Heroes and Heroes.

We give unstinted praise to the man
Who is brave enough to die,
But the man who struggles unflinchingly
Against the currents of destiny
And bears the>storm Of adversely
We pass unnoticed by
We've plaudits and tears for him who
falls,
Borne down in the shock of strife
But a word of cheer we neglect to say
To him who plods on his dreary way
And lights in silence from day to day
The unseen battles of life.
There's courage, 1 grant. required to face
Grim death on the CORY field;
There's also courage required to meet
Lies burden and sorrow. to brave defeat.
To strive with evil and not retreat,
To suffer and not to yield.
Some moments are there in every life
When the spirit longs for rest,
When the heart is filled with bleak de-
spar.
When the weight of trouble remorse and
care
Seems really greater than we can bear
And death were welcome guest.
But we crush 1t down and we go our way
To the duties that lie in watt
From day to day we renew the fight.
To resist the wrong and to seek the right,
To climb at last to the sun crowned height
And to climb DER time and fate
And thus-for my heart goes out to them
My need of praise l would give
To those who struggle life's path along.
The host of toll. who are patient. strong.
The unrewarded. unnumbered throng
Who are brave enough to live.

which has grown with the lapse of
time until today their Importance is
universally recognized. This man. Py
thagoras. numbered among his dsci-
pies such men of genius as Socratc

The First Health Community.
Pythagoras. this greatest of GreciaE
philosophers. established a health col
Ony which he called Crotona. There
he gathered about him hundreds of dis
clples to whom he taught the simple
rules of life which he himself followed.
These comprised abstinence from all
unwholesome foods, especially meats,
for Pythagoras considered the slaugh-
ter of animals as sacrilcge. There We're
no slaughter houses or butcher shops
in Crotona. No rUasts. sp.se:1i%, beet
steaks or cOrpSeS of any kind ever ay
feared upon the table of a I'ythagorian.
Temperance In all things, an active,
out of door life, simple dress, purity
and uprightness In conduct were strict
ly enjoined by this prophet Of a new
truth, for the dccadence of Greece had
rlready begun. Unfortunately the doc

Plutarch, the famous biographer;

OUR INSTINCT TO CHEW.
It Manifests Itself In Numerous and
Curious Ways.


Seeing that the maXillary apparatus
of man has for long ages past been put
to vigorous use, it is not surprising that
the need to exercise it should express
itself as a powerful instinct. This in
stinct manifests itself in many and
curious ways. During the early months
of life the natural function of feeding
at the breast provides the infants
jaws, tongue and lips with all the need
ful exercise. This bottle feeding fails
to do, and we frequently find bottle fed
children seeking to satisfy the natural
instinct by sucking their thumbs, fin
gers or any convenient object at hand.
The teeth are a provision for biting
hard foods, but even before they actu-
ally appear we find the child seeking
to exercise his toothleSS gums ON any
hard substance he can lay hold Of, and
there can be no doubt that exercise Of
this kind tends to facilitate the erup-
tion of the teeth, truth indeed recog-
nized universally, whether by the prim-
tive mother who strings the tooth Of
some wild animal round the neck Of
her infant or the up to date parent
who provides her child with bejewel-
ed ivory or coral bauble.
When the teeth have erupted, the
masticatory instinct finds among primi-
tive peoples abundant satisfaction In
the chewing of the coarse, hard foods
which constitute their dietary; but
among us moderns, subsistlng, as we
do, mainly on soft foods, affording but
little exercise for the masticatory ap-
paratus, 1t does not find it's proper ex-
preston, and thus tends to die out.
Nevertheless 1T dies a hard death and
long continues to assert itself. Witness
the tendency of children to bite their
pencils and penholders. l have known
a child to gnaw through a bone pen
holder much in the same way as q
carnivOrous animal gnaws at bone.
This instinct to chew for chewings
sake manifests itself all over the world.
In our own country not only do chill
dren bite pencils and penhOlders, but
they will chew small pieces of india
rubber for hours together. The prac-
tice of gum chewing, so common among
our American cousins, evidently comes
down from farof times, for the primi-
tive Australians chew several kinds Of
gum, attributing to them nutrient
qualities, and the Patagonians are said
to keep their teeth white and clean by
chewing matri, gum which exudes
from the incense bush.-Lancet.

