Indianians spent $4,000, 600 a year
attempting to cure themselves, n
only one-fourth of that amount to pre-
rent disease. We don't seem to take
much stock any mor in the old
adage about the ounce of prevention
and pound of cure, asserts the Column.

Three miles in eleven minutes was
the record made the other day by a
New York hospital ambulance-a
plain, ordinary, old-fashioned horse
ambulance into the bargain. And no
body objected to the fast driving,
least of all the man whose life was
saved by it.
The gold mining industry in South
Africa has at last fully recovered
from the effects of the war, states
the New York Tribune. The output
from the Rand Is now greater than
ever before IN the history ct that
treasure land. 1t is to be expected
that the general prosperity OF the
whole country will similarly increase.
In hiring a herdic, coupe, or other
carriage, never forget. to look at the
horses and hire those that look the
best and have no locked tails, m
ishes Our Dumb Animals. Whe we
take a herdic we pick out one drawn
by a good horse, tell the driver not
to hurry, but take it easy, and give
him five or ten cents over his fare Tor
being kind to his horse. We never
ride behind a dock-tailed horse.
There are three ways to learn the
value of a dollar, states the Troy
(Kan.) Chief. The first is to spend
it and see what you get for it. The
second is to earn it and see what you
give for it. The third is to save 1t
and yearn for all the things it might
buy if you were weak enough to
spend 1t.
The average f%ruit-growing farmer
has been putting off the spray prob
lem from year to year, dreading the
expense a little, but disliking still
more to learn a e process, says the
Massachusetts, rloughman. But the
time is right at hand when many OF us
will have to buy a spraying outfit and
learn to use it right, or make up our

brown-tail moth have added the finish

situation.
A gentleman lectured here last
week, says Goodwin's Salt Lake
Weekly, his theme being principally
the technical schools of Germany,
where thousands of students graduate
annually from technical schools and
find immediate employment in the
manufactures of that country, with
the result that Germany is fast be-
coming the foremost of manufacturing
powers, although the lecturer admit
ted that in all irst-class works in
Germany, American tools are used.
If after centuries of effort even Ger
many is obliged to send to America
for tools to place in the hands OF her
workingmen, it is clear that the
genius after all is on this side of the
sea, only in many important lines it
has not yet been carried out.
The late Gen. Fitzhugh Lees eulo-
CYSTIC references to Lincoln in his re-
cent address before the JOINT session
of the New York Legislature are an.
other evidence that the passions and
prejudices of the civil war era are
forever buried in the United States,
avows Leslie's Weekly. No more
striking tribute was ever paid to the
martyr President than was passed up
on him by this former eminent Con-
federate soldier. 1t recalls the eulogy
paid to Sumner, just after his death,
by Senator Lamar, also a distinguish
ed adherent of "the lost cause" Lees
eulogy of Lincoln was the last public
utterance of n of the bravest sol
diers of the South, and, like the dying
words of Gen. Grant on Mount Nc
Gregor, it was an eloquent plea TO,
perpetual peace.
Mr.. Carnegie provides a retiring
pension for every superannuated pro
lessor in the county. Some OF our
readers will know SO much mort
about this subject than we do that we
hesitate to express an opinion, but
we will mildly inquire whether what
is called academic freedom will in
any way BE- affected in the colleges
that accept Mr.. Carnegie's bounty.
Will an invisible paddock be placed
upon the lips of every professor who
expects to take advantage Of this

The work of the creative artist
author, musician, poet, painter, sculp
tor-brings pleasure to him in the do
ing and pleasure to those who view
the finished product, philosophizes the
New York Journal. Perhaps the work

New York's busiest street, diligently
rolling up more dollars and shrewdly
wrestling from others their opportunl
ties to work, except as hirelings, MAJ
