Definition Of . Skeleton

Children often have Ideas that are
correct enough In themselves. but their
lack Of language with which to express
those ideas sometimes causes a laugh.
Some days ago two lit'l. fellows of
seven and eight years heard older peo-
pie speaking Of skeletons. The seven
yrar-oid boy listened ini"n,ly TO the
conversation. when the elder boy. with
an air of superior knowledge. said alb

"You don't know wha, a skeleton is.

THE PACE THAT KILLS.
American People injured by Too Much
Excitement.


The New Haven physician, who, in a
recent address before the American
Therapeutic Society ascribed the weak
ness of the heart and the circulatory
system. now SO common among certain
classes OF men and women, to the high
tension of modern life, was doubtless
well within the truth. We keep up a
fast pace everywhere. In our Efforts to
keep in the swim Of business and So
ciety, guaging everything by the clock
and rushing from one appointment 10
another at literally electric speed. III
we are actually sick" said this physi-
elan, unless we are seriously III. we
fight and wrestle with the disease.
whatever It may he. instead OF calmly
giving up and allowing the disease to
be temporarily master of ceremonies" !"
And even our children declared the
same speaker, ARE early infected with
this feverish. headlong haste to do
something. They see too much. do too
much. are amused too much. compete
In school too much. are taught too
much, are awake too much for the well
fare of their nervous systems"
All this or something very much like
Il has been often said before. but tho
warning needs repetition. and perhaps.
by and by, some VIII hear and heed be-
fore Il is too late. With all our many
and eyer-increasing applications of
electricity. We need to remember that
the laws OF the human organism re-
main the same. and the human ma
chine cannot be run on the electric mo-
tor plan. A great deal Of the strenu-
osity displayed In modern life IL totally
unnecessary. Quite as much could he

things more moderately. - Leslle's

NO EXTRA sEssloN.

Should the Governor decide to call
the Legislature in extraordinary ses-
sion to consider the matter Of an ex-
hibit at the ST. Louis Fair, he would
be Indirectly charging the Legislature
with ineompetency. II has been only a
few weeks since the Legislature adj
tourned and this very matter was be-
fore 1t for consideration. No provision
for an exhibit was made, not be-
cause of an oversight, but presumably
because the members didn't think il
wise 10 vote any money for that pur-
pose. To call the members in extra
ordinary session would mean that they
were expected TO revise their decision,
and this would certainly not be a COM
pliment to them.
The fact Of the matter is that Della
ware doesn't want to make an exhibit
unless il can be done properly. That
would cost a great deal, and It is doubt
full whether any substantial benefit
would follow. We understand that the
demand comes from the fruit growers,
but when we think of the perishable
nature Of that kind of an exhibit and
the distance It would have to be trans
ported. It doesn't seem to be advisable
to make the attempt. It would not be
surprising IL back Of this project is a
desire to give several persons a chance
to see the Exposition while they are
drawing fine salaries. If there Is
purpose to make an exhibit Of all Della
ware industries and to do it right we
shall interpose no objection. But thai
would require an appropriation Of a
least $4,000.

coRRuPr LITTLE STATES.

Bishop McVickar. of Rhode Island
does not think that the church should
remain silent in the face of widespread
political corruption. Evidently he does
not think that you can divide questions
Affecting the integrity Of the masses
into political and moral questions. From
bis remarks before the convention of his
diocese we gather than he thinks that
these matters have both a political and
a moral side and that with the latter
it is the duty Of the church to deal. DIR.

words shows that ne is not man to
