It seems now that Michigan had
other reasons than those ascribed for
not entering the late interstate compe-

of an inferior class, and therefore it
would be waste bOf time and in

a team to the national rifle competition
at Sea Girt, N. J..nwhich made a fair
showing. This may result in barring
Michigan from amy future interstate
competitions for this trophy.

Food and Brains.

The advantage of fasting for intel
lectual work is being eXemplified by a
professor of the West Virginia univer-
sity, who will refrain from eating food
for 80 days, during which time he will
daily deliver his customary lectures to
the class of the summer quarter. 1t is
the professors idea that the less food
there is in the stomach the more blood
can be drawn to the brain, and that its
action should be superior in every way
to that of a man who is clogged with
food. 1t will be interesting to watch
the professors lectures daily becom-
ing more brilliant while his weight de-
creases. One can imagine that the
farther he gets to infinite wisdom, un-
til, when he arrives at the 3Oth day Of
his fast, the thinking world will be
simply dazzled by the intellectual out
burst. If this is demonstrated, all We
need to do to produce 'Thanatopss"
or "Grays Elegy" is to take COM
monplace poet and place him in cell
for thirty days on q diet of filtered
water.

Ata DlsadvAntage.

Perhaps it is because they begin 1t
in a conceited frame of mind that the
great majority are SO disagreeable at
breakfast, suggests Baltimore Sun. No
matter when they arrive they are proud
OF it. II they come early, their air OF
superiority makes their presence insult
icrable; if late, they are vain OF it, as
though it were habit peculiar to
themselves and denoting luxurious
ways and princcly tastes. And as 10
appetite, appetite too offers a wide field
for scli-aggrandizement. Has one a
desire for flannel cakes and mullins one
is so healthy" so vigorous" SO fit
ior the strenuous lie Our wise ruler has
taught us to lead. Does one but toy
with ones knife and fork, or only take
a sip OF Mocha, ones conceit reaches
the ceiling and the atmosphere becomes
rarehed to a degree impossible for or
binary people to breathe. Your sister
Alice said a mother, recounting the
virtue of the departed, "ate one slice
OF dry toast and drank cup of tea Tor
breakfast and nothing else for years"
1t was said with the air OF linallty that
caused those present to resolve to put
it on her tombstone.
The breakfast table mental frame is
equally difficult to meet. Is one among
you merry, he enragcs all the rest; is
one solemn, he casts a gloom. The
truth is, breakfast is a meal to be eaten
in solitude. They understand these
things, as Uncle Toby remarked, better
in France. oh" said Lamb, after a
visit to Wordsworth and finally get
ting home. 'oh, the JOY OF eating
alone" And in France we eat alone
with such dclibcration, if with such
simplicity with such economy and
such refrcshment. The coffee the crisp
roll, the pat of salticss butter and the
peace. Nothing to hint that buttercd
walics tend to obesity, no one to refuse
hot bread and wait with martyrcd toast
1t is an unnecessary strain, that OF
brcakiasting together and a civilized
being should recognize that he is not
at his best till afternoon.

Compressed Air for rline Haulage.

Many mines have replaced ANNA
hauage with comprcSSed-a motors
which lend themselves spendidly to the
work desired There are. in general
two systems-the lowpressurc system
in which air is compressed to five OF
six hundred pounds; and the high-preS'
thousand pounds and over. The former
system can be used in large gallerie>
or tunnels or drifts, where the Width
is ample and the track is reasonably
straight, This permits a large recelv.
er on the motor, thirty to forty inches
in diameter and from eight to sixteer
feet long, to be handled with ease
The high-preSSure system is uSet
where the drifts are narrow or the
curves are on a small radius, permitting
only a small wheel-basc on the motor
Large receivers are, therefore, imprac'
teal. and steel tubes must be used and
charged with high-presSure air to get
sufficient volume.
Compressed air may be used cold or
either OF these motors. or the air may
be passed to small tanks OF hot water
supplied to the motor at the charging
stations. The air and hot water com.
binaton does almost double the work
that cold air will do.
These motors can carry sufficient all
for any ordinary run desired and hau
tremendous loads. Two miles and re.
turn, with fifteen or twenty loaded cars
is not an extraordinary effort, and
from the general results obtained, the
cost of hauage is from one-half to one
third OF the cost OF animal power. The
air escaping from the exhaust OF the
motor engines adds to the vcntilatine
effect in the mine. and the whole sys.
tenn harmonizes throughout with the
power outfit.

