STONE AGE MAN FOUND.
Cave Dweller Buried With Flint

The skeleton Of a cave dweller. who
fiourished somewhere between the old
stone age and the new-anywhere be-

years ago-has Just been found In one
OF the famous caves at Cheddar, says

out into waterflled chamber.
To drain the further end of the cave
Mr.. Cough had trench cut to the
water hole, and in doing 80 two layers
of stalagmite had to be cut through.
Between them was cave earth, and
In this earth was found the skeleton
OF man Of enormous antiquity which
the stalagmite had kept in an almost
perfect state of preservation.
The bones of the leg exhibit the

OF this remote period. The thick

projections over the eye sockets also
add their testimony, while measure

alarm clock is connected with spirit
lamp and a kettle. When the alarm

INDIFFERENT TO THE NUDE.
Japanese Not Worried at Display Of
"Human Form Divine"

A lady travelling in Japan thus
writes of a native bathing resort:
Our coolies trotted OFF gayly with us
through bamboo jungle till we ar
rived at the Garden of Eden. II il
called Ubago in the guide books, but.
nevertheless. am sure it was the
Garden Of Eden. Anyway the cos
tunes, II so they may be called, were
of that period. Our coolies dumped
us down and refused to proceed in
spite OF our embarrassed motion of
the hands to wave them on. For we
had reached one of the famous bath
villages, sight supposed to be Of
great interest to the unsophisticated
globe-trotter. In this village the In.
habitants spend most Of their time
bathing In the hot springs which
abound In the Deighborhood. All the
village receptions and tea parties take
place In the public bath. and 1t was
to one Of these tea parties that we
bashfully followed our guide. He re-
moved sliding panel In the wall of
certain house and disclosed two
large tanks of steaming water, filed
with many bathers, who received us
with much pleasure and many smiles.
Some Of them were placidly drinking
tea, and others were smoking their
pipes. Over that scene ! would have
drawn a curtain, but there was no
curtain to draw"

MINERALS ESSENTIAL TO LIFE
Important Role Played by so-calied
Inorganic Substances.

That the minute traces of metallic
substances found in living bodies are
not accidental, but essential to the
performance of the functions of life,

ologist. He goes so far as to say
that Zoology and botany are but
chapters OF mineralogy, so important
is the role played in organic life by
these so-called inorganic substances.

serts, due to oxidation. As to nutri-
ton, 1t Is impossible, he says, when
the food is deprived of its mineral
elements. Dogs fed on substances
from which the salt and other inor-
ganic matter has been carefully re-
moved die of starvation. At the bet
tom of our vital processes, asserts this
writer, are fermentation and oxida-

pend on the presence of certain min

role OF pepsin In digestion seems to
depend on the presence Of iron. In
short, the organic substances or

Ambassador Bearded Gar.

Sir Jerome Bowes, Queen Eliza
beth's ambassador to Ivan the Terri
BILE, car Of Russia. in 1888, had an
exciting time. Ivan had killed his
own son few years earlier in fl of
passion, and was no easy character to
deal with. The car saw fit to dis.
parage the English queen, whom, he
declared, he did not reckon to be his
fellow" there being those who were
her betters. Bowes could not stand
this sort Of thing, and pluckily as.
serted that his princess was as great
as any in Christendom. What! As
great as the emperor of GERMANY"
demanded Ivan. Why" answered
Bowes. with a fine assumption OF
scorn, such is the greatness Of the
queen, my mistress, that the king her
father had not long since the emperor
in his pay in his wars against France"
The GEAR was at first more furious
than ever, but In time he took Bowes
into his favor.

Death Of James Crowley.

