Dodging Appendicitis.

A writer in The National Review, y
styling himself #. R. G. S.-Fellow
of the Royal College of Surgeons, gives
the following advice on ''how to dodge
appendicitis" He says:
ITO dodge appendicitis you don t
have to dodge cherry stones or grape
seeds, These for the most part will
take care of themselves. What you
must dodge is the rush-oreer meal.
If some time by chance you do have to
bolt a meal you must be careful to
avoid taking violent exercise or doing
hard work Immediately after it. And
whenever you violate both these in
functions you must under no circum-
stances violate them for two or three
or half a dozen meals in success
sion" IF. r. G.. S." further ex-
plains how the malevolent microbes
accumulate and thrive when imper-
fectly digested food is supplied
them, and how they swarm to
the appendix and turn it into a resting
place until they are lusty enough to
make their attack against health all
along the line. Fortunately the dvice
.sDoa't bolt heavy" is advice which
can easily be followed. 1t dozen t
necessarily preclude quick lunch, but
it does preclude quick heavy lunch.
Take glass of milk, or an apple, if
you are hurried, and then be sure
that in the evening you take plenty of
time to digest your dinner. IF. r. c..
S. is con fdent that if care is taken in
this way the modern man will have a
fighting chance for life without the
surgeons. help.

and for the information Of any friends
and the public generally, | desire to
state that | will be an aspirant for the
Watertown postmastersdip to succeed
the incumbent whose term will expire
in March 1905. This announcement
would not have beer made SO long in

silence might be misconstrued. trust
that it will not be considered ill-timed
under the circumstances and that it

My uncle, General Sherman, was
very fond of attending the theatre. He
also objected strongly, along with the
rest of US lesser mortals who dare not
express our real thoughts, to having
bibulous, selfish men stumble and push
over his knees to get out between the
acts. One evening young man with
the clothes and voice OF a gentleman,
began to crowd his way to the aisle
from the end of row in which Gener.
al Sheridan was sitting.
Il beg thousand pardons, Gener-
al he said as he reached my uncle
"but may get by you?''
Yes" said my uncle coolly, as he
Strengthened his knees behind the

Guessing Contests Illegal.

Guessing contests have been de-
clared to be lotteries within the postal
lottery statutes.
Postmaster General Wynne has mac g
the following official announcements:
''For a number OF years, the post
Office department has admitted to the
mails dvertisements and other matter
concerning so called guessing or 'es-
timating' contests The question Of
whether or not these holdings are lot
teries has several times been presen-
ted 10 the attorney general, who held
that they were not lotteries within the
meaning of the postal lottery act In
view Of two recent cases in which the
supreme court and New York court of
appeals rendered opinions, the post
master general felt warranted again in
submitting the question to the attorney
general.
Following vhe opinions in the two
cases, the attorney general now holds
that the schemes are lotteries; it is
therefore incumbent upon the post
Office department to enforce the law,
under which the postmaster general is
authorized upon evidence satisfactory
to him, that any person or company
which is engaged in conducting a
lottery or other scheme for the dis
tribution of money by chance, to Issue
an order that all mail addressed to
such persons be returned, stamped
fraudulent. AS number of legitimate
enterprises are running, caution must
be used.
If scheme has already been entered
upon in good faith, the department
will not issue fraud ORDERS"

A Unique Wedding Trip.

The Milwaukee Sentinel OF Wednes-
day gives the following relative to a
young lady of Jefferson county, Miss
Ethel May Roach of Waterloo:
Mrs. Joseph j O'Laughlin, bride OF
a day, is at the Presbyterian hospital
awaiting an operation for appendicitis.
Until her hurried marriage at Michi-
gan City, Ind. she was Miss Ethel
May Roach of Waterloo, Wis, daugh-
ter Of A. D. Roach, wealthy merchant
and land owner Of the Wisconsin city.
1t was in order that he might be
near her day and night in the hospital
in TIE trying days that are expected to
follow the dangerous operation that
Joseph j. O'Laughlin of Racine, Wis,
hastened the wedding ceremony and
contributed a new feature in bridal
trips,
Theirs was from the Office of the
magistrate who married them to the
Presby terian hospital in this city, and
there the novel honeymoon will be
spent until Dr.. f. G. Billings decides
whether or not an operation is neces-
sary, and, if it is, performs it.
The young people met III 1901 in
Racine and within year their engage
ment was announced. A year ago
Miss Roach was taken i'll with appen-
dicitis and an operation was performed
in Milwaukee. She did not rally
rapidly and her father wanted her to
90 to bis ranch in Oregon and recu-
perate Recently, however. Miss
Roach developed appendicitis for
second time and it was decided that
she should be brought to Chicago for
examination by an expert. Then it
was that the young people decided
that it would be best to be married at
once.

