The Precautionary.

Following up the objections sug
gested In our columns last week
against-the appropriation Of 5000,
O0Q for the s.Ianestowa celebration,
We would like to call attention to
andth@S condition of . affairs that
makes this appropriation improper,
inopport9nf, and unjust.
There lives within the counnes of
our State a.great gray host of men,
whose best years were devoted to the
defense Of her honor.

an army Of ruthless invaders intent
upon destrosln her thrift, her pride,
and last but not ,lesst, her honor.

There have been greater men in lit
erature than Montague. but none have
been more successful. His reputation
is immense. He is in mems mouths as
often as Dante or Cervantes. We look
at that intelligent, contemplative, IN
imprisoned face. with its tired eyes,
and wonder that he should have
achieved fame as immortal as that Of
the fierce Italian or the noble Spaniard
In the affairs OF fame luck plays it's
part. Sometimes a mans genius keeps
step with his country and his time. He
gains power from sympathy, his mus
cles harcen. his head clears, as he runs
a winning race. Another man will fail
in the enervaing atmosphere Of recog-
milton and applause. He needs obsta-
cles. the whip and spur OF difficulty.
Montague was born under a lucky
star. Had fate shown him all the king
doms OF the world and all time and
given him the choice when and where
to live he could not have chosen bet
ter.
Montaignes genius is French i'm ev-
cry fiber. He embodies better than any
one other man the French character.
In this world nationality counts for
much both at home and abroad
Frenchmen enjoy their own. They rel
fish French nature. It's niceties. its
strong personality. Sluggish In turning
TO foreign things, they are not prone to
acquire tastes. but whatever is native
to them they cultivate. study and ap-
preciate with rare subtlety. They en-

A LlFE.clvlNC CHAIR.
vibrations Sent Through the Water FIJI
Cushions.

The latest scheme to renew health
and prolong life is a vibrating chair.
BY means of this peculiar bit of mech.
anism it is claimed that youth can
be restored, muscles strengthened and
wasted tissues replaced The princi.
pie upon which the vibrating chair is
worked is an old one. The chair has
a heavy rubber seat and back. Under.
meath this is a coat Of thin rubber.
The heavy rubber contains perfora
tlons which are covered by the thin
rubber. The seat and back of the chair
are filed with water when the patient
sits in the contrivance, and then a
hammer, which strikes a rubber disc,
Is set in motion. This hammer starts
vibratory waves in the water, and
these waves are communicated to the
