Stgn. ar old Age

"Do you know the surcst indication of old age?" said physician the other day. The surest indications in man." he continued, ''are q moist eye a dry palm and shrinking of the calf of the leg. All the indications are due to some action of the nerves consequent upon advancing years In the matter of the eye the fifth section is interfered with. and it Is this that causes flow of water. The dryness of the palms Is caused by an interference with the functions of the body. also due to the action of the nerves, and the shrinkage of the leg follows from similar causes.
 ''In old age, too. you notice some men become more corpulent than in the ear ly portion of their lives. With drinking men the change is often produced by the quantity of saccharin which they consume with their drinks. and with those who do not drink it follows from other physiological changes. With wo- men the dimncss of the eye does not come so soon as it does in men"

"Robbins Peter Co Pay PauI.-'

''Robbine Peter to pay Paurr was first used when Westminster abbey was called St. Peters cathedral Money being needed to settle the accounts of St PauFs cathedral. 1t was taken by those in authority from St Peter's. quite to the dissatisfaction of the peo- pie, who asked. Why rob St Peter to pay St. PauIY' Over 2OO years after ward the saying was again used in re gard to the same churches at the death of the Earl of Chatham, the city of London declaring that so great a states man should be buried in St PauPs while parliament insisted that one so noble in every way would be more properly placed amid the-tlust of kings in Westminster abbey. and that not to bury him there would be for the second time ''rObbing St. Peter to pay St Paul" The abbey carried the day.

at that time he is the only one now living, and so was asked to speak on
 'The Semi Centennial !" He said that when he finished speaking fifty years ago, some one had promptly made a motion that the meeting adjourn for fifty years. This same privilege was granted him, so the meeting adjourn ed for that length of time.
 Soon after the dinner Colts band gave an open-air concert on the acad- emy grounds, and at 5.p. m. the meet ing of Linophilian society was held in the academy. A large number at- tended this meeting, and it was re- ported very interesting. In the even ing receptions to the former teachers and principals of the academy were held in the chapel and gymnasium. Principal Cummings and those associ- ated with him and since received in academy chapel, and Principal Dustan and those since received in the gym nasium. Many of the old alumni and some of the guests remained for the receptions, and a most enjoyable time took place. Quite a number took part in the dancing in the gym nasium, which was espeically enjoyed because of the splendid music. These receptions closed the program of the centennial, which was without any doubt the grandest celebration that ever took place here in Monson and in the history of the academy.
 Several of the classes held reunions at different times The class of 1901 enjoyed picnic at State Line Thurs day, and then had a reception and dance in the evening at the Country club house. Several guests were present and all enjoyed a very pleas ant evening. Before leaving the motion was made to have another re- union in five years, and Q committee of five elected to have charge of same.

SYSTEM OF TRACING LAW BREAKERS THAT
MIGHT BE ADOPTED IN THIS COUNTY

Alarmed at the numerous burglaries.
petty thieving and larceny of all kinds
that are continually being committed,
County Attorney Frank H. Noble. of
Hardin county, Iowa, has devised a
scheme to use the mutual telephones
which now abound all over the county
in every farmers home and which
form a perfect network of wire in
that section of the state. The plan
might be used with success in Rock
Island county. Mr.. Noble has just is
sued the following letter to the citi-
Zens of Hardin county:
Everyone who reads the newspa-
pers must have noticed the alarming
increase in the number of burglaries,
robberies and similar crimes. 1t is
only a question of a short time until
another instance of such depredatiOns
may be expected to occur in this cOun-
ty. A plan is here suggested which
may not only result in the capture of
the criminals, but also aid in securing
the return of the stolen property. The
plan is based simply upon the now al
most universal telephone system COW
ering Hardin county. When crime
is committed. in the daytime or night

time. in city or country, in any part
of the county, notify the sheriff at the
court house in Eldora; someone from
his Office or other county officers will
then start systematic search for the
criminals. One officer will remain in
the court house to receive reports on
the case and direct the search. The
duty of the officer at headquarters, as
it might be called. will be to keep the
criminals located during the night by
telephoning residents along the road
or street known to be taken by them;
residents will be told to eXtinguish all
lights, but to watch for the criminals,
describing them, and they will be re-
quested to report the direction the
criminals have gone from each house.
1t will not be necessary for the resi-
dents so notified to rashly attempt to
arrest or even stop the criminals, but
in this way their track will be follow
ed until daylight or until they reach
some railway station, when they may
be taken into custody. If the citizens
of the county will cooperate in this
system they will materially assist the
peace officers in preventing the es-
cape of criminals"

FISHING ON THE ILLINOIS RIVER.

