There is lesson in the recent illness
of Rudyard Kipling. The cause Of the
sickness was severe cold brought
on by his own almost childish disre-
gard of simple health precautions. AS
told by W. E. Curtis, the newspaper
correspondent, Mr.. Kipling wore a
heavy fur-lineG overcoat on warm days
and cold days alike. He declined to
change outer garments with the mer-
cury's rise or fall. When he became
overheated in his warm great coat he
took it off. 1t was a performance Of
this sort, while returning home from a
social function late at night, that
caused the cold which afterward de-
veloped into Inflammation Of the lungs.
What foolish origin for SO great q
calamity as has threatened the world
Of letters! 1t is to the general principle
of taking care of oneself that the ap-
plication of the moral of this is di-
rected. 1t is responsibility that Is in
volved in the inherent duty Of making
the most Of life and it's opportunities.
And yet it is duty that is overlooked
perhaps more frequently than any
other one in the every day walks of life.
Every hour men Of intelligence and
common sense in all other directions
violate the unwritten yet generally IN
derstood rules of sensible living. Usual
~ the transgression is a thoughtless
one, but often it is done with open I'M
derstanding but reckless disregard of
consequences. 1t is unnecessary to
allude to the innumerable opportuni-
ties to display lack of wisdom in eat
ing, drinking, working, sleeping, smok-
ing, exercising and the thousand other
channels into which carelessness may
creep during the day or night. The
man who overtaxes his energies in con-
slant work is on the same plane with
the man who smokes too many cigars
or drinks too much whisky or goes out
without his overcoat on a cold day.
One and all are letting their careless
ness shorten their lives and interfere
with their opportunities for doing the
work given to them to do. They not
only throw away their own rights and
privileges but those Of their families.
friends and business associates, which
are inextricably interviewer with theirs.
No man of business willfully leaves his
bank book or wallet lying around care
lessly where a possible thief might lay
hand on it. Nearly any business man
will stand in draft in his shirt sleeves
on raw spring morning while he
listens to the latest story. That's the
difference in the sense Of responsible
ity experienced by the average citizen
as between taking care of ones bust
ness and taking care of ones self. The
first mentioned mistake might cost a
man a few dollars. The latter might
cost his life.

fan-shaped style which has now be-
come so familiar from recent photo
graphs of the German Emperor. His
majesty was very much struck at the
appearance of the adjutant.
"Who did it?' he asked.
''Haby, your majesty" came the re-
ply.
"Send him to me- said the Kaiser,
and from that day Haby became the
king of BARRIERS, and the imperial face
assumed an entirely new aspect.
Haby to-day, although an uncrowned
king, has many decorations. The latest
is the Cross of Jerusalem, given to him
upon the Kaisers birthday. Haby ac-
companied the Kaiser upon his Pales-
tine journey, and has accompanied the
Emperor on all his journeys for several
years. His other decorations include
the Knights Cross of the Hessian
Philip Order, the Russian Stanislaus
Order, Bavarian silver medal of merit
and Turkish medjidie of the fourth
class.
Haby has grown rich out Of his job.
His public establishment is crowded
daily with the men Of Berlin who are
initiating the Kaiser's style Of beard
and he sells at fancy prices the water
with which he claims to have made the
imperial mustache what it is. The
Kaiser has his mustache dressed every

The future of the island Of Crete is
attracting some attention in Europe,
and it appears most likely that while
other nations are scrambling for slices
Of the Chinese melon Great Britain will
quietly pluck this large peach and put
it in her basket. Every one will re-
member what a perplexing time the
powers had last year in selecting a
ruler for that island when it was de-
cided that the Sultan must yield the
administration Of it's affairs, and, also,
how it was hoped that the selection Of
Prince George of Greece for the posi-
ton of Governor General would ulti-
mateiy terminate in the annexation Of
Crete to the kingdom of the Hellenes.
But when the Prince reached Gambia he
found Sir Herbert Chermside, the Brit
ish representative, in charge Of affairs.
Up to the present time the new consti-
tuition Of Crete, by virtue of which the
people are to be accorded an autono-
nous government, has not been COM
p1eted and the question comes up as to
whether the Prince or Sir Herbert is

naturally thinks it suspicious that
Great Britain keeps considerable
body Of men on the islands, while
France and Russia suspect that Crete,
along with Cyprus and Malta, is to be
retained as one of Great Britain's out
posts for the control Of the .Mediterra-
mean. The Sultan, also, is trying to
guess whether or not he has lost an ISL
and that his predecessors struggled for
centuries to hold, and that without the
exchange of a shot on either land or
sea. While the island is nominally a
Turkish possession, there is not flag
bearing the crescent flying upon it, and
it may be expected any day that Prince
George will go back to Athens, that the
union jack of England will fly from
every fort on the island and that Great
Britain will then ask the powers what
they propose to do about it.

Mckinley the Politician

LaLeyeHe, lnu., Joufnal.
No man can have followed the speech
making tour of President Mckinley
without realizing how completely pol
itician the man is; how willing he is to
enter the lists as an apologist for his
war policy, as an advocate for the party
doctrines that are purely and solely con.
fined to republican politics. He is
not the president of the United States;
heis q stump speaker In the interests of
his one party. 1t is not as the chief
executive Of mighty nation that he
appears before the country, but as a
narrow partisan orator, jealous of the
platform and hateing the opposition.
1t must be observed that never for 9
moment does he assume the strong,
serene attitude of q magistrate whose
policy is based on the eternal principles
of right. He feels under the constant
necessity of bolstering with all the pres
tige Of his official recommendation the
minutest detail of his official conduct.
And he is right. He knows the peo.
pie do not agree with him; that they
never have agreed with him; that they
look askance at the new and notorious.

Feed for the Da,rv Cow.


