VIRTUES Or LIGHT LUNCHES


Amer10an Acuteness due In Part 10
the Mtdday Repasts.
a great many people feel they have
done their whole duty BY sound Iy-
giene when they denounce the .squick
lunch Of the American business world
as the sum Of all gastronomic iniqui-
ties. But in so far as the quick lunch
is light lunch, and 1t usually is this,
it may be blessing ii disguise. In
fact an observing foreigner lays much
of the acuteness and business energy
Of Americans to the fact. that for the
most part the American business and
professional man eats lightly, even If
hurriedly, and drinks but little. at. the
midday meal I hence his mind is clear,
he is not sluggish and he is able to do a
good deal between / O'Clock and s.
As a contrast the foreign observer
mentions the heavy midday ting
habits Of certain European countries,
notably Germany, and to that he at.
tributes the lethargy that is calling for
all the highest efforts Of the best minds
to counterfeit. In this he is in har-
mony with an American specialist,
who in deriving a heavy midday meal
said that .ethe plan OF eating a heavy
meal at noon and returning to work
almost directly from the dinner table
explains the prevalence Of dyspepsia.
in countries not enjoying the long aft
ernoon recess Of the tropics Since
the light lunch and the quick lunch do
not fit in with this criticism those who
have blamed our national dyspepsia
on the busy mans bite had better
look little further into the matter.
Perhaps we do eat too much, as GER
tain diatetic specialists tell us, but it
looks as If we'were slowly approximat-
ing, the. country over, to an ideal dietet-
ic system, for. Americans, which makes
the lunch the slightest meal and the
evening meal the most substantial
meal Of the day, whatever it may be
called. And if the quick lunch Of the
business world has had any effect In
this direction it is not the unmixed evil
some. declare. it to be.-Philadelphia

The first house he came to was sa-

Climate and Crop Bulletin of the Weather
Bureau.

For the week ending June 9, 1902.
There have been no very warm days, or
unusually cool nights during the week.
On the 2nd of the month there was con-
siderable rain, except in the Red River
valley and in the Southwest; on the 9Th
and 9Th there were general rains, which
were locally heavy, though In the South
west these rains we've light; on the 9TH
there were light rains in the southern
counties. The frequent rains have caused
a continuation of the vigorous growth of
the small grams, grasses. corn, potatoes,
fax aud weeds, except on the low lands
where there is too much water, and the
crops are suffering in consequence. Some
of the small rivers in the southeastern
Spart of the state have overfowed their
banks. Wheat, oats and barley have
stooled freely, and there is now danger
/ of their becoming so rank that lodging
will result. Winter wheat is in head, and
early barley is coming into head. Corn
is about all planted, and most of it Is be-
Ing cultivation, though where the rains
were heaviest, cultivation was stopped,
and weeds are getting strong start.
The plum trees are said to he thinly set
with fruit; apples are also poor in
sections. A good strawberry crop is
ripening.

THE FIRST AUTOMOBILE.

1t Was an Ancient, Self Moving
Shrine of Bacchus. Sg xa.
Few, perhaps, are. aware that the
first automobile; considered in the sense
Of a vehicle containing within itself
powers of locomotion, of which there
is any authentic account was a self
moving shrine Of Bacchus. II
E This was the invention of Heron of
Alexandria, who describes it in his
work on automatic mechanism. The
shrine in question was mounted upon,
two supporting and two driving wheels.
On the axle Of the driving wheels was
q drum, about which was wound
rope, which passed upward through
the space on one side Of the shrine over
pulleys and was fastened to the ring of
a ponderous lead weight, which rested
upon q quantity Of dry, fine sand The
escape Of this sand through small
hole in the middle of the floor Of the
compartment containing it allowed the
lead weight gradually to descend and
by pulling upon the cord caused the
shrine to move slowly forward in a
straight line ...5.S@@ Y, !.
Heron describes the method of ar
ranging and proportioning the wheels
In case it was desired that the shrine
move in circular path. He also shows
how the shrine can be constructed to
move In a straight line at right angles
to each other. ~ ~ ~
Officials Of the patent Office overlook
ed the device Of Heron when they
granted patents on slot machines, not
wfthstanding that previously Thomas
Eubank, commissioners Of patents in
1850, illustrated and described Heron's
Invention. The mechanism Of the lat
ter is almost identical with that In the
modern device and simply serves as an
other proof of the saying, '.'There is
nothing new under the Wash
ington Times.

