'Cier-MUNYOM.

The joys of innocence no longer attract
us. We must have excitement and con-
slant change. We have a superficial ac-
quaintance with many things, but thor
ough knowledge of nothing. The mind is
in a whirlgig state, refusing to rest day
or night. You know that snares are laid
for your every footstep. You know the
business paths of today are filled with
pitfalls. Honeyed words are beguiling you
into new enterprises and hazardous un
dertakings. rainbow is painted to you
by cunning promoters. In fact, there is
the will % -the-wisp in every mart in the
land. Tirelessly We go chasing first one
phantom then another. IL We could read
the minds of the people We meet On the
streets or in business houses, the market
places, and all the great moneyed cen
tres, we should find but one thought
money money money, Old and young are
in this chase for gold. Does it bring happi-
ness when one gets IL? Do you think the
multi millionaire is any happier than the
man with 500, 900 or The man with S100. 600
is any happier than the man with $4,000?
/ tell you. gentlemen, they are not. Money
getting beyond ones necessities, does not
bring happiness. ] predict the time will
come when the man with the capacity for
money making will use his talent solely
for the benefit Of those who are less for
tunate than himself. He will help the poor
He will lift up the fallen. He will cheer
the discouraged He will discover that the
only way to be happy himself is to make
others happy.

cult 10 detect the bogus from the genuine.

The Survival of the Fittest

tfTOn me lOflQa lAnes-IDl0n.)
1t is argued that the Chinaman will outlive
us and finally drive US from the fields of pro-
duction, because he can support family on S36
a year. II so science is at fault-this would
not be the survival of the fttest. But the theo-
rists are at fault, not science, for the cheapest
laborer is not he who accepts the smallest wage
but he who makes the greatest return for the
money expended. Now, one American, with the
proper appliances furnished him by capital can
do the work OF fifty Cinnamon for the cost of
twenty five, and this marks the American az Ar
and the Chinsman as the unfttest, except along
certain lines, which are entirely willing 10.
see him monopolize. We freely grant that the
cheapest labor must win in the long run. but
time and production must be taken into eonsidera.
tion, instead Of the mere sum of the wage as
these csllow economists do, who only grasp one
side of EQUATION before rushing into print
with the airs of Solomons and the assurance pec,i-
liar to themselves. The Hungarian and the Swede
have driven the American and the Irishman from
the mine by underbidding them; but his does
not prove that the lowest is the 6ttest-the
higher have gone up and left vacancy for the
lower. The negro hand has driven the white
man from the farm in great measure, but we
still find the white man at the head of every.
thing under the sun, including Africa.

TWO MAGAZINES EXPLODE.
The Tremendous Havoc Wrought by
NitFogIycerine.

BOLIVAR. n Y. Feb. 5.-Two storage
magazines located on the Stout farm, six
miles east of Wellsville, containing $500
pounds of nitroglycerine exploded a few
minutes after o'clock last night with
report that was heard forty miles away
and thought to be an earthquake Both
magazines were built of hemlOck and
they vanished in a cloud of dust and
smoke
The larger magazine was owned by the
Rock Glycerine Company of Bradford, Pa,
and contained $50 quarts. The smaller be-
longed to the Pennsylvania Torpedo Com
pany, of Bradford. and held 120 quarts of
nitroglycerine. house Loco feet away
was badly wrecked. Where the big maga-
zine stood there is hole in the earth five
feet deep and forty feet across. Not a
splinter of either magazine remains.
Rocks that weighed 500 pounds were car
ried 200 feet. A hole as clean as if made
by hig bullet was bored through a maple
tree that stood nearby, either by a rock
or piece of gaspipe
George Burdick, an employe who looks
after the Rock Glycerine magazine, visited
il just before the explosion and found ev-
erything all right. The theory is that the
small magazine exploded first from some
unknown cause and the concussion set of
the big magazine. The explosion is
charged TO defective heating of the small
magazine, as the magazines were located
in an isolated locality and no one was
nearby. No one was hurt

