Is a Good Breakfast Necessarily Yes.

Is a Good Breakfast Necessarily Yes.
A good breakfast is the physical basis
of days work. The American break
fast, regarded with so much horror on
the European continent, has contrib
uted largely to make the nation what
it is today. 1t enabled our forefathers
to do an amount Of work which it APP
pals foreigners to contemplate.
AS rule there is something wrong
with the man or with his habits if he
cannot eat good breakfast. A man
who works at high tension all through
the morning hours without this sub
stantial foundation is working entirely
upon his nerves. That means disorder
ed nutrition and sooner or later bank
ruptcy and collapse.
If man gets up in the morning with
q bad taste and no inclination for food,
it is because his system is full of waste
and his circulation of distractions. Let
him make a radical change in his hab-
it's and train his digestive organs to ac-
commodate a nourishing morning meal

Time and Telephone Work Wonders.
was startled the other day and in
an entirely new way" said prominent
electrical engineer. s'The use of the
telephone has become so much a part
OF my life that in talking with my
friends and acquaintance every few
days | apparently kept up the &C.
quaintance as of old, when I used to
see them more regularly. A few days
ago | had occasion to visit an old time
friend of mine with whom I had talked
PROBABLY once a week or oftener for
the past three or four years, but whom
l had not seen during that period.
When met him, was startled. His
black beard had turned gray, almost
white, and he had changed in other
respects, as was natural, during the
three or four years of that period, yet
through the use of the telephone L had
in my minds eye seen him as of old
every time l had talked with him, and
you may imagine how surprised, even
shocked, was to see this change in
him.
Did you ever have a similar expert
ence! l imagine the increasing use OF
the telephone causes many of them.
You hear the usual voice on the tele-
phone and mentally picture the friend
as he looked when you saw him last,
which may have been year or several
years In the past. '-Electrical Review

A CurfOua Error.

The Rev. DR.. Edward Everett Hale
told how curious error crept into the
translation Of the Lords Prayer into
the Delaware Indian tongue. The Eng
lish translator had as an assistant an
Indian who knew English. what Is
'hallow' in Delaware?" asked the trans
lator. The Indian thought he said hal
loo" and gave him the equivalent.
Therefore the Delaware version of the
Lords Prayer reads to this day, "Our
Father, who art in heaven, halloOed be
thy name"

When Hurry Wa. the Fashion.

The following extract from the Lon
don Times of May IA, 1901, gives an
interesting picture of the good old
days: ut Is now the high fashion to
run, or at least to trot, through the
streets at a rate Of six miles an hour.
A running walk is absolutely necessary
for any young man who has the least
pretension to ton. You must lounge in
a hurry and saunter with expedition.
1t is an old proverb, the more haste the
worst speed, but Bond street daily
shows us the more hurry the less to
do. When we see our idle youths rid
ing race horses, walking for wagers or
boxing for fame, we must agree with
Horace that 'strenua nos exercet In
ertia.'"

Cea.ele.. Growth of the Ears.

The systematic examination Of more
than 10000 pairs of human ears in
England and France has resulted in
some interesting conclusions. For one
thing, it Is ascertained that the ear
continues to grow in the later decades
Of life. In fact, it appears never to
stop growing until death. A woman
who has small, shell-like ears at 20
years Of age will be very apt to possess
medium sized ears at 40 years and
large ears at 60. - Saturday Evening

| of the Northern Pacific

only denies. over and over, in the
most positive manner that he had
| anything whatever to do with the re-
cent stock furry in Wall street, or
has anything whatever to do with
"the street end of the stocks he owns"
but is credited with an interesting en-
preston of opinion as to what is in
reality the most potent industrial in
terest in the United States. In an
swer Ia the question: What interests
have the most money and the greatest
iniluence!" his reply is given verba-
tim:
'Fhe agricultural interests are the
! most important They represent one
half the population of the United
States. onehalf the capital. and
about all the patriotism there is"
This vnew the president of the
Northern Pacific emphasized in re-
sponsc to one other question: Ques-
tion implying dissent from his state
ment. The interviewer said: But
the money influence is mostly in the
large cities"
Mr.. llilrs answer was: "rhe coun-
try at large rules the cities. | should
be sorry to see the time come when

try. At present they do not When

pie who remember where the strong
holds of the wild craze for free coin-
age of silver We're situated: who form
ed the populations that lent them
selves to the subtle movement of the
silver mine kings and would have
forced a debased and dishonest cur
rency upon the nation. In that case
it was the loudly abused banking,
manufacturing and commercial inter-
ests that upheld the integrity of
the country"
Perhaps it might he as well not to
sharply conclude that "all the patriot
ism and feeling there is" resides. or
is embodied in any one class of citi-
zens of this big country with its mani
fold interockng interests.
