The end-of tho century steamship
ship is outdoing all that has gone
before, although ten years from
now recent speed records on the
ocean may look like the traditions
al three dimes. The long distance
trial of the Deutschland from the
M outh of the Oder to the mouth
of the Elbe developed $4,000
mean indicated horse power,
while on the trip from Plymouth
to New York the average indicated
horse power was "a, 200. The total
consumption of coal for twenty
forhours was $50 tons or Is pounds
per horse power hour, remark
ably low figure. This low consum-
ption of coal is attributed to the
use of new system of forced
drAught. The average speed on
the return trip to Plymouth was
twenty-three knots and the aver
age American, however, thinks it
necessary to save time and the
fast lines are constantly watched
for broken records.

Algona Courier: "When dem.
ocrats go to a convention they pay
their own railroad fare, but not so
with republicans. It Is reported
on good authority that passes we're
furnished every delegate in the
state to the republican convention
last week. Fourteen passes came
to Algona for the Kossuth county
boys, but perhaps not all of them
were accepted by the delegates.
Is any further proof needed that
the republican party is the party
of monopolies? The trusts look
after their own and their own are
faithful to them"

Chinese are dangerous enemies, for
they are treacherous. That's Why all
counterfeits of DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salyes are dangerous. They look like
DeWitt's, but instead of the all healing
witch hazel they all contain ingredi-
ents liable to initiate the skin and cause
blood poisoning. For piles, injuries
aud skin diseases use the original aud
genuine DeWitts Witch Hazel Salve.

There are moro ways than one
of depriving people Of rightful
representation in control of their
own affairs. In North Carolina
they require negroes to read and
write. In Connecticut they only
require man to be able to read.
In Rhode Island man must have
property to the value of $134. In
Ohio they bride Legislators and
elect senators the people do not
want. In Iowa they jerrymander
districts in order to insure the
election of republican. In Cass
county they abolish supervisor
districts in order to make the cleo
ton of a democrat impossible. -
Don't squeal now you fellows, it
is all the same old game. what
is sauce for the goose is sauce for
the gander. "-Cass Co. Democrat.

Ten Health Commandments.

The following ten rules are being qno'eu
by English medical journals;
/. Don't leave your rooms IN the morn
ing with an empty stomach.
?. Never expose yourself to cold AIR
Immediately after you have Part"ken oil a
warm liquid of any kind.
?. Don't leave your abode in cold
weather without warm wraps around your
shoulders and breast.
4. Begin respiration in the cold ny
breathing through the nose. Tits VIII
give the air chance to get warm before
reaching the lungs.
5. Never place your back near heated
oven nor against wall, warm or cold.
6. Don't stand before an open window
in a railway carriage, nor take drive IN
an open carriage, after violent physical
exercise.
I. Don't remain moiionless in n cold
room, and do not stand in an open space,
on ice or snow
8. Talk only when you must, for the old
phrase, speech is silver, silence is gold,
holds good even in hygiene.
Q. Don't put off your regular bath.
When tie skin is not kept fresh and soft,
the cold draws the pores together and you
are rendered susceptible to pulmonary
troubles of all kinds.
10. Don't retire with cold or wet feet
Nothing prevents sleep with so much cer-
tainty as the neglect of your pedal ex-
tremities.

KEEP COOL AND LIVE LONG.

He saws for the man who wants to live
to ripe old age to keep cool, don't over
load the stomach, breathe pure air and
lots of it, eat vegetable diet, don't eat
late suppers, 60 to bed early, don't fret,
don't go where you'll get excited, and
don't forget to take hap after dinner.
Out of the interview, which was quite
lengthy, the following observations OF Dr.
Pearsons are culled, and they constitute
series of working aphorisms that are well
worth preservation:-
Most men dig their graves with their
teeth.
No pies or cakes; no pains or aches.
If YOU overwork your liver it will tell on
YOU to your brain by and by.
Live like farmer and you'll live like
prince.
Men can live without eating ten days
they cant do without pure air five min
utes.
Don't get angry and don't get excited
every minute 20 fret you lose minute Of
life.
Let man abuse his stomach aud Le'l
get 6dgety, cross to his family and 60 t'
| the devil.
Doctors cay don't sleep on full stom.
ach. take nav after-diEner nap just the
same and I'm 50 years old. You can't be-
lieve all the doctors say.
If you catch cold lose your quinine
and eat an onion.
Give away your money; it's e1hilarating
and tends to longevity.
The idea of giving while ones alive will
become epidemic as soon as men discover
what fun it is.-Learaing by Doing.