WiSCOnSin'S Helen Kellers

The marvellous attachments of the
blind deaf Helen Keller stand AS ar
evidence of what can be accomplished
under seemingly insurmountable diff
culties. 1t Is not generally known
| however, that there are in different
schools of the Uuited States nearly
thirty unfortunates Of this clasa. Wis.
consin has two of these, Eva Halliday
Of Milwaukee, and Annie johnson, OF
Colfax
Eva Halliday lost her hearing and
sight in infancy. She has now been
in the Wisconsin School for the Deaf,
at Delavan, a little more than two
years. She has learned to read and
to operate rapidly the Braille and
Remington typewriters, She has also
been taught speech and articulates SO
that those who are familiar with her
have little difficulty in understanding
her. She reads the lips by placing her
fingers upon the lips of the speaker
During her two years schooling she
has made more rapid progress than
has and other blind-deaf student, even
including Helen Keller, in an equal
time.
Annie Johnson lost her sight and
hearing at the age of twelve. She
was bright and ambitious school girl
until this affiiction came upon her.
Last January she entered the Delavan
School for the deaf She has a vocab-
ulary and voice resulting from her
twelve years OF existence in full pos
session of all of her senses. The prob
lem of teaching her is quite different
from that of teaching Eva. Annie has
only to master the point system used
by the blind and to learn the manipu-
lation of typewriters. This she has
done even 10 the short time she has
been in the state school.
Both Eva and Annie are bright,
happy, light hearted girls. They are
optimistic in tendencies and thorough
ly appreciative of all that is being
done for them. No department of the
work of the Delavan school is more
fascinating to visitors than is the de-
partment of the biz nd deaf This de
partment is under the direction Of
Miss Della Rice, of Columb bus, Ohio.
Both of these gills. with their teacher,
will. be present at the State Teachers
Association which meets at Milwau-
kee, December 9th, 2Sth and 29th
They will give an exhibition of their
Accomplishment and the method used
in reaching bllndd students.

At the Worlds Fair.

Though the many great sights
that came under m.y observation while
at the st. Louis Purchase Ex-
position several weeks ago, [ happened
to thilk how | would answer should
be asked to give the fundamental reas-
on for the great mass Of people being
there.
After giving this idea considerable
thought, | came to the conclusion that
the shortest and best way to answer
the question would be to say-curios-
lty. BY this little experience [ felt
disposed to think that one of the most
valuable inclinations to which the
human mind is susceptible is curiosity.
The result OF curiosity has made many
man famous. There is no other
fact that appertains more readily to
that which is impossible, than the idea
OF trying to be a knowledge seeker
without being curiosity seeker.
That man has never lived who was
noted philosopher, that was not a
curiosity seeker. And in the same
light We may refer to the self made
man who has made a mark in the
educational world, and as well to manv
others who are great in their profess
sion.
One of the greatest discoveries
recorded in the worlds history un-
doubtedly occurred IS result Of this
great medium. that OF Columbus when
be discovered America. There are
very few things that come under our
observation through curiosity, but
what in Il course Of time prove to be
of some educational value. and among
the events that offer the greatest op-
portunities along these lines, there
certainly is none greater than the
eXpOsltiOns. As to their educational
value, they are events of the past the
nations Of the world can point to with
pride, and among them all, none seem
greater than the one now going on at
St. Louis. A worlds fair. the most
wonderful the world has ever produced.
In words more brief, it is a concen-
trated world planted upon an area of
something like a square mile With
it's artistic beauty aud it's architectural
excellence Such a gigantic display is
beyond the comprehension of the hu-
man mind. Here, there, everywhere,
we find in open display the prodigious
achievements of the world s great ma
tions, by which is certainly demon
strated their inventive genius and
brightest enthusiasm. This all tends
to give one an idea Of the world as a
whole, its encyclopedia routine Of
centuries gone by, its glory, and it's
grandeur.
Viewing it all Geographically, we
can clearly see how it has played it's
part in the moral and intellectual de-
velopment of the civilized nations.
There is little that is not profitable.
and referring to the naval exhibit |
speak of one Of the most interesting
of the whole fair Mioiature battle
ships give a display that is simply
great.
By this display is demonstrated the
real work of naval battle. The
blocade, the discharge OF the mammoth
guns with the rapid manipulation Of
these modern war facilities makes it
all sc real and exciting that it raises
the hair. Many people who 60 to the
fair consider it the grandest display Of
the whole exposition.
