losses compare even more favor
ably with those of other Fourths.
If it were possible to learn the
number of people who took actual
part in the celebrations, it would
be shown that the proportion OF
casualties this year were compar-
atively small. Figures for the last
ten years in the first group OF
American cities, show an average
of more than one hundred deaths
each year. The number of injur-
les average about six times great
err than this, while the fire losses
annually exceed 100000. There
is food for thought in this data,
and the fact that this year has
fallen so far short of the average
is an indication that the precau-
tionary measures taken by the
cities throughout the country
were effective. Since the first
Fourth of July of them all, the
Nations birthday has been well
coined with uproar, and it proba-

The reports from various Sec
tons of the country indicate that
the one hundred and twenty
eighth anniversary of American
independence was celebrated with
less excess than has been the GUS
tom for many years past. The
reports thus far are of the most
commendable nature, and it is
very evident that new concep-
ton Of the day is coming to the
people of the United States, or,
that 1904 was simply an off year
for a desire to make the eagle
scream without thought for the
consequences to life and property.
In either event, the last Fourth
was notable to a degree. In this
city not a single accident occurr-

Accurate statistics are natur-
ally not to be had concerning the
results of the Fourth of July in
the matter of accidents through
out the country. Figures are at
hand, however, to show that the
outright fatalities from the reck-
less use of explosives are just
about half as many as they were
the year previous. The number
of permanent injuries show a

SAFE DIET RULE.
Eat the Smallest Amount of Food Es-
 sential to Preserve Health.

q
 How shall one determine, then, how much food to eat? Too much mystery has been thrown about this subject. Let your sensations decide. It must be kept in mind that the entire func- tion of digestion and assimilation is carried on without conscious supervis- ion or concurrence. It should be en- tirely unfelt and unknown, says the Century, except by the feeling of bien- etre which accompanies and follows its normal accomplishment. Satiety is bad. It implies a sensation of full Isess in the region of the stomach and that means that too much food has been taken. The exact correspondence in a healthy animal, between the ap- petite and the amount of food required is extraordinary. As a rule, the meal, unless eaten very slowly, should cone before the appetite is entirely satisfied, because little time is required for the outlying organs and tissues to feel the effects of the food that has been digested. If too little has been taken  it is easy enough to make it up at the next meal, and the appetite will be only the better and the food more grateful.
 No one was ever sorry for having voluntarily eaten too little, while mill ions every day repent having eaten too much. It has been said that the great lesson homeopathy taught the world was this: That whereas physi- clans had been in the habit of giving the patient the largest dose he could stand, they have been led to see that their purpose was better subserved by giving him the smallest dose that would produce the desired effect. And so it is with food. Instead of eating, as most people unfortunately do, as much as they can, they should eat the smallest amount that will keep them in good health.

 "Thet sop responded Hiram, with show of interest, as he began to re. arrange sundry articles of perfumery, soap, candy and other things dear to the feminine mind. The hackman watched him.

 "Mebbe and mebbe not" replied Hi- ram, going on with his work. "But my experience is you can't tell much about them New York girls. They'll be down here sleighin' to-day with the Taylor girls, sure's eggs. Them city girls can't help shoppin' any more'n they can help breathin'. They see so many fine things in their big stores that they must buy whether they want anything or not, and sometimes whether they have any money with 'em or not. City storekeepers ain't above trustin' an honest face, any more'n am. Them girls get in the habit of shoppin', and they can't break it, even when they came to Crossroads.

Ventrilouuial Birds.

M. Emile Merwart, Secretary-Gener al of French Guiana, has sent to the Jardin des Plants, in Paris, two pairs of ventriloquial fowls. These birds the "Temps" say, are greatly amusing to visitors to the gardens. who assem- ble around their cage by their cries which at once time appear to come from the trees, at others from the sky, and sometimes from the midst of the crowd itself. The flesh of the birds is said to be more savory than that of pheasants or the finest guinea fowls, and their eggs are in great favor among American epicures. The Elm press Josephine tried to acclimatize the species in the Malmaison aviary, but without success.

How Eggs Are selfBoilod.

There are some things new under the sun in these days, although in some cases one does not encounter them on the dry land. Nowhere is one more liable to encounter oddities of kitchen economy than on the big ocean liners, the cooks, pursers and stewards of which have been busy for the last sixty years devising arrangements for the convenience of their work.
 Perhaps the most astonishing culin- ary outfit Is that in the kitchen of the White Star line steamship Oceanic, which, in a circular issued recently for the benefit of American patrons, one of its paid writers takes some pains in describing. The cooking, so the circular states, is done by electricity, so that there is absolutely none of the fumes and odors of wood. coal, petro. leum or gas clinging to the food when 1t is served. The little electric stoves are arranged in rows, somewhat re- sembling typewriter keyboard, and each stove cooks a certain vegetable, meat, fish, soup, dessert or what not. But the oldest thing of all is the ar engagement for boiling eggs, speaking of which the circular states: "On an- other side were electric egg cookers, which by an ingenious mechanism au- tomatically pushed the eggs out of the water as soon as they were boiled." This is without doubt the most up-to- date wrinkle in cooking eggs, and the proprietors of some of the restaurants would do well to order a gross at once.

The Boy on tte Farm.

