"A good horse brings more money
today than for many years. The
bicycle and auto cannot knock out
the fourfooted steed at any stage Of

The man who runs a farm may
not have as soft hands or as clear a

leave net profit every year.
"A near by exchange says; "Ac-
cording To n non official but pretty
careful count taken on recent Sun
days, ii appears that only about one
third OF the adult population of the
country goes to church. That is u
poor showing, calling for missionary
effort to correct 1t, and perhaps the
calling in of some who now garrison

too obscure for definition or tnbula-

An Hail. to linden.

The first excursion train over the
1ew line of the Mineral Point Il
Northern took place Tuesday even
ing of this week, under the auspices
of Raven Ledge, X Of p. For the
past sixty years or more the citizens
Of Mineral Point and Linden have
been exchanging hospitality, the
genuineness of which is unrivalled
by that IF any other two neighboring
towns in the state. Heretofore it was
necessary to go and come by the
motive power OF the horse, and any
old rig would do, while the weather
or condition of the roads made no
difference. If anything special was
doing at either place the citizens of
the other were sure to turn out in
goodly numbers. Tuesday evening
was no exception, and the royal re
ception extended the Knights Of this
city by their Brother Knights of

Slowly Starving to Death.

Death by starving is slowly COM
ing to the Rev. 9. G. Swartz, re-
tired Methodist minister. at his home
ia Monroe He has been almost
without nourishment whatever for
twenty-four days, and he is now so
weak that he cannot move his arms.
Two weeks ago it was thought that
the end was at hand and since that
time he has been slowly sinking.
His condition is due to progressive
bulbar paralysis, which more than
six months ago took from him the
power OF speech, and made 1t neces-
sary for him to use tablet and pencil
Later the paralysis appeared in his
lower face and throat, making it i'm.
possible for him to swallow, and fol-
mon hs he lived on liquids that had
to be forced down a stomach tube
His tongue has disappeared entirely
To physicians his case is most re.
markable one.
| Mr.. Swartz in his normal health
weighed nearly 200 pounds. and q
year ago, when his ailment first ap
peared, he lost 100 pounds in six
months. He is well known among
the older ministers of the NJ. f. con
ference and by many readers of tho

NEW SOURCE OF SILK

A wearable silk fabric made from
gelatine solution is manufactured in
Glasgow with undoubted success. 1t
can be dyed any color and takes all
shades with a brilliant luster that RI
walls even that of natural silk. The
fiber is prepared by ejecting fine threads
of a strong solution of gelatine from
very small orlfices on to an endless
band conveying them to bobbins, on
which they are reeled, After leaving
the small orifices the gelatlne solidifies
in a continuous fiber a thousandth OF
an inch In diameter possessing lus-
ter even greater than that Of a natural
silk. The fiber in this state, however
Is unsuitable for use, as 1t is easily
spoiled by water. In order to render
II impervious il Is waterproofed by a
special process.

EPIDEMIcs OF HISTORY

The decrease in the death rate of
great cities during the last few years
can only be appreciated by comparison
with similar statistics in the past. In
the twelfth century not less than fif-
teen epidemics of disease and many
famines carried off the people of Eng
land. The thirteenth century saw
twenty plaques and nineteen famines,
while the fourteenth had black rec
ord of disease. In 134S the "black
plague" or "black DEATH" which was
brought into the country from the
east, caused the death of 100000 per-
sons in London alone. while In Europe
altogether 25OOO,OO0 people fell victims
to its ravages. In 1885 the sweating
sickness" appeared in England, caus-
ing great destruction of human life. 1t
reappeared at various intervals for a
century thereafter. The last terrible
visitation Of the plague in England
was in 1664-1666. by which 100000 lives
were lost in London alone. This epi-
demic was followed by the great fire
of 1866, which destroyed $4,000 houses,
including all the most densely popu-
lated portions OF the city. The re-
building of London with some regard
TO sanitary laws appears to have put
the first check on the epidemic dis
eases that had previously devastated
its population.
