This Cigar Lights Itself

4 self-lightins' cigar is tipped with a
cap of ground glass, saltpeter, potas-
SUM chlorate and gum arabic and a
FRACTIONAL igniter is placed on the sur
face of the cap. On scratching the ig-

President George Z. MacLean, of the
state university at Iowa City, says:
Our complete enrolment is now 1880
students, and on this basis the enroll.

Crop Outlook.

The weekly crop report of the
Washington weather bureau says for
Iowa: Week excessively wet, cold and
cloudy; conditions unfavorahle for
maturing corn and for securing fod-
der; special reports from all sections
of the state indicate that from 40 to
so per cent. of the extra heavy corr
crop will be below marketable stand
ard; drying weather needed to pre-.
vent greatly increased damage to all
unharvested crops; fall blowing and
seeding much below average.

ILLS CAUSED BY HURRY.
table to the Stress and Strnin
of City Life.

To point to the hurry and stress of
modern town life as the cause of half
the ills to which flesh to-day is heir
has become almost commonplace in
Astrological diagnosis. The old-fash-
Toned complaints, says the London
Lancet, might almost excite a medical
mans pity, so much do they seem to
be crowded out by those active, wide
spread young fellows, neuritis, neu-
rasthenia and whole young family
of nervous illness, the offspring of the
strained existence of to-day.
A chain is as strong as its weakest
link, and to-day it appears that the
nervous system is the weak link Of
natural. It is acquired because the
strain upon this link is so often al
most constant and out of proportion
to the wearing power of the material.
Whether as generations advance indi-
vidual nervous systems will more cas-
lily bear the labors asked from them
or not, at any rate, it may fairly be
assumed that in the early days Of
any new style of life the generations
born under an old regime have the
worst of it.
We may imagine future generations
perfectly calm among hundred
telephones and sleeping sweetly
though airships whizz among count
less electric wires over their heads
and a perpetual night traffic of mo-
tor cars turtles past their bedroom
win Az ct !,
rowfully confessed, our nervous sys-
TENS are not so callous. Some of us
still start at the telephone ring and
find the irregularities of the instru-
ment a source of irritation and
worry.
Fortunately, the very causes of
nerve exhaustion so far as improved
rapidity of locomotion may be count
ed one of them, provide one impor-
tant counter-acting feature of town
life at the present day. We are al
luding to the facility with which
those whose week daya are spent in
city toll may spend the seventh in
breathing the fresh ar and behold
ing the innocent Joys Ct the rustic.
Without trains, electric tramways
and motor cars, a wholesome change
of scenery and surroundings would
oe scarcely possible in the limited
time available.
We do not wish to underrate for a
moment the value OF parks and open
spaces-the "city's lungs. For many
these afford the only possibility of Il
Sunday in at any rate comparatively
fresh air. Those large numbers,
though, who habitually find the Sab
baths rest in Il days wholesome ex-
ercise at some little distance from
their work-a-day center may spare a
nom .nt from the usual condemna-
tory attitude toward the hustle, rush
and clatter OF up-to-date locomotion
to bless the emans which enable
them so protitably to enjoy the day

Declared Unconstitutional.

Judge A. H. Mcvey rendered an opin.
Jon in Des Moines that an act of the
Twenty-eighth general assembly au'
thorizing trust companies to go into
voluntary liquidation is void because
unconstitutional. The appeal of GER
tain stockholders to the Home Savings

ment of a trustee in accordance with
this statute, is sustained, Trustee

The adiutant generals office has re-

showing that the state rifle range
there has been damaged quite badly
by recent heavy rains. The effect of
this will be to prevent the Forty-ninth

shoot there about the middle of Oc-

ed to cut the boats out of the ice, but at
the distance of eight inches came to
water, under which the ice became
three feet thick, so that were obliged to
desist.
Wednesday, 90. The cold weather re-
turned, the mercury having sunk 90
below 0, and the snow fell four inches
deep.

EXCURSION TO FLORIDA.

The Burlington Route is organizing a
personally conducted excursion to Flor
ida and Cuba, to leave Nebraska points,
Wednesday, January 80. The route
will be via St. Louis, thence to Jackson
Vile, Fla, through scenes which have
been forever made historic by the dra-
matte events Of the civil war.
An exceedingly low rate has been
made, and members of the excursion
have choice of several attractive trips
after they arrive at Jacksonville.
This opportunity of escaping the most
unpleasant portion of winter and ell
joying in it's stead the delights of a
semi-tropical country will appeal to
every one who has the money and can
spare the time to make an extended

me of concealing my views, to add
that by the work light would be
thrown on the origin of man and his
history 1t would have been useless
and injurious to have paraded, with
out giving any evidence, my convic-
tion with respect to his origin.
After the publication of the Origin of
Species, therefore, he made use of the
material in his possession to write
his now famous book "The Descent of
Man." One motive in doing this was
that it gave him all opportunity of
discussing sexual selection, "a sub
ject," he says, (Which has always in
terested me-" He adds-"this subject
(sexual selection) and that of varia-
tion of our domestic productions to-
gether with the causes and laws of
variation, inheritance, and the inter-
crossing of plants, are the sole sub
jects which have been able to write
about in full, so as to use all the
materials which I have collected
The Descent of Man was published
in 1871, and although it was received
with marked favor by the biological
on the authors head a great amount
of hostile and bitter abuse (it would
be untruthful to dignity such invective
by the name Of criticism) from theo-
logians and others not conversant with
science Darwin's attitude in the
midst of all this hostility, misrepre-
sentation, and often personal attack
was All example for all time to those
who may find themselves in a similar
position. 1t has been we'll expressed
by the late George Henry Lewes in the
following words: "We must call at
tention to the rare and noble calmness
with which he expounds his own
views, undisturbed by the heat Of
polemical agitation which those views
have excited, and persistently refus-
ing to retort to his antagonists by
ridicule, by indignation or by con-
tempt. Considering the amount of
vituperation and insinuation which
has come from the other side, this
forbearance is supremely dignified.
Sexual selection is so peculiarly a
Darwinian factor of evolution, and
plays so important part in the De-
scent of Man that few words con-
cerning it seem desirable. Putting
the facts as briefly as possible, it
amounts to this: 1st. That the Pc
culiarities of the one sex, such as
striking beauty of color or form, or
even greater strengthen some cases
of the male, in others of the female
may preclude the least acceptable in
dividuals from propagating their kind.
2nd. That as consequence Of the re-
lation among animals the marked in
dividuality of the one sex may be
transmitted to that alone, and thus
through inheritance, marked changes
may be produced, and aid in the trans
mutation of one form into another.
With his invariable industry. Darwin
collected vast army of facts and OBJ
servations to support his theory.