If man has boy he should give him such treatment IS will keep him on the farm. When ] boy does a good days work. at anything he should have some recognition il some way. It is not always a good plan to enforce legal claims on a boys services as we do the horse or as OUT Southern neighbors once did the sloves they owned. It will not do to deny the boy an oppor- tunity of an education for the sake of advancing the farm work. The ignor- ant man is going to be placed at dis advantage in the next generation. One reason why some boys leave the farm is because they are not fully appre- ciated by selfish and avaricious pa rents.

How to Sleep,

It is not uncommon to hear people say q was too tired to slecp"-but it is not generally known how great help it is at such times not to try to sleep, but to go to work deliberately to get rested in preparation for it. In nine cases out of ten it Is the unwill. ingness to lie awake that keeps us awake. We toss and turn and wish we could sleep. We fret, and fume, and worry, because we do not sleep. We think of all we have to do on the fol- lowing day and are oppressed with the thought that we cannot do it if we do not sleep. First, we try one expert. ment to see if it will not make us sleep, and when it fails, we try another and perhaps another. In each eXperl- ment we are watching to see if it will work. There are many things to do, any one of which might help us to sleep, but the watching to see if they will work keeps us awake.
 When we are kept awake from our fatigue, the first thing to do is to say over and over to ourselves that we do not care whether we sleep or not, in order to imbue ourselves with a healthy indifference about it. It will help toward gaining this wholesome in. difference to say T am too tired to- sleep, and therefore, the first thing for me to do is to get rested in order to prepare for sleep. When my brain is well rested, it will go to sleep; it cannot help it. When it is well rested, it will sleep just as naturally as my lungs breathe, or as my heart beats."-Les- lies Monthly.

RUssIA's GREAT NAVAL BASE
vladivostock Upon Which the Czar
 Has Expended Large Sums


 Has Expended Large Sums
 Vladivostock, Russla's chief naval and military base in the far east, was founded thirty-five years ago. Within the last decade vast sums were spent to transform the simple fishing village into the fortified. command of the east" Many forts were built, and in 1S99-1900 1t contained garrison of 2S,0O0. In process of construction or completed are three docks, at total cost of about 6O,OOO,000 rubles; a wharf two and one-half miles long, and extensive barracks. Until recently there was difficulty in the harbor being icebound from December till April. But now icebreaking machines are used to keep the port clear. Ice, in fact, seems to play part in the strategy of defense and offense. It is possible for the Russian fleet to make sortie on the enemy's country, return to Vladivostock, and let the ice freeze round them fast, so that the little brown men cannot get at them.
 A magnificent sight greets the ap- preaching traveller to Vladivostock. Around the shining blue roadstead, large enough to contain dozen na- vies, rise the green hills to height of 800 feet; along the crests appear the white parapets of forts, and below struggles the red-roofed town for near ly five miles. All this lies on the south side of a peninsula called MarSvief- Anursky, score of miles in length. Two narrow passages, divided by Dun das Island, give entrance to the har- bor, which bends north half a mile, and then turns to the east about one mile.
 There is a great variety of dwellings ranging from the mujik's log hut to the coolie's home of mud and the pala- tial German residence with electric lights.
 Of public buildings there are two hospitals, military and naval clubs, a boys seminary, an institute for girls, and a museum. The governors resi- dence is surrounded by public gar den where the band plays national mu- sic in summer. At that season cool ing drinks are needed as well as mu- sic, for the thermometer reaches 100 degrees Fahrenheit. There are sev- eral hotels, of which the best have billiard rooms. The Lutheran Church and other denominations are repre- scented.

AN EARTHLY TRINITY.
Health and Wealth Ought to Be Linked
 with Happiness.

with Happiness.
 We are used to feel, to put itcrudely, that folks who have health and money ought to be happy. And so they should. A sufficient income promotes comfort and that contributes to cheerfulness of spirit and to have health, of course, means to feel well, and that is long step toward feeling good. But how far do we have to look to find persons with health to squander and more money than they know how to spend making strenuous efforts to attain happiness and merely achieving impaired health? If you have health and money you can usually buy pleasure, but enjoyment is different article, and even when you have got enjoyment happiness may still elude you. Pleasure pals and sometimes demoralizcs; enjoyment cas- fly yields to weariness, but you don't get tired of being happy, and you may be ever so tired and be happy still.
 Happiness is a state of satisfaction. One reason why it is so elusive may be because we human creatures are a complication of body, mind and spirit, and require for our complete satisfac- ton particularly nice adjustment of blessings and of conduct. If we in. dulge the body too much the other two partners become mutinous; if we over cultivate the mind the body may break down, and if we bestow all our atten- ton on mind and body, the spirit, ig- nored, takes a sure vengeance on us for our neglect. It Is so difficult so to measure and direct our efforts as to appease all the demands of our tripli- cate natures that the simpler way is to regard happiness as a byproduct give over all direct attempts to acquire constant supply of it and simply ac- cept however much of 1t may come while we go about our business with such intelligence as we can. We can usually keep our bodies in fair repair if we are not too lazy or too self-indul- gent. If we have to earn our livings our minds and bodies, too, find occupa- ton that is usually wholesome, and the discipline of work done, as it usu- ally is, for others as well as for our selves, helps to satisfy the exactions of the spirit.-Harper's Weekly.