London Publication Again Resur- Fects the Mythical American
 Who TOadieS to Royalty.

A continental hotel keeper, says a writer in the London Truth, recently confded the following story to a friend of mine: Some years ago, after Queen Victoria had been staying at certain hotel, wealthy American called on the proprietor and signified his desire to sleep if it could be managed, in the same apartments, the same bed, and if possi- ble, the same bed clothes, as those which had held the sacred person of her maj esty before they had been sent to the wash. Money was no object to him. What would it cost?
 The hotel proprietor was equal to the occasion. He thought it could be ar ranged for e20. A bargain was struck on these terms. The millionaire duly arrived and retired to the royal couch No doubt he thoroughly enjoyed his nights rest, and the prospect of subse- quently elecrifying his friends with the story of his regal experience His pleas ure must have been somewhat marre( when he discovered later on that bel Britannic majesty always travelled witt her own bed and hedding,

THREE MEALS A DAY.
Relation Between Nations Food Bills and It's Commerce shown
 by Ssatisncs.

Statistics have been collected to show that the measure of the prosperity of country is the amount of food con- sumed by it's inhabitants-in other words, that diet and commerce go hand in hand The countries which consume the largest amount of food and drink per capita are the countries which have the largest surplus for export to other lands; the countries which are abstemi- ous or moderate in their consumption of food and drink have little surplus to send away, says the New York Sun.
 The average cost of food per capita in the United States is SO cents day; the United States stands at the head of exporting countries with an average of $l,250,000,000 in year.
 The average consumption of food and l drink in England is 50 cents per capita, l and England stands second on the list of exporting countries. Germany is the third with an export trade of more than 00,000,000, and 45 cents a day the average per capita spent for food and drink (beer included).
 trance mas an export trade or SSOU,- 100000 year and the average expense to each inhabitant for food and drink is 40 cents day. Russia with an ex- port trade of $375, ,O00, ,000, expends 20 cents day on food and drink per capita, and Italy with $275 1000, ,00O of annual exports, spends IS cents day, in maco- roni, wine and other articles of diet.
 All of which convinces statisticians who have unearthed this notion of the relation of productiveness to diet that three meals day for each inhabitant" is the open door to world power in com merce, manufactures and the surplus products of fertile soil.

GnIiIeo and Urban VIII.

Galileo's wit got him into trouble when he put into the mouth of Sim plioio, the foolish opponent of the Copernican theory in his Dialogues. . an argument that Pope Urban VIII. had himself devised and insisted on Calico incorporating in the work. Calico made Simplicio quote it as an argument he had from very eminent and learned parsonage. The enemies of Calico persuaded Urban that he had been made game of, and this was the offense of which Calico was guilty. II was not for upholding the theory thai the sun stands still and the earth moves that Calico was tried by the inquisition Urban himself had supported thu Copernican doctrines, both as cardina and as pope.

--------- FOOTBALL ACCIDENT.
Emphasizes Fact That Only the Strongest and Physically Fit
 Should Be Allowed to Play.

So many accidents have been laid to the game of football and so many lads have been crippled thereby that we sel- dom hear of the injuries and deaths that might have been avoided The death of a young medical student of Baltimore during 8 contest, but at a time when the ball was not in play, says the New York Herald affords a striking instance of an easily prevent ible accident.
 The victim had been a sufferer from heart disease for a long time and yet was allowed to take active part in the game His condition should have been, if it was not, known to his med ica1 associates.
 There is no account of his having received any injury previous to the time he was stricken with collapse No better proof of his unfitness for any extra physical exertion can be given than the suddenness of his death while he was merely resting. The lesson of the sad story is emphatic and con- vincing.
 There is no game that requires more careful and systematic training than football and only the strongest are capable of bearing the strain If there is any physical weakness in the can didate it becomes quickly manifest as he goes on with his exercises, and why such incapacity could not have been discovered in time to have saved the unfortunate youth is difficult to imag- inc.