A MANIA FOR BORING HOLES.
An Insomnia Victim Terrifies "a Vii
lage i'm Ohio,

CLEVELAND, Feb. 5.-Frank Hooley, a
farmers son, has confessed to being the
individual who filled the little hamlet Of
Montville. Gaeuga county, full of holes,
and in so doing surfeited that section of
Ohio with mystery and no end of super
stitious fright, incidentally causing the
suicide of one man, TO whom circums tan
tial evidence pointed as the perpetrator
of the deed. Hooley, who is nineteen
years old, appeared before Justice Case
and swore to the following strange story:
About one year ago l began to be trou-
bled with insomnia Later the trouble be-
came worse, and passed night after night
without sleep. When / shut my eyes
could see augurs to the right, augurs to
the left, nothing but augurs. l felt an
uncomfortable desire to bore holes, and
was so nervous that / thought / should go
crazy. One night, after trying in vain for
several hours to get to sleep, | arose,
went to the barn, and bored a hole in one
of the doors. | Immediately experienced a
change of feeling and my nervousness dis
appeared. l went to bed and slept soundly
all night.
Il had found a panacea for all my ills,
but, alas! II did not last long, and | soon
found that boring holes in the barn would
not bring sleep. ] felt that / must try
houses, and did. Neighbors' houses were
perforated. About one hole TO each house
and the virtue was gone. l make this con-
fession because | am sick of the business
and l wish to be taken where l can be
treated for this Dameless disease"
The statement has created a sensation,
second only to the old query about the
holes. For weeks after the startling dis
covery was made the little settlement was
in a fever of excitement. Residents we're
utterly at loss to expalin the purpose of
the borings. The sleeping apartments
were changed TO the upper rooms of the
houses, and al night presented a formida
bic array of shotguns, clubs. and other
weapons. A hole had been bored through
the outside wall of every dwelling in the
village except two, and in a few houses
two holes were bored. Hooley's general
appearance is described as very strange.
He is fully six feet high and unduly thin.
His shoulders are bent and his eyes sunk
en-, giving him a singulaTly uncanny ap-
pearance.

RULERS or THE WORLD.
Meat Eating Nations Are the Leaders
in Every Branch of Human
Achievement.

The ruling nations of the world are meat
eaters. and history records that they always
have been.
Vegetsrians and food ersnks may explain
this in any way they choose, but the facts
French. Russians and Germans are meat
eating nations, and they are also the most
energetic and most progressive.
The principal food Of the heroic BOer SOL
der known BiltOng, is a sort of dried
beef. affording a great deal Of nourishment
in a highly concentrated form.
The weak races Of people are the rice
eating Chinese. Hindoos. and Sismese, re-
garded since the dawn of history as nom
progressive superstitious, and inferior
physically and mentally to the meat-eating
nations who dominate them.
The structure of the teeth plainly indi-
Gates that human beings should subsist
upon a variety of food. meat. fruit. and
grains and il is unhygienic 60 confine ones
diet to any one of those classes to the ex-
clusion of another.
Meat is the most concentrated and most
easily digested of foods. but our manner Of
living is often so unnatural that the di-
gestive organs refuse to properly digest
meats. eggs and similar nutritious and
wholesome food but 1t is not because such
food is unwhOIeS0me, DuI the real reason
is that the stomach lacks. from disease or
weakness, some necessary digestive ele-
ment; hence arising indigestion and later
on chronic dyspepsia.
Nervous people should eat plenty of meat.
coavalescents should make meat the prin-
cipal food hard-working people have 10 do
so. and brainworkers and Office men should
eat not so much meat, but at least once
day and 10 ensure it's perfect digestion
one of two Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
should be taken after each meal. because
they supply the peptones, diastase. and
fruit acids lacking in every case of stOm-
ach trouble.
Nervous dyspepsia, catarrh Of stomach,
gastritis, sour stomach, gas. and scidity are
only different names for indigestion. the
failure to digest wholesome food, and the
use of Stuart's Tablets cures them all be-
cause. by affording perfect digestion, the
stomach has a chance to rest and recover
its natural tone and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the real
household medicine; IL is as safe and pleas
ant for the stomachache OF the baby as it
is for the imperfect digestion of its grand
sire.
They are not a cathartic, but digestive.
and no pill habit can ever follow their use:
the only habit Stuart's Tablets induce Is
the habit OF good digestion and eonss-
quently good health.

the rear of 2026 Pearl Street. It was taken

places. Charles Weisenborn, employed in
a bakers shop, has been arrested. The
boys in the neighborhOOd teased Weisen-
born, and several times he threatened to
kill some of them.
Weisenborn confessed that he killed the
boy. He said that last night he was going
into the stable when Dugan jumped at
him and scratched his face. He caught
him by the neck and beat him in the face
and then threw him to the ground where
he left him. Weisenborn says he did not
know the boy was dead, and that he struck
him only with his fist
