From the Union Springs Herald.
How is it that the baseball association

by a prominent citizen a few days ago,
and needless to say went unanswered.

OTHER MONKEYS DO

DO
A monkey sat in a cocoanut tree
And unused to himself like this:
while l don't move in society,
| can't see what | miss.
They say it gives one great aplomb,
And imparts a certain grace,
But high life doesn't look good to nae
And | don't like a rapid pace.
So I'll sit me down In this pleasant tree,
Or swing by my tail all day.
OF course | could shine in society.
But | just don't feel that way"

COMMENTS ON MEN AND
MATTERS OF THE WORLD

A Maryland woman is suing her hus-
band for divorce because he is so hand
some that the girls won't let him alone.
Again we have an illustration of the ia
tai gift of beauty"
NOTE FROM THE evARMINTs."
Minister Bowen. Accept our thanks.
We really feel most grateful.
For while we admire the President,
His bullets are most hateful.
You've made his visit briefer than
1t was at first intended
And while your favor was unsought,
Our thanks are now extended.
Had you not lifted up the lid
And made the pot to boil
The chances are our bodies would
Have Uttered up the soil"
In new musical comedy the Swinging
song is proving immensely popular.
Seven girls take their seats in seven
swings which are suspended directly over
the footlights and they are swung out
over the heads of the audience as far as
the fourth row. No wonder gentlemen
with field glasses under their arms are
fighting for chance to pay $6.5 each for
seats in the front row.
From present indications there will be
another labor famine in the Kansas wheat
fields along about harvest time Efforts
are already being made to import laborers
from the east. and the director of the
Free Employment bureau at Topeka says
that 10000 men will be needed. 1t is pos
sible that adventuresome college youths
will have another chance to shine as har-
vesters this year, but the Kansas farmers,
in the light of their past experiences will
no doubt give the preference to men who
are used to hard work. The glorious life
of the harvester is romantic and inspir-
ing to a degree when you read about IL,
but the reality is not so pleasant. the
poets who sing most mellifuously about
garnering the sheayes are the individuals
who never did any manual labor in their
lives

Arlington to one who will see it at Annapolis,
it is to be replied that it is better to have one
who has gone thither for the purpose look upon
it reverently than to have thousand glance at
it thoughtlessly in passing by on other errands;
and If the placing of it at Annapolis shall re-
suit in attracting thither many patriotic pill
grims, then it will have served an additionally
benefcent purpose
We have no national pantheon, and we want
none. In the Hall of Fame, Of which NewYork
claims proud possession, the names Of our i'm
mortals are inscribed. But it is well that their
mortuary shrines are distributed far and wide
among the States. Washington rests at Mount
Vernon, Adams at Quincy, Jefferson at Month
cello Lincoln at Springfield, Hamilton and
Grant in New-York. 1t would be impious to
disturb them. The placing of our first sea hero's
tomb upon the bank Of the Severn will give US
one such shrine the more, and one of the most
precious and inspiring of them all.

,,ro,s first step toward the restoration OF per
sons health is to incIose the infected tissue
With q barrier that prevents the invasion by
baciIr If regions which are still sound. I'm
,Snol distention of the lungs therefore, is likely
+o promote rather than TO check, the spread OF
tba disease Hence, in Dr. Hutchinsons judg
ment the wise physician will let those organs
severely alone, relying only upon fresh air, rest
and plenty of nutritious food.
An additional reason for pursuing this course
;s found by the contributor to THE Medical
Record" in certain announcements recently
made by foreign experts named Robin and
Rinet These investigators report the measure
mept Of the gases inhaled and eXhaled by ten
cOnsumptives. The amount of oxygen absorbed
was apparently GA per cent larger than that
taken up by healthy persons of the same weight
and the carbonic acid gas thrown of was 20 per
cent in excess DR.. Hutchinson is not aware
that the experiment has been repeated by other
inourers. but the figures seem to indicate
much greater respiratory activity in the sick
than in the we'll Incidentally, the phenomenon
may explain the ability of tuberculous patients
to eat more heartily than other persons, much
of the food which is taken into their systems
being wasted by combustion in the lungs
Whether this be true or not, Dr. Hutchinson is
convinced that the utmost caution should be
observed about indulgence in athletic pur-
suits which induce more than usually vigorous
breathing. The point certainly deserves care
full consideration.
