TIE MEGH1GE.

The Presidents message isn't any
longer than usual, but it is long enough.
There is nothing startling in it, and it
is well there isn't but there is much in
it that is interesting. The President
makes a very clear ard informing state
ment Of the Chinese business, and
shows that the government of this coun-
try has steadily stood for peace and for
considerate treatment of China. He adj
vocates Legislation that will make the
gold standard secure. He favors uni
formity of Legislation on trusts in the
several States as far as possible to sup
plement the action of Congress which
is restrained by limitations of consti-
tutiona power" He asks that the
standing army be increased to 100000
men, and approves the plans submitted
for the increase of the navy. He would
have the war tax reduced, and he rec
ommends that lynching be dealt with
by federal laws. He reports progress
in the Philippines, and doesn't favor
imperialism. On this point he says:
"Our growing power brings with it
temptations and perils requiring con-
slant vigilance to avoid. 1t must not
be used to invite conflicts, nor for OPP
preston, but for the more effective
maintenance Of those principles of
equality and justice upon which our in
stitutions and happiness depend He
calls attention to the danger of extrav
agance in government appropriations
and expenditures, and doesn't make
any recommendation concerning the in
teroceanic canal.

Il QUEER CASE.

All the queer things don't happen in
Kansas. For instance, John Bunch, a
pioneer citizen of Macon county, Mis-
souri,, is suing the town of La Plata for
$4,000 damages resulting from an at
tack of bumblebees while the plaintiff
was in the town calaboose. Bunch was
arrested for some trifling offense and
taken to the town lookup by the mar
shall The little frame building that
does duty for a Jail is in an out of-the-
way part of town. Bunch had the hon
or of being the first and only human
inmate during the day. The bees were
there, and they soon struck up much
warmer association with the prisoner
than their brief acquaintance would
warrant. Bunch had nothing but his
hands with which to defend himself.
He shouted Justify for help, and while
his mouth was open several bees darted
in and stung his tongue and throat so
question whether the doctors could keep
the respiratory organs open. Bunch al
leges that he was forced to endure the
torture eight hours before he was res
cued, and that he is permanently injur-
cious attack of the bumblebees.

REL1zY AND LIVE LONG.

Lazy people are getting some notable
encouragement nowadays. A distin-
gushed English DOCTOR so distinguish
ed that he is one of the queens doctors,
condemns the unnecessary waste of
energy by exercise, and he cites Mr.
Joseph Chamberlain, who takes no
physical exercise, as a conspicuous
example of the soundness of his theory.
And Chicago doctor. specialist in
hygiene" draws the line where exer-
else ceases to be useful. He fixes it at
the age of 35. His argument is based
on hygienc laws. He points out that
the great cleaning organs of the body
reach their greatest activity at mid
die age, about $751; that from that per-
iod they begin to decline and after so
become slightly atrophied. Every ac-
ton, whether of muscle or brain, de-
stroys existing cells as well as builds up
new ones and thus throws work upon
the cleansers. SO long as the activity of
these organs increases exercise which
builds UP new muscle is natural and
beneficial. But after that time exercise
which tends to clog the system with
waste matter should be avoided.
According to this the people who are
so busy being athletic may be making
a mistake. Is it possible that a man
shouldn't play golf after he is 35?

Hadji Ali, the oldest packer in the
service of Uncle Sam, received his dis
charge recently in San Francisco. In
1856 the army officials determined to ex-
pertinent with the camel as means of
transporting army supplies. Agents
were sent to Turkey to purchase the
animals, and employed Hadji Ali to
care for them. He brought them to
this country and for a number of years
cared for them, until the experiment
proved a failure, the patient little mule
proving a far better animal for pack
trains. All in the meantime had learn
ed the ways of the burro and took on
as packer, serving in that capacity up
to his discharge. He was known the
length and breadth Of the continent as
Eli jolly" and was carried on the pay
rolls under that name. He received the
nickname from the soldiers who served
with him, and the old Turk liked it bet
ter than his own.

Artificial sponges are the latest. The
method is based on the action of zinc
chloride on cellulose, by which spongy
compounds similar to starch are pro-
duced. These products when placed in
water swell, and, in an atmosphere suf-
ficently dry, soon become hard again.
The formula for making the sponges is
given as follows: One hundred grams
of cellulose are treated with four kilo-
grams of a concentrated solution of
zinc and sodium chloride. This results
in plastic mass, slightly viscous, to
which is added about a kilogram of
coarse bay salt. The substance is then
placed in a specially constructed mill
and pierced with two or three hundred
holes to form canals, and is then placed
in a bath Of alcohol and water for
twenty-four hours. These sponges can
be produced quite cheaply, and possess
great durability, though they are said
to be harder than the natural sub
stance.

ONE OF PROSP ERTTT'S DANGERS,
Prosperity has Its dangers, and one of
them which wouldn't be thought of by
everybody is thought of and pointed
out by an insurance man. In mills and
factories, says he where they used to
have plenty of time to look after the
boilers, things are going at such rate
that they have to employ both day and
night shifts, with the result that there
is no time at which the plant can be
carefully inspected. 1t is the same
with dynamos and electric wires In
places where, when business was duller,
the management was marvel of neat
ness, combustible waste is now allowed
to accumulate, because the rooms can
not be emptied for proper cleaning The
consequence of all this is record for
fires, explosions and smashes which
was never dreamed of in the quiet days
before the BOOM
OF course prosperity can't stop, or
even slow up, to accommodate insur-
ance companies. 1t must go on and on
until the final explosion and smash,
when there will be time to clean up
and make repairs.

right, and 50 to get another doctor.

The coffee growing industry in tropi-
cal Africa Is developing tremendously.
The seed was introduced in that coun-
try about five years ago by some Eng
fish missionaries with the object of as
pertaining whether the resources of At
RIGA were favorable to the culture of
the berry The ground appears to be
peculiarly adapted to the industry, as
100 tons of coffee were exported from
Unganda alone last year. The result of
this years production will be even
greater.

Another poker debt case has reached
the appellate court in New York.
Wherein this case differs from the con-
ventiona1 dispute over a gambling debt
is the fact that the debtor and defend
ant in the case freely acknowledges his
debt and shows that he used the money
he owed the plaintiff as a contribution
to the fund for sick babies. His plea
in defense of this performance was that
he was about to pay up when he was
Informed that the winner had publicly
denounced him as a welcher, or as a
man who was not in the habit Of pay
ing his poker debts. This so enraged
him that he determined not to meet his
obligation to his detractor. The court
did not consider this phase of the ques-
tion, but simply held that a gambling
debt was not collectible by law.

A United States patent for a piece of
land issued to Barnabas Norton dur
ing the Administration of Martin Van
Buren,, April Is, 1887, has been filed in
Flint, Mich. The patent Is written on
sheepskin and bears the signature of
President Van Buren,. The remarkable
contrast between that far distant date
and the present time is Shown in the
fact that the autographs alone would
probably command as much to-day as
120 acres of land was worth when the
patent was issued. An old resident of
the county said that the land covered
by the patent was worth in those days
about $50. The document had never
before been filed for record.
