WHISKEY vs. COFFEE.
A Woman Experiments.

Some families have sad experiences with
whiskey. Probably twice as many families
have sickness and distress caused by cot
fee and the cause not suspected half the
time. :..

wien he would die from the disease.
''He was dreadfully nervous. thin, could
not sleep at night, lost flesh and strength
daily, and everything he ate or drank
soured OIL his stomach. He was so weak
/ and faint he could hardly walk about.
~ finally came to the conclusion that
coffee made the mischief, SO took coffee
away from him altogether, and next NOR

steadily began to get better and has never
had sour stomach from that time He

The Minnesota Legislature.
MORLEY BILL SAVED.
J. Board u, Of Control Supporters Frus-
trate an Attempt to Kill
I'D the Measure. u
The Test Vote Showed sixty-four to
Forty-four in Favor Of
the Bill.
(For further legislative news see page 1s.


The Morley bill, removing the state
educational institutions from the juris-
dict1on- of the board of control, was again
the bone of contention in the house this
morning The matter came up on mo-
ton OF W. A. Nolan to take the bill from
the table, his purpose being to force
vote and encompass the measures de-
feat The move had not been expected
by friends Of the BILL but they were not
caught mapping, and the debate which
followed was the liveliest of the session.
In the end, the supporters of the bill
won out, defeating the motion by a. vote
of 81 nays to A yeas.
Mr. Morley secured the floor as soon as
Representative Nolan had made his mo-
tloh. lie Informed the house that he
should. like to see the motion voted down
and thought common courtesy demanded
that the author of a bill be permitted to
Jake II up at his own convenience He
also called attention to the passage by
| the senate yesterday of the Peachey bill,
measure Identical in character with his
own and suggested that the two should,
| IN fairness, be considered together
| Mr.. Rosenwald of Lac qui Parle an
nounced that the question presented by
the Dill appeared to him to involve the
| people on one hand and certain interests
on the other. He charged that a com
olnatlon had been made between the
| arenas OF the various institutions involved
TO secure the measures passage.
| This statement brought Lawrence H.
Johnson to his feet with rush. Mr..
Johnson opened his remarks by stating
that he had formerly given. the gentle
man from Lac qui Pare credit for fair
ness and common honesty, but added that
ne wanted to stamp as false-unqua1i-
hedly false-the statement that he had
entered into any combination whatever.
Mr. Rosenwald did not reply, but Mr.
Morley again secured the floor and re-
newed his suggestion that both the
Peachey bill and his own. measure be
made special order for next Thursday.
Or: Dorsey at once blocked this plan by
raising the point Of order that the
Peachey bill was not officially before the
mouse. Later Mr.. Shearer put the sug-
gestion In the form of a motion, but the
cnalr. ruled 1t out: Mr.. Armstrong then
cut off further debate by calling for the
previous question. The roll call on the
motion to take from the table follows:

THE DEFENSE OF CANADA,

London, March 6.-COlonel Ktson, formerly
British military attache at Washington and now
commandant Of the Sandhurst military college,
said:
1.-The Canadians would enter campaign I'M
der the greatest strategical disadvantages. You
will be luciy in upper Canada if you have any
ammunition. The American regular army on
the frontier would be ready to raid your lines
Of communication which lie along the frontier.
Your only arsenal is at Quebec. at the end of
the line. Without better organization, and
without another arsenal in the interior, you will
never be safe from raids"
Lord Strathcona said that the Canadians were

with their lives. Another arsenal being
built at Ottawa, which was at some distance

Our Birth Rate.

A New England scientist has lately
published some suggestive conclusions
ON the subject of the birth-rate III
America. Looking backward to the
time of Benjamin Franklin he discov-
ers that the average number OF chill
dren to a family was then eight; a
century later it had declined to 81: in
1890 it was 4.6; in 1850. 3.33: in 49,
2.H5: in 1900, 1S. The biTth-rate
throughout the entire civilized World'
according to one authority. is steadily
decreasing. rapidly in the New World
more slowly in the Old-truly an alarm
ing condition of things, for which we
are offered the following explanation:
Family shrinkage seems clearly re-
forable to the strenuous nerve-racklnS
life of the day, to the struggle not TOT
existepce, but for luxurious exist
ence. to the ever-increasing desire Tor
the Injuries of life and the morbid
craving for social designations and ad-
yancement 1t is due to the desire TO
have no children, or only such num-
Der as husband and wife believe suit
able and adapted to their ideals or
comfort and their supposed financial
possibilities. "-Harper'S Weekly.

Rock DOfics Natures Law.

One of the most curious of natures
freaks is the Devils Tea Table, the
noted landmark Of the Muskingum
valley. three miles from McCOnnells-
vile. Ohio. 1t stands upright on its
slender base on the top Of steep
hill.
For years it has been watched with
great anxiety by the people living in
the valley below. but it still stands
firm, resisting wind and rain.
The huge rock is only four by seven
teen feet ut the base, while the top
measures twenty by thirty-three feet.
Scientists claim that the curious for
nation is caused by Il process of ma
ture which must sooner or later cause
its fall The upper part Of the rock
is of sandstone, and the lower part Of
shale Frost and dampness have dis
integratcd the shale. while the sand
stone sturdily resists the elements.
Only little more shale can be spared
before the great rock must fall, and it
hangs Like the sword of Damocles over
the Inhabitants Of the valley.-Phila-

The Bureau of Forestry.

1t is interesting to note the evolution
OF what was formerly the Division, but
now the Bureau Of Forestry. The work
has enlarged its scope immensely III
the last few years. until now it emf
braces much wider area of interests
than one would suppose belonged to
the noble science Of forestry.
Besides the work expected to come
from it as matter OF course, such
as the conserving OF national parks
and government timber lands, there are
a host of other specialized branches OF
this interesting profession. 1t in
Guides the chemical investigation OF
tanning extracts from native woods
and banks; the production OF turpentlne
by "orcharding," new system which
bids fair to revolutionize the whole in
dustry pertaining to that household
remedy; then there are the testing and
classification of timber in regard to
strength and durability; the best way to
stop sand drifting by tree planting
and many others of a similar nature.
The report OF the Forester for 1902
is particularly encouraging in one point
that which records in brief the chang
ing attitude OF private owners OF large
forest reserves. They are coming
more each year to look to the Bureau
for advice on the management OF their
property. This is given free by Uncle
Sam on condition that the owner pay
the bare expenses of an expedition to
the forests to be looked over and adj
vised upon. The owners are often quite
willing to do this, for it means a more
profitable management OF their wood
iands-and money is a most eloquent
persuader.