Always wash Before They Pra,

AlWays Wash Before They Pray.
Moslems always battle before they
pray. They would not dare enter the
house of prayer with unclean hands or
feet or faces; hence when the muez-
zin's call is heard from the minaret
five times day faithful Moslems go
first to the fountains that are found
outside Of every mosque and battle
themselves. There are innumerable
lighthouses also in which genuine
Turkish baths and massage are given.
At the same time their houses are
positively filthy filthy, as a rule,
for human beings to occupy-and the
streets Of Constantinople and every
other Turkish town are indescriba BILE

wear is as dirty as their bodies are
clean, and their food is often unfit for

Justice Brown, of the United States
supreme court, delivered the opinion
Of that court in the case of the Mime
apolis & st. Louis Railroad company
VS.. the State Of Minnesota relative to
the right of the railroad and ware
house commission of the state to FIX
the rate for the transportation on hard
coal from the city Of Duluth to south
western points in the state, sustaining
the states contention in that respect.
Exception was taken by this and
other railroad companies to the action
Of the commission in fixing q joint rate
for this commodity upon more roads
than one, as beyond the power Of the
commission, but the court held that, as
the roads were operating upon tina
same basis before their rates were re-.
duced, it was legitimate for the com
mission to make the reduction apply
to all. >- -,

DISTRESSING ASTHMA.
TO Be Cured This Disease Must Be
Fought I'm EARLY Stages.

To Be Cured This Disease Must BE
Fought In Early Stages.
In popular usage asthma is a term
employed to describe a well known
condition, yet it is significant Of the
broadened knowledge of diseases in
general that, as a distinct disease, the
name is applied in a more and more
restricted sense by physicians.
For example, the asthma Of which
DR.. Johnson complains in his later
years, as recorded by Boswell, is SO
clearly set forth by the faithful biog-
rapher that the modern physician is
even now able to determine that an
affection of the heart was responsible
for it.
Asthma is often a family. affection
and is frequently traceable to parents,
grandparents or great-grandparents
Most sufferers are of an excitable, emo
tiOnal or nervous temperament. 1t
bears rather striking analogy to epi
lepsy in that it's attacks are character
ized by suddenness and Influenced by
strong emotions, like fear or grief, and
not infrequently occur at night, when
the sufferer may be plunged from deep
sleep into an attack. In both diseases
excitement during the day is often fol-
lowed by attacks.
Physicians believe, however, that
high strung organization alone is not
sufficient to develop the disorder, but
that some other source of irritation
must be added-that Is, some faulty
state Of the system elsewhere, like dis
ease Of the digestive tract, harmful
factors circulating in the blood, obsta-
cles to free breathing in the nose and
others.
Whatever may be the source they
must be dealt with energetically and at
an early stage, since long standing
cases OF asthma invariably develop
changes In the lungs and heart which
are permanent. The disease can then
be dealt with only by measures aimed
at palliating and cutting short the sep
arate attacks and with no reasonable
hope Of an actual, permanent cure.
For the young sufferer and for those
in the early attacks Of asthma the
writer would emphasize the necessity
of thorough search for and the re-
moval of any and every error in hy-
gienic living In order to avoid the suf-
fering of the chronic asthmatic and the
further diseases which it brings in its
| train.-Youth's Companion.

SWEET, BEAUTIFUL MAY.
BY MICHAEL j. MULLIGAN.

BY MICHAEL j. MULLIGAN.
Welcome, Oh, welcome,
Fair queen Of the spring,
Glad tidings once more
Unto Stafford you bring.
Proclaimer of summer,
We hail thee to- day,
Oh, welcome, thrice welcome,
Sweet, beautiful May.
Five months of cold winter,
We've patiently bore,
Snowflake was the garment
Which Stafford has wore.
Nor'west blew the chill winds
From Greenland's cold bay.
OFT we've sighed for thy zepyhrs,
Sweet, beautiful May.
That snowfleecy garment
No longer Is seen,
Since Stafford has changed hers
For mantle of green.
And now she is clad
All in verdant array,
With respect to Queen Esther,
Sweet, beautiful May.
Jack Frost led the fashion
A mighty long while,
But the color of Erin
Is now all the style.
'Tis the color prize,
May it flourish, pray,
With thy bright morning glories.
Sweet, beautiful May.
Dame Nature awakes
From her winters repose,
Her emerald jewels
Begin to disclose.
The Ice Is now vanished
Which bound every spray,
Till scared by thy coming,
Sweet, beautiful May.
The leafbud, which winter winds
Daily have rocked
Its little shell cradle,
To-day Is unlocked,
And soon shall we see 1t
In wavering display,
Saluting thy breezes,
Sweet, beautiful May.
To day, as fingered
An hour or more,
Where silver lake wavelets
Come seeking the shore,
Their whispered voices,
I've fancied to say,
We're coming to welcome,
Sweet, beautiful May.
Some poets of ancient
And modern days,
Have wrote their sweet lyrics
And sang in thy praise,
And oft have they strayed,
At the dawning of day,
To muse on thy charms,
Sweet, beautiful May.
Oh, give me the season
When juveniles rove
Through the shady, green bower,
Or swing In the grove.
Then young hearts feel happy,
Old hearts become gay,
Oh, who would not welcome
Sweet, beautiful May.
Now winter is over,
And summer Is near,
The whippoorwill's.calling,
Directly we'll hear,
While the proud little warblers
Are chanting away
Ten thousand glad welcomes
Sweet, beautiful May.
