song, and
he now has nearly that number of till.
able acres, whose fertility is the won.
der of other farmers. Seventy five
miles of broad bitches, supplemented
by several hundred miles of tile pip.
ing drain the land. and from it Mr..
Clifford last year marketed over ], ,000,-
BOO bushels of corn, 400, 900 bushels
Of onions, and great quantities OF
other vegetables and grains, harvest
ing, in addition, an abundance of hay
for his hundreds OF horses. The crops
raised on this enormous tract afforded
sufficient traffic to keep q small rail
road busy, and as Mr.. Clifford esti.
mated he could with profit build HE
own line, haul his corn, stock, hay,
vegetables, and other products to the
Chicago market, he surveyed q line
from the centre of the tract. and is
now constructing freight line from
the centre of his farm north to APPOINT
Of junction with the Indiana, Illinois
and Iowa line. which gives him direct
connection With Chicago PENN.

A scientific investigation of the
physical strength OF the Chicago
school children is to be undertaken by
the Board OF Education of that city,
and the results which they obtain will
be used as standard for the treat
ment of pupils as to their capacity for
mental endurance and physical exer.
else. 1t is thought that the results
would be very important and serve to
revolutionize the methods which are
now in vogue. The theory of the test
is to determine what is known as the
fatigue period" of child, or that
period of its life at which its energies
are at the lowest ebb and, therefore,
the time when its school work should
not be pressed. The pupils will be
weighed and measured and will be ex.
amined, for the purpose of determin-
ing their physical condition. A test
will then be made of the strength and
endurance powers Of the muscles Of
The child.

WEAK HEARTS AND BICYCLES.
Only Those Whose Breathing and Pulsa-
tions Recover Quickly Should Ride.

Only Those Whose Breathing and Pulsa-
tions Recover Quickly Should Ride.
DR.. Schott, of Nauheim, Germany,
who has devoted considerable time to
the study of bicycling from hygienic
point of view, gives these facts as the
results of his studies
Bicycling, just as mountain climb
ing, accelerates the action of the heart
and thus quickens the pulse. This
naturally tends to enlarge the heart
during action, process which during
rest takes a backward turn, and the
vital organ resumes its normal state.
By violent, or, say, excessive exer-
else on the wheel, when the pulse
beats at 140 per minute, the condi-
tions change. The expansion of the
heart does not fall back to the normal.
as is best proved by the "used-up"
look of the cycle racers after tour
nament. Should this strained exer-
else continue the enlargement of the
heart continues with it, and fatal re-
suits are inevitable.
AS OluOl lnO tuO CdoiCI
do the muscles OF the heart assume
undue proportions, and, the arteries
becoming less elastic with age, the
life of such a man is greatly endan-
gered. There is o certain Dote in
breathing which is an infallible warn
ing with turner's and climbers, which,
however, very often fails its purpose
with the cycler, for in his case the
great draught caused by his run sup
plies him with more oxygen than is
necessary.
All these things should be taken in
due consideration by ardent wheel
men. Bicycling as an exercise should
be taken only by persons whose heart
and lungs are in the best natural con-
dition.

The idea Of instituting some perma.
nent memorial of the deeds of those
heroic men, the sacrifice OF whose
lives, under unheroic and everyday
circumstances, is being constantly
made and as quickly forgotten, has at
last come to practical issue in Lon.
don. On the wall of the historic old
Aldersgate Church, which faces on the
quaint, little "Postman's Park" tab
let's will be erected by committee
now formed for that purpose, to com.
memorate the bravery OF men who,
without the rush and excitement Of
battle 70 stimulate them. have sacri.
iced their lives without hope of fee oil
reward. Hitherto, whilst there have
been societies in plenty to honor those
who risked life, there was none t.
honor those who lost it in bravery.

Lonbct,s Fine DECORATION.

The Grand Masters collar OF the
Order of the Legion of Honor, with
which President Loubet has been in.
vested, is of finely wrought gold, ard
is altogether a magnificent decoration,
but very rarely assumed by the Presi.
dent. The Order dates from Napo.
Icons consulate in 1902. 1t com.
prises four classes viz, eighty grand
crosses, 160 grand officers, 400 COM
manders, and az unlimited number of
officers and cheyaliers. Unless by the
exercise of authority on the part of the
Grand Master, or for some signal ser.
vice to the State, all holding the Order
begin as chevaliers, ard are not eligible
until they have exercised with distinc.
tion for twenty years civil or military
duties, or have done some important
service to tie State, or earned dis.
tinction in art or science. A chevalier
must have held that grade for four
years before he can become al officer;
two years more are necessary before
the grade of commander can be at
tanned; q commander cannot become
a grand officer under five years, and
five years more are needed before a
grand officer can become a grand
cross. For military men years of war
services count double. - London

porter in this direction, exported in
the first three months of last year
$500 head of cattle. besides 600, 600
pounds of meat for the Russian army.
Kurgan also supplies Russia with
poultry and eggs. The last egg ex-
port consisted of ninety-five carloads,

Dudes Queer Ambition.

from a stylish young woman, who lives
in the neighborhood, and whose family

out without her husbands consent,
and when he came home to dinner
that evening she mentioned the strange
request to him. "Oh, that's nothing"
said he, "it's only her desire to in.

Around the wc-ld Backward.

1t is announced that al enthusias,
tic sportsman has just left Brussels,
Belgium, with the avowed intention
of walking around the world back
ward. The feat of going around tie
world without a sou in ones pocket
has become an everyday matter-bicy-
Gle tours of the world are an old
story-therefore, there must be some
new invention by which the public,
craving for notoriety may be graft
fed. The man who walks backward
is bound to be safe from accidents, as
the automobile aud other vehicles of
locomotion, if not out of common hu-
manity, at least out of admiration for
a creature of such absolute daring,
must give him right of way. We may
next hear of some fanatic who has
started out to make the tour of the
world walking on his hands. Truly,
the possibilities of globe -trotting are

A Cordial Welcome.

A generation ago, when n continu.
Gus round of visits was an onerous
part of every rural minister's duties,
one wintry day worthy New England
pastor, accompanied by his wife and
little son. went to call for the first
time upon parishioner who lived in
the edge of the adjoining town. The
uncomprising exterior of the house
which they found to be their destina-
ton did not promise much hospitality.
Vigorous knocking brought to one of
the upper windows woman, who sur
veyed the visitors from the shelter of
half-closed blinds, and after some
further delay the rarely used door
creaked grudgingly on its hinges, and
disclosed girl of ten, who welcomed
the party thus: "Come in and sit
down, won't you? Mcther'll be down
in minute. She says she's SO glad
you've come. She wants to have it
