Sunday is not only religious but a
hygienic institution. 1t is beneficent In
its uses. morally and physically. How
workers should best spend the Sunday
is still moot question. but that it
should be a time of soul refreshment
and recreation. moment, as Miss Co
relli expresses 1t, ''for standing and
taking breath on the threshold Of an
other week." a season for thought, for
intellectual enjoyment. for the solace
OF nature and the admiration OF its
wonders and beauty, no sensible per
son will be likely TO deny. Whether
motoring or card playing is the best
way to attain these ends must be left
to each individuals judgment-Lady

One excellent instance Is supplied
here in what was known as Goods

accused of stealing duck. He set up
seven defenses: ~ The accused bought
the duck and paid for 1t; GU he found

into his garden; 90 it was put In his
pocket while he slept. Six and seven
are not recorded, but an amicus curiae

The Distance to the SIM.

If the water in the Atlantic ocean
were made to fill circular pipe reach
ing from the earth to the sun. dis
lance of 93,OOO,000 miles, the diameter
of the pipe would be 1887 yards, or,
rather over n mile, while pipe OF
similar length to contain the Pacific
would be over one and three-quarter
miles across. Yet the distance to the
sun Is so great that il a child were
born with an arm long enough to reach
to the sun it would not live long
enough to know that 1t had touched 1t,
for sensation passes along our nerves
at the rate of 100 feet second, and to
travel from the sun to the earth at
that rate would take one and half
centuries, and such an abnormal in
FAINT is an unlikely centenarian.-

savaxes First to Wear Mustaches.

In Greece and Rome no mustaches
were worn without boards, but In the
conquering days Of the Roman empire
several half civilized races who had
come partially under the influence Of
the Romans and who wished to be rid
of the name Of barbara, or weavers of
boards, attempted to shave in imitation
Of their conquerors, but as they had
very imperfect implements for the pur-
pose and as the upper lip is notorious
ly the hardest part of the face to shave
in the case of any one poorly skilled
In the art they were unable to make a
clean job of it and left quantity OF
hair on the upper lip. This mark was
characteristic of several nations on the
confines of Roman civilization, of the
Gauls in particular, of the Dacians and
some others. The Latin language has
no word for mustache.

An amateur is one who plays for
pleasure only. He can play with whom
he pleases, so long as he plays for
pleasure alone. lie may play with or
against team which is being paid or
playing for gate money. He may play
with professionals or against them.
There is no reason why an amateur
should not play in any company he
pleases SO long as he enjoys il, pro-
yided he plays only for that reason.
The professional is one who engages
in athletics for livelihood. This,
however, would not make Il profession.

Discrimination in freight rates is
the greatest curse of this country. II
has driven manufacturing out of this
state, aud it has compelled the Iowa
farmer to ship all of his products to
distant market and purchase his
supplies in distant emporium. The
policy of the railroads has Away
been to get the long haul on every
thing. There is no natural reason
why agricultural implements should
not be manufactured in Iowa; yet nine
tenths of the implements used on Iowa
farms are made in Illinois. There Is
no natural reason why the hogs and
cattle raised 100 miles east of Sioux
City and Omaha should not be shipped
to the packers in those enterprising
cities; yet freight rates are so adjust
ed that live stock from that territory
has to be shipped to Chicago over 400
miles distant, Every pound of beef,
pork and mutton, every bushel Of
grain produced in Iowa must pay
tribute to Chicago. Indeed rates are
made which give Chicago toll out OF
every shipment from Iowa which goes
past the city on the lake to an eastern
consignee. The officials Of the west
ern railroads and their heavy stock
holders are financially interested in
Chicago commercial enterprises,
banks and real estate. Consequently
they are making all the .country west
of the city pay tribute by means OF
discrimination in freight rates. Ode.

In the museum connected with the
Edinburgh university is an exhibit

value of fresh air. A professor has
secured the lungs OF an Eskimo, a

pure white, the Londoner's lungs are a

are Jet black. The Eskimo had kept
his lungs clean not because he knew
more about breathing than the Lon

he lived I'm land OF snow fields and

Diphtheria Vanishing.

A few new cases developed last

mild, however, having now about
recovered. Many of the children
have been inocu1ated with anti
toxine and the alarming stage OF
the situation has passed. We are
informed by older citizens that
diphtherla does not thrive here, or
that it has never been known to take
the shape of an epidemic or spread
to any extent. 1t is probable that
our water is perfectly free from
these germs. DR.. Blanton, presi-
dent of the County Board of health,
informs us that the situation is
improving. There are no new cases
developed yet and those who have
the disease are recovering. 1t is
