injected recently in Paris into Mr..
Abram S. Hewitt. sometime mayor
Of New York. and the injections are
being kept up now in New York,
with apparently good results. The

Of strength which it has given him,
but, as TO tue increase Of his years,

A Real Democracy.

There are almost as many kinds of
Parliament as there are races which
elect them. Some are amazingly anti
quated in their methods of procedure,
while others are as go-ahead as it is
possible to be. On the continent, how
ever, more or less of family likeness
exists between the Parliaments of the
various great powers, though in the
lesser states there are many interest
ing and distinctive methods of govern
ment. One of the most remarkable in
stances of these existing today is the
"Landsgemeinde" of the canton Of
Glarus, in Switzerland.
The government of no Swiss canton
by the people is more absolute than in
that of Glarus, where the burghers as,
semble annually to hold their outdoor
Parliament in a large square-usually
on the first Sunday in May weather
permitting. The honored president &C.
cupies platform in the middle of the
square. There are places for bbys
around this platform, the young idea
thus being taught early how to legis-
late wisely and well for it's beloved
country. Altogether the "Landsge-
meinde" is one of the most quaint and
ideal little Parliaments in existence.

A UNIQUE FUNERAL
Quaint Burial Custom of the Amis
Sect In PennsyIvania

Quaint Burial Custom of the Amfsh
Sect In Pennsylvania.
The funeral of John M. Mast at Nor
gantown, Pa, recently, was an Illus
tration of the unique burial custom
of the Amish sect. In a room of the
large farmhouse of the dead man was
the plain walnut coffin, containing the
body. There was very little trim
ming on the inside of the coffin, which
was without plate, handles or trim
mlngs. The white shroud was little
else than a winding sheet. The long.
white hair and flowing white beard of
the dead man gave him truly patri-
archal appearance. The floor was up-
carpeted, and the room was filled with
chairs and benches. At one side df
the coffin sat the near female rela-
tives, who wore white caps. On the
other side were the men. The hats
and cloaks of the family hung upon
the wall. The other rooms were oc-
cupied by other relatives, friends and
acquaintances. At the farmhouse gate
stood two men wearing black, wide
trimmed hats, who personally invited
all friends from distance to proceed
to rear summer kitchen where cold
meats, bread and rusks were served
with hot coffee from 9 O'Clock until
10:30. All who had come from a dis
tance were we'll fed.
The service lasted until noon, the
two addresses occupying one hour and
half. All the service was in tho
Pennsylvania German vernacular.
There was no music. The lone
prayer was intoned or chanted.
Of the 200 Amish men present all
wore the same kind of hat of black
wool. with wide brm and low

Swift Birds and Fishes.

The worlds swiftest travellers are
found in the air and water. They are
the birds and the fishes. Carrier
pigeons have been known to attain a
speed OF ninety miles an hour. Wild
pigeons often fly hundreds of miles in
day to feed and return to their roost
at night. Audubon estimated that they
travelled at the rate of mile minute.
Migrating birds fly over great distances
and therefore must have great strength
as we'll as speed. Bobolinks often rear
their young on the shores of the north
ern lakes and then spend their winters
in Cuba and Porto Rico To do this
they must twice cover distance of
nearly 5000 miles or more than one
fifth the circumference of the earth
The humming bird travels fully 1000
miles year and many other small
birds exceed this distance.
The racers of the water are the sal
mon and swordfsh. Only running
horse could outstrip a salmon for it
can swim a mile in less than two min
utes and keep this up for some time
The salmon is also noted for it's leap
ing ability, having been known to leap
up waterfalls II feet high. 1t prepares
for a jump, just as boy does, with a
short, sharp run. If the water at the

undoubtedly the hardness of the
American wind wheel which has so

THE agricultural class, for it is that
class which at present is it's chief user
1t will not be far out of the way to

United States at upward of 600 900.
These wheels are, however, in the
main SO small and unobtrusive, and
we have become so accustomed to see
ing them that they are hardly noticed
unless displayed in unusually conspic-

There have been about one hundred
firms engaged in the manufacture Of
wind wheels In the United States, and
two-thirds of these have been located
within short distance Of Chicago, so
