SCHOOL PHYSIOLOGIES.
They Should Teach q Child How to
Preserve Health.

American Medicine.
The makers and supporters Of the school
textbooks on so-called physiology have
made many blunders in their well-meaning
attempts. but there Is none so fundamental
and so absurd as that OF failing TO see that
the young should be taught how 10 main
tain or get health instead OF how to avoid
disease. No reform or progress can amount
to anything that is built upon a negation.
No anti movement accomplishes an end OF
any value. In language two negatives are
said TO be equal to affirmative, but our
habitual speech ignores the absurdity, and
in morals and social life, two negatives IN
collision are wholly resultless. A physiol-
ogy that devotes itself 10 pathology Is
ridiculous. and is itself pathologic. II is a
misnomer at best. and beyond question Is
not sanitation and hygiene adapted to the
child mind. These subjects should be
treated from the positive standpoint for the
young and the love OF health, play phys
ical perfection and strength should be en-
couraged and illustrated, not the avoidance
of morbidity. OF all the outrageous things
possible TO be inserted in a school physi-
ology, the illustration OF the end-products
of disease and sin. hob-nailed liver, ETC..
are the worst conceivable.

n. ?. IN A NEW LINE
Are Now Handling Through Ship
ments of Fir Timber.
FROM TACOMA TO CLEVELAND.
Road Likely to Handle All Their Through
Lumber shipments From This Point
in Future. --Consignment is Turned
Over to the Hin Line Boats.

The first shipment of fir timber
from Tacoma, Washington, over the
Northern Pacific railroad, to this
point, bound east, has been received
IN this city. The shipment was made
by the Mccormack Lumber Com
pany to the Mills-Gray Carleton
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, and
came direct to this point. From here
it will be shipped by steamer to its
destination. This is the first through
shipment made over the line by this
railroad, and it is worth while to note
that the original shipment was to
have been made through Ashland,
but that the billing was changed, and
that hereafter the lumber shipments
OF fir and other big western timber
will likely be handled through this
city. The extent of the shipments
now being made are not known, ard
are really not important only mas
much as it goes to show that this class
of the Northern Pacific business will
likely be handled through this port in
future. The boat shipment is being
handled through an arrangement with
the Edward Hines Lumber Company.
The Northern Pacific have the most
modern methods for handling lumber
shipments here.

Judgment for the Plaintiff.

La the Bayfield, fish offal case tried
before Justice of the Peace, L. N.
Clausen last week, judgment was
rendered in favor OF the plaintiff
Cnarles Hendricks, against John
Egan, defendant, last Saturday
morning, in the sum of 500 and costs
amounting in all to about $35. The
case was tried for all there was in it
Oy John Walsh for the plaintiff and
w. Il. Shea for the defendant.
About a half dozen witnesses were
examined on both sides. 1t was
contended that 5000 barrels of fish
otfal were dumped onto three-fourths
OF an 9cre of land belonging to the
plaintiff, and testimony was pro
duced tending to prove that this
ruined the land as we'll as other
testimony going to show that the
land was greatly enriched by it..
One witness ventured in an off hand
way TO say that lard SO richly fertil-
lied ought to be able to produce two
pound straw berries. but this did not
seem to be considered seriously.
The town of Bayfield, was obliged to
cover. the land with dirt to keep
down the smell. Other parties
also used the Hendricks land for the
same purpose and it is not at all inn
probable that more litigation will
follow.

Thousands of people now mourn
the lost opportunity OF Bell Tele-
phone investments. Scarce a man
lives who does not know some one
that was made rich by a small in
vestment in telephone stock. Now
new opportunity is offered to those
who are forehanded enough to grasp
it in the Marconi Wireless Telegraph
securities. When Marconigrams fill
the air, flying back and forth over
ocean, between continents, over
mountains, rivers and plains, it will
too late, and another opportunity
will have passed. The finarcial re
presentives of the Marconi Wireless

Messrs. Munroe & Munroe, of A go

state that the demand for the
$50 certificates of the company's
stock, which they are selling at $500
is so great that the limited amount
at their disposal will soon be ex-
hausted When these are gone the
price will necessarily be advan ced,

compelled to pay higher price for
them.

Thist1es Galore.

The recurrence of thistleS and nox-
louSweedS in larger quantities this year
than have ever been known, is no
doubt due to proper lack of attention
by authorities of past years. Atthe
present time the town has man en-
ployed cutting them down. The
work is one that should be energetical-
ly followed up. as there is hardly a
vacant lot, and many of the occupied
ones too, or street or crossing that
have not had thistleS growing upon
them this year. 1t has been suggest
ed that the mere act of cutting down
the thistles is not very effective, and
that the town should go still farther
and kill them out. This can be done
by the use of salt andother substances
upon the spots where the weeds grow.
