out what it calls an ''unfortunate-
confusion" between the words non
conformists and separatists. We
quote as follows: ''The monochrome
lists believe and profess themselves
to be members of the Church of Eng
land; though there are parts of her
doctrine and discipline to which they
refuse to conform. They refuse t@
separate themselves from her COM
munion. The free churches of TO-
day are the descendants of thosa-
whom these nonconformists always
called separatists. Nonconformists
thought it was sin to separate from
the Church of England; the sepa.
ratists taught the very contrary
namely, that it was sin to remaia,
in communion with her."

IOWA STATE NEWS.
The state Treasury.

When Auditor Merriam settled with
Treasurer Gilbertson at the statehouse
it was found that the state treasury
surplus had fallen to $767, 673, SO far as
the general revenue fund is concerned.
This is the fund out of which the legis-
lature makes appropriations. Howev-
er, it is expected that the surplus will
grow to $1,0OO,OOO on account of the
April collection of taxes and perhaps
an effort will be made to appropriate
on that basis. Following was the dis
tribution of the state assets in charge
of the treasurer when the settlement
was made with the auditor of state:

The Three-Meal Hahit

Our three meal habit is fearful tax
on our working capacity; it trebles the
temptation to overeating; our cham
pions stagger under the weight of a
Physiological handicap; one-ha.f the
functional energy of the system is d.
verified by the exigencies of digestion.
No other hygienic mistake has done so
much to make us a generation of dys-
peptics as the custom of dinner
work. Its victims, more over, incur the
risk of contracting that form of moral
dyspepsia called pessimism. 1t tends
to rob the working day of its reward

THE WORK OF WOLVES.
What the United States Ha. Done t~
Curtail the Destructiveness
of the Animals.

When one or two men or well-growA
boys are killed and eaten by wolves i've
the forests of Canada or the lumber
regions of Maine OF Minnesota, the in
cident causes much excitement in dis
tricts where the conditions are similar.
1t is regarded everywhere as a rars'
tragedy. The number of human VIC
tins of wolves in all North America,
in any year, must be very small. FatsG
attacks by these beasts are altogether
exceptional, says the Cleveland Leader.
That this is SO, like the swift dis.
appearance of the Wolf in the older
| parts of the United States, indicates
that the American wolf, though classess
as the same animal, is less dangerous
andl destructive and also less able to
| cies than the common wolf of Europe
In that continent, where the population
has long been much denser than it is
now in the United States, wolves stils
cause great mischief and end good
many human lives every year.
1t is astonishing that at this latt~
date the wolf should be quite commos
in countries like Spain, Greece, Italy
and France, but in recent years 400 or
500 have been killed in France alone.
| annually. Much harm to poultry, do
nestle animals and game birds az
caused by wolves in al of the cou0-
tries mentioned. In Russia and Ne
southeastern Europe and also in the
Scandinavian peninsula wolves ara
too common and too bold to make the
killing of man or boy by such beasts
remarkable.
In some years over 200 persons have.
been slain by wolves in Russia, ana
in that country they are the cause
! of damages to stock which are very
serious. The average cost of theix
depredations ranges from $1,000 COS
to 100000 a year, not to speak of the
terrible havoc wrought among useful
wild animals.
| The conditions are so different FROM
any which have existed in the older
parts of the United States, within tha
memory OF the present generation, tha&
they are hard to realize. They make.
the rare tragedies and more commax
annoyances which can be charged ss
the wolves of Canada and the wider
parts of this country seem of small i'm
portance, and the query is raised
whether the wolf of America is not nat
urally less ferocious and less bold thsr.
his kinsman of Europe.
If there is really no difference then
the good shooting and free use of fire :
arms in the United States must br,
credited with having done more to suE-
due wolves and rid the country of them
than all the efforts which have heem
made for centuries to do the same thin
in eastern and northern Europe.

existence, and that if there is any
change in the law itshould be along the
line OF arranging the counties into dis
tricts so that they can arrange a cir
cult of meetings, and thus secure the
best talent for speakers at minimum
expense. He believes the system can
be little improved.

A CRUsoE COINCIDENCE.
which Accounts for the Duration Of
RobfnsOn's Exile On His
Lonely Island

Rev. DR.. Edward Everett Hale calls
attention TO some quaint and curious
features in connection with Robinson
CrusOe, which, says the Albany Argus,
have not hitherto been pointed out.
He writes:
Readers who are curious in English
history must not fail to observe that
Robinson CrusOe was shipwrecked on
his island on the 3Oth Of September,
1859. 1t was in that month that the
English commonwealth ended, and
Richard Cromwell left the palace at
Whitehall Robinson lived IN this is
land home for 2S years. These IS years
covered the exact period of the second
Stuart reign in England Robinson
CrusOe returned to England IN June,
1857; the convention parliament, which
esta blished William Ill, met In Lon
don at the same time. All this could
not be an accidental coincidence. De
foe must have meant that the True
born Englishman' could not live in Eng
land during the years while the Stuarts
reigned. Robinson CrusOe was a ruler
himself on his own island, and was
never the subject Of Charles II. or
James II. He was not man without
a country because he had little cOun-
try Of his own; but he was a man in a
country where there was no king but
himself"