The Illinois river. IL Is claimed, fur
nishes more fish than any other In the
United States. with the single excep-
ton Of the Columbia in Oregon. The
product Of the latter river Is largely
salmon. while the Illinois furnishes in
greater or less abundance fully so
kind Havana. in Mason county, Is the
largest market for fish there Is on the
Illinois river. and more is shipped
from that town, II is claimed, than
from any other place along the river.
Fully 100000 pounds Of fish will be
shipped from Havana during the year
of 1904.
Nearly or quite half Of the fish ship
ments consist Of German carp. Next
comes buffalo. then bull pouts. then
dog fish. then bass. then cat fish. then
croppies. then striped bass. then tur-
ties These are the principal varie-
ties that are shipped. but there are
some so sorts caught in this river.
a good many variety of fish never
attain an adult length of more than
five inches. These are commonly TAX
en- for the young OF other fishes. and
are referred to Unfortunately as
Another important factor is that at
least sixty fishes of the river Of Illinois
have no common names. and that such
names as bass. perch, stoneroller.
horney-head. grindle. stickelback. etc.
all have more than one application.
the same name being applied not in
frequently to very different fishes.
Up TO Nov. ! there were ship
ped from Havana 50 carloads of fresh
fish. Each car contains 5000 pounds
on an average. the car loads ranging
from 10000 TO g. 900 pounds each.
Fish are always packed in boxes hold
ing just $50 pounds From $50 to 200
OF these boxes constitute a car load.
These boxes are three feet and six
inches long by eighteen inches wide.
all being new. There is a factory at
Havana where these fish boxes are
made. which gives employment to
some fifteen men constantly. The
wholesale price OF these boxes Is 43
cents apiece and $4,000 are annually
made The cities of Pekin and Bath
both get their supply there as well as
Havana
Without ice there could be no ship
ping OF fish during the greater por-
ton of the year. Ice Is a very i'm
portant factor and immense quantities
are used during the spring. summer
and fall months Ice Is put up at Ha-
vana from near by ponds and from
Spoon river. Ice from the Illinois
river Is not made use OF. All fish are
packed in layers of broken ice. II re-
quiring four tons Just for the boxes In
one car. In addition to- this amount
seven tons are used In each car con-
ing fresh fish. making a total Of eleven
tons for each car. During the year
some 100 cars arc sent from Hava.a.
30 IL can easily be seen that the ice
trade there Is a big thing. About a
third as much more Is used for pack
ing the fish that go by express and
that are taken away by pcddlers
All coarser sorts of fsh are sent
by freight In car load lots. while the
choice kinds are shipped by express
In much smaller packages New
York city furnishes the greatest mar
for German carp. This hsh seems
To be n favorite article OF diet for the
poorer classes of many eastern cities
and large quantities are sent to Boston.

Afternoon Tea.

"High tea" is said to be Of American
origin. The earliest mention Of it, &C.
cording to DR.. Murray, goes no further
back than 1856. In fact, tea as an aft
ernoon meal Is not much older. 1t Is
thought to have originated in 1887 in
the house Of Nine. de Circourt, Rus
sian lady, whose salon in Paris was at
that time much frequented by the most
intellectual society Of the day. The
fashionable dinner hours were then
getting late, and she introduced 4
o'clock light meal, at which tea was
served. Fanny Kemble in Records Of
a Girlhood" attributes the introduce
ton Of the afternoon meal into this
country to the then Duchess Of Bed
ford. Fanny Kemble paid visit to
Belvoir castle in March, 1912, and she
relates how mysterious invitation was
received to the duchess private rooms,
where she found a small group Of
friends partaking of tea in private
and rather shamefaced way, and dates
the o'clock meal from this time. But
