CHOICE MISCELLANY
Too Hard ON Rheum.tie,.

1t was a matter of course that the
doctors should come to regard con-
sumption as communicable, and it
would not be surprising Vhould they
seek the microbe Of cold feet. But it is
going little too far when ey persist
in the assertion that rheumatism is in
fectious. The great antiquity Of this
malady is undoubted, yet it still re-
mains a stupendous and battling mys-
terry. Now, as before the Christian
era. it's treatment is empirical and inef-
fectual OF all the manifold Affections
which restrain the hilarity of mankind
it is the last about which the doctors
should dogmatize. Their proper atti-
tude toward rheumatism is one of hu-
mility and awe.
1t may be true, as the doctors affirm,
that rheumatism is catching" that a
person of blameless life may acquire
it's seeds by consorting with a friend
or neighbor; but, considering their ap-
palling ignorance of it's causes, it's ma
ture, the tissues it involves and it's
proper treatment, they can show no
warrant for so distinct and alarming
an announcement. Surely it is enough
that the rheumatic sufferer is without
hope of human aid, is the victim of the
physicians impotence and is already
summed by the timid as center Of
moral pestilence, without his being
prescribed as source of physical in
fection.-Philadelph Public Ledger

What is the secret of health and old
age? Mr.. Chamberlain, as chancellor
of the University of Birmingham, has
just been assuring his medical students
that they may take ices, smoke at work
and at play and drink with impunity.
Students, as rule, need no such assur-
ance, but the experience Of four other
aged and eminent politicians, published
on the same day. somewhat discounts
Mr. Chamberlain's belief in ices, smok-
ing and drinking.
Lord Avebury in the Young Man
frowns on the Highbury regimen and
cOunsels the open air, with little to eat
or drink. Mr.. Frederic Harrison says.
Touch not tobacco. spirits nor any un-
clean thing and rise from every meal

Farm Coming Back to Its Own.
Things on the farm are changing,

the barometer of social life, that there

less than so per cent Of the population
were moving countryward. In 1900
the statistics show that 20 per cent
were seeking out homes in rural dis
tricts. and it is likely that the popula-
ton now going away from the city
reaches IS per cent. At last, with Solo
mon, they are discovering that "all is
vanity in the cities; that friendships
are difficult; that neighbors don't know
the names one of the other; that noise,
dirt and confusion are there, and the
struggle to live is at the desperate

secondary effect, which is PERTAINS
even more beneficial, seen In the fact
that the volatile oil passes out from
the body mostly unchanged through
various channels, but chiefly through
the lungs and skin. SO that in the
tropics nature has provided antisep-
ties which in passing ont by the lungs
and skin kill the hurtful microbes
which might be breathed in and also
prevent to great extent the attack
OF mosquitoes. 1t is well known fact
that insects, including mosquitoes, dis
like volatile oils and will probably not
attack an individual using spices as
food adjunct. 1t is interesting to note
that spices grow where there is high
rainfall combined with much heat,
conditions under which malarial influ-

A Poem For His Tom bat one.


In John Chase. Brewer has unique
citizen. John is engaged in writing pO-
etry which will be sold by him and the
proceeds go toward the purchase Of
suitable tombstone for himself. He
will be seventy-one years old in Janu-
airy and when not writing poetry is
generally saving wood. In fact, Mr..
Chase calls himself the wood sawyer
and poet laureate Of Brewer. John
thinks his poetry is of sufficient merit
to warrant his having tombstone
rather better than the average. His
latest poem is death song which he
considers his masterpiece. He hopes to
have the entire poem on one side Of the
stone and his name, age and date of
death on the other Meanwhile he re-
mains hearty and continues to saw
wood.-Lewiston (Me) Journal.

that in the color Of peoples eyes is a
protective adaptation to surroundings.
Natives of regions where blue light is
predOminant-Swe NOrwegians and
sailors, for instance-have blue eyes.

yellow light is experienced, the eyes

The Junior Normal Picnic.

The picnic toward which we
looked forward to with anxious
eyes materialized last Saturday.
The sun arose that morning bright
and fair and the picnickers' hearts
were filled with JOY. Indeed some
were so happy that they forgot all
about bringing rain coats, and ev-
en- led III giving three cheers for
the weather man.
At about eight o'clock four large
hay racks and numerous buggies
left the dining hall for the picnic
grounds. They reached Perry
Falls about II o'clock and at once
everyone scattered through the
hills, trying to get their fill of
some of the most beautiful scenery
in Nebraska. But when dinner
was announced no one was laggard
in trying to get their fill also.
About two o'clock it began to
rain and everyone sought what
shelter they could. Strangely,
though several persons were
cheered, we did not hear, whats
the matter with the weather man."
and the answer, ':he's all right.''
However, it wouldn't have been
a picnic if it had not rained. At
ter the rain ceased everyone was
willing to come home and left
earlier than was intended. When
they reached the fort a stop was
made and some made an inspection
of the barracks and listened to re-
treat. All reached home feeling
fine and let the town know that
they were still alive by giving
normal yells and singing several
songs. If you want to know who
''bested" someone for their ice
cream, ask "Afer." If you want
to know who had to seek shelter
in claim shanty, ask the Col
onel." If you want to know who
had a good time, ask everyone who
was there.
