AN ANOMALY IN NATURE.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Recently woman from nearby To-
cality brought very young female
child to the city to be examined by a
physician because of an unnatural, or at
least unusual condition. The child was
born with a fully developed breast on one
side, from which The milk flowed as
from the mothers breast. Such mani
festation of the peculiar work of ma
ture has not been reported at least in
recent experience of the medical profes-
sion. and such an anomaly in nature
should not go unnoticed 1t is at least
something of Importance to physicians,
and report of the case should be made
to the State Medical society, where it no
doubt would be received and discussed
with much interest-New Ulm News.

az nothing will broaden your Judgment
as the learning which Jesus Christ will
be able to give you. But l want you
to notice that these things of which |
have been speaking are only passing.
These are the times of social success and
political improvement but over and above
all there is always the knowledge of the
supreme value of the spiritual in life.
Why should He not cali upon us to re-
ceive into our minds the spiritual things
which are eternal things and make us
take our place in this universe of God
Throughout the ages of eternity. There
are things that | would bring to you
tonight. Il have come that they might
have life and that they might have it
more abundantly."
Oh, friends, these are the things that
| God wants of YOU. 1t is most to be
treasured of all things and | want you
to notice that word Astounding" How it
echoes. 1t is to this Astounding life that
God calls us to His text.
And now, members of the graduating
class, have only a few words to speak
to you in conclusion. AS you 60 forth in
| to the world where man numbers his
| achievements according to the great for
tunes he has accumulated, you will be
| mislead by tempters to believe this is the
great thing in life The lesson to these
| words is that you may have entrance
into all the great vocations of life, all
the length of days, all the tender words
all the kindly cares of life and the teach
ing of the great schoolmaster of life, Jesus
| Christ of Nazareth-"I have come that
they might have life and that they might
have it more abundantly."
| After the sermon the choir rendered
another very enjoyable and appreciated
| selection after which Rev. Dr. Herrick of
fered up very fervent and hearty
prayer, the benediction was pronounced
and the services closed.

Oil on RoadWays,

The Milwaukee Wisconsin calls atten.
ton to the time when the use of grease
on roads was limited to the skids that
form the ways on which ships slip from
the yard where they are built into the
water. In this progressive age, oil is
used on wagon roads for the purpose of
laying the dust, which it does by form
ing crust that last a whole season
The oil employed for this purpose is
mineral oil. 1t is greatly superior to
water, which evaporates in few hours.
James w. Abbott, special agent of the
Agricultural Department of the United
States for the Rocky Mountain and Pa
cific Coast division, has prepared a re-
port for the Forthcoming issue of the
Departments Year Book, in which he
says that many Of these who have had
most experience with oil have come to
regard its use in q dry region as the
most important discovery ever made in
road making. People have said to him:
Eve could not 90 back to the old condi-
tions; if we had to give up our oiled
roads we would move away" Mr.. Alb
bott thinks that oil can be used to adj
vantage at any place in the United States
where the roads become very dry and
dusty, and where water can be kept out
of their foundations in the winter, so
that they will remain firm and not give
way beneath the oiled surface in the
spring. The reliance, he says, must be
upon oil with an asphalt base 1t might
be worth while to experiment. with oil for
laying the dust upon Milwaukee's ma
cadam streets. A. large part of the wa
ter thrown upon a curved road surface
runs off into the cutters, and what
Is left evaporates so rapidly under
hot sun that the dust on windy
day often begins to fly within thirty min
utes after the sprinkling cart has passed.
Mineral oil, of course, is not so cheap
here as in California; but the crudest
kind would be good enough, and little
would go long way.

Governor A. B. White of West Vir-
ginia, spoke at bankers banquet at
Parkersburg night or two since and in
the face of Kisses he told the gentlemen
of the financial institutions that they
were 'tax-dodgers" and stated to them
in no uncertain tones that they had sent
a lobby to the legislature to oppose the
passage of the tax commissioners report
which among other things increased the
tax on banks. The Kisses did not stop
the governor from telling the bankers a
few plain truths and every time they
Kissed he grew more earnest, and spoke
his piece in plain Anglo-Saxon. The
governor of West Virginia does not lack
for nerve.

Weather and Crime.

Does the condition of the weather have
to do with crime? This question Is
answered by the official observer of the
climatic changes at La Crosse. MIR.
Grant, by name. Mr.. Grant declares that
this springs weather is responsible to
large extent for the epidemic of crime
which has prevailed in the vicinity OF
La Crosse during the several weeks past
There have been four murders committed
within fifty miles of that city within
short time. Mr. Grant gives his deduc-
lions and they arc interesting whether
them lightly. Mr.. Grant says there is no
doubt in his mind that the weather con-
ditions which have prevailed during the
past few weeks have been largely instru-
mental in bringing into action those
qualities of mind which have in some
instances, resulted in murder and suicide.
In my opinion the murderer selects the
dark and stormy night for his deed not
SO much to conceal his crime but be-
cause at such time his inclination to
perpetuate it is strongest.
.'While located in Pittsbury, some
years ago, the opportunity to investl-
gate the relation existing between storm
periods and deeds OF violence, murder
amid suicide and deaths from heart fail
ure was afforded. An examination of the
criminal and morgue records covering a
long period was made and the date of the
events compared with the near approach
or presence of a storm showed a remark
able coincidence. After the passage of
the storm. the criminal records cleared
with the skies.
"The advent of storm means the
presence to two conditions decidedly I'M
pleasant TO the human family, reduc-
ton of atmospheric pressure or weight
and an increase of moisture in the at
mosphere. To one or the other of these
are due many of the ills that flesh is
heir to, among which are increased lassi-
tUde. inability to perform labor of any
sort with ease a condition in some not
chargeable to atmospheric phenomena,
aching corns, rheumatism, and most i'm
portant, a general feeling Of irritability.
1t is on days of high pressure and high
humidity that one is inclined to find
fault with his dinner, principally because
he has very little appetite on such day,
and his wife, influenced by the same at
mosphere, is willing to argue the case
on its merits
Seriously, however, it is on such days
that the qualities of amiability, forbear
ance and love seem to take to themselves
wings, leaving behind those characters
tees of the brute. If the ordinary re-
spectacle man, under such circumstances
could be induced to quarrel with his
wife or kick the dog, would not the vi
cious depraved be more easily induced to
commit acts of violence, the depressed to
suicide, or the invalid to pass away when
bracing qualities of the atmosphere are
wanting.
"The facts are that for the past few
weeks high pressure and high humidity
have prevailed in this section and the
newspapers have presented daily bull
letin of crime