Ryan Reporter; Nh. James Crow
ley of Castle Grove, met with very
sudden death last Monday morning
He had gone to- water tank for a
pail of water and in returning pas
sed close to a team standing near.
1t seems that he got too close to one
of the horses and it kicked, striking
him terrible blow in the abdomen
He got up and started for the house
and reached it all right. One Of the
boys Immediately started to telephone
for a physician, but he called him
back, saying that he would soon re-
cover. However he shortly COM
menced feeling worse and finally be-
came unconscious. A physician was
Immediately summoned, but he was
beyond the relief of mortal hands
and died in three hours. Mr.. Crow
ley was man who was well known
throughout this community. His
honesty and integrity were never
brought into question and he lived
an honest christian life. Mr.. Crow
ley was born in the county Kerry,
Ireland, in 1885, thus making him
60 years of age at the time of his
death. He removed to the United
States together with his parents
while yet child, the family settling
in Cleveland, Ohio, and shortly
moved to Dubuque county. Ashort
time afterward Mr.. Cowley married
and moved to the farm on which he
lived until his death. He was the
father of eight children, six of whom
together with the widow are left to
mourn his death. The funeral was
held Wednesday morning from the
church Of the Immaculate Concer-
ton at Argand, and was attended by
an immense concourse of relatives
and friends. Services were conduct
ed by his pastor, Rev. NJ. S. Murphy
who in his sermon stated that one Of
the best, if not his best parishioner
had gone to happier home. The
bereayed relatives have the SYM
pathy of the community in their
sorrow.

An Interesting Day.

DIR. Dittmer's Sunday School class
picnic held last Wednesday was a
repetition of past successes. The din
ner bore out the enviable reputation
the class cooks long since attained
and the social hours of the day were
most pleasant indeed
Our criticism of the program
would extend adversely only t. it's
brevity. DR.. Dittmer was warmly
congratulated upon the work he and
his class are doing by DR.. H. O..
Pratt who took for the subject of his
talk the effect of bible study upon
the learning of nations. DR.. Pratt
averred that wherever the bible was
an open book, that nation was farth
er advanced along educational lines
that its sister nations of the bound
bible. AS usual his remarks we're
earnestly attended and warmly ap-
preciated. He was followed by Cap
tain Merry, who was enthusiastical-
ly welcomed to the stand. Mr..
Merry produced statistics showing
the vast amount each year spent up
on the mind education of the chill
dren Of Iowa, Illinois and Wiscon-
sin, in comparison with which he
deplored the meager sum spent upon
the heart development of these same
children and in connection with the
great necessity for heart culture, he
admirably spoke of the work such
men as the doctor were doing along
this line.
Professor A. o. Stanger was also
called upon for speech and respon-
ded in a most pleasant manner.
The speakers were introduced by
DR.. Dittmer who is success not
only as teacher in the Sabbath
School and as a promoter of class
picnics, but also as master Of cere-
monies.
Both Messers Douglas and Hyde
brought cameras to the grounds and
pictures were taken Of the grouped
picnickers, the doctor announcing
that the latter photographer, at
least, intended giving free one of the
pictures to the best looking lady in
Guided therein. Altogether, as FIVE
have intimated heretofore, the day
was letter perfect.

THE WORD "MoB."

How 1t Worked Its Way Into the
English Language.
The word mob" is an Authorization.
It Is nothing but a fragment of the full
Latin original mobile vulgus" ''the
tickle common people," First the noun
"vulgus" was dropped. Mobile" COM
ing into common use. was in q few years
cut down to mob" BY Swift it was
abominatcd to his dying day as Pc
culiarly odious kind of slang. Addi-
son sympathized with this feeling. In
No. 133 of the Spectator "mob' is put
down by him us one of the ridiculous
words which he fears will in time be
looked upon as part of the speech.
There must have been then host of
minor defenders of the purity of our
tongue who bewailed its increasing use
and pointed to that fact us evidence OF
the growing degeneracy of the Ian
guage. But the assailcd form stoutly
held its ground and outlived its cen
surers. Addison's fears have been re
allied. The abbreviation has thorough
ly established itself. Accordingly Q
word which their predecessors stigma
tized as n corruption of the vilest kind
is now used unhesitatingly by the most
precise of modern jurists. The reason
of its prevalence is obvious. 1t came
to supply very genuine want. There
is no other single word that conveys
definitely the idea of particular sor
of riotous ssemblage.-HarpeHs.