We are satisfied that q great deal of
the dissatisfaction with dairying among
the average farmer is due to the fact
that they do not feed their cows up to
their full capacity. The average Iowa
farmer has usually q number Of cows in
the dairy that are desdbeat boarders,
and under present circumstances the
best way to deal with them is to feed them
all about all they will eat, getting them
up to full feed gr adually, Of course.
Some of these cows will not give good
returns at the pail. These are the ones
to get rid of and by feeding them liber-
ally and full and milking them all the
while, you will have them fit for the
market by the time they 60 dry, then
sell them. This method Of full feeding
is pretty near as good as the Bsbcock
test and a good deal easier applied. The
market will now take all fat COWS
offered at good prices, and with corn
and hay and corn stover at present
prices there is no excuse, whatever, for
running COW at half her capacity. Put
her on her full capacity and whether
she gives the return IN milk or pounds
of gain, you are the gainer.-Wsllsce's

In the great New York March bliz.
zard of 1887 Henry O'Donnell had his
feet frozen 80 badly that both were
amputated. Until few weeks ago he
walked on crutches. Then he had q
pair of artificial feet made, but his
clumsiness with them caused his friends
to laugh. Mr.. O'Donnell at once offer
ed to bet that he could walk 1000 miles
with them. A heavy wager was laid
and O'Donnell is now on his way,

Damp articles Of clothing, particu-
lsrly wet shoes and stockings, are prob
ably among the best friends that doctors
and druggists ever had. A common
cause of taking cold is the laying aside
of warm, especially of flannel under
clothing, heavy cloth overcoats, etc.,
too early In the spring. Even after one
has been careless enough to run the risk
of taking cold, he can often escape the
i'll effects of his rashness by removing
all asmp clothes as quickly as possible,
soaking the feet for ten minutes in hot
mustard water, applying large mus
tard plaster to his back, and covering
up we'll with blankets in q warm room,
30 as to produce free perspiration. The
flow of perspiration from the skin, un-
der such circumstances, is much pro-
NOTED by drinking one or two cups Of
hot tea, for example, chamomile or bon
eset, and such home remedies, If
thoroughly, and, above all, promptly
applied, will often prevent serious ILL.,
ness.

THE ClRN-S0NC

THE CORN-SONG.
Heap high the farmers wintry hoard!
Heap high the golden corn!
No richer gift has autumn poured
From out her lavish horn!
Let other lands exulting, CLEAN
The apple from the pine.
The orange from Its grossy green, Il
The cluster from the vine.
We better love the hardy gift
Our rugged wales bestow,
To cheer us when the storm shall drift
Our harvest-helds with snow.
Through wales Of grass and meads of flowers
Our rlows their burrows made. Is
While on the hills the sun and showers
OF changeful April played.
We dropped the seed DER hill and plain.
Beneath the sun of May.
And friEhtened from our sprouting grain
Inc rObDer crows away.
All through the long, bright days Of June 5
Its leaves grew green and fair,
And waved In not midsummers noon
Its soft and yellow hair.
And now with autumn's mooulit ewes &
Its haryest-time has come,
We pluck away the frosted leaves
And bear the treasure home.
There, when the SHOWS abont us drift,
ana winter winds are cold, !
Fair hands the broken grain shall sift, :
And knead Its meal OF gold,
Let earth withhold her goodly root,
Let mildew blight the rye,
Give to the worm the orchards fruit,
The wheat-flelds to the fly.
But let the good old crop adorn
Inc hills our fathers trod;
Still let us, fofhis golden corn,
Send up our thanks to God.

The Africans of the Gold Coast are as
keen at bargain as the white traders.
Even when they become Christians
their acuteness, which shows itself by
adhearing to the letter rather than to
spirit, often smuses the white mission
sry. An English missionary relates, in
his "Nine Years at the Gold Coast"
that one Sunday he drew his Bible class
to st. Psuls exhortation in Ephesians,
husbands respecting the treatment Of
their wives. "But, sir" said negro,
who thought the Apostle too gallant,
"a Msndingo woman will not think
that her husband loves her unless he
flogs her now and then" Another mis-
slonary demonstrated with a Christian
negro, for whipping his wife. "Do not
1 read" retorted the negro, "that whom
the Lord loveth he chastenethp' Do l
not love my wife?"

Bovine Tuberculosis.


The Ohio experiment station has
made special study of bovine tuber-
culosis and states that the present
status of knowledge concerning the
disease may be summarized as follows:
l. The disease is caused by the
growth within the animal tissues of q
vegetable organism, Bacillus tuber-
culosis.
2. The bacterium of bovine tuber.
culosis has not been specifically differ
entisted from that producing tuber.
culosis In the human subject.
3. Tuberculosis is produced In the
lower animals by incubation with tu.
bercul0sis material from human sub.
jects.
4. tuberculosis has been produced in
man by incubation with the tuber-
culosis material from cattle.
5. The development of tuberculosis
In human subjects has followed in so
many cases upon the use of the meat
or milk of tuberculosis cattle that there
is NO room to doubt that the disease is
transmitted from cattle to man In this
manner.
.. That tuberculosis is q germ dis
ease, caused as surely by contagion or
infection as are smallpox and measles,
is confirmed not only by the innumer-
able cases In which 1t has spread
through herds from single infected ami
mails, but also by the fact that many
herds OF cattle remain exempt from 1t,
and this fact demonstrates the possi-
bility of entire eradication of the dis.
ease.
2. In view of the experience of other
states, it would seem that the rational
method of extirpating bovine tuber-
culosis lies not in the wholesale and
I'M mediate testing of all the cattle of
the state and the slaughter of all re-
naming animals, but in such municipal
action as will control the sale Of both
milk and meat within municipal ilmitH
