hot weather deserves the thanks of
all, in addition to the more suostan-

new breezemaker for attachment to
wagons and any one who is compelled
to take long rides over dusty roads on

merits of the device at once. The in
ventor is William S. Robinson of Ken

that it can be readily secured to the
ordinary covered buggy in a few min

ment to one of the rear hubs, carrying
a toothed wheel, which meshes with a
smaller wheel. On the same shaft
with the latter wheel is a grooyed pull

the top of the carriage. Here is mount

Inherited Diseases.

~ The question of heredity, or the
transmission of certain mental traits
or physical characteristics from par
ents to children. is. one that has been
much studied, but of which as yet toe
little is known. Formerly the inher-
|<itance of disease was believed in i'm
plicitly, by physicians as well as lay
men, and the list Of maladies to which
children were supposed to be almost
inevitably condemned by the accident
of birth was a very long one. y ~ ~. .<.=
Among these hereditary diseases
were reckoned consumption and scrof-
ula, leprosy, gout, rheumatism, goitre,
cancer, insanity, epilepsy and many
other nervous affections. l. :, !. si#
AS we. learn more about these NAL
aides, however, one after another o1
them is removed wholly or in part
from this category and placed among
the acquired diseases. - " ~.
D.. Undoubtedly. some diseases are real
ly inherited, but their number is GER
tainly not large. Many diseases run
in families, but are not on that account
necessarily hereditary. < =. ...l.. :. !
Consumption, for example, was only
recently regarded as one of the most
surely inherited diseases, and is still
believed by many to be so. But we
know that it is a germ disease '.nae.-,
while not catching" in the ordinary
sense of the word, is readily transmit
ted from the sick to the well when the
invalid is careless in his habits, espe-
cially as regards expectoration. It is
also acquired more readily by those Of
delicate constitution than by the ro-
bust. B, <.., - @a,.. S +, Il
& The children Of consumptive parents
are seldom robust. and SO are predis-
posed to any Of the germ diseases, and
living constantly in house where the
germs of consumption are necessarily
abundant they are very likely to be-
come victims Of that disease. s
is is an iInnort tant tact teaches,
US that since, as rule, only the prea
disposition to the family disease is in
herited, and not the disease itself, the
chances of the younger generation es-
Gaping, if proper care is used, are very
great.
The bringing up of child in con-
sumptive family should be of a spe-
cially hygienic character. The best of
food, floods of fresh air and sunlight,
not too much study, long hours of sleep
in a well-ventilated room and, as far
as possible, avoidance of exposure to
the contagion of the family malady-
these are the weapons by which the
malign influence of inherited weakness
of constitution may be overcome and
many precious lives savea.-Youths'
Companion.

CHANGES nv THE
SEATS OF
GOVERNMENT OF
VARIOUS STATES,


lished as such until after some contro-
versy.
By what may best, perhaps, be des-
cribed as paradox, Rhode Island, the
smallest of the states in the country,
has had the largest number of capitals.
1t now has two, Providence and New
port, and originally had FIVE simulta-
neous capitals, so to speak-Providence
Newport, South Kingstown, East
Greenwich and Bristol. Connecticut
had two-Hartford and New Haven
and it is sometimes found difficult, at
present, to understand why a small
state with a sparse population and hav-
ing little official business to transact
should have found it. necessary to
maintain more than one capital It is
explained by the fact, however, that in
early times and for some years after
the revolutionary period, local jealous
les existed between the several towns
Of the state, and it was to appease these
jealOusies that the concession was
made of two capitals. Rhode Island,
though not the pioneer, is now the last
survivor of this custom, and it's citi-
zens are to vote in November on the
proposition to do away with Newport
as a capital and to establish Providence
as the only one. arts H. z.
% Another reason which has had con-
siderable to do with the establishment
of capitals in early times in country
districts was found in the definite
boundaries Of the states. ALI the orig
inal states had fixed boundaries when
admitted, but most of the western and
southern states were subdivisions Of
former territories. and the capital
which was appropriate at one time
would not serve after different bound
aries We're chosen. The territory of
Michigan, for instance, included a part
of northwestern Ohio, including the
city of Toledo. Ohio was admitted in
to the union in 1902, and the north
western counties were not annexed to
it until 1886. This change in the
state boundaries justified the selection
Of a more northerly town for the capi-
tai, and Columbus was chosen.
The United States has changed it's

afterwards in PHILADELPHIA, like most.

Original / s i
Capitals

Very few American states have now
their original state capitals, a circum-
stance which is being recalled by the
observaEces in various parts of the
country of anniversaries of the estab
lishment of the present capitals. The
original capital of Indiana was Cory
don; of Illinois, Vandalia; and of Ohio,
Chillicothe. Corydon and Vandalia
are small towns, but Chillicothe has
grown to be city of some Importance.
The original capital of New York was
New York city, and for a short time
New York had two capitals-New York
city and Jamaica, L. I. AfterWard the
course of capital moved northward,
first to Poughkeepsie, then to Kings
ton, and finally to Albany, where it has
been situated for more than a century.
The original capital Of Alabama was
Tuscaloosa, and of Georgia, Milledge-
vile, until suspersed by Atlanta after
the close Of the civil war. Iowa City
was the original capital of Iowa, now
Des Moines, and in some of the new
Northwestern States, notably North
Dakota, it has been necessary to put
the matter of capital selection to the
determination of the voters on several
occasions, and not without consider
able contention and friction in the set
tlement of the dispute. New Orleans,
for a time after the civil war the capi-
tai of Louisiana, had been superseded
by Baton Rouge. Detroit, the largest
city in Michigan, was originally the
capital, a position now occupied by
Lansing. Lecompton was the first
capital Of Kansas; Topeka is the capi-
tai now. III.
Omaha was the capital of Nebraska
as territory and remained such for a
short time after its admission, until
Lincoln succeeded it. Wheeling was
the first capital Of West Virginia be-
fore the selection Of Charleston, and
Virginia City was the capital of Ne
vada before the selection of Carson
City, or Carson, as it is called locally.