The first record concerning mirrors
dates back to the days of the venerable
Moses, and they were made of brass.
When the Spaniards landed in South
America they found mirrors of polished
black stone in use among the natives.
In the fifteenth century the first glass
mirrors were made in Germany by
blowpipe, and were convex. The first
manufactory of glass mirrors for sale
was established in Venice early in the
sixteenth century. In the reign Of
James l. men, women and children
wore looking glasses publicly, the men
as brooches or ornaments in their hats
and the women at their girdles or on
their bosoms.

The Battle Creek Idea" is not fad
nor mushroom growth. 1t is scien-
tific system which traces the main roots
of its origin far back into the cen

of tireleSs workers and thinkers who
have garuCrcd the choicest fruits of
generations of experience and have
collatcd the results of centuries of
scientific research.

CHINESE PROVERBS.

If the roots be left, the grass will
grow again.
One lash to good horse; one word
to wise man.
The gods cannot help a man who
loses opportunities.
Riches come better after poverty
than poverty after riches.
Dig we'll before you are thirty. Be
prepared for contingencies.
The error of one moment becomes
the sorrow of whole lifetime.
Borrowed money makes time short;
working for others makes it long.
The gem cannot be polished without
friction nor the man perfected without
trials.
Large fowls will not eat small grain.
Great mandarlns are not content with
little bribes.
A wise man adapts himself to cir
cumstances as water shapes itself to
the vessel that contains it.
The best thing is to be respected and
the next is to be loved. 1t is bad to be
hated, but worse still to be despised.

Found Two Skeletons.

Otto Huwe, who resides near Bristol,
has received a deed to one Of the
finest farms in this part of the state.
This in itself would be of no particu-
lar interest, but the land was paid for
as the result of a curious and unique
contract.
About six years ago Huwe entered
into d contract with Samuel Earring
ton Of Bristol for the purchase of the
farm. The terms agreed upon were
that he should pay down the sum Of
$500 in cash, and that as soon as he
had delivered at a Bristol elevator to
the credit of harrington an aggregate
of 4,400 bushels of wheat he should be
given a deed to the land. Harrington
took his chances on the market price
OF the grain.
One-half of the wheat crop raised on
the farm each year was to be deliv-
cred to harrington until the last BUSH
ell Of the amount in the contract was
delivered.
A few days ago Huwe turned over
1900 bushels Of wheat, half Of what
he raised this year. This made up the
total Of 400 bushels, and he Is now
the possessor Of the farm.

TRAPPED IN r
One Man and Many Horses Lost in a
Blaze at Aberdeen.

One man, thirteen horses and one
cow were burned, and twenty persons
had a narrow escape from death early
one morning recently at Aberdeen in a
fire which destroyed the Atlantic house
and the boarding stable of James Jen-
kins. 1t is not known how the fire
started.
The hotel guests were aroused quick
ly and the scramble for places of safe
ty reached the proportions of a small
panic. The majority fled in their
night robes. Several remained behind
to gather their belongings, but the
smoke and heat drove them from the
building in the scantiest of attire.
Matt Jenkins, a stable employee, slept
over the stable. In the excitement he
was overlooked and his charred re-
mains were found in the smoking ru-
ms. 1t is thought that wnlle trying to
tioor and was too badly hurt to make
his way out unassisted.
Among the horses burned were Joe
Bush, the PAGER, record 2:16A, and
stranger and Dan ". valuable Ham
bletonian stations. Joe Bush made a
circuit Of Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota and Iowa this summer,
and carried off many prizes.
Jewett Brothers, wholesale grocers,
saved a valuable draft team, the only
animals taken from the stable.
The stable was owned by Charles
Bremen and was partly insured. Jen-
kins carried 40 insurance. The hotel,
Nels Sunden proprietor, is also a total
loss.
